Chapter 1063: Sabbath
Archpriest Bennero – the most influential Red God priest in Valantis, owns the largest Red Sacred Temple in the world.
In Valantis, Benelo is the god of the people, supreme!
With the exception of a few consuls and magnates who wanted Archpriest Bennero to die, warriors and commoners, slaves and freedmen worshipped Archpriest Bennero as the son of the Red God. The words of the Archpriest Bennero are like the king's decree, and they are more effective and majestic than the king's decree.
The news of the sudden death of Archpriest Bennero shook the nine free trade city-states and many cities in the East!
The Red God Faith is the most popular deity in the Essos continent, and Archpriest Bennero died so suddenly that even a successor was not designated.
The letter was sent by Daenerys Targaryen, and she was heartbroken in her heart, inviting Will, Little Will, Arya, Tyrion Lannister, Bran Stark, and others to Valantis, where she was going to hold the greatest Sabbath for Archpriest Bennello, and to elect a new Archpriest of the Red God at the meeting.
Will read Daenerys's letter to the public at a meeting of the Imperial Ministers, along with the manager of the Iron Vault. King's Landing was rebuilt with the strong support of the Iron Vault, and in return, King's Landing's banking business was monopolized by the Iron Vault. Of course, the prime minister does not need to contribute money to take a considerable part of the bank's shares, and is one of the secret major shareholders.
"Prime Minister, I suggest you don't go for the time being. Brienne Tus said.
"Why?"
"You are the regent of Westeros, the guardian of the whole territory, and the Westeros continent worships the seven gods, not the red gods. The people also did not have a good opinion of the Red God, and the Priest Melisandre sacrificed King Robert's children to the Red God in the Red Keep, and these evils have created a very painful memory for the people of the Seven Kingdoms. ”
Bachelor Coben said he fully agreed with Brienne.
Petyr Berish, Littlefinger, also thinks that Will's status is no longer suitable to attend such a Sabbath meeting of the Red God High Priest. The High Priest of the Red God is not King Daenerys' political officer, he is not a member of the royal family, nor is he a royal official. And Will's identity is equivalent to the king of the continent of Westeros.
The status is not equal!
The little demon Tyrion Lannister also thinks that it is very inappropriate for Will to go to Valantis as the regent of Westeros, the people of Westeros believe in the Seven Gods, the Old Gods, and the Drowned God, and a very small number of people believe in the Red God.
In the end, the royal ministers were unanimously opposed to Will going to Valantis to attend the Shambabb;B of the High Pastoral.
Little Will, who has always been taciturn, stood up and said: "My lords, in our war against the Strangers in the North, Priestess Melisandre gave her life, she came here from 20,000 miles away, no matter how bad her words and deeds were, everything she did was to fight the Strangers, kill the Night King, and save the lives of everyone on the continent of Westeros. She gave her life, and about her, maybe we don't need to mention it again, let's just let it pass. “
The chattering ministers are quiet!
"In our battle with the Night King, in order to completely defeat the Night King, killing him can not be resurrected, we have to go to the Land of Eternal Winter and destroy the Altar of the Cold God, Queen Daenerys Targaryen and her three dragons have done an unparalleled great contribution to the destruction of the Altar of the Cold God, if it were not for Daenerys's three dragons, without Daenerys, we would have been killed by the Night King by now, and everyone would have become ghouls. “
Heavy breathing rang out in the conference room!
Little Will looked at Bran Stark and at Arya Stark, "Without Melisandre, Daenerys and her three dragons, the warriors of the North would have all been killed, and Winterfell would now be the stronghold of the Wraiths." ”
Arya and Bran were silent.
"Another archpriest of the Red God: Archpriest Drogo Kao, although he is no longer Kao, he led two thousand Sacred Flame Hands to the Great Wall of the North to fight side by side with us, and every time he retreated, Archpriest Drogo and his Sacred Fire Hand were broken, and in the last Hearthplace City, Drogo and his two thousand Sacred Fire Hand warriors were all killed. They are warriors from another continent, and they have come here to give their lives for us. All of us on the continent of Westeros must remember them, and their stories should be written in the annals of history, passed down from generation to generation, and never forgotten. ”
Heavy breathing sounded in the hall, and the important ministers in front of the palace were all silent.
"Melisandre, Drogo Kao, the Hand of the Flame, Daenerys, Dragons, they all have a relationship with the Red God. Xiao Wei has always been calm and silent, but this opening is like flowing water, reasonable, and evidence-based, and everyone is speechless.
Xiao Wei pulled out a long sword glowing with cyan light from his waist: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Sword of Light, because of the killing of the Night King, it has a faint luster, the Sword of Light, the power comes from the Red God." ”
Little Will held the Sword of Light, this sword looked ordinary, as if it was a very ordinary narrow blue steel sword, but as soon as this sword came out, perhaps it felt Little Will's enthusiasm, and the sword emitted heat, making people feel the heat emanating from the sword.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister. Little Will looked at his father, "We can't refuse Daenerys Targaryen's invitation just because the crisis in the north is over and Westeros is safe." The two thousand Hands of the Sacred Flame, Archpriest Drogo Kao, were all followers of Archpriest Bennero, and they also came to fight on the orders of Archpriest Bennero. The Sabbator of Archpriest Bennero, if we don't go, the knighthood of Westeros will be harmed, and we will be at odds with Essos, and will be looked down upon by the warriors who participated in this great war. This is not conducive to peace between the two continents. ”
"Okay, I've decided to go to Valantis. Will said.
"Prime Minister, what if Daenerys' men have other ideas? You don't have any griffons to fly around, and Westeros can't live without you. Tyrion Lannister said, "Alene was beheaded by the Lords, the legion was exterminated, and we all know by now that Aliane and Daenerys are both Bennero's followers, and I suspect that the massacre of White Harbor was planned by Archpriest Bennero. ”
There was a commotion in the conference room!
"Prime Minister, the war with the Strangers is over, the Altar of the Cold God has been destroyed, the north of Westeros is indeed safe, but will the east become unsafe? A narrow smile hung on his face. His metal left hand tapped lightly on the table, making a metallic crunch, "A new situation has arisen, unless the adults are sure that they can protect themselves and retreat." ”
"You don't believe Daenerys Queen Targaryen?" said Arya.
"We believe in Daenerys, but not in her generals, Daenerys still has a dragon with wings spread to cover a small town, she is the queen of the continent of Essos, her forces are far superior to ours, and our war with the Wraiths has consumed the legions and wealth of our continent, we are weak and Daenerys is strong, and Arryne's raid on White Harbor under the guise of supporting the Wraiths War is itself a bad signal. Bachelor Coben said.
"Father can find a good excuse not to go, but we must send a very solemn envoy corps, Daenerys is the queen, and her request must be respected. Will Jr. said.
The royal courtiers did not know that there was still a 'round table' in the world, and Will was the first president of the round table. However, the round table is also based on the balance of power, and once someone is strong and some are weak, or someone is secretly murdering someone, and the secret war starts for no reason, this balance will be disrupted, thus affecting the authority of the 'round table'.
The establishment of any authoritative organ is to move forward after its establishment and in the collision of various forces. It's not that the round table was set up, the contradictions were eliminated, and then everyone went up every day. That's simply not possible.
"Little Will, can your three-eyed crow see the prophecy fragments, I don't believe that Archpriest Benneiro has died, he is the son of God. Littlefinger said lightly, "I know that Pastor Melisandre has a long lifespan, at least two hundred years old. ”
Arya knew that Melisandre was at least four hundred years old with the blessing of the red god power of the ruby in her throat, and no one knew the true details of her true age.
Will estimates that Melisandre will live over a thousand years. (There is a source, not explained)
"Everyone, no matter what, for public and private reasons, I will go back this time. Will said.
"Father, since the adults are against it, let me go in your place. Little Will said calmly, "Father and Lady Arya have more important things to do. ”
Both Will and Arya could hear what Little Will was saying.
More important things?
Both Arya and Will thought of the Dragon Crystal Candle they had brought back from the school.
The Dragon Crystal Candle is the Imperial Seed, and after a thousand years have passed, the imprint left on the Dragon Crystal Candle by the Valyrian royal family has all dissipated, and Will and Arya can use the Dragon Crystal Candle to restart the Dragon Age.
Will and Arya didn't do it because Little Will had memories of the Valyrian Empire being destroyed by the gods of the continent of Thosros with fire to destroy the dragons, commonly known as the Valyrian Doomsday Catastrophe.
This discourages Will and Arya, the unknown gods are too powerful.
However, recently, the dragon crystal candle that has seen the light of day automatically shines brightly at night, as if it has been awakened by some kind of spiritual creature that wants to open its eyes to see what is going on in this world.
The Dragon Crystal Candle reacted on its own, not subject to Will and Arya's will.
If there is anything more important, it is the fact that the dragon crystal candle has a tendency to spontaneously combust.
