Chapter 62, The Scarlet Wedding
"Where's your ship?"
On the night when the sun set and the moon rose and the wind was blowing, didn't Robert think about spending the night at the women's ward and returning to camp with the others from the city of Kohor.
During the day, the red-robed priest arrived, hoping to convince Arthur of Lachlo, and Heinri, Lane, and Maria had already told Robert, Ed, and Francis.
In exchange for three ships for Arthur's belief in the Lord of Light and the Red-robed Monk, Robert didn't think there was anything wrong with it, even if Arthur had said that the priest of Rahlo was weird, he didn't care at all.
Because this kid has no faith.
It's just that he promised to believe in the Lord of Light, didn't cheat money, and didn't lose a piece of meat?
In Robert's mind, God was not important at all, and he even felt that the so-called faith, that is, the curse mantra, would be mentioned......
Moreover, with him, a powerful emperor, the priests of the King of Light are all chickens and dogs!
Although bastards are always supporting others in battle, strengthening others, Robert does not think that his own species will be weaker than those of the Red God Priests.
Even if there is any danger, he believes that Arthur will return without danger!
As soon as this domineering fat man heard that the bald red-robed monk would send three ships, he immediately wanted to get it, as for Arthur's reluctance to convert to Rahlo and become a believer?
When they saw the ship, they were forcibly requisitioned in the name of the emperor, and the mere priests dared to say more?
The light of the fire shone on the faces of the bald red-robed monk, the red-haired priestess, and the black-haired priestess.
Prime Minister Ed, the victim Arthur, Hein Rikai who is concerned about whether he can benefit from it, and the lively Ryan, Varian, Barristan, Anne, Francis, Maria, and Auguste are all there.
Hearing the emperor's words, the bald red-robed monk replied truthfully: "Valantis." ”
Robert: "So we're going south?"
"Yes. The bald red-robed monk looked at Arthur, "If Your Excellency serves my lord, you will surely become the son of light of the supreme priest of this position!"
Robert snorted: "He wants to return to Westeros with me to quell the rebellion, and he can believe in the Lord of Light, but he will not stay in Essos." ”
The bald red-robed monk nodded: "Of course." ”
"Well, Arthur, believe in the Lord of Light. Robert turned to the bastard.
The red-haired priestess frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this is too hasty, we should perform the ritual in the temple." ”
Being decided by someone else's faith, the depressed Arthur wants to hit someone!
Compared to his unhappiness, the bald red-robed monk, the red-haired priestess, and the black-haired priestess were very confident that he would convert to the Lord of Light, Rahlo, and become a child of light.
Entering the temple of Rahlo in the city of Kohor overnight, Arthur listened like a puppet to the bald red-robed monk as he sang the great voice of the Lord of Light.
"Now that I've converted to the Lord of Light, will you give me some books where I can learn spells?" said Hainricht as the Son of Light of Rahlo, and he immediately asked the red-robed priests for benefits.
The priests sensed perfunctory in him.
But the young men who had nothing to do were tolerant of the fact that they believed in Rahlo for the sake of profit, and who held the light of God.
In fact, during the ritual, Arthur felt a strange force trying to leave a special mark on his soul.
This power that is trying to slowly imprint the soul belongs to Rahlo, the Lord of Light?
Weird is weird, but the strength is not enough, the quantity is not large, and the quality is not pure.
Knowing that the ritual was over, the sigil did not even imprint the soul of his coexistences with the Light.
If it was really Rahlo, the Lord of Light, was his power too weak?
However, this is just the right way to ensure your own safety and avoid messy things such as snatching and soul control.
He was also about to observe and teach the young son of light, and when he heard that he was going to learn spells, the bald red-robed monk shook his head lightly and refused: "No, child, you can't be in a hurry to learn spells, you have to pray to the great Lord of Light, Rahlo, first." ”
Pray to God?
Arthur had read too many Western fantasy online texts in his previous life, and immediately thought of those gods who were magnificent and righteous on the surface, but were actually dark and evil.
Believe in Lahllo, the Lord of Light?
As a child born and raised in China where man is determined to conquer the heavens and receives a materialist education, it is impossible to believe in any god in this life!
Don't give spell books?
Don't teach magic?
Then bye-bye.
Do you really think I want to stay in the temple for a long time, and then I will be conspired again?
However, Arthur left the temple, and the bald red-robed monk, the red-haired priestess, and the black-haired priestess followed him out of the city to their camp.
"Why are you following me?"
If it weren't for the coexistence of the Holy Light with his own soul, he would have been imprinted with an unknown mark, and Arthur really didn't have the slightest affection for them.
The bald red-robed monk: "Child, you need the right guidance. ”
Arthur didn't have the slightest expression on his face, and couldn't help sneering in his heart: "Then you are whatever." ”
As she walked, the red-haired priestess suddenly spoke, "Actually, it's enough for us to have only one person follow you." ”
The black-haired priestess stopped and said to Arthur, "I can teach you magic." ”
All right.
This is really a temptation that Arthur can't ignore.
"From tonight?"
The black-haired priestess nodded solemnly: "But learning magic requires talent, and although you are a child of light, you may not have a talent for magic, so I think it's best for you to learn magic arts." ”
You need to believe in the divine magic that Rahlo, the Lord of Light, can use, and I have mastered the Holy Light, and it is only a matter of time before I can study the priest's spell, and I will only learn it if I am stupid.
Arthur said firmly, "I want to learn magic!"
The bald-headed red-robed monk shook his head and said, "Penelope, you are in a bit of a hurry, so it is not beneficial." ”
"You know the night is coming, time is pressing. The black-haired priestess Penelope said in a deep voice.
Too lazy to care why the bald guy stopped him, Arthur said directly: "I didn't ask you for anything before, but now I have it, teach me magic!"
Penelope nodded.
Red-haired priestess: "Arthur, you really should go to the east of Asha, where your relatives are located, and where the witchcraft and sorcery are the most intact. ”
Arthur: "Sounds appealing, but not right now. ”
Develop the skills of the Light, learn magic, quell the civil strife in Westeros, develop armaments, and deal with the Strangers!
"You keep mentioning that there are my relatives east of Asha, are you from there?"
"Yes, I'm from Asha. The red-haired priestess nodded, "Do you want to know what other relatives your mother has? ”
Is this going to be a warm offensive against me all the time?
For the red-haired priestess who always asked him to go east of Asha, Arthur, who was completely paranoid, was very resistant: "Don't use it for the time being, I want to go back to Westeros and solve all the crises!"
Hearing this, the red-haired priestess, who had been ignored several times, looked very disappointed: "Okay. ”
Penelope said, "Actually, you can bring Lorien to him." ”
"She still has tribes to take care of, and she can't leave. The red-haired priestess sighed.
Arthur didn't want to ask at all who Lorien was.
For those who don't know each other in the maternal line, they can meet after the stranger is resolved, but not by Priest Rahlo.
Who knows if they have a conspiracy behind it?
Hurrying back to the camp, worried about the young man, Anne was taking over the vigil and waiting for him to return: "I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow. ”
Arthur shrugged his shoulders and said, "Things went well, there were no surprises, so I came back." ”
This was actually the code word he had agreed with Anne, because he was afraid of the danger of believing in the Lord of Light, so he specially activated it.
"That's good. Anne smiled, then looked at the bald red-robed monk, the red-haired priestess, and Penelope and asked, "You're going to stay at camp tonight?"
The bald red-robed monk nodded: "Yes." ”
Anne: "I'm afraid you'll have to squeeze into the tents of the soldiers or the servants." ”
...... To be continued......
