Lady Melisandre said, "Lord Magic Mountain, after the oracle ceremony is complete, you need to ask Gendry Clegane in person. ”

Demon Mountain snorted, noncommittal.

Gendry's porcelain brain, which was as solid as iron, would not have thought of the oracle to guide him, but he had been instructed by some 'master'.

Who is this 'master'?

"Lady Melisandre, what is your idea of going to Bishop Heavenly Father?"

"Bernie came to me and told me about the oracle's plan. ”

"Who told Bernie?"

"Gendry Baratheon I. ”

"Gendry?"

"Yes, sir. ”

The 'initiators' of this oracle guidance ritual ultimately came down to Gendry: Gendry told Bernie, and Bernie told Melisandre that Melisandre had the Father's Bishop.

Of course, Gendry himself would never have come up with such an ingenious strategy!

So, who exactly pointed out Gendry?

You have to find out this guy who is a little interesting, if you don't have loyalty, then cultivate his loyalty; the way to cultivate loyalty in the magic mountain is very simple, what this guy cares about, use what to drive him, and then make the best use of his talents.

This is the end of the conversation between the Magic Mountain and Melisandre. The Magic Mountain didn't ask anymore, and Melisandre said no more.

Arrene Martell rode to the left side of the Magic Mountain.

"Magic Mountain, what oracle guidance ceremony are we going to attend?"

The courtiers, like Arrene Martell, were confused.

Demon Mountain looked at Arlene's beautiful face and shook his head.

"You wouldn't know?" Arlene's voice sharpened, and she was too surprised to believe it.

The king will not tell the Prime Minister the very important oracle guidance that the king has received, the oracle guidance that is so important that he will go to the Great Church of Baylor to hold a great ceremony?!

This is unconscionable.

There are two major forces in the palace: courtiers and military generals.

Among the courtiers, those who have power are the important ministers of the imperial court.

Among the important ministers of the Imperial Palace, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Maritime Affairs, the Minister of Intelligence, the Minister of Finance, the Great Commander, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Garrison, they were all from the Magic Mountain.

The only one who is not the Imperial Minister of the Demon Mountain Department is only one - Baron Sven, the captain of the Royal Guard.

And the military generals - all of them are people from the Magic Mountain - the Magic Mountain is the Minister of Military Affairs, who is in charge of the military power of the whole country. Even the captain of the King's Megaru Guard, Bolon, was a vassal of the Magic Mountain, and Boron and Podrick knelt down together in front of the Magic Mountain and took an oath of allegiance.

On the battlefield, every time the Magic Mountain subdues a nobleman and a knight, it is not the king who makes the other party kneel down and swear allegiance, but himself.

The nobles of the Valley, the power of the Crab Claw Peninsula, the natives of the Bright Moon Mountains, the Legion of the Unsullied, the tens of thousands of soldiers of Dorne, the Earl of Gübler in the Iron Islands, the Murton family of Female Springs...... All the conquered military forces, who knelt and swore allegiance, were the Magic Mountain himself, not the king.

The power of the Magic Mountain in and outside the palace is far above Gendry Baratheon I, and Gendry's oracle guidance did not even tell the Magic Mountain?!

This simply does not make sense.

In public and private, the king will not hide from the prime minister.

Arrene Martell couldn't figure out why?

Was the blacksmith king too stupid, or could the oracle guide itself not be able to say to anyone else outside of the Baelor Chapel?

"Magic Mountain, does the King have other ideas?" Alyne Martell reminded the Magic Mountain in a low voice.

"No!" the Magic Mountain was simple and straightforward.

Alen looked at the team, the generals of the Cregan were armored and sword-keeping, and the guards were in a column of cavalry, at least five hundred men. Of the rest of the aristocratic forces, the most powerful were only a few knights and a dozen soldiers. No matter how powerful the Kingsguard was loyal to the King, he only had six swords, two of which were still the swords of the Magic Mountain, and the commander-in-chief of the King's Landing garrison was Rover Spaser, the brother-in-law of the Magic Mountain. The captain of the golden-robed guard guarding the king is Bolon, this guy is also from the Magic Mountain, and this official position that can make oil and water is also given to him by the Magic Mountain.

No matter how careful she was with her malicious speculation, Alen could not think of any power that the king could have to threaten the Magic Mountain.

That means that there is no need to worry about the 'oracle guidance' ritual that will be unfavorable to the Demon Mountain, although everyone doesn't know what kind of oracle it will be?

Alynn Martell cares about the Magic Mountain, and her current state is like a sensitive girl in love. As soon as there is something unusual, I think a lot, and I think very extremely.

The procession moved forward, and the king's procession in front of them had entered the Rainbow Square of the Great Sanctuary of Baylor. In the middle of the square, the tall monument of the great statue of Baylor was visible to the people at the back of the long procession. The stele was as tall as a sharp sword pointing straight into the sky.

A horse came galloping.

"Your Majesty the Prime Minister, His Majesty has an order for you to come forward quickly. ”

"Good!" replied the Magic Mountain.

The herald turned his horse's head and galloped back.

"Arya Stark, Combe Warner, Landon Garr, Anga Clegane, and Podrick Pine, you are your personal guards, escorting your Lordship. ”

"No, I don't. Demon Mountain stared at Aliann and said lightly.

The Red Smoke Beast stepped forward, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Arya Stark immediately patted his horse to follow.

The mountain glanced back, allowing Arya Stark to follow.

The two galloped side by side, past the King's Guard, and together they came to the King.

The king reined in his horse.

"Father, please dismount?" Gendry Clegane, in a place with few people, directly called the Magic Mountain his father. On private occasions, he even called Moshan his father.

The Red Smoke Beast descended from the Magic Mountain.

The archbishop sang aloud, and saw the maiden door of the Basilica of Baylor open, and a group of white-robed nuns came out and fluttered towards him.

There were more than a hundred white-robed nuns, and they came to the magic mountain and lined up in front of the king, and the young bishop walked out of the queue, and she took the holy oil in the hand of a monk who had been waiting here for a long time: "Your Majesty, please dismount." ”

Gendry Clegane I dismounted.

"Please dismount all the courtiers and generals. The young bishop said to the monks as if singing.

As a result, the Imperial Guards, the Royal Guards, the Great Wise Men, the Imperial Ministers, and the Court Scholars dismounted one after another at the request of the monks.

The young bishop held the holy oil in one hand, stretched out a finger, and put the holy oil on the king's forehead, and then on the forehead of the magic mountain.

Then the Bishop walked up to the nuns, turned around, and faced the king and the prime minister: "In the name of the seven gods...... she said as if singing, and with gestures with her hands, more than a hundred nuns sang a beautiful song of praise—in the name of God, I sing, and the oracle gives me guidance......

In the melodious hymn of praise, more than 100 nuns parted on both sides to make way for a passage in the middle, with the Maiden Bishop and the Virgin Bishop leading the way, and the Archbishop and the Magic Mountain and Gendry following behind the Maiden and the Virgin Bishop.

Behind the king's prime minister are bishops of warriors, bishops of blacksmiths, bishops of old women, bishops of the heavenly father, and bishops of strangers...... Everyone rushed in, the nuns on both sides kept singing, and the procession began to change in an orderly manner, forming two neat vertical rows, left and right, one on each side, accompanied by the king and the prime minister.

Walking to the Father's Gate, the nuns' procession separated again, forming several passages to enter, each with a different gate - all the women could not enter through the Father's Gate, the noble ladies had to enter the Sanctuary through the Maiden's Gate, the noble ladies could only enter the Sanctuary through the Virgin's Gate, the generals and soldiers would enter the Sanctuary through the Warrior's Gate, and the Stranger Gate was only for the Silent Sisters, and no one else could enter or leave......

*

The king and the magic mountain entered through the Father's Gate under the leadership of the archbishop, passed through the seven gates, received seven baptisms of holy oil, listened to the hymns of the nuns seven times, and finally came to the altar of the Great Church of the Seven Stars, where they stood facing the statue of the seven gods......

Soon, the ladies and gentlemen, the courtiers, the generals, and the guards and knights entered the Seven Stars Great Sanctuary from different gates...... And in the Rainbow Pond Square, there are also many believers of the Seven Gods, and many more believers of the Seven Gods are still on their way to the Holy Church—the ringing of the holy bell seven times, that is, the call for the believers to come to the Holy Church to participate in the oracle ceremony......

The Magic Mountain and Gendry I stood in front of the Seven Sacred Statues, the monks wearing the masks of the Seven Gods brought seven candles for the King and the Prime Minister, the Archbishop walked up to the altar and began to pray generously and heroically, and the monks and nuns who stood in a circle on the edge of the altar responded with a chorus, which gave the Magic Mountain a feeling, and he remembered the chorus in his previous life: one lead singer, the rest was a chorus.

In the midst of the hymns, masked nuns came and lit the candles held by the king and the prime minister, and then, guided by the nuns, the king in front and the prime minister behind, lit candles for each idol and closed her eyes and silently recited a prayer that no one could hear.

*

Jon Targaryen, as the only representative of the North, also entered the Great Sanctuary of the Seven Gods. He was at the back of the noble group, and he was one of the last nobles to enter the Templar, and through the gap in the crowd, he could barely see Gendry Baratheon I wearing a crown kneeling before the Statue of the Seven Gods with the Prime Minister Moshan, and the Bishop of the Heavenly Father standing next to the archbishop, whispering something. Jon was of medium stature, forcing him to go around to the other side, farther away, but with a clear view of the King and the Mountain.

Jon watched as a masked nun gently removed the crown from the king's head with her eyes closed, and the crown was passed to the archbishop by the nuns standing in a row, who placed the king's crown on the altar of the seven gods. Jon was confused, he didn't understand what it was, he had never seen an oracle ritual to remove the king's crown.

Jon sensed the strangeness of the atmosphere, he looked at the nobles nearby, he saw that the nobles' faces were all shocked, he didn't understand what had just happened. The moment he entered, the Bishop of Heavenly Father had just finished speaking, and the aftermath was still echoing in the hall, the whole audience was quiet, the atmosphere was strange, and the faces of the courtiers and generals were shocked, but Jon Targaryen did not know why......

Then he saw the Archbishop take another crown from the maiden bishop's hand, a crown larger than the one that Gendry I had taken just now, made of pure gold, with a dragon hovering on the right and a unicorn standing on the left...... Jon realized something, and his eyes widened in disbelief...... He saw Gendry Baratheon I stand up and walk up to the templar, standing on the right side of the archbishop...... He saw Gendry's gaze calm and calm, the young man who had just sat on the Iron Throne looked around the quiet Hall of the Seven Gods, his gaze sweeping over the shocked courtiers and generals......

"Ladies and Counts, Knights, Knights, Ladies and Ladies and Ladies and Gentlemen...... The Great Wise Men of the Fire Warlock Guild, the Bishops...... The oracle guidance that Bishop Heavenly Father received in my dreams was exactly the same as the oracle guidance I received in my dreams, we were all guided by the same oracle, that is, Lord Gregor Clegane, who killed the Night King in Winterfell in the north and saved the fate of the human race, was the son of the Seven Gods, he was the messenger of God, he was the reincarnation of Asalor Ahai, the messenger of light, he was the Chosen One who led our kingdom to strength, wealth, and civilization, and he was our king, the worthy king of the Iron Throne......"

Jon Targaryen's eyes widened in disbelief, he suspected that he had misheard, he subconsciously looked at the people around him, and found that everyone was just as surprised and unbelievable as he was, many knights, ladies and ladies opened their mouths and widened their eyes, and they forgot to breathe together......

Gendry Baratheon I continued to speak, his words incoherent and staccato that thundered in Jon's ears and shocked him to the extreme: "Gendry Baratheon I is giving up the Iron Throne...... In the name of God...... The Magic Mountain will be the king of Westeros...... This is the will of the seven gods...... How is this possible...... This is the private persecution of the Magic Mountain...... Or is it really the will of the seven gods...... It's unbelievable...... Crowns of crowns, it takes a long time to cast this crown...... How is this possible...... Conspiracy or betrayal......"

Gendry seemed to be reciting a textbook: "If you are a farmer, you will plant the land, if you are a fisherman, you will catch more fish, if you are a blacksmith, you will forge the best weapons, and if you are the chosen one, you will lead us to become stronger and more fearless...... That's what I'm going to say to you...... I'm a blacksmith, I can't read, I can't even write a signature to sign an order...... I am not the chosen king of the seven gods...... My name is Gendry, and my real identity is nothing more than an illegitimate child...... In accordance with the oracle's guidance, I voluntarily and wholeheartedly abdicate the throne, and sincerely request my most respected father, the Minister of War of the Seven Kingdoms, the Prime Minister, the Duke of Dragonstone, the Guardian of the West, the Guardian of the North, the Guardian of the East, the Lord of Castelmetabec Hall and the New Village of Crega, the King of the Crab Claw Peninsula, the Red Hand of the Scorching People, and the leader of the natives of the Bright Moon Mountains, Lord Gregor Clegane, to be the King of the Seven Kingdoms......"

Jon Targaryen, in shock, blurred some of Gendry's words, and heard some of Gendry's words clearly, he was always in absolute shock...... The oracle guided the Demon Mountain to wear the crown and ascend to the Iron Throne...... This is too surprising and unbelievable......

The archbishop slowly walked down the altar, the seven-star holy crown above his head was inlaid with rare treasures, every step he took, shining, as if the starlight in the sky had fallen on the top of his head, the archbishop's white fat hands held a very large crown, when this crown was worn on the top of the kneeling magic mountain, this crown still seemed smaller......

Then, in Jon's suffocating feeling, the nun's praise song rang out, and the seven archbishops stepped forward together and poured holy oil on the forehead, shoulders, and crown of the magic mountain...... The nobles and ladies of the whole hall seemed to be suffocated, and all the generals and courtiers stood like stone sculptures, leaving the melodious and high-pitched hymns of nuns to fly out of the hall and fly out far away......

The moment the mountain stood up with the crown on, the bell on the top of the main tower of the Baelor Cathedral rang again, and the loud bell seemed to ring in Jon's ears, covering all of Jon's hearing and senses at once, and the nun's hymns disappeared from Jon's ears......
