The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Ed Stark saw Bran in a white robe, with the dagger of courage given by Stannis hanging around his waist with Summer, his face expressionless.

"Master Ed, Brandon Stark is already my Royal Guard: I bestow him the honor of bravery. Brave Bran's name will soon spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms." Stannis opened his lips as thin as a blade. Together, the words have always been indifferent.

"Bran, you can't even beat me." Arya shouted from the Warhammer. Her Namelia howls up to the sky.

Sansa's eyes were full of tears, and Bran was only eight years old, and will stay in King's Landing alone from then on. The lady at her feet screamed with a whimper.

In summer, he ran to the water and howled while prancing.

The Warhammer had a deep draft and could not get near the shore. There were special boats parked by the river to pick up people and boxes.

Melisandre, in a big red robe, was attracted by Arya's cry. She looked at Arya, and a chill suddenly rose in her heart. This child carried a terrifying breath of death.

Her red eyes kept staring, and a faint anxiety rose in her heart.

The girl with the breath of death on her body, she traveled all over the world and met for the first time.

"Master Ed Stark, how old is your little daughter this year."

"Eleven years old, Mrs. Melisandre."

"Eleven-year-old kid, that's great."

"The Stark family has lived in the harsh environment of the North for tens of thousands of years. Their bloodline is unique. Arya has the blood of running a wolf, and Bran has the blood of bravery."

Bran tried to straighten his chest, and a flow of heat rose in his heart. His father’s affirmation surpassed the king’s praise and admiration to him!

This is the end of the matter, and Ed Stark can't imagine it either.

He cannot defy the king's order and take Bran Stark away forcibly.

It's too late.

A lot of things happened last night, and no one noticed that Bran slipped out of the Prime Minister's Tower in the middle of the night and went to find Stannis I by himself. The character of Stannis I will not make Bran the smallest Royal Guard in history, but Davos, the Red Robe Girl, Cyris, Palos and others will urge Stannis to make a decision.

Because Bran is in King’s Landing, beside Stannis I, he is the Iron Guard, and when necessary, he is also a hostage.

Ed Stark's loyalty and honor need not be questioned, but it is always good to have someone with the Stark family.

At the time of King Robert I, all of the seven kingdoms, except the northern border, had heirs of aristocratic lords serving as courtiers in the red castle. If something happens, these heirs are hostages. Someone in hand is also a bargaining chip to ensure the loyalty of the vassals! Of course, for the lord, having an heir beside the king is also a symbol of family status and honor, which is a double-edged sword. For example, Sir Berry Dondelion of Blackport, voluntarily stayed in the Red Fort as a courtier, hoping to contribute to the kingdom.

Next to the king, stood the "Fearless" Barristan Selmi, Captain of the Iron Guard of the Royal Forest; the little Iron Guard Brandon Stark, his sword and his wolf, no less inferior to any one. A first-rate swordsman, his small shots have been perfected; the red-robed female Mei Li Shanzhuo, the red priest who lost her faith in the red god, sometimes can't tell whether the threat of the cold **** should be put first. It is still desperate to promote faith and absorb believers.

In addition, there is Davos Seaworth, the hand of the king, a new lord who is proficient in all smuggling tactics. No one can match the skills of night boating. He is proficient in the waters of Westeros and the narrow sea; The young scholar Palos who has devoted himself to the faith of the Red God; the queen Cyris who established her own party in the name of the Red God. Her followers are collectively referred to as the "post-party", people united by the Red God as a bond , The post-party people include lord knight soldiers and civilians, regardless of class.

Ed Stark greeted the king and queen, and asked Melisandre to speak a few words separately, which was approved by the king.

The two walked a distance to the side.

"Melisandre, don't demolish the sanctuary and the sacred forest." Ed Stark said solemnly.

"Why? You are afraid that your prediction will not be met and you cannot let me join the Tribunal."

"To demolish the sanctuary, you will welcome the opposition of millions of people in King's Landing City. Demolish the sacred woods. What you hurt is the belief of the people in the north. Don't forget that the Lord of Light brought you to Westeros. What, find the light messenger, assist the human emperor, and fight against the cold **** and his people."

"I have never forgotten my mission, Prime Minister. Let King's Landing people bathe in the light of the Red God. When they all believe in the Red God, the magic power of the Cold God will be suppressed."

"But don't forget, there is a St. Belle's Cathedral in King's Landing. If you demolish the temple, you will tear the unity of the king, and the attacking enemies will find excuses and incite the people to rebel against you and Stannis I."

"No, Lord Ed, you underestimated the power of the Lord of Light. Only the Red God can fight the Cold God, and the others are false gods."

Ed Stark's heart suddenly moved, whether the Red God and the Cold God are the real ice and fire? In fact, his previous understanding of ice and fire was always wrong.

The red **** is fire, and the cold **** is ice.

Is this a duel of ice and fire?

On the territory of the Seven Gods and the Old Gods?

But how can the Seven Gods and the Old Gods be willing?

The rules of the world shouldn’t be left with only ice and fire, as well as mountains, seas, forests and rivers, but also plains and valleys. These places should also have their own gods.

Ed Stark said lightly: "Melisandre, think of Braavos' Isle of Gods. On it, the Red God, the Cold God, the Seven Gods and all the old gods are accepted."

Melisandre giggled, her charm was moving: "Master Ed, Westeros is different, and the will of the gods here is also different. Some gods have declined, some gods have been wiped out, and some Gods are rising rapidly, and some gods are already very powerful and will be even stronger. Do you know why the four seasons of Westeros are so different? Know why the winter is so long, and this time it’s a decade The long summer, and the long summer is not over yet, but according to the world's rules of balance, shouldn't it be the seasons of the year?"

Ed Stark said lightly: "My hunch, Westeros continent will usher in all four seasons, this is the war."

"You are wrong. Westeros will never usher in the four seasons of the year. The seasons in this world depend on the war of the gods. Soon, the long night and winter will come together, and all the creatures will be enslaved, only The red **** is the only powerful **** who can defeat the cold god, join me, and let the king of light grant you invincible power."

Ed Stark took a deep look at Melisandre: "You are doomed to fail, Melisandre, just like the cold **** cannot unify the will of the gods, and the red **** is definitely not good."

"Then let's see whether your Holy Tribunal, which can accommodate all gods and beliefs, can succeed, or whether my King of Light is ultimately invincible."

"I didn't want to see this situation." Ed Stark said softly, he turned and left, walked to Bran, hugged Bran: "Take care of yourself, Bran, you are brave Bran, whatever If anything happens, remember, you are Stark."

"I'll remember, my father." Bran's eyes were red.

Father had never said such words to him so emotionally, and father almost never hugged him.
