CHAPTER XXXVIII

After the blacksmith finished sighing, another person approached the three of them and wondered: "These words are indeed ridiculous, we Baigang people don't care about them when they hear them, but why do they cause panic up and down Horwood City?"

The sudden inquiry made everyone feel vigilant, and everyone turned their eyes to the man in the cloak again.

This time, the man in the cloak just kept a cold face and stopped talking.

A few men and women who didn't get an answer looked at each other, and it stands to reason that witchcraft is such a mysterious thing. It is too far away from ordinary people, even if many people in the north are very devout to the belief in the old gods, but the expectation of the miracles of the old gods is very low, and it is more just to vent the fear of the unattainable gods in their hearts.

If the Old Gods had magical agents in the world, I am afraid that even the followers of the Old Gods were the first to stand up and express doubts.

This is the biggest difference between the believers of the gods in Westeros and the believers of Essos.

The cloaked man said no more, but the blacksmith woman and the others around her began to talk enthusiastically.

Several people gossiped and disagreed, and finally, before the hanging began, they came to the general conclusion that the last battle between Horwood City and the Essos must have discovered something incredible, but it did not attract people's attention at the time, and this time it was only after the ram Menhud that he came to his senses.

Even more gossip talked about the young lord in the mansion of the lord of White Harbor, and speculated about why the lord would not prevent the inquisitor from making such a decisive decision, despite his past friendship.

As long as they start to talk about the secrets of the nobles, the commoners become unscrupulous, too, it has rained in the city for three days, everyone stays at home and suffocates it, and this year's income is not bad, in White Harbor City, everyone can now find a good job, earn a little money, there are too few leisure time and entertainment activities, the huge square is full of people, huddled together and do not talk about some topics that they dare not talk about on weekdays, it is a waste of rare opportunities.

Hood was escorted to the stage from the avenue in the center of the crowd by a group of soldiers in full armor, and the sun finally came out of the gray mist, red and bright without any heat, but the water beads hanging from the branches around the square began to fall down with a clatter, this kind of water droplets that were a mixture of ice and water, the most cold, accidentally fell into the neck collar, it felt like being burned by fire.

Lynn didn't go to watch the execution, sat on the golden pig and walked the dragon back in the sky with the golden dragon and the small gold bar, the golden pig couldn't run fast, compared to the speed of the small gold bar for hundreds of meters, it was simply crawling, so Lynn's dragon walking became very unpleasant, the little gold bar often flew in front of the golden pig excited and excited, and Lynn and the golden pig almost chased after it with small broken steps.

This is more like being walked by a real dragon by his own master, the small gold bar is still too small, and Lynn can't experience the taste of the dragon, and there is no fun of walking the dragon, so Lynn canceled this unpleasant flight with a black face.

When I returned, I found that the speed of the golden pig and the small gold bar was much slower than when I went, and I looked lazy and didn't want to go back.

It was easy to ride the golden pig to land from the sky on the balcony of the mansion, and Lynn's gloomy face almost scared Alfred, the old butler who had been waiting for a long time with his servants.

Seeing that the lord began to point to the nose of the golden pig and the little gold bar and lecture one by one, the old butler cautiously stepped forward and said to Lynn: "Young master, many people have come to the mansion to intercede with Lord Hood. ”

Lynn looked away and said fiercely, "Who are they?"

"There are a few nobles in White Harbor City, and ...... A few of the first soldiers of the Gripen Legion, and Kompany also came. ”

Lynn clenched his fists, "The nobles of White Harbor? Hmph, these people are not here to test my style, no matter what the outcome of the matter, they are all good people, after that guy was injured, where is he serving now? As for Kompany, ...... fuck, does this guy have a swollen tongue? When did he dare to inquire about the affairs of government affairs, and sent someone to tell him to do his business well, and if he dared to keep his eyes on these things that were not there, be careful that I sent someone to confiscate all the ships that were parked in the harbor if he could not do business. ”

"Yes, sir, I'll send someone. ”

Lynn looked at the two monster heads lying at his feet honestly, resting his head on the instep of his two feet, and sighed, "The hanging is about to begin, right?"

The old butler pondered for a moment, looked at the space and calculated the time, and said, "My lord, it is estimated that it is almost there." ”

Lynn frowned, let the old butler wave off the people, looked up at the bright red in the sky and said: " A person has a person's fate, Hood must die, this is not only my will, but also his own thoughts, the news he brought is something that the people of the north are not willing to accept, I pressed the news of the miracles brought by the people of Essos from the other side of the Narrow Sea, this is not just worried that the people of the north will live in fear from now on, I want to wait and see, the gods of Essos have come to the door, naked in front of mortals to show miracles, this Westeros continent has stood for thousands of years, I don't believe that the gods of this continent will be indifferent to this, the three-eyed crow Those evil things can last forever, borrowing to bewitch mortals and bring disaster to the power of Westeros, I can still understand, but the ram door is a door-to-door provocation, I don't believe that the gods really have to do the ass.

I don't know if the Drowning God is unique to the Westeros continent, but the Drowning God Cult turned against Essos and aided the abuse, this is an indisputable fact, no matter what my Lynn is, it is the legitimacy of the Westeros continent, if the act of burning the god wood forest offends the old gods in the north, then I don't limit the beliefs of the people here, I don't believe that the old gods will be willing to give up their faith base. ”

"It is said that the gods are not prosperous, but the people are wise, and the gods spread their faith by the believers in the world, and if the gods do not take care of their own believers, the believers will naturally abandon them. ”

Lynn was stunned, "Who said that?" ”

The old butler is a product of the system, and it is impossible for him to have any understanding of the gods and ghosts of this world.

Alfred bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency, this is still the case with Priest Melisandre, whom you invited to be the head of the Academy. ”

Lynn touched her chin and said, "Don't chew your tongue from there, she is the most devout believer of the Lord of Light, if the Lord of Light's faith grows in the Westeros continent, won't she benefit the most? But then again, I asked a professional to consult about this matter, why didn't I think of this girl? No, I have to find her." Melisandre is overseeing it at the New College?"

"No, she lives in the Red Courtyard in White Harbor City. ”

Lynn was puzzled and said, "Oh? I haven't heard of the name of this shop." ”

As soon as Lynn finished speaking, a crisp woman's voice suddenly came from the stone door at the entrance of the balcony. "It's a brothel!"
