43 Cohesion of Faith and Death
The early morning of the barracks was bustling with the neighing of horses, the sound of teams of soldiers walking, the sound of weapons colliding with training, and the shouting of the caravans accompanying the army in the distance.
In the main tent of the army, the slightly balding King Stannis was sitting alone behind a desk at the moment, writing a letter.
Ignoring the familiar sounds outside, his eyes were focused, pausing from time to time to meditate for a moment.
He's writing a letter to the Duke of the North.
However, the arrival of a middle-aged man dressed plainly and with a big beard interrupted his original thoughts.
Although the quill shook did not stop, Stannis was a little brain-blocked, but on the outside, he still kept his head down, calm and silent.
After the bearded Davos lifted the curtain of the tent, he came to Stannis, called out to His Majesty, and then reported in a low voice: "I just heard the report of the spies, Magic Mountain. Clegane died suddenly in a small village called Will in the Riverlands. ”
"Sudden death?"
Stannis's writing, which had not stopped, stopped. Looking sideways at the onion knight who was relied on by him, he didn't speak, but his expression was already obvious.
"It's not a disease, it's said to have been pierced through the head by a spear that fell from the sky."
Davos said, subconsciously pinching the talisman hanging around his neck, "The people of the Brotherhood without Flags grabbed some of the subordinates of the Magic Mountain, and it is said that in addition to the spear, a strange man wearing a black robe appeared at that time, and the soul of the Magic Mountain was hooked away, much like ...... Strangers. ”
"Souls? Stranger? Stannis tugged at the corners of his mouth, about to say something ridiculous, but suddenly he frowned at the thought of what had happened in the camp recently.
Seeing this, Davos thought for a moment, and then spoke again: "It is very strange that our soldiers also reportedly saw a strange man wrapped in black robes appear in the barracks last night, and then many war horses began to bark. Come to think of it, Your Majesty, you should have heard that noise. ”
Stannis nodded, "But that doesn't mean anything......"
"No......" Davos shook his head, "More than a dozen soldiers who were originally seriously injured died last night, but I found that the barracks didn't seem so cold. ”
If this had been said in the past, Stannis would have reprimanded this powerful subordinate on the spot, but what happened during this time made him quietly change his concept of life.
Dozens of soldiers who died inexplicably, the extremely cold barracks, and the changes in the drunkard red-robed monk in the Flagless Brotherhood, and now there is a magic mountain that died suddenly......
Everything completely turned the first half of his life upside down.
His brows furrowed tightly, and after a moment, Stannis suddenly said, "You go to the north and deliver a letter for me." ”
"This one?"
Davos asked, looking at the letter that Stannis was about to write.
"No," Stannis shook his head, "this one by the way." Come to me in the afternoon, I haven't started writing yet. ”
……
The whole world changed with the change of the seven-pointed star medal in Shire's body, and a silent change quietly surfaced.
However, for the person concerned, he is only vaguely aware of all this now, and it is not very intuitive.
The North, the Great Wall, and the King's Tower.
Charles still sat in his chair, frowning as he studied the questions.
Experiments have shown that that the unique transformation cannot be performed in the Overworld, probably because there is no belief in the Seven Gods in the Overworld.
Or is it because the alien god is repelled by some force?
Charles didn't understand.
But another wonderful operation can continue there.
At this moment, Charles is "looking inward" and watching the seven-pointed star in his body, which is very magical.
The sun's seven-pointed star is the name he gave -
A golden sun is burning in the inner ring of the golden seven-pointed star, and the whole is constantly rotating, and there are even two black and white moons around it.
And then it all revolved around his spirit again.
It looks like the universe in a memory of a past life.
If this alone is true, there is nothing to see, but as the seven-pointed star of the sun continues to rotate, a little colorful light around it is born from the dark void and merges into the burning sun.
Charles felt that because of these powers, the medal was getting stronger.
It's the power of faith, and he's sure of it.
Westeros' myriad forces of faith are converging from all directions.
And this convergence, even in another world, is unhindered.
Charles guessed that this was probably due to the Ice and Fire Ring on his hand.
Since this ring can open the door, it means that it is an important node that shuttles between the two worlds.
At the same time, another strange phenomenon is also very noticeable.
Underneath the medal, there has always been a shadow of the scales in a trance.
And the shadow of the balance did not stop after absorbing the soul that originally existed in the charr's body, because the gray meteor seemed to be endless, endless.
At this moment, I saw gray meteor-like points of light like the power of faith, inexplicably emerging from the depths of the surrounding darkness, constantly merging into the balance, and then rushing out from both ends of the scale, into the black and white two satellites.
Charles's will was able to enter the black and white satellite, so he knew very well that the black was the dark space that had been, and the white one was the new space that was born.
There are more than 100,000 souls in the black space, and at this moment, a small part of them has quietly transferred to the white space, and the balance seems to be the operating mechanism responsible for distribution.
As for the gray streamers that inexplicably appeared around the scales, they were the souls of the creatures of Westeros—not just people.
This is clear to the Charr through the Eye of Fate.
At the same time, he also vaguely knew how these souls, as well as countless faith powers, appeared in his body.
It seems to be the result of the Order of the Seven Pointed Stars automatically answering the prayers of the faithful.
Shire's entry into this state of inward-looking is to figure out what exactly is the mechanism of this wonderful operation.
However, there was no hurry in this matter, and he was attracted by another question at the moment.
So how does the golden balance tell the difference between a soul entering the black world and the white world?
Charles couldn't figure it out.
However, when he looked at the phantom of the scale, he could faintly feel that he seemed to be able to customize the rules of the scale......
"What is this? Did I really become God? ”
"Gaze" gaze revolves around the magical scale, and Charles mutters.
The Golden Balance is a legendary artifact he harvested from the forces of evil.
It should be called the Underworld Scale, which is a special treasure for the Egyptian gods of the underworld to weigh the soul and then decide on the reincarnation of the soul.
And now it becomes a filter that distributes souls to "heaven" and "hell".
Aware of this, Charles felt a little pity.
The black and white moons had nothing but pure color, and there was no difference between the soul and the soul after entering it.
However, if memory serves, Heaven among the evil forces seems to be able to extract all kinds of spiritual power from countless human souls. Hell also seems to be able to benefit from torturing souls, or giving birth to demons.
"After the shuttle door is finished, I should go over there to refer to it."
Looking at the two rudimentary worlds, Charles made a decision.
Although moving Heaven and Hell and the like to it didn't really help him in terms of personal strength, this weakness should only be temporary. Charles thought it would be interesting if this magical operation continued.
Thinking of this, he ignored the situation for a while, and looked at the "revolutionary" seven-pointed star medallion, ready to blend in and learn about its automatic operation.
It's just that at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the study outside.
Charles froze for a moment, and then immediately withdrew from this inward-looking state.
He had told him not to bother him if there was nothing important.
So since there was a knock on the door, then it is estimated that something happened.
