Chapter 53
Looking at the worried little rose, Lynn smiled and said: "When the matter comes, you need to be bold, I want to see what kind of results will happen after I am bold, if I can get through it safely this time, my future road will be smooth sailing, rest assured, I have never been a blind person, isn't it a mausoleum? ”
"But there's still twenty percent!" exclaimed Little Rose.
Lynn touched the skull of Little Rose and said, "Eighty percent certainty is not enough? There is no such thing in the world as one hundred percent sure, and eight percent can be desperate." No matter how smooth things are, there is no certain probability of success. So, we're the real masters of this Westeros continent, no matter what's inside, aren't the undead aliens and the enchanted sons of the forest no match for humans? they're nothing!"
Little Rose was silent for a moment when she heard this, then took Lynn's arm and said, "Can I go in with you?" I don't want to wait for you here. ”
Lynn thought for a moment and finally said, "You and Lyanna Mormont are outside, I'll take Melisandre and Arya in first, it's completely safe inside, I'll send someone to pick you up." ”
"Skinny Monkey, leave twenty daring and attentive brothers to take care of Madame and Miss Lyanna. ”
"Hey, don't worry, sir. ”
Lynn had just comforted Little Rose, and when she heard that Lynn was going to leave her behind, the little bear girl wanted to speak unhappily, Lynn had a headache, and she smiled and took the lead before she spoke: " I asked you to stay outside for the time being, not just because I was worried that you would not be able to protect yourself, but because after all, you have the blood of the ancestors, and it is not a good thing for you to enter the tomb of the ancestor king recklessly, I am different, now I really don't have much respect for ghosts and gods, as for Arya, she is probably only interested in the god of a thousand faces now. ”
After settling the little rose and the little bear girl, Lynn did not hesitate, and led the crowd to walk in from the big iron gate that locked the mausoleum.
Climb the stairs.
There were about a dozen steps up the ladder, and a huge platform appeared in sight, and Han Niu and the dozen or so guards who came in at the beginning held torches from not far away to greet Lynn who had just come up from the steps.
—————
Two groups of torches come together to illuminate the entrance to the mausoleum.
It's more like a Western-style cemetery than a mausoleum.
There is a stone arch at the entrance of the cemetery, along the arch extends a long stone corridor, the corridor can see a piece of tombstones deep into the soil, between the tombstones, in the middle of the cemetery, you can vaguely see a tall stone statue that I don't know what is carved specifically, the stone statue is higher than the average adult, some have to hold a sword, some hold a spear, and the form is different.
"My lord, I checked everywhere and found nothing suspicious, except for the carved tombstones that were not clearly written everywhere, there was only one stone house locked by a stone gate in the whole cemetery. ”
Hanniu catches up with Lynn and tells Lynn what he has discovered.
Lynn looked down the corridor at her feet into the straight dark depths, where the milky halo she had seen outside the iron door flickered at the end of the corridor.
Lynn muttered, "Han Niu, the stone house you said is at the end of the corridor?"
"Yes, sir. Han Niu said.
Walking down the stone corridor, Lynn soon came to a large stone statue of a crouching mammoth with a huge iron sword on its knees and a crouching mammoth at its feet.
And the stone house that Han Niu said is behind the statue, like a cage guarded by the statue.
He looked at the red-robed woman Melisandre behind him, the tall red-robed woman was still very conspicuous even if she was mixed with the burly guards, slender and elegant, with a slender and concave and convex full figure, which made her walk gently and swaying, even in such a strange atmosphere of the cemetery, this red-faced woman seemed to have her own red light, which made people's eyes shine.
Lynn, the charismatic priestess who swore allegiance to her, said, "The statue of the Ancestor King, Melisandre, is this where you want to take me?"
Melisandre replied in a deep voice, with a pleasant accent of exoticism, "My lord, the Lord of Light has shown me a glimpse of the future through the Holy Fire, and I have told you that when winter comes, there will be a man of integrity who will have the courage to uphold the faith of the flaming heart. He will draw a flaming sword from the fire, and this sword is the Lightbringer, the one who drew the sword was Azar Ahai, and now you are his reincarnation, as a hero, you are missing a sword. ”
Lynn looked at the iron sword on the stone statue, looking confused.
Arya behind her stared at the red-robed girl with wide eyes at this time, and her heart rose up with anger at the witch in front of her, her dark eyes were like endless dark night in the dim cemetery: "Red-robed girl, if you talk nonsense again, I will cut out your tongue and make Lynn pull out the sword of the Ancestor King, which will arouse the anger of the ancestors and descendants of the entire northern realm, do you want to kill him?"
"Lynn, shrine maidens are not to be trusted. Arya added.
Lynn didn't speak for the first time, just looked at Melisandre expressionlessly, his pursed lips and cold eyes explained his attitude towards the red-robed woman, often at this time, even the strong knight would panic in front of him, but the red-robed woman didn't, she was not afraid, only retained a faint awe in her eyes.
"Pulling out the sword of the Ancestral King is no small feat, Melisandre, and now you need to prove your prophecy. ”
"As you wish, my beloved Lord of Light, son of Rahlo. The red-robed woman felt Lynn's toughness at the moment, she nodded slightly, took the torch from one of the guards beside her, and then slowly stepped forward and walked to the brazier next to the stone statue, and the torch ignited the grease wick in the brazier.
The flames in the brazier rose from the ground, and Melisandre stretched out her hands as white as clotted fat into the burning flames.
She is not afraid of fire.
Lynn was so close to the brazier that she could feel the temperature of the flames in the brazier, but Melisandre's white skin didn't seem to feel any burning sensation when she touched the flames, and Lynn didn't smell the smell of burnt flesh in the air.
It's not just a trick, Lynn is sure.
Melisandre shook her hand twice on the flame, her nimble fingers opening and closing and dancing with the leaping flames, and Lynn noticed that a wisp of blue powder fell into the flames under the cuffs of her red robe in the cuffs of her hand, and the faint flame shrunk at the bottom of the basin boiled like boiling water, almost overflowing from the large brazier.
As the fire flickered, Melisandre's voice rang out, "My lord, please watch the fire. ”
Everyone held their breath and stared, in the flames, everyone first saw the White Harbor City, the Great Wall of Desperation, and then the ice-covered Plug, countless black shadows gathered together outside the Great Wall of Desperation, a shadow knelt under the heart tree of a sacred forest, and the shadow gradually became clear, showing a burly man with a skin as pale as the moon, eyes as blue as a star, and skin as cold as ice.
Lynn was surprised, this was the figure of the Night King, the leader of the strange ghosts, but he was actually kneeling down to Yuliangmu.
What's going on?
It is well known that during the Dawn Era, the Children of the Forest used magic to defend themselves against the invasion of the Ancestors, piercing the dragon crystal into the hearts of the Ancestors to turn them into the first Wraith "Night King", and the "Night King" increased the number of Wraiths by transforming human baby boys into new Wraiths at the altar.
The Children of the Forest intended to use the Wraiths to fight against their ancestors, however, the Night King and all the Wraiths soon broke free from the control of the Sendrites and became a separate force.
But the sight of the flames in front of him almost broke Lynn's cognition.
"What's that, the legendary Wraith?" Arya glared at the flames, the first time she'd seen a blue-eyed monster in person.
"Yes!" Lynn's lips pursed, and he began to grind his teeth gently, his palms clenched tightly. This is a knee-jerk of anxiety in his heart, and it is also a habit. Everyone knew about it, but no one dared to remind him. "If I'm not mistaken, the kneeling shadow is probably the leader of the Wraiths, a self-proclaimed Lord of the Night. ”
"Ah," Arya Stark's eyes widened, "and why is he kneeling to the fishbeam?"
Lynn shook his head, "This is exactly what I am strange, in fact, after the betrayal of the stranger, it should have been against the children of the forest who worship the old gods for thousands of years, even if they suddenly come together again, the strangers with independent consciousness may kneel down to the fish beam wood that symbolizes the heart tree of the son of the forest, the son of the forest is weak, I am afraid that it is too late to hide from the stranger, how is this possible......"
Arya moved forward from behind Lynn, as close to the flames as she could, her green silk was scorched because it was too close to the flames, and Erya stared at the flames until her watery eyes felt a little dry, then she reached out and rubbed her eyes, and said to Lynn, "Lynn, look at the shadow kneeling on the branch of the fish beam, isn't there something moving?"
"Where?"
"The trunk on the right, count the third branch up. ”
Lynn followed Arya's guidance and moved his gaze upwards little by little, and sure enough, he found a trace of something wrong on the fish beam wood in the flame phantom, an abrupt small black dot was beating from time to time under the cover of the flaming red fish beam wood leaves.
It looked like something like a bird, because it would slowly open and close its wings for a while to keep it in balance as it jumped.
Soon, Lynn reacted, and exclaimed, "Three-eyed crow...... No, that's possible. ”
Lynn's mouth was a little trembling, if the Night King he saw before was just worshipping the Yuliang Wood that symbolized the old gods, representing that the Children of the Forest and the Night King, the leader of the strange ghosts, may still have some kind of unknown bond, then in front of him, the Yuliang Wood that the dignified Night King worshipped was actually the heart tree where the three-eyed crow lived, which was simply like frying water to make ice, which was incomprehensible.
A villain like the Night King, if he divides the camp with a nine-square grid, should belong to chaos and evil, there is no reason, no excuse, it is to slaughter all living creatures and destroy the world. The only private hobby outside of work is probably chasing and killing the Green Prophet.
The Night King has such a strong obsession with the Green Prophet, but now he kneels down to the Three-Eyed Crow, the representative of the Green Prophet, which is simply a divine twist that can only occur in the middle of the year.
"My beloved son of Rahlo, you need not doubt the message of the Lord of Light, the flames speak for themselves. Melisandre announced, her head slightly raised, "After all, he is the flaming heart, the true god of shadow and fire. ”
Lynn was silent, he wanted to say that he didn't believe in God at all, but when the words reached the corners of his mouth, he found that even in his own heart, he couldn't convince himself categorically.
Despite this, Lynn still shook his head and said, "I have always worshiped gods and ghosts, and there has never been a god in my world, even if my housekeeper was resurrected by the believers of the Lord of Light, even if you Melisandre served me as the most pious priestess of the Lord of Light, but in my heart, I still do not believe in any gods, including the Lord of Light."
When I was in King's Landing, I saw the archbishop of St. Belle Cathedral preaching to the faithful, saying that all justice and justice in the world come from the seven gods, but all the "justice and justice" I saw in King's Landing were not the seven gods, but man-made. Lady in the red robe, I don't believe in the Seven Gods, and I don't believe in your Lord of Light. But if I will respect your faith, and also respect what I see. ”
"My lord, you are the hero of the reincarnation of Azar Yahai, your true body is the Child of Fire, I have traveled half the world to the continent of Westeros, it is the will of the Lord of Light to find your existence, no matter what you think, I am willing to give everything and follow you. ”
Melisandre knelt down on one knee and continued, "The long night is long and sinister everywhere, great child of flame, only you can lead us to defeat the ancient gods, end the long night and winter, and let the light and the long summer come again, draw your sword." ”
The generosity of the red-robed priestess Melisandre left Arya Stark of the Old Gods Faith family on the side speechless to say.
Lynn took a deep breath and listened to the red-robed woman face the flames in the brazier, and said, "The Sword of the Ancestor King will be another lightbringer, don't you want to dispel the crow's snoop? ”
Lynn seemed to be convinced, he slowly walked towards the stone statue of the Ancestor King, his palm covered by silver-white steel armor curled slightly, and when he was about to touch the ancient long sword, a shaking suddenly came from the top of the stone statue in the pitch black.
Lynn subconsciously raised his head, and suddenly saw a small jet-black figure slowly poking his head down from the top of the Ancestor King, a pair of strange big eyes, like a snake and scorpion staring at Lynn in front of the stone statue, the figure split the corners of his mouth, and seemed to be smiling and smiling coldly.
"Be careful, sir. ”
The thin monkey, who was two steps behind Lynn, soon noticed the anomaly on the stone statue as well, and he shouted loudly and pounced with his sword.
However, at this moment, behind the onlookers in full armed personal guards, there were also black shadows, shadows silently appeared from behind the guards, and deftly climbed onto the guards' backs, and before the guards knew it, a black shadow knife appeared in the shadows' hands.
The shadow knife is raised, cutting through the neck armor like cutting tissue paper.
Several of the Gripon's guards suddenly had blood gushing out of their throats like a fountain......
When the five guards fell, the voice of the red-robed woman suddenly sounded, "It's the necromancer, quickly light all the torches, all close to the brazier, only the fire can dispel the shadow and deal with the necromancy." Melisandre still knelt on one knee, shouting as she spoke, and as she chanted, the flames of the brazier burned brightly.
At this moment, Lynn gritted his teeth and pulled out the Ancestor King's long sword from the knee of the Ancestor King's stone statue, and suddenly those shadows like living creatures, who had just pounced on him fiercely, suddenly screamed and disappeared or automatically avoided his location, as if they were afraid of defiling Lynn and the long sword in his hand.
