The injured Melisandre and Xiaolu stayed at Riverrun for a few days, and then set off back to Winterfell with the remains of soldier the North and Mrs. Catelyn.

"Blackfish"Brynden was very dissatisfied with Melisandre's attitude. He wanted to keep them by force and asked King in the North to send another envoy.

Although House Tully is still loyal to King in the North, Luke·Stark and House Tully are not related by blood relationship, this made Brynden, the actual person in power of House Tully, feel grudge and did not trust the new king Luke·Stark.

It was Edmure who overcame all objections and used his status as a duke to exert pressure, which allowed Melisandre and others to leave Riverrun smoothly.

The process was not pleasant, but fortunately the ending was good.

After two fire walls to clear the way, Melisandre left the city this time, and the troops outside the city did not stop him.

The coalition forces besieging the city took the initiative to make way for Melisandre and others to leave.

When the coalition commander Daven·Lannister saw this, he was furious and ordered the archers to shoot Melisandre and his party to death.

Melisandre used Fire Magic to block. The countless arrows were burned into coke the moment they approached Flame, losing their original lethality.

When Melisandre and others left, Daven·Lannister could only stay in the military camp, unable to rage.

Melisandre and his party went all the way east, followed River Road to a fork in the road, returned to Kingsroad, and turned north.

Nine days later, they arrived at the Riverrun realm.

At this time, Riverrun has been reduced to ruins, and House Frey has turned into the dust of history and ceased to exist.

This historic castle is the only place to pass on the way north, and its tragic end gave all passing caravans a new understanding of the power of Dragon and Magic.

Today, Riverrun is home to a group of rogues. They sometimes intercept Kingsroad and rob civilians and caravans passing by. But they dare not offend Melisandre and his group who are flying the wolf flag, so they can only huddle in the ruins and watch the wolf flag.

However, emergencies happen from time to time.

In the middle of the road ahead, there was a skinny old peasant woman standing inexplicably. She had been standing here for a long time, smiling and motionless, which was very strange.

Melisandre saw the old woman from a distance. She didn't pay attention at first, thinking that the old woman wanted to beg for food. So she took out some dry food and threw it over, and then planned to lead the team to avoid the old farmer.

Unexpectedly, the old woman crushed the food and murmured, "Melisandre, you violated the agreement between Lord of Light and us. On behalf of Seven, I will send you divine punishment. Die, you liar."

Countless leaves rose rapidly from the ground and hovered in the mid-air. The dense brown dead leaves quickly covered the bright sky. They were like tens of thousands of knives, shooting at Melisandre and the group of people.

Melisandre spoke very quickly, "Merciful Supreme God, please grant me the supreme power to resist foreign enemies! In the holy name of the Lord, Gary!"

A Flame barrier stood in front of Melisandre and the others, burning all the fallen leaves that were flying towards them.

Just when Melisandre was relaxing, two huge clay hands opened the Flame barrier, and the old woman shouted ferociously, "Primal Stone's power, you despicable thief!"

The blind deer heard these movements and asked hurriedly, "Melisandre, are there any enemies?"

She was riding the same horse as Melisandre. She was lying comfortably on the "soft cushion" with her head leaning on two soft "neck pillows" and taking a nap, but she was suddenly awakened by the scream of the old woman.

Melisandre whispered, "There is a Magic powerful Wizard blocking the road. Her target is me, you go first! If I fail to follow, tell Master God's Messenger that the Seven sect has launched a war against us!"

Without waiting for the deer to answer, she immediately jumped off the horse and handed the reins to the the North soldier aside, "You take the coffin and the deer and go first!"

"Yes! Priest!" Even the the North soldiers who were used to seeing Magic were frightened by the old woman.

Melisandre dispersed the Flame barrier, and a man turned around and ran towards the ruins of Riverrun.

As expected, the old woman ignored Xiaolu and the others. She looked at Melisandre's back and ran after him. Her running speed was completely different from that of an old man, and was even more agile than a young man.

Melisandre watched helplessly as the old woman easily surpassed her and blocked her in front. She silently recited a prayer, and three Flame appeared out of thin air and surrounded her.

She said solemnly, "You are the priest of Seven? Why did you attack me?"

The old woman's trouser legs were bleeding. She didn't know when she was injured. She stretched out her hand and shouted, "Hand it over! Hand it over Primal Stone!"

A powerful force burst out from the old woman's body, and seven pieces of dirt Giants crawled out of the ground and ran towards Melisandre.

The old woman's body seemed unable to support such a huge force. Her skin was cracked and bleeding constantly.

Melisandre was horrified. She had seen similar energy in the dream of "The Lord of the Rings". This was not a simple Mana, it was divine power!

"Are you a god? No, you are the consciousness of a god possessing humans!"

She didn't dare to neglect, and turned on her firepower. The three fireballs instantly expanded several times and hit the soil Giants.

"Bang!"

The three fireballs exploded at the same time, releasing Flame and impact force, blasting two of the soil Giants into mud.

The remaining five soil Giants were also affected by the explosion, but they were slightly farther away. They only staggered and did not suffer any damage.

They adjusted their pace and continued to rush towards Melisandre.

Melisandre prayed loudly. "Supreme Supreme God, please listen to my call and come to me..."

Her eyes slowly turned into gold and green, "... Give me the power to kill gods!"

Gary, who was far away from the North, stopped the hammer in his hand, and Melisandre's prayer seemed to ring in his ears. He didn't know what happened, but he still responded to Melisandre's prayer and released Primal Stone's full authority to her.

With the endless power of the gods coming, Melisandre's body was bearing a huge burden. She vomited a mouthful of blood and struggled to slap her hands burning with flames on the ground.

"Honor the holy name of our Lord, Gary!"

"Boom!"

The ground shook violently, and the surrounding land collapsed. Two huge fire snakes rushed out of the ground, smashing five pieces of soil Giants with just a swing of their tails.

The old woman was extremely angry, "Despicable bitch! Every breath you take is blaspheming Primal Stone, hand it over!"

A huge clay figure that was almost the same as Riverrun rose from the ground, wrapped around the human corpses buried nearby, and let out a rotten roar.

The two huge fire snakes were not afraid at all. One of the fire snakes spit out flames and burned the lower half of the clay figure. The other snake wrapped around the clay figure and bit the clay figure's head and arms.

Melisandre touched the ground with her hands, continuing to provide Mana to the fire snake. Her arms were like an old woman, with chapped skin and bloody flesh.
