The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 38 Frenzy Night

Hu Ge's miracle spread like wildfire, centered on Seagull Town, and on the first night after the miracle occurred, frenzy swept through Seagull Town.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it."

In a tavern in Seagull Town, Walder Rivers drank the beer in his hand and sighed continuously. At the same time, he glanced at the witnesses in the tavern who were enthusiastically explaining Hugo's miracles to everyone around him.

The person who witnessed it was so enthusiastic that he was dancing and his words became more and more exaggerated, but no one doubted his words. When the miracle happened, the place where the holy light shone was not only in one venue, but also in the entire Seagull Town. .

When the holy light shines on the white marble buildings of Seagull Town, the entire city is like a sacred city. Everyone who sees it will be touched by it, and some people even immediately sell their belongings to join the expeditionary force.

This tavern was very small, and the seats looked like they had gone through many years. They were covered with layers of dried stains. The most valuable thing in the entire tavern was the swordfish specimen on the fireplace.

Although Walder was an illegitimate son of the Frey family, his status would not normally allow him to drink in a tavern like this, but this was an unusual situation.

Because of Hugo's miracle, Seagull Town fell into a carnival, and all the taverns were so crowded that even Frey's friends could only find a place in the tavern.

"I didn't expect it. It's true. No one can shake Hu Ge's status now." The hooded person in front of him was Bishop Lu Chen. In front of his illegitimate brother, Lu Chen did not hide his surprise. , "It seems that our family's choice to invest in him was indeed a right investment, but it is a pity that the amount of investment was too small, even after Meili brought many more people. But after all, we are the first nobles to invest, which is enough to make We were rewarded far more than we paid for, and I'm now beginning to think that maybe this expedition can really succeed."

"Can it really be successful? Lu Chen, why are you so enthusiastic about running back and forth for that Hu Ge?"

Fat Merry Frey spoke. He had led 300 soldiers here before. Together with the mercenaries and knights he recruited, as well as the strong men who followed the lord, Frey's fighting men reached thousands, but now Expeditionary force, this number is not impressive at all.

"My initial idea was to use Hu Ge's career to make as much capital as possible for myself, so that those bastards from the church and the damn fat man could no longer block my promotion. In order to make them have nothing to say, I decided to take some risks. Risk. And in order to better achieve this goal, I worked so hard for the expeditionary force."

In front of his brothers, Lu Chen did not hide his thoughts at all and directly revealed them, "As for now, well, the impossible expedition plan seems so likely to succeed now. Meili, you came to the right place this time. Maybe you can become a great lord in the east."

A smile appeared on the fat weasel face of Merry Frey. Merry was not sent here by Old Frey, but he made a request to his father. Merry decided to take a risk and seize this opportunity.

Although his father ridiculed him and called him the nickname "Idiot Merry" that he didn't like, Merry still saw the joy in his father's eyes, so he took several brothers to participate in the expedition.

Merry was originally an outstanding knight, but after being captured by bandits during the war to annihilate the Kingswood Brotherhood, Merry began to decline, so much so that he changed from a heroic knight to what he is now.

"But we still have to be careful. Gods will not easily provide protection. Mortals still have to rely on themselves after all. Walder, have you contacted the captain?"

Although he was in an environment where he was blindly optimistic about the future of the expedition, Bishop Lu Chen still remained rational, and he was still very concerned about the Frey family's future.

"I've been contacted. The asking price was a bit high before, but after what happened today, I think it will be cheaper."

The three Freys present smiled tacitly. After what happened today, everyone must be blindly optimistic for a while, and Frey's request now looks like giving money to those people. "Really, that's good, but our people still have to control the ship after setting sail. I don't believe these businessmen running on the sea, they dare to do anything."

Walder and Merry both nodded, and then Lu Chen stood up, "Okay, that's it for today. Let's go out and see Seagull Town. We don't see a scene like this today."

The three Freys left a handful of bronze stars on the table, and then walked out together. Then they met a procession, which was a group of pious people holding candles and surrounding the statues of the Seven Gods. Believers, there are still people holding candles and joining the team.

"This is the first time for me to see this kind of scene." Lu Chen's tone was full of sighs. As a high-ranking member of the Church of the Seven Gods who has lived in King's Land for a long time, he knew very well how difficult it was to see the scene in front of him.

"Lu Chen, by the way, what is Reg doing? You have created a King's Landing faction. Can you help us then?" Walking beside the parade, Walder asked Lu Chen. He just remembered Lu Chen. The power of co-optation.

"That Reg has his ambitions, and his ambitions will definitely expand after today. Walder, I can command some people in the King's Landing faction, but I think this is the only one."

"It seems that a lot of things are going to change today." As a patient with a mild concussion, Meri's thinking ability is relatively weak. It is difficult to think of many things in a short period of time, so he can only listen to what his brothers say.

"I guess the gentlemen from the royal territory and the storm land are also at the hot pot now. They have been thinking about how to obtain the leadership of the expeditionary force. Now they have no chance at all and can only be driven by the gods' favored ones."

Lu Chen further analyzed, "Lord Hu Ge is now the unquestioned commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force. No one can shake him. As long as he says a word, countless people will die."

The three Freys happened to reach an intersection at this time. At this time, a team carrying the Lannister Red Lion flag passed by. They saw Jillian and Tyget of the Lannister family. The Lannister people were heading towards The crowd was splashed with silver deer and golden dragons.

"Be grateful. Lord Gillian and Tygett of Lannister, in order to be grateful for today's miracle, make generous donations to the devout people, and praise the name of the Seven Gods and Lannister."

Following the slightly arrogant voice of the herald, people began to fight for the golden dragon on the ground. Frey saw that Jillian was the most enthusiastic about throwing money, while his brother Tyget looked at him with a blank expression. brother, but did not stop Jillian.

"Earl Gravely is also giving alms on a large scale. Seagull Town is really crazy today." Merry sighed. Frey's eyes were opened today, and he felt more and more that joining the expedition was the right choice.

And Lu Chen looked at the ubiquitous flags of the Seven Gods in the sky with deep meaning, "It's different, everything is different."

After saying this, Lu Chen blessed himself devoutly. For the first time, this bishop who was born in the Frey family discovered that he was actually full of piety when blessing.

And situations like his happen a lot in Seagull Town today.
