Chapter 78 - Chapter 78 Surface Knife

Anyone like the Mountain would immediately come under the watchful eye of the Spider King upon entering King's Landing.

Not only the Mountain, but all other nobles who enter King's Landing will attract the attention of the little bird with eight claws.

Supervillains like the Mountain attract even more attention from Octopus Spider. Ever since he appeared in King's Landing, his every move, day and night, has been under the watchful eye of Octopus Spider.

Since you can't get rid of it, why bother being careful and discreet?

Wherever they appear in King's Landing or nearby, that's the absolute domain of the Eight-Clawed Spider Little Bird.

The Mountain was all too aware of the Eight-Legged Spider's power. Littlefinger, who had risen from tax collector in Gulltown to Master of Finance in King's Landing, hadn't been in the city for very long. Compared to Littlefinger, the Mountain knew the Eight-Legged Spider's strength even better.

Nevertheless, he was not afraid of the Spider finding out what he was doing in King's Landing.

First of all, the king is not in King's Landing; he has been gone for almost two months, and it will be at least three more months before he returns.

With Littlefinger's intelligence and Eight-Clawed Spider's cunning, they would never dare to come to the Western Territory to investigate and collect evidence, not to mention that no matter how the intelligence information is deduced, even if they know it in their hearts, it is only a 'guess'.

Those who dare to come to the West Frontier to seriously 'guess' things, whether it's Littlefinger or Octopus Spider, don't have that kind of guts.

Even if they wanted to report to higher authorities?

What are you reporting?

A guess?

And to whom should we report this?

With the king absent and a large number of courtiers absent, the Duke of Renly, who sat on the Iron Throne, was nothing more than a playboy. He was very handsome, well-dressed, and charming, and was deeply loved by noble ladies, but he was utterly useless.

Like Octopus, the Mountain also carefully considered and calculated, and his conclusion was that he was absolutely safe. Even if Octopus and Littlefinger shared intelligence, they couldn't do anything to the Mountain in King's Landing.

Besides, they wouldn't suspect the Mountain of doing anything behind it; they would only blame Lord Tywin Lannister.

Then everything will be fine, and you can rest easy.

Since it was Lord Tywin's order, they dared not come to the Westerlands to find evidence of his 'minting'. If Lord Tywin found out and sent the Mountain to give them a stern welcome, people would die.

The Golden Road runs from King's Landing's Casterly Rock through the Hundred Mile Mountain Range of Silverhall, where a massive boulder rolls down, unstoppable by human intervention.

Natural disasters and man-made calamities are unpredictable.

Since they dare not come to the Western Territory to investigate their'suspicions,' what can they do, and what would they dare to do, without any evidence?

They could only keep it to themselves, but could do nothing about it, nor dare they do anything.

Even Octopus Spider and Littlefinger combined had no idea that they had been outmaneuvered by a complete and utterly despised roughneck like the Mountain.

The Mountain wasn't afraid of Littlefinger or the Spider-Man. He knew Littlefinger's secret and the Spider-Man's secret. He was fully aware of the development of the characters and the evolution of events in this world. He could threaten Littlefinger and the Spider-Man, and even the slightest hint would send them into a state of panic, unable to sleep at night, carefully calculating and plotting. Yet, they couldn't threaten him at all.

In mystical terms, traversing the Demon Mountain is like having a green prophet. They know the past, the present, and can even foresee the future.

When the king returns to King's Landing, weary from his journey, he will be busy celebrating the Prime Minister's national tournament.

The only possibility is that Littlefinger can use this to sway Eddard Stark, getting that 'fool' Eddard Stark to use the law to fight the Lannisters of the West.

Even so, it will be at least six months from now.

Six months later, various conflicts and disputes began to erupt, and the major families began to bare their fangs, ready to tear each other apart. The little matter of Demon Mountain was no longer a big deal.

Before this, given Littlefinger's intelligence and Octopus's cunning, they wouldn't dare provoke Tywin, the lion, themselves. They'd likely find that at the slightest sign of trouble, Tywin would send someone to provoke them first, without them even needing to do so.

Therefore, after careful consideration and calculation, the Mountain was not afraid of the kidnapping incident in King's Landing.

As long as they leave King's Landing and aren't caught red-handed, everything will be fine.

The influence of the various power struggles and histories in the advanced civilization of the time-traveling dog over the past ten years, coupled with the forced shaping of a worldview that believes shamelessness and money are everything, has yielded some results.

The Mountain and his party moved quickly, and a few days later they entered the western territory, stepping into the lands under the jurisdiction of the Silver Hall Salot family. As the saying goes, "The dragon returns to the sea, and the tiger returns to the western mountains."

Counting the time, it's been exactly half a month since they left Clegane. In just two more days, they'll be able to return to Clegane.

Mo Shan relaxed and walked slowly.

He rode three horses by himself, taking turns, and the horses didn't seem tired at all.

The Mountain beckoned Master Tob Mott to come up and walk with him.

"Master Tob, you seem unhappy the whole way!"

Tob felt a sudden surge of tension. He knew all too well the Mountain's infamous reputation, having come into contact with countless soldiers, centurions, generals, and nobles; he was well aware of his many atrocities. In short, the giant beside him was a 400-pound monster, a monstrous demon.

Tob stammered a lie: "Sir Gregor, I am not unhappy."

"Oh, there's no need to lie, I can tell." The Mountain stared at Tob.

Tob was also a fierce man, quite tall, and had strong arm muscles from years of blacksmithing. He was also imposing, but in front of the Mountain, he was just a kid, completely lacking in power and presence.

"Uh, sir, you want a weapon made, and I will do my best to make it for you. Once the weapon is finished, I beg you to let me go back." Tob still stuttered, but it was much better than before.

"OK!"

Tob didn't believe the Mountain's words; according to rumors, not a single word the Mountain said was credible.

"Sir, is it true?"

Do you want me to swear an oath?

The Mountain's casual question had already robbed Tob of all courage. He awkwardly fell silent, his heart pounding, his mouth dry, and his limbs weak. The Mountain's question likely indicated that he was angry.

It wouldn't be surprising if the Mountain got angry and tore him apart.

Rumor has it that this demon dared to kill even his own father, sister, and two wives. What is a blacksmith from another family compared to him? In the eyes of the Demon Mountain, his life is nothing more than that of a cat or a dog.

The Mountain glanced at Tob and said seriously, "Alright, I swear, I swear on the honor of the Clegane family and in the name of the Seven, as long as Master Tob Mort forges the weapon I want, I will let him go home."

Tob glanced at the Mountain, whose expression seemed genuine.

Even the most audacious person wouldn't dare to make a false oath in the name of the Seven Gods!

Master Tob's mind was thus greatly calmed.

After making his oath, the Demon Mountain laughed and said, "Master Tob, I need you to forge a knife for me first."

"What kind of knife?"

Tob was a passionate researcher of weapons and armor. Without this passion, he could not have become the foremost blacksmith in Steel Street, revered as a master by his peers.

"Noodle knife!" Demon Mountain said with a smile.

Master Tob was stunned; it was the first time he had ever heard of a 'noodle knife'.
