Gary didn't know how to get to the dungeon, so he had to let Edd support Davos and lead the way while he followed behind.
The three of them came to the entrance of the dungeon and were about to go down when suddenly a figure flashed across the shield hall next to them. Both Gary and Edd saw it. The man was wearing House Baratheon's leather armor.
"Is there any fish that slipped through the net? I'll go over and take a look. Just stand there and wait for me. Don't go down yet."
Gary said, then chased after the figure that flashed by.
Edd helped Davos sit on a wooden stake, leaning against the wall, looking at the ice spikes not far away, and shuddered.
"Honestly, that King in the North has such a terrifying Magic and another Dragon. Where did you get the confidence to come to the North to provoke him? Isn't it bad to stay in Dragonstone? Why seek death?"
Davos looked ashen, "Dragonstone's message is blocked. We haven't received any message from Luke·Stark returning to Westeros before we set off. If I had known that he had Dragon, I would not have given any advice to His Majesty..."
He lowered his head in self-reproach. Yes, he was the one who instigated Stannis to come to the North. Because at that time, King's Landing and Highgarden were about to form an alliance, and the number of the coalition forces could exceed one hundred thousand! But Dragonstone's army was only one thousand and five, and the gap between the two sides was too big.
Dragonstone is very close to King's Landing, and there is only a piece of Blackwater Bay between the two places.
If Tywin sends troops, Dragonstone will definitely fall.
Stannis, who did not want to sit still and wait for death, took a boat to the Wall on the advice of Davos and Melisandre, hoping to win over the the North princes for his own use.
But I never thought that this new King in the North was like a god and could not be defeated at all.
Edd shrugged his shoulders, "I didn't expect that Magic of King in the North is so terrifying. Following such a big man has a much better future than following Stannis. If I were you, I would kneel down to him on the spot and swear allegiance. It's a pity, I'm not a knight, and he doesn't look down on me."
Davos said nothing and closed his eyes in pain.
Tower of Silence, first floor.
Gary followed the footprints on the snow and found this place all the way.
In front of a closed wooden door, two Bila Theon soldiers stood. One of the soldiers looked panicked, dancing and saying something to his companions.
Before he could finish speaking, a look of horror appeared on his companion's face. They were discussing intensely and were completely unaware of Gary's approach.
They didn't react until they heard Gary's footsteps walking up the wooden ladder.
The two soldiers stared intently at Gary, who was getting closer and closer.
"Is it him?"
"Hmm."
After a brief exchange, the two men immediately took off the swords from their waists and threw them to the ground, then knelt down on the wooden walkway with a "pop".
Gary slowly walked up the wooden steps, each step felt like a heavy hammer hitting their hearts.
The two were in panic, waiting for Gary to pronounce their sentence.
"Why are you two here?"
The two soldiers seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, it was Stannis who asked us to stay here."
"Yes, that's right, the king of Wildlings is locked up in the room. We are here to guard him."
Gary suddenly realized that they had been staying here and did not participate in the siege of the King's Tower, so they were very lucky to escape.
He passed by the two soldiers and said, "Pick up your sword and continue to guard here."
Gary pushed the door open and then closed the wooden door with his backhand.
Inside the house, the shackled Mance Rayder was sitting on a wooden table, looking up at the sky outside through the small window above.
When he heard the door open, he turned his head and said with a smile, "You came in with a sword. It seems you are not a prisoner. I heard that the king in the south went to kill you, and you appear here unscathed. Did you win?"
Gary took off his helmet, "Well, I won."
Mance Rayder walked to his wooden bed and sat down, facing Gary, "Dragon helped you win? Why didn't I hear anything?"
Gary spread out his left hand, and a wisp of white snow flew from the crack in the door behind him, gathering into an ice flower in his palm.
"No, it's Magic."
Mance Rayder was stunned for a while, then laughed and said, "Are you actually a Wizard? Hahahaha..."
Gary waited patiently for him to finish laughing and asked, "Are you willing to kneel down and lead all Wildlings to be loyal to me?"
Mance Rayder had been observing Gary's expression, and found that when Gary asked, there was no trace of expectation on his face.
"You know my answer?"
Gary nodded expressionlessly, "Yeah, I know."
Mance Rayder raised the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, "Then why are you here?"
Gary said calmly, "Kill you. Then, blame Stannis."
Mance Rayder could no longer suppress the smile on his lips, "Clever! Kill me with the hands of the enemy, so that the Free Folks will not hate you."
Gary also looked out the window at the scattered snowflakes, "White Walkers is heading south and will soon arrive at Wall. Your people will either die outside or come to the city to be loyal to me. My brother Jon is a good orator, and I will send him to persuade Wildlings."
Mance Rayder's smile stopped when he heard the name of a certain traitor, "Jon·Snow? That traitor? They will kill him and then eat him."
Gary withdrew his gaze and looked at Mance Rayder with gradually cold eyes, "The army will accompany Jon, Wildlings cannot kill him."
Mance Rayder hesitated for a moment, "Free Folk never kneels, they can't be loyal to you."
"What happens next has nothing to do with you."
After Gary said the last sentence, he put on his helmet, turned around and left the room.
He opened the wooden door and said to the two Byra Theon soldiers at the door, "Go in and kill him."
The two soldiers pulled out the swords from their waists and rushed into the room quickly. Only a few muffled groans were heard, and within half a minute, they came back with long swords stained with blood.
Gary did not look back at Mance Rayder's body, "Who asked you to kill Mance Rayder?"
Two soldiers knelt down behind him, "This is your Majesty's order."
Gary turned his head and asked meaningfully, "Which Your Majesty is it?"
"Yes..."
Another shrewd soldier covered his companion's mouth and replied, "It's His Majesty Stannis."
Gary smiled, "You are very smart, which is good."
He walked down the wooden ladder, "Wash off the blood on your body and come with me tomorrow to collect the troops outside the city."
The two soldiers were overjoyed. This was a sign that they would be reused!
"Yes! I am willing to serve His Majesty!"
Dungeon entrance.
Edd is waiting here. Without the company of Ice Wizard, he really doesn't dare to go down to the dungeon. If there is also a group of Bila Theon soldiers on duty in the dungeon, wouldn't he be able to stop eating if he goes down alone?
Gary returned to the entrance and waved his hand to Edd.
"Let's go in."
