"Tell me the truth. Is Jon Stark the Child of Prophecy?"
"What?" Erlu's question came too suddenly, and Aunt May was at a loss for a moment.
"Danny Reese once told me that Jon Stark, who was resurrected from the dead, is the Child of Prophecy, and I am just … like how Illyrio treated Danny Reese and Viseris, they are just the pawns of the fake Aegon, paving the way for the 'True King'."
Erlu's gaze was not sharp, and his tone was not strict.
However, his pupils were almost imprinted into Melisandre's red eyes, and his words were as direct as a sword, not beating around the bush at all.
"I once thought that he was." Aunt May could not hide it. After all, the talkative Dragon Queen had told Erlu everything.
"I was wrong." She smiled bitterly. "You know, there are prophecies in the flames, but most of them are illusions to deceive people.
The night is long, and there are dangers everywhere. The evilness of the human heart is even greater than the cold geography of the North.
The Great Wall is the territory of the EsGod, and my divination was disrupted by the servant of the God of Frost.
He tried to make me give up on the real Child of Prophecy, which is you, and instead waste my energy and time on a believer of the EsGod, so as to avoid the ending of the night by the Savior.
Fortunately, the great King of Light guided me out of the wrong path and prevented the world from falling into eternal calamity. "
Melisandre was not lying. She really thought that her mistake was related to the Three-Eyed Crow.
Lahlo held the final right to interpret the prophecy. If he said that it was an illusion, then it was an illusion. Only the revelation that he acknowledged was a revelation.
It was not that he wanted to deceive Aunt May. If he could, he would directly tell her all the secrets related to Jon, as well as the deviations in the predetermined destiny.
Just like Dani, she knew a lot of secrets and often shared them with her underlings. If you did not make things clear, how could your followers accurately understand what you meant and complete the mission perfectly?
However, Lahlo was too far away from the material world previously, making it difficult for him to communicate directly with his believers.
Most of the time, the messages Lahlo sent to Aunt May were misinterpreted by her.
The prophecy couldn't be wrong, only the interpretation of the prophecy was wrong.
Erlu took a deep look at the priestess and reluctantly accepted her explanation.
After confirming his identity as the Child of Prophecy once again, he began to ask about the Mages' Dragon mount that was part of the "Savior Equipment Set".
"The body of the dragon soul in the horn has been dead for thousands of years. How can it be revived?"
"We have pterosaurs."
"Pterosaur?" Erlu asked doubtfully. "What's the point of reviving a pterosaur?"
"Have you read Friar Bath's' The Unnatural History of the Dragon '?" Aunt May asked.
Erlu pursed his lips and said impatiently, "That book is very famous. I've heard of it before, but the content of the book is absurd and evil. It was banned by Saint Bailey."
"It's not absurd. The Targaryens moved to Dragonstone Island four hundred years ago. When they left Valleglia, of course, they did not forget the family's collection of books that had been accumulated over thousands of years.
Many of Valleglia's secrets were recorded in those books. For example, the masonry techniques used to build Dragonstone Island and the magic arcane techniques used to mine volcanoes.
For example, the secret of the origin of the Mages.
Friar Bath was once the manager of the royal library and was a close friend of King Rui. He had the opportunity to come into contact with those rare books.
Therefore, 'The Unnatural History of the Dragon' has a high reference value.
If Friar Bath dared to publish such a book before Valleglia was destroyed, not only would he not be able to survive, even the Targaryens would be implicated. "
"What's the point of saying this now? Those books have been burned by Saint Bailey long ago, "Erlu said impatiently.
If you had read that book, you wouldn't be asking so many questions now.
Aunt May sighed inwardly and said directly, "The Mages of this era were born from blood witchcraft. The ancestors of Valleglia fused pterosaurs and dragonworms to form the first Megalosaurus.
After that, the first Megalosaurus gave birth to all the Megalosaurus in Valleglia.
And Varghal in the Dragon Binder's Horn was one of the first Megalosaurus.
Varghal's soul, body, and bloodline all came from a pterosaur.
And when the first Valleglia used blood witchcraft as a sacrifice, it was the former Lord of Fire, the current Lord of Light, the Great Lord Lahlo!
So, do you understand now? "
Erlu nodded slowly. The red-robed woman had explained it very clearly. How could he not understand?
"In other words, with a simple sacrifice, Varghal's soul can be fused into the pterosaur's body, and the pterosaur can be revived into a Megalosaurus?"
"More or less, but …" Aunt May's eyes wandered, and she stuttered, "The sacrifice isn't simple."
"It requires the king's blood, I know."
"It requires your … most precious …" Facing Erlu's suddenly widened eyes, Aunt May turned her head, unable to continue.
"What do you mean?" Erlu's gaze became dangerous.
"How did Yasore and Yahai forge the Hero's Red Sword?" Aunt May lifted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes looking at Erlu, and said, "He failed countless times in forging the sword, until he sacrificed his most cherished wife, Nissanisa.
The Mages are your Hero's Red Sword, and you have to forge your own divine weapon of salvation. "
Erlu's stern expression suddenly became very strange.
"I'm going to sacrifice Selis?"
If he could obtain an adult Megalosaurus, sacrificing that big-eared, long-bearded, bad-tempered wife of his who was as tall and burly as him was not unacceptable.
"No." Aunt May's face twitched a few times. How could there be such a good thing in the world!
"It's … Shireen!"
"Smack —"
The slap came suddenly and fiercely. Aunt May's head was knocked askew, and she was also dazed. Her ears rang, and her face instantly swelled into a greenish-red bun.
She was about to question him, but when she turned her head, she saw Erlu's crimson red eyes that looked like they were about to swallow someone whole. She sighed softly, and silently swallowed her anger.
"Shireen is my successor, don't even think about touching her." Erlu left this sentence, and angrily left.
.....
"Where is this?"
Aegon walked in a white world. He looked left and right, and was at a loss.
There was a white jade staircase under his feet, and as far as his eyes could see, it was empty. Only clouds that emitted white and golden light floated past him.
The big sparrow who was leading the way in front did not even turn her head, and said calmly, "This is Mountain Paradise, the place where the true souls of the saints of the Seven Gods reside."
"Ah, I'm in heaven!" Aegon shouted, and suddenly his expression changed a few times as he recalled what happened before his death.
"Stannis wanted to sacrifice me to Lahlo, but I ended up being a saint, and my soul came to heaven." At this point, Aegon's lips curled into a bitter smile. "Well, the human world has become hell for me. It's good that I'm dead, at least I can go to heaven."
The big sparrow finally turned her head, and frowned. "You're not a saint."
"You just said that heaven is where the saints reside." Aegon was confused.
"Yes, this is the holy heaven, the final resting place of the saints, but you're not a saint."
The big sparrow's cold face was full of disgust, and she looked at Aegon as if she was looking at a stinky poop that tainted a pot of delicious chicken soup.
"If I'm not a saint, why can I come to heaven?" Aegon was very dissatisfied with the old man's reaction. "Master Guide, I grew up in a foreign land, but I've always believed in the Seven Gods, and I've never done anything wrong in my life. It's not too much to go to heaven, right?"
"You believe in the Seven Gods, but you're not devout. You should've entered the world of strangers, and never come here." The big sparrow shook her head.
"Now, I'm here." Aegon said with his head held high.
"That's because of Danny Rize."
"Aunt Danny …" Aegon's expression became absent-minded. That was a familiar yet distant name, but he did not expect to hear it in heaven.
"What did she do?" He said in disappointment.
"She's also a saint, and she can go to heaven like me after death, and become a manager of heaven.
When you were about to be pulled into hell by the Evil God, she sensed what happened to you through the Seal of the Holy Knight.
Then, she begged the Holy Mother for help, and finally used her qualifications as a saint in exchange for your place in heaven. "
"Ah —" This answer was too unexpected, and Aegon was stunned.
"But, but … is this true?"
"Can I lie in heaven?" The big sparrow shouted angrily.
"But, I'm not Lei Jiazi, I'm not her nephew!" Aegon covered his face, squatted on the ground and started crying.
"Sigh, she said that even if you're not related by blood, you're still friends, and she couldn't bear to see you being devoured by the dark Devil God."
Thinking back to the scene where Danny Rize knelt before the Holy Mother and loudly explained the "heart of compassion", the big sparrow could not help but sigh. In terms of kindness and selflessness, I'm not as good as her!
No wonder I didn't pass the final test, and returned to heaven before completing the mission of ending the long night.
"Wuwuwu …" Aegon heard this, and cried even harder.
"Eh!" The big sparrow was surprised.
Just now, in front of him, Aegon's gray linen clothes turned into a white holy monk's robe, and a faint golden light seeped out from between his eyebrows, outlining the three corners of the heptagram.
Then, the three corners overflowed with golden light, and another two corners lit up.
"What happened?" Aegon, who was crying, also noticed the changes in himself.
"Not bad, you have some wisdom." The big sparrow's expression softened a little. "You have a new understanding of the Seven Gods Doctrine, and you've been promoted to a five-star believer, and you're only one level away from becoming a saint in heaven."
"Five-star believer?"
The big sparrow pulled Aegon up from the ground, and explained while walking up, "According to the believer's understanding of the Seven Gods Doctrine, there are a total of seven levels …"
In fact, according to the power of faith provided, the level of piety was divided: Ordinary people were about 1.0, shallow believers were one-star; 1.0-10.0 true believers were two-star; 10-50 devout believers were three-star; 50-100 fanatics were four-star; 100-150 petitioners were five-star; 150-200 saints were six-star; 200-250 saints were seven-star.
Aegon's piety was relatively low before, but in order to obtain the Mark of the Paladin, he increased it to more than 10.0.
Recently, his life had been going through ups and downs, and now he had ascended to heaven, and was touched by Aunt Danny's lofty heart of compassion. His piety rose from 21 to 110, and he became a five-star petitioner.
After listening to the big sparrow's explanation, Aegon wiped his tears, and said excitedly, "If I work hard to become a saint, then Danny … Aunt Danny's saint qualification can be returned?"
"Yes, Danny Reese and I are not related by blood, but she is my aunt."
His eyes were shining with a determined light, as if he was explaining to the people around him, and as if he was accepting his identity calmly.
