However, Viserys shook his head slightly when he heard the words of the red robe witch, and couldn't help but sneered.
"You said, the King of Light is the true God."
Then he tightened the reins, turned the horse's head and walked back, while continuing to speak.
"And the true God has so many believers, how can he have time to care who my woman is?"
"this…"
Melisandre was speechless for a moment and opened her mouth not knowing how to speak.
But he also turned his horse's head and followed Viserys down the hillside.
"drive."
Viserys rode in front, turned his head to look at Melisandre, and then said.
"I'm not afraid to tell you."
"I received a letter from my uncle Zeng. A strange ghost has appeared on the Great Wall."
Viserys follows Melisandre today to deal with some religious matters.
If you want to truly win the Seven Kingdoms and rule for a long time, you need the support of the followers of the Seven Gods. The Targaryens already knew this when their ancestor Aegon I conquered Westeros.
In Pentos, if you want to gain widespread support in this land, you must rely on the local church.
The followers of the Red God have developed very rapidly on the continent of Essos, sweeping into some cities without mainstream sects. Even some city-states with local gods have encountered invasions by the followers of the Red God.
Such as Old Town, Qohor, etc.
Following Viserys, Melisandre was still frowning slightly, thinking about the question the other party had just asked, and how she should answer it.
However, after thinking about it, Melisandre herself also messed up.
There are even some who can’t tell whether they have been warned by the Lord of Light or whether they don’t think Arianne is a suitable candidate...
So he subconsciously warned Viserys using the name of the Lord of Light.
Because it originated from the bottom of her heart, she didn't see the answer in the flames, it was just a whim, and she couldn't help but lie.
But I didn't expect to be directly exposed by Viserys, so I was temporarily speechless.
However, at this moment, she heard Viserys' casual words.
"Um?"
The red-robed witch raised her head slightly and was startled. At first she didn't realize what Viserys was saying.
Then he heard Viserys repeat it again, and then his expression changed slightly.
"White Walker?"
"You mean there are traces of White Walkers on the Great Wall?"
In the afternoon.
The sun above the head was still bright, shining on the woman's white chest, a gorgeous necklace, the red gemstone in the middle reflecting the light slightly.
Melisandre spoke urgently.
"Your Majesty, can you let me see that letter?"
Night fell quickly.
The sky became completely dark, and every household in the wealthy city-state of Pentos began to light up lights.
The girls who went out hunting finally returned carrying the prey they caught today.
Although it is winter now and many wintering creatures have reduced their range of activities, the girls' trip is still worth it.
The eldest sister of the Sand Snakes, Obaya, was slightly injured. She was slapped while hunting a brown bear with her sisters.
Then the soldiers protecting the sisters swarmed up and killed the poor brown bear that had come out of hibernation to find some food.
As for Obaya, she was injured. Her ribs should have been fractured. They were corrected by the doctors in the palace, so there should be nothing serious.
This time the four girls hunted a brown bear and a stag together.
In fact, the soldiers contributed more than the girls. For example, Arianne was very smart and just shot the arrow from behind, instead of running over like Obaya.
Therefore, Arianne still has enough energy after she comes back, and she wants to personally cook a dish that contains the taste of her hometown for her lover.
This was the repertoire that the two of them had agreed upon before they parted during the day, and Viserys had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Then the soldiers carried the stag on their shoulders and entered the kitchen. Arianne rolled up her sleeves, personally picked up a short knife given to her by her father, and then began to dissect the stag.
The stag was a little show effect that Arianne had prepared a long time ago, because it could mean something, and she thought Viserys would definitely like it.
However, Arianne's short knife didn't seem to be very sharp, and she had some difficulty dissecting the stag.
Then Viserys took out a short knife from his pocket and gave it to her.
This is the weapon left behind by the Faceless Man who assassinated Viserys. There are two daggers in total, and they should be a set of weapons.
The first knife was abandoned in the palace during the assassination, while the second knife was found on the body of the Faceless Man who was killed by Viserys when he surrendered.
Both daggers are made of Valyrian steel.
"Is this Valyrian steel?"
Arianne was surprised and delighted when she saw this short sword.
Although they are just two daggers and do not weigh much, and cannot even be used to make a sword after melting, they are still very precious.
"My love, are you really willing to give it to me?"
Arianne looked very happy and kissed Viserys on the cheek again.
The subsequent dinner went very smoothly, and everyone in the palace participated.
And Viserys also tasted the venison leg roasted by Arianne herself, sprinkled with a special spice, which indeed had a strong Dornish flavor.
There are also bear paws that have been slow-simmered for a long time. The collagen is very abundant, and the skin, flesh, and muscles are loose.
During the banquet, the red-robed witch frequently raised her head and looked at Viserys, looking a little uneasy.
She had seen Aemon Targaryen's letter asking for help during the day and knew the news of the White Walkers' resurgence. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before news of the coalition forces moving north to support the North would reach Pentos.
The banquet ended soon after.
Viserys was just about to leave when Melisandre came to Viserys and spoke.
"His Majesty."
"Can we talk?"
Melisandre looked at Viserys with bright eyes, while Arianne also walked over on the other side.
Viserys looked at Melisandre, then at the dark sky outside, then shook his head and said.
"Tomorrow."
He knew what the red robe witch wanted to talk to him about.
Melisandre also nodded, and she also understood that there was no way to rush this matter.
Then the red-robed witch nodded and smiled politely at Arianne, who was walking over, and then passed her by.
Arianne also smiled politely and reached out to hold Viserys' arm.
He turned around and looked at Melisandre's leaving figure.
