Beric Dondarrion, known as the Lightning King and the original Earl of Blackhaven City,
While serving in King's Landing, he was sent by the then Prime Minister Ned Stark to the Riverlands to exterminate "bandits".
"Of course, everyone knows that this bandit is the Lannister Mountain! His features are so obvious."
When Lin heard this, he said to Arya: "Look, how cunning that Tywin is! He first sent the Mountain out disguised as a bandit, and waited until Robert died and your father was imprisoned before he officially raised his banner.
It's the exact opposite of Robb's eagerness to send troops!"
Berry sighed: "This is not the only opposite. When we first came here, we were righteous, and Magic Mountain and the others were bandits. Once the Prime Minister died, Magic Mountain became legal, and we became criminals who violated the royal law!
"
Needless to say what happened next, Earl Bailey decided to stay here. They upheld the law, protected the civilians, fought against the Lannister, and gained the support of many civilians.
Out of respect for Lord Ned, Beric agreed to send Arya back to her mother and brother, but he had to wait a few days until all their people returned.
Arya was very surprised,
Several people stayed here temporarily,
Lin En discovered that these people were not believers of the Seven Gods. They believed in a niche god called the King of Light, and they often prayed to the King of Light under the leadership of Thoros.
Lin En didn't know who their King of Light was, and didn't feel anything unusual.
The next day, Linn found Lord Berry,
"Then you must be short of money, right? After all, there is no military support from King's Landing."
When Lin En saw the equipment of these warriors, he could only describe it as rudimentary, with very little armor and old weapons.
"I have some gold here," Lin En said, taking out two ten-pound gold bars. "Although they are not gold coins, the purchasing power of gold is similar. If you can find a place to exchange it for gold coins, there is actually no difference.
!”
After saying that, he handed it to Lord Berry,
Berry reached out and took it without hesitation, "Of course there is no difference! Originally, the seven families were secretly minting gold coins, but now the situation is chaotic, and gold can also pass through!"
Putting it in his hand and shaking it, he said, "This gold is enough for us to buy dozens more sets of armor. Linn, tell us your request! These are not given to us for free, are they?"
Linn smiled,
"No request, just thank you for sending Arya back for me!"
"If it is delivered safely, you can send someone to King's Landing to inform me. I still have ten times the gold as a gift!"
After so many days of understanding, Linn believed that these people would send Arya back, but it would certainly be better if there was some insurance.
Barry stood up and said solemnly to Linn, "I agreed to send Arya back out of respect for Lord Ned, but I still accepted the gold! We need it and promise to use it for the right purpose."
The place!"
Linn nodded, "This is exactly what I expected."
A few days later,
With the return of the members of the Brotherhood Without Banners, they also brought new news,
Stannis of the Second Deer did not choose to directly attack King's Landing, which was closer. Instead, he attacked Renly's fief of Storm's End of the Third Deer.
When Renly, who was leading an army of 100,000 people on their way slowly, found out, he asked the army to pause while he led his men back for reinforcements.
Unexpectedly, he was assassinated in the military camp.
The Knight of Flowers, an ally of the Highgarden family, was heartbroken, even more heartbroken than Little Rose, the sister who had just married Renly, and vowed to avenge him!
Among the 100,000 troops under his command, except for the 80,000 troops supported by Highgarden for Renly to withdraw, the remaining 20,000 Stormlands troops went to Stannis the Second Deer. After all, they are all vassals of the Baratheon family.
From then on, Erlu's target was only King's Landing, which had only six thousand gold-robed defenders. Erlu's military strength increased sharply. Whether it was sea battleships or ground troops, he had an absolute advantage. As long as he broke through King's Landing and executed Joffrey and Ser.
Hopefully, he is the legitimate king and the only legal heir.
In this situation, Tywin has only two choices, one is to return to the west to defend his hometown, and the other is to support King's Landing.
Finally, Tywin led the army out of Harrenhal yesterday and headed west to block the young lords to prevent them from going south to Casterly Rock and raiding the Lannister home.
Order Tyrion to take his mercenaries and mountain tribesmen to King's Landing.
…
"It's time for me to go!" Linn said goodbye to Arya,
Arya clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, raised her head stubbornly, looked at him and said, "Lynn, when can we meet again?"
Lin En touched her head and said, "As long as you want to see her, you can always see her!"
"Besides, if nothing happens, I can go find you. For a young lady like you, it should be easy to find out where you live, right?"
Arya ignored his teasing and said hurriedly, "It's a deal, you must come to me. If you don't come, I will go to you!"
Linn nodded in agreement and handed Arya a box, "It doesn't look like a girl at all. I picked this up and gave it to you."
Arya reached out and took it, opening it to reveal a silver necklace.
The material does not look like silver. The pendant is a woman with wings. Her wings and hands are clasped in front of her chest in prayer, as if she is guarding something.
…
After Linn left, Arya felt a little depressed. At night, Berry and Thoros lit a bonfire together and gathered together to pray to the Lord of Light.
Arya is not a believer in the Lord of Light. It should be said that she has never heard of this god at all. People in the north believe in the old gods and pray under the weirwood trees.
Except for the North, most people in the Seven Kingdoms believe in the Seven Gods, namely: Heavenly Father, Holy Mother, Warrior, Maiden, Blacksmith, Old Woman and Stranger. It is very common to have churches.
The King of Light that the people of the Brotherhood Without Banners believe in prays under the leadership of the red-robed monk, and Soros is the red-robed monk among them.
It is said that they can see prophecies in the fire, and they have been working hard to find the savior and save the world that is about to be engulfed by darkness and coldness!
Although Arya didn't understand their beliefs, she at least knew how to respect others and stood aside to watch without making a sound.
Until the climax of the sacrifice, when everyone knelt down and worshiped together, the necklace Lin En gave her began to heat up, and she was wondering,
In an instant, the bonfire stopped beating!
The stars in the sky stopped flickering and fell in front of her. A soft silvery white light enveloped her. In the light, there seemed to be another invisible figure wrapping his arms around Arya to protect her!
Thoros, Berry, and the other Brotherhood warriors watched all this in stunned silence!
The light in their eyes was hazy and soft, just like the sun that rises first in the morning. Although it is not orange-red, it is as tranquil as moonlight and as warm as the sun!
Under this light, everyone felt a sense of relief, just like drinking a cup of hot milk tea on a snowy day, sitting by the stove and feeling the warmth of the fire from the inside out!
"Lord of Light! Is this the person you protect?" Thoros was so excited that he trembled and knelt on the ground!
This is the first time he has personally experienced this "miracle"
Apart from resurrecting Berry, he didn't know what happened!
Lin En, who was hundreds of miles away, looked back in this direction...
