A Western fantasy journey that began with Game of Thrones
Chapter 107 The Trial of the Seven Sons (31)
There are several cemeteries in King's Landing, scattered in all directions, and there is also a cemetery dedicated to burying clergy at the top of Rhaenys Hill, which is located at the innermost of the residential area, not far from their residence.
The boy instinctively has a bit of awe for the dead in the cemetery, and is deeply poisoned by various legends and ghost stories, so much so that he was not happy when he was dragged here.
However, after walking into it, his face became solemn, perhaps infected by the atmosphere here, or perhaps he felt that there was nothing scary here, and then he returned to his former "steadiness".
This cemetery on the hill is blocked by a circle of wooden fences. There are rows of tombstones in the cemetery, most of which are made of granite, with a seven-pointed star logo carved on the top. The gray and simple shape, at first glance, they seem to be exactly the same.
However, if you look closely, you can still find different names engraved on the surface of the tombstones, but they look very shallow.
This seems to be a custom of the Church of the Seven Gods. The most representative of this custom is the successive archbishops of the church. After they take office as archbishops, they will give up their own names and only address each other as the archbishop, because he has become the spokesperson of the gods.
Fortunately, these dead people have not completely given up their own names and become servants of the gods, so Renly was able to find the tombstone of Sister Meria.
It was one of the many stone tombstones mixed in. There was nothing special or outstanding about it. Because there were often nuns to take care of it, there was no dust or cobwebs on it.
The only thing worth mentioning was that there was an old oak tree growing next to this tombstone.
The oak tree had lush branches, and several black crows squatted in it. When they saw someone coming below, they were not scared away. Instead, they shouted arrogantly a few times, which seemed very noisy.
This also broke the quiet atmosphere in the deserted cemetery.
But they stopped calling after a short while, because the two people below didn't even look over, which seemed to make the crows lose interest, so they combed their feathers on the tree, and their dark eyes kept looking at the two figures under the tree through the leaves, as if they were thinking of something.
Renly ignored these, or didn't care. At this time, he stood quietly in front of this very ordinary tombstone, with a dazed look.
The son of chaos, the golden eggshell, the dragon egg from the East Continent, with a high status, and a powerful dragon...
All the clues came together, although there were still many puzzles and it was incredible, but combined with the situation before he left, he still guessed some things.
That is, the old nun who "adopted" Raya might be Rhaenys.
And Raya was the egg.
But that strong and fragile figure at the time, has it turned into a handful of dust in just "a few months"?
Being there, it is hard to notice the flowers withering as time goes by, but when you look back after leaving this place, you will find that only a short time has passed and the old friends have gone forever.
Renly's mind is empty at this time. He thinks he may think about many things, but in fact he is not thinking about anything now. He stands quietly in front of the tombstone for a long time, not seeing the past, not caring about the future, only the tombstone in front of him, the oak tree beside him, and the quiet atmosphere around him occupy his entire mind.
Finally, he put a bunch of white roses in his hand in front of the tombstone, then patted the boy's forehead, asked him to follow suit and bowed, and then turned and left.
"Leaving now?"
The boy following behind him was very confused.
"What else? Do you want to live here?"
"I thought the sergeant would talk for a long time. I've seen many people talk a lot when they worship the dead."
"What can you say to a stone? No one can hear you even if you say it."
Having said so, Renly suddenly paused, then turned around under the boy's strange gaze and walked back to the tombstone. After a moment of silence, he sang a song called The Beautiful Girl in Summer.
This song is a folk song that is widely circulated in Westeros. The melody is cheerful and the rhythm is simple. The beautiful girl in the lyrics is pure and beautiful, but the song sounded from the cemetery, which gave this beauty a layer of sadness.
The bald boy beside him listened silently until the last sound dissipated. He then asked curiously: "The sergeant can sing? Why didn't I find it before?"
Renly looked at him and didn't respond.
...
The news that King Aenys was seriously ill did not hide it from the Seven Kingdoms for long, because he died of illness soon after.
As if they had been prepared for this, King Aenys's brother, Maegor Targaryen, suddenly returned from the exiled Free Trade City, and took advantage of his nephew Aegon being besieged in the Riverlands by the Church's armed forces to be crowned king on Dragonstone, becoming Maegor I.
He was the third king to sit on the Iron Throne, and also a king who had obtained the throne illegitimately. A large number of ravens spread from Dragonstone, spreading the news of the new king's coronation throughout the Seven Kingdoms, and the Church was very angry.
Because Maegor not only violated the previous punishment and returned from the exile, but also ignored the long-standing inheritance law and claimed the throne without authorization, bypassing his nephew.
Coupled with the various deeds of the past, the people in the Church were all indignant about this, and were ready to fight to the death with this king who was even more monstrous than Aenys.
In this atmosphere, the member of the Kingsguard secretly contacted Renly, obviously stimulated by what happened.
Renly went to discuss with him for a long time, and finally the two parties reached a cooperation.
Soon after, things happened exactly as Renly expected, or according to the original historical trajectory. On a gloomy morning, a loud dragon roar suddenly sounded from outside the coastline, and became louder and louder.
When Maegor I rode Balerion, the dragon known as the Black Death, to the top of Visenya Hills to rule, thousands of royalists hidden in the city responded to his call and gathered in droves.
The church attaches great importance to this, but the other party does not directly conflict with it. Instead, it speaks out and accepts the challenge of anyone who disobeys his rule.
Maegor's purpose is easy to guess, but the church is confident in it. In other words, except for dragons, the Targaryen family is not taken seriously by the church at all.
Nancy Tabek, the leader of the Sons of Warriors, was therefore ready to challenge. However, he seemed to be a little drunk from the wine he drank the night before, so he was still in a daze after waking up. When he went to challenge, someone was already one step ahead of him. .
The challenger was Raymont Baratheon, the Kingsguard of the late King Aenys. He openly opposed Maegor's coronation as king. He believed that Maegor's bigamy and the inheritance of the Iron Throne over his nephew Aegon were illegal, so he raised the challenge, but asked to expand the challenge. The more sacred judgment of the Seven Sons.
Maegor's side was forced to agree to the challenge, and Raymont Baratheon called on the righteous men of King's Landing to join him.
In public, a warrior's son responded to his call, and this warrior's son was named Lemon.
It was the middle of the 41st year of the Conquest Calendar, and it had been nearly three months since Renly entered this historical copy.
