Chapter 296: It's Not Enough to Just Be Able to Do It

The horn sounded and kept being passed out. Zhao Mai pricked up his ears www.biquge.info listened, and found that the cavalry began to gather towards the place where he was, stepping on the messy hooves. The infantry still formed a battle line, maintaining a confrontation with the wildlings along the forest line.

More and more people poured out of the forest, not only knights, but also freeriders, mounted archers, and ordinary soldiers in short vests and round helmets, numbering in the hundreds. Bright flags flew above their heads, and the wind blew away the flags, with all kinds of patterns and coats of arms on them, maybe the bachelor could see it, Zhao Mai was dazzled anyway, and basically didn't know any of them.

The largest flag, of course, was Stannis Baratheon's, which Zhao Mai recognized: the size of a bed sheet, with a long, pointed tongue of fire on a yellow base outlining a burning red heart, and a black crowned buck embroidered on the other, like gold leaf.

Stannis's face was grim and cold, as others described him: like a piece of pig iron. He sat straight on horseback, with a crown of bucks carved into his old war-hardened armor and a sword clinging to his thigh. However, Zhao Mai stood on the transparent staircase created by the psychic ability, just taller than him. In order to avoid the embarrassment of being looked down upon while sitting on his horse, he decided to turn over and dismount, and stop in front of the thorny obstacle with the other knights, at least standing better mentally.

Zhao Mai took a deep breath and dissolved his spell, allowing the thorny land to return to its original form, only to be softer, wet, and full of life. He walked down and stood in front of Stannis.

"Are you the King of Cyprus?" Stannis asked.

"Oh, no. That guy's name is Mance Red, and as you're used to, I'm called Mike Cho. ”

"You know I'm Stannis Baratheon?"

Zhao Mai nodded. Seaworth, the Prime Minister of Stannis, stepped forward and said, "King Stannis Baratheon, the only true king of the Seven Kingdoms, King of the Andals, Royna, and the Ancestors, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and Guardian of the Realm. He paused and said, "Normally, when you see the king, you should kneel. ”

"Thank you, Sir Onion, if you want to heal your finger someday, you can come to me. Zhao Mai said: "I am not an Andal, a Royna, or an ancestor, and I am not from any place in the Seven Kingdoms, so even if you are a king, it is not mine." I'll respect you, but I'm not going to kneel. ”

"What's Zhao's last name?" Stannis asked, deciding to get around the question of kneeling.

"I belong to a very strong country with an area of 9.6 million square kilometers and a population of nearly 1.4 billion. According to the order of surnames in our country (hundred family names), Zhao is ranked first. ”

"The royal family?"

"The ancestor is indeed ......," Zhao Mai decided to continue fooling. In the data, Stannis is a rather rigid person, who regards rules as something more important than life, and is a good general who leads by example. He was so sure of his throne that he would not tolerate any objection, for that would be a deception and a lie, a despicable and dishonest villain. If Zhao Mai said that he was just a civilian, then if he said it, even if he was correct, it would be greatly discounted, so it would be better to pull the tiger skin as a banner. Besides, the Song Dynasty did have the surname Zhao......

"As a descendant of the royal family, why do you fight for the savages outside the Seychelles?"

"No, I'm not fighting for them, I'm stopping your slaughter of them. Zhao Mai said: "I accompanied the night watchman here to negotiate with the wildlings, there has just been a big battle between the two of them, and the battlefield has not yet had time to clean up, you will definitely be able to see it later." The Night's Watch and the Wildlings have a common enemy, and in order to confront this enemy, both are willing to stop fighting. ”

Sir Seaworth asked, "How is it possible for the Night's Watch and the Wildlings to make peace??" Who do you mean by their common enemy?' he was a little nervous, after all, they were divided into camps, and they were a third party other than the Wildlings and the Night's Watch.

"Rest assured, it's not His Majesty Stannis Baratheon, it's the stranger of the north, an ice-like creature with blue eyes and a pale body. Zhao Mai looked at the red-robed woman and said, "I believe that Lady Melisandre should have seen them from the fire." ”

Melisandre's complexion was not very good because of the damage she had taken during the spell battle, but that didn't affect her beauty in the slightest. Despite being in the cold and snow of the north, she still wore only a low-cut single skirt and stood barefoot on the ice. It is said that her body always exudes a warm heat, so that she is not afraid of the influence of the weather and the invasion of cold and heat.

"No, I didn't see the strange ghosts you mentioned, only the countless wild men attacked the Great Wall of Desperation, overthrowing this great miracle, and all the living beings in the Seven Kingdoms were in ruins. Melisandre said, "The wildlings must be stopped. ”

Prophecy is a good ability, but it is often misleading. Zhao Mai said: "But it doesn't matter, the attack of the wild people has been stopped, so you don't have to fight." I suppose His Majesty Stannis should be more interested in the Iron Throne of King's Landing, and wouldn't waste a single soldier, right?"

Stannis nodded, and said to Davos Seaworth, "Let the soldiers assemble in a defensive formation, and don't have unnecessary clashes for a while." Tell the night watchman that let's pass the Wall. ”

"Thank you very much. Zhao Mai said, "If you want, I can ask Mance Rader and Jon Snow to come over." ”

Stannis nodded, "I'll wait for them here." ”

Zhao Mai nodded, stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air, condensing into a dove of ice and snow. He whispered a few words to the pigeon, passing the message to Jon and Mance.

Stannis glanced at the Vulcan sacrifice to Melisandre, and then said to Zhao Mai, "Which god do you believe in?"

"Oh, I don't believe in any gods. Zhao Mai scratched his head, he thought carefully about this question for the first time: "I think that the laws of the world are hidden behind natural phenomena, and the pursuit and exploration of such laws is the innate instinct of living beings and the highest pursuit of the soul. Well, I don't know what I'm talking about, maybe I'll know later. ”

"You should believe in our god Rahlo, bring light and warmth to the world, and dispel the cold night. Melisandre's voice rang out, and it was moving. She stepped forward one by one, the ruby necklace on her chest glowing beautifully. "Man walks the world with questions and suspicions. Be careful at this time, after all, the night is dark and sinister everywhere!"

"No, thank you, Rahlo's teachings are too simple. Zhao Mai said: "The Lord of Light is right, fight the God of Cold with fire and light." But look ......" Zhao Mai waved his hand casually, and pulled out a flaming long sword out of thin air.

"Don't think I'm the reincarnation of some former savior, Azor Ah, because I can do that. Zhao Mai exhaled a breath towards his empty hand, condensing a strange ghost's ice crystal long sword. "Ice and fire, ice and fire, ice in fire or fire in ice can actually be done. ”

He kneaded the two weapons together, and the ice and flames mixed together to make a clattering, hula and hula sound. Stannis looked at all this coldly, his face cloudy. (To be continued.) )
