Chapter 0938: Hand of Flames

The hound condescended, undisguised his arrogance and contempt: "I'm afraid, General, the tiger should die, and who of you has ever seen a tiger welcome a man? Jeff's little trick, who can he fool? It's just that I don't know why my stupid brother would reward him with a dragon, I'm so unhappy." ”

Stupid brother?

Yes, the hound hadn't realized he had uttered the word 'brother'.

If he realized, it would have been incredible. He would have denied that the word 'brother' was uttered by him. Although the magic mountain is related to him by blood, it is definitely not his brother, he is a scumbag.

The nobles, noblewomen, ladies, generals, knights, and warriors who welcomed the soldiers at the gate of the city were silent, daring to be angry and not wanting to speak.

This king's brother openly said that his king's brother was stupid, and such a topic, it is better to interject less.

The hound's gaze swept over everyone, and a faint sense of loss welled up in his heart, and no one jumped out against him, which made him a little bored. He looks cruel and terrible, his face is gloomy, and his face is terrifying, but he has a certain principle in his heart, and he is not the unreasonable, strong, barbaric, and cold-blooded person, and the other party is silent, so it is not easy for him to gain an inch.

The hound glanced back at his subordinates, and the warriors of the Casgus islands were full of wildness, and they came on horseback, and the weapons in their hands were still varied, most of which were heavy weapons, and very few used long swords.

The hound gently patted the unicorn on the neck, and the unicorn walked forward, the hound leaning back slightly, facing the road with his charred and distorted chin.

In the sky, the Magic Mountain and Alynn Martell did not land in the Consulate Square on the dragon, but flew outside the city.

Outside the city, in the southeast corner, next to the city's black walls, there is a surprisingly large structure: the Red Temple dedicated to Rahlo.

The hound entered the city, and then he saw the dragon and the white dragon flying overhead, and the shadow cast by the dragon's wings darkened his eyes.

The golden-red dragon and the pure white white dragon landed on the Red Temple Square outside the city.

The Red Temple Square is huge, and at the southernmost end of the square is a hundred steps down the way down to the Lorne River.

The dragon fell, and the door of the Red Temple slowly opened at the same time, and the High Priest Bennero appeared, followed by countless monks in red robes. There is also an escort of the Hand of the Flame with swords.

Archpriest Bennero has an armed group of 1,000 Sacred Hands of Fire.

Magic Mountain and Alynn descended from the dragon's back, both of them shocked by the building in front of them.

The pillars, staircases, buttresses, stone arches, domes, and towers of the temple were all enormous, as if they had been hewn out of the same rock, and looked a bit like the high hills of Aegon that stood. Red, yellow, gold, and orange are the colors that mingle and permeate the walls of the temple like clouds at dusk.

The gate of the temple was about three times as high as the gate of the Great Basilica of Baylor, and people stood under the gate, small and humble. The pillars and frescoes are stunningly tall.

The Great Basilica of Baylor in King's Landing was already very grand and tall, but compared to the Red Temple, it was simply an unsightly small village.

The Magic Mountain is a giant among giants, many burly men have no momentum in front of him, and adults are only half-grown children in front of him. The same is true of this red temple, as if it is a magic mountain in the temple. The largest Red Temple in the world, no one knows who built this remarkable structure, or when it was built. Look at the majestic and tall door, which cannot be pushed by human power, and can only be opened and closed by the force of a mechanical winch.

The magnificence and grandeur of the Red Temple amazed the Magic Mountain and Alen.

Archpriest Bennello led the monks down the steps towards the Magic Mountain. Magic Mountain and Alen hurriedly stepped forward, respectful and humble, not ashamed of their identity.

In Valantis, there are more people who believe in the Red God Rahlo than in all other places combined. A small number of nobles, most of the soldiers, almost all the freedmen, and almost all the slaves here all believe in the Red God. Archon Joshuel had tried to hire the Golden Order to clear the Red Temple and kill Benero, but was rejected by the Golden Order. Both Joshuel's Elephants and Jeff's Tigers had their own legions, but neither of them dared to order their legionnaires to assassinate Beneiro, because those soldiers were Beneiro's followers. It was precisely because Bennero's influence in Valantis was so huge and far-reaching that the consuls became murderous.

Benero was the supreme priest of the Red Temple, he was tall and thin, with prominent facial features and skin as white as milk. His cheeks, chin, and bald head were covered with flame tattoos that enveloped his lipless mouth, his voice was as sharp as iron, and his voice was impressively high.

Benelo froze, a few meters away from the Magic Mountain, he shook his hands into fists, and then opened his arms: "Welcome, Messenger of Light, son of the god who killed the Night King, you are my great king." Before he could finish speaking, flames erupted from the tiger's eyes and fingers of his two fists, and in an instant, the two fists turned into two raging flames. His arms drew two circles, and where the two flames passed, they formed two rings of flames, which burned in the void, as if they were two rings of fire hanging in the air.

The Magic Mountain and Aliane had never seen such a miracle, and the Magic Mountain watched intently, while Alian's face was full of surprise.

Bennero's fists flame extinguished, leaving two burning rings of fire between him and the Magic Mountain. The fingers of his right hand stretched out, and the fingertips spewed out small flames, and with his fingers swiping, he wrote in the void of the circle of fire, and with each stroke, the flame burned in the void, and after writing a word, in the ring of fire, there was a word that hung in the air. Bennello writes non-stop, burning words lined up in the void one by one, like a miracle.

The Magic Mountain recognized the words, all of which were high-grade Valyrian runes. With the help of Melisandre, the Mountain learned the language of the Dragon, all of which are lost High Valyrian languages, and after becoming familiar with the High Valyrian Dragons, the Mountain was able to identify the runes that belonged to the formation of the High Valyrian languages. Although he can't know all of them, he can still recognize a few words of some of the runes.

By connecting the words that can be recognized, Magic Mountain can grasp the meaning of the two sentences that Bennello wrote in the ring of fire: Don't believe in the Elephant Party and the Tiger Party.

Magic Mountain nodded: "I remember, Archpriest Bennero, thank you for the reminder." ”

Bennero looked serious and folded his hands. The flame characters slowly disappeared one by one, and finally, the two flame rings gradually faded until they disappeared completely.

"Your Majesty, the Eye of Darkness has set its sights on us in the Land of Eternal Winter, and the servants of the Long Night want to devour us with the coming of winter, and when the comet weeps blood, an ancient prophecy records that a hero will save the world from the darkness. This hero is the reincarnation of the Lightbringer Ahai, I thought the Lightbringer was Daenerys Targaryen, I sent the priest of this temple, the Pastor Machiro, to serve Her Majesty Queen Daenerys Targaryen, but it turns out that my prediction and interpretation of the oracle have been wrong, Your Majesty is the reincarnation of Asol Ahai, you saved all the Terrans, defeated the darkness, and smashed the conspiracy of the Eye of Black Smoke, you are the greatest king, please accept my gratitude. Benelo raised his hand, and a hand of flame stepped forward and knelt down on one knee towards the Magic Mountain.

"This is Ogden, the warrior of my hands of fire, and I give him to His Majesty as a bodyguard, so that he can do his part to protect His Majesty in times of evil wizards and dangers. The flame is pure, and it can shine a first light on danger and evil. A flaming sword that keeps darkness and demons away. ”

"Thank you, Archpriest. Moshan hurriedly folded his hands in thanks.

The Magic Mountain looked at Ogden: "Get up, Ogden, Flame Hand, you are now my guard." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Ogden got up and stood at the side of the Magic Mountain. He was dressed in bright red clothes, and his exposed skin was covered with tattoos of flames, even his eyelids and lips were tattooed with flames.

"Your Majesty, if you come to the temple first, and then go to the Consulate, it will make the Elephant Party consuls and the leaders of the Tiger Party hate me even more. But I have seen the wonderful way in which His Majesty will deal with them in the future, and His Majesty's wisdom and bravery are unmatched. ”

"The Grand Priest has won the prize. ”

"Why didn't Melisandre come to Valantis with the army? She also went to Westeros because of the awakening of the Dark Eye in the Land of Eternal Winter, and in order to fight the Servant of Darkness, she and I were worried that we would not be able to find the hero of the reincarnation of Asal. She's smarter than I am, though, and she's found you in Westeros, and I'm in Essos, and Daenerys Targaryen. ”

"Every soldier who fights against the demons is the reincarnation of Azor Ah. We are all the people of the red god Rahlo, we have drawn our swords against the strangers, we are not afraid to give our lives, and all the warriors who fight against the darkness are the children of the gods. ”

"Your Majesty is too humble, there is only one sword of the Lightbringer, and there is only one hero reincarnated by Asor Ahai, and that is Your Majesty the King!"

Magic Mountain smiled modestly and accepted the praise of the Grand Pastor.

"Archpriest, I have a younger brother, Sandor Clegane...... I wonder if in the days to come, will he let go of his prejudices about me and treat me as his real brother?"

"Your Majesty, I saw in the flames that he called your brother. ”

"Call me to your face?"

"It's not. I've seen it too, and he won't allow others to slander you. Your Majesty, this dear brother of yours, his people have returned, and his heart has returned. But in his language and demeanor, he may not be respectful to you. ”

"I just want him to recognize me as a brother, and I don't care about other false courtesies. ”

"You've got what you wanted, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Archpriest, for your advice. ”

"Lord Priest, can you help me see the child in my womb, whether he is male or female, and will he become a dragon knight in the future?" said Arrene Martell with a look of antiquation.

"Prince Arlene, I beg your pardon for not having seen the flames for you and His Majesty's children. ”

"Then ask the High Priest to take a look at it today. ”

"I will look into the future for you and His Majesty's children at the right time, when my mind is at ease. However, in the future, I may not be able to see anything in the flames, so please don't blame me when the time comes, Prince Alian. ”

"As long as you are willing to look for your child, I am grateful. Alen was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted.

*

On the Consulate Square, Elephant Party Archon Joshuel and Tiger Party Leader Jeff watched as His Majesty the King and Prince Arlene flew away on the dragon, and the dragon flew out of the black wall and disappeared into the southeast corner.

"His Majesty went to the Red Temple?" Jeff was a little reluctant to believe.

"Dragons belong to fire, and the Red Temple is dedicated to Rahlo, Rahlo, the god of fire and shadow. His Majesty's visit to the Red Temple to worship Rahelo seemed like a natural thing. Elephant Party Archon Joshuel said slowly.

The Elephants and the Tigers unanimously wanted to eradicate Beneiro, who was too influential, and they could not order the soldiers of their faith in Lahlo, so they spent a lot of money to hire mercenaries outside. However, none of the mercenaries were willing to take on the job. Even the most powerful of the nine free trade city-states refused to be hired by the Elephant Party. The dark wizards and immortal wizards of the East, as soon as they heard that they were going to be asked to poison Archpriest Bennero, they all directly refused, no matter how much money the Elephant Party paid.

When His Majesty arrived, he did not come to their consulship first, but first visited the Red Temple, much to the collective discomfort of the nobles of the Elephant Party and the Tiger Party.

"Lord Archon, I'm going to see His Majesty the King at the Red Temple, will you come along?" said Jeff to Joshuel.

Joshuel's eyes looked at the sky, as if he hadn't heard Jeff's words at all: "Jeff, you go to the Red Temple, and I will stay in the Consulate and wait for you to come back." ”

His Majesty promised Jeff a dragon, and Jeff had obviously changed too much. Is he eager to go to the Red Temple to show his loyalty to His Majesty?

Regardless of the number of people who believed in Lahlo, most of the nobles of the Elephant Party and the Tiger Party did not believe in the Red God, let alone Archpriest Bennero. They were hostile to Archpriest Benneiro, and this hostility was invisibly exacerbated when Archpriest Benneiro called on his faithful to support Daenerys.

On the surface, the nobles of the Elephant Party and the Tiger Party have great respect for Archpriest Bennero, and they will also send many gifts to the Red Temple for ceremonies and festivals. But secretly, the Elephant Party consuls and the Tiger leaders wanted nothing more than the High Pastor's death.

Jeff, the leader of the Tiger Party, has great prestige, and in Valantis, he is the supreme commander of the army. His tiger-robed army revered him like a god, and the soldiers of the elephant party were also impressed by his swordsmanship and courage, and were willing to obey him if something happened to Valanti. In Valantis, there has never been a man who can outperform Jeff in swordsmanship and combat ability.

After a while, Jeff, the leader of the Tiger Party, led his 100 most elite tiger-robed troops on war horses, crossed the streets and aisles, and galloped to the east gate of the city.

Before Jeff, the warriors of the island of Casgus, led by Sandor Clegane, the hound, had turned, exited the city gates, and followed the river avenue towards the Red Temple.
