Chapter 0647 People are here and the tower is here! (`●__●ˊ) /(1/4)

 The Seven Gods Church is the main religious belief of the Andals and ancestors of the seven kingdoms on the Westeros continent. People often simply call it the "church".

The seven gods worshipped by the church are actually seven different forms of a deity, representing seven different virtues and existences. The worshipper will pray to a specific form of the seven gods based on what he wants.

The seven forms of gods believed in by the Seven Gods are: Heavenly Father, Virgin Mary, Warrior, Girl, Blacksmith, Old Woman, Stranger...

In the Westeros continent, except for the south, there are generally only two places where people do not have a wide range of belief in the Seven Gods. One of them is the northern territory where the old Gods still believe in the old Gods, and the other is the Iron Islands where the floods Gods are believed.

In fact, the old god faith in the Northland is the primitive faith that first appeared on this Westeros continent!

Before humans migrated westward from the Esos continent to Westeros through the Dorn arm, on this land, the sons of the forest were the faiths of the old gods! The binding force of the faith of the old gods on the believers has not been very high since ancient times. That kind of faith is a very simple and simple primitive worship for nature!

It has no fixed doctrine, no formal requirements, nor does it require believers to pray or worship regularly.

The totems believed in by the old gods are generally "heart tree", which is the kind of quack-wood with strange bloody faces engraved on the trunks... The organizational structure of that kind of faith is very loose, similar to the rigorous doctrines of the Seven Gods and the church structures of the believers, monks, nuns, etc. are all without them!

At most, only the "Green Prophet" (druid) plays a role similar to the high priest in the primitive tribe? However, to this day, even the "Green Prophet" is about to disappear...

In ancient legends, the "Green Prophet" once had very powerful magic. The original Dorn arm of the Westeros continent was destroyed by the legendary Green Prophet's magic and turned into the current stone-stair island... Unfortunately, the magic now has declined. Even if it is as strong as seeing through the three-eyed crow Bran Stark, his so-called son of the forest, can only directly possess the animals and plants, and there are almost no direct or indirect attack methods.

Originally, there were only those "Sons of the Forest" on this continent. Later, the ancestors began to set foot in Westeros and seized forest resources from the Sons of the Forest and cut down the beams. Then the two sides began to have conflicts... The result of the war was naturally the ancestors and the Sons of the Forest. One of the conditions for peace talks was that from then on, the ancestors would also begin to believe in the old gods.

In a certain period of time later, it was the Andals' turn to invade Westeros...

As a result, the Andals defeated the ancestors and the sons of the forest, so that in addition to resisting the northern borders invaded by the Andals, almost all southern areas on the Westeros continent began to believe in the Protestantism-Seven Gods. The remaining ones who still believe in the old gods were the Stark family, the Lide family, and some free people (savages) outside the Great Wall guarded by the North.

Compared with the beliefs of the Seven Gods or the Old Gods, the Iron Islands' Gods are more ignorant...

The flooding ceremony of the Iron Islands that flood people into the water and make people dying is originally very barbaric. In addition, the geographical reasons of the Iron Islands make the Iron People's style of conduct is equally barbaric and ignorant. If you don't do anything for production all day, you will know how to burn, kill, plunder and loot, and live a life of half fishermen and half pirates. You have always been hostile and despised by people on the Westeros!

Of course, it is also possible that the archipelago soil is poor and rocky, and civilians have no cattle to farm, and their mineral resources are not as rich as the Western Frontier?

Compared with the faiths of the Son of the Forest, the God of Light, the God of Thousand Faces, etc., which represent the Old God, the Church, that is, the Seven Gods, the faith of the Seven Gods is much more advanced than the Old Gods... The entire Seven Gods' belief system is also very perfect. They have strict hierarchy and professional clergy, which is incomparable to other beliefs.

For example, in the church structure, ordinary clergy, males are called monks, while females are naturally nuns, and related armed forces of their own church... and further up, there are bishops and archbishops of the church, and the highest leader is called archbishops... Generally speaking, archbishops are born among archbishops, but there are exceptions, such as the sparrow that was just taken directly by Queen Cersei in a wildfire and killed alive?

The brave guy who wanted to judge the queen and interfere with the royal family was not the elected archbishop, but the appointed one... Of course, he finally paid the price for his ignorance, although he almost succeeded.

Unlike other old gods’ beliefs, the Seven Gods have a special missionary place, namely churches, or can it be called a sacred church?

Originally, the earliest headquarters of the Seven Gods Faith was in the old town, the one named "Star Church". Later... for various reasons, the headquarters moved to the King's Landing, which was built by Belle Targaryen I after Targaryen conquered Westeros!

This church was originally the largest church in King's Landing, and even the largest church in the entire Westeros! Unfortunately, this church, together with the Sparrow and the disobedient church armed forces, and countless powerful people, were all blown up by Queen Cersei.

Therefore, in the megacity of King Landing, a population of nearly one million, in order to maintain its rule, the church of the Seventh Gods was reused a small building and reorganized the new archbishop and reorganized the new church armed "Son of Warriors".

Of course, now everyone in this new Landing Church of the Seventh Gods belongs to her, or to listen to her, Queen Cersei!

And those who were disobedient were all dead and none of them were left behind...

today,

This new church in King's Landing, Queen Cersei, the mistress of King's Landing, visited here for the first time.

“…”

Oh!

The Seven Gods…?

Cersei looked up at the simple portraits of the seven gods on the church walls, namely: Heavenly Father, Virgin Mary, Warrior, Girl, Blacksmith, Old Woman and Stranger...

However, her attitude is very arrogant now, and she has no intention of kneeling down to pray or worship, nor has the respectful attitude she should have when appreciating the statue of God. She just squinted her eyes straight, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and stared at the gods on the wall playfully.

Obviously, the portrait of the Seven Gods may be a bit hasty, and the funds may not be sufficient. Not only is the materials used much worse than the original "Belle Temple", but even the painters are careless. In just a few days, the painters seem to have some discoloration?

However……

Although Cersei also discovered it, she didn't care too much about it!

Because, after the great sparrow incident, she no longer believed in the Seven Gods! If she had not ruled this city and needed this church, she would not have wasted money to send people to rebuild it.

"How about it, Anne, is this church OK?"

"This is far worse than the one before, but if you want to pray or worship, I think this responsible Archbishop will guide you."

Today, Cersei's own tasks have been assigned. For a long time in the future, she only needs to sit in the King's Landing and slowly watch the changes in the situation! Therefore, she has time to go out to inspect her territory, inspecting the King's Landing City, which she has been blood-slaughtered by her at least twice and has also slaughtered a large number of dissidents.

Then, naturally, when she went out, she met a little guy who had just woken up at noon, so she wandered around and came to the new church in King's Landing.

"Eh? Pray, worship?"

∑(′△)?!

"No!"

"Hmph! I won't pray to these guys. What's so great about them?"

o(′^)o boring!

What messy seven gods are just some extraordinary beings in this world who steal faith and survive? Such things are far worse than the wild demigods in the Azeroth world. How could Queen Anne go to pray and worship to those guys casually?

In fact, they were almost the same for praying to her Queen Anne!

However, if you think about it, you will find that it is a little too troublesome, so she is a villain who doesn’t care about them a lot! Because Queen Anne doesn’t like others to pray to her, nor does she like to gain any beliefs from others, so she doesn’t want to fiddle with those strange religions!

Just like in that Caribbean world, Anne could even now feel the inexplicable sense of weak connection in the endless plane world... Those witches who have not learned much of their real skills do not want to practice hard on their own, and they even know that they pray randomly about the statue with her name Queen Anne written on it. They are really stupid guys...

Anyway, Anne wouldn't tell them: she didn't attach strange things like her thoughts or divinity to those statues at all, so... no matter how they pray and worship, they are useless. She will definitely not gain those faiths, nor will she respond to any of their requests!

In short, she is different from those gods in the ordinary world. Her own power comes from herself and she does not need to rely on anything extra.

“…”

“…”

Although the bishops, monks and nuns present heard the little girl's open blasphemy in the church, none of them dared to stand up and refute, they just bowed their heads and didn't know what they were thinking.

Even the "archbishop" who had just been appointed by Cersei only raised his head and looked at the little girl with a rough attitude, then looked at the arrogant queen and the queen guard Robert Sturs, who was like an iron tower behind each other, and then he continued to lower his eyebrows and pretended that nothing had happened.

Although he also felt that it was not good to say such blasphemy in the Holy Land Church, he did not dare to express it in the slightest. Because all the members of the sect who dared to disobey and violate the will of Queen Cersei are now dead!

Those people were either hung on the cross of the King's wall or rotten in a ditch in the sewer...

"Oh!"

"Annie, you're right. What's so great about the Seven Gods?"

Hearing the little girl's words, Cersei also smiled, then continued to raise her head, and looked arrogantly at the statue of the god that had just been painted on the wall, and couldn't help but snort coldly again.

These statues of gods are destined to be just some portraits and tools she used to fool the common people. If they are useful, Cersei will naturally continue to offer them, and if they are useless or hinder themselves, then she will burn them again when she says she doesn't get it?

It's like the "Belle Church". She blew up the headquarters of the Seven Gods Cult, killing countless monks, bishops and nuns, and countless believers. Later, she even hunted and killed the remnants. What can the so-called Seven Gods do to herself?

Now she is the ruler of the ruler here, the guardian of the entire territory of the monarch of the seven kingdoms, the queen of the Andals and ancestors! Therefore, even the Seven Gods Cult must serve her own rule. Once the previous attempts to judge herself, humiliate herself or interfere with the royal family, perhaps she will directly order the complete destruction of this sect and let its missionary activities on this Westeros continent be completely end and extinct!

This kind of thing is not a threat, it can be done easily.

“…”

Still looking up at the portrait of the Seven Gods on the wall arrogantly, Cersei really had no awe or gratitude in her heart at this moment. On the contrary, all she had in her heart was endless hatred and sneer!

Queen Cersei no longer believes in the Seven Gods. She can now order the destruction of this sect at any time, so that there will be no more churches on the entire Westeros continent, and even burn all their religions and books, kill all monks and nuns, destroy this countless churches that have been brilliant on the Westeros continent, and completely disappear...

Yes, she can do that, and she will do that, if necessary?

"Ah?!"

゛('◇')?

Just as she felt that the empty church was too boring, little Annie, who was about to leave, suddenly exclaimed and turned around in confusion, and looked at the old bishop who had been lowering his eyebrows and gladly looking at the eyes of some curiosity and surprise.

Originally, the other party had been there honestly, a very normal old man, and looked very timid and cowardly, but now... the other party actually raised his head suddenly and dared to look straight at Aunt Cersei and Anne himself with a strange look?

“!?”

Obviously, Cersei seemed to have discovered something wrong at this time.

However, when she saw the "archbishop" who looked calm and walked towards her empty-handed, she didn't think too much. She thought the other party had something to say to her, so she just stood calmly and looked at the other party leisurely, intending to listen to what the bishop who was promoted to fool the people by herself wanted to say to her.

“Hmm?!”

Soon, when he saw that the other party did not step forward as he imagined, and stopped to talk to him, but continued to move forward with a calm face and no joy or sorrow, Cersei found that the situation was not right even if he was slow.

Therefore, she took a slightly back half a step, and said nothing more. The Sir Robert Sturs behind her automatically stepped forward a few steps, and pressed the long sword around her waist, stood in front of her, and with the cruel and bloodthirsty red eyes hidden behind the heavy armored helmet of the Royal Guard, staring fiercely at the new bishop who was walking forward step by step.

"Bibetan, say it quickly if you have something to do! Otherwise, please step down immediately!!"

No matter why the other party suddenly behaves abnormally, Cersei never wants to be so close to such a church member! In fact, she will not let the other party get closer to her within three steps!

After all, she was not very friendly with the church of the Seven Gods. Who knows if the other party suddenly became unhappy and was not good for her? Now, apart from the beautiful body of power, Cersei actually has not much.

But no matter what, if the other party cannot give himself a reasonable statement or reply that satisfies himself later, based on the other party's hostile behavior today, his position as bishop will definitely be replaced!

Even that guy, the monks and nuns in this church, is likely to be re-interrogated?

In short, Cersei still remembers the lessons of the giant sparrow at that time. She will definitely not let that happen to her anymore. She will maintain absolute majesty in front of these church members. Anyone who dares to touch the yellow line in her heart will die!

Dong! Dong!

Hearing the cold words of Queen Cersei behind him, Sir Robert Strongs took two steps forward again, and after the heavy plate armor made two loud frictions and the metal plate armor boots hit the rock floor, he looked down at the old bishop of the church who had to stop three steps away from him.

“…”

Surprisingly, what made Cersei Lannister himself and Sir Robert Sturs beside him confused was that the archbishop with no expression on his face did not seem to want to be against her, but after looking at them, he turned to the little girl on the other side?
To be continued...
