Melisandre led the remaining Red God cultists to pray below the Valley of Shadows.
At the same time, they also offered the sacred black goat horn as a sacrifice.
"See clearly the essence of the world, the truth surrounds you, everything is clear at a glance..."
As the current supreme priest of the Red God Religion, Melisandre led the believers in singing prayers in praise of R'hllor, the Lord of Light, and presented the horns of the black goat.
The female supreme priest in red robe held the cold black goat horn in her hand. She felt that the temperature around her body was quickly fading away. Darkness and evil completely enveloped her whole body, as if there was a pair of eyes locked on her behind her, making her feel all over her body. Trembling slightly.
She knew that the black goat's horns were stained with divine blood. It had only been a few decades since the death of the black goat god, and the aura within it had not completely dissipated.
"Meryl..."
At this moment, the sound of a woman crying and wailing seemed to ring in her ears again.
Then suddenly Melisandre seemed to see the scene from that year again.
"No. 7."
A red-robed monk announced loudly, and a timid girl with dark hair slowly walked out of the crowd under the gaze of everyone.
Then, under the guidance of the red-robed monk, the girl turned back step by step and walked into a red temple in Asia.
This is a nightmare that has haunted Melisandre throughout her long life.
Even though I have lived in this world for so many years, I still cannot forget it.
The woman who cried back then was her mother, and Meryl was her real name. Melisandre was the name given to her by the red-robed monk who was responsible for teaching her after she joined the Red Temple.
She was snatched from her mother's arms by slave traders, and was later sold into the Red Temple as a slave several times.
There are many red-robed monks who joined the Red Temple in this way. Even Benero, the former Supreme Priest, was originally a slave child purchased by the Red Temple.
However, although he was a slave with a low status, fortunately after joining the Red Temple, Melisandre's master treated her quite well. Most of the other boys were trained to become Hands of Fire warriors, and the girls were trained to become temple prostitutes, but Melisandre escaped with her extraordinary talent.
But this still does not prevent childhood memories from becoming the nightmare that Melisandre often recalls, accompanying her to observe the world, walking for hundreds of years, and even traveling step by step from distant Asia to the entire past. Knowing the world, she came from the far east to the far west of Westeros, and finally chose Viserys as the end point of her mission.
"My lord..."
"No matter what, you can't repeat the same mistakes I made..."
In the end, Melisandre gritted her teeth and clenched the black goat horn in her hand. She worked hard to overcome her inner fear, strengthened her belief, and also made up her mind.
The psychological pressure Melisandre endured from doing this was unimaginable.
After all, although the red-robed monk bought her from a slave trader, her belief in the red god continued throughout her life, but...
"Just think of it...for my son."
Decades ago, scenes flashed before my eyes one after another.
Late at night.
Dongdongdong——
The bells above King's Landing echoed as His Majesty Viserys I Targaryen, the founding emperor of the Empire, secretly received Melisandre, the Vice-President of the Seminary. At that time, Viserys had theoretically been missing for many years.
The two talked for a long time by candlelight at night, and Viserys told Melisandre everything that was happening at the moment, including the current situation of the war between the gods and the dilemma facing the entire world.
Viserys then made a request to Melisandre, hoping that she would leave King's Landing in a few years and go to the continent of Essos to pick up the black goat horns that the old gods had intercepted and placed there.
And he used his personal appeal to reorganize the remnants of the Red God Religion, and then led these people to resist the rule of the empire and win the trust of the King of Light...
Therefore, Melisandre left King's Landing quietly many years ago, and no one knew her whereabouts. It was not until the shocking explosion that year that her name was mentioned again.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Intelligence Department are searching for Melisandre's whereabouts day and night, and the best assassins and agents in the world are also watching here, hoping to get her head.
However, now, the red-robed female supreme priest is facing a huge blazing bonfire, holding the black goat horn tightly in her hand, and her long red hair is rustling in the wind.
The surrounding remnants of Red God believers held hands and sang carnivally hymns, opening a bridge of communication between believers and gods.
Not long ago, Heros and Diana passed through this channel of soul connection through prayer, and temporarily lent their divine power to their younger brother Yin Meng to kill the giant lion god of cholera.
But now Melisandre closed her eyes slightly in this atmosphere.
"My Lord, please listen to my prayer..."
Then she prayed silently and devoutly in her heart, and she visualized a blazing flame in her mind. A looming black shadow slowly emerged from the flame, and her facial features and even body shape could not be seen clearly.
Melisandre suddenly felt a sudden increase in pressure, because a strong will quietly came down under her prayers.
This is exactly what Melisandre can see from the perspective of the Lord of Light, the former human hero Azor Ahai.
When she sees this shadow, it means that her prayers can be heard by the King of Light. As for whether she is willing to respond to the prayers of believers, it all depends on her mood.
In fact, although Melisandre is one of the most important tools for the Lord of Light to walk the world, she has very few answers to her prayers.
However, at this moment, Melisandre's sincere prayer suddenly changed.
"My lord, I will curse you..."
Melisandre held the black goat horn tightly, but no one noticed that her divine body began to tremble slightly, and her whole body was covered with a layer of golden light, and a thin black mist seeped out.
"Great Black Goat God, I am willing to offer sacrifices to you..."
Phew~
And in Melisandre's sea of consciousness, a giant black goat covered in black smoke was successfully awakened.
She has been hiding here for many years, waiting for a chance to recover.
She needs human faith and sacrifice.
So when Melisandre prayed to him, the remnant soul of the Black Goat God answered the woman's prayer without hesitation, no matter who she wanted to deal with.
What's more, Azor Ahai later killed all the gods in the divine domain, which also made the Black Goat God understand that even if they promised the gods of Westeros, they would eventually die.
The opponent is just unable to fight against the gods in the sky, so he chooses various tricks to defeat them.
