Big Sparrow clamped Aegon's shoulder with his left hand and slapped his head with his right hand. A dazzling white flame spurted out from his palm.
The white flame spread from Aegon's head down, burning all the way. His spiritual body twisted in the holy flame, and his face twisted in pain. He opened his mouth and howled, but no one could understand the sound from his soul.
However, the effect of the white flames was indeed powerful. Those black tentacles, whether they had drilled into Aegon's body or hung on him, did not escape the burning flames. Crackling, crackling, crackling, they exploded into black mist and dissipated in the white flames.
"Damn it!" Erlu cursed and asked the red-robed woman beside him with his hand on the hilt of his sword, "Can only steel weapons attack these illusions?"
"The red sword was created before steel was invented. It's very effective against deviant ghosts, but …" Aunt May said uncertainly, "Why don't you go and try?"
Erlu was bold and fearless. He pulled out the Light Emissary, which was glowing with a strange red light. His eyes were firm as he strode toward Holy Sparrow.
"Ahhh!" The Knight of Valley was furious. "Blasphemy! Blasphemy! Heathen! Believer of evil god!"
"Protect Holy Disciple Big Sparrow!" The old cultivator of Snake Wood City shouted. Then …
Uh, he was about to charge at the defense line of the Red Heart Knights when Pockmarked Face Richard slapped his forehead with the back of his sword, and he fainted.
Actually, there was no need for the believer's protection. After receiving King Aegon's soul, the stairs made of golden light went up automatically, almost as if they were running away …
Uh, illusion. It must be an illusion. How could the stairs of heaven run away!
However, when Erlu came to the fire with anger, Holy Sparrow had already brought the confused King Aegon into the gate of Mountain Paradise. He couldn't reach them.
Moreover, Holy Sparrow and Aegon didn't stay for long. After they disappeared, the milky white gate of Mountain Paradise slowly closed. The gate that looked like it was made of stone gradually faded and was about to disappear.
"Danny Alice, I know you're behind this. Come out, come out!"
Erlu waved his flaming sword, looked around, and roared.
– Will I come out and let you chop me? Danny had already seen the consequences of not running away immediately after acting tough. She didn't want to use her spirit body to resist his demonic sword again.
"Is he crazy? Why is she called Dragon Queen when she's one of the Seven Gods? "
"He's trying to twist the truth and shirk responsibility!"
"Blasphemy!"
Erlu's brave and fearless behavior deeply angered the people of the valley.
"Don't go, Holy Mother, Big Sparrow, come down and fight with the Red God King!"
Well, only the people of the valley believed in the Seven Gods, while the people of the Northern Region were just watching from the sidelines, complaining that the melons weren't ripe yet.
They were quite dissatisfied with Mountain Paradise's retreat. "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon + Buddha's Palm" was so eye-catching and unexpected, and Mountain Paradise's light and shadow were so splendid with the background music. Everybody was expecting the seven gods to teach the blasphemous King of Fire and Red Heart a lesson, but you're retreating in silence?
Danny was also very dissatisfied with the arrival of the gods this time. A thought of the Seven Gods was hurt by a dagger. Wasn't it too cowardly?
At this moment, there should be a thunderbolt from the sky, and a chain of lightning should smash Erlu, who was yelling and pulling out his sword.
Unfortunately, she couldn't do it.
The Gate of Faith at this moment consumed enough power of faith for Big Sparrow to pray devoutly for ten years!
"The Holy Father said that faith belongs to the Seven Gods, and the fight between the royal power and the secular world belongs to the believers themselves. He will only be the final judge."
Fortunately, every castle in Westeros had a Forest of Divine Trees, and every family that believed in the Seven Gods also built a sacred hall, and there were monks in every sacred hall.
After Holy Mother Danny ran away after acting tough, a follower patched up her behavior and gave a perfect explanation in line with the doctrine.
The old monk was knocked out by Richard before, and now he woke up slowly. Hearing the blasphemy of the Northern Region barbarians against the Seven Gods, he began to lecture them seriously.
"The soul of Saint Aegon has been saved by the Holy Mother from the evil gods. He has fulfilled his promise to the believers — faith belongs to the Seven Gods.
The fight against the blasphemer Stannis belongs to us, to all the believers of the Seven Gods in Westeros.
We will form an armed church, call on all the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, launch a holy war, and defend the glory of the Seven Gods! "
"Clang, clang, clang —" The sound of a large number of swords being unsheathed sounded.
Well, it was not that the people of the valley were inspired by the old monk and wanted to rebel against Erlu, but that the Red Heart Knights were so angry that they pulled out their swords and wanted to cut the old monk.
"You are threatening me, but I am not afraid!" The old man held his head high, his expression firm, and said word by word.
Aunt May raised her chin and said lightly, "It just so happens that the dragon egg needs some time to hatch, and the priests of the Seven Gods can also please the great King of Light."
Immediately, two Red Heart Knights stepped out, dragged the old monk's thin body, and threw him into the raging fire.
"Ah, Holy Mother, show us your miracles!" The old monk was bathed in fire, but he opened his arms and embraced death, loudly shouting the name of the Holy Mother.
Even though the Shadow Touch slithered over like a snake, wrapped around his body, and extracted his soul, his eyes were still firm and fearless. He firmly believed that the Holy Mother would not let him down. Even the fake prince Aegon could go to heaven, so he must be more pious than Aegon, and more loved by the Holy Mother!
Such a firm soul made Lahlo even happier. The eggshell in Aunt May's hand quickly fell off, revealing a monster the size of a kitten.
Mountain Paradise did not appear again.
Sorry, Holy Mother Danny went offline …
She could not hear or see.
Even if she could hear or see, she would not save him, because his soul was not worth saving.
Saving Aegon was not because of how pious Aegon was, but because he was related to the Seven Gods, which meant that he got in through the back door!
Most of the time, it was so sad to place one's hopes completely on the gods!
Therefore, a gentleman must constantly strive for self-improvement!
It was better to rely on oneself than on the gods.
.....
"The Demon Dragon, a Demon Dragon really hatched?! “
The old cultivator was a nobody with no background. His soul fell into the Evil God's hell in despair, but it only shocked and saddened the others for a while.
Soon, the birth of the Demon Dragon attracted everyone's attention.
"Demon Dragon, this is the great Light King's gift to the Child of Prophecy!"
Finally, her wish of hatching the Demon Dragon was fulfilled. Aunt May held the baby dragon up high in excitement.
"Demon Dragon!" Erlu's eyes were filled with passion. He took a few steps forward, reached out his hand, and gently stroked the black dragon's head that did not even open its eyes.
Feeling the scalding temperature of the dragon's head, Erlu excitedly announced, "It's the resurrected Black Death God, Black Death God Bellerion!"
Er, in Westeros, Bellerion was deeply rooted in people's hearts like this.
"Bang —"
"Ah —"
While he was excited, Erlu felt a hot, wet pain in his palm. When he looked again, he was shocked to see that the newborn Demon Dragon's head had exploded.
It was as if a firecracker had been stuffed into its head.
"What, what's going on?"
Then, something even more terrifying happened. The little dragon with black and red scales decayed visibly. Its scales fell off, its flesh rotted, and maggots as thick as a finger crawled out of its organs.
Before they could crawl out completely, the white maggots trembled and died.
Under everyone's dumbfounded gaze, the newborn dragon turned into a puddle of stinky black blood.
Aunt May held the sticky and cold corpse water. Her expression was blank, and she did not know what to do.
Erlu's face was pale. Despair and pain flashed across his eyes.
"No, no, it shouldn't be like this!" The red-robed woman muttered to herself. Then, she brought the stinky black, red, and yellow corpse water to her mouth and drank it in one gulp.
Oh, not in one gulp. She held it in her mouth and used her pink tongue to lick and taste it.
"Gulp —" In the end, she swallowed the liquid and smiled bitterly. "It died long ago. It died hundreds of years ago."
This was a dead egg. It had lost its vitality more than a hundred years ago, so it was forgotten by Targaryen in the dragon cave.
Lahlo answered the prayers of the believers and hatched the stone egg. He did it. He brought a corpse that had been dead for a hundred years to the human world.
It was also because it had been dead for more than a hundred years that it rotted so quickly in Melisandre's hands.
But Erlu was unwilling to accept this result.
"You said that a Demon Dragon can be hatched from a stone, not a rotten dragon corpse that has been dead for a hundred years."
Aunt May could not give an answer. She could only look for Lahlo in the flames for inspiration.
Lahlo really responded to her.
By the fireplace, Aunt May said dejectedly, "Other than Danny and Rize, no one can bring a dead Megalosaurus back to the human world."
"Why? Is the great King of Light inferior to a mere mortal?! "Erlu's eyes were bloodshot.
"Danny and Rize are not mortals. She usurped the position of the Seven Gods and is a demigod herself. She also has a special talent. It was not an accident that she could hatch a dragon. It was the mission given to her by God to bring a Megalosaurus back to the human world."
"If that is the case, then choose her as the savior!" Erlu's voice was full of resentment. "You have always said that only with the help of the Demon Dragon can we end the long night. Now that I am destined to not have a Megalosaurus, what kind of child of prophecy am I?"
Two days had passed since the day of the sacrifice. Sansa and Jon in the Moon Gate Castle received the news and rushed back.
After learning that Aegon had died tragically, Sansa fainted on the spot. When she woke up, she looked at Erlu's eyes … Erlu, who had always been strong-willed, could not help but feel his heart tremble a few times. He avoided that extremely venomous gaze.
Jon's reaction was also unexpectedly fierce.
If it was not for the fact that he had confirmed repeatedly that Aegon's soul had returned to the Seven Gods' Paradise, Jon would have led the Northerners away from Erlu's team. Actually, the two of them were basically in a team now. If it was not for the fact that they had a common enemy in Cersei, they would have gone their separate ways long ago.
If he could hatch the Demon Dragon, the price he paid would have been worth it. However, he had offended Jon and Sansa, and he had come out empty-handed. He only received endless hatred and curses. This made Erlu very frustrated.
Aunt May looked hesitant. "Actually, there is another way to obtain an adult demigod-level Demon Dragon."
"An adult demigod-level Demon Dragon?" Erlu opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief, "Is there such a Demon Dragon in this world?"
"Yes, and it is in your hands," Aunt May said softly.
"Speak more clearly," Erlu said with a frown.
Aunt May's eyes flashed with an excited red light. Her red lips said softly, "Dragon Binder!"
"Dragon Binder?" Erlu frowned. "Isn't that the horn?"
"There is a dragon soul in the horn, Varghal!" Aunt May emphasized excitedly, "Not Varghal of the Targaryen family, but one of the three oldest Megalosaurus in this era, Varghal!"
"What's the use of just one dragon soul?"
"A soul and a corpse. Your Majesty, what have you thought of?" Aunt May said with a strange smile.
Resurrection!
Jon was resurrected in this way.
Erlu's eyes were deep. He remembered the Dragon Queen's mocking words to him that day in the Wolfswood. "Jon, who was resurrected by Lahlo, is the real Child of Prophecy. You are just cannon fodder in the king's vanguard. Maybe all your efforts will be taken advantage of by him."
"Is Jon Stark the Child of Prophecy?"
