Soldiers in old grayish black leather armor, knights in plate armor with various clan emblems, nobles in high-grade fur robes, cooks with sackcloth wrapped around their foreheads, stables with pimples on their faces …
Hundreds and thousands of people with flushed faces shouted fanatically as they squeezed towards the castle gate.
The crazy scene was like a supermarket being occupied by middle-aged women who were fighting to buy discounted products.
"Holy Mother, what are they doing?!" The Hound was dumbfounded.
"Didn't you hear? They're all fighting for atonement scrolls, "a magnetic female voice replied.
The Hound tilted his head and saw a voluptuous woman about 1.5 meters tall curiously sizing him up … on the right side of his scarred face.
"You're the Hound? Everyone said that you were a bandit in Hejian and were killed by the Dragon Queen. What happened? "the woman asked.
She had olive skin, large black eyes, and glossy black curly hair. She was very beautiful.
Beside her were a few tall, charming, and heroic women. They were in their teens and twenties, and their skin was darker than an ordinary person's.
When the Hound saw the golden "Sun Piercing Spear" emblem on their chests, he guessed their identities.
Dornmartell.
"The bandit killed by the Dragon Queen wasn't me, and I didn't rob Saltpan Town," the Hound said calmly.
"Everyone saw it and said the same thing," Ya Lian said doubtfully.
"They took the Hound's helmet. He's a priest on the Silent Island!" Arya said.
The Princess of the Northern Territory and the Princess of Dorne greeted each other before continuing their conversation by the moon gate.
"The Dornese came to Winterfell, and she's the Eldest Princess. This doesn't seem like Prince Dawang's style," the Hound said curiously.
"It's not certain if we can defend Winterfell, but if we know the enemy and ourselves, we won't be defeated. The night is coming, but we don't even know what the Deviant Ghosts look like, "the Sand Snake Obaya, who had a long whip around her waist, said.
She was the leader of the Sand Snakes. She was almost 30 years old, tall and had long legs, but she looked coarse and wasn't as beautiful as her sisters.
Glancing at her outspoken cousin, Alaine said, "My father had long since prepared to build a defensive line to stop the deviant ghosts on the Bone Road and the Prince Pass.
But even if we haven't seen deviant ghosts, based on the legends, we know that a pass that can defend against the living may not necessarily be able to defend against the dead. Hence, we are here to support Winterfell and to test the combat power of the Deviant Ghosts. "
"What's going on?" Hound pointed at the crowd.
"Do you know what happened in Kahoe City?" Ya Lian asked in a low voice.
Arya's eyes flashed, and she gradually understood. "Count Saigon of Karhold not only sacrificed ghouls, but he also killed the messenger sent by Stannis. Could it be that a second Kaho City has appeared in the north? "
"Just last night, Randall Tarly sent an urgent letter to Dragonstone Island." Yalaine's expression became a little strange. "After killing Stannis' men, Saigon immediately wrote a letter to Duke Lusbotton of the Dreadfort to pledge his loyalty. The letter explained the whole process of his sacrifice to the deviant ghosts.
Lusbotton was the King of the North appointed by the Iron Throne, so he had a reason to pass Saigon's letter to the Red Keep. So, do you understand the situation now? "
"F * ck!" Hound's ugly face twisted as he cursed.
"People like Saigon and Lusbotton should have been killed long ago. How could they be allowed to live until now?"
Arya entered the Grim Reaper state again. Her face, eyes, and heart were as cold as ice, making Ya Lian and the surrounding Vipers feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
Ya Lian looked at Erya in surprise and said, "Who killed them? Stannis tried, but his messenger was beheaded. Your brother wanted to do it, but he couldn't. "
"What about Danny Rize? She has a Megalosaurus, "Erya asked.
"Her giant dragon has already been there. It has already burned down Kaho City's main castle and burned hundreds of people to death. However, Sai Gon was already prepared and hid in the cellar in advance. The giant dragon didn't discover him at that time.
Actually, Saigon might not be the first Dungeon Lord to sacrifice himself to a Deviant Ghost. Duke Stark investigated and found that most of the clansmen in the north of the Wolfswood survived …
In other words, as long as there are living humans in the north of Winterfell, they are suspected of sacrificing Deviant Ghosts. "
"So, Dragon Queen intends to use the Atonement Scrolls to boost everyone's morale?" Hound asked thoughtfully.
"Yes!" Ya Lian nodded. "Last night, after news came from Dragonstone Island, Danny Rize informed the members of the Ghost Resistance Committee to discuss a plan to 'defeat Deviant Ghosts and ascend to Heaven' in the Seven Kingdoms."
"Defeat Deviant Ghosts and ascend to Heaven? Do you mean that everyone who resists Deviant Ghosts will ascend to Heaven? "Hound was dumbfounded.
"Yes, to stabilize the people's morale and strengthen their resolve to resist the Deviant Ghosts, Dragon Queen decided to distribute the Atonement Scrolls without limit.
This morning, Barristan represented her to announce this to the nobles. That's why so many people are gathered here, "Ya Lian said.
Arya hesitated and said, "If it's so easy to ascend to Heaven, won't it make Heaven seem too …"
"The night is long and dangerous. Only the Seven Gods can save the people." Hound said solemnly, "Now that the Long Night is coming, the lords of the Seven Kingdoms want to sacrifice the Frost God to survive. Their actions have put the world in danger.
The Holy Mother is fulfilling the prophecy of the Seven Gods to save the humans … It's the prophecy of the Seven Gods and the promise of the Seven Gods to their believers. "
Ya Lian said, "The Long Night only comes once every 8,000 years. There's only one chance to defeat Deviant Ghosts and ascend to Heaven."
Arya nodded slowly and agreed with the two of them.
"There are close to 20,000 people in Winterfell, hundreds of thousands in the Northern Region, and millions in the Westeros. Are there so many Atonement Scrolls?" she asked doubtfully.
"This …" Ya Lian wasn't sure. "Let's wait and see. Danny Rize should be coming out soon."
They didn't have to wait for long. Less than 15 minutes later, a team of Unsullied wearing silver armor and blue thick wool cloaks came out of the castle and formed a line of defense in front of the crowd.
Dragon Queen, who was covered in armor, took the lead. She led a few knights carrying wooden boxes and two maids out of the castle.
As soon as the Queen appeared, the noisy people in the courtyard quieted down.
Standing on the stone steps in front of the gate, the Dragon Queen looked at the crowd below and said in a clear and loud voice, "The night is long and dangerous. Pity the people of our world, there are so many worries. What joy is there in life, what bitterness is there in death? For good and evil, Heaven is the only reason! "
The Unsullied who maintained order and the knights behind the Dragon Queen had solemn expressions. They recited together, "The night is long and dangerous. Pity the people of our world, there are so many worries. What joy is there in life, what bitterness is there in death? For good and evil, Heaven is the only reason! "
A solemn and sacred atmosphere began to spread in the courtyard. Everyone murmured and pondered.
A white knight with a big belly walked to the bottom of the steps and shouted, "Today, the night is coming. Life is not necessarily happy. Death is not as painful as everyone thinks.
As long as there is light in everyone's heart, as long as we promote the justice of the world and uphold the kindness of people, no matter what faith we have, no matter what faith we have, we can obtain the final salvation.
In other words, the eternal Heaven of Light! "
"That makes sense. Instead of living a miserable life in the long night, why not fight a great battle and then go to Heaven to enjoy endless wine and eternal sunshine." Sand Snake Nymeria, who had her hair tied in a long black braid, murmured.
"Now, let's see how many atonement scrolls the Dragon Queen has. If —"
Arya's voice came to an abrupt stop. Just as she spoke, the Dragon Queen picked up a box from the side and opened it on the table.
It was a wooden box the size of a suitcase. As soon as the wooden cover was opened, a powerful, grand, profound, holy, and dark aura of divine power spread throughout the area.
Any Transcendent could easily feel the tsunami-like high-grade magic energy waves at this moment.
It came from the wooden box.
It came from the palm-sized stacks of scrolls neatly stacked in the wooden box.
Even normal people could see the milky white and gray light on the surface of the box forming a thin layer of clouds. They could also feel a strange oppressive power inside the box that made it hard for them to breathe.
— There was too much divine power in the Moke. The high-grade magic energy radiation caused a visible phenomenon in the natural world.
The wooden box was the size of a travel bag, and the atonement scrolls were the size of a movie ticket. How many scrolls would there be in a box?
And each atonement scroll contained a certain amount of Moke's divine power.
One or two scrolls were nothing, but what about thousands or tens of thousands?
Melisandre next door, as well as Jon and Sansa further away, were all alarmed.
"She's crazy. How much divine power is this consuming!" The red-robed woman who was looking out from the balcony exclaimed in disbelief.
"Isn't she afraid of damaging herself at the crucial moment of the battle with the Ghoul King?"
Hearing this, Erlu walked out of the room and stood beside Aunt May. He frowned and asked, "Can those scrolls really make the undead ascend to heaven?"
"Should be. The divine power is real." The red-robed woman didn't turn around. She stared straight at the Dragon Queen as she took out the atonement scrolls from the box and stacked them neatly on the table.
"You said heaven is fake, and that the Seven Gods are just seven pieces of wood." Erlu bit his cheek.
"I also said that Danny Rize is a demigod. She and her Megalosaurus usurped the position of the Seven Gods."
"A demigod can build heaven? Why doesn't the great Light King have heaven? "Erlu's eyes flashed.
Aunt May suddenly turned around and said sternly, "Richard Hope betrayed his faith. Don't believe his words.
Wherever the light of fire goes, there will be shadows. That's why the Light King is the Lord of Fire and Shadows.
He's the Lord of Shadows in the Dark World in the form of a bull. He punishes evil souls, similar to the seven levels of hell in the Seven Gods Sect.
You know what Richard did now, don't you?
He had to enter the Dark Hell to be punished by the Lord of Shadows.
The God Kingdom of the Light King and the Lord of Fire is heaven in the Red God Sect, and the final destination for us believers. "
"Even if Richard stabbed …" Erlu's face twisted. "Even if he blasphemed and deserved to go to hell, what about Gaudí Falin and the others?
My subordinates who died for me all went to hell and were even forged into chains. They became vengeful ghosts with nothing but resentment. What kind of logic is this? "
"Illusion. Everything was Richard's illusion. The Lord of Shadows wanted to punish him, so he had to see the most terrifying scene.
Actually, Gaudí Falin and the other brave knights all went to heaven. What Richard saw was all an illusion. "The red-robed woman spoke with certainty. Erlu gradually believed her.
"Danny Rize only cultivated for a few years, and she built heaven. Doesn't that mean she's become a god?" Then, he returned to the previous topic with a depressed expression.
"That's a fake heaven!"
"How is it fake? Big Sparrow and Aegon both went up, "Erlu said.
"Maybe she's locked those souls in a large-scale illusion." Aunt May frowned and said with uncertainty.
"Can you expose her deception?" Erlu looked hesitant.
