Chapter 0429: The Divine Prayer Conference: The Hongmen Feast of the Cannabis Sparrow
"Sir Hale Hunt. ”
"I am!" Haile Hunter smiled as he looked at the monk in front of him. The monk was dressed in patched clothes, barefoot, and the seven stars on the placket were dazzling.
"Sir Brienne Tass invites you to dine in the Dumb Room. ”
"Oh, well, can the monk show me the way?"
"It is my honour to serve the knights. The monk said humbly.
Hale Hunt followed the monk to the Hall of Mutes, where he did not see Brienne Tass.
"I didn't see Brienne. ”
She is still receiving the blessing in the archbishop's silent room, which will be coming soon. The monk said.
The monk led Haile Hunt to a table, where a variety of exquisite dishes and meats were served, as well as the wines of Qingting Island, which Haile Hunt liked. A crystal plate with some crushed ice. Fruit and honey were also placed on the long table.
"Please slow down, Sir Brienne Tass will be there soon. The monk humbly gestured, and then withdrew.
Hale Hunt was not a polite man, in fact he was very rude and had no respect for the Seven Gods. He believes that whether it is the Seven Gods or the Red God, they are all powerful techniques in the hands of wizards to play with people's hearts. As for sorcery, it's dark magic.
Hale Hunt began to feast.
Before his stomach was full, Hale Hunt felt as if he had become different, something was shaking in front of his eyes, and he looked at it and everything was normal.
"Didn't you get a good night's rest last night?" he laughed to himself, and continued to drink, looking out the door, "Why hasn't Brienne come yet? Wait, it doesn't seem right, how did I float, how did my body get lighter......"
Rumble!
Hale Hunt collapsed, unconscious.
The two sparrows came out, expressionless, and they disarmed Hale Hunt, took off his armor, and then put Hale Hunt in their same linen coat, and cut Hale Hunt's hair as short as they did, and then dragged Hale Hunt away.

Brienne Tath took her leave from the Archbishop's office and went to the front of the Templar Retreat to find Hale Hunt. The monk told her that Hale Hunt was gone, and that he felt that he had waited a little too long for her, and that he decided to go back to his lodgings and wait for her.
"That guy must be a drunkard again. Brienne Tarth didn't think much of it, she was an absolute believer in the monks and the seven gods, she was a simple and pious girl, she was not good enough, she was more than honest, and then she said goodbye to the monks and left the Basilica of Baylor.

Inside the Red Keep, Stannis was pacing around impetuously, most of his courtiers and generals had already gone on the expedition, Davos, Count of Onion, Thoros the red-robed monk, Allister Floren, the Minister of Justice, and so on, and the six thousand Black Armor Army in King's Landing were the only armed forces in the city. The Kingsguard and the Mercenary Warriors are his personal guards.
Stannis I was irritated not by the uneasiness of the city's empty forces, but by the fact that Will had not come to King's Landing to swear allegiance to him, and had not replied.
He urgently needs capable people to establish an intelligence network, and reach out to the other side of the Narrow Sea, and he hopes to grasp the situation of the major free trade city-states. Especially the exact news of the mercenary corps with dragons.
It was the dragon that really unnerved Stannis I.
He hadn't thought of a way to destroy the dragon for the time being.
He needed Will.
A man with the Faceless Alien abilities.
If he can't build up an intelligence network in the short term, Will has the ability to assassinate the Targaryens across the Narrow Sea. If he is willing to join forces with Melisandre, he can strangle the dragon at an early age. The Targaryens who have lost their dragon are like tigers that have lost their teeth and claws, and they are vulnerable.
"Keep writing to Will. Stannis shouted.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Pelos busied.
"Hurry, order him to rush to King's Landing immediately, 100,000 urgent. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
Can!
After a soft knock on the door, Barristan Selmy, the captain of the Kingsguard, pushed the door open, "Your Majesty, the young bishop of the Great Basil of Baylor asks to see you." ”
Stannis glanced at Melisandre on the side, "Let him in." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
The young bishop walked in with a bowed head and a humble expression.
Stannis I sat on the high chair and looked condescendingly at the bishop.
"Your Majesty, the Archbishop will hold a prayer assembly tomorrow for the victory of His Majesty's southern expedition, and the Archbishop and our seven archbishops and hundreds of believers all hope to see His Majesty in the Seven Holy Churches. The young bishop handed the archbishop's letter to Barristan Selmi.
Barristan Selmy took the letter and handed it to Stannis I.
Stannis I resisted the urge to throw the letter into the brazier, and he patiently opened it, glanced at it, and said, "Got it." ”
"Your Majesty, at tomorrow's Divine Prayer Conference, will we, the pious people, be able to see Your Majesty's majestic figure?"
"I'll come. Stannis I waved his hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the young bishop bowed and withdrew, nodding to Melisandre.
Melisandre's scrutinizing eyes never left the young bishop.
"What do you think, Lady Melisandre, the Divine Prayer Assembly of the Seven Holy Churches?" said Stannis I.
"Your Majesty, I have not seen a prophecy of danger in the flames. Melisandre said.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to lead the Seven Iron Guards of the Imperial Forest into the Sanctuary tomorrow to protect Your Majesty and the Queen. Barristan said, bowing.
"If anything, there will be fewer of you. "There are too many sparrows. ”
"Both the Holy Sword and the Holy Aegis have been disarmed. Stannis I said.
"It is true that it has all been lifted, but what if that is only a superficial phenomenon? There are quite a few homeless people in the flea nest and refugees who have taken refuge in the riverlands, and these people take up arms, that is, they are armed. Melisandre said.
"How, according to you?"
"Tomorrow, in addition to all the Kingsguards, I will ask the commander of the garrison, Berry Dondelion, to lead a thousand Black Armor troops to form a battle formation outside the square of the Great Basilica of Baylor to show their might. Melisandre said.
"Otherwise, you can go tomorrow too. Stannis said to Melisandre, "It's not suitable, but you're my mentor, and I can tell from the Sparrow's reaction how loyal he is to me." ”
"I am a thorn in the side of the believers of the Seven Gods, and if I go, their prayer meetings will not be able to proceed. Melisandre laughed upside down, "Your Majesty, I will pray for you in the Megar Tower." Tonight, too, I will pray to the Red God to see what the flame can tell us. ”
