78 The Judgment of the Seven Sons (1)
The clouds in the sky gathered into shape, and after Lan Li took a few glances, they disappeared again. However, before he could think carefully, an old voice suddenly came to his ears.
"Lemon, is it better? Do you look a little better than yesterday?"
Looking around, there was a white-haired old man sitting on the side of the ox cart, and now the man turned his head and looked at him with concern.
lemon?
It is popular among civilians to use various plants and fruits to name their children, such as lemons, tansy, turnips, castor, beans, etc., and all of them are called.
I am a civilian now?
Lan Li knew it secretly, but did not speak, but nodded.
Seeing this, the other party smiled, revealing a mouthful of teeth that were reddened by chewing some kind of plant similar to betel nut effect all year round.
"Then you have a good rest, and I'll call you after I stop." The old man said, patting Lan Li's forehead, his expression seemed quite close.
Lan Li nodded again, then pretended to be tired and closed her eyes and started to rest.
But in fact, he was constantly listening to all the words around him, and in conjunction with the abnormal clouds he had just seen, he gradually had some clues in his heart.
...
In the 37th year of the Conquest, the conquerors Aegon died of a stroke on Dragonstone Island at the age of 64.
His eldest son Inis then succeeded to the throne.
King Inis was weak and incompetent. During his short rule, chaos in the seven countries broke out, and the most serious was the conflict with the church.
The Targaryen family intermarriages for generations, but this is seriously in conflict with the church's doctrine that prohibits incest.
When the Conqueror Aegon was alive, the church acquiesced the matter and even more acquiesced to his polygamy. However, after his death, when facing an incompetent king, this contradiction immediately surfaced.
The first outbreak of the conflict was that King Inis's younger brother, Meg Targaryen, married his second wife and committed bigamy. Although the result of this was that Prince Meg took his second wife to the Free Trade City-state, the church was obviously not satisfied with it.
This also left hidden dangers for the second more intense outbreak of conflicts.
In the 41st year of the conquest, King Inis arranged for his daughter to marry his heirs according to family traditions. So the old town Fanxing Temple issued a stern statement, expelling the king from the church of the Seven Gods, and scolding him as a monster king. So the people responded one after another, and countless hostile eyes were aimed at Targaryen, who had originally ruled them.
At that time, the church not only had two armed forces, including the poor and the sons of the warriors, but also had the right to govern the judging.
After the Yu Fanxing Temple's statement, the soldiers' sons began to strengthen the defense of the Sihuai Temple at the top of the King's Landing Reneth Hills, and summoned people to support, preparing to use this as a stronghold to fight against the royal Red Fort on Aegon's Goch Hills.
Some members of the crazy poor gathering climbed up the Red Fort wall that had not yet been fully completed and sneaked into the Red Fort to prepare to assassinate the king.
Although they failed, they scared the weak king so much that they fled back to the Dragon Stone Island, the old nest of the Targaryen family, and thus the king's land was completely occupied by the church.
King Inis died of illness shortly after returning to Dragonstone Island. Although he had his own son, it was not his heir who ascended the throne, but his younger brother Meg.
Meg's mother was Queen Visania, the conqueror's queen challenged everyone who denied Meg's rule after her son was crowned on Longstone Island.
The head of the Son of the Church warriors accepted the challenge, but the condition was to launch the older and cruel judgment of the Seven Sons.
King Megg responded.
...
This is roughly a series of events facing the current era.
Lanli found that the people around him were talking about the statement issued by the Archbishop of the Star Church. It was obvious that this "newness" had not passed. In conjunction with other words, he was finally sure that their people were summoned to rush towards King Lin and go to guard the Senai Church at the top of King Reness Hill, and fight against King Inis, who had not yet escaped.
But this route does not conflict with the three things he had seen before--
【Accorded as a knight】
[Assessed in the church's judgment on the seven sons of Meg I and won in the name of the son of the warrior]
【Guide the Son of Chaos on the Right Road】
...
Lan Li felt that these things were more difficult than the other.
It is not too difficult for him to be named a knight, because in the tradition of Westeros, a knight can be named a knight. If he does it literally, he can get some money and then bribe a poor knight to enthrone him.
Although this kind of enthronement is extremely unhappy and unregular, and there is also the risk of being questioned for fraud, it is nominally considered to have obtained the identity of a knight.
However, if you consider the second thing, Renli will never be able to fool things like this.
The Poor's Assembly and the Son of the Warrior are two major armed forces of the church. However, compared to the poor gathering that anyone can join, the Son of the Warrior who only stores the Knights needs to be strictly screened. All kinds of knight skills cannot be added.
For Lanli, he had never received knight training at all, let alone he not only wanted to join the warrior's son, but also defeat the seven sons' judgment.
The trial of the Seven Sons is similar to the ordinary one-on-one competition trial rules, but the number is seven to seven. Except for the parties involved revoking the accusation or the person being tried to die, the trial of the Seven Sons cannot be stopped, which means that both parties either die or I live.
This is fine. Even if you face an ordinary enemy, you will not have any chance of winning. However, this trial belongs to the confrontation between Westeros’ long-standing church and a new secular dynasty. The participants in it cannot be mediocre, but they will only be top experts carefully selected by the two forces.
A rookie who has not yet become a knight, go against all the top knights in the mainland?
Lan Li didn't think he could win by hitting him head-on, and he had no idea how to get involved in the trial.
In addition, the third task also made him very confused.
Whether it is historical records or memories he has, the term "Son of Chaos" has never appeared. So who is this thing, or what is it?
So how to guide?
Countless questions made him feel powerless for a moment, but in general, Lan Li did not lose confidence because of this. After all, this is just a copy. It depends on the situation and it is impossible to complete these tasks.
So he stopped thinking about it, glanced around, and finally looked at the old figure wearing a rainbow cloak leading the way in the front of the team.
The team that was heading towards the king here was mixed with members of ordinary civilians and poor people, and a group of "militia" gathered by poor people was generally led by the son of a warrior.
The rainbow cloak on the other party can prove that he is the son of a warrior, so it must be the militiamen, or the leader of this team, and Renli cannot ignore him.
