Chapter 481 Armed Forces of the Order

Samwell looked at the archbishop in rough clothes in front of him, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually widened:

"Master Archbishop, why are you dressed like this? Where's your crystal crown and gold silk gown?" Please visit fr𝐞𝐞w𝒏.π’Έπ‘œπ”ͺ website to read fastest update

"It's all sold," said the archbishop. "The poor people are still hungry. I have no right to wear gold and crystals on my head, so I sold them. I also sold other crowns and rings in the storeroom. , tapestry, and all the finery."

"It can be seen." Samwell glanced at a group of archbishops who were also dressed in simple clothes, and some thoughts turned in his mind.

"The Seven Gods created sheep, and the wool is enough to keep humans warm." The Archbishop said, "Your Majesty, what are you doing in the Cathedral of Baylor this time?"

"I want to pray to the gods." Sam Will said.

"Follow me, please." The archbishop handed over the brush in his hand to the archbishops, and then led Samwell through the double wooden doors to the main hall.

The sound of footsteps echoed on the marble floor, colorful lights slanted in from the glass windows, and countless dust danced in the light beams.

The hall was filled with the smell of incense, and the candles in front of the seven altars shone like sparks.

Samwell came to the statue of the Father, knelt down and bowed his head in prayer.

The seven white knights also knelt behind him, and only the archbishop stood.

After the prayer, Samwell stood up again, and saw that the archbishop looked at him with a softer gaze.

"Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, you have not yet accepted the coronation."

Samwell pointed to the ruby ??tile-steel crown above his head:

"When I was on Blood Reef Island, I put on this crown for myself, so naturally I don't need others to crown me."

"At that time, you were the Storm King, but if you want to become the king of the Seven Kingdoms, I'm afraid you need the approval of the Seven Gods."

Samwell smiled slightly and said;

"Did Aegon the Conqueror be crowned by the Archbishop in Oldtown? No, he didn't. His crown came from the sword in his hand, the dragon at his feet, and the army behind him. Not the gods."

The archbishop's face darkened again:

"Your Majesty, what you said is disrespectful to God."

"I admire the Seven Gods." Sam Wells said, "The Conquistador accepted the Archbishop to personally apply the Seven Holy Oils on his forehead. Three hundred years later, I can do the same. This is my concession."

The archbishop was silent for a moment, and said:

"I can anoint you with holy oil, Your Majesty. However, you need to repay the Iron Throne's debt to the church first."

The common feature of the members of these two military organizations is that they are extremely fanatical about the belief in the Seven Gods, and they swear allegiance to the Archbishop.

The armed forces of the religious order in history have caused great troubles to the nobles and the royal family, and they are also a big killer used by the Church of the Seven Gods to suppress the nobles.

But Maegor I Targaryen set off a war between the royal family and the church. The king suppressed the church's armed forces with **** and cruel methods, and set a golden dragon for the head of each warrior's son and the scalp of each poor assembly member. And a reward for a silver deer.

Although the religious order was indeed banned by the royal family in the end, Maegor did not win the war.

He only got the name of "cruel", and the fate of betrayal, and finally died on the Iron Throne.

It can be said that without the Knights of the Holy Sword and the Knights of the Stars, the Church of the Seven Gods would be a toothless tiger.

But if there is...

The smile on Samwell's face grew brighter.

The archbishop thought that the king agreed to his proposal.

But Ser Barristan, who had been with the king these days, knew that when Caesar smiled like that, something bad happened to someone.

"Can."

Hearing that the king agreed with his plan, the archbishop couldn't hide his joy, and his old face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile:

"Blessed by the seven gods. The rebirth of the armed forces of the sect has answered our three hundred years of prayers day and night. Your Majesty, you are indeed the true king blessed by the gods! I will bathe and fast, and pray in the church for seven days and seven nights , and anoint you with my own hands..."

"No, you fast overnight and anoint me tomorrow morning." Samwell had no time to waste on such boring rituals.

The archbishop frowned, but nodded under the king's firm gaze:

"Okay, do as you say."

Subsequently, the archbishop personally sent the king and his party out of the Baylor Cathedral.

When walking down the hills of Visenia, Sir Brynden Tully couldn't help but said:

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not a good idea for you to restart the religious order's armed forces at this time."

Samwell looked back at the white knight, smiled and asked:

"Give a child a sharp sword, what will happen?"

Brynden thought thoughtfully:

"Cut yourself?"

Samwell smiled, did not continue this question, and instead said:

"Get Gavin Mander to meet me."
