In the throne room of the Megar Tower, Bruce Antarion met the king once more.

Unlike the previous blonde and golden eyes, the king sitting high on the Iron Throne at this time regained his original brown hair and black eyes.

There is no longer the divine coercion that made people want to bow and worship, and it seems more approachable.

However, Bruce did not dare to show the slightest disrespect.

"Your Majesty Caesar, on behalf of the Sea King of Braavos, I extend my sincerest greetings to you."

"Lord Bruce," Samwell said, glancing at the guest from across the Narrow Sea, "has Braavos' rebellion been quelled?" ”

"The rebellion has been put down. Thanks to your great help, my father sent me to thank you. In addition, I have come to King's Landing for one more thing, and that is to fulfill the marriage agreement I have made with you. ”

In order to cross the river smoothly, Samwell reached a marriage with the Antarion family under the mediation of Varys.

Although in the end, the other party did not provide much help, and the Braavos fleet was still stopped on Blackwater Bay by relying on the Stormlands fleet, Samwell did not intend to break the contract.

Moreover, winter has arrived, and the Alien is a threat to all mankind, and if you want to get the help of the free trade city-states on the other side of the Narrow Sea, the friendship of the Sea King is crucial.

"Yes." Samwell said, "My sister, Sarah Tully, will marry you. However, she still has two years to reach adulthood, so you will need to be patient for a while. ”

Bruce frowned when he heard this, and said:

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't have the patience to wait for Miss Sarah to come of age, but that my father has been seriously ill for many years, and now he is nearing the end of his life, and his last wish is to see me married, so ...... I have heard that you have three younger sisters, and the eldest, Miss Tara, is an adult, and I wonder if I will have the privilege of marrying her. ”

"I'm sorry, Tara is married to Duke Edmure Tully of Riverrun." Samwell looked at Bruce, who was anxious, and suddenly realized something, "I will personally go to Braavos to attend your engagement with Sarah." ”

"That's wonderful, Your Majesty!" Bruce immediately turned his worries into joy, "If you can come to Braavos in person, it will be the greatest honor of the Antarion family!" ”

Samwell knew he was right.

Although the Antarion family temporarily stabilized the situation in Braavos, they were not able to clean up all the opposition, and the Sea King was terminally ill and had to rely on external forces to help his son ascend to the throne.

Samwell was not resisting, and he needed to find a reliable ally across the Narrow Sea.

The two then made small talk for a moment, and Samwell arranged for the son of Aquaman to rest and had Sarah Tully take him to him.

At this time, Gavin Mander walked over quickly, handed a list to Samwell, and said:

"Your Majesty, it seems that there are still many die-hard believers of the archbishop, and there are even some nobles who are ready to move."

Samwell glanced at it casually and chuckled:

"It's best if they take the initiative to jump out. Did the Baylor Chapel get results? ”

"It's out, Your Majesty." "It was Archbishop Renard who was elected as the new archbishop. ”

"Good. Bring him to me. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In the Great Chapel of Baylor, the new archbishop had just finished his prayer service and slowly got up from before the Father.

From this day forward, his earthly name will be forgotten and replaced by the title of Archbishop.

As the spokesman of the Seven Gods, he no longer needs mortal names.

But the archbishop did not have much joy in his heart, but more fear and trepidation.

The scene of the previous archbishop being reduced to ashes in front of King Caesar under the gaze of the seven gods is still vivid, how can he feel at ease.

Just now, he prayed to the seven gods a thousand times, asking the gods to give him guidance.

However, there was no response.

As always.

Sometimes, he really doubted that the Seven Gods really existed, but every time this thought came to him, he forcibly suppressed it.

But today, this thought can no longer be suppressed.

Maybe the Seven Gods really don't exist, otherwise, how could they watch their spokesmen in the world being burned alive!

The archbishop left the prayer hall and returned to his lodgings.

When I opened the door, I saw a figure standing by the window.

He thought it was the servant who cleaned the room, and said:

"You go out first."

"Lord Renard."

The man turned around, and the archbishop realized that it was Baron Gavin Mande, the Iron Throne's intelligence director.

At this time, he didn't even care about the other party rudely calling out his worldly name, and asked in horror:

"You, how did you get in?"

Gavin opened his closet and looked back with a mysterious smile:

"Please follow me."

The archbishop stayed where he was for a long time, his face constantly changing, and finally he gritted his teeth and entered the closet.

The siding has been opened, revealing the passage of the black hole.

The archbishop tentatively touched the metal.

He held the ladder in one hand as he carefully found the next level with his feet.

It wasn't until it went deep into the ground that the original vertical shaft-shaped tunnel became a sloping earth tunnel.

Gavin was waiting for him there, holding a torch.

"You've dug a secret passage in the Baelor Chapel!"

"It's not us." Gavin shook his head, "It's the craftsman hired by Meg back then. Let's go, Your Majesty wants to see you. ”

Why didn't he come to see me in the church? The archbishop was tempted to ask.

But he didn't dare.

He feared that he, like the previous archbishop, would quietly turn into a pile of ashes.

I don't know how long I walked, it was difficult to feel the change in distance underground, and when I climbed out of the ground again, the archbishop found himself in a small narrow room.

"We're in the Red Keep?"

"Yes." Gavin threw him a black robe, "Put it on." ”

The archbishop did not care about the tone of the other party's command, and obediently put on his robe, and covered his face with a hood.

Gavin then pushed open the door, and the golden-robed guards outside bowed down.

The archbishop followed the other, through the corridor, and up the spiral staircase, until finally to the king's study.

"Please." Gavin opened the wooden door and gestured.

The archbishop took a deep breath and stepped inside.

Bang –

The door closed behind him, startling him with the noise.

"Don't be nervous, Renard." Caesar's voice came.

The archbishop followed the prestige and saw the king reclining lazily on the sofa, holding a copy of the Seven Stars in his hand.

His appearance had regained his original brown hair and black eyes, and he no longer exuded the terrifying divine coercion, but in the eyes of the archbishop, this king was even more terrifying than the seven gods.

"Your Majesty, you are looking for me to ......"

"Sit."

The archbishop sat obediently opposite the king, holding his breath.

Samwell closed the book in his hand and asked:

"Tell me, Renard, what is blasphemy?"

Fine beads of sweat oozed from the archbishop's forehead instantly, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

He knew he was facing a fatal problem.

The image of the previous archbishop's tragic death came back to his mind, and his heart was filled with fear.

"The behavior of the sparrow is blasphemy!"

Under the boundless pressure, the archbishop exclaimed.

Hearing this, Samwell finally had a smile on his face.
