Chapter 0714: Red God Prophecy: Dragon Battle
While the Night King prayed to the god of cold in Hearth, Davos Seaworth and Melisandre rode together into Winterfell.
Shortly after the Dragonrider returned to Winterfell, Davos and Melisandre arrived.
It was late at night, and everyone rested except for the patrolling Cleganes and Winterfell Sentinels.
The Magic Mountain lives in tall, comfortable rooms in the Stark family's main castle.
It took him an hour to fly from Fireplace City to Winterfell City, and the cold air of the northern night was like a sword, making both the dragon and him feel the power of the cold. Soon after his return, the sheep thieves ate goats in large quantities in the winter town, and a hundred-man warrior of the Scorching Department was responsible for providing the sheep thieves with delicate and delicious food. The financial resources are not strong enough to feed an adult dragon like a sheep thief. And Moshan has not fallen asleep after entering the comfortable and warm guest room after dinner.
"Father, Lord Davos Seaworth, asks to see me. Adopted son Comm Warner said outside the door. Magic Mountain has not yet officially held an adoption ceremony for Com Warner.
"Let him in. The highly recognizable voice of the Magic Mountain sounded.
Davos Seaworth came in, and his face was very bad, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. His clothes were dirty and torn, as if he had fled for months.
"What's going on?" Magic Mountain asked in a deep voice, "Has the Shireen Army returned safely?" "Demon Mountain didn't ask Her Majesty Shireen Baratheon, there are a lot of kings in a kingdom now, and he cares about legions that can fight.
Davos Seaworth had not yet answered, but there was a knock at the door just in time, just once, and then the voice of his adopted son, Comm Warner: "Father, Lady Melisandre asks to see you." βγ
Magic Mountain glanced at Davos and turned his head to look out the door: "Please let her in." "He used the word "concession" to Davos, and the word "to Melisandre.
The door opened, and Lady Melisandre stood in the gate. She is different from Davos, who is as depressed as a refugee, she still has big red sleeves, her skin is shining, her eyes are moving, her figure is still the same, her beauty is still the same, and she is as clean and tidy as a noblewoman.
Melisandre walked in, in stark contrast to Davos's devastated and dirty clothes.
Davos said in a snort: "Her Majesty Shireen, Queen Mother Celis, Shireen's legion, and my family guards have all been wiped out. Davos said in a slumped voice. His gaze was hostile, and he looked directly at Melisandre.
"What the hell happened to me? After the city of the hearth was broken, Lao Tzu burned the ghouls to protect your safe retreat. Magic Mountain's voice became gruff, and he slowly stood up, his eyes sweeping over Davos and Melisandre's faces. Although the number of Shireen's army is small, they are all veterans who have fought many times, and veterans are too precious for war.
"Fire, fire. Melisandre's voice was crisp and nice, like a bird singing, "Tell Lord Magic Mountain, only me and Master Davos escaped, and the rest were burned to death by fire." Those who jumped into the Sue River, even if they knew how to water, died from freezing. β
The cold of the night in the north is like a knife, and the cold injuries of those who fall into the water are even sharper than knives.
Melisandre spoke as she walked to the brazier, as if she were in her own home. Her white and graceful palm swept against the brazier, and the coals in the brazier burned.
Davos Seaworth's gaze was firmly fixed on Melisandre's body, his gaze was like a sword, momentary and full of hatred.
"Lord Magic Mountain, three big ships caught fire at the same time, the fire was fierce and unstoppable, this is obviously man-made arson. Davos stared at Melisandre, but the words were addressed to the Magic Mountain. His voice was filled with anger.
"Davos, why don't you just tell the Commander-in-Chief of the Magic Mountain that the fire was caused by Melisandre?"
"If it's not you, who else could it be?" Davos's voice grew hoarse.
"You saw me set it on fire?" Melisandre said lightly.
"Two days ago, you were on the dock and what did you say to Her Majesty the Queen Mother? When the Queen Mother got on the boat, it was as if she was seriously injured and in great pain. What did you talk about with Queen Mother Selyse? You are bent on sacrificing Her Majesty Shireen to the Red God, because Her Majesty Shireen has royal blood, can let you see the prophecy of the future, and increase your magical power, and your femme fatale, I have long known it. Who else but you can make three large ships catch fire at the same time, and the fire is so fierce that even on the water, the big ships are quickly burned. β
"I sacrifice Her Majesty Shireen, and I don't have to burn the entire Shireen army. Lord Davos Seaworth. Melisandre snorted. She stretched out her hands and wrapped them in the flames, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Celis Florent is even more eager to sacrifice Shireen, burn Shireen, and she will set herself up as king." β
Moshan's face became ugly, he needed the truth, and he didn't want to listen to the mutual accusations between the two.
Davos sneered, "Evil wizards have cultivated evil believers, and the evil of Selyse is also due to you. This fire killed ......"
The mountain stretched out his hand to Davos and waved it, interrupting him, motioning for him to shut up first, Davos Seaworth shut up, but his eyes were still fixed on Melisandre's face, and the mountain looked at Davos, and the prime minister wanted to draw his sword and slash at Melisandre's beautiful face.
"Melisandre, did you put the fire?" the magic mountain went straight to the point.
"It's not me, Magic Mountain. Melisandre turned to look at the Magic Mountain, the pupils of her eyes turning the color of flames, dancing with an eerie glow.
"Who's that?" Magic Mountain's voice was full of threats and warnings.
"Celise Florent. β
"Can Cyriss set three big ships on fire at the same time?"
"She can!"
"She has the power of fire magic?"
"She doesn't have it, but she has the ability to make the post-party people pour fire oil on the ship. She is the queen mother, and she is also the leader of the post-party, she is also the leader of the faithful, and when she gives an order, who will not obey the post-party people?"
The Magic Mountain was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "Melisandre, why did Celis burn three ships. β
"Sacrificing oneself to the Red God is the highest honor for the Red God's faithful. β
"Sacrifice everyone when it's safe to retreat back to Winterfell? Demon Mountain's voice raised slightly. He hated to hear such vain rhetoric above all.
Lady Melisandre stood up, walked to the corner, and poured herself a glass of red wine, which she shook slightly: "Celis understands that the red god is the only true god, but Stannis Baratheon is not the only true king. β
"How could she suddenly understand?"
"Lord Magic Mountain, you killed Stannis with your own hands, and the only true king will not be killed by you. The moment the Battle of the Blackwater River ended, I already knew that the person I was following was wrong, that Stannis was the False King. I didn't know Stannis was a puppet king until you killed him. β
"Stannis is a false king, and the red god is a false god. Davos Seaworth couldn't help it, and said sharply.
"That's why Celise Florent set fire to three ships. Stannis is not the true king of the fight against the Wraiths, and she cannot accept this reality. She began to doubt the authenticity of the Red God, but the revelation that the Red God gave us was never wrong in the slightest, but we ourselves misinterpreted it. Melisandre looked at Davos calmly. The entire Shireen munitions, Shireen Baratheon did not escape, many people are innocent, but she doesn't seem to have the slightest guilt and sadness, this woman's heart is made of black iron!
"The night is long, the world is sinister, and the Lord of Light is the only true God. Melisandre said as if singing.
Choke!
Davos couldn't take it anymore, and he drew his sword, but his hands were shaking.
Melisandre turned and sat down in front of the brazier, "Davos, you're going to kill me, and there's a chance when you ride red smoke with me." "It's a lie, she has a shadow killer to protect her, and Seworth dares to do it, and she is already dead. She has no shortage of royal blood, and Mance Rader is her secret blood bank.
"I want Lord Demon Mountain to bring you to justice, and you deserve to be hanged. β
"Davos, I didn't set the fire, and of course, you didn't set the fire. You are not guilty, and I am not guilty. β
"Their deaths are all because of your belief in the Red God. Davos pointed at Melisandre, "Lord Magic Mountain, if you don't kill Melisandre, please allow me to leave." β
"Fighting the Strange Spirits requires everyone. Demon Mountain said coldly, "Davos, if you dare to disobey the order and leave without permission, the horn of wind fury will no longer exist. β
Cape Windfury was the domain of Davos, where his wife, fifth youngest son, family relatives, and vassals were also there.
If he disobeys his orders and leaves, the Demon Mountain will slaughter the Wind Furyhorn.
What the hell is this, all the people of Cape Windfury are innocent!
Davos stared angrily at the Magic Mountain, who was also looking at him, and he could see that what the Magic Mountain said was true.
Devil Mountain is such a person, who he said he was going to slaughter, don't doubt him.
Choke!
Davos sheathed his sword and turned to walk out, his back and steps filled with rage.
Bang!
He slammed the door shut.
But the voice of the magic mountain chased after him: "Davos, the fire was not set by Lady Melisandre, I believe her, although only the two of you survived, I also believe that you did not put it." β
Davos suffocated!
He walked faster!
*
"I need the truth of the matter. Melisandre. Demon Mountain said in a deep voice.
"Cylise wants me to convince you to be loyal to Her Majesty Shireen, to help them reclaim the Iron Throne, and then kill you to avenge Stannis Baratheon. I told Celis that you are the reincarnation of Azor Ahai, the son of God, and the only true king against the demons. She can't accept the truth that the Lord of Light is the only true king, and that Stannis, who believes in the Lord of Light, is a false king. She's always been extreme, my lord. Melisandre handed the glass to the Mountain, who ignored it.
"You didn't see the prophecy?"
"Before Cyris's fire, the Red God didn't give me any revelations. I can't ask the Red God to give me the timely revelation I want, when the Red God will prophesy and give me hints, it's all in the hands of the Red God, and God does not change by the will of his servants. β
"Davos won't believe you have nothing to do with this fire!"
"Cylise lives by faith and dies by faith. β
"Shireen Baratheon and a lot of people are innocent. Demon Mountain said in a deep voice. He looked at Melisandre: "Your lack of reverence for life makes me feel that you are not alone. β
"Demon Mountain, I'm not from Westeros, I'm not from 20,000 miles away to come here to fight against the strange ghosts with all my might, and I don't fight for power and golden dragons. The Red God dwells in the heavens, and I am the embodiment of the Red God's will. If you want me to leave when the fight against the Stranger is over, I will leave immediately. You will put me to death, and I will accept the noose. Melisandre looked at the Magic Mountain and handed the glass to the Mountain again.
The Magic Mountain still ignored it.
"Magic Mountain, your navy needs Lord Davos Seaworth, I suggest you send him to White Harbor, Seagull Town, and let him organize a fleet of the North and the Vale, responsible for the transportation of Dragon Crystal weapons and ores on Dragonstone Island, as well as the sea transportation of supplies from the South. I'm a little surprised, the current Queen Mother Cersei seems to have changed her hostile tactics towards the North, I don't know why?Duchess Jenny should arrive in King's Landing soon, we need Janine's raven letter. β
Melisandre handed the glass to the mountain again.
The mountain stared at Melisandre, and after a moment, he took the glass.
"Melisandre, I need you to look at the flames and see where Daenerys Targaryen has gone in Essos. I don't want Daenerys to attack King's Landing and the Night King to attack Winterfell at the same time. β
"Okay, if the Red God answers my request, we'll be able to see what Daenerys is doing. Melisandre gently lowered her glass, and the mountain drank the red wine from her glass.
The two of them came to the brazier, Melisandre took out of her pocket and sprinkled it into the brazier, her lips opened and closed slightly without a sound, and the flames began to surge and spin like waves, and soon there was a vision.
To the surprise of the two, they saw the Iron Islands.
"That's Pike Island. "The voice of the magic mountain is strange.
They wanted to see Daenerys Targaryen, her legions and dragons, her naval fleet and the Dothraki cavalry, but in the flames, only the Iron Islands were visible.
"What is this revelation?" MΓ©lisandre wondered as she looked at the Magic Mountain, "Daenerys' first attack was not King's Landing, but the Iron Islands?"
The Magic Mountain was silent.
It's so strange that Melisandre asks for Daenerys' revelation, and the Red God responds, only to see the Iron Islands emerge from the flames.
Why?
What does this mean?!
Melisandre always misinterpreted, but the Red God's revelation was accurate, and the Magic Mountain had no doubts about that.
"Daenerys is attacking the Iron Islands, but her legion is on the continent of Essos. β
"She has dragons. Demon Mountain said in a deep voice.
With the sheep thief, he knew how easy it was to get from one place to another, and it would take him only a day to get from the north to Dorne, while it would take the soldiers two months.
"Daenerys will ride the dragon to attack the Iron Islands first?" Melisandre couldn't believe it.
"The Iron Islands have iron ore, they have iron people, they have fleets, and Daenerys' naval commanders-in-chief are Asha Greyjoy and Theon Greyjoy. The Greyjoys have been lords of the Iron Islands, and the current Governor of the Iron Islands, Earl Guber, is a former vassal of the Greyjoys. β
"She helped the Greyjoy family get back the Iron Isles first?"
"It is very likely that the main fleet of the Iron Islands has already set off for the port of King's Landing, the remaining fleet of the Iron Islands is weak, as soon as Asha and Daenerys arrive, the Iron People of the Iron Islands will inevitably rise up and respond, and we cannot lose control of the Iron Islands. β
"Daenerys will dispatch dragons. Melisandre understood.
"We also have dragons. Moshan's face was solemn.
But in fact, the Demon Mountain does not want to fight Daenerys Dragon, because the Night King is in the Hearthside City and will attack Winterwinter at any time. With the presence of dragons, it is the greatest threat and constraint to the Night King. The Night King's army of ghouls is the greatest danger to the Terrans, but in the face of dragon flames, they are vulnerable, and no matter how many they are, they are all humanoid candles.
"Daenerys' three dragons will not be opponents of the sheep thief, the sheep thief is two hundred and fifty-one years old, and Daenerys's little dragon is only four years old. Melisandre said.
"Dragon War, you can't avoid getting hurt. Daenerys has a numerical advantage, she is also a real dragon knight, and I am a pseudo-dragon knight, and the safest way at the moment is to negotiate peace. Otherwise, we will be vulnerable to the enemy. β
"Negotiate peace, Demon Mountain, send me to Daenerys, and I'll do my best to convince her to fight the Stranger. β
"You're not the best person. β
"Who?"
"Jon Snow. β
"Jon?"
"Yes, there is no better person than him. β
Melisandre couldn't see why Jon was the best person to negotiate peace.
"What if we can't make a peace?"
"Then fight! Drive Daenerys' legion into the sea and kill her three dragons. β
"The dragon who killed her?" "Melisandre's heart suddenly jumped, and an ominous thought came to her, "Magic Mountain, the Night King can resurrect any dead man, animal, magical creature. He can also resurrect dragons. β
