Chapter 356

Castle Black.

The conning tower, the king's bedroom.

The night outside the tower is as cold as ice, but the fireplace inside the house is burning brightly, and blood witchcraft is in progress.

"Daenerys is gone, and we didn't give us a chance at all." Stannis lay on the bed with his head resting on his arms, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. "Compared with me, she is more like the Child of Prophecy."

"Um, ah, oh, ya, hey, ha, hey, hey"

The red-robed woman shook her curly red hair that was wet with sweat, and kept chanting "the spell of blood magic" in her mouth.

"She is not the child of prophecy. You and I are absolutely sure of this. She has never been seen in the holy fire." Melisandre said.

"But she has dragons, and she can activate the Lightbringer, and the ambition and the will to end the night," Stannis gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty, am I replenishing your mana right now? She has activated part of the runes of the Lightbringer. After I analyze them thoroughly, you will be able to use my magic power to drive the red sword.

Alas, it is still a pity that the Lightbringer has not been completely unsealed, otherwise "

After a pause, she continued: "As for dragons, she can hatch dragons, and you can also hatch dragons from stones. I reminded you of this long ago."

"Edric, my nephew, but he has already been let go by Davos." Stannis puffed up his cheeks, gritted his teeth, and said, "Is it still too late if we kill him? Or, use Mance Ray with his sons, who have the blood of kings."

"I can only tell you that the more sacrifices, the more pure blood of the king, the greater the chance of success."

After a moment of silence, Stannis asked: "How did that woman hatch the dragon? Was it true that she sacrificed three relatives to His Majesty R'hllor as the legends say?"

Melisandre squirmed slowly, her cheeks reflecting a coquettish red light under the firelight.

"Regarding this point, His Majesty the King of Light did not respond to my inquiry. The holy flame is uncertain, and not everything can be foreseen."

Then, she said in a firm tone: "But a wise person can understand after careful consideration that this is the truth.

Long, long ago, when we first met, Robert wasn't dead, and Daenerys wasn't even married to the horse king.I propose to you, sacrifice the king's blood to hatch the dragon. "

"Well, I should have listened to you then." A gleam of regret flashed in Stannis' dark blue eyes.

Feeling a little bit of magical power flowing into his body, Stannis groaned and frowned again: "But at the dinner party, we mentioned that the Free City State hatched dragons through sacrifices, but Daenerys swore that hatching dragons would not Sacrifice is required, and the theory of sacrificing the person you love the most is a paradox. It is also said that the slave owners in the free city are crazy."

"Hey," Melisandre smiled seductively, "with your wisdom, can't you see her intention? Everyone wants a dragon, and after getting a dragon, he hopes to be the only dragon knight."

Stannis nodded emphatically, affirming, "Anyone in the world who isn't stupid knows she's lying, that she wants to keep the dragon to herself.

It is precisely because she is afraid that the people of the free city will hatch the dragon that she rides the dragon around and robs the dragon's eggs. "

"Yes!" Melisandre said appreciatively.

"But her fourth dragon didn't sacrifice a loved one," Stannis wondered again.

"Hmph, this is where she is so good at deception." The red-robed woman said confidently, "Did I ask His Majesty to sacrifice my beloved one before?

no?

Because blood is blood, power is real, and the king's blood naturally contains the magic power of the king.

Look at the ending of Robb, Joffrey, and Balon, the three false kings, and you should understand that I am not lying, the blood of the king is powerful. "

"You mean" Stannis suddenly realized, "she was hatched with the king's blood from the beginning of the dragon, but she was afraid that others would follow suit, after all, she was not the only one with dragon eggs.

Then, she intentionally articulated a paradox—sacrificing the person she loves the most to hatch the dragon.

If I hatch a dragon according to her theory, anyone who is sacrificed will definitely not be the person I love the most; and if I love someone more than a dragon, I will not sacrifice him.

In such an unfalsifiable paradox, her lies will never be exposed. "

"Your Majesty is extremely wise!" Melisandre praised sincerely.

"What a cunning woman!" Er Lu sighed, dragging a small wooden box from the bedside.

Many red runes were carved on the surface of the black wooden box, and when the lid was lifted, there lay a blood-red dragon egg covered with deep purple spots.

The red-robed woman took a look at the dragon egg, and said with a triumphant smile: "There are runes carved by me on the box, and the breath of the stone egg is completely blocked, even if the box is placed in front of the Mother of Dragons, she won't be able to detect it."

"Dangdangdang" Erlu knocked on the dragon egg a few times, frowned and said: "I don't know which era the dragon egg is completely petrified."

"Because it became a stone egg, the Targaryens of all ages didn't bother with it, giving you the opportunity to dig it out from the depths of the dragon's lair on Dragonstone Island." Melisandre laughed.

"She sacrificed the horse king, Viserys, the little prince in her belly, three kings, hatched three eggs, and the fourth one." Erlu showed hesitation, "The fourth dragon will never be that Lys maid?"

"Hehe, not every king is as kind and just as you. Because of this, you are the real son of prophecy." Melisandre said with a sneer as her eyes flashed.

"How?" Stannis asked curiously.

"Was that maid really killed by an assassin?" A sneer flashed in Melisandre's eyes.

"Could it be?" Stannis's expression changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice, "Just to maintain that lie, she deliberately killed her closest maid?"

The red-robed woman didn't answer this question directly, but smiled lightly and said, "I'm sure that the fourth dragon egg was still hatched by the blood of the king.

Think about it carefully, Astapor, Kaiyuan, and Meereen, how many good, sage, and great lords have died?

They are all royal families with a history of more than 6000 years! "

"Hiss—" Stannis gasped, "This is very different from her heroic, heroic and righteous performance on the Great Wall. That woman is not what she appears to be."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped.

It seems that she is just like him!

He is also brave, upright, and tough, but he also has a shadow in his heart - Renly and Cortnay Penrose

Perhaps, every glorious and stalwart hero has an unknown dark place deep in his heart-this is the bumpy road that the lonely king must pass through!

Suddenly, he felt some sympathy for the Dragon Queen.

Melisandre had been close to him for several years, and she guessed his thoughts through the darkness in Erlu's eyes in an instant, so she changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, she robbed Varan on the way to Westeros." The eggs of Theth, and hundreds of kings, or descendants of kings, in Volantis and Lys at the same time.

Those people are all purer and nobler bloodlines of Valyrian nobles than Targaryen bloodlines!

You have to hurry up, I'm afraid that the fifth dragon will be born soon. "

"Hey, why are there so many blood kings in Essos, but I have only one insignificant wildling king." Stannis was a little indignant.

"It's a pity for that old Aemon, let him run away, his king's blood is very strong!" Melisandre said regretfully.

Stannis shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if Aemon leaves or not. As long as she's alive, we can't touch him."

"Uh..." Melisandre raised her head, her body stiffened, and she remained motionless. Waves of magic power suddenly rushed towards Stannis' lower abdomen, and the flame runes flashed rapidly on his strong abdominal muscles, and he couldn't help moaning| Moan out loud.

"Are you alright with so many?" Erlu worried, looking at the pale face of the red-robed woman.

Melisandre stood up, put on a red robe, walked barefoot to the window, pushed open the wooden window, the cold wind howled in, and the red hair and red robe swayed fiercely in the wind.

Looking at the towering ice crystal city wall opposite, she said with a complicated expression: "Don't worry, the Great Wall is a place of miracles, containing vast magical power. Here, my mana is growing every moment."

"Ka, Kaka——" The crisp sound of ice breaking came from a distance, and there was a black mark on the ice surface, crawling from a distance like lightning.

"Boom!" The roar of the iceberg bursting suddenly resounded over the silent Castle Black.

The eyes of the red-robed girl are about to crack: a crack two fingers wide appears on the Great Wall of Ice Crystal, as conspicuous as a scar on a beauty's face, it is still crawling, going up, down, and east

"Ahhhh," she yelled frantically, covering her head, "the power is disappearing, the Great Wall is about to collapse!"

"Ah, the Great Wall is cracked!" On the top of the Great Wall, under the Great Wall, the night watchman yelled in fear with his face twisted.

"Ah, the Great Wall is about to collapse. Someone blew the horn of winter." A savage shouted in horror.

"Crash!" At this moment, a piece of ice the size of a bed fell off the 70-meter-high city wall beside the King's Tower, smashed the suspension bridge between the tower and the wooden staircase, and rolled down again, leaving a thunderstorm on the stone floor. like noise.

For a moment, the night watchmen and wildlings in the entire Castle Black were alarmed, and many of them were still naked and barefooted, running around and screaming like madmen in the martial arts arena.

"Great Wall, what's the matter?" Stannis said with a pale face as he hurried forward.

At almost the same time, Eastwatch.

"Great Wall, what's wrong?"

Queen Selyse was wearing a single dress, hugging her daughter tightly, looking out of the window at the Great Wall with falling ice crystals, her face twisted in horror, she murmured the same question as her husband.

"Mother, I'm afraid." Princess Xilin shrank into her mother's arms with fear in her eyes.

"Under the Great Wall, the wind is blowing. The wind I've been waiting for is here. Let's take a long voyage, oh oh oh, I know, I know, it's time to find the treasure!" The patched face next to him waved his arms, twisting his fat body body, singing loudly.

Princess Shirene turned her head to look for her jester, but as soon as she met his gaze, she was startled by the strange look in his eyes and sat down on the wooden floor.

It was a kind of blue eyes that had never been seen before, sacred and majestic, deeper than the trenches in the ocean, greed and madness, like the sea water rolled up by a tsunami, almost turned into substance and overflowed from the eye sockets.

"Ah Ding, stop screaming, you scare me!" She shrank her neck and wiped her tears.

The jester clown's body twitched and trembled a few times habitually, the words in his mouth were vague and out of tune, the madness in his eyes turned into funny, and his greed turned into stupidity.

He returned to his foolish appearance again, clapping his hands and laughing foolishly to the princess: "Under the Great Wall, the wind is blowing, the wind I was waiting for is coming, oh oh oh, I know, I know, the baby has appeared! Oh oh oh "

Although the ballads were similar, Shireen felt inexplicably relieved and laughed too.
