Chapter 492: Thousand Years and Thousands of Years
With his incredible intelligence advantage, he played all his opponents in the palm of his hand, easily pushed through and crushed the Seven Kingdoms, and became the queen's most relied on vassal, the man behind Kalixi. Relying on brainwashing to control the legitimate kings of the Seven Kingdoms, and finally establish a new True Dragon Dynasty under his control......
A large number of fantasies about a better future flooded into his mind in an instant, almost drowning out other thoughts, but at this moment, I don't know if it was an illusion: Egg seemed to vaguely feel the scales buried under the skin on his chest slightly hot, and then the huge amount of lust in his mind was instantly swept to the corner of his mind, and he regained consciousness.
What's going on, could it be that this dragon scale still has the function of dispelling distracting thoughts? Although it is beneficial, it is too broad, right?
Iger was a little confused, but it was obviously not a good time to think, he adjusted the rhythm of his breathing so as not to reveal his heartbeat, and after a moment of hesitation, he decided to be cautious: "Thank you for your willingness to help, but I didn't get any news from Lady Laherlo. So, let me ask one more question: Is she the one who asked you to help me?"
Iger asked directly, casually emphasizing that he had indeed seen Rahlo, in order to deter the Green Prophet from telling nonsense.
If the goddess arranged Bran to help her, then this powerful helper should not be in vain, so naturally there is no need to think about it. What he suspects is that something doesn't seem right with the process.
You know, when Rahlo chose himself as his spokesperson, he not only informed himself through dreams and explained the cause and effect by the way, but also told the believers in the form of fire prophecy to "obediently accept their own commands". By greeting both sides, it completely eliminates any possibility of misunderstanding and poor cooperation due to poor communication, and the possibility of one's spokesperson being doubted or empty by believers.
As an old witch who has lived for thousands of years, she has shown a meticulous and reliable way to match her age, if she has also made arrangements for the Green Prophet to assist herself, why wouldn't she make it clear in her dreams? Is it because she is about to wake up and the time is urgent, so there is an omission, or is it ...... She didn't actually arrange this at all?
"The Vulcan lady did not ask for this, it was entirely my own proposal β out of respect and admiration. The Green Prophet did not dare to talk nonsense, and confirmed Egg's suspicions with a negative answer, "Your Excellency, you only need to nod, and all my abilities can be used by you, and I will not ask for anything in return." β
When he's a child, anyone with a modicum of common sense understands this: "don't get anything in return", most of the time = "want everything"!
Iger snorted disapprovingly, maintaining the indifference of his expression: "What a respectable dedication, Your Excellency the Green Prophet. But I have a question that I hope you can help me with - what kind of thoughts and attitudes did you have in mind when you told Jon about his true background not long ago?"
No one could have expected everything. Jon's kid would actually run to discuss with Egg after learning his true background, which surprised even the powerful Green Prophet...... It is true that he can influence the development of things through subconscious cues, but after all, he cannot directly control the will of others to make people do things that they never want to do, or not to do things that they are eager to do.
The complexity and unpredictability of human behavior is always a difficult problem for transcendents.
The questioner sighed and shook his head unchanged, not shying away from his own experience of overturning: "It was a mistake, the reckless behavior of the part of my soul that belonged to Bran Stark out of love for my brother. If this has caused you distress or trouble, allow me to apologize for 'myself'. β
ingenious and impeccable demolition moves, honestly admitting mistakes, and lightly resolving his own questioning. Egger was extremely unhappy, but he was soon relieved: he was facing a "semi-immortal" with incomparably rich experience and life experience, and it was indeed whimsical to want to make him reveal his flaws or mess with himself through simple words and words.
Realizing that playing tricks on such an old monster would not lead to any results, Iger immediately gave up on the irrelevant sideways and decided to have a meaningful conversation - he wanted to find out the true purpose of the Green Prophet. As long as his demands are not excessive, even if there is a little unpleasantness between them, they can forget about it and cooperate with each other to a limited extent.
......
What the hell do you want? Honestly, if you can believe me, I'll agreeβIger decided to say so. However, at the moment when he began to organize the language in his stomach, covering up and embellishing the question so as not to be too straightforward, a sudden thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
It is good to negotiate frankly and mutually beneficially, to negotiate through deals, but this is the means only chosen by a politician as the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch and the commander of the land grant. And at this moment, in this room, in front of the Green Prophet and the Red-robed Woman, he has another identity: the Chosen One of the Red God, the spokesperson of Rahlo in the world!
Since you know that the backer behind you has unimaginable strength and deterrence, if you don't adapt to your new identity and use this power, but still try to communicate amicably and equally according to your habitual thinking, wouldn't it be self-surrendering and showing weakness? Not only is it a waste of good cards in your hand, but you may even be seen to be in detail, which is extremely stupid!
"Save what bullshit 'respect and admiration', you just have something to hide from me. Iger put aside all his original plans, turned up the arrogance to the highest, and began to play on the spot. He stared at Bran's face, determined to trick him as the spokesperson of the Red God: "I don't want to harass Lady Laherlo with all the, so you'd better take the initiative to tell me what you're hiding, and don't miss any important details - if I find anything wrong, I'll make a note of it and ask her face to face in the next conversation with the Red God!"
Without any clues, the white wolf with empty gloves and a performance to scare others, as the supreme leader of the land gift, Iger has not played this trick before-but this time, the target he wants to bluff has become an existence with extraordinary skills-Green Prophet! This is definitely something that Iger would never dare to think of in the past, but at this moment, he decided to take a gamble.
Although he didn't even know what he was trying to cheat, even though he couldn't actually "harass Lady Laherlo" at all, even though his next conversation with his goddess was only theoretically possible...... But to do the drama is to do it as if it were real. The Green Prophet has hundreds of thousands of years of mental and memory age, and the salt he has eaten may really be more than the food he has eaten, the secret in this guy's stomach, just a little trick out, even if it has nothing to do with him, can definitely make his understanding of the true face of the world of ice and fire to a higher level!
Unsurprisingly, in the face of the Chosen One's unkind questioning, Bran Stark's young and immature face showed a vivid innocence and bewilderment...... For a moment, it was as if Egger was overly suspicious and didn't know the good people. But after repressing, instinctively, and staring indifferently for half a minute, the silence finally showed its lethality to those who had ghosts in their hearts, and after taking a long breath, the Green Prophet turned his head to look at the third person in the room, the red-robed woman, as if he had made some great determination.
"I ask your followers to leave, and what follows, I want to say to just one person. β
"No, she's not leaving. Iger didn't hesitate to refuse. Now that he has successfully forced the Green Prophet to make the first concession by relying on Rahlo's terrifying deterrence, the next thing to do is to strike while the iron is hot and chase it to the end, "Melisandre, everything Your Excellency Green Prophet says next, only the three of us can know about it, and we must not mention half a word to anyone else, this is an order." β
The red-robed woman, who had been staring at the "heresy" from beginning to end, turned her head and nodded lightly: "As you wish." β
So there were still three people in the room, and Bran, whose request was refused, was still expressionless, but his indifferent expression was no longer completely still, but slightly undulating, and the movement of his facial muscles swirled under his skin like dynamic ripples...... Then, for the first time, the dead face that the new Green Prophet had maintained since his return from the outside of the fortress - centered between his eyebrows, diffused to reveal a clearly discernible fire.
What, is it too forced, this guy is going to do it if he doesn't agree with him?
Seeing the anger on the boy's distorted face, Egg, who didn't know what was happening, opened his eyes wide and was ready to roll to dodge the attack, and the red-robed woman, who had always been vigilant, also gathered the magic power inside and outside her body for the first time, ready to protect the Chosen One and eliminate heretics.
But the imaginary turn-overs and scuffles didn't happen, and the resentment and resentment on Bran Stark's young face, which didn't match his biological age at all, weren't directed at Egger - with this expression, he tried his best to suppress his voice and roared: "A thousand years after a thousand years, a thousand years after a thousand years, I just want Miss Vulcan to give a letter, when will this end?"
