Chapter 265
Dany knelt down on the blanket in front of the Maiden statue, reciting the Noon prayer verse from Maiden in Seven-Pointed Star.
High Sparrow knelt beside her and joined in prayer.
"Kasha, I don't know where you are from, is there any problem with taking out 20,000 Golden Dragons at once?" After praying, the two knelt under the Maiden statue and chatted.
The deposit receipt of 20,000 Golden Dragon has a unique digital number in the world, and the detailed information of the deposit can be found out according to the number. That is to say, if High Sparrow took the deposit certificate to withdraw money, 80% of them could guess her identity.
Of course, High Sparrow may also directly use the deposit receipt to exchange food on the other side of the Narrow Sea.
But Citadel will definitely inform Iron Throne Dragon Queen of Oldtown's appearance, so Dany feels no need to hide from High Sparrow that oneself has been to King's Landing.
"My Lord High Septon, I'm afraid you have noticed that when I first saw you, I should have knelt down and kissed the back of your hand, but I didn't do that. Do you know why?"
"I'd like to hear the details." High Sparrow said curiously.
Don't say Dany is an unknown person, even if Queen Dowager Cersei and Tommen come to Great Sept, they should kneel and salute when they see High Sparrow.
Because High Septon is the representative of The Seven in the world.
"Because I'm a High Septon too." Dany said something that shocked High Sparrow.
"You, are you sent from the Oldtown Starry Sept... no, no Septa has ever been crowned High Septon."
"And those who are in your heart from Oldtown The fearful Most Devout has nothing to do, I'm from the Essos continent." Dany shook his head.
Oldtown Most Devout is certainly afraid of High Sparrow.
The Septon who wiped the floor I saw in the corridor just now is the original Most Devout from King's Landing.
High Sparrow started out as a stray country Septon in the Three Rivers basin, relying on a group of beggar troops to force Most Devout, who was in a closed election, to elect him as High Septon with an axe.
After that, they were deprived of their splendid life of fine clothes and food, and they could not eat without working every day... There is a country called Devout Torbert because he is too fat and starving in the whole King's Landing. Next, he was sinful - the High Sparrow judged.
Now she is locked up in a secret room and repents, and she can only eat a small amount of bread and water every day.
——These news are all on the way, Dahan Shiquik told her.
"Uh, Essos continent also has the Church of The Seven?" High Sparrow looked strange, is this Miss Kasha a liar?
It is true that both Church of The Seven and Andals originated in the Upper Rhoyne plains, but the race competition on the Essos continent is too fierce.
In terms of technology, Andals' iron smelting technology is still learned from Rhoynar; in terms of Magic, The Seven does not exist at all, and the Seven priests have no transcendent power.
Thousands of years ago, the last kingdom of the Andals was burned to ruins by the Valyria Dragonlord with a hundred dragons.
"I am the one who established the Church of The Seven. Apart from dozens of knights anointed with holy oil, there are only a hundred or so little Septa being cultivated."
High Sparrow was stunned. Startled, he asked, "Where is the Church built?"
"A remote place in the east of Volantis, which happens to be in the blank area of Red God's power."
I heard that it was just remote. The little Church of the land, High Sparrow, immediately believed the words of 'Kasha' High Septon, and at the same time was a little disappointed in his heart, so little Church, I'm afraid it won't be long before he will be submerged by the Red God believers?
"Priest Kasha, why are you giving so much money to King's Landing when you're in a tough situation?" High Sparrow asked hesitantly.
"Hehe, our Church is small but not short of money."
"Priest Kasha has been to Oldtown?" High Sparrow remembered where the deposit slip came from.
"I have been, but not as an exotic Church Most Devout. In fact, the Church of The Seven I founded belongs to the 'new religion', if Lord High Septon goes with Oldtown loan shark Most Devout , I won't say the identity of oneself at all."
"New religion?" High Sparrow frowned, and asked with some displeasure, "Have you revised the teachings of The Seven?"
"Ai, the whole world is about to be dyed red by the Lord of Light, I have to improve Church's survivability!" Dany helplessly said.
A round of battle strength, Church of The Seven is not even worthy of shoes for Red God priests.
"Even if it's difficult to survive, is the Church of the Seven who has changed his teachings still a Church of The Seven?"
"Your High Septon, what you're doing now is very much in line with the new religion. Doctrine."
"How is that possible? My actions are strictly in accordance with Seven-Pointed Star." High Sparrow angrily said.
"Abstinence and frugality you proposed are one of the core spirits of the new religion." Then Dany explained the concept of Puritanism.
Different from the Elder faction (constitutional monarchy) and the radical faction (abolition of the monarchy, republic) in British history, Dany added a lot of Confucianism and Taoism, and restricted the monarch's rights. However, it strictly abides by the political proposition of "father and son".
"Puritan | Apostles, this, this..." High Sparrow was indignant at first, but gradually, looked thoughtful, suddenly realized, and finally rounded his eyes, his expression was both excited and yearning , "This is the ideological realm I have been searching for! High Septon Kasha, you are Saint Baelor alive, and you will surely leave a splendid page in "The Seven Classics" in the future."
" Hehe, it's a lot of fun."
Saint Baelor doesn't matter, the abstinence I propose is not a narrow ban on the desires of men and women,
"It's just that High Septon Kasha is still a bit Conservative," High Sparrow slapped his mouth and said still, "Church shouldn't be subordinate to the monarchy, and under The Seven, our children are all equal." .
She should have thought of it long ago. With what High Sparrow did - even Cersei and Margaery were locked up, they were the most radical Puritans!
"Your Excellency High Septon, I fully understand your thoughts and aspirations, but have you thought about the counterattack of the great nobles?" Dany reminded.
She will not challenge Iron Throne in a short time, let High Sparrow toss Cersei and Tyrell well these few years!
"The Stars and Warrior's Sons are the strongest shields of the Church." High Sparrow believes.
"Well, I'm telling the truth, don't you be angry?" Dany grinned, "Stars is just a farmer who puts down his hoe, and when he encounters a fully armed armored Knight, ten thousand can't beat the opponent's two. Hundreds."
"Warrior's Sons are real Knights anointed with holy oil, and we now have a hundred Warrior's Sons." High Sparrow said proudly.
"Not enough, far from enough," Dany shook his head again and again, "not to mention whether Warrior's Sons, who have both noble and religious identities, is credible, a hundred Knights are too few. You are challenging the authority of Iron Throne!"
"There are indeed fewer people, but why not believable? They all swore before The Seven."
Swearing works Prince Rhaegar wouldn't have violated the Holy Marriage Law, the Battle of Usurper wouldn't have happened, Robb Stark wouldn't have broken the Holy Covenant, and the Red Wedding wouldn't have happened.
There are also Queen Dowager Cersei, Queen Margaery...
However, it is a gentleman's advice. The two just met for the first time, and some words can only be stopped.
Dany secretly sighed in his heart and continued to dig a hole for Cersei: "Your Excellency High Septon, you still have a fatal hidden danger."
"What hidden danger?"
"What you do is not recognized by all the Most Devouts, if Iron Throne decapitates you, I'm afraid..."
When Dany first watched "Game of Thrones" I also think that the scene of Cersei bombing the Great Sept of Baelor is unreasonable. After all, High Sparrow is not a "wandering practitioner". If one person dies, the whole family will die.
Except North, the other six countries have Great Sept and Most Devout.
Especially in Oldtown, Starry Sept has always been the main court of Church before Aegon the Conqueror appeared, and the Church there is no weaker than King's Landing.
You blow up King's Landing Great Sept, wouldn't the Most Devout elsewhere avenge the High Sparrow?
Now that Dany understands, he really doesn't.
The sudden appearance of the High Sparrow has split the Church of The Seven.
He and all the rest of the Most Devout are completely different, otherwise, with the financial resources of Oldtown Church Bank, why would High Sparrow sell crowns and buy bread for gold?
High Sparrow also understands that oneself doesn't like other Devouts. Of course, he hates the group of Most Devouts who only know how to eat, drink, prostitute and kidnap beautiful little boys.
But for the safety of oneself, he is very confident, "There are thousands of Stars here, and no one can hurt me."
"I heard a very terrifying thing ," Dany lowered his voice and said nervously, "King's Landing has a secret passage under the three high hills, and even a Wildfire buried under Targaryen. If someone ignites the Wildfire under the Great Sept of Baelor, then.... .."
"Impossible, right?" High Sparrow looked suspiciously, "I checked myself and there is no secret passage under Sept."
"Hey, how did Duke Tywin die? "
"This..."
"deng deng deng..." There was a sudden sound of rushing running in the quiet hall, and the two stopped talking, Looking back, I saw the one-armed hero Lancel hurried over.
"His Excellency High Septon, Randyll Tarly brings army into Saint Baelor Square and declares that if you don't release Queen Margaery immediately, you will bloodbath the Great Sept!"
I go, old fatty Sam Dad is so kind?
Dany suddenly wanted to go out and meet the Westeros 'fourth' player.
"Only Queen Margaery?" High Sparrow asked with a frown.
"Yes, Earl Tarly is a Highgarden bannermen, and only asks for the release of Queen Margaery."
High Sparrow's expression softened, nodded his head, and said slowly: "I'll go out and meet you. Earl Tarly."
"By the way, arrange for Kasha churchmates-"
Dany volunteered: "I'll come with you, I'm Knight, I can protect you."
"That's fine." After a moment's hesitation, High Sparrow agreed.
entire group quickly left the Sept hall. On the stone steps outside the gate, Dany took the sword from White Cloak, explained a few words in a low voice, followed behind several Warrior's Sons, and headed to the front square. go.
Arc shields painted with the pattern of walking hunters lined up a wall, ignoring the tents, mud houses, and carriage houses in the square, advancing slowly, the iron guns shining cold light through the gaps in the shield wall tie it out.
Earl Tarly's soldiers are not many, no more than a thousand, but with that sturdy temperament and firm fearless fighting spirit, thousands of poor people will be crushed into scum all at once.
The refugees and the Stars shouted, cursed, and threw bricks, mud, sticks and other debris at the soldiers behind the shield wall, but they couldn't stop the shield soldiers, they could only shout in vain' The Seven comes to punish the sinner'.
On the Scripture Lecture stage, you can see the armored generals behind the spear and shield soldiers standing tall on the horses, surrounded by thirty or forty cavalry, and the riders holding the blue flag of the walking hunters.
The High Sparrow arrives, and the crowd is noisy, splitting from one side to the other like a tide.
The shield wall on the opposite side also cracked a trail, and Earl Tarly dismounted and walked alone to High Septon, who was surrounded by Warrior's Sons.
