486 Kingship and Theocracy

"Just these people?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The Lannisters haven't moved?"

"It's not that there hasn't been any movement," said Gavin Mande, "and some members of the Church have gone to see Ser Lancel Lannister, but when Lord Tyrion heard of it, he immediately tied up Ser Lancer. ”

Samwell snorted lightly and asked:

"What about the northern aristocracy? Did Luce Bolton meet anyone? ”

"Nope. Lord Luce stayed in the barracks outside the city tonight, not inside the city at all. ”

"So honest."

Gavin smiled inwardly when he saw the undisguised look of disappointment on the king's face.

He knew that Caesar wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to lure out all those careerists who were about to move, but he didn't expect that the archbishop would cooperate with the performance like this, but only some small fish and shrimp would be introduced.

"This shows that the vast majority of nobles recognize you, Your Majesty!" Gavin said, "In their hearts, your prestige is even higher than that of the Seven Gods!" ”

Samwell shook his head with a smile:

"Don't talk nonsense, go ahead and follow the plan."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Gavin left, Samwell stared at the dark sky alone.

The stars are dim tonight, the moon is cold, and it looks like it is going to snow again.

The cold wind blowing from the narrow sea carried a salty and wet smell, cold to the bone.

But Samwell didn't feel anything about it.

Countless invisible flame spirits enveloped him, keeping the cold out.

After the explosion of his mental attributes, Samwell found that his control of the fire element had reached an extremely powerful point, and the advanced fire magic that Melisandre had taught him was extraordinarily simple.

He was even able to perceive the imprint of fire magic hidden in his greatsword [Dawn], which was supposed to be the mark left by the Lord of Light, Rahlo.

Although he didn't know how to remove the mark yet, being able to perceive it was a huge improvement.

And he noticed that there was also a force left on his bronze armor.

This force suppressed Rahlo's flame mark, but it was extraordinarily mixed, as if it were a confluence of countless forces from different sources.

Samwell had thought that this was the sworn enemy of the Lord of Light, the legendary source of winter, the master of the long night, and the mark of the god of cold.

But in retrospect, that doesn't seem to be the case.

The power on the bronze armor is somewhat similar to the bloody eye left by "Crow's Eye" Euron Greyjoy.

And this bloody eye is something that the three-eyed crow is striving for.

The three-eyed raven is supposed to represent the old gods......

Just as Samwell was thinking, there was the sound of soft footsteps behind him.

He turned around and saw Daenerys Targaryen open the door and walk out.

"Did I wake you up?" Samwell hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her waist and gently wrapped her in the fire element.

"No, I woke up on my own." Daenerys curled up in her husband's arms, feeling the temperature coming from him, and narrowed her eyes comfortably, "I have to get up several times a night now, and the little one is crowding my bladder space. ”

Samwell laughed, "Just hold on for another month." ”

"Well, were you talking to Gavin just now?"

"Yes."

"About the Church of the Seven?"

"Hmm. Some people are not honest and just took this opportunity to clean up together. ”

Daenerys hesitated, but said:

"I didn't expect you to kill the archbishop at the Great Sanctuary of Baylor, it's a bit impulsive."

Samwell smiled slightly, but did not speak.

In fact, he was not prepared to use such a cool method to deal with the sparrow.

Although the man was ambitious, he was the spokesman of the Seven Gods and the leader of many believers in Westeros.

Killing them rashly will have extremely bad effects.

When the Sparrow proposed to re-arm the Order, Samwell knew that he was a danger.

But he didn't want to kill people directly, but planned to force the other party to abdicate voluntarily.

As for the solution, it is to arm the Order.

Although an important cornerstone of the power of the Church, the armed forces of the Church can also be a weapon to ruin the reputation of the archbishop.

However, it's always easy to get out of control.

Samwell didn't expect that the Sparrow would change the blessing ceremony to the coronation ceremony without authorization, in order to put the church above the royal power, and he certainly could not tolerate such behavior.

Coupled with the sparrow's self-determination, it also happened to help him a lot, making his spirit skyrocket, and he had the power of almost a god.

Under the combination of various factors, Samwell directly played a hand of "barbecue sparrows" in the church.

It is not only a punishment for the other party's violation of the agreement, but also a temptation to test the seven gods.

And the Seven Gods, as always, were silent.

The impact of this incident now seems to be much less subtle than expected.

Perhaps it was because Samwell displayed a god-like spiritual coercion in the Sanctuary, which frightened the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms and made them dare not act rashly.

As a result, even if the trap is dug now, few people dare to jump into it.

"Don't worry, it's not that serious." Samwell comforted his wife, "Most of the nobles are still on our side. ”

"That's good." Daenerys breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a touch of fish belly white appeared in the eastern sky, and soon, the light of dawn pierced the night, bringing the dawn to the world.

Woowoo woo –

The sound of a low trumpet suddenly sounded from outside King's Landing.

In a short time, countless heavily armed soldiers were seen pouring into the city like a tide in the glimmer of the morning light.

"Here we go." Samwell said, a little bored in his tone.

After all, it is really difficult for him to be interested in such small fish and shrimp.

"Hmm." Daenerys looked at the black torrent with a look of excitement, "Sam, are you going to take the opportunity to ban the Order's armament this time?" ”

"Why do you want to ban it?"

Daenerys was stunned for a moment: "Such a good opportunity, shouldn't this hidden danger be eliminated?" ”

Samwell shook his head:

"For us, the armed forces of the Order are not necessarily a threat, but they may be a help. You know, this is a rare force that can compete with the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. ”

Daenerys had a thoughtful expression, and she immediately thought of the scene when her father was forced to be helpless by the alliance of fish, wolf, deer and eagle, when the Targaryens could only turn to the lion, to Riverbend and Dorne.

But these people are either ill-intentioned or simply unreliable.

If the Targaryens had had a powerful force of their own, perhaps those tragedies would not have happened.

Can the Order be armed?

"Sam, although the Order's armament can resist the power of the nobility, it may not be able to control us."

"Not necessarily." Samwell laughed.

Daenerys suddenly felt a vast and powerful force from her husband, and at the same time, he was transformed into a blonde and golden-eyed figure.

At this moment, Caesar came into the world like a god.

Daenerys' vision was flooded with golden light.

In a trance, she only heard the roar of the white dragon, felt a kiss left by her husband on her forehead, and a sentence left in her ear:

"Kingship and divine power, why can't they be combined?"
