Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

Behind the tall and thin man is a strong black man with a completely opposite skin color. He is about seven feet tall, with a white beard like a lion's hair on his face, and every part of his body is exposed. All of them are covered with red flame tattoos.

Ian saw the latter from the perspective of a falcon. In Daenerys's palace in Astapor, when Maggiore visited Daenerys, Ian instructed the little queen to show her the Go game he had carved out at random. . Originally, Ian had prepared a long paragraph of binary opposition theory to explain the game, but he didn't expect that all the explanations were not used, and Magi Luo had already 'enlightened' it on his own.

Since the red-robed monk who is half a step behind the tall and thin man is Maqi Luo, whose magical ability is not weaker than Melisandre's, then the identity of the red-robed monk who is standing in the main position is easy to reveal. Only Volantis' Only the Supreme Red God Priest Benero can have this qualification.

"Welcome," Benero took a step forward after Ian and his group approached, "Friends from Slaver's Bay."

"We would be very grateful if you are willing to lend us a helping hand." Seeing that Ian had no intention of speaking, Count Darren Grafson also took a step forward and accepted the task of talking to Benero, "If not With your help, we may be in trouble tonight."

"We are all servants of R'hllor, and this is our duty." Benero shook his head and said, "Because the night is long and dangerous everywhere."

When Benero spoke, Ian kept observing his lipless mouth. Every time the mouth opened and closed, it was accompanied by the beating of fire.

"The night is long and dangerous everywhere." Lord Daeron repeated the other party's prayer.

"Please follow me into the temple first." Benero stepped aside and the guards behind him also moved aside.

As Ian, Daeron and Melisandre stepped into the steel gate, Benero also turned and walked into the temple, keeping a parallel position with several distinguished guests.

After passing through a marble avenue that was large enough for 20 horses to run side by side, Ian and the others were quickly brought to the second gate of the Great Red Temple. This door is made of bronze and is smaller than the main door outside, but it is still nearly 10 meters high.

The guards who followed Ian and the others into the temple as well as the soldiers of the Tiger Robe Army were left outside the door. Only a few personal guards followed Ian and the others into the door.

Behind the bronze gate is a magnificent temple. The entire temple is integrated without any gaps or traces of bonding, as if it was carved from a giant natural rock.

Every pillar, every staircase, every stone wall, every tower in the temple, and even the stone arches and domes of the entire temple are astonishingly large. They are completely unlike the proportions that a human activity place should have. More like it was created for the legendary giant.

On the walls of the temple, countless tones of red, yellow, gold, orange, etc. are intertwined together, painting gorgeous pictures. The slender spiers are entangled with each other, like cold flames spinning upwards, pointing straight to the sky.

Ian has been in the world of ice and fire for a long time, but this is the first time that he has been amazed by a certain building. Even in the modern era where civilization is highly developed, Ian has never seen such a spectacular building. buildings.

This reminded Ian of an evaluation of the imperial architectural style he had seen online - it does not seek equal dialogue, it only wants you to marvel and surrender when you stand in front of it.

"Your Majesty the Duke? What's wrong with you?" Darren was the first to notice and stopped and asked aloud.

"It's okay," Ian quickly responded, taking out his injured right hand from his burqa and raising it, "It's just that it suddenly reacted."

Ian had been hiding his injuries before because he didn't want the soldiers below to know that he was injured, but now that there are only a few of his closest confidants left here, there is no need to hide it anymore.

"Are you injured?" Melisandre noticed Ian's hand injury and immediately stepped forward to check.

Ian was not polite and handed her his hand directly. At the same time, he also noticed that when he got the news that his hand was injured, Magiro also took a step forward, but after Melisandre spoke He went back again.

"A section of my thumb was cut off. Can it be recovered?" After Melisandre checked the injury, Ian took out his knuckles that had been cut off by the Dothraki mercenary from his pocket and handed them over. go out.

"It needs to be washed with water first." Melisandre did not answer directly, but she gave a positive answer.

This was within Ian's expectation. The potion called 'Blessing of the Supreme Shepherd' in the system mall can restore broken bones. There is no reason for a top Red God priest like Melisandre to do this. Less than the same thing.

"Then let's go to the central temple first." Benero was quite enthusiastic, "I will have my servants prepare water."

So the group quickened their pace and soon arrived at the third door in the Red Temple.

This door is much smaller than the previous two, with a height of about 5 meters and a width of about 4 meters. But the shocking thing is that this door is made of gold. Ian doesn't know whether it is gold-plated or pure gold. If it is the latter, then the military expenditure for the second half of the year will probably be enough. The King of Light should not be stingy. Are you arguing with yourself about such small things? Maybe not

After entering the central temple, Ian found that the place was terrifyingly empty and simple. There were no decorations or statues. In the center of the hall was a giant iron brazier with a diameter of 40 feet, which was burning blazingly. Fiery flames.

There are a circle of 'small' braziers about 3 feet around the giant brazier, 120 in total.

After the servants from the Red Temple brought water to clean Ian's wound, Ian returned the knuckles to their original positions, and then Melisandre chanted a spell, which was a strange, high-pitched song with a cry. , with lyrics in High Valyrian.

Ian has been learning this language from Daenerys and Celia for a long time. Although he has not learned it very well because he often misses in class, he has no obstacles to normal communication in most situations.

It's just that Ian didn't understand a single word of the song Melisandre sang at the first time. He barely understood it after checking the knowledge memory brought by the "Legend of the Red God Priest" skill. The general idea of ​​the lyrics.

After about three minutes, Melisandre began to motion for Ian to put his hand into the brazier.

This made Ian hesitate a little. After all, this clone of his does not have any skills of the Red God Priest, nor does it have any fire resistance. If it reaches into the brazier, it will be roasted into charcoal? But Melisandre's eyes were firm, and Ian finally chose to do it.

However, he regretted it the moment he put his hand into the fire. The intense burning sensation was transmitted along the nerves to Ian's brain. With the blessing of Melisandre's spell, the pain that Ian felt was even worse than Under normal circumstances, putting your hands in a fire is hundreds of times more powerful.

The treatment lasted for three hours and went into the night.

When Ian pulled his hand out of the brazier, his entire right arm was covered in blood all the way to the elbow, and his hand was completely burnt to black. He spread out his palm, which had become whole again, and wisps of black smoke came from between his fingers. rise.

If he had known earlier, he might as well have bought a can of 'The Supreme Shepherd's Blessing'. In order to save a mere 20 points, Ian took a deep breath and no longer dwelled on this unfortunate incident.

At this time, everyone had already gone to rest. After Ian walked out of the hall, he glanced at the empty corridor, then turned to say goodbye to Melisandre, and followed the temple slaves to the room where he would rest tonight.

After lying on the bed, Ian couldn't fall asleep because his arms were still hurting. Moonlight poured into the room from the skylight and shone on the wall painted with flame murals. Ian couldn't help but think of the missionary mission that was still in progress.

Since he wasn't sleepy anyway, he simply sat up, turned on the auxiliary system, and opened Celia's taskbar in [Alliance].

[Main mission three: Integration of politics and religion

mission target:

# Obtain more than 500,000 followers (30 points)

# Get more than 3 million followers (100 points)

# Cities with more than 500,000 believers (100 points/city)

# Obtain 10,000 religious soldiers whose system quality evaluation exceeds level B (30 points)

# Obtain 30,000 religious soldiers whose system quality evaluation exceeds B level (100 points)

# Convert (kill or convert) 100,000 devout pagans (30 points) (√)

# Convert (kill or convert) one million devout pagans (100 points)

# Destroy a religion with more than 500,000 followers (so that the number of remaining followers does not exceed 500) (100 points/time)

Mission rewards (can be claimed after completing all the above missions, among which destroying religions and cities with 500,000 believers need to be completed at least once): 1,000 points

Note: Each city in the city occupation mission can only be settled when it is occupied for the first time]

Ian originally thought that he had converted believers quickly enough in Slaver's Bay, but when he actually saw this set of tasks, he realized that he was still far away from completing Celia's main plot three.

So far, the entire task force has only completed the task of "conquering" one hundred thousand devout pagans. Ian estimated that this should also include a large number of Dothraki who were physically converted and those Lazarins who refused to surrender.

As for the believers themselves, they have not even reached the base of 500,000.

However, according to Ian's estimation, after he completes the transformation of the entire Slaver's Bay and Lazar area, plus the Red God believers in Volantis, it should not be difficult to reach a total of 3 million believers.

Similarly, the task of owning a city with more than 500,000 believers is not difficult. You only need to capture Volantis and then declare religious rule over such a city. This task can be compared with Ian's own task of occupying the city in the third main line. Completed together.

Originally, Ian did not intend to let Celia complete this task, because teaching her a city with a population of 500,000 would give her the ability to fight against him, laying the risk for the alliance to break later.

But now that he has become the spokesperson of R'hllor, Celia's future status in the church can only be regarded as the same level as Benero and Melisandre, so this risk has actually been eliminated.

For the same reason, having 10,000 and 30,000 B-level or above religious armies can also complete the two tasks. You only need to directly change the entire Tiger Robe Army into a religious army after taking Volantis. If this is the case Even if there are not enough 30,000 B-level soldiers, then some elite soldiers should be selected for training according to the model of the Slave Iron Legion. This task can be completed in up to half a year.

The really hard part is the remaining two missions.

The first one is to ‘conquer one million devout pagans’.

It is easy to 'conquer' a million people. Preaching and coercion and inducement are not enough, and if it is not enough, coupled with physical salvation, there are many people in the Raza area and the upper reaches of the Volantis Lorne River who can be converted by themselves. But adding the qualifier 'piety' is difficult. In this era when most people don't have enough to eat, if the system's piety standards are stricter, Ian simply doesn't know where to find enough. Thousands of devout believers.

Perhaps the Roaring Warriors of Dothraki count, and then there are the northerners who believe in the old gods. When the six southern kingdoms have all converted to the Seven Gods, the northerners can persist in their faith for hundreds of years, and they still have some degree of piety. Followers of the Red God and the Many-Faced God of Braavos should also have slightly higher piety than other religions.

As for other religions, it's hard to say. Even the knights in Westeros who anointed themselves with holy oil and kept vigil in the temple during their conferment didn't establish the 'Faith' of Light immediately after Stannis converted. The king's queen? The Harpy believers in Slaver's Bay are even more ridiculous. After Ian declared the Red God Religion as the state religion, all the Gith nobles went to the Red Temple to complete the conversion ceremony as soon as possible.

The second difficult task is to ‘destroy a religion with more than 500,000 believers so that its remaining followers do not exceed 500’.

If the figure of 1 million devout believers is too high, then the figure of leaving no more than 500 people in a religion is undoubtedly ridiculously low.

Take Slaver's Bay as an example. As long as Ian misses any tribe hidden deep in the Ghiscari Mountains when transforming Slaver's Bay, he may miss 500 followers of the Harpy. What's more, the trade in Slaver's Bay is developed, and there are many Gith people in this world who have settled in other cities for a long time. It is impossible for Ian to chase Qarth or even Yindu to save them.

Taking a step back, even if everyone is converted, among this population that is so huge that it can be counted in units of one hundred thousand, there are not 500 fanatics who pretend to convert but retain their original beliefs?

All in all, this mission was more outrageous than converting one million devout believers, and Ian could hardly see the possibility of completing it.

However, if you don’t complete main line three, you won’t get the last 1,000 points of the entire mission, and you won’t be able to open main line four.

Ian has almost finished his third main line, and has only just over 1,000 points. After completion, he can get another 1,000. These plus the first half of Celia's main line three points, the total is less than 3,000.

If you don't complete Celia's main line three, then your main line four must provide at least 6,000 points, and if you can complete them all, you can achieve the victory condition of 10,000 points.

From what Ian knew about the dog plan, this was all a dream.

Forget it, take it step by step and solve Volantis' problem first. In the end, Ian gave up thinking for the time being and forced himself to sleep.
