Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 101 Three Messages
A monk is an ordinary male clergyman of the Church of the Seven Gods.

The Seven Gods are the seven gods, the Father, the Mother, the Warrior, the Maiden, the Blacksmith, the Crone, and the Stranger, or seven incarnations of one god.

The Church of the Seven Gods is the most mature religious system in Westeros, and there are "Holy Churches" that specialize in religious ceremonies, such as the "Starry Church" in Old Town and the "Baylor Cathedral" in King's Landing; There is a strict hierarchy from monks to archbishops to archbishops, and there are the largest number of religious groups.

The old gods in the north do not have complicated religious ceremonies, and the restrictions on believers only exist on the moral level of opposing incest and deceased relatives, which are more like traditions and customs than religions;

R'hllor, the Lord of Light served by the red monk Soros, is an outsider in Westeros. The only believers are Stannis and his heirs. Even Stannis's most powerful subordinate, the onion knight Davos, doesn't believe in it. king of light
The Drowned God of the Iron Islands has only ironmen as his believers, and the only religious activity is the "drowned" by the sea. It is also the same as the old gods, similar to customs and traditions.

With these three trash dim sums accompanying them, the Church of the Seven Gods is simply in a position to benefit.From the small rural villages in the Riverlands, to the weapons workshops in the Western Territory, to the streets and alleys of King's Landing City, monks can be seen everywhere.

Among the many monks of the Seven Gods, the "big sparrow" in the original book is undoubtedly the strongest, in terms of power struggle, resourcefulness, and devout faith.

In the original book, after the death of powerful figures such as Tywin, this person suddenly appeared in King's Landing City and was elected by fanatical believers as the new archbishop. Queen Cersei negotiated, at the cost of exempting the Iron Throne from the church's 90 golden dragon debt and releasing the king's promise to protect civilians, and regained the power to form the church's armed forces.

In general, he is a good monk who is dedicated to the people.

In addition to being too dogmatic.

"People do call me the High Sparrow, Lord Arthur," said the man with a smile.

Arthur clicked his tongue twice, "How did you get here?"

This great god actually appeared in Harrenhal, and the lord of the Moulin Rouge was not sure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

He liked what the High Sparrow did for the common people, but he didn't like his presence on his own turf.

"I usually run back and forth in dozens of poor villages that cannot afford to build temples, naming their children, exempting the sinners from their sins, and healing and blessing the sick. It's just Lord Tywin's army that destroyed In some villages, most of the farmers ran out to take refuge, and I heard that you are taking in poor people here, I thought I should be able to help, so I came here."

The big sparrow explained the reason in an orderly manner.

Then he turned around to help bandage An Gai's wound.

"No hurry, let your colleagues help." Arthur stretched out his hand to pull back his shoulder, "Shall we talk?"

Although the big sparrow didn't know why, he still smiled and agreed to Arthur's request.

This is Ma Ke's residence. The monks are busy treating illnesses, and it's already a bit crowded. Arthur picked up a candle lamp and led him to his residence on the fourth floor of the Burning King Tower.

The lower three floors are the residences of Mrs. He'an and her servants and guards. After Arthur led the troops to settle in, most of the soldiers lived in the Wailing Tower, which was close to the Flowstone Garden, which was convenient for the soldiers to practice martial arts and wear armor.

The more than 2 refugees who entered the castle lived in the Widow's Tower and the Ghost's Tower, and some refugees with tents were also arranged to live in the castle hall, the Hundred Hearth Hall. However, the entire Harrenhal still seemed empty.

Thousands of refugees were sent to the upper floors of the five towers to clean up the rooms that had not been inhabited for a long time. Except for the disfigured tops that were burned by the dragon flames of Aegon I's legendary dragon Balerion, the entire castle still had a lot of space.

Arthur estimated that the ultimate capacity of Harrenhal was at least 5 people.

After entering the room, he lit two candles in his room with a candle lamp, and then let the "big sparrow" sit on the wicker chair by the table.

"How long are you going to stay here?" Arthur directly asked what he cared about the most.

The plan of this great god has to be figured out, if he wants to stay for a long time, then Arthur has to guard against him.

After all, the High Sparrow was able to attract a large number of non-believing war victims with its own charm, and used these victims to make him skip the "archbishop" level and become the archbishop.

It can't be that Arthur beats his life to death, and all the protected civilians become loyal believers of the High Sparrow, right?

"The mission given to me by the Seven Gods is to help his believers, so whenever they don't need my help, I will leave." He replied.

Arthur sat on the rattan chair beside him, thought for a while, and said, "King's Landing City originally had 50 million residents. Now because of the war, there are probably 10,000+ refugees pouring in from the King's Road. Why don't you help them?" where are they?"

If this person can be led to King's Landing, where he can fight for a few rounds with Emperor Joffrey who is still on the throne and the members of the imperial council who only discuss trivial matters, it will be really exciting.

At least Arthur wanted to know how the High Sparrow would deal with the relationship between the monks and Joffrey, who loved the people like a son.

"The people in Jun's Landing City need me, and the people in Hejian who have suffered from the war need me even more. I will stay in Hejian for a long time until the war is basically over."

Arthur was taken aback, and asked: "But a monk like you basically has no force to protect himself. What if you are killed by stragglers? Although King's Landing City is a bit crowded, it is still very safe compared to Hejian Land of."

The big sparrow still had that confused and optimistic smile, "If I am killed by evil people while helping civilians, then this is the fate arranged by the Seven Gods! My mission is to save the suffering beings. "

Arthur blinked, feeling that this very pious monk couldn't be persuaded, so he started another topic.

"What do you think of my various behaviors?" He had to know the future archbishop's impression of him.

If we get along better, maybe it will be a help in the future?

After all, this is someone who can step from an ordinary monk to an archbishop.

In Arthur's memory, only the guy from the beer hall could compare with the big sparrow.

"From the perspective of your efforts to prevent Gregor Clegane and others from their evil deeds, and to contain and protect civilians, you are a very good nobleman."

The big sparrow said slowly, paused for a few seconds, and added another sentence.

"But you have killed too much, and the Holy Mother will not forgive you. If you can convert and serve the Seven Gods devoutly, you may have a peaceful old age. In short, I wish you a long life."

The Virgin is one of the seven gods, and the most useless of them all.

Arthur thought for a while, all he killed were Western soldiers on the battlefield, but he kept the lives of those who surrendered.

However, the army from the western border invaded Hejian, causing hundreds of thousands of civilians to be displaced, and the food they robbed indirectly caused many civilians to starve to death.

"Your reason is too far-fetched, I..." Arthur was about to refute him, but he heard someone complaining outside the door.

"My lord, the leader of the Warriors, Wag Hott, has brought the three of them to the east gate. By visual inspection, they are all in the costumes of the Warriors. Do you want to let them in?"

The Warriors Group is the Blood Theater Troupe. On formal occasions, others call them more serious.

Arthur was arguing with the big sparrow, and didn't care about Wag, "After confirming their identities, ask them how to get out of trouble, and then let them in."

"Of order." The soldier outside the door turned and left.

After the sound of footsteps gradually disappeared, Arthur explained the reason for the murder with the High Sparrow.

But the monk insisted that killing is a sin, and the two went back and forth on the topic for several rounds.

Until there was a small harmony sound outside the door, and then it became louder and louder.

"Lord Arthur, all the warriors robbed He An's family of gold, and then ran towards the east gate." Someone rushed to the door and shouted loudly.

"what?"

Without caring about discussing with the big sparrow, Arthur asked the monk to stay in a safe place, rushed out of the room, and slipped downstairs.

The messenger soldiers held torches and illuminated the stairs and passages.

After running to Mrs. He'an's residence on the second floor, Arthur was relieved to see that the manager, Li Cha, and Mrs. He'an were alive and well.

"What's going on?" he asked.

Li Cha swallowed, and replied with lingering fear: "Wag ran to my room with his living brother and wanted to grab the warehouse key of my house. I ran to protect the master in a hurry and left the key on the road. This group of people That's why we let the two of us go, went directly to the basement to snatch the golden dragon, and then slipped away."

The manager spoke briefly, but Arthur heard a lot of information.

In order to save his life, Li Cha deliberately left the key on the road, and then everyone in the blood troupe snatched the gold and ran away.

"You stay here, I'll go to the east gate to have a look."

After ordering the surrounding night watchmen to stand guard at the stairs of the Burning King Tower, Arthur strode towards the east gate on the ground floor.

After walking a long way, he saw seven or eight torches held by the soldiers guarding the east gate.

"How's it going?"

The night watch soldier replied: "Commander Wager and the others said they were ordered by you, and led them out of the east gate."

Arthur asked again: "How long has it been, and how many people have gone out?"

"A dozen or so people. They have been gone for almost 10 minutes. Look, we just closed the iron gate."

Arthur thought that this number of people were all the members of the blood troupe who were still alive.

It seems that these few battles have used them ruthlessly, coupled with Mrs. He'an's misdemeanor, this group of people have evil intentions.

Fortunately, Arthur was in the Burning King Tower, but Wagga didn't dare to kill him.

"Call some people and go to the residence of the warriors in the Wailing Tower to check carefully, but if there are any members of the blood troupe, they will be tied up immediately and sent to the West Bingku Hotel under the Widow's Tower."

The West Bingku Hotel is the Harrenhal Dungeon under the Widow's Tower.

Arthur ordered, and he found his Guandao from the east gate, and returned to the Burning King Tower.

After making a fuss for a long time, I finally figured out the whole picture of the whole thing.

After Wa Ge came back, he took the members of the blood troupe who were not selected to rob the camp, and ran to the first floor of the Burning King Tower to find Li Cha, planning to rob He An's family of gold.

Li Cha is also a genius, "accidentally" lost the key, and Wa Ge who somehow found out where the gold was hidden in He'an's family took all the golden dragons and ran away from the east gate.

Although the He'an family has declined, their foundation is still there. The family savings are still several thousand gold dragons, and now they have all been robbed.

"It's okay, it's okay." Mrs. He'an waved her hand, "It's as long as you live."

She doesn't care much about money.

This incident taught Arthur a lesson, and he had to use passwords to restrain everyone in the castle in the future.

After all, the people in Harrenhal are very mixed.

……

Two days later, the barracks hall.

"Arthur, two good news and one bad news." Patrick shouted from a distance.

He came in from the door of the hall with a few followers.

Arthur was supervising Dickon and Bill's military training. Hearing this, he turned to Patrick who was coming.

"Let's talk about the bad first."

Patrick glanced at the recruit team, lowered his voice, and said, "Western soldiers will launch a tentative siege within a day or two. With the latest ladders and enlarged trebuchets, a large number of captured civilians may die." Lead the charge."

Arthur's face changed, this is really bad news.

The civilians are innocent, but they were captured by soldiers from the western border to attack the city.

After calming down, Arthur asked, "What's the good news?"

Patrick's voice was much more normal this time, "First, Wag and the members of the blood troupe have been killed by the Western Territory soldiers led by Amory Lodge. Their heads were stuck on javelins and stood outside the main entrance."

Arthur nodded, but said nothing.

"The second one is much more exciting." Patrick looked at Arthur with starry eyes.

"Speak quickly," the lord of the Moulin Rouge urged.

Patrick pursed his lips, and said loudly: "Tywin was hit in the back by your sword, and now he can't get up to do business."

Arthur said in surprise: "Really?"

This is great news.

Many recruits in the hall were training. After hearing this, they stopped their movements and listened.

Lord Tywin's army had displaced them, and they naturally hated the Warden of the West and his soldiers.

Dickon and Bill also came together.

"Of course it is," Patrick said.

"They captured thousands of civilians, which caused a lot of chaos in their camp. Some peasants escaped and took refuge in the castle."

"Several peasants made it clear that the soldiers of the Western Region were also overwhelmed by Lord Fengjun's serious injury. Right now, this lion army is in charge of Lord Taiwen's nephew or his nephew."

"This man is determined to make a great contribution first, to overwhelm the many generals of the Lion Family and the oath knights, so he arrested many civilians and prepared to attack Harrenhal."

Arthur asked curiously: "Then is this person a nephew or a nephew? These two are not the same surname."

If someone with a foreign surname is in charge of the Lannister family's army, there will be a gap to exploit.

You know, the main force of the Western Territory Army led by Tywin is composed of elite soldiers from the Lannister family and a small number of soldiers from various vassal families.

The remaining vassal family soldiers and ordinary Lannister soldiers formed a partial division on the western front, which is now being led by Kevan Lannister to attack the Frey family's Twin River City.

"It should be a nephew." Dickon added, "Duke Tywin married his cousin Joanna, and Joanna's elder brother, Stafford, became famous. I guess only Stafford's son Davon Lannister Only in the absence of Tywin's younger brother can he control the lion family's army."

Dickon himself is also the heir of a great nobleman, so he naturally knows about the relatives of these top noblemen in the mainland.

Davon?Arthur suddenly remembered that the night the camp was robbed, he seemed to be the first to organize the army to meet Tywin.

"Then it's probably him." Arthur waved his hand vigorously. "Everyone in the castle is mobilized, those who move the stones move the stones, those who adjust the trebuchets go to adjust, and the hot oil and the barbed logs are ready."

"Tywin is seriously injured, we will have fun with his nephew."
