"My lord Lahlo is not an evil god!" Melisandre said coldly.
There were more than twenty thousand Red God believers who participated in the final battle. Of course, not all of them had died, and now they had an important seat in the meeting.
If Theon Bella was still alive, the leader of the Red God priests would be the king, but now it was Melisandre who sat below Lancel.
"Sorry, I'm used to it." Tyrion smiled at her. "To the believers of the Seven Gods, Lahlo is an evil god, but in the overall situation, he barely qualifies.
In the final battle, he secretly contributed a lot, so he's much stronger than a real evil god.
Of course, you have to inform him to register with Qizang as soon as possible. If he doesn't enter the Investiture of the Gods, he can't be considered a true god. "
Aunt May snorted and didn't say anything else.
"Actually, the little devil's words are not crude. It's his choice to believe in a god, and he should bear the consequences, "Matus Rowan said slowly.
"Indeed, if he believed in the Seven Gods honestly, he wouldn't have been possessed by an evil … Lahlo." Jaime sighed.
Everyone else chimed in as well.
Erlu's virtue of being introverted was not favored by the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. When Robert was still on the throne, he had no reputation among the nobles and the common people, let alone now that he had killed his brother and daughter.
Seeing this, despair and sorrow slowly crept onto Davos's old face.
Sansa smiled as if she was satisfied with the result, but she glanced at Margaery secretly. The Onion Knight is still lacking, it's your turn to assist.
"You can't say that." Margaery stood up under everyone's surprised gaze and pointed at Lancel, who had been silent all this time. "If it's the archbishop who represents the Seven Gods to judge Stannis, it's not a problem at all.
I'm not targeting Duke Jon.
Everyone, please think about it. If a lord in the future becomes delirious or is under the control of evil spirits, should his vassals immediately free him, or should they subdue him and hand him over to the cultivators to deal with? "
"This …" The vassal was stunned, looking at Margaery with bewilderment.
First of all, her attitude made them feel strange. What good would it do her to offend the Northern Ice King and the current Queen? It was definitely not for the sake of justice, nor was it for the sake of Stannis.
Secondly, what she said seemed to make sense.
Of course, the patient would want to be taken to the doctor for treatment instead of being buried by his subordinates.
"Margaery, don't be an alarmist!" Queen Sansa scolded.
Margaret bowed to the Queen and solemnly said, "I'm not deliberately targeting anyone, but there's something that everyone has overlooked.
After this Long Night, the structure of the world will change greatly, and supernatural forces will participate in our lives more and more frequently.
The queen had also said before that more attention should be paid to magic talents and that the City of Learning system should be reformed.
It was conceivable that there would be more Extraordinaires in the future than there were scholars in the past. The nobles might have more frequent contact with them than with scholars.
For example, in today's Riverbend, almost every earl has a small magic school, and Dragonstone Island has an advanced magic academy.
There are many mage professions that are beneficial to humans in the academy, such as high-energy potioneers, scalpel priests, mechanical wildfire specialists, weather forecasters, pest toxicologists, plant and animal breeders, magic blacksmiths who forge special materials … "
Margaery looked around. "Let me ask, who can leave a mage in the future?
Now that our horizons have been broadened, we also know that Yashar has terrifying professions such as necromancers, soul wizards, blood wizards, and so on.
I'm a priest, and Her Majesty the Queen is also a priest. With the protection of the Holy Mother, we're naturally not afraid of evil curses.
But it's very easy to disturb the curses of ordinary lords. Are we supposed to kill the cursed lords immediately?
Today, we're not only putting Duke Jon on trial, but also establishing a system, a new tradition. Our future generations will remember the results of today's trial, and then when they encounter similar incidents, they will imitate the trial process. "
The vassals in the hall looked at each other. Some were at a loss, while others had serious expressions.
"We're not stupid. A lord losing his mind is completely different from Stannis being Blessed by Lahlo," the dwarf said with a forced smile.
He was smart enough to notice that something was wrong with Margaery.
He didn't dare to make any more guesses.
This time, no one responded to him. Even Jaime's brows were furrowed, as if he had encountered something extremely difficult.
"Archbishop, what do you say?" Sansa looked at Lancel hesitantly.
Holy Light sighed. "Faith and education belong to the Church. We swear to protect our believers from evil. Our priests and paladins have the ability to deal with such incidents.
So, I hope that in the future, if there are any commoners or nobles who lose their mind, or are controlled or cursed, they won't be killed immediately if they can be controlled. Let us deal with them.
Under the Holy Mother's witness, the priests usually don't have obvious political leanings. At least, they won't use divine spells to kill the innocent. "
"Archbishop, you're right. We all trust the Church," Margaery said immediately.
The nobles nodded silently.
It was obvious that when they encountered something like this, they all hoped that they could be treated by the priests instead of being beheaded by a vassal and their corpses burned to ashes.
Queen Sansa said awkwardly, "Archbishop's words can become a rule for future generations. But Jon and Stannis's incident is the first. We should treat it differently. "
"Your Majesty, it's because it's the first that we have to treat it seriously!" Margaery shouted.
This time, the dwarf didn't defend his nephew. Instead, he looked back and forth between Margaery and Sansa with a strange gaze.
Sansa said in a low voice, "In the last battle, Jon contributed greatly!"
Jon looked at his sister with a complicated expression. He suddenly sighed and turned to the Onion Knight. "Earl of Rainforest, what do you want me to do?"
Wu was never stupid. If the dwarf could sense that something was wrong, so could he.
"I, I don't know." Davos shook his head blankly.
Ever since he knew that Queen Sansa was determined to protect her brother, he had the idea of dying to repay her kindness. When Queen Sansa and the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms opposed the trial of the Arctic King, he would challenge the Arctic King to a duel and let the Seven Gods decide everything.
Whether or not the Seven Gods were on his side, he could at least tell everyone that Stannis was wronged.
As for what punishment to give to Jon, he didn't even think about it. He didn't dare to think about it.
When Margaery spoke up for him and used her sharp words to tilt the situation in his favor, the Onion Knight was stunned.
He even suspected that the Seven Gods heard his prayers and arranged for their followers to help him.
"Archbishop, and my lords," Jon turned to the others. "If I confess, what sentence will you give me?"
"Jon, you are not guilty! I am the queen. If I say you are not guilty, you are not guilty, "Sansa said anxiously.
Jon lowered his head and didn't look at her. He only said calmly, "I am guilty."
Sansa opened her mouth to speak. She looked to Tyrion for help.
The dwarf sighed and closed his eyes. He didn't say anything.
He respected Davos' choice.
"Archbishop?" Jon asked Lancel again.
Shengguang One-Handed said hesitantly, "With the Duke's achievements, no matter what the crime is, it is enough to make up for it."
With a sincere expression, Jamu nodded in agreement, "Yeah, you've never rested during the eight years of the war against ghosts. You've been fighting on the frontlines, slaying countless deviant ghosts, including nearly ten Evil Ice Gods.
The honor you received can wash away any sin.
Plus, killing Stannis wasn't a big mistake.
If it were me, if he dared to touch my brother-in-law, I would have stabbed him with my sword. It wasn't easy for you to endure until then. "
The dwarf looked up at his brother with a strange expression.
Wasn't Jaime's brother-in-law himself?
Mathews Rowan glanced at Little Rose. "Perhaps we can have Duke Jon repent in the Cathedral, just like Lady Margaery."
Margaery's expression was ugly.
However, no one cared about her expression.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Alaine nodded. "Margaery also committed the crime of murdering a king. Today, we will follow the precedent."
The others nodded in agreement.
Sansa's eyes darkened.
Margaery saw the queen's gaze and said loudly, "I am different from Duke Jon. My punishment came from Cersei, the victim's family. I am the plaintiff.
If killing a king only took five years of hard work, who would still have a heart of respect? "
Hearing this, everyone's expression twisted. Are you saying that Cersei should have killed you back then?
Don't forget, the Grey Guards were also the plaintiffs!
Lancel said, "Sir Davos, you are the plaintiff now. What punishment do you think is appropriate?"
Davos nodded hesitantly. "Perhaps —"
Margaery looked at his expression and guessed that the Onion Knight was going to be lenient. She immediately interrupted, "Earl of Rainforest, you are only the plaintiff's representative. Lady Selis is still alive!"
"Margaery, what's wrong with you today?" Alaine couldn't help but ask.
Everyone knew that Celis was crazy and wanted to eat Jon alive. How could she let him go to the Holy Church to repent and atone for his sins?
Margaery waved her hands in front of her. "I am not targeting anyone. You just have to use my case as a reference. I don't dare to lie to everyone. I have to speak the truth.
If you think my words are unreasonable, you can pretend I didn't say anything. After all, I am just a small earl. "
Alaine was speechless.
This Margaery was too good at talking.
Davos suddenly regretted.
Perhaps, he shouldn't have jumped out today. Things were already out of his control …
In the awkward Silence, Jon sighed. "Earl Clinton, can you arrange for a Winged Dragon Knight to go to King's Landing and bring Lady Selis here?"
After Old Barton left the Westeros, Old Helplessness took over his position and became the leader of the Dawn Warriors (Winged Dragon Knights and Tile Steel Army).
Erlu originally had a group of Winged Dragon Knights. Unfortunately, after the appearance of the Evil Ice God, King's Landing lost its air superiority. Almost all of them lost their lives in the battle to defend King's Landing.
The remaining few Winged Dragon Knights also changed their faith and joined the neutral force, the Dawn Warriors.
The Dawn Warriors were stationed at Dragonstone Island. It was the safest place.
After the Megalosaurus left, there were also wizard towers protecting the airspace.
After Erlu died, the Magic Dragon went out of control. The Red God Knights gradually lost control of their Winged Dragons. In order to protect their mounts, they could only change their faith to the Seven Gods and become Holy Knights. Otherwise, they would have to give up their Winged Dragons.
For example, Davos needed to deal with the Red God Priestess, so he gave his Winged Dragons to his youngest son, Steve.
His fifth and sixth son were believers of the Red God. He, his wife and his seventh son were devout believers of the Seven Gods.
.....
"Are you sure?" Old Helplessness was surprised.
"We can't avoid her in the trial of her husband's case." Jon sighed.
Old Helplessness sighed and called a Fire Mage to send a message to Dragonstone Island.
Half a day later, Steve brought a white-haired old woman with a sinister face.
"Pay with his life. I want him to pay with his life for my husband. Hahaha! The Light King bless us. The ingrate Jon Snow has finally received his retribution! "Selis's eyes were wild as she laughed like an owl.
