The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming
Chapter 965: Harbinger of disaster
"No!" Daenerys said, "Master Kleon represents the will of the people, and the many opinions of the people are divine will."
"Public will is not divine will, otherwise there will be no priest, priest and monk who can communicate with God," said Red God Pastor.
Daenerys fell into thought, frowning.
Kleon shouted: "Franken, don't talk nonsense."
"The statues of the harpy suddenly collapsed. This is a sign and a signal from the gods."
"I think what the monk said may be right," James said. "It must be an unforgivable sin to take an oath."
"That's not necessarily." Will said, "I don't necessarily mean the will of the people and the will of God. I am more inclined to the opinion of Lord Kleon. The opinion of the people is not to be violated because it certainly represents a certain amount of God."
"Yes, public opinion represents divine will to a certain extent, but when public opinion goes wrong, God will give an omen to remind people that they are doing something wrong. If people do not realize after the omen, disaster will come." A priest Said affirmatively.
"So, if that's the case, what did we do wrong?" Daenerys said.
"Take an oath. Your Majesty, you are Astapo who was liberated because of the liberation of slaves. Now that Astapo slaves are coming back, your liberation is to deceive the divine will." The monk said.
"Then see if God will bring disasters in the future." Arya said, "but I can look forward to watching the nearest arena competition? I can't see it in other places."
"It would be a pity if it was naively banned by Her Majesty the Queen." James said, "I am actually very interested in the arena and the ** market. There are two great pleasures in life, one is fighting and the other is eroticism. You can enjoy both in Astapo. This is the bliss of life."
Daenerys said: "Master James, please don't say these things. The current arena and the ** market, as well as the emerging slave trading market, are indeed against my original vows and laws. But- "She looked at Master Kleon, "If all the people do not want to close the arena and the ** market, I still support the people. I am their queen, and I must let them live the life they want. ."
"Your Majesty's lesson." Kleon bowed hurriedly, respectfully.
"Your Majesty, if you really express dissatisfaction with divine will, persevering will destroy Astapo." The monk said firmly.
"I'll wait for the report from the architects first." Daenerys said, "If the building of the arena has no flaws and will never collapse, it proves that my dream is not a sign of divine will."
"It must be impossible!" Kleon said categorically.
"I also think it can't be. God is also very busy, it is impossible to pay attention to us little people." James shrugged and smiled.
"Master Kleon, please arrange for government officials to first transport the fallen harpy statue on the pyramid out of the city." Daenerys said.
"Take it out of town?"
"Yes."
"Your Majesty, you can ask the carver to repair it again, and then make it stand up again."
"No, even if you want to use the harpy statue, you need to re-carve it with new rocks. I won't allow it to be used again when it collapses. This is very ominous."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Kleon went immediately.

There were more and more people on the street. People in the whole city heard that the harpy on the top of the two big squares and the Shwedagon Pagoda collapsed, and many witnesses began to spread what they saw. Believers began to enter churches, temples, and wizard houses to ask those who could communicate with God about the cause of the accident.
An hour later, the craftsmen arrived and began to transport the three fallen harpy statues out of the city. The statue on the Punishment Square fell from a height and hit the stone ground. The ground shattered and the statue was broken into several pieces. The head of the harpy in Pride Square was broken, and the arms were broken in many places. These statues have been standing in Astabo for hundreds or even thousands of years. Their collapse has severely impacted the hearts of believers who believe in the Harpy God.
The next day, various rumors spread in the city. Some of them were that the collapse of the statue was a warning from the gods to the people of Astapo, because slaves reappeared in Astapo, the arena and the ** market were opened, and slave trade was also Trade resumed. This violates the oath of Her Majesty the Queen of the ‘Shackle Breaker’ and the ‘Slave Liberator’.
There are rumors that Her Majesty has sworn to the gods of the sky, the earth, and the sea that she will free all the slaves in Astapo and make everyone a free citizen. However, Her Majesty took the oath.
Believers flocked to the temple to ask good and bad luck, and the answer was that Her Majesty’s nightmare projected onto the real world. This was a signal of punishment that violated the divine will.
At the same time, Her Majesty also dreamed that the arena would collapse, just like the harpy on the pyramid would collapse.
When people heard this, they were all anxious.
A few days later, priests, priests, scholars, doctors, sorcerers, or monks were all talking about the mystery of Her Majesty’s nightmare. The news became more and more wicked. There are rumors that if slavery is not completely destroyed, the arena If the slave market and the slave trade market are not closed, the people of Astapo will be severely punished.
But the rumors returned to the rumors, a few days passed, and none of the twelve arenas collapsed.
After a few more days, although the rumors became more and more disturbing, the report of Lord Kleon’s arena came out, and the announcements were plastered at all major city gates and squares, and there were dedicated government officials everywhere. It is said that the arena has been inspected by the architect, and there is no abnormality in any place, everything is illusory, and the arena will not collapse.
As for the fall of the harpy, the answer was found: "The new king is in charge of Astabo, so the statue of the harpy should be replaced with a new one." Kleon quickly dispatched a stonemason and a carver. The architect, go into the deep mountains outside the city to mine the finest rocks, and bring them back to re-carve the three harpy statues, which are taller, larger and more magnificent than the previous ones.
The news broke, and the hearts of the anxious people began to slowly recover.
In order to comfort the people, Her Majesty the Queen and Lord Kleon decided to hold the largest competition in the largest arena. The news came out, and the people rejoiced and believed that all bad omens were misinterpreted by the priests and monks. So, on the day of the arena game, the citizens of the city flocked to the sports square, lining up all night to buy tickets to support the opening of the arena.
Those **** good masters should turn them into slaves and let them also try to fight against night lions, black crocodiles, snake lizards, wolves and vicious dogs. Many nobles and princes from the island nations in Slave Bay also came to Astapo to watch this **** battle in unprecedented grandeur.
Daenerys and Kleon-sama became the masters themselves and opened the gambling market. Musicians, dancers, burlesques, clowns, etc. in Astapo were invited by the Queen and Lord Kleon to perform in the arena on the first day of the competition.
*
As soon as Daenerys and the Archon of Kleon walked out of the Great Pyramid, a red-robed priest, a bachelor, a monk, a priest, and a doctor came upon them. They stopped Daenerys. Headed by the Red-robed priest, he asked Daenerys and Kleon-sama, as well as the VIPs around Daenerys: Lord Will, James Swordsman, and Miss Arya must not go to the arena, because Red Pastor Robe saw in the flames last night that once Her Majesty sits on the stands of the arena, the arena will collapse.
Daenerys heard it unbelievably.
Kleon looked at Her Majesty's face unhappy, stepped forward to berate the red-robed priest, and ordered the Unsullied to drive away the group. The Unsullied are indifferent, they only listen to one person's order: Her Majesty.
Commander Grey Worm stood blankly, as if there was no Archon of Kleon.
Arya said worriedly: "Your Majesty, I am worried, in case what the pastor said is true..."
"It may be true, or it may be false." James said.
Daenerys hesitated.
Kleon bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please let the Unsullied drive away the priest, the bachelor., the monk and the priest. This group of hordes is not credible."
Will said: "My Lord Kleon, the Grand Priest and others all think that going to see the arena today will collapse. I still advise Her Majesty not to go."
Kleon was very angry. He said, "Well, your Majesty, for your safety, you should not go to the arena to watch the show today. I will go. If there is no problem with the arena on this day, please order the Queen. , Let me kill these guys."
Daenerys said: "Never, Lord Kleon. They came to discourage me, also out of good intentions. Well, I will not go today. You go on my behalf today, please leave me Tell the people, I will definitely be there tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Kleon said.
*
Her Majesty Queen Daenerys and her distinguished guests decided not to watch the competition under the full resistance of the monks, priests, priests, bachelors, etc., but it was only a day off, and she must go to the competition the next day. And, if nothing happens in the arena today, Daenerys will not receive the next comment from the priest and others.
Kleon was full of resentment and went to the arena alone. The city garrison is responsible for the city’s security and patrol missions, as well as defending the city gates. Since Her Majesty’s return, the garrison has been removed. Kleon ordered no unsullied ones to move, and the garrison he can mobilize cannot Staying in the pyramid to serve again makes it very inconvenient for him to order whoever he wants to be arrested.
Kleon walked to the Competitive Square and met a hundred people from the garrison maintaining order. The soldiers of the garrison were all familiar with Kleon, and many of them showed up after killing the good master and finally got the chance to join the garrison.
The centurion brought the brothers up.
"Master Kleon, you are very depressed today!" The Centurion laughed.
"I was disgusted by the priests in the city." Kleon said these guys prevented Her from watching the competition, and immediately some of the brothers were willing to do things for Kleon. Kleon immediately decided to arrest all the leaders of these pastors, priests, and monks just tonight, and asked them to write down a letter of guarantee that they would not say anything that was unacceptable to Her Majesty the Queen. Anyone who is disobedient shall be killed and thrown into the stone pit in the mountain.
The priests and others who came to see Her Majesty the Queen are all high priests, high priests, and high monks in the city of Astapo, equivalent to the leaders of their believers, as the saying goes is the leader.
Kleon wanted such a guy to disappear quietly, one in a few days, without showing a trace. These guys are talking about them, claiming that they can predict the future and see the fragments of the development of the affairs. Then, can they know that Kleon will send someone to clean up their affairs? Of course it is absolutely impossible.
The Prophet had never appeared in Astapo.

Kleon stood on the highest stand on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen. He raised his fists and his two thumbs up. This was a sign of victory in the arena and a sign to determine the life and death of a gladiator. As long as the thumb was down, Whether the gladiators in the field win or lose, they are dead. The gladiator can survive only if the chief's thumb is up.
In the audience, Her Majesty the Queen did not come, that is the Archon Cleon who decides the life and death of the people and the beasts!
When a person or beast ends the battle, is it to kill him or it based on his poor performance, or let him or it be trained to come back next time, everything is on the big thumb of the archon on the highest stand.
Kleon raised his fists, his thumbs up, and began an enthusiastic speech. He first greeted the audience on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen. The audience was enthusiastic and chanted long live the Queen.
Daenerys's prestige in Slave Bay is supreme and is loved and liked by people.
Afterwards, Kleon delivered a passionate speech.
He first praised Her Majesty the Queen, then changed the conversation and talked about the recent rumors in the city. He also said that when Her Majesty the Queen went out today, he encountered the high priest, the high priest, the high monk, the academician and the great doctor. To obstruct, they believe that the opening of the arena angered the gods, the gods of the sky, the earth and the sea will punish them, and the arena will collapse.
Her Majesty the Queen was kind and could not bear to disobey their persuasion. She decided not to come today to comfort those **** sticks. Her Majesty will come tomorrow, because the lies of those **** sticks will be verified: today's arena will not collapse. All arenas will not collapse.
The 20,000 people crowded in the audience shouted for victory. Under the leadership of Kleon, everyone stood up, raised their fists, thumbs up, made a victory gesture, and sang Astar. Wave's Gladiator's Song.
Click!
An egg-like cracking sound sounded, but was drowned in the chorus of the audience led by Kleon.
Click!
A sound similar to the breaking of a wooden board sounded.
The sound of the plank breaking is much greater than the sound of extreme cracking, but still no one hears it.
Click!
A louder voice sounded, and people with sensitive hearing heard it, but no one cared. Everyone sang "Gladiator's Song"!
