Chapter 356
Castle Black.
Lord Commander's Tower, King's bedroom.
The night outside the tower is as cold as ice, the fireplace inside the house is on fire, and the Blood Sorcery is going on.
"Daenerys is gone, giving us no chance at all." Stannis lay on the bed with his head resting on his arms, his eyes staring at the ceiling, "She's more like a Child of Child than me. Prophecy."
"Um, ah, oh, ah, eh, ah, hey, eh..."
Red Woman shook the sweat-soaked red ribbon "Blood Magic's Incantation" kept chanting in his mouth.
"She's not the Child of Prophecy, you and I are pretty sure of that, there's never been a silhouette of her in Holy Fire," Melisandre said.
"But she has dragons, can activate Lightbringer, and has the ambition and fighting spirit to end Long Night." Stannis gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, aren't I filling your magic right now? Lightbringer has already activated some of the glyphs by her. When I analyze it thoroughly, you will be able to use my magic power to drive the Red Sword.
" p>
Alas, it's still a pity, Lightbringer hasn't been completely unblocked, otherwise..."
paused, she continued: "As for dragons, she can Dragon Hatching, so can you Demon Dragon hatches out of stone, I reminded you long ago."
"Edric, my nephew, but he's been let go by Davos." Stannis bulged his cheeks hard. Grinding his teeth, he said, "If he...is it too late? Or, replace him with Mance Rayder and his son, who both have the blood of kings."
"I can only tell You, the more sacrifices, the more pure blood of the king, the greater the probability of success."
After a moment of silence, Stannis asked: "How did that woman hatch the dragon? It's like a legend. Did you sacrifice three of your relatives to R'hllor Your Majesty?"
Melisandre squirmed slowly, cheeks reflecting coquettish red light in the firelight.
"Lord of Light Your Majesty did not respond to my inquiries about this. Holy Fire is elusive, not everything can be foreseen."
Then, her tone was firm. "But a wise man thinks about it and understands that it is.
Long, long ago, when we first met, Robert wasn't dead and Daenerys wasn't even dead. Marry the Horselord. I propose to you, sacrificing King's Blood to hatch the Demon Dragon."
"Well, then I should have listened to you." Stannis' deep blue eyes flashed a hint of remorse.
Feeling a little magic power flowing into his body, Stannis groaned and frowned: "But at the dinner party, we mentioned that Free City sacrificed Dragon Hatching, but Daenerys swears that Dragon Hatching Hatching doesn't need sacrifices, and the theory of sacrificing loved ones is a paradox. Also, the slave-masters in Free City are crazy."
"Hi," Melisandre smiled seductively. , "With your wisdom, can't you see her intention? Anyone wants a dragon, and after getting a dragon, he hopes that oneself is the only Dragonrider."
Stannis heavily nodded, affirmed: " As long as people who are not stupid in the whole world understand that she is lying, she wants to monopolize the dragon.
Because of the fear that the people of Free City will hatch dragons, she rides the dragon to rob and rob dragon eggs.”
"Yes!" Melisandre said appreciatively.
"But her fourth dragon didn't sacrifice a loved one." Stannis wondered again.
"hmph, this is where she tricks the brilliant." Red Woman confidently said, "Have I asked Your Majesty to sacrifice a loved one before?
No?
Because blood is blood, the power is real, and King's bloodline naturally contains the magic power of the king.
Look at Robb, Joffrey, and Balon. The end of the false king, you should understand that I didn't lie, King's Blood is powerful."
"You mean..." Stannis suddenly realized, "from the very beginning, she is the The dragon hatched by King's Blood, but she is afraid that others will follow suit. After all, she is not the only one with dragon eggs.
Then, she deliberately said a paradox - sacrificing her favorite Dragon Hatching.
If I follow her theory, Dragon Hatching, whoever is sacrificed is by no means my favorite; and I love a man more than a dragon, and would not sacrifice him.
p>
In such an unfalsifiable paradox, her lies will never be exposed."
"Your Majesty is brilliant!" Melisandre sincerely praised.
"What a cunning woman!" Second Stag sighed, dragging a small wooden box from the head of the bed.
The surface of the black wooden box is painted with many red glyphs. When the lid is opened, there is a blood-red dragon egg covered with dark purple spots.
Red Woman glanced at dragon egg and said proudly with a smile: "The box has my glyph carved on it, the breath of the stone egg is completely blocked, and she also noticed when the box was placed in front of Mother of Dragons. No."
"dang dang dang..." Second Stag tapped the dragon egg a few times, frowned: "I don't know which era the dragon egg was completely petrified."
"Because it became a stone egg, the Targaryen of all ages did not toss it, giving you a chance to dig it out from the depths of the Dragonstone Dragonpit." Melisandre said with a smile.
"She sacrificed Horselord, Viserys, little Prince in her belly, three Kings, hatched three eggs, and the fourth..." Second Stag looked of hesitation, " The fourth dragon can't always be that... Maid of Lys?"
"Hehe, not every King is as kind and just as you are, and that's why you are truly The Child of Prophecy." Melisandre's eyes flashed, said with a sneer.
“How?” Stannis asked curiously.
"Was that maid really killed by assassin?" A sneer flashed in Melisandre's eyes.
"Could it be?" Stannis' expression changed drastically, and he trembled: "Just to maintain that lie, she deliberately killed oneself's closest maid?"
Red Woman didn't answer this directly The question, only lightly said with a smile: "I'm sure, the fourth dragon egg is still hatched by King's Blood.
You think carefully, Astapor, Yunkai, Meereen, how many Good Masters died , Wise Masters, Great Masters?
They are all Royal Family with a history of more than 6,000 years!"
"Hi--" Stannis sucked in a breath of cold air , "This is very different from her heroic, heroic and righteous performance in Wall, that woman is not the same..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped.
It seems that she is just like him!
He is also fearless, upright and tenacious, but he also has shadows in his heart - Renly and Cortnay Penrose...
Perhaps, every ten thousand brilliance The stalwart hero of zhang has a dark place deep in one's heart that no one knows about - these are the bumps that the lonely king must go through on the road!
Suddenly, he felt a little sympathy for Dragon Queen.
Melisandre had been intimate with him for several years, and for a moment guessed what he was thinking by the dark look in Second Stag's eyes, and then changed the subject: "Your Majesty, she snatched it on the way to Westeros. Volantis' dragon egg burns hundreds of Volantis, Lys King, or King's descendants at the same time.
Those are all Valyria noble bloodlines purer and nobler than Targaryen bloodline!
You have to hurry, I'm afraid the fifth dragon will be born soon."
"Ai, Essos continent why so many King blood descendants, but I only have one insignificant Wildlings King." Stannis was indignant.
"It's a pity that old Aemon let him run away, his King's Blood is very rich!" Melisandre regretted.
Stannis shook the head and said, "It doesn't matter if Aemon leaves, as long as she's alive, we can't touch him."
"Uh... "Melisandre raised his head, his body stiffened, motionless, and the magic power suddenly rushed towards Stannis' stomach one after another, and the flame glyph flashed rapidly on the firm abdominal muscles, and he couldn't help moaning.
"So much...Are you all right?" Second Stag said worriedly, looking at Red Woman's pale face.
Melisandre stood up, put on the red robe, walked to the window barefoot, pushed open the wooden window, the cold wind whistling blew in, the red hair and the red robe swayed violently in the wind.
Looking at the towering ice crystal city wall on the opposite side, she said with a complicated expression: "Don't worry, the Wall is the land of Wonders, containing the magic power of the Smoking Sea. Here, my mana is always It's growing every minute."
"Ka, ka ka—" The crackling sound of ice cubes breaking came from afar, and there was a black mark on the ice, winding like lightning from afar.
"Boom ka!" The roar of the iceberg burst suddenly resounded above the silent Castle Black.
Red Woman eye socket cracked: A two-finger-wide crack appeared on the Ice Crystal Wall, as conspicuous as a scar on a beauty's face, it was still crawling, up, down, east.... ..
"Ahhh," she yelled frantically, holding her head, "the power is disappearing, the Wall... is collapsing!"
"ahhhh, the Wall is cracked!" Wall At the top, below the Wall, Night's Watch contorted its face and shouted in fear.
"Ah, the Wall is going to collapse, someone blew the Horn of Winter." Some Wildlings exclaimed in horror.
"crash-bang..." At this moment, an ice cube the size of a bed board fell off the 70-meter-high city wall next to King's Tower, smashing the tower and wooden ladder with a bang. The suspension bridge between them rolled down again, leaving a thunderous sound on the slate floor.
For a time, the entire Castle Black's Night's Watch and Wildlings were alerted, and many people were naked, running and screaming in the drill field like a madman with bare feet.
"Wall, what's wrong?" Stannis stepped forward, complexion pale.
......
About the same time, Eastwatch.
"Wall, what's wrong?"
Queen Selyse was wearing a single coat, hugging her oneself daughter tightly, looking at Wall with falling ice crystals outside the window, her face twisted in horror, muttering. Nan asked the same question as her husband.
"Mother, I'm afraid." Princess Shireen's eyes were frightened, and she squeezed into her mother's arms.
"Wall down, the wind is blowing, the wind I'm waiting for is coming, let's sail away by boat, oh oh oh, I know, I know, it's time to find treasure!" Patchface on the side He waved his arms, twisted his fat body, and sang loudly.
Princess Shireen turned her head to look for oneself's jester, but as soon as she met his gaze, she was shocked by the strange look in his eyes | sitting on the wooden floor.
Those are blue eyes that have never been seen before, sacred majesty, deeper than the trenches in the ocean, greed and madness like the sea water rolled up by a tsunami, almost turning into substance and overflowing from the eyes.
"Patches, stop screaming, you... make me scared!" she shrugged and wiped away tears.
The body of the jester clown habitually twitched and trembled a few times, the words in his mouth were vague and inaccurate, the madness in his eyes became funny, and the greed became stupid.
He returned to his foolish appearance, clapping his hands to the princess and laughing foolishly: "Wall down, the wind is blowing, the wind I'm waiting for is coming, oh oh oh, I know, I know, treasure It's here! Ooooooooo..."
The song is obviously similar, but Shireen felt inexplicably relaxed and laughed along with it.
