Chapter 720 Darkness and Destruction

"His Majesty the Emperor will encounter some troubles in the future."

"The eyes in the dark have been fixed on him, the servants of the long night intend to overthrow him, and the will to destroy is about to come to him."

Benello was wearing a red robe and looked at Asha Greyjoy with bright eyes, and there seemed to be a flame deep in his eyes.

However, his gaze also made Asha slightly uncomfortable, feeling like she was a mass of air, without any clothes on, she had been seen through.

"What darkness?"

"What destruction?"

"What are you talking about? Why don't you make it clearer?"

And Asha couldn't understand what the supreme priest who had great energy in Volantis said in the fog?

But Asha did not dare to get angry at the other party, because Benello has a great influence among the Red God believers, and even the consuls of Volantis are very afraid of Benello, it is definitely this city The invisible overlord.

Because Volantis is the base camp of the Red God Church, and the suffering slaves at the bottom of the city generally believe in the Red God religion, there are four slaves in every five people in Volantis.

Volantis is divided into two urban areas by the Lorne River. The east city belongs to the nobles of the ancient blood, and the west is the place where mercenaries, foreigners, slaves and commoners live. Mia once lived under Volantis. The city is an inferior citizen.

The upper and lower urban areas are connected by a long bridge. The most feared thing for the wealthy living east of the long bridge is the slave uprising, but every night thousands of people listen to Benello's speech.

Even the consul was powerless to stop them, because there were so many followers of the Lord of Light in the tiger robe army, and the consul could not even order them to attack the red robe monk.

Therefore, the supreme priest's status in the city of Volantis is detached, and no one dares to offend, and can almost be called the fourth consul.

Asha had met the three consuls of Volantis a few days ago, but only Benello gave her a creepy feeling.

Not only because he spoke the divine way, but also because the eyes of the other party seemed to be able to see through all the truth, which gave Asha the illusion of being naked, and even wanted to turn her head and run away.

But because of the other party's strong influence in the city, she still had patience and listened carefully to what the other party was saying.

"I saw the truth in the flames."

However, Benero did not answer Asha's question directly, and the two talked while walking in this magnificent temple of R'hllor.

This temple of R'hllor was built extremely magnificently. Its pillars, steps, buttresses, stone arches, domes, and towers were all huge, and everything seemed to be hewn from the same rock.

From a distance, it looked a bit like Aegon's High Hill standing tall. Red, yellow, gold, orange, these colors interweave and merge and penetrate each other on the walls of the temple, like clouds at dusk.

"Flame doesn't deceive."

"It's not the same as worshiping false gods in a temple of lies."

The two talked as they walked in the long corridor. The two sides were covered with gorgeous armor, orange cloaks and holding fire spears. They were the guardians of the entire temple.

Benello's words seem to mean something, because on Westeros, the Red God believers will often use this to attack the Seven Gods, thinking that they are worshiping a non-existent god and worshipping in the temple of lies False gods.

Fortunately, Asha doesn't believe in the Seven Gods, and even her belief in the Drowned God isn't necessarily that firm. She only pays homage when she needs it.

"Darkness and destruction."

Then Benello's footsteps paused slightly, and Asha also stopped for unknown reasons.

Then he saw the tall and thin man in front of him with pale skin and flame tattoos on his chin and bald head, raised his hand and pointed into the distance.

There is the end of the road in the Temple of R'hllor. A lonely and towering red wall is vaguely engraved with two Valyrian runes that Asha cannot understand. It seems that many years have passed, and There is also a shabby futon under this lonely red wall.

Asha saw these two cumbersome runes, and her mind went blank for a moment, as if she had fallen into some kind of psychedelic, but fortunately, Asha's will was still firm, and finally she shook her head suddenly. In the psychedelia, he broke free, his eyes were full of inconceivable, and he was slightly panting.

"what is this."

Asha raised her head in shock and looked at Benello, and asked suspiciously.

Although she knew that it was an ancient rune from Valyria, she didn't recognize it, and she didn't know what happened to her just now. Suddenly, her mind went blank, like taking ecstasy.

Could it be the reason for these two Valyrian runes?

"Their meaning is darkness and destruction."

And Benello turned his head slightly and glanced at Asha in surprise, because ordinary people would not break free so quickly when they saw it for the first time, and then he explained.

"This temple was built along with the city of Volantis. At first, it was a square, and then this temple appeared so suddenly."

"And these two runes appeared with the temple, and no one knows who left them."

What Benero said was not a joke, because Volantis was the oldest free trade city-state, the first colony of the Valyrian Free Fortress, and was originally just a military outpost, but according to records at that time, There has never been a Red Temple, it is just a square.

In all the literature describing Volantis in the past, no one mentions it, it is unknown when it was built, and it is unknown who built it, and such a magnificent building is three times larger than the Cathedral of St. Baelor, It was not built in a year or two, but there is no record in the long river of history.

Because the people of the year were already dead, so there was no way to find someone to verify it. In later generations, it stood so quietly on the east side of the Long Bridge.

"Darkness and destruction."

"The truth is hidden in two different places."

The man with his bald head covered in flame runes sighed.

"When the matter here is over, I will send my messenger Maqi Luo to King's Landing to meet His Majesty and tell him these truths, not the woman from Asshai."

"As for you"

Then Benello paused for a while, the bottom of his eyes seemed to be burning with flames, then turned around and looked up and down Asha Greyjoy, she saw that she was horrified again, and her body was up and down. Less goosebumps.

"You have the residual aura of the evil god on your body, and you are being watched."
