Chapter 58: The Light Messenger (Part )
For the third time, Azor Ahai, with unwavering faith and determination, spent a full hundred days and nights devoted to the sword-making business. Every hammer and every blow contained his desire for victory and his expectations for the future. When the work was completed, he carefully held up the long sword that condensed countless efforts and felt the fiery breath it exuded.
At this moment, Azor Ahai called his beloved wife, Nissa Isha. Looking at the woman who had accompanied him through all the ups and downs, he felt extremely heavy and complicated. Then, without hesitation, he stabbed the sword, which was still warm and still emitting wisps of green smoke, into Nissa Isha's open chest - the heart that was still beating!
And all of Nisa Isa's blood, soul, strength, and courage were poured into the sword, and Azor Ahai finally forged the hero's sword - Lightbringer.
There is no historical documentation on how Azor Ahai, the Lightbringer, defeated the minions of the evil god and successfully dispelled the darkness and the bitter winter. The only clue is found in an ancient book called "The Jade Sea Overview", which simply mentions that when the hero plunged the sword into the monster's body, the enemy would begin to burn.
In addition, there is another ancient book from the Asshai region 5,000 years ago that also made a prophecy: the Lord of Light will rebirth Azor Ahai and send him to the world as his own people to benefit the people. All this will happen after the long summer ends and darkness covers the earth again. The man called "Prince" will once again awaken the power of the Lightbringer and start a life-and-death battle with the evil and terrifying White Walkers; however, if he is unfortunately defeated, it means that the whole world will fall into an irreversible desperate situation.
The high priests of the Church of R'hllor always believed in this prophecy and tried to interpret the deep meaning in it through their own methods. They obtained all kinds of mysterious information from the flames and used it as a basis to search for the real Azor Ahai in their hearts all over the world.
In his early years, Moqorro, a senior priest of the Church of R'hllor, heard that Aerys II had a special liking for fire. So he carefully planned to send Thoros from Myr to sneak into King's Landing to spread R'hllor's teachings everywhere, trying to win over this man who loves fire to the church.
At the same time, Bennero, the supreme priest of the Red Temple in Volantis, learned that Daenerys Targaryen had been miraculously reborn after the baptism of fire and successfully hatched a dragon. Bennero firmly believed that Daenerys Targaryen was the "Son of Fire" mentioned in the prophecy. For this reason, he sent a large number of clergy to Meereen and vigorously promoted her heroic deeds in Volantis.
However, Melisandre, who belongs to the Asshai faction, always believes that the reincarnation of Azor Ahai is hiding in Westeros. And Stannis, who has the blood of the king, is the best choice in her mind. Therefore, she spared no effort to support Stannis's cause. This firm belief even became stronger after the appearance of the White Walkers in the north, making her more certain that Stannis is the legendary son of light. In the end, she successfully persuaded Stannis and his army to follow her and tricked them to the Wall.
However, what confused and distressed Melisandre was that she saw Jon Stark fighting fiercely with the White Walkers in the flames recently. She was a little unsure and decided to observe for a while.
Jon frowned and asked, "Then what do you need me to do?" He knew very well that the person in front of him would not say these words to him for no reason.
Stannis stared at Jon and said slowly, "There are indeed some things that require your assistance. I hope you can persuade your brother Robb to stand on my side and support me in regaining the throne."
Jon shook his head and answered firmly, "Robb? He is sending troops to besiege the Dreadfort, intending to wipe out the Boltons in this cold winter. Besides, I believe that the Iron Throne is no longer able to command the North to submit, not to mention your current situation, Your Majesty, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to convince him."
Stannis's face darkened, and he declared solemnly: "I am the true king. What he is doing is treason."
Jon did not flinch. "I'm sorry, but the North has been an independent kingdom for thousands of years. It was the power of dragons that forced it to submit. With all due respect, you have no dragons to rely on, and no army to back you up. What do you have to ensure the legitimacy of your rule?"
Stannis took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then continued, "Would you be willing to help me persuade Mance Rayder? I have heard that you have had some dealings with each other before, and perhaps you would be more confident in persuading him."
Jon was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, agreeing to give it a try. But at the same time, he said frankly: "I will do my best, but I can't make any promises. You should have noticed that it is not easy to make these wild men, called free people, kneel down."
Stannis nodded slightly, showing that he understood Jon's difficulties. He then revealed: "Commander Jon, according to the information I got from other wildlings, there are still about 100,000 wildlings. If we can bring such a large force under our command, it will be of great benefit to us."
Hearing this number, Jon could not help but frown and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, forgive me for asking, if you really succeed in subduing these 100,000 wildlings outside the Wall, where do you plan to place them? As far as I know, Dragonstone is limited in area and does not have enough space to accommodate such a large population."
Stannis glanced at his King's Hand and Davos, who was sitting below. Davos' heart tightened, and he quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, when I came here, I saw a large island far away on the sea outside the Bay of Seals. In my opinion, we can settle these wildlings on that island."
Hearing this, Jon stood up from his seat abruptly, staring at Stannis and Davos, and said in a serious tone: "Are you talking about Skagos Island? This is absolutely impossible! That island was long ago granted to our teacher by Robb Stark. It is now his fiefdom and a staunch ally of the Night's Watch. More than half of the members of the legion and most of the supplies come from here."
Stannis and Davos looked at each other, both of them looked very unhappy. After all, they had been huddled in Dragonstone in recent years and knew very little about the outside world. After a moment of silence, Davos was the first to ask Jon, "I'm very sorry, Commander, we really didn't know about this before. Could you please tell me who is the current lord of Skagos Island? Maybe we can try to negotiate with him."
Speaking of his teacher, Jon felt a surge of pride in his heart. He said excitedly, "The Lord of Skagos Island is the one that many of our brothers and sisters admire and follow—Marquis Garon Morningstar!"
At this moment, Stannis and Davos's faces became more gloomy and ugly. After looking at each other, they saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes. Obviously, this Lord Garon Morningstar was a person they could not afford to offend.
