Chapter 733 Sacrifice

"See the nature of the world clearly, the truth surrounds you, and everything is clear at a glance."

"The night is dark and sinister everywhere, and the day is bright and prosperous."

At night, in the dead of night.

However, the temple of R'hllor was brightly lit, and the hands of the holy fire guarding the temple sat on their knees and sang songs of truth in unison.

Jillian fell into a trap in this attack. He was seriously injured and caught alive. Now he was chained to a makeshift stake, and he kept roaring. It seemed that he had completely lost his mind. Completely reduced to a monster.

The supreme priest of the Red God Cult, Benello, personally presided over this sacrifice. He led the believers to sing, and then, not knowing what kind of magic he used, he pointed one finger at the moon, and then shook hands into fists. When the sound reached its highest point, flames shot out directly from his palm.

This suddenly revealed unique skill shocked Asha Greyjoy, who was watching the ceremony, Victarion, who was wearing bandages, and a few Ironborn who lived with them in the temple.

They used to live on a dull and tasteless iron island, where, apart from cheap iron ore, even food could not be grown very much, and where the real birds don't shit, where have these iron species seen this kind of flower work?

Even if they lived in the Temple of R'hllor for a while, Asha and Victarion would not be able to tell, but the iron species behind them could not help but convert to the Red God.

After all, the priests of the Red God Sect are very outstanding in their business ability to attract believers, otherwise they would not be able to bloom all over the world.

A fireball from Benero's palm ignited the firewood under the altar, and then the flames began to burn slowly, and the singing of the believers under the stage became even more frenzied.

However, Benero was not satisfied with this speed, and immediately left and right hands opened the bow at the same time, and two fireballs shot out, completely igniting all the firewood under the altar, and a huge fire burned.

Jillian, who was trapped on the altar and burned at the stake, although his brain was chaotic, completely turned into a monster and lost the will of human beings, but he also retained the instinct of primitive animals.

It seemed to sense the danger, and immediately began to break free and let out a sharp howl, which almost overshadowed the chanting of the hands of the holy fire with the flame tattooed on their cheeks, but it didn't help.

The Supreme Priest stood in front of the altar and stared at the flaming flames in front of him, gradually devouring the monster, his eyes did not waver in the slightest, and his mouth was still chanting.

The red-robed monks standing behind him were also calm and calm, until the screams from Jilian reached their peak.

"Roar--"

The half-human, half-fish shadow in the flames struggled continuously, and then finally fell down slowly, and the screams gradually died down, and the red-robed monks breathed a sigh of relief.

He also paid a heavy price for catching this crazy-haired monster. Several hands of holy fire were torn apart by the opponent during the siege. Quite a few, every time one dies, one must be added.

The flame finally went out slowly, the altar had been burned into ruins, and the demon in the flames had also been burned to ashes, and only some broken bones were left by the red-robed monk who came after holding a wooden box. collected.

Its corpse will also become a prop for the believers to visit in the future. After all, this is a real demon burned alive by the red-robed monks. With such evidence, why won't he attract more believers?

"The monster has been sacrificed to the true god, and it should not attack the messenger next."

At this time, Benello, who had presided over the sacrifice ceremony, walked over to Asha and Victarion, who were still in shock, and said.

"Has he really been burned to death?"

"That was just now."

Hearing Asha's question, Benello turned his head slightly and looked at the red-robed monks who were picking up the devil's bones. Asha also raised his head and looked over. The monster had been burned like this. Wouldn't it be too bad if he was still alive.

"It's just a trivial means given by the true God."

"Fire is power."

Benero then said calmly.

Asha has never had such a strong urge to convert to R'hllor. If you believe in the Red God, you can get magic.

Because when the White Walkers and the Legion of Death landed on Pike Island, Asha, his father, Lord Balon, and countless iron people had no means to fight the White Walkers. In the end, the Iron Islands completely fell and became a paradise for the dead.

In particular, the phrase "flame is power" that Benello said made Asha's heart even more, because she had seen the giant dragon, and she had a strong agreement with this sentence.

Maybe if there is no magic in this world, no dragons, there will be more weapons that rely on flames?

However, at this moment, the red-robed monk Ma Qiluo, who had saved Asha's life not long ago, also came over, and the demon's corpse had already been restrained.

"The High Priest."

"Master messenger."

"Sacrificial Maqiro, thank you for your help just now."

Asha Greyjoy nodded slightly and thanked. If it wasn't for Maqiro's sudden attack just now, Asha would probably not have escaped the monster's attack, and Maqiluo didn't say much, just kept silent and returned the same courtesy. .

"Next, I will send Maqi Luo to King's Landing to meet His Majesty the Emperor."

Benello turned his head to look at Maqiro, then turned his head and said.

This matter has been said before. Asha doesn't know what internal entanglements are between their Red God Cult, but it is obvious that Benello, the supreme priest, and Volantis, the headquarters of the Red God Cult, and the emperor His Majesty's confidant, the priestess Melisandre, who now serves as the vice president of the seminary and masters the belief in the Red God of the entire Westeros, does not seem to come from a faction.

In recent times, every time he talks about Melisandre this woman, Benello seems to be a little jealous. It seems that although the other party is not a supreme priest, just an ordinary priestess, but it is not easy to mess with.

And Benello sent Maqiro to King's Landing to meet the Emperor, there are reasons to seek the truth, and some purposes are to seize power.

After all, Westeros is an area with great potential. The lies woven by the hypocritical gods are about to fail. More and more believers have chosen to spread the belief of the flaming heart.

Today, Westeros is truly a place of beliefs, including the old gods believed by the northern people who came to the south, the seven gods believed by the traditional Andals, the Red God believers who are developing rapidly, and the natural beings believed in by Dorne. , and the Drowned God with the fewest believers.
