Chapter 238: The Disciple Deserves to Die
The hearings were held as scheduled, and the common people were held high in the eyes of the past, accompanied by attendants and chariots and horses, and the extravagant young masters were brought to the attention of the trainee monks or nuns armed with wooden sticks and wattles one after another.
In the noisy and crowded square, each of the accused was escorted to a wooden platform erected in the central square of Baylor Cathedral.
Faced with the vicious and hostile gaze that came from all directions, they quickly unloaded their resistance, collapsed to their knees in front of the Templar, and began to repent of their sins with trembling bodies.
Although most of the charges were not very serious, the people listened very carefully and did not miss any opportunity to boo.
The bishops of the jury gave these men the opportunity to repent in the face of the Seven Gods, and after the stripping procession, these people were stripped of their nobility until their families redeemed their reprimanded souls and freedom from the Seven Gods with enough money.
This was the first time in two hundred years that there had been such a large-scale demonstration of the nobles, and the people were eagerly anticipating those bastards, and they were quickly escorted into the streets by the monks, many of whom had already prepared the leaves and saliva.
It is always exciting to be the messenger of the Seven Gods, to insult these criminals in the light and in the open.
However, when the large group of Cults escorted these nobles in groups through the streets and alleys of King's Landing, it still gave a great shock to the people of King's Landing.
The people were still cowardly at first, but with the help of fanatics and sparrows, many of them couldn't help but join the spitting team.
When it is announced that even Queen Mother Cersei Lannister has committed a shameful crime, and that she will go to the church to confess her sins to the Seven Gods and then choose a day to go through a procession of repentance.
The atmosphere of the people instantly rose to the limit.
The sound of the mountain and the tsunami erupted in the Basilica of Baylor, the center of the Seven Gods and the residence of the archbishop.
The pent-up populace vented their long-standing grievances, a member of the royal family was stripped and paraded, and the frank and direct action of the Church of the Seven conveyed a strong conviction to the entire people of King's Landing.
Under the seven gods, everyone is equal.
Archbishop Sparrow had been standing in the middle of the square, enjoying the praise and worship of the believers barefoot, and although his face seemed indifferent, the corners of his mouth could not help but flow a smile that could not be hidden.
What made him even more proud was that he had just received the news that the little ghost king in the Red Keep had rushed to the Sanctuary not far from the temple with a group of Kingsguard and Red Robe Guards, and found the exposed people gathered here, and was directly frightened and rolled back to his Iron Throne.
The hemp finch was extremely happy at the moment.
It was as if he had really become the only legitimate spokesperson of the Seven Gods in the mortal world at this moment.
The Sparrows began to think about how to manage and control the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, a million-inhabited city, according to God's will, starting with their thoughts and continuing with their lives.
However, the Sparrow had just envisioned the time when the entire population of King's Landing was about to become fanatical believers under his bishop's seat.
A basin of merciless cold water instantly poured on his cheeks.
A soldier of the Order of the Seven Gods who had arrived from King's Landing East City hurriedly pushed through the crowd and whispered something in his ear before the archbishop's face suddenly retracted.
The moment the sparrow left the central podium and stepped down under the escort of nuns and monks.
There was no trace of kindness on his face, and under his benevolent eyebrows was a pair of gloomy and fierce lights that could not be seen clearly.
While the sparrows were holding a grand ceremony in Cathedral Square, announcing the rise of the theocracy of the Church in King's Landing and throughout Westeros, Lynn was hiding in the courtyard and counting the gold coins.
In fact, the two girls who are really counting the money are Milan and Britney, and Lynn is just in charge of drinking and watching the excitement there, although her face is also beaming, but this is not the first time she has seen such a scene, so she has not lost her temper at all.
What made Lynn curious was the former Imperial Guard Old Ba, the fearless "Sermi Barristan also sat on the steps under the eaves with an indifferent face, looking up and drinking, drinking very happily, but his eyes did not stop for a moment on the obsessive golden dragon.
Lynn, who couldn't help but be curious, took the initiative to touch Lao Ba with a wine glass, leaning on a pillar next to him, "Lao Ba, you don't seem to be interested in this thing?"
For Lynn's unpretentious way of asking as the master, Lao Ba was very satisfied, with a smile on his wrinkled face, and the corners of his mouth inlaid with silver teeth were open.
"The first time I saw this thing, I was very excited, but when I saw it more, I felt panicked, I couldn't eat it, and I would only fill in my troubles when I saw it. ”
"How many times have you seen this?"
Lao Ba continued to laugh, "This is the fourth time I have seen tens of thousands of golden dragons, the earliest time was in the most heavily guarded treasury of the Red Keep, but now even rats are not willing to go there, the huge treasures left by the Targaryen family have been defeated by the successive kings and only a few dusty golden armors remain."
This second time, I accompanied King Robert to borrow it in the iron vault of Braavos's most important bank. It's really rich, and although it's only a tip of the treasury, it seems to contain half of the world's wealth, which is really eye-opening. ”
Lao Ba reminisced about the narration of the graceful wandering, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth was never greater, and it was obvious that he was indeed not surprised by the tempting gold.
It was a thoughtful knight uncle, Lynn thought, and then gave him another toast and asked, "What about the third time." ”
"Hehe, the third time, you can't guess it, my lord, and if I don't say it, no one can think of it. ”
"Oh?" Lynn hooked the corners of her mouth, "and guess what?"
Lao Ba smiled confidently, "Guess, sir." ”
As soon as Lao Ba finished speaking, Lynn immediately spit out two words, fearless" Sermi Barristan's face instantly became frightened like a ghost, and the hand holding the wine bottle shook irrepressibly twice and put it on hold, and he looked up at Lynn with a gentle smile in disbelief.
"My lord, this ...... How did you know that there were so many golden dragons in the church?"
Lynn sighed, looked at the several large boxes of treasures that had been turned over in the courtyard, and said slowly: "There has never been a right to speak for no reason, when the divine power is prosperous, the church will naturally become rich, although the church has lost its arms and rights under the suppression of the Targaryen family, but the wealth it has accumulated has not disappeared for no reason."
I guess it's because the church is in King's Landing, and you, as the Kingsguard, follow the king's side, and you can go to a very limited place, except for the Red Keep in King's Landing, I'm afraid only the church can take this money, like these in front of you......
When the Sparrow was still a broken missionary, and then the missionary business in the war-torn land, it was easy to accumulate so much wealth in a few years, and a church of the Seven Gods with many believers really had the motivation to accumulate wealth, I am afraid that in a few years, the wealth of about a million can still be deceived from the hands of poor untouchables. ”
Lynn's tirade made Lao Ba stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he let out a breath of turbidity and scolded, "Disciples should die!"
