Chapter 298: Something to Say
"The ancient book of Asha prophesied that after the long summer, when the stars wept blood, Azor Ahai would be reborn in the land of smoke and salt, drawing a flaming sword from the flames and awakening the dragon in the stone. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Melisandre's voice sounded behind Zhao Mai. She exudes alluring heat, and the red robe and fair skin contrast with each other, making it even more delicate and moving. But I can't tell her age from the outside, it's okay to say that she's a girl, and it's okay to say that she already has a mature flavor. She's the kind of woman who just reads and there will always be the next chapter of the story.
"Hey, don't fool me, I'm not going to be a savior. Zhao Mai shook his head at her, and instead of stepping forward, he squatted down and teased the reserve grain, trying to grab the tongue that it spit out while resting.
"Why are you avoiding me?"
"Is it okay if I have a wife at home?" Zhao Mai said helplessly, and Xiaohua applauded vigorously. She had been trying to tease Melisandre, but when she got close to her, she was like ice cream on fire, unable to maintain her form.
"You're lying. Melisandre smiled, "I don't need to look at the flames to know that." ”
"Well, I'll admit I don't have a wife at the moment. But I have a girlfriend named Shatiri, and she's pretty good. She will become a sun mage, drawing power directly from the sun's flames and even defeating the Dragon Emperor. ”
"My power is the light and fire of the sun, but what is the Dragon Emperor?" said Melisandre. She stood in front of Zhao Mai, her pale red pupils carefully examining Zhao Mai's eyes, trying to see his heart. "You're so mysterious......"
"No visits. Zhao Mai said: "If you have something, just talk about it, if it's okay, you should still accompany Stannis." ”
"Do you think I'm Stannis's mistress?" Melisandre shook her head, "No, I did get the King's Blood from him, and that was only for spells, not because I was his." I'll admit that it's in everyone's interest to keep this misunderstanding going, but you don't want to get into any trouble at all. ”
Xiaohua shouted loudly from the side, "Shameless! Shameless!" She flew around angrily, but she couldn't touch the red-robed girl. She squinted her eyes and saw Dogian sitting quietly beside her, and her mind turned and she was about to fly over. Zhao Mai snapped his fingers and used his psychic ability to protect Duo Ji'an's brain.
Xiaohua, who was seen through the action, pinched her waist and snorted: "You are not allowed to do anything, there are children watching from the side!"
Zhao Mai rolled his eyes, both for Xiaohua and Melisandre. "Lady Melisandre, I think your most important thing is to fulfill the will of Laherlo, the Lord of Light, and not to talk nonsense with me here, can you tell me what His Majesty Stannis has in mind? ”
"His Majesty's idea is naturally to be a king, to protect the subjects of the Seven Kingdoms and punish the rebels and villains. After the Blackwater, His Majesty crossed the Narrow Sea to Braavos to seek the help of the Iron Vault. As Melisandre spoke, the blood ruby in her throat seemed to pulsate with her heartbeat: "When the Iron Treasury collapsed due to its own greed, Your Majesty reached out to help it restore order and salvage assets that should be used for a just cause." ”
"It's not going to be a robbery. ”
"The word "while it's hot" is very good. Melisandre chuckled, "I have to admit that many freelancers, mercenaries, and even pirates joined at that time. Sir Straws travelled extensively, and he was His Majesty's most loyal and upright Prime Minister. ”
"But he doesn't like you, and he doesn't like Vulcan. ”
"Like you now?" Melisandre shook her head, "I know he believes in the Seven Gods, and at one point even wanted to assassinate me. But I forgive him, because the world is always blinded by all kinds of affairs, whether it is true or false, after all, the night is dark and sinister everywhere. And one day, when the light will shine on his path to truth, he will know that the Lord of Light is taking care of him. ”
"Savages have their own beliefs, and so does the entire North. Stannis believes in your Lord of Light, but failure to manage the relationship between the Lord of Light and the Old Gods will bring disaster. Not just for the wildlings, but also for Stannis. Have you figured this out?"
Melisandre took two steps forward and stood under the sun. Even though the sun outside was pale and cold, it still blinded the eyes. She stared straight into the sun with an intoxicated expression. "I saw in the fire the future that the gods had revealed to me, and I saw the rebirth of Ah, the sword of fire is the sword of the warrior, and the king who uses it ends the eternal winter and brings light and warmth. ”
"You don't think it's me, do you? if you want to learn, I can even try to teach you the spell to pull out the flaming sword. ”
"No, I mean to say, I didn't see the faith of the Fire Lord enveloping Westeros. Melisandre said, "For those who believe in the Lord of Fire, light and warmth go hand in hand, and for those who do not believe, give him time and opportunity to be converted." As long as His Majesty is surrounded by faithful and devout believers, then the world will find an example and follow the power of example. ”
This is a relatively acceptable statement. ”
"We sailed back from Braavos and heard from the seafarers about the strange ghosts that had been encountered in White Harbor. Families in the North are praying to the Old Gods for power against the Strangers. Melisandre said, "At that time, I was thinking, if it was the army of the Lord of Light who defeated the Stranger, then the faith of the North was not immutable, so why rush. ”
Zhao Mai nodded: "This kind of thinking can really help Stannis." ”
"If the savages could submit to the king and fight for him, it would be of great help. The king, though serious, never skimps on rewards. Melisandre said, "Do you know where the wildling's magic horn is?"
"Here I am. Zhao Mai generously admitted. "Mance Rader gave it to me, convinced that if there was one man in the world who could keep this corner out of the hands of the Stranger, it was me. Moreover, I am also the godfather of his son. ”
"Can you show me?"
"No, I can't. Zhao Mai shook his head: "It's better to take out less of that thing." Not only do you and I have magic, but so do the Strangers, who are surely constantly looking for it, and will find it sooner or later. ”
"Then you should stay with me and stay with His Majesty. Melisandre said, "Your Majesty admires you very much. ”
"I believe that, after all, there are few people who can stop his army single-handedly. Zhao Mai still shook his head: "I'm not worried that the strange ghosts will find me, I'm also afraid that the strange ghosts won't find me! ”
"I'm always there if you need me. Melisandre said, "My fiery fire will burn for you." ”
Xiaohua shrunk her shoulders and hugged her arms, her lower lip pursed hard, her brow furrowed, and she stared fiercely at Melisandre's swaying back. (To be continued.) )
