Chapter 301: The Force of Nature is the Force of Life
Melisandre wanted to have Mance Rader burned at the stake, as he was the "King of the Outer Gates" and that the king's blood in him possessed great mana that could help Stannis achieve victory. www.biquge.info Jon rejected her, believing that the Night's Watch had always executed traitors by hanging or beheading, and that Mance Red had volunteered to be punished, so he could avoid the pain of separation, and the gallows would be his only destination.
"You're going to need to burn his body with fire in the end, so why waste it twice?" said Melisandre, her immense charm, fiery shadows leaping in Jon's pupils. The warm sensation came from the palm of his hand, accompanied by the touch of delicate skin and the soft elasticity. But at the same time, there are scars from the fire and stab wounds from the oath.
"Burning at the stake is too painful, and that's not the custom of the Northland and the ancestors. I still have more than 50,000 savages to be appeased, and I can't take that risk. β
"His Majesty has more than 30,000 knights, who will be your most reliable support. Melisandre tugged at her collar and locked the spring up. "Stannis has the throne of the Seven Kingdoms, he will reign over the world, and the wildlings are only wild, they will not tame and will not help you. β
Savages are more than just wild, Ygritte is the best example of this, and Jon has the skinny girl with pale red hair in mind. "I'm sorry, Lady Melisandre, but I can't grant your request. With the Night's Watch, there will be no burning at the stake. β
"It's a shame. Melisandre said, "It's a shame. β
Mance Rader thought he would walk to the gallows laughing, but he didn't make it, but he didn't shed tears for timidity. He kissed his son one last time, took a deep breath, and put the noose around his neck. "I ought to say something," he said to the crowd, "but suddenly I didn't want to say it again." If any of you are curious, you can come and ask me when you die. β
Jon took off his gloves and raised his right hand so that Mance Red could see the scar on his palm, and then swung it down hard. The king of the outer plug hung in mid-air, staggering, staggering. His time is over.
After a while, his body was taken down and sent to Maester Amon. "He needs to sort out his makeup and then cremate it. That's what Jon said to the crowd. Only Mance's wife allowed to watch, and most of the people dispersed, and Tormund waited by the cremation pile with a group of wild men.
"Well, I don't have much time, I can only say give it a try. Zhao Mai ran out of the inner chamber of Master Aemon, startling everyone. "I've never done this before, so don't be surprised whatever happens. β
He cut through Mans's clothes with a knife, placing one hand on his chest and one on his forehead. "Sam, bring me the medicated oil!"
Sam held a black crockpot in both hands, filled with mercury-like liquid. Zhao Mai pulled him to help, and the two of them used at least a thousand gold coins of materials to prepare this jar of potion, which made Sam feel distressed when he thought about it. However, when he heard what Zhao Mai was going to do, he suddenly felt that it was worth spending ten times the price.
"I'm going to try to bring Mance Rader back to life. Zhao Mai said to everyone: "It's the first time I've done this, so I can only say try, it's very likely that something will go wrong, you have to be considerate." β
Mance Red's wife nearly fainted, but Jon held him up. Master Emonn sat slowly and tremblingly on a chair beside him, leaning on crutches, his eyes shining with excitement.
"When I say pour it, you pour oil into Mance's chest, not too fast, just take your time. Zhao Mai said: "No matter what kind of disappearance happens, don't bother me, understand?"
Well, Zhao Mai really thought too much, they obediently shut their mouths one by one, and no one bothered him.
The Force of Nature gathered in his palm, and then slowly poured into the already cold corpse. He chanted incantations in a voice that only he could understand, complex gesture after intricate gesture. But that's not all that matters, it's the communication with the Force of Nature that is. It's not sounds, gestures, and precious oils that bring the dead back to life, it's the Force of Nature.
Xiaohua floated in the air, guiding Zhao Mai according to her own perception. The Natural Force first has to break through the barrier between life and death, and find the soul according to the natural Force characteristics of the corpse.
"Well, I see Mansred's soul, but he looks stupid, doesn't seem to understand anything, and doesn't listen to me. Xiaohua stretched out her hand and pointed to the chair beside her: "He's sitting here, you can tell him." β
"Where?" Zhao Mai looked at the empty chair and blinked. Xiaohua pointed to her eyes and said, "Use the green dream." β
"Oh yes. Zhao Mai adjusted his standing posture to avoid falling down after being distracted. Immediately after that, he adjusted his natural force and entered the world of green dreams. This time, he finally saw the soul of Mance Red.
He was dressed in gray with a wide cloak with a red patch. Mance once said that as a night watchman, he was in distress on patrol and was rescued by the wildlings. The savages used this red patch to mend his clothes. Back in the Night's Watch, the Commander forbade him to leave the red patch and had to wear black, prompting him to leave the Night's Watch.
I didn't expect this incident to have such a big impact on him, even after death, his soul would have a red patch. In the green dream, Zhao Mai can clearly feel the fluctuations of the Force, which is providing Mansred with visible energy, allowing his soul to reappear in the world.
Zhao Mai walked up to him: "Mance, I'm resurrecting you, are you willing to return to the world?"
The king of the outside of the plug was motionless at first, looking at Zhao Mai in a daze, and only opened his mouth after half a sound. He couldn't make a sound, but his mouth was still recognizable: "Is it really okay?"
"There's no harm in trying, right?" Zhao Mai said, "Don't you want to watch your son grow up?"
At the mention of his son, Mance finally nodded. He strained his hands and pushed himself up from his chair. Zhao Mai stretched out his hand to help, but he shook his head stubbornly, followed the guidance of the natural force, and slowly walked towards his "corpse" step by step. He walked slower and slower, as if doing so was very exhausting, as if he were carrying a thousand pounds. However, with a strong will, Mance was able to complete the twelve steps. He gasped for a few breaths, and finally turned his head, suddenly making a frightened expression and looking behind Zhao Mai. Then, his soul body entered the body.
Zhao Mai was taken aback by his last expression and hurriedly looked back. But there was nothing behind him, just the normal dΓ©cor of Maester Aemon's room. Xiaohua also said that she did not know, and speculated that it may be that Mance's soul was frightened by the feeling of "regaining life".
At that moment, Mance took a sharp breath and opened his eyes. (To be continued.) )
