Quincy Cox was just a productive knight, one of the lowest ranking nobles. King Aegon shouldn't have known about him.
However, Quincy's fief was very special. Saltpan Town was one of the few sea trading towns in Hejian County.
Old Quincy's deeds were also quite famous: he was notorious in Hejian County.
Therefore, he was honored to be remembered by King Aegon.
"Seven Gods above, why didn't you go to the Seven Hells?"
Aegon didn't mince his words and expressed his thoughts completely.
"I … I had no choice!" Old Quincy understood that Aegon probably knew about his deeds.
However, he glanced at Aegon and complained in his heart, I haven't asked you why you didn't go to the Seven Hells! Impersonating Lei Jiazi is a much worse crime than me.
"I'm 65 years old this year. When I was alive, my intelligence had declined and I had no energy. Even walking was difficult. Those bloodsuckers were vicious. What could I do? "
"You don't have a son? Also, where are your castle guards? "Aegon asked.
"Wuwuwu …" Old Quincy cried when his son was mentioned. "I had two sons. They were both brave knights. If they were still alive, those bandits wouldn't have been able to do as they pleased. "
Aegon's heart skipped a beat. He could guess the cause of Quincy's son's death.
"The War of the Four Kings?"
"Yes. I received the conscription order from the King of the North, so I arranged for my two sons to go to Rapids City in my place. They took two hundred guards with them, and then they all died. Their bodies are nowhere to be found."
Old Quincy cried, "Although Saltpan Town has some assets, I'm just a productive knight. There are only a dozen or so old guards left in the castle. What's the use?
My sons are all dead. They only left two granddaughters for me. I have to protect them!
Everyone blames me for closing the castle gates and refusing to fulfill my duty as a noble to protect the commoners. But I also need protection!
I pledged my loyalty to my lord. Why didn't my lord and king come to protect me? "
Aegon fell silent.
Old Quincy cried for a while and suddenly froze. He asked in confusion, "Wasn't my intelligence declining? How can my memory be so clear and my speech so flexible? "
"Did you have dementia before?" Aegon asked curiously.
Old Quincy shook his head. "He's not demented. It's just that his brain is slow, like a rusty iron sword."
"This is heaven. All the illnesses and aging that you experienced in your life will no longer affect you in heaven.
Even if you were blind in your previous life, you can recover your health in Heaven, "Aegon said matter-of-factly.
"Ah, this is heaven!" Quincy said excitedly.
Then, he asked in confusion, "Your Majesty Aegon, please don't be angry if I tell you the truth. You can't be considered a saint, right? How did you become an angel after death?"
"Actually, I'm just a proxy angel." Aegon blushed.
"Angels can act as a proxy?" Quincy's jaw dropped.
"Oh, the real Guide is the Holy Sparrow …" Since there was no way to hide it, Aegon explained his identity as a temporary worker.
"Isn't Big Sparrow being too lazy? I'm a Heroic Spirit after all, and we're old friends. Big Sparrow has passed by my territory, and I've saved him countless times! "Quincy grumbled.
Uh, this was the truth. Big Sparrow had always been a barefoot monk in Hejian County, and had been to Saltpan Town many times.
Old Quincy was a devout knight of the old school, and he took good care of the Night Watchers and monks.
"I'm here to pick you up. What's there to be unhappy about?" Aegon glared.
When the two of them were still alive, Old Quincy was his vassal!
A lord picking up a vassal, how could he be worthy of him?
Well, Saltpan Town was too close to the valley. Old Quincy couldn't reject King Aegon's summons.
If you were the real Lei Jiazi, your identity would be enough. But you're just a fake crown prince, a fake Guide.
No matter how dissatisfied Old Quincy was, he didn't dare to say it out loud. Although the fake crown prince was a fake angel, the "Guide Authority" in his hands was real.
After that, the two of them walked down the last flight of stairs in silence, and came to a vast grassland.
As the Guide, Aegon had the responsibility of helping the newcomers understand the structure of Heaven.
"… This is Holy Sparrow's Paradise Island."
Standing at the edge of the island, Aegon pointed at the floating Sky Island, and repeated what Big Sparrow had told him that day.
"Can I go to other islands? It's best if it's an island from the time of Eris. Maybe I can find some old friends, or my son, or my parents. "Old Quincy asked expectantly.
Just like Aegon, he despised Big Sparrow's island for being too quiet.
Aegon shook his head and sighed. "Only the saints have the right to choose their own island."
"Then can I go visit my old friends?" Old Quincy asked for the next best thing.
"It's difficult … You should find a piece of land and build your own house first!"
Then, Aegon taught him the technique of using the Power of Faith to create things.
"Ah, it's amazing. No wonder it's Heaven!" Old Quincy took a bite of the juicy green apple, and was moved to tears. "I haven't eaten such a delicious apple in so many years!"
Aegon was confused. "Long Night just arrived, right? How come it's been so many years? "
Old Quincy grinned, revealing his neat white teeth. "I didn't have teeth when I was alive. I couldn't chew it!"
"Uh …" Aegon's mouth twitched.
"Greetings, Lord Angel!"
"Greetings, Lord Aegon!"
The two of them chatted as they walked, and before they knew it, they came to the labor area at the edge of the Third Ring Road.
There were hundreds of men in black sweaters. When they saw Aegon, they stopped what they were doing and bowed to greet him.
"Ah, Night Watchers." Old Quincy's pupils contracted, and he was surprised. "There are so many Night Watchers. Is it easier for Night Watchers to go to Heaven?"
"They didn't go to Heaven. After they died, they were sent here by the Stranger to stay temporarily." Aegon shook his head.
"Temporarily?" Old Quincy was confused. "You can temporarily stay in Heaven?"
"We sacrificed ourselves to protect the Seven Kingdoms. Her Majesty Danny Alice was kind and couldn't bear for us to reincarnate immediately. So, she begged the Holy Mother to arrange for us to stay in Mountain Paradise temporarily.
When the Long Night is over and summer comes, the world will be peaceful again. Then, we will reincarnate. "
A skinny young Night Watcher shook his head and said, "As the saying goes, it's better to be a Changxia dog than a man of the night."
"It's better to be a Changxia dog than a man of the night …" Old Quincy thought about it carefully and said, "Who said that? It makes sense! Dogs have meat to eat in summer, and knights don't dare to eat bread in winter. "
"The Stranger said so."
"You've seen the Stranger? What did he look like? "Old Quincy was surprised.
"He wore a cloak and stood in the shadows. We couldn't see him clearly," the tall young man beside the skinny monkey said.
Old Quincy nodded. He looked exactly like the Stranger in the Holy Church!
"Why did so many of you die?" he asked again.
The skinny monkey looked him up and down and said, "You're a noble, right? Why didn't you receive any messenger crows from the Great Wall?"
"Well …" Quincy was a bit embarrassed. "I'm just a knight. My territory is small and I have no contact with the Great Wall. What happened to the Great Wall? "
There were thousands of knights like Quincy in the Westeros, and the Great Wall didn't even have a thousand messenger crows.
Other than the nobles in the Northern Region, the Great Wall would only send messages to dukes and some powerful counts.
"The Great Wall collapsed." The skinny monkey told him what happened that day.
"The Great Wall collapsed, millions of ghouls …" Old Quincy was stunned. "The Seven Gods, can the Westeros stop them?"
"With Her Majesty Danny Alice, the Long Night will definitely be ended."
"Yes, with the Dragon Queen, she has five Megalosaurus. The ghouls are afraid of fire, and the Megalosaurus are their nemesis."
The Night Watchers were very confident.
Quincy stared at the skinny monkey for a while and asked, "You said you became a ghoul when you were alive. How can your soul still go to heaven?"
"The Dragon Queen was merciful and summoned Stranger to bring me here."
"No." Old Quincy waved his hand. "I mean, you became a ghoul, your soul should have been …"
Aegon understood his doubts. "When a person dies, their soul leaves the body, and then the body becomes a ghoul. The soul is not affected. “
"But he's been dead for a few days."
"Yes, he was in Stranger's country for a few days. What's the problem?"
Aegon said matter-of-factly. Old Quincy was also enlightened. The whole process was more complicated than they had imagined.
The skinny monkey youth was Jamie. He died on the day the Great Wall collapsed.
When Danny took care of the Minotaur and helped Blackie obtain Stranger's godhood, two days had passed since his death.
Danny entered the World of Death with Stranger's godhood and only found the remnant souls of a group of Night Watchers. If she had not used the Spirit-Bestowing Spell to repair their souls, Jamie and the others would not have been able to regain their consciousness.
.....
After leaving the Third Ring where the night watchers lived and entering the Second Ring, Quincy frowned and said, "There are only five Holy Spirits in Heaven, but there are seven to eight hundred night watchers temporarily living there. Isn't this a bit too much?"
He realized that other than himself and King Aegon, there were only three Holy Spirits who were qualified to go to heaven in the Second Ring.
As for the central ring, the Great Cathedral was surrounded by villas, but they were all empty. There was only the Holy Sparrow in such a large area.
"Even if Her Majesty Danny Liz is a Holy Disciple, how could she get so many Night Watchers …" Old Quincy complained. "She's treating heaven as her own home."
Hearing the old knight say this about Danny's aunt, Aegon was angry but also embarrassed.
"Actually, it's all thanks to Danny Liz that I can go to heaven …" He told the story of how he got into heaven through the back door with a straight face.
This could not be kept a secret, and the Great Sparrow knew.
The Great Sparrow was afraid that no one would know, so every Holy Spirit that came would tell the story of how Aegon got in through the back door.
"Seven Gods above, how can you get into heaven through connections?" Old Quincy's faith was about to shatter.
"Of course a Holy Disciple has special privileges. Otherwise, how can I manage such a vast Paradise Island?"
Old Quincy looked in the direction of the voice. It was a familiar old man, barefoot and wearing a white robe. He was tall and thin, and his hair was neatly combed back. He stepped on the soft grass and slowly walked over from the Great Cathedral.
It was the Holy Sparrow.
"Ah, Lord Archbishop, it's really you!" Quincy was excited to see an old friend again.
The Holy Sparrow smiled and nodded. "Sir Quincy, I've said it before. Your devotion to the Seven Gods for decades will be rewarded one day."
Hearing this, Old Quincy tilted his head and looked at King Aegon who got in through the back door. His expression was a little unnatural. Serving the Seven Gods for a lifetime seemed to be more effective than getting in through the back door. Look at this person. Heaven has personally descended to the mortal realm. What an honor!
There were so many Night Watchers who had never been to the Great Cathedral. They had not even read the Seven Stars Bible …
