Chapter 967
Dany takes a stroll around the Red Keep.
Most of the buildings at the top of Aegon's High Hill collapsed, leaving a huge crater and a few towers remaining on the cliffs only against the sea.
About two months have passed, and almost all the towers and pits have been cleaned up. The masonry of the collapsed buildings has been used to reinforce and heighten the city wall of Red Keep.
The pit has been changed to a stepped drill field, which seems to be modeled after Free City's gladiatorial arena.
Second Stag and Aunt Mel live in the decrepit Queen Dowager's Tower. They share the same room, the same bed, the lights are off, and Dany guesses they're asleep.
The White Sword Tower, where White Cloak originally lived, has become the Crown Prince's Palace, a warm study on the second floor. Four Kings", as she tells the story of the young Dragonlord's conquest of Dorne.
Second Stag's wife, Selyse Florent, is also in the White Sword Tower, but the queen lives on the seventh floor.
The sound of howling and cursing drifted into the wind from the window, wu wu swallowed, crying like a ghost in the wind.
"Shireen, my daughter, you have true dragon blood, even the Black Dragon of Daenerys likes you... Great Lord of Light, bring back the Demon Dragon, my daughter There is the blood of True Dragon, she has ridden Black Dragon, can be Dragonrider, hahaha... Splash people, I took you in and made you a confidant of King, but you want to burn my daughter, I kill you, wu wu , Shireen"
This devout disciple of the Lord of Light, an admirer of Melisandre, is mad.
Dany only sympathized with Shireen's experience, but didn't like seeing this crazy woman, because she found Aunt Mel and she introduced it to Second Stag.
Other people believe in Red God with political purposes. Even Second Stag is not so devout to Red God. He is more for oneself's mission to save the world.
Selyse is a true R'hllor fanatic.
How crazy is it?
When Aunt Mel proposed to sacrifice her uncle to R'hllor, she not only did not discourage it, but strongly supported it.
Aunt Mel will actively participate in the ceremony held by Aunt Mel.
Then, the last sacrifice she attended, ceremony, was her daughter.
When I started to sacrifice Shireen, even though Second Stag, who had lost his integrity, was struggling in pain, Selyse persuaded: I wait for believers, I should sacrifice everything for R'hllor, Shireen returns The embrace of Red God is also the best destination.
When Shireen cried and called mother under the lick of flames, mother's nature finally triumphed over faith.
Selyse repented, struggled like crazy, shouted her daughter's name, and rushed to the fire desperately.
But Shireen's shrill cries were lost in a shadow rising from the red flames.
So, belief is really not a good thing, and fanaticism will make people lose themselves.
If you need faith to paralyze the most difficult moments in your life, you must also believe in Spiritual God whose teachings are people-oriented. Even if you believe in The Seven, don't believe in Evil God who can respond.
With a sigh at the White Sword Tower Queen's Residence, Three-Eyed Dany leaves King's Landing.
In an instant, she goes to Casterly Rock and sees the scrawny Jaime.
He was like a ghost, wandering in the Hall of Heroes with an oil lamp in the middle of the night, his eyes fixed on the dark place ahead, and he murmured the names of Cersei, father and uncle aunt.
What's even weirder is that he called "Tyrion" a few times.
This weird scene made Dany's scalp go numb.
Casterly Rock is a city excavated by mines. At the bottom of the sea, there is a tomb of House Lannister, called "Hall of Heroes".
Once, this place was full of coffins, and now the Weirwood coffins more than 10,000 years old are also burned together, and replaced by "ancestral tablets" promoted by Dragon Queen.
Westeros go to the tomb and pray before their coffin when they remember their ancestors. Now that the coffins are burned, there is no place to commemorate the ancestors, so the Dragon Queen taught them to set up tablets and build ancestral halls.
For example, now, Jaime's eyes are staring straight ahead, just because there is a row of staircase walls in front of him, each staircase represents a generation, and there is a row of ancestral spiritual places.
Because the ancestors can be traced back more than 500 generations, one wall is not enough, only one wall in five hundred years, a total of 22 walls.
Compared with placing a coffin, the spirit position does save more space and money.
In the past, only the great nobles were qualified to build tombs for their ancestors, and neither ordinary people nor low-level nobles could afford it. Now the situation has changed, and even hoi polloi can set up memorial tablets for ancestors.
Of course, the ancestral hall can also show the family heritage, even more obvious at a glance.
In Westeros at this time, almost every household can see the ancestral tablets. If it wasn't for the Westeros who didn't have yellow skin and black hair, and the spiritual position was also an alphabetic language, it would make people think that they had traveled to ancient times.
Not only the tablets of the heavenly style, but also the way of offering sacrifices to ancestors has also changed.
I saw Jaime come to the outermost stone wall, step up the First Rank ladder, climb to the height of half the wall, there are Tywin, Joanna, Kevan, Genna, Gerion, Tygett, Cersei, William , Tyrek, Joffrey, Tommen, etc., are all direct relatives of Jaime within three generations.
He put the oil lamp next to Cersei's tablet, pulled Su Su with one hand, and untied a cloth bag from his waist, which contained a strange cork stick with the thickness of chopsticks and incense sticks.
Jaime rubbed out three sticks of incense sticks and stuck the tops into the lantern's mouth. After lighting, the fire star went on and off, and a wisp of soft white smoke rose up. floating inside.
Jaime then inserted three smoking incense sticks into the small incense burner in front of the Cersei tablet and said a few prayers.
Uh, this is incense.
Dany finds it odd to see Jaime, with fair hair and blue eyes, offering incense in a very respectful and holy manner.
"Ai, Cersei, I regret it. I shouldn't have killed you in the first place. It's better to die than live. With you by my side, at least I won't be alone."
Jaime After a long talk, half of the incense burned, and then three incense sticks were taken out from the cloth bag and lit, and inserted into the small copper stove in front of the Tywin tablet.
"father, you can rest assured, Casterly Rock has recovered... well, I told you about it."
Jaime stood there for a while. I was stunned, feeling that I had nothing to say with my father, so I continued to the next one.
Time it takes to burn a stick of incense on mother, Jaime was dumbfounded for a while, speechless.
Afterwards, he silently added incense to his uncle and aunt, and unexpectedly appeared when he was incense to Gianna's aunt.
Or rather, Mother's bad taste.
Aunt Jaime and Jaime have nothing to say, so I plan to continue to give some incense to the paternal male cousins.
Suddenly, the smoke line curling up in front of Jaina's tablet wrapped around an ellipse, and a human head drilled out of the round frame.
It was a boxy, fat woman with fair hair and blue eyes, a broad, flat face, a neck like a pink pillar, and a majestic and towering chest.
"Jaime?" the fat woman called tentatively.
"clang when" Jaime tilted his head and kicked the Great Emperor Jof's tablet and the incense burner over in fright.
"Seven Hells, Genna aunt, tell me now, I'm dreaming, or dazzled." Jaime twitched his face, trembling.
The fat woman is too fat. She squeezed and squeezed hard in the cigarette coil, making a "boo" sound, like a champagne cork popped out of the bottle.
"Oh, you can't be more filial, this incense is too thin." Fat Genna complained while rubbing his greasy arms that were squeezed.
"This, this, this..." Jaime backed away in horror, "I saw the undead?"
"What are you afraid of, I am the undead, and also your aunt !" Genna said angrily.
"Uh..." Jaime thought, yes, my own aunt, what's there to be afraid of?
He was already timid, came back to his senses, walked straight forward, gently touched aunt's cheek with his left hand, there was no temperature, but a faint texture, like a fluffy cotton ball.
"Genna aunt, why did you stay in the world and didn't go to Heaven? Did you die without indulgence?" Jaime said curiously.
"Ai, I just came up from Hell and was about to be promoted to Heaven. I heard your summon halfway and came over for some reason."
"What? You went to Hell Where's the indulgence?" Jaime was startled.
"Don't mention it, indulgence is not an exoneration certificate, it can only cover 50 sins, I have committed too many crimes, I have 52 points, and I still have 2 points left to redeem, and I have to serve 200 years in Hell! ' Fat Genna lamented.
"Ah, I thought I could get on Heaven if I got indulgence." Jaime complexion greatly changed, "Even an easy-going good guy like you has 52 sins, then Cersei..."
p>
Fat Genna's chopping block face showed a hint of hesitation, "Cersei is indeed in Hell, I have met her a few times.
But indulgence is not useless, it always gives people a chance , as long as the atonement is completed, you can go to Heaven.
Without indulgence, the atonement can only stay in the first layer of Hell, waiting for Stranger to arrange reincarnation.”
“Hell is suffering. Suffering?" Jaime asked quickly.
Fat Genna seemed to remember something, shivered shivered, and the fat on her body trembled like ripples.
"It's bitter, it's too hard. If Mother gives me another chance to live again, I must be a good person who is not greedy, promiscuous, or cruel," she said sincerely.
"You've always been a good person! Why do you keep indulgence and still get down to Hell?" Jaime wondered.
"Of course I am good to your brothers, Lannister and Casterly Rock, but I am unfaithful to my husband and unkind to the common people. I am guilty!" Fat Genna confessed.
"What do you mean?" Jaime still didn't quite understand.
"I've had four sons, none of which are your uncle's."
Jaime immediately believed because Genna aunt stole men, from Casterly Rock to The Twins , is not a secret, even Uncle Emmon knows.
Many people are also discussing in private that none of the four children are like Emmon, they may all be wild species.
But no one dared to question the identity of Genna's sons, including Old Walder.
Because Genna is Tywin's sister.
"It's not so, the big cousin Cleos has obvious Frey characteristics." He said with a smile.
"Ai, that's my seed with Old Walder."
"What???" Jaime jumped and exclaimed.
"If it wasn't for the sin of creeping back, why would I go to Hell? 30 sins, accounting for more than half of the sins in my life." Genna lamented.
"Why? I've heard you like looking for handsome and strong cousins in Lannisport, but Old Walder is ugly, old and bad-tempered, how do you like it?" Jaime exclaimed in disbelief.
In the early years, Genna was not fat, and her appearance was not as good as Cersei's, but her shrewd and capable lady temperament was far better than her.
“Old Walder loves face the most, and Tywin has always looked down on him, so he wanted to get back on his feet by humiliating his younger sister. That old man was still very strong in his early years, and I also hate his son for being too cowardly, too cowardly, Too stupid and incompetent, I want to get revenge on him, but I find it very exciting, and after being teased a few times, I just push it halfway..."
