Chapter 552
High Sparrow and Robert Strong walk under the statue of the Father of Justice, one-knee kneels face to face, with Cersei standing between the two.
An old Septon stepped forward, holding a polyhedral crystal in his hand, holding it high on the top, the candlelight and the skylight projected by the dome met the crystal, and immediately scattered thin colorful rays of light.
Septon turned the crystal to angle the rainbow light so that it hit Cersei's face.
Then he looked holy and pious, and in a high, solemn, almost chant voice called out to the Father statue: "Father of justice, Mother of mercy, Maiden of light, Smith of industry, Warrior of bravery , Crone of Wise, Stranger of Mysterious...
Look carefully and witness for your Lamb to find out the truth in Cersei Lannister Soul!
If she If he is innocent, please return his freedom; if he is guilty, he will be punished."
"It's a bit low, but I still use crystals to create momentum..." Dany right hand propped his chin and whispered. road.
"Guess who will win? I'm the banker, High Sparrow is torn into two pieces, 10 for 1, how?" Tyrion smiled and said with a gauze-wrapped right hand.
"Who is betting with you? The big guy will win, it is known." Jhiqui pursed his lips.
"It is known." Irri nodded in agreement."He's so strong, and he's wearing iron armor, so he's sure to win." Jorah shook his head and sighed.
“Your Majesty, do you bet?” dwarf asked Dany with a smile.
"How much capital do you have, dare to bet with me? I don't care if I lose. If High Sparrow gets the help of The Seven and turns against the wind, can you afford it?" Dany gave him a sideways look. .
"There are winners and no losers, it is known." Tyrion shook his head.
"Okay, bet small, 100,000 gold coins, just the return of the bribe you handed over to Xaro last time!"
Dany doesn't think The Seven can really bless High Sparrow, but Think, maybe dwarf can move out of the Great Pyramid with a lot of money.
It’s okay to eat, drink and live here, but I still like to go out in the middle of the night...
A few people are gossiping, and Septon has already told the nobles And the civilian representative Nodded signaled, seeing that no one objected to becoming a witness of this competition, he put away the crystal and left quickly.
Queen Dowager Cersei was also taken by Ser Meryn and Warrior's Sons.
Before leaving, Cersei gave High Sparrow a meaningful smug smile—just as she had encouraged High Sparrow to arrest Margaery that day.
Afterwards, Lancel handed High Sparrow a Spiked Mace, a thirty-centimeter long oak handle and a corncob-style hammer.
It's very small and looks very light.
White Cloak Boros hands the greatsword with a golden handle to the oath brother.
Maiden is as wide as a palm, as tall as a High Sparrow neck when erected, cold light shining, the cutting edge has many gaps the size of a grain of rice, but it is polished extremely sharply, exuding a compelling baleful aura.
It's really a tool of death, hundreds of King's Landing people who said nasty things on the day of the Cersei parade became the departed spirit under this sword.
High Sparrow turned around, raised his hammer to face the Smith statue, and shouted, "Fight for The Seven and Justice!"
Without a seat in the Sept, Cersei stood Under the glass window on the east side, there are big nobles such as Kevan, Euron, Randyll Tarly and so on.
Robert Strong did not speak, but turned his huge body and respectfully raised his sword to the Queen Mother.
As Justice of the Seven Kingdoms, Randyll Tarly receives partial jurisdiction.
"The Seven testimonies, trial by combat, start!"
Robert Strong took a step forward, just like an ordinary person splitting a stake, holding a sword in one hand and slashing towards High Sparrow's forehead.
A white unrolled bolt of white silk flashed inside the Sept.
“bang!”
The gravel splashed, a pothole the size of a wine glass was smashed into the marble floor, and all the seven or eight floors around were cracked.
"hua!" Everyone exclaimed.
It's both the strength of White Cloak and the agility of High Sparrow's sideways dodge.
Not to mention the live audience, even Dragon Queen, who was watching the live broadcast, was sweating for the good churchmates at that moment.
White Cloak didn't stop. After slashing with the sword, it swept the sword again. The thick and long tree trunk-like right arm and the blade that was nearly one meter four, the destruction area was as high as two and a half meters. The giant blade brought The strong wind even made the candle flame in front of Divine Idol sway in one direction.
What a High Sparrow!
At this time, Lord High Septon seemed to have really become a Sparrow, and he stooped in the direction of the greatsword swing, his knees fell, his head was thrown back, and the blade was a palm-width away from the tip of his nose.
Just like that, kneeling by sliding, skillfully dodging a blow.
"What, what did High Sparrow do before?" Tyrion bulge, shocked.
"He must be a Warrior, a soldier!" Jorah said with absolute certainty.
"Maybe, he's a juggler." Dany was uncertain.
Actually, Big Bear guessed right.
High Sparrow is not a juggler, but a veteran!
High Sparrow has a very similar experience with Septon Meribald of the Riverlands, a young soldier, after hundreds of battles, his heart is ashes, he becomes Broken Men (ps), converts to The Seven, becomes a barefoot Septon, and spends the rest of his life as Seven Kingdoms people serve.
In a few words, High Sparrow dodged another seven or eight attacks from White Cloak.
He's as weak as Sparrow and as dexterous.
"Coward!" cried the henchman with Cersei: "The Seven is up, High Sparrow are you letting The Seven see what a funny coward High Septon is?"
"Yes Fight just and honorable!" Many nobles echoed in unison.
"High Sparrow deliberately, even if the real Robert is here, fully armed, and wielding the greatsword with all his strength, he won't get tired for a long time." Big Bear hesitantly said.
He said that he was a little unconfident, because White Cloak Robert didn't even breathe, like a perpetual motion machine, without feeling tired.
"A normal man swings his sword ten times, at least he's out of breath, but he doesn't even change his movements. It's strange." Dorne Quentyn frowned.
"Ser, look at the ground." Tyrion said suddenly.
Robert is so powerful that every blow, as long as it hits the floor, will send rocks flying and potholes.
"High Sparrow miscalculated, Robert wasn't tired, but he was starting to sweat. The point is that he's barefoot, I don't believe that stepping on sharp rocks doesn't affect his movement." sighed dwarf.
Theoretically, he was right, but High Sparrow also sensed oneself's predicament and quietly changed tactics.
White Cloak approached forward, one step at a time, High Sparrow looked blank, his eyes fixed on the enemy's right shoulder, kept retreating, and calculated the pace of the two.
Robert swung his sword and attacked fiercely. He judged the position in advance, and jumped back lightly, just in time to jump over a pit - he prayed every day in Sept, and scrubbed the marble floor with his own hands. A pit location.
Then Robert stepped out in one step, sinking the back half of his iron boots into the pit, and crooked...
"ahhhh!" Cersei exclaimed.
"Damn it!" an experienced Knight excitedly said in your clansman group.
"Seven Hells! Are you going to turn it around?" Tyrion was stunned.
"puff!" Robert reacted quickly, immediately retracting his sword and stabbing the ground as a crutch for support.
The crooked huge monster once again stabilized its figure.
But High Sparrow didn't stop, or rather, this was the situation he had painstakingly created.
He rushed forward like lightning, jumped up, and slammed the corn hammer on Robert's left shoulder, shouting "Smith's Fury".
In the eyes of everyone in disbelief, the silver-plated iron hammer in the shape of a corn cob actually "beeped" and exploded a group of holy white flames the size of a watermelon.
A sacred and solemn aura emanated from the white flame.
According to High Sparrow's original idea, with the "Smith's Hammer" that can crack the iron shield, it should be able to abolish Robert's left arm, then he spins around and hits the back of White Cloak's head with the hammer superior.
The reason why he didn't directly attack the forehead is because the opponent can block with his free left hand.
But he encountered an accident. Others saw Holy Fire on the hammer, only shocked that The Seven might appear, but Robert Strong was evil, Holy Fire approached, as if being poured hot oil Intensely stimulate | stimulate.
Even Saint Dany himself has overlooked one point: Dragonflame is already the fire of the strongest magic breaker, and Dragonflame with Smith divine power adds the "Lawful Good" attribute of divine and righteousness, which doubles Evil Power magic breaker effect.
Yes, the white flame on the High Sparrow hammer is the Dragonflame driven by Smith divine power.
Dragonflame is also a Magic.
Evil God can bestow oneself's diving technique on sacrificers, R'hllor can bestow believers with the ability to resurrect the dead and control flames, and Big Black, as a serious "Smith", can of course also Give believers a dive technique.
From birth to the present, Robert, who has not uttered a single syllable, is like a beast stepping on the beast trap, sending out a howl that makes Soul tremble.
Then he let go of the hilt of his right hand sword, like embracing a lover, his arms clasped together, and wrapped around High Sparrow.
"It's going to happen!" Dany changed color and quickly informed Big Black to increase support for High Sparrow's divide power - don't deduct that 50% profit.
"Ah, High Sparrow is miserable." Tyrion and the others also exclaimed.
"Hammer bellows, the fire burns (a prayer in Book of the Smith)!"
High Sparrow also looked distorted and roared in the face of mutation. Voice.
“bang!”
Holy Fire swelled in a circle on the hammer, as if a round of Sun landed straight on Robert's left shoulder.
“ao ——click——”
High Sparrow was hugged, Robert’s left face was scorched by fire, and a fire hammer was hit directly on his left shoulder. howl.
High Sparrow's spine was broken, Robert's left shoulder was roaring with Holy Flame, his shoulder armor was cracked, and the pure snow-white cloak "hong" caught fire.
"Lord High Septon!" the Septons and Sparrow wailed.
“Witchcraft, High Sparrow uses sorcery, is the evil Sorcerer!” screams Cersei lost self-control.
"Ah, both sides suffer, what is that flame? Is it really Smith's Wrath?" The representatives of the nobles and commoners were horrified and at a loss.
If they see White Flame for the first time, if this is not the Great Sept of Baelor, they will also think High Sparrow is a Sorcerer like Cersei, playing with Fire Sorcery.
But more than half a month ago, there was news from Church that High Septon was blessed by Mother and received the Smith divine technique.
Although everyone is wondering: Why is the Smith divine technique not given by Smith, but from Mother?
But they have all heard the follow-up story: High Sparrow, who never knew about forging, suddenly turned into a Smith Grandmaster and forged a steel sword higher than the lost Smith Grandmaster Tobho Mott.
The above thoughts all appeared and disappeared in an instant, and the situation on the field had a new change.
High Sparrow had his spine broken, his ribs crushed, blood foaming from his mouth, but his hands didn't stop moving. He raised his hammer again and was hitting the left side of Robert's iron helmet - probably Temples's. Location.
"clang!" The nut fixing the face armor and the helmet was smashed and fell off, and the fully enclosed helmet like a bucket cracked into several pieces.
Robert's small half-length face is revealed to High Sparrow and the audience behind him.
"What are you...what are you?" High Sparrow pupil shrinks, swallowing blood and shaking.
