Chapter 877
Cersei didn't even care about Church, and Septa Moelle and two Warrior's Sons were still standing outside the Queen Dowager's Tower when calling on the people to leave King's Landing. The other three Septa returned to the Great Sept for their Mother's Seal.
“Saint Matthew went to see Stannis outside the city yesterday. Starting this afternoon, the Vale troops outside Linhe Gate have withdrawn to King's Landing 20 kilometers away, and the 100,000 Poor Fellows will leave first.
This evening, they must cross the Blackwater Rush and enter the area of Kingswood.
Tomorrow, people and nobles who are willing to move south with Saint Matthew will set off one after another. Stannis promised not to attack King's Landing for a week. ."
The former "Four Flowers of the Holy See" was the only one left in Septa Moelle. In loneliness, she opened the upper and lower windows of the wooden door and took the initiative to chat with Cersei indoors.
Well, Queen Dowager's Tower only has Septa and Sinner Cersei, Church Knight and Red Keep guards outside the tower, and there is no Septa grandma summon, waiting to enter the tower.
Cersei is a tiger-wolf woman with a criminal record for adultery, and both the royal family and the Church need face.
Of course, the Regent Royal Husband Euron can come in at any time to spend a spring night with his wife. After all, Cersei is only doing penance to atone for his sins, and he didn't really escape.
"Helicent and the others aren't coming to Red Keep?" Cersei huddled under the covers, revealing only a small head.
“They were promoted to white clothed Devout by High Septon after they were transferred to Cleric, and now they each lead dozens of young and strong youths in Septa cultivation, come to Red Keep to be the supervisor, isn’t it overkill?” Old Septa Moelle said sourly.
The four of them have the same life experience-an abandoned baby picked up by Church, and entered Septa Academy at the same time (Church has a department dedicated to cultivating Septon and Septa, and in Oldtown Citadel, there is even a Church for the children of nobles to study. School), graduating in the same class, and assigned to work at Great Sept at the same time... Checking Little Rose's hymen together (the time Cersei reported her daughter-in-law for adultery), corporally punishing Xiao**** she repents together; tossing Whore Queen together Dowager, also used corporal punishment to make her repent of her crimes.
Afterwards, she shaves her hair for the queen mother together, accompanies the queen mother on a street walk, and is hated by the queen and the queen mother together.
Wait for Cersei to imprison herself, and they will oversee her penance.
The four of them are the "Game of Thrones" version of Wet-Nurse Rong, no, more awesome than Wet-Nurse Rong. Wet-Nurse Rong also tossed a few folks, but the Holy See Four Flowers dealt with the Queen and the Queen Mother Lafayette.
After several decades of wind and rain, they finally separated.
Old Septa Moelle is still a hostile teaching mammy, but the other three sudden enlightenment in Saint Matthew's sermons, become amiable white clothed Devout, and accept dozens of people. Septa apprentice.
“How many people are going to leave?” Cersei said without thinking.
"Maybe 300,000, maybe more, by choice. Traveling thousands of miles, freezing weather, lack of food and clothing, only those who can't survive King's Landing will leave." Septa Moelle sighed .
"Can Storm's End hold that many people?" Cersei wondered.
"Not all of them go to Storm's End. Dragonstone's Imperial Family fleet is here. In addition to delivering food for the migrating team, they will also bring the old, the weak, the sick and the young to Driftmark."
Said Here, old Septa suddenly sat up on the soft couch beside the small charcoal stove, found the hammer from the corner, opened the door, walked to the window by the sea, knocked down with the hammer, and smashed a hole the size of the mouth of a bowl.
"hu hu!" The cold wind is like Valentine's Day night. The young man who was waiting outside the love hotel room for his long-distance girlfriend to change clothes and open the door can't wait to rush into the room and kiss the old Septa's dry and mean cheeks violently. Thin white hair.
With the biting cold wind entering the window, there is also a large amount of golden sunlight, and the interior is suddenly brightened.
“Saint Matthew is willing to endure the shame of piercing the sun in order to save you. I am not as good as Saint Matthew, but today I am trying to offend Euron, and I will also break this window for you.” Old Septa stomped Hammer, devotion to righteousness that inspires reverence.
Then, she explained: "Blackwater Bay is now full of ships, all of which are Lord Pope's Imperial Family fleet, and there is a little Sun suspended in the sky."
Church only Supervising Cersei's penance and penance, he never thought of taking care of her little dark room.
It was Euron who asked must seal the windows and balconies.
The day before yesterday, Septa Arlatin helped Cersei clean the bedroom, and also smashed the brick wall and window that separated the balcony, but Euron immediately blocked them again when he knew it.
Even though Septa tried to dissuade him in every possible way, he only left a hole for his thumb in the direction of the wall facing the Great Sept of Baelor, and inlaid a thick crystal glass.
"Mother's mercy!" Cersei got up and ran to the window excitedly.
But after just one look, she howled, "Isn't that my galleon? The biggest one, with eight hundred oars, is the Duke Tywin? And 'Sweet Cersei' And 'Brave Joffrey'. Damn, they're all my ships."
Well, the backbone of the Dragon Queen Imperial Family's navy is the ten galleons that Aurane Waters lured from Cersei.
But at this time, there are hundreds of great ships flying the "five-colored dragon flag" in Blackwater Bay, including the family fleet of Claw Isle Celtigar and Driftmark Velaryon, and some 80 that Dragon Queen loaned from Braavos for free. great ship.
It's just that all sea ships are not as huge as Cersei's galleon, so Cersei recognizes oneself's ship at a glance.
"I understand, it's all Daenerys' conspiracy, I've long guessed that the bastard has a bright face and a lot of dirty tricks behind his back, only didn't expect even my Grand Admiral is hers Spy," she gnashing teeth said.
Septa Moelle looked down at the hammer with the thick bowl mouth, struggling in her heart, should she be bored directly on that noisy thatch-headed little head.
"Hey, didn't Sun disappear? It's still so short." Then, Cersei was attracted by the little Sun 300 meters above the sea.
The size of a bathtub for soaking clothes, the rays of light are radiant, warm and soft, and the scenery within a few kilometers is clearly visible, reminding Cersei of a summer morning a few years ago.
"That's the elf of light given to Lord Pope by 'Maiden'." Septa Moelle put down her hammer and looked at Sun reverently: "Only The Seven can dispel the darkness and bring light to the world. Maiden of Light is the real Lord of Light, and R'hllor is a false god."
Cersei exclaimed: "Even if the title of 'Lord of Light' is robbed, Church is going to fight with Red God. A war?"
Moelle shook her head and laughed at herself: "I'm an ordinary old mammy, just casually say, if R'hllor is going to be angry, then he's too irritable."

Cersei snatched the hammer from Crone's hand and slammed it against the window a few times, only to leave a hole where his head could stick out.
Ignoring the wind and cold, she stuck her head out of the wooden hole and squinted to feel the rays of light. Although it was taken away by the icy north wind in an instant, Cersei really felt the warmth of the sun.
After a while of wind and sun, Cersei also began to pay attention to the ships on Reach.
The Blackwater Rush pier is not visible from her angle, but every now and then boats come from Blackwater Bay into the river in a blind spot, and sailboats return from the river to the bay and continue east.
Across the distance, she could also see that the deck was crowded with thousands of people. She couldn't tell the difference between men and women, young and old. She could only vaguely feel that they were all messy, and they should be unkempt poor people. .
"It's strange, how could Stannis agree to let these people go? The more people there are in King's Landing, the more troops there will be when the Others come. He doesn't understand such a simple truth?" Cersei wondered. .
“Only the living can defend the city, and those who starve to death in the corner of the sewer will only become the companions of Wights.”
“King and nobles are single-mindedly vying for power and profit, and they fight again and again, regardless of the lives of commoners.
King's Landing has not collapsed to this day, thanks to the hundreds of thousands of tons of grain purchased by Saint Sparrow with Church Bank as collateral." Old Septa coldly said.
"What's your attitude?" Cersei glared at the old Septa and said confidently: "If you want to blame the group of scoundrels and thieves, if they don't rebel against me, how can they fight again and again?"
"You didn't mess with the Kingslayer, didn't murder King Robert, why did they rebel?"
"What do you old Septa know? The reason for rebelling doesn't matter, because they Iron Throne, you can find countless reasons with just a few flips."
"I don't know anything, except that you and the rogue thieves you call are the same thing." Old Septa said.
Cersei reluctantly sighed then said, and changed the subject: "When Saint Matthew saw the Red Heart Demon, did he convert him?"
"Of course, Mother is merciful and saves all beings. Saint Matthew not only converted the Red Heart Demon, but also tried to persuade the Red Heart Monstress to repent and be saved, to convert to the right path."
"Red Heart Monstress? The Red Priestess beside Stannis?" Cersei was interested and asked again and again Said: "How many times did they stab Lord High Septon?
I heard that Red Woman can drive shadows to kill, Mother's Divine Palm decisively fights shadow puppets, isn't it wonderful?
The golden body Mother and Lord of Light R'hllor have appeared?"
"No, not at all." Mammy Moelle shook her head and severely criticized: "You treat Saint Matthew and Mother as part of the troupe. The juggler, it seems that many days of ascetic practice has no effect at all, you are not saved."
Cersei immediately said: "Mother have mercy, I am guilty, I repent, but I am also concerned about chaos. Do you think Think, how can a person who is insensitive to Church's affairs and future be considered a devout believer? The more excited I am, the more I can prove my devotion to Mother!"
The old lady thought about it, the sinner's words It also makes sense, his face softened, and he said slowly: "The last time Saint Sparrow and Euron fought, it was only because Euron insulted Mother with slander.
Facing Saint Matthew 'Sea of Bitterness is boundless. Repent and be saved ' persuasion, Stannis and Red Woman, although flustered and exasperated, only let people beat him.
Well, the group of flaming red heart Knight punched and kicked High Septon, but even the sword Didn't pull it out."
"A group of Knights besieged an old man?" Cersei exclaimed.
Moelle nodded unnaturally gently>.
“Did Saint Matthew fight back?” Cersei asked again.
"No, even if he was beaten to the ground, he still had a heart of compassion and kindness, chanted Holy Scripture, and tried to influence those heathens with words and a spirit of great compassion." Old Septa lowered his head in embarrassment .
"Where's Church Knight? Warrior's Sons and Poor Fellows? Seeing High Septon being beaten into a dead dog and no one going up to help?" Cersei could hardly imagine the scene.
"The Church of The Seven has lost all face."
Even she felt a little ashamed at the moment.
"Saint Matthew won't let us help him."
"Then what should he be beaten for? He failed to convert Euron last time, didn't he learn his lesson? ' Cersei grinned.
Old Septa's expression was even more strange, "In fact, the experience of converting Euron the day before yesterday strengthened his determination to convert demons."
"Why?"
