"The ant can't see all of the elephant." Melisandre said, "I am just a worm smaller than an ant in front of the true **** of fire. I sometimes use warnings as prophecies, or prophecies as warnings; sometimes I only saw a fragment of the truth, but I regarded it as the whole truth; sometimes it was the whole truth, but I thought it was just a small fragment. But the fault lies in the interpretation of me, not the true **** of fire. Ai Master De, there is no problem asking me to join the Holy Tribunal. Our goals are indeed the same, but you have to clearly prove your prophecy in front of me!"

"No problem, Melisandre, I predict that you will not be able to sacrifice Jandry and Barra to the Red God. Moreover, you will not be able to demolish the sanctuary, let alone eradicate the sacred forest. But you have to be in the sanctuary and the sacred forest. It’s feasible to build a new Red Temple."

"I can sacrifice Gendelli and Barra to the Red God, and I can also demolish the sanctuary and the sacred tree forest." Melisandre was convinced.

"You can't, you can't do two things," Ed Stark asserted.

Melisandre sneered: "Master Ed, is this your prediction?"

"It is prophecy and wisdom."

"wisdom?"

"Yes, if man is created by God, then man’s wisdom is also bestowed by God. There is no difference between a man of great wisdom and a monk who can interpret the oracle in certain things."

Melisandre smiled and said, "Master Ed, I cannot agree with you. How can the wisdom of mortals be compared with the oracle? Are you blasphemy?"

"Really, then, Mrs. Melisandre, is it the cold that created the Cold God, or the cold that the Cold God brought."

Melisandre gaped and choked.

This is a question she has never thought about. In anxious thinking, she found that she could not answer this question.

"How can mortals understand the origin of God?"

Ed Stark smiled slightly: "Melisandre, I will leave King's Landing early tomorrow morning. I can't wait to see you demolish the Red Fort Church and eradicate the sacred woods, but can I offer Zander and Barra Give it to the Red God to summon the dragon of the gargoyle, but it can verify my prophecy before I leave."

"it is good!"

At night, Mei Ge Building, King's Hall.

"Husband," said Queen Cyris, "the only thing we lack now is dragons. As long as there is a magic dragon, Lannister in the West is as crisp as rubble."

Stanney looked at her indifferently. "The nine great masters on the other side of the narrow sea crossed the sea to incubate the dragon eggs stored by Aegon III;'Beloved by God' Baylor prayed to the eggs for half a year; Aegon IV invented the wooden iron dragon, hoping to burn in the enemy The enemy is dead; while the King of'Bright Flame' Ilion directly drank the wild gunpowder, hoping to transform himself into a dragon. The result was-the mage failed; the prayer of King Baylor did not respond, and the dragon egg was always the dragon egg. Aegon IV The world’s wood and iron dragon was burned, and many of his soldiers were burned to death, while Prince Ilion screamed to death under the torture of wild gunpowder."

Queen Cyris was determined. "None of them are the elect of Rahlo, nor the believers of the Red God. You are the son of light, and Melisandra forged the'bringer of light', the red sword of heroes, for you from the fire that burned down the seven sacred images. And Nine Masters, Baylor, Aegon IV, King Ilion, none of them paid the price of their lives. Ms. Melisandre has already told you, Your Majesty, only death can exchange life."

"Burn Gendry and Barra?" the king asked back, his eyes sharp as a knife.

"Yes, Your Majesty. They are just two illegitimate sons of King Robert." said the queen. She looked at Ed Stark, the eternal prime minister of the kingdom, who was standing aside, "Master Ed, come and persuade His Majesty the King. If he is willing to respect a person's integrity, it is you."

Ed Stark said: "Your Majesty Queen, I follow His Majesty's decision."

"Master Ed, for the reunification of the Seven Kingdoms, to eradicate the rebels in the West, to frighten Donne and the River Bend, Fengshibao, the king lacks a dragon, please persuade him." The scholar Pelos said earnestly.

"These filthy illegitimate children make me detest," Stannis cursed. "Their names are like thunder in my ears. Their existence is the shame of the Baratheon family. Damn Robert, I hate him. He is dead, and I still hate him strongly and curse him. He is not a good king, he never goes to court to deal with state affairs, and he has no justice or shame. He regards family honor as dog shit, but the gods have sent him to him. throne."

"Your Majesty, please allow me to sacrifice Jandry and Bara to the Red God. From then on, you will never have to hear the names of these two people again." Melisandre said again in pain.

The acting prime minister's hand Davos stared at the king closely, touched the lucky charm on his neck with his right hand, closed his mouth tightly, and kept silent. In the face of the king's gloomy anger, it is wise not to speak.

"Let me dedicate Gendry and Barra to Lahlo, Your Majesty." Melisanne's melodious voice seemed to sing, "The ancient prophecy will come true, and your dragon will be awakened and spread its stone wings. Eliminate all rebels for you and unify the seven kingdoms."

The young bachelor Palos fell on one knee. "Your Majesty, let Mrs. Melisandre awaken the dragon in the stone, and turn all the rebels and thieves to ashes. Like Aegon, you will set off from Dragon Stone Island and ride the dragon to let the rebels and the false The capital will bear the anger from the Son of Light."

If the Christian Fellow sees his successor so superstitious about the Red God and kneels down to beg the king, he will definitely be **** alive.

Bachelor of Xuecheng is not a believer in Red God.

"Your wife also begs you, great Stannis, my husband." Queen Cyris knelt on her knees in front of the king, her hands folded like prayer.

"They are my blood relatives, women." King Stannis said coldly, his voice was like ice and snow in the North, "No matter what the truth is, the child is not at fault. And now, I'm on the Iron Throne. Ed in the North. The adults can return from the waterway to White Harbor in the north in only ten days. The Robert Warhammer is equipped with the most powerful oarsmen, and 600 oarsmen can row day and night. The rebellion in the west, there is Lord Ed in the rebellion. do not worry."

"As for Lan Li, I have become king. If he does not obey my call and does not come to King's Landing to swear allegiance, I will smash the Wind's Breath and put his head on the tip of a gun. There is also the river bay, I will not They need to swear allegiance, because I will destroy the Tyrell family, even if he comes to be loyal, I will destroy the rose and re-establish a new lord."

In the War of the Usurpers more than ten years ago, the Tyrell family led an army to besiege Stannis for more than a year. Many of his loyal subordinates either died in battle or starved to death or died of illness. This is Stannis' blood feud. Although it has been 14 years, the souls of his subordinates, their faces when they were dying, have been shouting in his heart, appearing, and have never stopped.

Melisandre still didn’t give up. She gently put her white and tender hand on the king’s arm: “The King of Light cherishes chastity and punishes corruption, so there is no more suitable sacrifice than Gendry and Bara. Born from the blood of the royal family and the pure sacred fire."

Davos saw that Stannis seemed to be slightly shaken, and he immediately said: "I don't know dragons, nor gods... But everyone knows that kinslayers will be cursed forever.

"Stop talking! The sacrifice of Gendry and Barra will never be mentioned again." Stannis glared at Ed Stark, "The eternal prime minister of the kingdom, a bunch of crows keep in my ears. Cack, can't you stand up and say something for me?"

"Your Majesty, I don't need to say more, you have made the most wise decision." Ed Stark said lightly.

His bet with Melisandre, he won.

Not because of the ability to predict, but because he understands Stannis's character, which is wisdom.

Stannis is an upright, just, honorable and decisive king before the mountains and rivers are exhausted. This is also the fundamental reason why he overthrew Cersei's support for Stannis. He is stubborn, narrow-minded, and revenge is bound to be avenged, but he has a righteous side if he is not exhausted.

Ed Stark looked at Melisandre, and when he glanced at her, he saw her unwillingness and deep frustration sting.

Melisandre's eyes swept across the shadows, and then the flames reignited.

Obviously, she wants to prove herself again! ——The King of Light, the only true **** in the world. This is still an insurmountable difference between her and Ed Stark.
