Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King Chapter 487

Chapter 487 Kingship and theocracy

"Just these people?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The Lannister family is still there?"

"It's not that there is no movement at all," Gavin Mander said, "someone from the church went to see Sir Lancel Lannister, but Lord Tyrion immediately handed Sir Lancel to Sir Lancel when he heard the news." tied up."

Samwell snorted lightly, and asked again:

"Where are the northern nobles? Has Roose Bolton seen anyone?"

"No. Lord Luce lives in the barracks outside the city tonight, not in the city at all."

"So honest."

Gavin smiled secretly when he saw the undisguised disappointment on the king's face.

He knew that Caesar wanted to take this opportunity to lure out those ambitious people who were just about to move, but he didn't expect that the archbishop would cooperate in such a performance, but he only attracted some small fish and shrimps.

"This just shows that most nobles recognize you, Your Majesty!" Gavin said, "In their hearts, your prestige is even higher than that of the Seven Gods!"

Samwell laughed and shook his head:

"Don't talk nonsense like this, go ahead and act according to the plan."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Gavin left, Samwell stared at the dark sky in a daze.

Tonight the stars are dim, the moon is cold, and it looks like it will snow again.

The cold wind blowing from the narrow sea carried a salty and damp breath, which was icy cold to the bone.

But Samwell felt nothing about it.

Countless flame spirits invisible to the naked eye surrounded him, keeping the severe cold out.

After the sharp increase in spiritual attributes, Samwell found that his control over the fire element had reached an extremely powerful level. The advanced fire magic that Melisandre had taught him was extremely simple.

He was even able to perceive the fire magic imprint hidden in his giant sword [Dawn], which should be the imprint left by R'hllor, the Lord of Light.

Although he still doesn't know how to clear this mark, being able to detect it is already a great improvement.

And he noticed that there was also a force remaining on his bronze armor.

This force suppressed R'hllor's flame imprint, but it looked extraordinarily heterogeneous, as if it was composed of countless forces from different sources.

Samwell originally thought that this was the mortal enemy of the Lord of Light, the source of the legendary winter, the ruler of the long night, and the imprint left by the cold god.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

The power on the bronze armor is somewhat similar to the blood eye left by "Crow's Eye" Euron Greyjoy.

And this blood eye is what the Three-Eyed Crow has been striving for.

The Three-Eyed Raven should represent the Old Gods...

Just as Samwell was thinking about it, soft footsteps came from behind him.

He turned his head and saw Daenerys Targaryen opened the door and came out.

"Did I wake you up?" Samwell hurried forward to wrap her arms around her waist, wrapping her gently with fire elements.

"No, I woke up by myself." Daenerys huddled in her husband's arms, feeling the temperature from his body, and narrowed her eyes comfortably, "I have to get up several times a night now, the little guy is crowded My bladder space."

Samwell laughed: "Just hold on for another month."

"Well, were you talking to Gavin just now?"

"right."

"About the Church of the Seven Gods?"

"Well. Some people are dishonest, so I just took this opportunity to clean up together."

Daenerys hesitated for a moment, but said:

"I didn't expect you to kill the archbishop in the Baylor Cathedral. This is really impulsive."

Samwell smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Actually, he was not prepared to deal with the big sparrow in such a cruel way.

Although the man was ambitious, he was after all the spokesperson of the Seven Gods and the leader of many believers in Westeros.

Killing it rashly will have extremely bad effects.

When the Big Sparrow proposed to rebuild the church's armed forces, Samwell knew that this person was a hidden danger.

But he didn't want to kill people directly, but planned to force the other party to abdicate voluntarily.

As for the method, it is the armed forces of the religious order.

Although the armed forces of the church are an important cornerstone of the power of the church, they can also become a sharp weapon to destroy the reputation of the archbishop.

However, it is always easy for things to develop out of control.

Samwell did not expect that the High Sparrow would change the blessing ceremony into a coronation ceremony without authorization. This was to let the church override the kingship. Of course, he could not tolerate this behavior.

In addition, the big sparrow's self-assertion also happened to help him a lot, making his spirit soar and possessing the power almost like a god.

With all kinds of factors superimposed, Samwell directly played a "barbecue sparrow" in the church.

It is not only a punishment for the other party's violation of the agreement, but also an attempt to test the Seven Gods.

And the Seven Gods were, as always, silent.

The impact of this matter now seems to be much milder than expected.

Perhaps it was because Samwell displayed god-like spiritual coercion in the sanctuary, which deterred the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms and made them dare not act rashly.

As a result, even if the trap is dug now, few people dare to jump into it.

"Don't worry, the situation is not that serious." Samwell comforted his wife, "Most of the nobles are still on our side."

"That's good." Daenerys breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the eastern sky appeared pale, and soon, the light of dawn pierced the night, bringing dawn to the world.

woo woo woo —

The sound of a deep horn suddenly sounded from outside the city of King's Landing.

Not long after, I saw countless heavily armed soldiers pouring into the city like a tide in the twilight of the morning light.

"It's started." Sam Wells said, his tone a little bored.

After all, it is really hard for him to be interested in such a small fish and shrimp.

"Hmm." Daenerys looked excitedly at the black torrents, "Sam, are you going to take this opportunity to ban the sect's armed forces?"

"Why should it be banned?"

Daenerys froze for a moment: "Such a good opportunity, shouldn't this hidden danger be eliminated?"

Samwell shook his head:

"For us, the armed forces of the sect may not necessarily be a threat, but may become a help. You know, this is a rare force that can compete with the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms."

Daenerys showed a thoughtful expression, and she immediately thought of the scene when her father was forced to be at a loss by the four alliances of fish, wolf, deer and eagle. kindness.

But these people either have ulterior motives or are simply unreliable.

If the Targaryen family at that time could have a powerful force of their own, perhaps those tragedies would not have happened.

Can the regiment be armed?

"Sam, although the armed forces of the religious order can counter the power of the nobles, they may not be under our control."

"That's not necessarily the case." Samwell laughed.

Daenerys suddenly felt a vast and powerful force from her husband, and at the same time, he turned into a golden-haired and golden-eyed image.

At this moment, Caesar came into the world like a god.

Daenerys' vision was filled with golden light.

In a trance, she only heard the roar of the white dragon, felt a kiss from her husband on her forehead, and a sentence in her ear:

"Why can't kingship and theocracy be integrated?"
