Under the strong sunlight in the sky, the ruined city ground emits a twisted aura.

From above, the former capital next to the Hei Shui Bay looks dark, with broken buildings, cracks, scorched earth, and traces of destruction after the outbreak of wildfires.

However, if you observe carefully, you will find that under the creeping appearance, there is a faint vitality hidden in it and gradually rejuvenates new vitality.

One after another, in a simple manner, civilians walked through the ruins of the city's edge and bent down to search.

The elderly, children, women, and black dots spread across the ruins and the city, and everyone is like hardworking workers.

Overall, they are like black ant colonies.

They are picking up scatters.

After King's Landing was burned out by wildfires, although most things were unable to be used again, many items could not be burned, such as metal and money.

It also gives the city the opportunity to be reborn again.

People pick up scattered and wander around. Occasionally, when they find good things, they will burst into excited shouts, and then whether to trade with others or keep them all up.

There was no chaos in this place under the jurisdiction of the sparrows in a short period of time - the main ruler was very large, with relatively few survivors, and there were many secrets for them to search without taking risks and snatching each other.

Their trading location was in Shoemakers Square, which was close to a military camp, and before it was destroyed, it was the main commercial area.

Because the whole body is paved with black stone, it is also an area where wildfires are less damaged and can be used without any effort to organize.

However, the more suitable place is the square in front of the ruins of St. Belle's Church, because it is in the center of the city and it is very convenient to go from anywhere. However, it is occupied by the armed forces of the church, and under normal circumstances, people are not allowed to hang out at will.

It looks domineering, but no one will feel resentful when facing them, because if there were no armed forces of the sect and no one would have been in turmoil here long ago.

The armed forces of the sects were divided into the gathering of the sons of warriors and the poor. They each took on the role of the original knights and soldiers, and managed the entire city under the dispatch of the sparrows, which was similar to the previous nobles.

But unlike before, there is no exploitation here.

The sect armed forces to protect the ruins of King's Landing and welcome foreign civilians to settle here, but oppose any violation of the Seven Star Bible, and the rules and regulations are very strict.

But compared to the exploitation of the former nobles, what are their rules?

In addition, Junlin was a "treasure land" at this time, which attracted many poor people who were homeless due to war.

Under the scheduling of the church's senior management, these people have a clear division of labor. The elderly and children in the family can freely participate in the scavenging of scatters, but the strong men must take on the task of rebuilding the king's land, or join the gathering of the poor to train to protect the place.

Under various measures, Junlin has barely recovered a trace of his former prosperity at this moment.

Picking up scattered, repairing buildings, and cleaning up streets. In this vibrant scene, melodious bells suddenly came from St. Bell Square.

Conversation, cleaning, moving objects, buying and selling items, all the busy people looked in the direction where the bell came.

Then they looked at each other.

"what happened?"

"Don't know."

"If I remember correctly, the Dragon Stone King seems to have started to be crowned."

"Hasn't he been crowned? Why did he come again before the wildfire?"

"Who knows why."

"King? I hate the King..."

People were talking about it, but unconsciously walked in that direction.

...

The Red Fort, which was carefully cleaned up by the soldiers for a while, had barely sorted out an area that was enough for the king to live in.

At this time, Stannis was standing in a hall on the second floor of the Meg Tower where the former king of Red Fort lived, and tidied up his clothes in front of a newly-desolated mirror from the Mill merchant.

The crowned stag, a golden wool robe, and the scarce hair on the head were neatly combed behind the head.

Looking at myself in the mirror, Stannis said inexplicably: "Remember, I was also standing here not long ago, next to him was Bailan, Farin, Pekin Frader, and of course, my annoying Madam Big Ears."

As he said that, he glanced at the bearded middle-aged knight serving bearded by him through the clear mirror.

"Now, you are the only one who is still with me."

"Your Majesty," said Davos, the bearded man, and reached out to hand over a belt and whispered to comfort him: "Madam is just a moment of confusion."

"I was confused for a moment?" Stannis said while tightening his robe with a belt, "She has never woken up before, and dared to instigate my vassal to leave me!"

"And that Melisandra, a religious madman full of lies."

"Burn the statues of the seven gods? Burn people to sacrifice? I would rather be with sparrows than becoming a mad king!"

"The Seven Gods will bless you, Your Majesty." Davos whispered.

"Seven Gods..." Hearing this, Stannis thought of someone for some reason, so he hummed.

"The Seven Gods are great, but sometimes His vision is not very good. But... no matter what, today is my happy day." He said, his cheeks as hard as stones showed a rare smile at this moment.

"The old sparrow can surrender to me, thanks to you." He said, looking at Davos with admiration.

"I am only responsible for passing the message," Davos said modestly: "And the sparrow understands people's hearts, and his majesty is wise and rigorous. No one is more suitable for the position of king than you, and everyone knows this."

"Everyone?" Stannis smiled and refused to say anything about it. "I really hope you are telling the truth."

As he said that, he finally sorted out the collar and then stepped out of the hall.

Davos followed him and walked out of the door, and a team of guards gathered quickly.

When he walked to the lobby on the first floor, there were already a group of well-dressed noble lords waiting here for a long time.

After seeing Stannis appear, they bowed and followed him and headed towards St. Beller Square outside Red Fort—

At present, these people are at least half less than before, because not long ago, Stannis had a falling out with the Red Robe Girl for various reasons. All the so-called back party members followed the Red Robe Girl and left him.

So much so that Stannis's situation was quite desolate at this time.

However, the church's effectiveness made his unstable strength solid again.

And now, under the testimony of the church, he is about to be truly crowned king!

"The church has a far-reaching influence. As long as you get their help, the suspicion of setting up wildfires will be cleaned up directly, and you will become Westeros' only orthodox king." The proposal Davos once said for opposing the woman in the red robe appeared in his heart, and Stannis's pace couldn't help but speed up.

While walking forward, buildings on both sides of the road passed one after another.

Walk out of the Red Fort and walk straight along the streets covered by the shadows of Aegon's hills. St. Beller Square is not too far from the Red Fort. It took about a quarter of an hour before the group arrived here.

In the square, the traces of wildfires are still visible, even if workers have brushed them with water countless times, as if they have left a piece of colorful scars that will never fade after experiencing that disaster.

But this does not affect the glorious mission it carries at this time.

Deep in the square, under the ruins of the former St. Belle Church, a high platform has been faintly built - that is about to be the crowning of Stannis.

The bells of the call rang out in my ears, and I stepped to the innermost part of the square and walked along the steps to the high platform. At this time, a group of monks were already waiting quietly there.

Faced with Stannis' arrival, they bowed and bowed.

Stannis was very helpful to the respect of these sparrows, but the unspeakable king did not say anything, just nodded and looked to the square below.

Under the melodious bell, all the people in the kingdom gradually gathered here, from all directions, and the team was like long snakes, gathering and integrating into the current "pool", unconsciously emitting noises.

There is also a ruined cathedral behind the square and high platform. It is unlikely that the king's crowning is so simple, but at this moment, there is basically no good place for King Landing.

Secondly, this is also the special request of the old sparrow. He said that a truly wise king should wear a crown in front of all his people, rather than hiding in the castle to hold a banquet with the nobles.

Stannis agrees.

So this time he was crowned, he chose the location here.

It seems that it is really a blessing from the gods. The weather is good today. At this time, the sky above our heads is cloudless, and the sun shrouds the earth without any obstacles, illuminating the entire St. Beller Square, making people feel brighter.

People continue to gather, from sparse to dense, and the square gradually becomes dark.

The newly formed poor people's gathering was responsible for maintaining order, and soldiers loyal to Stannis also helped.

At the same time, there were also groups of young figures in simple black robes around the platform. Their foreheads were marked with the black seven-pointed star marks, and heavy black iron chains were wrapped around them. Everyone had a expressionless face and a firm face.

These people were dressed in a simple manner, but they were brave and fearless during the battle. They took the lead in repelling the lords and nobles around them who were greedy to watch the place.

Stannis had considered how to use these people well after becoming a king, but due to the existence of the church and the sparrows, he seemed unable to completely drive them.

"Let's talk about everything after the crowning." Stannis took a deep breath as he thought secretly.

Not long after, the time came. Facing the looking up gazes below, Stannis half-kneeled in front of the statue of the Seven Gods that he had specially moved from the platform at the instructions of the big sparrow.

"Today, under the witness of the gods of heaven, Stannis of the Baratheon family is about to carry a great mission..."

The bald man knelt on the ground, the big sparrow stood beside him, and after a brief opening remark, he lowered his head and asked loudly at him.

"Stannis Baratheon, are you willing to solemnly promise to swear to rule the nations and the peoples of your land, to manage their lands, and to respect their respective laws and customs in their rule?"

"I do."

"Are you willing to do your best to safeguard the laws and justice of the kingdom with kindness?"

"I do."

"Do you..."

...

The square was quite quiet at this time. Everyone looked at the solemn scene on the platform. After constant inquiries, the ceremony gradually came to an end.
To be continued...
