Meeting hall.
Edmure sat down first, Melisandre sat on his left side with Xiaolu, and Brynden, who came a step later, sat on the right side of Edmure.
Melisandre took out the necklace and put it on the table, "Your Majesty Duke, has that Wights come to see you again?"
Edmure looked at the necklace, his mind went blank, and he shook his head blankly.
Brynden also heard about this. He frowned and asked, "The Wights that the priest mentioned? Does he mean my niece who came back from the dead?"
Melisandre turned a blind eye to his hostility and corrected him. "Sir Brynden, that thing is not your niece. Catelyn Tully is dead, and someone used Magic to control her body. We are here to take away her remains and return to Winterfell."
Brynden retorted, "Priest, these are all nonsense. Even if Catelyn is really dead, you have no right to take away her remains. Her body will be escorted northward by us personally, or House Stark will send someone here."
Melisandre chuckled. It seems that Sir Brynden chose to believe that Mrs. Catelyn was really resurrected. "Sir Brynden, in fact, I have This right. I not only have the instructions of King in the North, but also the commissions of Arya·Stark and Bran·Stark."
Brynden stood up and asked, "Priest, what evidence do you have to prove that Catelyn is controlled by someone? She and her Brotherhood Without Banners have been secretly helping Riverrun, disrupt the supply line of Lannister for us. If someone is really using her, why not return to Winterfell to fight for the kingship? What are you doing in Riverlands?"
Melisandre kept smiling, "Sir Brynden, she is seeking revenge against Lannister. She sent people to sneak attack Lannister just to vent her anger and has nothing to do with you."
"Where is the evidence?" Brynden stared at Melisandre, the smell of gunpowder in the air getting stronger and stronger.
Melisandre stretched out a finger, and a small flame danced on her fingertips. "Sir Brynden, do you know Magic? Have you seen Wights north of Wall? No, you haven't. So you won't trust me, and we can't communicate with each other."
She dispersed the flames, "Since you want evidence, I will take you now to see Mrs. Catelyn who has come back from the dead."
Edmure, who had not spoken for a long time, shouted, "Now? You... have you found the location of Wights?"
"Well, someone has provided a clue. If Brotherhood Without Banners has not moved their position, then they should still be around there." Melisandre and Brienne communicated about this matter. After inference, they initially located the woods where Brotherhood Without Banners was hiding.
Brynden immediately decided, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Edmure is more inclined to Melisandre, because the appearance of Lady Stoneheart is really terrifying, and does not look like a living person at all. He smiled thoughtfully and said, "Priest, please feel free to go, I will take good care of your child."
"My child?"
Melisandre woke up Xiaolu, who was dozing next to her, and joked, "She is older than me, and I don't dare to overstep her limit."
Edmure and Brynden were both stunned, looking at the small deer in surprise.
The deer rubbed his eyes drowsily, lifted a corner of his hood, revealing his green-skinned face and a pair of big golden eyes, and asked doubtfully, "Are you done talking?"
Because of the height difference between the fawn and humans, and the fact that she always wore a hood and walked with her head lowered, no one could see her true face.
Now seeing the strange appearance of the fawn, Edmure screamed, "What weird thing?!"
Xiaolu glared at him, "What a rude human noble. I am Children of the Forest, I am not some weird thing!"
Edmure thought of the ancient legend, "Children of the Forest... hasn't it become extinct long ago? How could it appear in the North?"
Melisandre moved the wooden chair, "Let's go, let us deal with Wights's matter."
"Oh." Xiaolu followed Melisandre, and the two walked out of the meeting hall together.
Brynden went to arrange the horses, and then met Melisandre at the city gate. He handed the other two horses to Melisandre and Xiaolu, and asked, "Your Excellency, can you perform Magic again? If not, we can only try to take the waterway."
Melisandre mounted the horse and put on his hood, "Sir Brynden, open the door."
After riding for half a day, it was almost dark.
Only then did the three Melisandre arrive at a forest near a valley. According to Brienne's description, this was Brotherhood Without Banners's hiding place.
As soon as the three of them walked into the woods, they were surrounded by a group of fraternity members.
"Who are you?"
Melisandre smiled slightly. It seemed that she had found the right place. She took out the identity certificate Gary gave her and said, "I am the envoy of King in the North. I came here to pay a visit to Mrs. Catelyn."
The members of the Brotherhood are mainly composed of civilians and soldiers. Few of them are literate and cannot understand the identity certificate provided by Melisandre.
But after observing Melisandre's clothing, they determined that he was from a noble family, so they took away his identity certificate and said, "Get off your horse and follow us."
Under their guidance, the three Melisandre walked through dense forests and caves, and met Lady Stoneheart near a hidden mountain stream.
Lady Stoneheart looked at Melisandre's identity certificate, snorted disdainfully, and threw the certificate into the fire. She covered her broken neck with her hands, "My son Robb is King in the North, Luke·Snow is just an illegitimate son, he took away the throne of Bran."
Melisandre and Xiaolu didn't speak. They observed Lady Stoneheart's appearance by the firelight.
Brynden was also frightened. One person's throat was broken in two, which meant she couldn't eat or drink...
No, this is not the point! If the throat is slit, ordinary people will definitely die!
He called out, "Catelyn?"
Lady Stoneheart looked at Brynden expressionlessly and said coldly, "Sir Brynden, Catelyn Tully is dead. I am the soul of Stark, Lady Stoneheart."
Melisandre saw a familiar face next to Lady Stoneheart, "Thoros, was it you who resurrected Catelyn Tully?"
Thoros is familiar with Melisandre. He is Red Priest of Lord of Light. He has resurrected Brotherhood Without Banners's former leader many times, Beric·Dondarrion.
"Melisandre? You have become younger? And your hair... how did you become like this?" Thoros thought at first that he had recognized the wrong person, but he did not expect that the other person was really Melisandre.
Melisandre clasped his hands and said, "I have converted to Supreme God and am now the priest of Supreme God. It is the divine power of Supreme God that gives me new strength."
Thoros was stunned for a moment, then drew his sword, "Are you apostate?"
