Chapter 872 Tragic Cersei

The sacred and solemn church is not suitable for discussing gossip. Archbishop Matthew first brought a group of monks and church knights to the lecture hall next door, and then recounted his adventures in the past few hours.

"The Virgin cuts flesh and feeds the eagle, and the white dove is transformed into a saint"

Everyone was almost as shocked as old Matthew at that time, and they also felt the same.

It's just that there is a layer of separation, which is worse than listening to the Virgin Mary's sermon on the spot, as if being in the scene is far from being comparable to watching a movie.

Their piety has greatly improved, and many non-priest monks even condensed the seal of the Virgin on the spot.But no monk's soul sublimated and became a divine priest.

Even so, Archbishop Matthew felt relieved when he saw the golden light shining on the foreheads of many pastors, and sighed: "We should recompile the "Seven Stars Bible", add a preface, and adjust the "Our Lady". The explanation of mercy in the book allows all believers to understand the great spirit of Our Lady's great mercy and salvation of all sentient beings."

When the monks heard the words, they all nodded in agreement.

After discussing the way of Our Lady's mercy for a while, Archbishop Matthew talked about his mission.

"By the way, the Andals invaded cough, it was Xidu. When the Andals traveled west to Westeros, there was a saint named Moses who was also forgotten by history. We should at least write a biography for him. "

After the story of St. Moses was told, everyone was amazed again.

Not long after, there was another king named Egypt in the history books of Westeros, a Saint Moses who saved [-] followers of the gods.

That's about it for history.

"Now the White Walker King, who is more terrifying than the King of Egypt, is coming. I will follow the example of St. Moses and lead the people of King's Landing to migrate to Storm's End in the south. This is the mission entrusted to me by the Holy Mother." Old Matthew said with emotion.

Lancel suddenly remembered the message from the Dragon Queen, and quickly took out the letterhead and handed it to the archbishop, "Before Stannis entered the city, he began to call on the princes of the Seven Kingdoms and all countries in the world to come to King's Landing to fight against the White Walkers.

The Dragon Queen believes that the Battle of King's Landing must be extremely tragic, and she wants us to arrange for ordinary monks and refugees to leave immediately. "

Sir Theodore Wales agreed: "I participated in the Battle of Winterfell, among other things, the White Knife outside Winterfell is no less watery than the Green Fork, and it's still frozen.

Therefore, the Neck and the Trident River, which can stop the living, are a smooth path to the White Walkers, and the battle of King's Landing is inevitable.

Unless the warriors of the Seven Kingdoms gather in King's Landing, King's Landing's defensive pressure must be far greater than that of Winterfell.No way, King's Landing is too big. "

This middle-aged strong man is the commander of the Warrior's Son, and his position is still higher than that of the Knight Commander Lancel.

Matthew handed the letter to the archbishop beside him, and said, "There is no doubt that the Holy Mother has also conveyed an oracle to the Pope."

Lancel asked curiously, "Master Archbishop, it seemed that your soul had left your body before and you even grew wings. What's going on?"

These words just hit the old Matthew's itch, he was shocked, and said with a smile: "I have been taught by the Holy Mother, I have some insights, my soul is sublimated, and I have become an angel."

"What is the body of an angel?" Everyone looked over in doubt.

Old Matthew said with a smile: "Before the Atonement Scroll appeared, all who could go to heaven were saints, and there was a higher realm above saints, and the guardian angel was the first level above saints.

Originally, only after death can I receive the blessing of the Holy Mother, transforming from a holy soul into an angel, but when the long night falls and the world is at stake, the Holy Mother gave me the power of the heavens in advance. "

Seeing that the people around were still confused and had no intuitive understanding of angels, the old Matthew raised his hand, stopped Theodore from asking questions, and said, "The power entrusted to me by the Holy Mother is not for showing off, just like I don't know how to To tell you, the Holy Mother also taught me three strokes of the 'Holy Mother's palm'.

Not to mention showing off the unrivaled power of the Holy Mother of God and the body of an angel in public. "

Palm of the Virgin Mary?Unparalleled power?

The expressions of the monks and knights are a little distorted. If you don't tell me, we really don't know that you got the three-style Holy Mother's Palm.As soon as you said it, we became more and more itchy, but you only talked half the time, and you were so anxious to death.

But then, they heard Archbishop Matthew say: "The Holy Mother asked me to lead the people of King's Landing to the south, but I don't have the prestige of St. Moses. I have to show my divine power and let the believers understand that I am the angel of the Holy Mother."

In the evening of that day, the bells on the seven Holy Light Towers of the Holy Church were rang, and the bell echoed throughout King's Landing, and hundreds of thousands of people in the city heard it.

The bells on the tower will only ring at the same time on important occasions, such as the death and enthronement of the king.At this time, the seven big bells are ringing at the same time, which must mean that something important has happened.

For a moment, the hills of Visenia became a big magnet, and all the people and believers in King's Landing turned into rusty and numb iron filings, rushing towards the place where the bell rang.

Cersei in the tower of the Queen Mother of the Red Castle also woke up from a daze because of the bell.

There is only one wooden bed in the stone tower, which makes the room of nearly 150 square meters look extraordinarily spacious.

If Sansa had come here to take a look, she would have thought she was on the wrong track.

But here is indeed the Queen's Tower, the Queen's Tower that cruel Maegor built to honor her mother.

The Queen Mother's Tower is the tower with the best natural environment in the Red Fort.

Open the window, facing the sea, there is a group of egrets in the blue sky, thousands of white sails and clear water; step on the balcony, overlooking the King's Landing, the palace is closed for nine days, and the clothes of all nations are crowned.

The furnishings in the Queen Mother's Tower are also extremely luxurious. The floor is covered with Myrtle blankets that make you feel like falling into the clouds, and the walls are hung with colorful brocades embroidered with exotic scenery. The screen of the Midsummer Islands separates the tea room near the balcony from the bedroom. The wooden tables and chairs are filled with exquisite gold pots and jade cups that look like works of art

Now, except for a half-human statue of the Madonna that Cersei bought in the past, it is still in the corner, and everything else is gone.

French doors to balconies were bricked in and windows facing the sea were boarded up.

It was what Euron asked, he said, to protect his wife.Cersei thought he was trying to torture her, and most others thought Euron was worried that Cersei couldn't stand the penance and committed suicide by jumping off a building.

But Euron was telling the truth.

Arya had been stalking Cersei in King's Landing for months before the Battle of Winterfell!

Carpets, screens, brocades and other furnishings were all emptied, and even the down quilts on the bed were replaced with straw curtains and burlap sheets.

The dark and cold stone room is filled with the smell of fermented excrement.

"The church bell is ringing, why?" The greasy and black straw-cored quilt was lifted off, revealing a fluffy head like chaotic grass, and on the dirty and bruised shriveled cheeks, one can vaguely recognize the shadow of a generation of queens .

She blinked her eyes and listened carefully, and after confirming that it was the seven great bells of the sanctuary, she did not know where the power came from, and suddenly lifted the heavy moldy quilt, from a poor shrunken shrimp to a rampant crab with teeth and claws.

She waved her arms like a reed stick, jumped to her feet and shouted, "Come here, come here, tell me what happened outside, did that bastard Euron just usurp the throne and be crowned the eunuch king?"

No one answered her.

Undaunted, Cersei was wrapped in an old sheepskin coat, and ran to the door, slamming hard on the oak door as thick as the wall of the world.

Outside the oak door is another world.

"You haven't gone to sleep after dinner, are you calling me a strange ghost?" The old woman's stern voice came from outside the door.

"Sister Moller, why are the church bells ringing? Has Euron usurped the throne? How can you allow a wicked heretic to be king?" Cersei cried.

"哗啦~~" A small window 20 cm long and wide was cracked at the upper end of the wooden door, and the yellow light and the pungent smell of kerosene smoke came through immediately.

Then, an old woman's face pointed like an ax blocked most of the light.

"Euron did not usurp your throne, go back to sleep." The old nun said indifferently.

Cersei breathed a sigh of relief.

The pale and dirty little dry face showed the reassuring smile of a little country woman who satisfactorily watched her husband come back from leading the oxen on a summer evening.

The anger in her heart dissipated, and her body quickly felt the chill from the long night. Cersei asked tremblingly, "What happened outside?"

"I want to know too." Sister Moller said impatiently.

"You are the only one outside, and everyone else has gone to the Great Cathedral? If that's the case, let me chat with you to relieve boredom, and ask Sister Arantine about what happened in the Cathedral later." Cersei handed it over The humble smile of a maid.

The old nun outside the door moved her face away, remained silent and did not speak, but did not close the window, the orange light came in again, and Cersei moved her face closer, greedily feeling the brightness and heat of the light.

"Have the White Walkers arrived in King's Landing?" Cersei asked expectantly.

If the White Walkers besiege King's Landing, Euron will have to defend the walls.

"Hey hey hey" Thinking of the beauty, Cersei couldn't help cracking a dry smile, like a dried orange that has been sunbathing for a few days has cracked its skin.

"why are you laughing?"

The inexplicable and sudden piercing laughter frightened the old mother outside the door.

Cersei stopped laughing and said, "What's the big news in Westeros recently? Let me hear it. I'm just fasting and practicing penance, but I didn't join the Silent Sisters. Even the Silent Sisters can listen to outside news, right?"

"The church only asks you to repent and atone for your sins, and has not blocked your news. As long as it is not prayer time, your husband and the head of the house can come to see you at any time, and you can ask them." Sister Moller said.

Cersei stroked the bruise on her face, gritted her teeth and said, "Are you playing dumb? Can't you see that they have betrayed me?

Euron used the Church of the Seven to bind me and absorb the Queen's power.

Thanks to you, who claim to be the servants of the seven gods in the world, you actually help an evil pagan to torture the lamb of the Virgin. "

"You murdered the Holy Sparrow first, and then voluntarily confessed to the Virgin Mary in the way of an ascetic monk to make atonement. The church only supervises your fulfillment of the oath, and does not participate in the power struggle of the Seven Kingdoms.

Euron is your lawful husband, Lady Tanya is your chosen steward, and even the Lord of the Red Keep was appointed by you yourself.

Apart from ensuring that you repent on time, has the Church ever interfered in any internal affairs of the Red Keep? said the pointed-jawed nun sharply.

Cersei was speechless.

Although the old nun was hateful, she didn't say a word wrong. In this game of power, the church did not intervene at all.

Only because she made a sacred oath to the rioting people and sparrows in King's Landing—to atone for the death of the big sparrow with five years of penance—the church sent someone to help her fulfill her oath.

"It's Euron, it's the pterosaur mercenaries he recruited, and he's the one who hinted that the pterosaur knights could be used to murder the big-sparrow, and then let the pterosaur knights take the blame.

It's still him, let me swear, let me practice penance!It's all Euron's fault, he's murdering the Queen! ’ Cersei howled.
