"Do you see this?" The plump and beautiful centaur maid, Jiqi, raised a 'movie ticket' and waved it in front of more than a thousand pairs of eyes. Then, she placed it in the glass beside the tallow candle.
After soaking it for nearly two minutes, she took out the atonement scroll and spread it open for everyone to see.
"Ah, the image on it hasn't melted." Exclamations came from below the stairs.
"Watch me roast it again." Jiqi spoke in a very standard Westeros language.
The atonement scroll was spread out and waved back and forth on the candle flame. Its surface began to emit white steam.
It was the water that had been soaked in the glass.
The white steam quickly disappeared. The atonement scroll's temperature rose, but it didn't burn immediately. As it was roasted, the bright red candle flame suddenly changed color.
"Ah, the candle flame turned gray. No, that's not right. It's still red. What's going on?" Everyone exclaimed.
The candle was like a scene in a black-and-white TV series, but everyone still subconsciously felt that it was red.
It was a very contradictory feeling.
The principle was very simple. The atonement scroll contained the God of Death's divine power. When the flame passed through it, it would be pulled into the shadow of the material world.
If the naked eye kept staring at the candle, there would be spiritual energy that would follow the candle into the world of death.
Simply put, the naked eye saw the candle's red flame, while the soul saw the candle's gray flame.
The soul and the naked eye saw the same thing, but the color was different, so it would be an illusion.
"Boom!" Finally, the atonement scroll burned, producing a normal reddish-yellow flame. The candle flame also had color again.
"The atonement scroll was burned." The audience below exclaimed again.
"Yes, the atonement scroll is very fire-resistant, but it can still be ignited. My previous actions only had one purpose, which was to teach everyone how to distinguish between the real and fake atonement scrolls.
The real atonement scroll isn't afraid of water and can make the flame emit a gray light. That gray light can be seen even by the blind. Remember, don't be fooled by the fake atonement scrolls. "Jiqi said solemnly.
Uh, the atonement scrolls hadn't been officially circulated, but the Dragon Queen was already on guard against the 'fake money'.
Jiqi picked up another atonement scroll, soaked it in water, and roasted it again.
This time, the candle's light didn't turn gray. Instead, red light seeped out from the surface of the paper.
It was as if a strong flashlight was covered with a palm, emitting a fleshy red glow.
Before the Atonement Scroll burned, Ji Qi put it away and explained, "There are two types of Atonement Scrolls. The first is the Warrior Edition, which is the Gray Light Edition. It is specially prepared for warriors who fight against deviant ghosts.
With the Gray Light Warrior Atonement Scroll, one only needed to chant the 'Song of the Seven Gods' seven times. When the Holy Mother of Heaven heard your song, she would naturally remember your name.
At that time, your atonement scroll can only be used by you. No one else … not even the king can take it away from you. "
This was the binding of spiritual power.
"The second type of atonement scroll is the Red Light General Edition. Devout believers of the seven gods need to chant the Song of the Seven Gods 77 times or pray to the Holy Mother 77 times.
The less devout followers of the seven gods would probably have to chant it 777 times, or even longer.
In the end, the red light atonement scroll will turn into a grey light atonement scroll. That atonement scroll can be used by anyone. "
This was "charging" for the atonement scroll.
The purpose of creating the Red Light Atonement Scroll was simple, to save costs.
The Gray Light Atonement Scroll contained the complete divine power to activate divine spells, while the Red Light Atonement Scroll only had runes and a weak divine power seed, which needed the power of faith generated by prayer to fully develop the seed.
Although a single atonement scroll contained very little divine power — about the same as a priest's Secondary Healing (Holy Light) — but if there were too many of them, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, even Danny would not be able to handle it.
Similarly, a single atonement scroll did not require much divine power. A slightly devout believer of the seven gods could quickly fill the atonement scroll with divine power through prayer.
A devout believer like Old Bart, who only slept and did not work for a day and a night and spent the rest of the time praying, could turn a hundred Red Light Atonement Scrolls into grey light.
If the Great Sparrow was still alive, it might be possible to make two or three thousand a day.
The Holy Sparrow alone could save a small town a day.
It could be said that the believers of the seven gods outside the Northern Region could make the Gray Light General Atonement Scroll in a day or two.
"Lady Jiqi, what are the requirements for the Gray Light General Atonement Scroll and the Gray Light General Atonement Scroll?" Count Brandon Hatau asked loudly in front of the stone steps.
"The Northern Warriors who fought against the Deviants can get a Gray Light General Atonement Scroll. The Warriors of the Southern Neck who believe in the seven gods can only get the Red Light General Atonement Scroll, just like the ordinary civilians who did not participate in the war," Jiqi said.
"What about the families of the Northern Warriors? And the people of the nobles' territories, they also believe in the old gods. "Bear Yalishan asked.
She also had a son, a daughter, and an unknown number of lovers!
"The Northern Warriors can ask for the Gray Light General Atonement Scroll from their lords. The lords can count their own people and apply for the Atonement Scroll from me."
"What about our southern lords?" Princess Alaine walked over and asked.
"They also count their own people and apply for the Atonement Scroll from me, but only the Red Light General Atonement Scroll." Jiqi said.
"There are also families in Hejian who believe in the old gods." Arya reminded.
Jiqi immediately said, "There won't be too many people in a family. You can find a monk to turn the Red Light General Atonement Scroll into a Gray Light General Atonement Scroll. Anyway, it's a general atonement scroll."
Bronn glanced at the smiling Dragon Queen and whispered, "Your Majesty, there are Mountain Ridge Tribes in the valley and tens of thousands of tribes on the Crab Claw Peninsula. They are the ancestors who were not assimilated by the Andals in the early years and still believe in the old gods."
"Let's talk about it after the Battle of Winterfell!"
The courtyard was very lively, but there were not many people who received the Atonement Scroll.
There were almost a thousand people in the training ground in the front yard, but this was not even one-tenth of the total population of Winterfell.
There were still many Northern Warriors who believed in the old gods who hesitated and watched.
They had reason to hesitate because the Dragon Queen had personally said that there was no hell for the old gods. Returning to the embrace of the old gods was not worse than going to heaven.
These were Danny's heartfelt words.
Returning one's soul to heaven and earth or being sent into a fake world by the Evil God to be manipulated and toyed with, which was better?
Even the Evil God Danny had to admit that she could collect souls now, but she was still far from being able to control the true cycle of reincarnation.
However, she did not care about the attitude of the Northern Warriors because she could not produce 500,000 Gray Light Warrior Atonement Scrolls. She also did not consider the Northern Territory, which had already fallen, as her main goal.
The millions of Seven Gods believers in the south of the Neck Swamp were the ones she needed to "encourage".
Why did she distribute the Atonement Scrolls?
Because all humans were afraid of death.
Faced with the invasion of the Other Ghost Army, the incident in Karhold would definitely repeat itself in the territories of the Seven Kingdoms. Refusing the sacrifice would result in the immediate annihilation of the entire city. Offering the Other Ghost as a sacrifice would result in revenge.
Which option would a normal person choose?
As for offering the Other Ghost as a sacrifice, the Long Night would be even harder to end …
People were already dead, so who would care about the future world?
Even in modern warfare, most prisoners of war knew that they would be killed, but they still worked for the enemy and even dug their own graves.
At the end of the day, the fear of death was engraved in the human genes. Those who were not afraid of death had died long ago, and their genes had not been passed down.
Hence, Danny needed all Westeros to not be afraid of death.
Only those who were not afraid of death could resist the sacrifice and kill the Other Ghost.
How could millions of people not be afraid of death?
Only the world after death would be better than the real world when they were alive.
.....
Seeing that Ji Qi's work was on the right track, Danny brought the four Unsullied back to the castle.
"Hey, wait, Your Majesty Danny Rize!" Erya pulled the hound and chased after them. Alaine and the Sand Snake followed behind them.
"Why are you looking for me?" Danny's strange gaze lingered on Erya for a moment longer.
Erya pulled the hound's right hand a little harder.
"Your Majesty, my leg is crippled. Can you treat it for me? I heard that Jaime and Lannister's legs were healed by you. "The hound asked dryly.
Just as he finished speaking, he added with an unnatural expression, "If it's too troublesome, then forget it. I just want to be more agile before the final battle. Perhaps, being crippled won't affect the defense of the castle walls."
Danny sized him up and asked, "You became a cultivator?"
"Yes, I also received the Holy Mother's healing technique."
Previously, when he faced the Dragon Queen who was as bright as the moon in the sky, the hound felt an inexplicable sense of inferiority and lack of confidence. Now, his voice was a little louder, and there was a hint of obvious pride in his tone.
If he was facing other people, as one of the few hundred True Priests in the Seven Kingdoms, he also had the confidence to be proud.
"What about you?" Danny looked at Alaine.
"There are only two roads to enter Dorne from the land, the King's Pass and the Bone Road. Do you think it's possible to turn Dorne into the final base for the Seven Kingdoms to resist the Other Ghosts?" The Princess of Dorne asked.
"I'm not sure how much of an impact the mountains that block the human army will have on the Other Ghosts.
The Ravens of the Shapeshifters have investigated the steep mountains that the people of the North of the Wolf Spirit live in. Some of the people were exterminated, and some survived. They claimed that they relied on the caves and the dangerous mountain paths to repel the Ghouls.
Of course, it's more likely that their tribe survived because they sacrificed their baby boys.
The experience of the people of the North proves that the steep mountain paths do have an impact on the Other Ghosts.
But we don't know how much determination the Other Ghosts have when they attack the people of the North of the North, and how much power they put in. Therefore, we can't be sure how the mountain terrain really affects the Other Ghost army. "
"So, if the Other Ghosts pass through the Neck Swamp, the valley might not be safe? The Blood Gate will become a decoration? " Alaine said with a serious expression.
"There's no need to be so desperate." Danny shook her head and smiled. "The Ghouls and Other Ghosts are all transformed from humans. If humans can't walk on the road, they can't walk on it either.
Unless they can find a secret path that can allow a large army to pass through, it's impossible for the Ghouls to ignore the main road like the Blood Gate.
Among the millions of Ghouls, only a few hundred of them have brains.
If they want to avoid the Blood Gate, they have to find the secret path themselves.
The problem is, if there is a secret path, don't we humans know about it?
Therefore, the scene of millions of Other Ghosts suddenly entering the valley probably won't happen. In the end, there will still be a siege and a defensive battle. "
"In other words, the defense of Dorne can be done?" The Princess of Dorne said happily.
"If you can seal all the secret paths, the Prince's Pass and the Bone Road will become as important as the Blood Gate." Danny nodded.
"Your Majesty, are you willing to provide us with assistance? If the North completely falls, Dorne can be the last base of the Seven Kingdoms and take in all the refugees from Hejian, the Land of Storms, and the King's Domain. "
Only then did Ya Lian En reveal the main purpose of her trip.
