Chapter 635: Ilyn Pyne

"You can continue if you want, but I need to remind you that Cersei, the Magic Mountain, and Ilyn Payne all need to be resolved by yourself. I will help you stop others at most, but I will not deal with them personally." Shen Long He reminded that he was here as an assistant this time, not to steal the head.

"Even if you don't say it, I will remind you that they are all mine." Arya also does not want to hand over the people on her list to others for resolution, and she also has her own persistence and pride.

"Very good." Shen Long nodded in praise. Among the children of the Stark family, Arya was his favorite. Sansha was too nympho in the early days, but he was too dark-bellied in the later stage; Bran would only roll his eyes; Jon doesn't know anything and is still a scumbag; Rickon, the walnut king, played too little; Robb hangs up too early; only Arya's character, which is closer to modern women, makes him appreciate.

"By the way, the Devil's Mountain is no longer what it used to be. Earlier, he competed with Dorne's red poisonous snake, and was on the verge of dying from the poison. He was brought back to life by Cersei's bachelor Cobain, and became a half-dead existence. "Speaking of this, Shen Long remembered that Cobain also stayed in Harrenhal back then, maybe they had seen each other.

"So you have to pay special attention when you assassinate him. Don't think that stabbing him will solve the problem. If you want to kill him, you may have to use wildfire." At the end of the TV series, the Mountain and the Hound fell off the Red Castle together. , fell into the sea of ​​fire, which shows that fire may kill the mountain.

I don’t know what method Cobain used to create the biochemical version of the Mountain, but according to those ghouls and the last episode of the TV series, it can be judged that fire is effective on the Mountain, and wildfire can continue to burn violently for a long time. The green flammable liquid of time, the prototype may be the Greek fire extracted from oil in the Eastern Roman Empire.

Now that Wildfire is in the hands of the Pyromancers in King's Landing, Cobain may have some. Shen Long thinks that he can start from this aspect, first take down Cobain, ask him about the weaknesses of the Magic Mountain and the whereabouts of Wildfire and how to use it, and then Based on these, find a way to kill the Mountain.

"Wildfire?" The Stark family doesn't like this, because Arya's grandfather Rickard Stark and her uncle Brandon Stark were both killed by the mad king Aerys II with wildfire dead.

Aerys II hung the fully armed Duke Rickard on the fire, announcing that the fire was the champion of the Targaryen dynasty. Landon Stark's neck, Brandon was strangled to save his father, and Duke Rickard was burned to death by wildfire.

"If you don't like wildfires, I can also help you prepare incendiaries with similar effects." Shen Long said, with Lao Bai's chemical skills, there is no problem in preparing viscous chemical agents with strong combustion capabilities, and the guaranteed effect exceeds Ordinary white phosphorous incendiary bombs are no problem at all to solve the magic mountain.

"No, it would be the best consolation for the innocents who died at his hands that the Mountain could be burned to death in agony by wildfire.

"Arya declined Shen Long's kindness.

"Then, let's do this. Tomorrow, after we enter the city, we will first go to Ser Ilyn Payne, and after we have dealt with him, we will go to Qyburn, get some useful information from Qyburn, and then send Cersei and the Magic Mountain together." Solve it together, Cersei and the Mountain are together almost anytime." The Mountain is now Cersei's most trusted subordinate, always guarding her by Cersei's side.

"We have to hurry up, James may come back at any time." Euron has now dealt with the sand snakes of the Dorn family and captured Yara, but Cersei doesn't like him, even if he returns to King's Landing Let him appear in front of him often, and James is different.

"No problem, maybe I can pretend to be Cobain and get close to Cersei. Cersei should trust him a lot, right?" Arya has already thought of a way to sneak into the Red Castle.

"By the way, I'm curious about the ability of the Faceless to make masks. Do you really need the face of a real person? Are the people whose masks you took off dead?" Shen Long asked, if this is a bit too exciting ? And Shen Long didn't want Cobain to die so early, he was the most powerful bachelor in the Seven Kingdoms, so it would be of great use to keep him.

In the book there is a detailed description of how they made and used the masks. The masks of the Faceless Men came from those who dedicated their lives to the God of Many Faces. After drinking a special concoction, the Faceless Men would cut them open. Their own face, the blood will fuse the mask with their face, and when the faceless wear it, they will inherit the memory of the dead.

This is very beneficial for them to play certain characters, so that they can quickly learn to play the speaking style of the subject, but it is a bit eerie.

"Yes, they all need to use a real person's mask; but taking off the mask doesn't mean death, I can help them put on a new mask, and they can still live." Arya explained.

That's good, otherwise, he would have to find other ways to sneak into the Red Castle. Shen Long just wanted to keep Bachelor Cobain alive, and it didn't matter what kind of face he wore to live.

After the practice, the two returned to their tents to rest. When they got up the next morning, Arya disguised herself as an ordinary citizen, and helped Shen Long make some changes. The Faceless Man just needs to change his face. , They are also proficient in how to change hairstyles, clothing, etc. After some dressing up, Shen Long soon became no different from ordinary people in King's Landing.

Continue to go south along the King's Road, and enter King's Landing City through the Gate of the Gods. From the mouth of a golden robe, Arya easily obtained the address of Ilyn Payne. Unlike Arya's imagination, Sir Ilyn Payne did not Without his own mansion, he just lives in a dirty hut.

I searched along the road pointed by the golden robe, and found Ilyn Payne's hut without much effort. It was indeed as dirty and messy as the legends said, and people around were very careful when passing by. In my mind, Ilyn Pyne was a terrible character.

Quietly approaching the hut, I heard the rustling sound of knives being sharpened inside. It is said that Ser Ilyn Payne often sharpened his greatsword in the hut. After Ned died, his Valyrian greatsword Ice was once taken by Ilyn-Payne. Pyne was in charge for a while, before Tywin gifted him another sword, reforging Ice into the two swords of Oathkeeper and Widow's Howl.

When Arya walked to the door, the sound of grinding the giant sword stopped. He seemed to have heard Arya's footsteps. Shen Long and Arya exchanged glances. En's cabin.
