The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 115 Meeting with the Chief
In this way, the armies of Hugo and Inis set up camp outside the city of Myr. There is now a lot of open space outside the city of Myr. In order to defend the city, the defenders had uprooted the entire outer city. Even now they are rebuilding. , and there are still flat open spaces suitable for camping everywhere.

Although they offended Laoyu, Hugo and Inis could still travel freely inside and outside Myr. Although Laoyu commanded the city, the people who really controlled the city were the king's people, and they didn't care about these grudges.

Although the voyage to the Myr Sea was quite smooth, it still took a lot of time for the troops to recover, so Hugo simply took a walk around the city of Myr to see this famous academic city.

In order to better see the appearance of the city, Hugo hid his identity and did not pretend to be a noble parade. He did not want to walk on the streets like a fool, and Mir was not him. In our jurisdiction, there is no need to do such a thing.

Hugo only brought four guards, two of whom were little Gleicher and his follower Jack. Hugo liked these two young men very much, so he took them with him.

Walking on the streets of Myr, Hugo must admit that this famous academic city in Essos is indeed unique. Its urban planning is superior to all the cities Hugo has seen, and its streets and alleys can always be considered unique. I saw all kinds of ingenious devices and the urban environment. It was the best among the cities Hugo had seen.

Unlike Hu Ge, who was relaxed, the four of them, including Little Gleicher and Jack, were nervous from beginning to end. Their faces were full of nervousness, for fear that someone would rush out and kill Hu Ge.

While passing by an alley, Hu Ge found some kind of blushing sound coming from inside. He looked over and saw a very naked scene. The prostitutes and their clients didn't even close the curtains, just having sex like this.

Noticing Hu Ge's gaze, some prostitutes cast provocative looks, while others shook their breasts and extended an invitation to Hu Ge.

Hu Ge frowned, but didn't say much, nor was he surprised. After staying in the Free Trade City for so long, he had already noticed the degree of openness of the Free Trade City. This kind of development even reached the point where it was even done on the streets. , to the extent that no one would take a second look.

With the encouragement of these gods, the atmosphere of the entire society naturally became more open.

Therefore, Hugo has always been disdainful of the Essos religion, but there is one exception, and that is the Red God. As Hugo was walking on the road, he thought of the two temples he had seen before: the three-headed statue and the big red temple.

So why worry about the Red God? In the original work, the Red God seems to be powerful and omnipotent, but in fact he has been telling riddles all the time, and then encourages his priests to interpret them on their own, and then carry out the prophecies of the so-called "Lord of Light".

The custom of Prince Pentos budding the maiden representing the earth and sea, the crazy carnival of the three gods and the weeping lady, these are all the results of the influence of the Valyrian gods. In Hugo's view, these Valyrian gods were all unacceptable. He seriously suspected that these Valyrian gods were used by the Dragon King to make excuses for their ridiculous behavior and to divert the attention of the slaves.

The three-headed god statue is the huge statue of the three-headed god. When he saw the statue, Hugo saw a strong atmosphere of Shengzhi worship, but it was just a simple magnificent statue. The believers of the three-headed god were only here. Even if some symbolic worship is carried out, there are no religious people here.

The popularity of the belief in the Red God among slaves is also the reason why Hugo chose to land in Pantos. In the Northern Narrow Sea, there are not many people who believe in the Red God, but in the Southern Narrow Sea, it can be said that there are many pits and valleys. Everywhere.

Hu Ge couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the true nature of the King of Light after he took off his coat. The King of Light looked like a non-stick pan and could only be said to be invincible.

The Red God is a religion that belongs to slaves and is widely spread among slaves. The tentacles of the red-robed monk are also spread among various slave groups, not to mention that behind them is the Red God who will compete with the Northern Cold God in the future. The Red God They are powerful and their methods are weird, so Hu Ge has always attached great importance to them.

He really wanted to go in and take a look at Mir Academy. He had never been to the academy, so he wanted to see this academy that was no less than an academy first. But then, Hu Ge was stopped by a group of people, all of whom were wearing secret uniforms. The person wearing bachelor's attire is a middle-aged man.

If the Red Temple issues a call to oppose the Westeros, then many slaves who welcome the Westeros will instantly become enemies. This is the power of the Red God.

In Pentos, Hugo also saw similar scenes. During the massacre in Pantos, the Red Temple was also a place that was not affected. The Red Temple did not accept the refuge of any slave owners, so the slaves were let go. Red Temple.

The Dragon Kings of Valyria did not have much respect or interest in the gods, but they encouraged the people and slaves under their rule to believe, so Valyria gathered many gods to worship, and the worship and teachings of these gods were not Shaodu is highly related to zong.

He also researched this custom in the Free Trade City, and finally concluded that the root cause was the Valyrian god believed by the people in the Free Trade City.

But the Red Temple is different. This domed temple is magnificent and huge, no less than the Great Temple of the Seven Gods that Hugo saw in Westeros. It is packed with people who offer prayers and blessings to the holy fire. Believers - most of them were former slaves.

But even so, Hu Ge felt worried when he thought of the Red God, because he thought of the mysterious god in the original work. However, this worry immediately dissipated after he accidentally saw the marks on his hands.

And after some red-robed monks adapted to the situation and sang praises for Robert and the conquest of Westeros, the relationship between the red-robed monks and the conquerors of Westeros also quickly eased.

But what surprised Hugo was that despite having such a powerful power, the Church of the Red God remained silent. Regarding the expansion of Westeros, the biggest move they made was to protect their church property and believers, which is very surprising. Don't understand their operations.

It was also a magnificent temple, almost the same as the one he had just seen. Hugo thought that if the Red God Church opposed the invasion of Westeros, then they would definitely be able to cause a lot of trouble, because what most slaves believed in, It is the God of Fire.

However, it is indeed a good thing that the Red God believers are willing to shrink their heads. As long as the Red Temple does not cause trouble, no one can stop the Westeros from mobilizing slaves. However, even if Westeros wins, The Luo conquerors did not attack the Red Temple because the impact was too great.

Suddenly, Hu Ge found a huge courtyard wall in front of him. The courtyard wall was so big that Hu Ge subconsciously thought it was a city wall. Had he wandered into the Privy Council Palace?
After calming down, Hu Ge realized where he was. It turned out that he had wandered into the famous Mill Abbey without knowing it.

In this regard, Hu Ge seriously doubts that there is any prophecy. Anyway, whoever fulfills the requirements of the King of Light will not conform to the prophecy, and will conform to it through reverse reasoning and peeling off cocoons. As for the failure, it is of course up to the subordinates to interpret it themselves. The disappointment has absolutely nothing to do with the wise king of light.

"Melis Tautalus, I salute you. Sir Hugo, I'm glad to see you." The chief academic officer said respectfully. Hugo's brows jumped when he heard this name. He knew this name. .

After Robert captured Myr, he issued a series of orders. One of them was to allow the lords on both sides of the Narrow Sea to freely invite bachelors. In fact, it was also free before, but due to the substantial monopoly of the city, this freedom can be said to be It doesn't exist.

This order is undoubtedly aimed at the city's monopoly on knowledge. Robert wants to introduce Myrian scholars to break the city's exclusive position in Westeros. In this order, the chief of the Myr Academy Academic officers are mentioned many times.

Hugo looked at the chief academic officer seriously. To be honest, he didn't think there was anything unusual about this man. He looked very ordinary. But it was precisely because of this that Hugo did not dare to look down upon him - after Robert ordered Among the series of orders, his name was mentioned with great intensity. "Lord Melis, may the Seven Gods bless you. I know your name. You have been given an important task by His Majesty Robert. Now it seems that you are indeed a talented person. So I wonder why you came to see me?"

Hugo spoke politely and inquired about the purpose of the other party. It was impossible for such a person to want to see him for no reason, so was it His Majesty Robert's intention, or did he simply want to have a relationship with him.

"I just want to meet the favored one of the Seven Gods." Melis bowed humbly again, "If possible, Lord Hugo, I would like to invite you to visit our beautiful teaching garden."

This is about talking about things. Hu Ge thought about it, but he didn't intend to refuse. The matter had to be discussed first before knowing what was going on. Moreover, he could also take the opportunity to see the Mir Academy.

In this way, Hugo was able to enter this medieval academy. Under the leadership of the chief academic officer, he visited many buildings in the Mill Academy, such as their Star Observation Tower and their Speculation Hall, which can be traced back to Something from the Dragon King era.

While visiting the teaching garden, Hu Ge saw the gardens and lakes behind the walls of the teaching garden. He finally understood why it was called a teaching garden even though it was like a small fortress. Many places inside were indeed beautiful. garden.

However, many places in Mill Educational Garden look just like an ordinary community. After all, the families of the faculty and staff live in the Educational Garden, and amid the chaos in Mill, the Educational Garden has also taken in many residents from nearby communities.

"Those guys in the academy wanted to move away all our good stuff. Fortunately, His Majesty Robert was wise and powerful, so those guys in the academy didn't succeed."

Chief Academic Officer Melis said lightly, as if it was something not worth mentioning, but Hu Ge didn't think so at all. It was just pretending to be relaxed.

There was quite a fuss over the technology and equipment that the Academy requested from the Mir Academy at that time, and even Hu Ge heard about the news.

Because the bachelors were leading mercenaries at that time, and they planned to rob it by force if they could not speak. For this reason, they even misinterpreted Robert's order.

If it weren't for the fact that the teachers and students of Mir Academy were united enough, and that this aroused public anger in the city, causing all the members of the Academy to fight directly with the mercenaries, and finally threw the mercenaries out, they might have been able to succeed.

There is a reason why the school city is so desperate. Some of the things in Mill Academy have established its academic status for hundreds of years. These things are basically impossible to manufacture now - because they involve the technology of the Free Fortress era, so the school city is working hard. If you want to get it, you have to do it even if it offends the king, because if you get it, you can further consolidate the monopoly of the school city.

The school city also loses its dignity when it comes to its own interests. Hu Ge thought with some malice that he liked the most stories about decent people doing dishonorable things.

After this incident, the Citadel was naturally punished by Robert, who severely punished him. All the bachelors who came to the Citadel in the East were expelled, their necklaces were taken away, and they were also fined a large sum of money. Then the school city was ordered not to resist the king's order. The school city suffered heavy losses this time.

After visiting many buildings in Mill Educational Garden, Hugo and the chief academic officer found a quiet place to sit down together. Here, Hugo was very energetic because he was about to talk about business. .

"Lord Hu Ge, I invited you here for a reason. I want to gain your support."

To Hu Ge's surprise, Chief Academic Officer Melis went straight to the point without hiding anything. This made Hu Ge not used to it and he subconsciously twisted his body.

Hu Ge did not agree immediately, but looked at him quietly, waiting for the next step.

"His Majesty Robert has decided to let me take over the actual government affairs of Myr. It will even be expanded to the entire east in the future. It is just not announced now. And Myr will become the center of the kingdom's eastern territory in the future, and my affairs will inevitably be involved. Various surrounding areas, so here I hope to gain your recognition and support, and also guarantee your cooperation in the future - you can rest assured that this is normal and will never harm your interests. "

Robert really trusts this person, Hugo thought. He actually gave him so much power. He trusts people completely, and this person is not ordinary. Such things can be said so directly.

But when this idea came to mind, Hu Ge felt that he shouldn't think like this. He couldn't lie when he said this here. Since it was all true, it wouldn't be a problem for him to contact him earlier.

"Lord Hu Ge, no matter how the war turns out, His Majesty the King will eventually leave. And you will always stay in the east. In the future, the east coast of the Narrow Sea will definitely be united as one, and people, materials and information will continue to flow. This is For a huge project, the sooner you start preparing, the better, so you may think it’s too early, but I have to start early.”

After listening to this, Hu Ge somewhat understood this person's thoughts. He was moving and paving the way for the central position of Myr in the future, so he wanted his own approval to facilitate his subsequent work.

He looked a little far ahead. Now that the war was still going on, he began to think about the future. However, seeing how dedicated he was, Robert found a good person.

"Then why don't you go to Lord Aenys? He is the commander of Pentos, and his territory borders Myr. Since you want to prepare for the future, you should go to him first."

"You have a huge influence on Lord Inis, and your interests are bound to his. Therefore, convincing you is equivalent to convincing him." When he said this, a flash of light flashed in Melis's eyes. sly.

"Your research on the information is really good." Hu Ge said. This man did research on a lot of information. "Okay, I promise you."

Hugo had no reason to reject Melis's advances, just like he had no reason to go against the Iron Throne. Anyway, this was a harmless thing, just a recognition.

"Thank you very much." The future Myr manager said with a smile and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Unlike Hu Ge, he was under extremely great pressure.

He succeeded in winning the favor of the king by relying on his cheerful and outspoken character and ability, and the king therefore gave him great power. After being excited, he also understood that if this power was not used properly, it would crush people to death.

Of course, the safest way is to give up all this, but how can a person who has already learned the taste give up the power in his hand?
