"Roar —" While the Lanlister brothers were still in shock, a loud and violent beast roar suddenly sounded from the sky outside the house.
"Megalosaurus? It doesn't look like one, and it's not a pterosaur either. "Tyrion was puzzled.
"It's Stannis's two-headed demon dragon!" Jaime exclaimed.
The two of them immediately climbed down from the warm and comfortable brick bed.
When they climbed up the watchtower, they saw the two-headed demon dragon rolling and struggling crazily in the sky above Aegon Hill in the east. From time to time, it would spit out dark red dragon flames and purple venom.
Its movements were chaotic, and the dragon flames would even burn itself.
It was like a big black fish that had swallowed a fish hook and was being dragged to the shore.
Jaime's eyes were ordinary, and he could not even see the demon dragon clearly from a few kilometers away.
On the other hand, a vertical dark red double pupil gradually appeared in the dwarf's heterochromatic pupils. He adjusted the focus and zoomed in … He could see the demon dragon clearly.
It was a little over twenty-five meters long, and its dirty green and yellowish-white scales gave off a feeling of feces, like an albino black person.
One of its two heads was bigger than the other. The big one was similar to a normal pterosaur and also had a beak. The small one was thin and short, only as thick as a horse's neck. Even with the head as big as an elephant's head, it was less than five meters long.
The neck and head of a normal Megalosaurus and pterosaur accounted for one-third of the total body length.
The small head's face was also abnormally deformed. Its mouth was between the nose and the eyes, and its eyes were slanted. One of them was as big as a bowl, and the other was so narrow that it could not open … It looked like a wax figure that had been melted by high temperature.
But the dragon flames were spat out from the small head's mouth.
Half of it was dark red flames, and the other half was thick black smoke. It looked even more terrifying than real dragon flames.
"The two-headed demon dragon has gone crazy. The mage in the Red Fort is trying to control it with his will. I don't know if it's Melisandre. But it can't be suppressed anymore. The demon dragon is about to break free. "Tyrion seemed to be deep in thought.
Jaime's complexion changed. He leaned over and shouted to the Western Region people on the city wall: "Quick, set up the Dragon Slaying Crossbows, change the Dragon Crystal Arrows, and switch to the steel crossbows."
Because of the existence of the Evil God of Frost, the castles of the Seven Kingdoms had prepared ballistas on the city walls. Those who were able to afford it even used Dragon-slaying Crossbows that were effective against the Megalosaurus.
However, the crossbow bolts were replaced with brittle and hard dragon crystals.
"Clang, clang, clang …"
The cultivators of the Great Cathedral also sensed the danger. The bell rang again, this time even more urgently.
At the same time, the seven Towers of Radiance suddenly lit up. They were extremely resplendent, like seven golden crows descending into the mortal world. Almost half of the King's Landing was illuminated.
Along with the Holy Light came a divine pressure that was as majestic as the sea. Even Tyrion who was two kilometers away felt a prickling sensation on his back.
The dwarf's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "The cultivator's brain is quite nimble, you know how to use your divine might to chase away the devil dragon.
This skill and this brain are much better than back then when I first grasped great power, but I was still clueless when it came to matters of the Extraordinary. "
"Roar!" The devil dragon finally broke free from its invisible restraints. It roared furiously, and its eyes lit up with an explosive and chaotic red light. It swooped over the ground, leaving behind a dark red scar on Aegon's hill.
"Dong!"
The sound of the bell drowned out the beast's roar. The Holy Light gathered by the cultivators swelled, making the devil dragon feel fear.
It ran away.
It ran to the Reyness Hills in the northwest. Dragon flames and venom sprayed out wantonly, leaving behind seven or eight destructive scars and countless miserable howls and curses. It was hit by a dozen arrows as well. With a sorrowful cry, it staggered towards the north.
Jaime's expression was strange. "The Reyness Hills are filled with Red God believers and Red Monks. Their Lahlo didn't come out to chase away the devil dragon? I remember that the devil dragon was created by Lahlo using Blood Shaman Arts. "
When Erlu and You Lun fought over the King's Landing, they burned the Reyness Hills to the ground.
Because Saint Matthew had followed the example of Moses and led most of the refugees from King's Landing to the Land of Storms, most of the houses in King's Landing were left vacant.
In order to better defend against the deviant ghosts, the local residents of King's Landing, regardless of whether they were nobles or civilians, began to gather in the Visania Hills where the Great Cathedral was located.
Later, the Red God priests of the cities of Ursus brought the Hand of Sacred Fire to the King's Landing, and the empty Reyness Hills became their residence and station.
Well, the Red God priests guarded two of the four walls of the King's Landing, and the other two were guarded by the church's armed forces and the vassals who believed in the Seven Gods.
For example, the camp of the soldiers of the Western Region was near the Lion's Gate in the southwest.
When the two-headed devil dragon disappeared from sight, Tyrion's pupils returned to normal. He said thoughtfully, "Who is the rider of the devil dragon?"
"When Stannis was alive, he often rode the dragon out of the city to burn deviant ghosts. After he died, no one has seen the devil dragon since, "Jaime said.
"What about Mia the First? She is Stannis's successor, but she didn't inherit uncle's devil dragon? "Tyrion asked again.
"Dong dong dong —"
Before he finished speaking, the bell of the Great Cathedral rang again, a total of seven times.
"It should have been a warning to the people that the devil dragon is out of control. What's going on now?" Jaime was puzzled.
Tyrion smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the king has really passed away this time."
As expected, a servant came to report that the Red God Queen, Mia Baratheon the First, had failed to tame the Mystic Dragon and had died.
"Duke, the Earl of Rainforest (Onion Knight) invites you to the Red Keep to attend the king's funeral."
That afternoon, before the news of the king's death in taming the dragon could spread among the people of King's Landing, a messenger from the Red Keep came.
"So soon?" Jaime frowned.
"The funeral is just a pretext. With the death of the old king, a new king is born. They most likely want you to witness the coronation of the new king," the dwarf said with a smile.
After he finished speaking, he suddenly took a few steps forward and carefully looked at the tall knight with the family emblem of a white gold coin on his chest.
A hint of shyness from the past could be seen on his resolute and handsome square face. The simplicity in his blue eyes was also oddly familiar to him.
Tyrion patted the knight's shoulder and sighed, "Kid, in the blink of an eye, you've grown so big! And you've even become a duke? "
"Sir, you don't seem to have changed much," the knight said with a smile.
"Irene Pine didn't leave behind any children, and the Pine family's close relatives also died in the hands of the deviant ghosts. I let Bodrick inherit Pine's title and fief," Jaime explained.
Then, he asked, "Is it just me, or are all the vassals invited?"
Bodrick stopped smiling and said seriously, "It's not just the vassals. Holy Light Lone Hand has already arrived at the Red Keep.
I'm guessing that the Earl of Rainforest personally went to the Great Cathedral before inviting the vassals. "
"Hmm, I guess it really has something to do with the new king."
"Bodrick, go and arrange the troops," he ordered.
"Right, are you going?" He looked at the dwarf.
"Of course, how can I not participate in such a grand event? “
Bodrick received the order and left. Tyrion said with a smile, "Holy Light Lone Hand can't be that cousin of ours, right? What a lousy name. "
Jaime nodded and called the old granny to take Little Tywin away. He then had the attendant put on the Golden Lion Armor for him and explained, "After Saint Matthew left for the east, the position of archbishop of the Holy Cathedral has been empty. There's no archbishop who can convince the masses.
Archbishop John of the Starry Cathedral is brave enough to take on the role, but now the archbishops of the Great Cathedral of Baylor are all from the Great Sparrow faction.
Because of the matter of the church's bank in the early years, both sides have always been at odds.
Archbishop John is only a mid-ranked level-three priest.
He can barely make it into the top ten of the Great Cathedral. "
"I remember that Lancel used to be a warrior's son, right?" Tyrion wondered.
"He's missing an arm, and he's known as the Warrior's Son, but he didn't become a Paladin. He's always been a Priest." Speaking of this, James couldn't help but lower his head to look at his golden right hand.
Perhaps when Little Tywin comes of age, he could learn from Lancel and Randall and give up his title to wear a colorful cloak?
Or maybe try to become a priest?
After becoming a priest, he could continue to protect Lannister and Casterly Rock!
After a while, Jaime said, "Lancel was able to become an archbishop thanks to the Holy Mother's blessing.
Three years ago, he followed a group of warrior's sons out of the city to clean up the ghouls, but after the resurrection of the King of Wraiths, the ghouls became more cunning.
They grasped the movement patterns of the church's armed forces and set up traps to ambush humans.
Seeing his church members dying one by one in front of him while he used up all his divine spell slots, Lancel was in extreme pain and despair.
Tears of blood flowed from his eyes as he called out to the Holy Mother, praying for a miracle.
Then, in the dark, he saw the Holy Mother.
The Holy Mother told him that as long as he understood, he would be able to create a miracle.
The ghoul grinned and swung a sword of ice at his neck. In an instant, Lancel's time slowed down. He remembered his childhood, when the sun shone on his face — "
"Wait!" The dwarf couldn't help but interrupt, "Even if legends need artistic embellishment, isn't it a little too ridiculous to remember his childhood when he's about to lose his life?"
Jaime glared at him, "Lancel told me himself. He had a sudden epiphany at the brink of death. He recalled his entire life in an instant and became a level-four priest on the spot. He was lucky enough to learn the rarest level-four divine spell, the Holy Mother's Palm."
"When he used the Holy Mother's Palm, his entire arm was covered in holy light, so everyone called him the 'Holy Hand'.
Because he became a level-four priest, and because the Holy Mother's Palm represented the Holy Mother's blessing, the monks chose him as their archbishop.
After becoming archbishop, Lancel decided to follow the example of the Great Sparrow and Seven Treasures. The two sages gave up their original names, and he changed his name to 'One Hand'. "
"Fuck!"
That was all the dwarf could say at this moment.
Jaime put on his sword belt and sighed, "It's different now. It's clear who's stronger.
A priest's level is determined by their devotion to the seven gods and their understanding of the church's teachings. They can no longer be promoted to archbishop through connections.
Not to mention the archbishop, even the local nobles would not allow the archbishops and the abbot of the Holy Church of the various dioceses if their level was too low.
Previously, the Great Cathedral of Berea only arranged for a level-two priest in Casterly Rock. Even if Jimmy's grandmother was a distant relative of Lannister, I still told him to get lost.
After praying for a day, a level-three priest will get ten times more divine spell slots than a level-two priest. "
Jaime made a 'ten' with his index fingers.
"A difference of ten times is enough to change the outcome of a war. Moreover, there are many high-level divine spells that low-level priests can't use at all, such as the 'Mighty Heavenly Dragon' that increases the morale of the entire army. "
"Let me bring a level-three priest back to 12 years ago. I'm confident that I can defeat Robb, whether he's a shapeshifter or not."
— — In an era when the Law Sea was broken and other Extraordinaries could only rely on the King of Gods' Cauldron to live, the priests of the seven gods who still enjoyed 'unlimited traffic' were indeed bugs! But 12 years ago, even the Holy Mother didn't appear, so giving you a level-five priest would be useless!
The dwarf secretly rolled his eyes.
