Chapter 375: High Priest (II)
"It's not hard to get you out of Dragonstone, and although I haven't been with the Queen for long, I've been trusted and relied upon. "But the difficulty is how to get the misunderstanding and the prophecy fulfilled." The Lord of Light has made it impossible for me to see Daenerys Targaryen and the Night's Watch Commander-in-Chief at the same time in the fire for no reason, and if the two become strangers or even enemies because of this stupid misunderstanding, it will have a terrible effect on this crucial battle between our Lord and my old enemy. ”
Melisandre didn't answer immediately.
That's right, what Machiro had just said was another theory that was universally accepted among the high priests—it all started with the way the Red God's followers received the oracle of Rahlo from the fire. The message that the Lord of Light conveys to his followers through the flames is divided into three main categories: the first is the most common, helping believers understand the truth or prepare for the danger that will occur by showing what has happened or is happening in the flames, while the second is a strong foreshadowing or reminder, which is usually vague and abstract, and needs to be interpreted by the person who sees it himself—the most typical example: Melisandre sees Dragonstone in the flames, so she travels to Westeros, sees a wall of ice, and goes to the grant.
The third is the most peculiar, the clear and clear picture that shows what has not happened and is the source of all prophecies.
Unlike the usual proclamation to the common believers that "the future is revealed in the flames," the high priests actually knew in their hearts that if the person who saw the future did nothing, a considerable part of it would not happen. This means that the future they see in the flames is most likely not a "true future", but "a future that the Lord of Light hopes or needs to happen", and Rahlo sends a message to the believers by means of a message from the flames, reminding them to use their wisdom and initiative to make it a reality!
Melisandre saw the dragon spewing flames and scorching the ghouls in the flames, which at least meant that Lahlo hoped that the dragon would play a role in the final battle, but there was a further possibility that he was reminding himself that the Night's Watch and the North could not win this battle without the dragons!
......
After figuring it out, she nodded and realized that it was indeed much more than escaping Dragonstone: "Think about it carefully, is there any way to save the scene?"
"Really. Marchiro turned his head to look at Melisandre, "Your commander-in-chief gave the queen a gift today, what the hell is that?"
"Aren't you there, a pamphlet. I asked him what was inside when I was on the boat, and he showed me a look...... The content is very strange, a bunch of pompous empty talk and big talk, which seems to be related to politics, which is completely outside the scope of my knowledge...... How?"
The queen was in a bad mood at the end of the meeting, and when she returned to the conference room, the two thinkers continued to argue about the next move of the army, while she sat by and turned over the little gift with a calm face. At first I thought she would tear it up or throw it into the stove in the next second, but it was quite different—at a glance, her anger was almost half gone, and the queen spent the whole time until the end of the dinner reading the pamphlet, leaving aside all the staff in the heat of the quarrel. "Finally, when the queen raised her head again, she asked me why her most powerful followers refused to recognize her legitimacy. ”
"It's funny, I really don't see the magic of that hastily written booklet. How do you answer?"
"I can't guess what the queen reads from it, but I can see that she is deliberately suppressed to see the hunt. So my answer is - 'Aren't your most powerful followers in your hands'. ”
Clever answer. "The priest would use vague phrases and expressions when interpreting prophecies to outsiders, just to remedy such a rollover situation," so that the booklet was her 'most powerful follower,' and you did not deceive the queen or misjudge. ”
"It's been fooled for the time being, but Daenerys is not stupid, and things have to be solved after all. The queen then asked two of her intellectuals about the provenance and full version of the book, which Varys dismissed as an 'empty and unrealistic fantasy', while Berish did not comment...... Of course, the two agreed on one thing: they had never read or heard of the book. So, the queen will surely ask tomorrow, I'll come to breathe tonight, where did the contents of that booklet come from?"
"It was written by the Commander-in-Chief on the ship on the road to Dragonstone Island in the East China Sea, and Varys and Berishi are among the most knowledgeable and knowledgeable of ordinary people, and if they haven't heard of it, I haven't seen it......"
"Could it be that he wrote it, how could it be possible to write a book in a few days?, and more interestingly, the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, where did he have the knowledge to teach a fake queen how to be a monarch?" Macchiro was also curious, but the matter had little to do with the problem at hand, "I have an idea. Go back and speak to your commander-in-chief, and when the Queen asks about the booklet, she replies that the original version of the book is in the library of the Night's Watch, but because of its decay and decay, it cannot withstand long haul and can only be read in the field. ”
"Why do you answer that?"
"Create alone time for them, and I can see that the commander-in-chief is not a clumsy man, and that he can handle everything himself if he has the opportunity......"
Melisandre snorted in contempt, "The Dragon Queen is indeed stunningly beautiful, but Egger West is not a lustful person, and you must think too much of him." ”
"You're a woman, and you don't appreciate the magical attraction of Daenerys. Macchiro bared his teeth, his dark skin matched with the night, making him smile as if a piece of white jade suddenly appeared in the night, "This attraction ignores whether the will and orientation are normal or not, and acts directly into the depths of the body and subconscious, for unknown reasons, different men are affected by this attraction to varying degrees, but it is certain that as long as it is a normal man, it will be affected by it." ”
"You're also a man, and you're also affected by this attraction?"
"Yes, fortunately, I am the least affected kind of physique, although I can feel it, but the old man is one, and he has no power to have a heart. Marchiro shrugged, "And from what I've seen during the day, the Commander-in-Chief seems to be the most affected. As long as there are enough contacts and time together, he will definitely be hopelessly infatuated with the queen, and it is not a matter of taking it lightly, just like no one can kill themselves by holding their breath...... People can't fight against instinct. ”
Just as it is impossible for a two-dimensional creature to understand a three-dimensional being, Melisandre as a woman cannot understand this attraction through her imagination. But just as Macchiro trusted her, she did not doubt the other party: "If it can be realized, it will be a plan, Dragon Stone Island is thousands of miles away from the land grant, and the land in the middle is full of the queen's enemies...... If she wanted to go to the Night's Watch territory to find the full version of the book, she would have to ride a dragon to it, as soon as the dragon reached the Wall...... The prophecy has been fulfilled for the most part!"
"So, the basic direction is set, and let's go through the details and see what else is missing. ”
Melisandre nodded in agreement, and then found a big loophole without much effort: "Wait, since it has been determined that the Night's Watch will not be able to accept the Queen's terms, will the Queen let him refuse her again when she comes to ask Egg for an answer tomorrow morning?"
"Oh, shit...... Forget that. Marchiro patted his round belly, pondered for a while, and shook his head decisively, "That's impossible, Daenerys is kind and has a good temper, but if you want to force her to be rejected in person and humiliated by not being able to come to the stage again for no reason, it is meaningless, and it is not conducive to them seeing each other again in the future." It seems that the two of us had better negotiate everything tonight on behalf of our respective sons of prophecy, and leave their reunion to the Great Wall. ”
