Chapter 0430 - Secretly Prepared Holy Sword Armament
"Brienne Tarth, Stannis I will be at the Basilica tomorrow for the Divine Prayer Conference. A monk covering his face whispered in the doorway.
The darkness of the night disguised the monk well.
"My partner was suddenly gone. "He's not going to leave me, and he's not going to leave so suddenly without leaving any news at all." ”
"Knight Hale Hunt is in a very safe place. The monk whispered, "The archbishop wants you to get ready, can you come with me now?"
"Where's Hale Hunt?" Brienne asked in a shrieked voice.
"If you believe in the word of the seven gods, come with me. Hale Hunter is in a safe place, he won't get in the way of you doing what you want to do now, can you go?"
"Let's go!" Brienne removed the sword from the wall.
"You can't wear your own armor anymore, you have to wear this. The monk took out his robe.
"I've got to put on my armor. ”
"Heart armor and legging gauntlets, all of which are found in the Baelor Chapel, are more delicate and can protect the vital parts of people, and the cloth robe can better cover them. And your armor is too big. ”
Brienne hesitated, then agreed to the monk's suggestion.
The two men hid in the darkness and headed for the Basilica of Baylor.
The monk led Brienne into the alley, into a three-story courtyard, and into the basement, pushed open a secret door, in front of which was a tunnel where torches were lit.
Brienne was secretly surprised.
She walked long behind the monk, and when she pushed open a secret door and went out, she found herself in a storeroom. Following the spiral staircase of the storeroom was a narrow passageway, and at the end of the passage was a large circular prayer room, the walls of which were covered with the Seven Sacred Statues, and in which there were many people, all with swords hanging from their waists, and wearing the same ill-fitting sackcloth robes as Brienne.
Brienne couldn't believe that so many people had gathered in this room without making a sound. These people all seem to have a good temperament and a resolute expression. Look at the hilts and scabbards of their swords, they are gorgeous and exquisite, and some of them are inlaid with precious stones.
Armed with holy swords?!
The disbanded Holy Sword Armament was actually hiding here, and there were about a hundred people in sight.
The Monk led Brienne to the front and introduced Brienne to a man with a masked face hanging from a sword hanging from his waist. The man's gaze was like a sharp sword, and on his robe was a seven-pointed star, and in the middle of the seven-pointed star were two crossed swords.
Undoubtedly, this is the holy sword arm of the Church.
"You're welcome, knight!" said the man.
Brienne was then led into another room by a knight of the Holy Sword, which was filled with robes embroidered with the Sacred Sword, and a room filled with armor and weapons.
"Do you understand your mission thoroughly? The knight motioned for Brienne to change out of her robes and put on the knight's robes.
"I understand that I am a citizen of the Seven Gods. ”
Brienne was tall, and it was only after she picked out the fifth piece that she found the right gown. Instead of putting it on immediately, she went to pick out the armor that filled the room.
None of these armors were set, but only armor parts that protected vital parts, so that they could be worn on top of the armor so that the robes armed with the holy sword could be worn without showing any traces.
The knight only allowed Brienne to choose the heart and back guards, sacrificing shoulder pads, hand pads, knee pads, and elbow pads, much to her discomfort.
"I need to practice. Brienne said to the Holy Sword Knight beside her.
"You just need to get used to it a little, tomorrow when we capture Stannis I, we will have the right to wear arms in public, and then we will no longer have to wear cloth robes, and the complete set of armor can be worn as before. The knight said.
"We wore robes this time to ambush Stannis I and capture him at the Divine Prayer Conference?"
"Yes!"
"I'm going to kill him. ”
"We're going to slaughter him, but not now. ”
"Why?"
"We need to obtain the laws of Stannis I that allow us to be armed, and we will put Stannis I on trial in public, and both the Red God and the Red Witch of his faith will be judged. We will finally execute him and the Red Witch in the square of the Great Basilica of Baylor. ”
"Judgment first?"
"Yes, the Red Witch's dark magic killed Tywin Lannister and Ranri Baratheon, these are things that need to be judged, and the world needs to see clearly the sins of the Red Witch and Stannis I. Until then, Stannis I could not die. ”
Brienne suddenly felt a boulder in her heart. She longed to kill Stannis on the spot.
"Who are you, knight?" said Brienne.
"I am a citizen of God, the Knight of the Holy Sword. ”
"Who were you before, what family, what surname?"
"I don't remember, Sir, from the moment you donned the robes armed with the Holy Sword, you also need to forget your name, your family, your title, and your fiefdom. ”
I'm not a knight armed with the Holy Sword, Brienne thought to herself, I'm just here to kill Stannis I.
"The Red Witch must be judged. Her shadow killer is dark magic. Brienne said calmly. It was Melisandre who killed Ranley Baratheon, but it was Stannis who gave the order.
Ranley Baratheon is the only true knight who respects and treats her as a noble lady.
When Ranley Baratheon first arrived in the Twilight Hall, he was so charming and empathetic, and his sincerity and kindness warmed Brienne's heart. Brienne's jagged teeth even disliked and ridiculed her father, and even the servants secretly laughed at her looks and teeth, but Ranley Baratheon's eyes only showed respect and warmth for her, and there was no disgust or dislike for her, and he affectionately called her Miss, giving her all the respect and etiquette that a noble lady should enjoy.
Ranley Baratheon was the only noble knight who respected and loved Brienne from the first sight. Brienne will never forget Ranley Baratheon.
She practiced her martial arts hard, she left the Twilight Hall alone without a single attendant, she went to the Bitter Bridge alone to participate in a tournament of hundreds of people and win the championship, all in order to get close to him and be loyal to him, Ranli Baratheon.
It was Stannis who destroyed the beauty and direction of Brienne's heart, and her heart was broken like porcelain on the ground, shattered into pieces that could no longer be glued.
Only revenge!
"Knight, you need to cut off your long hair. ”
"I don't cut it. ”
"It has to be cut. The knight removed his helmet, revealing his short hair. He lowered his head and showed Brienne the seven-pointed star and the twin sword emblems above him.
This made Brienne feel uncomfortable.
"I only cut my hair short. Brienne relented.
She could not afford to lose the opportunity to get close to Stannis I. She wants to kill him and avenge Lan Li!
"Good. The knight agreed.
Brienne is a girl, and it's not easy for her to cut her long hair. She's still a newcomer.
"How many people will Stannis bring with him tomorrow?"
"No matter how many people there are, he will not be able to escape the judgment of the seven gods. ”
