Chapter 104 The Trial of the Seven Sons (28)

The Seven Sons Trial is similar to a normal combat trial, but the two parties involved become seven versus seven. Relatively speaking, personal strength becomes less important.

This kind of trial is sacred and cannot be refused easily, but it is not something that only the church can propose. Everyone can ask for it when facing accusations or making accusations, and then organize people to compete with each other.

Of course, this owner does not include civilians.

Kingsguard Raymond Baratheon had a lot of hesitation about this. After hearing this, he did not make an immediate decision, but was going to go back to the inn where he was staying to think about it.

Renly didn't force this, or it would be useless to force him.

If there is really still a year left, then there is actually a lot of room for him to maneuver. But now things have suddenly become very sudden, so he can only use alternative plans——

From passive to active.

In terms of the church, Renly was just a talented new knight. Although he contributed a very important invention, it had nothing to do with his own combat effectiveness.

On the side of Kingsguard Raymond Baratheon, although Renly cannot be regarded as his only ally, he is still a point that can be exploited.

So if the applicant for the Trial of the Seven Sons changes from the church to the Kingsguard, his chances of joining will be much greater, or in other words, Renly is sure to join from him.

But this method is actually not reliable, because if you leave the church behind and go out to "work alone", it is difficult to say whether it will comply with the mission goal.

The mission is to participate in the church's trial of the seven sons of Maegor I in the name of the warrior son and win.

Renly is indeed a warrior's son now, but if the trial was not initiated by the church, would it be considered complete even if it was a victory?

So he had never made this idea before, but now he had no choice but to do it.

But if the church also joins in...

As he kept thinking about this question along the way, he unknowingly came within the confines of the church.

In the dim night, as he stepped onto the square at the top of Rhaenys Hills, the absent-minded Renly suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps. He looked sideways and happened to find an emaciated figure falling to the ground with a thud.

However, under Renly's gaze, this man climbed up without any hesitation and continued running towards him. His messy long black hair was spread out, and he was wearing a white robe. At first glance, he looked like a monster.

But when you get closer, the cheeks exposed by the person behind you appear to be quite friendly.

This person was naturally a mute nun, and Renly recognized him at first sight.

Her nose was a little red, and there was a bloody scratch on her forehead. Now it was slowly bleeding out, but the face that came close to her was always full of smiles. When she came closer, she pulled up the corner of Renly's clothes with one hand and pulled up the other corner of Renly's clothes. With one hand, he handed him a mint leaf.

She seemed to be smiling, but her eyes seemed a little uneasy as she handed Mint forward, as if she was afraid that Renly wouldn't accept it.

This look made Renly a little stunned, and then he vaguely understood something.

Normally, he would teach her how to read in the evening, but today's conversation lasted for a long time, and it was already past the normal time. This person might be a little impatient.

So he reached out and took the mint leaf and stuffed it into his mouth. At the same time, he raised his hand and rubbed the other person's hair, which made Laya's already messy long hair even worse.

However, the little nun did not express dissatisfaction because of this. The smile on the face covered by the messy long hair widened even wider, as if she was trying to please.

This expression was completely different from the initial one when he was provoked and ran away, but it made Renly look quite uncomfortable.

"You should learn to get used to my absence, because sooner or later you will have to live alone."

Muttering, he motioned for Laya to sit on a nearby bench, and he took out the handkerchief and a box of brown-red ointment he carried with him, and began to treat the wound on her forehead.

The anointing oil is called Myr Fire. It is produced in Myr, the craft capital of the Free Trade City. Its effect is to burn, clean and disinfect wounds. Because there will be bumps and bruises during the training, Renly always carries this kind of thing with him. Now Just bring it and use it.

The other party was very honest now, sitting there obediently, letting Renly apply this hot medicinal oil on her forehead. Although her little head moved as a result, she still maintained her sitting posture with her legs together and her hands covering each other on her lower abdomen. Very good.

This was a sitting position that Renly had taught her many times to prevent Raya from touching other people's things while sitting.

Now she looks pretty decent. At first glance, she looks like a little lady. Renly is quite pleased with this.

"But before I leave, I will find you a reliable nun to take care of you. By then you should be able to simply communicate with others through text... No, I should have settled you down before the trial, otherwise, if anything happens It would be bad if I died, and I can't let you stay here. Then Maegor is a madman. He won the trial and still used dragons to kill people. He deserved a bad death later."

He muttered while applying the medicine, as if he was explaining the funeral arrangements.

Raya looked at him blankly, unable to understand.

Seeing this, Renly shook his head. After applying the ointment, he did not leave. Instead, he sat on the chair next to the girl, leaning against her and falling into deep thought.

One of them felt sad and didn't want to speak, the other looked at each other curiously but couldn't speak. The atmosphere was quite peaceful for a while.

The temple building at night is like a dormant monster, and the closed door is like the monster's eyes. It does not move during rest, as if it has been dead for a long time.

Only the sound of insects and the sound of water flowing from the fountain statue in the center of the square are endless, bringing a hypnotic power.

It is midsummer now, and the climate is not cold. Thinking about it, he is a little confused, and the confused Renly fell asleep.

He had a bizarre dream. In the dream, he turned into a powerful knight and killed all sides in the arena. Finally, he awakened the ability of telepathy and became a master of language. But the environment of this dream changed immediately. He seemed to become a mute, and then ran to be a teacher. As a result, after gesturing for a long time, a group of elementary school students in school uniforms below still couldn't understand. He was a little angry and suddenly thought of using a mobile phone, but when he took it out of his pocket, the dream disappeared instantly.

The hazy mind revived and everything in the dream passed away quickly, and finally only a trace of afterglow remained in the heart, but it became more and more blurred. When he opened his eyes, a ray of light bloomed in the sky, proving that a new day had arrived.

The surroundings were quite quiet. Renly, who had regained his consciousness, thought of something, so he turned his head and found that Raya had not left. Now she was sitting on a chair, with her hands folded and her head bowed in prayer, looking very quiet.

Renly had discovered this habit of Raya since the beginning before he really came into contact with her, and he didn't care about it. It was just that he was very patient after waking up, or he didn't want to think about anything serious, so he observed it a few more times, and a discovery made him suddenly startled.

Because he suddenly realized that normal nuns would only pray in front of the corresponding statues or representatives of the Seven Gods, but the direction the girl in front of him was facing was the male sculpture in the center of the square.

Renly was puzzled by this, so when the other party finished praying and looked over, he raised his hand and pointed at the statue, and then drew a question mark on the ground.

This behavior represents asking what this thing is. In the past, Renly taught this to let the other party "ask questions" when facing unfamiliar things, and then he would answer them with some behavior.

Now it is used on Raya in reverse, and she can understand it.

So she picked up the branch and squatted on the ground as if she was ready to write, but after hesitating for a long time, she didn't write a word, and finally looked up at Renly, her eyes full of trouble and confusion.

Renly understood that she didn't know how to express it again, or she hadn't learned the corresponding expression vocabulary.

He was a little disappointed, but he didn't care much, but the other party didn't give up. After sitting back in the chair, she pulled Renly's sleeve and looked at him, mumbling for a long time, and finally grunted out a syllable.

Raya couldn't speak just because she couldn't hear the sound, not because she had no possibility of speaking. In the past contact, this person often made various inexplicable words, some of which sounded like some random babbling, and some of which seemed to match the common language vaguely.

Renly guessed that it might be that Raya imitated the mouth movements of others when they spoke. Usually, such imitations are difficult to recognize, but today it sounded different.

Compared with the usual blurriness, it can't be said to be extremely clear, but it can still be understood.

Because of this, Renly was a little stunned.

Because this syllable means father in the common language.
