Chapter 427 North Three
"The footsteps of winter are hurried than expected. Although it broke free from my sight, there is no corner that cannot be reached." Melisandra opened her tone. She couldn't let Stannis keep complaining. He was under too much pressure and was carrying too heavy responsibilities. If he took a wrong step, he might sink into it.
But... maybe he wasn't very strong at first? Melisandra was wandering in her heart, thinking about some inappropriate thoughts. The light of the candlelight was stinging on the face of the King of Light, reflecting her originally cold pretty face a little charming.
The cold and calm expression was always the patent of Melisandra, distant and noble, just as out of reach as her identity under the red cloak, and she could also cover up the abandonment. Anyway, no one could guess what she was thinking, and her expression was always cold.
However, her voice was not as cold as the expression, but was very warm. Although it also had a high aura and ethereality, it was also mixed with a little charm, just like the twins that were accompanied by light and darkness, making people feel strange.
But at other times, Melisandra's voice was like, so she had to ask Stannis if she didn't mind being killed by the two of them.
But at this time, Stannis was not in a good mood. He felt like a fire was suppressing in his heart. He heard the sound of Melisandra boiling oil pouring on fire and suddenly burst out, "Out of your control? You didn't see our failure again, right?! Are you going to interpret those signs again?!"
In addition to releasing long-range precise strike magic for him, Melisandra's overall control of the future is the most important position, and he is part-time prophet military advisor and artillery friend.
It was just that there was a battle under King's Landing. Most of the warships under Stannis were burned by wildfires in Blackwater Bay. Davos saved his life because of his luck. He even left half of his palm, but Melisandra did not see this scene, and did not see Stannis' fleet being wiped out in the wildfires in Blackwater Bay.
They failed in that battle, and they did not capture Junlin and Cersei was also seriously injured. So Stannis put down his body and went to the Iron Vault to raise funds and got the news of Junlin Wizard, because he really had no money.
The situation was very bad at that time. The lucky star of the Libra Obsessive-Compulsive King of Light was fire, and Stannis' fleet was destroyed in wildfire. It is estimated that the lower civilians were not clear about the difference between the fire of the King of Light and the wildfire. Just as Stannis didn't know what the civilians would think after the war, religion was an extremely terrible double-edged sword.
But he finally chose Melisandra, retracted his lair and regained his strength, and cheered up again with her guidance.
Traveling west to Ersos to finance the iron vault, met the King's Landing wizard and marched northward, contacted the barbarians of all sizes and northern nobles of all sizes, and tried their best to win over people to prepare for another attack on King's Landing. This series of plans went very smoothly until Melisandra once again missed something.
But this time, Melisandra was not actually blamed. She did not miss it, because some things should not exist in the long river with ice and fire. So Melisandra could not see it. She was just a little witch who could not fight against the power of the world.
"The White Walkers should not have dragons, and it is even more impossible to control dragons. The dragon crystals of real dragons are their nemesis, which makes no sense." Faced with Stannis' roar, Melisandra could only explain as much as possible.
She firmly believes that Stannis is the reincarnation of Ahai, the hero chosen by the King of Light, and is the only hope to save the long night of winter. She is the servant of the King of Light, and her life is given by the King of Light. Her only task is to assist the hero in reincarnation and save the long night.
So even if Stannis put her in forty-eight shapes, she would not resist, because if he really did, it would be the will of the King of Light, just like the boss's son teasing Xiaomi, he would not resist.
"I didn't see the real dragon in the Holy Fire. Maybe I missed it. It was my mistake. The Holy Fire would not lie." Melisandre lowered her eyelids and could not look at Stannis's eyes. She could choose not to cooperate with Stannis' fanatical Iron Throne hobby. After all, that was not the main task of the reincarnated hero, but she could not resist the White Walkers because they made mistakes. They were the real enemies.
"You!" Stannis slapped the table angrily, his chest undulating, but when he saw Melisandra lowering his head and half of his pretty face, which was charming under the dim light, the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated half again, "You..." He choked for a long time, and finally shook his hand dejectedly, "Forget it..." he said.
Davos listened quietly to the two of them half-quarrels and half-conversation, and did not speak out until Stannis and Melisandra became cold, and he had no intention of making a sound. Stannis could not explain his attitude towards Melisandra himself, so he should not mess around with him.
Stannis's eyes fell on the map as if he would become his when he saw something, while Melisandra stared quietly at the flames in the oil lamp, the only ray of flame in the dim tent.
The silence of the three seemed to prevent the air from flowing smoothly. The flames swayed in the night wind, awakening Stannis in the contemplative, "We are short of manpower..." he whispered. In just a while, his voice became hoarse, as if it was being stirred by fire.
"The reserves can take the lead first, and then the poor and barbarians nearby can replace their miscellaneous work." When asked about the army, Davos still had a very say. He did a good job and his answers were very organized.
"But that's not enough..." Stannis frowned. His army knew that it was inevitable that there would be no army without money. However, when he got a large sum of gold coins from the iron vault, he realized that sometimes the shortage of population was more terrifying than gold coins, which was the most troublesome thing.
His old nest, Longshi Island, could no longer collect the population, so he could only find it. However, before he could receive a large number of nobles and men to join him during his trip to the north, his poor army, which was already small, was sprayed to death by the real dragon. How could he calm down?
After pondering for a moment, Stannis suddenly asked, "What about the slave ship is sent to Esos to the prisoner of war who was the King of Landing Wizard." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
