295 Rescue Organizations
What happened?
This question was not limited to Varys, and after receiving the letter, the members of the Royal Council in King's Landing were also very puzzled by it.
"Didn't you go to the Iron Islands?" The old prime minister groaned and touched his short beard, and muttered, "Why did you suddenly capture the daughter of a sea king?" ”
"I don't think it's possible."
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Metz. Tyrrell's gaze never took off the letter in his hand, his hand trembling a little, but his words were full of suspicion, "The daughter of the Sea King is only a little over ten years old, right?" How could such a young child leave Braavos and be captured by Lan Li? Not to mention that Lan Li has been on a trip to Braavos these days? ”
Even though he knew that Lan Li was the messenger of the gods, his means were amazing, but Mace. Tyrelll thinks it's still an exaggeration.
If that person really had the ability, why didn't he just take the Sea King of Braavos prisoner?
Or other enemy high-level will do.
In that case, there is no suspense that this war will be won.
"I think he must have recognized the wrong person." He said firmly.
"With all due respect, my lord, that's what you said last time." Scholar Pysel has been catching a bit of a cold lately, and his voice is even muffled.
At this time, there were only three of them at the Imperial Conference Table.
The other four, the intelligence director Varys was arrested by Lan Li, and there is no suitable person to succeed him, and Lan Li went to the Iron Islands, and he is no more.
Stannis, the Lord of the Seas, had been fighting at sea, and Barristan, the captain of the Kingsguard, had been ordered by Robert to lead his army north to support.
Robert, who was the king, did not participate in the meeting at the moment, but was patrolling the city defenses - in fact, if it were not for the people who stopped him, King Robert, who was already fat, would even have planned to "take the royal conquest himself".
Just because the meeting was sparsely attended didn't mean it wasn't important, and they had planned to discuss diplomacy with some of the more friendly forces in the trading city-states, but now they were caught all by the letter flying from a castle in the West.
"Last time, Lord Lanli captured Viserys, and we thought it was impossible, but the truth is that he did capture Viserys." University Scholar Paisher said.
This not very serious white-bearded old man is currently quite supportive of Lan Li, mainly because he is older, but he still wants to live a few more years, and if he can't find someone else in this matter, Lan Li seems to be able to help.
However, he has no brains to hold Mace. Tyrelll thought he was still sane.
"This time is different from the last time."
"How can that be different?" The scholar asked rhetorically.
"Last time he went overseas, this time he didn't leave Westeros at all."
"Distance is not a problem for the gods at all."
"How do you know it's not a problem?"
"Of course I know that the gods can do anything!"
"Then we don't have to worry about war, let the gods of heaven expel all those enemies!"
"It's really ridiculous for your lord to say this, don't you know that it is impossible for the gods in heaven to pay attention to such a trivial matter?"
"You just said Lan Li......"
"I'll just say that Lord Lan Li ......"
……
They were arguing over there, and the old Prime Minister Jon was arguing over there. Erin was looking at another letter.
There were actually two letters sent by Lan Li with the raven, one of which was written about the captivity, and the other was the one in his hand, proposing to rescue the refugees.
It clearly states that a rescue organization should be created to protect and help refugees reach King's Landing in the Riverlands, and to dispose of the dead bodies on the way to avoid the plague.
It is possible to cooperate with the church, because the church has the financial resources and the church base is located in Westeros, and at the same time, it can call on the more and more refugees in King's Landing to join in, and provide wages and food, which must be very attractive.
But the question is, can the church really help with this?
The old prime minister was skeptical.
Despite Lan Li's special "status", the Church of the Seven in Westeros is made up of people, and these people, despite claiming to be pious servants of the gods, are unsure how devout they really are to the gods.
The old prime minister knew a lot about the greedy past.
He also understands that the current archbishop is supported by the Blue Rites, but it is difficult to say how much control the archbishop has over the church that has not been in office for a long time-
Although St. Belle's Cathedral is nominally the base of the Church, in fact the real base of the Church has always been in the Old Town of Riverland, both in ancient times and in the present day.
The Old Town not only has a college for monks and nuns, but also many patriarchs of the church, and even holds most of the church's property.
And if the old prime minister remembers correctly, the new archbishop did not have an old town background, and his original background was just an ordinary monk.
He was a little unoptimistic about the contents of the letter, but he didn't intend to refuse—if the church could really support them in forming this "relief organization", then it would be a good thing to share some of the burden of resettlement refugees in King's Landing.
So the old prime minister happily sent to the knight Tob, who had been marked on the letter, and gave him a piece of consent for the creation of the organization.
At this time, Tob was very depressed in the Red Keep, because his master had left him in King's Landing instead of taking him to the Iron Islands, but when he learned about it, he immediately cheered up.
Just excited, he was also a little panicked.
"The master told me to contact the church to prepare for this, but I, but I haven't done anything like this."
Secretly, Tobu communicates with his friend Sandor about it, "Am I going to mess up?" Will the people in the church cooperate with me? ”
"Look at your virtue, with your master's support, what are you afraid of?"
The hound said, "Those priests have great mouths, but it's okay, we have swords." ”
……
The friend's "comfort" did not calm Tob's anxiety at all, but he was very surprised that things were going.
When I went to St. Belle's Cathedral to find the archbishop who didn't know his name to talk about it, the archbishop was stunned for a moment at first, but he happily agreed to cooperate, and he was quite positive!
Or is he a little excited?
After several days of talking to the archbishop about how to form a rescue organization, Tobu was deeply moved by the archbishop in front of him, who he heard was very rogue and thought that the current archbishop was really very sympathetic to the people, pious in faith, and kind in temperament was not at all different from the fat archbishop who was splashed with feces in the previous generation.
However, it was evident that he could not imagine that the archbishop had such a positive attitude, not because of kindness, but because it was clearly related to something else.
That was the thing that Lan Li had communicated with him privately before he left Jun - to restore the Order's armament.
And this so-called rescue organization doesn't seem to think too much about it, but he, the archbishop, looks at it very immediately.
This is obviously another form of poor people's assembly!
