Chapter 1011
"Thanks to Lord Knight for sending Deziel's Golden Dragon, and thanks to Deziel's trust in Dragon Queen, a large amount of food was stocked up before Long Night came."
"What a large amount." Deziel shook his head, "early Knowing that Long Night is real, we don't need to spend three Golden Dragons to buy this house at all, and now the house price has plummeted, and the loss is very bad."
"wu wu wu " Suddenly, rumors outside the house spread Come loud horns.
"Three..." The two men looked at each other in shock, "Others siege the city!"
The sound of the horn became more and more urgent, and there were urgent shouts of soldiers on the street .
"Hurry up, hurry up to eat, the three of us have joined the Church Forces, and 80% of us have to participate in the defense of the city." The old man said eagerly.
"If you have a full stomach, you can at least be a full-fledged Wights."
The old father-in-law really guessed right. In less than half an hour, a city-state guard shouted along the street: " Others are coming, adult men without Church background, report to the city wall garrison; those with Church background, hurriedly report to their respective churches, and the rest of the elderly, women, and children also go to the shelter arranged by Church.”
The old father-in-law burped a salty burp that smelled of meat, closed his mouth immediately, swallowed the meat gas back, and hurriedly grabbed a handful of pine needles and chewed it in his mouth, while chewing while asking his son-in-law, "What should I do now? As a family, we have enrolled in three schools, who will the child go with?"
"Something's wrong, I'm afraid it's not a small fight this time." Deziel is also chewing on the bright yellow and green pine needles, facial expression grave. : "How about you take Dyna and Jaime to the Great Sept?"
Hanna frowned: "I joined the Red God Church, my father joined the Divine Religion of the Land and Sea, and every week from the Church To receive one kilogram of bran noodles, if you don't order Mao today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to receive relief food in the future."
Although the Crocodile God died, his Church still remained. Existing for many years as the Guardian God of the Pentos city-state, Divine Religion of the Land and Sea is also the richest Church.
Also, although the Crocodile God died, soon another Evil God imitated the story of the Dragon Queen and contacted the Royal Family who believed in the Divine Religion of the Land and Sea. The two sides made peace and reached a win-win agreement: The Royal Family allows Evil God to occupy the magpie's nest, and Evil God blesses the Royal Family with safety.
And the reason why the Deziel family joined different churches is not all to receive an extra portion of relief food.
Red God is the mainstream belief in Free Cities. Deziel's deceased old mother-in-law has always believed in Red God, and Hanna joined Red God Church later.
The old father-in-law belongs to the old-fashioned Pentos and believes in the native Spiritual God, which is God of the Land and Sea.
It goes without saying that Deziel was born in Stormlands and has been serving the nobles who devoutly believe in The Seven like Selmy, and of course he has believed in The Seven since he was a child.
When Seven Hidden founded Sept in Pentos, Deziel was the first believer to pray, even rejecting Varys' bounty, volunteered to be the Fifty Cent Party, and wooed a group of Andal neighbors to give Welcome to the newly opened Great Sept.
When Seven Hidden left Pentos later, he personally worked for Deziel baptism, turning him into Stars.
Well, Stars is the official name for the Poor Fellows and the Beggar Army.
Only with a local hukou and a registered believer certificate can you receive a small amount of relief food from Church.
However, The Seven believer cannot receive relief food.
Because of the new establishment of Great Sept, there is no way to store grain in advance, and there is no way to buy grain.
In fact, Pope Dany also issued a decree prohibiting Church from purchasing grain from the private sector.
Of course, Church of The Seven also has tricks to feed the believers. Septon will learn Slaver's Bay and organize believers to engage in a big Long Night production: go out of the city to harvest wood, plan tree roots, roll tree leaves, and summon small Sun goes to the ocean to fish.
This morning, Deziel joined the beggar army and went outside the city to peel the bark and didn't return home until 2pm.
Compared with other families, the Deziel family is already considered upper-middle class, but once the old father-in-law and wife's Church relief food is given up, their life will inevitably drop a grade.
"Relax, Red God will protect me." Hanna said, looking at her struggling husband.
"Child..." Deziel gritted his teeth and snatched the baby boy from his wife's arms, saying, "Jaime is in Dyna's care, follow me to Great Sept.
Even if Pentos falls, Others don't even want to enter The Seven's glorious place."
Hanna still wanted to argue, but the old father-in-law grabbed her and whispered: "We don't know about Gods, but there are One thing is certain - Mother is the strongest god, far superior to the Lord of Light."
"R'hllor and Gods form an alliance to deal with the Dragon Queen, and the Dragon Queen is just a disciple of Mother." The old man was wise say.
Hanna was persuaded, took a reluctant look at the swaddling clothes, and began to put the patched pale yellow cloth robe on the oneself.
In the Red God Temple, only the Great Buddhist Monk who can represent Red God and have transcendent innate talent can be considered as Red Priest, and Red God priest apprentices are orange robes.
yellow robe is a temple attendant, a servant of the orange robe and the red robe.
However, yellow robes are also established by institutions, they are regular workers, and they serve iron rice bowls.
The employees in the system are much stronger than Monk Ye.
Deziel also gave oneself a tattered leather armor, draped in the gray linen robes of the beggar army.
When I walked out of the house, I found that the street was already brightly lit, and the torches, torches and braziers of the whole city were lit.
As if to scare the cold and dark monsters with these sparks?
Walking through the cluttered and panicked crowd, Deziel held his son with his left hand and his daughter with his right hand.
Seeing the Sept dome shining in all directions of the Holy Light Tower, he, like everyone around him, was inexplicably sighed in relief, slowed down and no longer panicked.
The daughter hugged the younger brother and walked into the basement of Sept's backyard with a group of old and weak women and children in the voice of the old mother. Deziel took the iron sword and the Dragonglass lance and found the Most Devout Haggon.
He will serve as Lord Devout's bodyguard.
Well, Deziel has a good political composition and a good resume (serving Dragon Queen and Seven Hidden successively), and is very trusted by the current Most Devout.
In Pentos, indulgence is divided a lot, but there are not many true believers in The Seven. Two hundred Warrior's Sons, five hundred beggar troops.
Among the Warrior's Sons, there are 30 more from Westeros, 10 Church Holy Knights, and 20 Named Warriors Knights, all of whom are first-class elites.
"Devout Haggon, Prince wants you to guard the East City Gate to defend against the corpses from the Valyrian road."
Soon, the palace guards rushed to Sept and handed it to Most Devout a letter of appointment.
"Others come from the east." A Holy Knight frowned.
The guard smiled awkwardly, approached Haggon Septon, and said in a low voice: "Sir Devout, forgive me, all Princes also know that the East City Gate is the most dangerous, but the entire Pentos, you are the strongest."
"With the beggar army, which is all civilians, we are only seven hundred." Haggon sighed.
The guards are from the Royal Family and know some secrets that only high-level officials know. Said with a bitter smile: "Church of The Seven has you, ten Cleric, ten Holy Knights, and a total of 21. The transcendent giant, much stronger than the other Churches."
"The giant..." Haggon's mouth twitched, "overrated."
I can't think of him as a Great Sept of Baelor's Level 2 Cleric has one day to become a transcendent giant.
Also, apart from him, the Holy Knight and Cleric of Pentos Sept are only Level 1 and belong to the marginal roles in the Holy See...
The guard said in awe: " You are too modest. In the last year, half of Pentos' transcendent parties were hosted by Cleric Nemir under your command.
Only the most powerful transcendent recognized is qualified to host transcendent parties, it is known. ”
Dragon Queen wanted to go to a transcendent party, but was rejected. Today, her little brother's little brother's little brother has become a transcendent boss and started hosting transcendent parties.
The transcendent party is not more than fame, let alone become a Grandmaster with one trick "connecting hair", it must be a grand competition of real magic power and transcendent knowledge.
In all-round competition, Mr. Nanguo and Baoguo Ma can't fish in troubled waters.
Haggon glanced at the solemn white-robed Cleric Nemir beside him.
The guy's Cleric level is not high, but he did Archmaester in his early years - one of the Archmaesters on the Naked Street, because he was a rare believer of The Seven in Archmaester, and was left by High Sparrow in Great Sept to repent and atone for his sins, and later The result is Cleric - because of the very rich knowledge of transcendent, he was arranged by Most Devout to go to the Pentos transcendent world and became famous.
Now it seems that the effect is not bad?
But Haggon hopes that Nemir can win over a group of transcendents to convert to The Seven.
The transcendent Cleric is stronger.
Half of the ten Clerics under his command were from the Imperial Mages of Dragon Queen.
Those guys are old greasy Free Cities guys, that's why they were sent to Pentos.
However, the transcendent Cleric and the Westeros native Cleric are still somewhat estranged.
The transcendent Cleric knew the details of Mother, but couldn't tell the Cleric colleagues in Seven Kingdoms in detail.
......
In the end, Most Devout Haggon accepted Prince's commission.
When they boarded the city wall, the Wights army had already entered within one kilometer of the city wall—the Pentos people had set up checkpoints outside the city, and when the horn sounded three times, the Wights were still twenty or thirty miles away from the city. kilometer.
In the darkness, Others came from the snow, riding a giant Ice Spider and resurrected dead horse, armed with the blade-thin Sword of Ice.
Warrior, who had a checkpoint warning of the corpse tide, escaped, crying, driving a sleigh to the direction of the city gate, and then was caught up by Wights horse, Ice Sword paddled...
They slaughtered everything in sight, humans and sled dogs.
next moment, the dead are resurrected and join the group of corpses that are densely packed behind Others, like a moving blanket.
"It's over, this time it's not a small Wights harassment, it's over a million, and no army can resist them!" Deziel murmured like a moan with cold hands and feet, "I should have thought, Qohor two months Before the fall, how could the Pentos next door be spared?
This Wights army must have come from Qohor, along the Valyrian road, all the way smooth."
"No, the Wights army from Norvos came, and there was Norvos between Qohor and Pentos.
Half a month ago, Norvos fell, and the whole city and surrounding villages and towns killed more than two million people.”
Deziel turned his head to look, but it was Holy Knight Arthur Errol, a young Noble from Stormlands Haystack Hall.
Well, the uninherited youngest son of the Earl family.
Deziel's hometown, Harvest Hall, is next door to Haystack Hall, and he saw Father Arthur several times in his early years. Although one is Noble and the other is a farmer, they are fellow villagers, and the two have always had a good relationship.
"Norvos fell too?" Deziel's throat was dry.
“On the Essos continent, except for the coastal Free Cities, almost all the inland towns have been occupied. According to the news from Dragonstone, in the last six months, from Narrow Sea to Jade Sea, more than 20 million human beings have died. Arthur said solemnly.
