Chapter 339, the Holy Light Rises
"Does Your Highness want a Lightbringer who can destroy the Strangers, drive away the darkness, and help the Lord of Light put an end to this war?"
Hearing the old doctor's inquiry, Ryan shook his head, looked at the red sword blank that was constantly emitting high temperatures and was like a scorching sun, and said with a wry smile: "Although I would like to get a heirloom sword forged from Valyrian steel, this legendary hero's lightbringer is not suitable for me, and I can't use it. β
"Your Majesty, what about you, Your Highness Varian?"
Receiving the answer, Marvin looked at the Fat Emperor and Ryan's brother again.
Robert looked at the Lightbringer with some depression and said, "It's too light, and this sword may not exert any power for me." β
Varian shrugged his shoulders and said, "To be honest, I really want this hero's red sword, but I'm not Atholl Yahai reborn, and I don't have a wife who has a cool blade, so I guess I won't be able to use it." β
"In that case......
Malvin's old fat face suddenly showed an unfathomable expression: "His Majesty Robert and His Highnesses Ryan and Varian all think that the Lightbringer belongs to the rebirth of Azar Ahai?"
"Does the Doctor know who is the prophesied Asea Reborn?" asked Robb.
"Yes, I know. Malwyn smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty Daenerys is the prophesied prince and the rebirth of Atholl Ahai. β
"You may not know that in ancient Valyria, the word prince also means princess. β
"Because, dragons are not male or female!"
"The ancient book of Asha prophesied that after the long summer, when the stars wept blood, Azor Yahai would be reborn in the land of smoke and salt, and awaken the demon dragon in the stone. β
"In the Great Sea of Grass in Essos, Queen Daenerys lost her husband, Drogo Kao, and while burning his body, she walked into the fire with a petrified dragon egg.
It was then that the red comet appeared in the night sky!
Then, everyone knows that Queen Daenerys has awakened the constitution of the Unburner and hatched a dragon that has disappeared for a thousand years!"
"Also, Queen Daenerys was born in the storm and was born on Dragonstone!"
"Dragonstone Island was formed by an active volcanic eruption, which corresponds to the smoke of the Smoke and Salt Land, and the island located at the exit of Blackwater Bay, east of the Howling Strait, corresponds to the salt of the Smoke and Salt Land!"
"At the same time, with the three conditions of stars crying blood, the land of smoke and salt, and awakening the demon dragon, Queen Daenerys is the prophesied Asur Ahai reborn!"
Listen to what the Dragon Queen's bachelor said.
Robert, Ryan, Varian, Robb, and others looked at each other.
The expressionless Stannis didn't know what he was thinking, but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes, clearly believing the old doctor's words.
Penelope smirked.
Melisandre was completely stunned.
Gendry, who couldn't stand the terrifying temperature of the sword blank, asked, "Then how are we going to cool the blade?"
Oh, yes.
It is not enough to know who is the prophesied Asea reborn.
You must cool down the sword body and complete the Lightbringer!
For a moment, everyone looked at Marwin, the erudite magician who had interpreted the prophecy, and hoped that he would say how to cool the blade and complete the sword.
"Azar Ahai once cooled the Lightbringer with the life of his wife. β
Melisandre also says it inspires us... So... The solution is already obvious... We must choose to sacrifice ......"
"I wouldn't agree. β
As an idealist, the dragon queen obviously still can't accept it.
Penelope said: "But we don't have any other way, and we don't have much time. β
"Then who are we going to sacrifice?" Ryan had a bad premonition in his heart.
Marvin closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "Actually, Your Highness already has a candidate in mind, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Ryan suddenly took two steps back as if he had been hit hard, and Varian, who had the same heart as his eldest brother, immediately glared at the old doctor angrily, and asked in disbelief: "What do you mean... Arthur?!"
"What?" Robert immediately burst into a rage: "No!"
"I would never agree!"
A reckless, belligerent, irascible and temperamental, hedonistic Emperor, the Fat Emperor never cared much about his illegitimate children, and Ryan, Varian, Azhara, and Edric Storm were recognized because their mother had a powerful family to back them up.
And Arthur is different, his mother has no noble status, and it is lucky that because of Jon Arryn, she will bring back to the Red Keep to raise.
Even so, Robert still didn't care about this illegitimate child, and when he grew up a little more and became a wine boy, he only treated him as a subordinate, and even punished him for the slightest dissatisfaction.
If it weren't for Cersei launching a coup d'Γ©tat, Arthur desperately saving him, showing his outstanding fighting talent and awakening his extraordinary power, Robert really wouldn't have taken a second look.
Once you care about it, the martial faint monarch is actually very emotional.
Moreover, compared to Ryan, Varian, and Azhara who were recognized as illegitimate children because of their background, Arthur was the only son who was truly accepted by the Warrior Emperor!
does not fight for the throne, does not love power, is kind and benevolent, and works diligently......
To sacrifice him to complete the Lightbringer?
Robert can't do it!
Looking at Robert, who was extremely angry and about to lose control like a beast, the Dragon Queen also couldn't accept sacrificing her fiancΓ©'s life to fulfill a sword: "This... We've got to think about it in the long run......"
Melisandre frowned: "But the sword blank can't help but cool, and the Lightbringer can't wait." β
"The Lord of Light can't wait!"
"Wouldn't it be okay to leave the Lightbringer's sword blank first?" Ryan asked.
Hearing this, Gendry glanced at his master, Tob Mott, who had no intention of speaking, and shook his head, "Leaving it will affect the formation of the sword after it cools down." β
Malwyn said in a deep voice, "Perhaps, we should talk to His Highness Arthur." β
"Old fellow, you want to find death?!"
Hearing this, Robert picked up the hammer and tried to smash the short and fat old man to death, but Ryan and Varian both sanctuously pulled him to death.
Lorien muttered, "Probably... His Highness Arthur has a way to cool the Lightbringer......"
"After all, His Highness is a child of light!"
For the sake of the suffering people of Westeros, in order to help the Lord of Light achieve victory, and in order to end this war, everyone really has no choice but to choose a dead horse as a live horse doctor, pinning their hopes on Arthur, who was the first to awaken his extraordinary powers.
The dragon hovers over the Eagle's Nest.
Spit dragon flames and incinerate the resurrected dead in all directions.
The ghouls who climbed to the top of the mountain like a tide and tried to launch a crazy attack on Eagle's Nest City were finally eliminated under the bombardment of flames, holy light, and demons, so that the war could stop temporarily.
Get time off.
Arthur handed over the defense to Old Francis, Lothar, Arthas, Randolph and others, and when he heard that the Lightbringer had built a sword blank, everyone was worried about cooling the blade.
It was good news, but he felt as if the crowd didn't want him to know.
Doubting the return to Crescent Hall, Robert, Ryan, Varian, Daenerys, Stannis, and Robb all sat and drank together in silence with a preoccupied look.
"What's wrong?"
Arthur was puzzled and asked, "Isn't the Lightbringer almost finished, why are you still sad?"
Robert, Ryan, Daenerys, Stannis and others, who knew the inside story, did not speak.
This situation really baffled Arthur.
He looked at the priestess with whom he had the best relationship: "Penelope, Lorianne, can you tell me what the hell is going on?"
Lorien: "Your Highness, we are worried about the cooling of the Lightbringer's blade. β
Participating in the forging of the Hero's Red Sword, Arthur knew very well that this sword, which used dragon blood to fuse two materials, extraterrestrial meteorite and Valyrian steel, and blessed with the divine power of the Lord of Light, was not so easy to complete.
The power of fire and light is not difficult to instill into the sword blank during the forging process.
It can save the divine power of the Lord of Light.
Obviously not a mortal forging master can do it!
"Has Your Highness heard the story of the hero Athore Yahai?" asked Melisandre.
"Yes. Arthur nodded.
Melisandre said in a deep voice, "Then Your Highness should know very well how the hero Azor Yahai cooled the Lightbringer and then used this sword to drive away the darkness, right?"
"Sacrifice his wife's life?" Arthur frowned.
Melisandre nodded, "That's right, it's a crucial step!"
Arthur hated this practice of taking human life as inappropriate: "What if you don't sacrifice?"
"The Light Messenger Sword Blank that has been forged for so long will fall short!" the red-robed woman suddenly became solemn, "Does Your Highness want to ruin our chance to defeat the Cold God?"
Faced with such a large hat, Arthur shook his head speechlessly, "I just think there's a way to cool the blade of the Lightbringer. β
Daenerys' eyes lit up: "Do you really have any other way?"
"I need to see first. β
In this way, everyone immediately returned to the garden workshop where the legendary divine soldier was forged with Arthur.
The unfinished Lightbringer unleashed a terrifying temperature, even warming half of the Eagle's Nest, and the cold brought by the winds on the mountaintops was mostly dispelled.
The heat was so hot that those who approached the garden workshop were sweating.
But Arthur came over, but he only felt comfortable, and the fatigue of the great war was relieved in the warmth.
"Didn't you say that the sword blank has been laid, and it only needs to be cooled, why is it still burning and forging and beating the blade?"
Seeing that Tob Mott and Gendry were still busy in front of the furnace, looking at the sword blank that had been formed and filled with the power of fire and light, Arthur suddenly asked.
Ryan said: "The sword can already be cooled, but I didn't think of a way, we can only maintain the temperature and shape of the blade like this now, and become too much to affect the forming." β
Sense the power of the Hero's Red Sword.
Arthur felt that victory was at hand: "So, there are only two last steps left for the Lightbringer to appear?"
"Yes. Seeing the Son of Light looking at the sword blank with a thoughtful expression, Melisandre couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Marween thinks that Queen Daenerys is the reborn prince of Atholl Ahai, the prophesied prince, what does Your Highness think about this?"
"The Doctor thinks Daenerys is the reborn of Azar Ahai, the prophesied prince?"
Hearing the words of the red-robed woman, Arthur was not surprised at all.
After watching the TV series of A Song of Ice and Fire, and reading the comments and speculations of many readers, he knows very well that the Dragon Queen is the prince in the prophecy, and her song is a Song of Ice and Fire!
Of course, she said: "Daenerys was born in a storm on Dragonstone, corresponding to the prophecy of smoke and salt, and on the night of the appearance of the red comet celestial phenomenon, she hatched the real dragon without burning the fire, and also responded to the star's cry of blood and awakened the demon dragon. β
"So, Daenerys is the prophesied prince, Azor Ahai reborn. β
Melisandre shook her head: "Your Highness, we all believe that Queen Daenerys is the rebirth of Azar Ahai, but what we are focusing on now should be the Cooling Lightbringer. β
"Cool the Lightbringer?" Arthur smiled confidently, "It's not hard for me. β
"Do you have a way?"
Robert, Ryan, and Varian were all delighted.
Feeling the prince's gaze, Ambrosius nodded and stood up and said, "In the five months of sword casting, because the Light Messenger contains the divine power of the Lord of Light, His Highness is sure that the ordinary cooling and opening methods are ineffective, so he and I have discussed these issues specifically. β
"Wait a minute!"
Hearing the old wizard's words, Melisandre immediately asked, "Your Highness and the old gentleman guarantee that the cooling method you have come up with will be successful?"
Promise we won't fall short?"
Feeling the slightly worried gazes of Robert, Ryan, and Daenerys, Ambro Huston looked at the prince with a wry smile.
"Does a priestess have a 100% successful approach?" Arthur was a little depressed.
"Yes!" Melisandre: "It's a sacrifice!"
As an ardent believer in the Lord of Light, she received the oracle and believed only in the supreme and true God.
"How to sacrifice, to sacrifice whom?" Hearing this, Arthur asked in a cold voice with disgust, "Do you just take other people's lives seriously?"
Knowing that the Child of Light was angry, Melisandre didn't dare to go too far, and sighed and said, "It's not what Your Highness said, but the oracles, prophecies, and past deeds have inspired me.
And...
I believe that someone will understand the righteousness, in order to put an end to the chaos in Westeros, in order to destroy all the strangers and ghouls, to complete the Lightbringer to help the Lord of Light defeat the ancient gods, and to dispel the darkness that is trying to envelop the world.
This person...... It's you, Your Highness!"
"Me?"
Arthur was surprised when he heard this, but he thought that Asur Ahai sacrificed his wife's life to cool the Excalibur, and now as the fiancΓ© of Daenerys reborn by Asuor Ahai, he also awakened his extraordinary power to master the Holy Light.
No matter how you think about it, it seems reasonable......
"What?
Hearing the words of the red-robed woman, Anne, Selena, Gianna, Nymeria, Gawain, Lancelot, Ranmarok and others reacted more violently than Arthur, and they all drew their swords and glared at the priestess.
Ambrosius is more mana and ready to cast spells at any time.
"Calm me down!"
Seeing this, Ryan, Varian, Robb and the others hurriedly stopped them, and Ryan said, "Didn't Arthur say that he had a way to cool the Lightbringer?"
Possess the power of the Light.
Using the methods discussed with Ambrosius, Arthur was confident that he could succeed in cooling the Lightbringer and then making the Excalibur truly manifest.
"Please trust me. β
"I'm not sure, I'm not going to risk everyone's hopes!"
Hearing this, Marvin calmly asked, "What is Your Highness's solution?"
"I will engrave special runes on the blade, use holy light and magic to restrain energy, but do not limit the flame and light power in the sword, and then apply a permanent enchantment effect to ensure that the lightbringer will exert 100% power!"
"Since His Highness thinks it is okay. β
Malvin glanced at the Dragon Queen, who believed in her fiancΓ©.
"Then let's witness the birth of Excalibur!"
In the blink of an eye, pale golden holy light rose into the sky, shining on the top of the entire Bright Moon Mountain Range, intensifying the heat of the garden workshop and dispelling the cold air of the entire Eagle's Nest City, and the dark clouds were all dyed red like flames.
The divine power of the Hero's Red Sword has a special resonance with Arthur's holy light!
...... To be continued......
Happy Lantern Festival.
