Chapter 491: The Might of the Red God (Part II)

The moment he saw Bran from afar, Iger realized that his previous worries were all mediocrity.

The two High Priests and the Green Prophet lived in the same dormitory area in the Inner Fort of Houguan Town, a stone's throw from Egg's office and residence. Melisandre and Marchiro are both strong and able-bodied, while Bran is half-paralyzed and can only be pushed by people. With such a limited mobility, the green prophet in a wheelchair can still arrive at the office building and wait in about ten minutes after going to the stables by himself......

After some careful calculations in his mind, Egg came to the conclusion that Bran had definitely sensed Rahlo's breath along with the two Red God Priests, and had also set out from his residence to the source of the miracle as soon as possible, maybe even earlier!

This seemingly inconspicuous detail, with a little analysis, can be quite intriguing.

Since Ta returned from the outside of the fortress and successfully promoted from a little kid to the "Green Prophet", everyone in the whole world, including Iger himself, has only visited Bran's residence and asked for him, and there is no example of him coming in a wheelchair. For a prophet with limited mobility and miraculous abilities, it was reasonable and acceptable to all—but under such a premise, he had gone to great lengths to ask someone to push him to see him, which was particularly unusual in comparison.

The change in the mode of meeting from "waiting for someone to meet" to "taking the initiative to find" has a hint of weakness at the subconscious level, and this change also happened to happen at this special moment, except for being frightened by Rahlo's appearance, and deliberately coming to show friendship and declare that he is not an enemy, there is no other possibility!

Egger, once again, through the reactions of others, has a new understanding of the abilities of the boss on his head.

The power of the red god is really terrifying, strong to the point of unreasonableness.

......

I'm so stupid, really, Iger said secretly in his heart. An existence that can scare the cold god back into her nest just by "arriving at the battlefield" without even making a move, she was worried about whether she could shock a little green prophet a moment ago?

Self-deprecating to self-deprecating, he still took a deep breath in a good mood, straightened his coat to make sure the golden scales on his chest were covered, and walked towards the wheelchair prophet waiting in the cold wind.

"Your Excellency. ”

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief. ”

The sturdy female landdonor who pushed the wheelchair and the black-clothed Bran in the wheelchair greeted him successively, although he was still unable to stand up due to the disability of the lower body, but the second son of the Stark family looked ruddy and full of energy at the moment, how could he have the appearance of "wilting due to excessive energy consumption in the battle with the stranger"?

Iger had guessed that he was pretending to be dead to reduce his presence, but now it seems that this is the case, if it weren't for Rahlo's appearance to stir up the situation, I don't know what he was quietly planning!

Bran seemed to be unaware of his boss's displeasure, and after greeting him, he simply continued: "I have important information to report to my lordship, I wonder if you can spare a little time to talk to me in detail?"

Seeing the boy's solemn face, Egger also put away his smile, and nodded after a little thought: "Well, it's not here, let's go into the house and talk." ”

After all, it was inconvenient to carry a wheelchair up and down the stairs, so Iger chose to meet the Green Prophet in the large conference room downstairs. The landsmaid pushed Bran into the house and left, and Egger ordered the guards to wait outside the house, leaving Melisandre alone—even though the Green Prophet did not dare to do anything to his own Lahlo voters, Iger was unwilling to entrust everything to his intuition. After all, he could never know if the scales given by Rahlo would be a powerful artifact or an extremely nourishing heavenly treasure that could make them crave it for the low-level primordial transcendents of the Ice and Fire World.

The wind whistled outside the walls, but the only sound left inside the room was the breathing of three people. Iger walked up to Bran and looked at him for a few seconds with a playful expression, while the latter sat up straight in his wheelchair and bowed to him with a slight bow.

"In the name of the Green Prophet, greetings to the chosen ones of the Vulcan Lady and may you be well. ”

Although it was a bland greeting, it made the other two people jump in their hearts at the same time.

Egger is happy: this guy, under the divine power of Rahlo, maybe under the oppression of ferocity...... Finally, instead of wearing the disguise of the Stark boy, he began to speak as his other true identity. And what was shocking was that he actually opened his mouth and directly called Lahlo "Lady Vulcan".

Was it something he had just heard in his conversation with the two red-robed priests, or was it ...... Before the second half of the thought came to him, Iger had already realized that he was thinking in the wrong direction: according to the Green Prophet's way of life, "abandoning the old body every tens or hundreds of years, and deceiving a new person to inherit memory and knowledge", his "soul age" or "memory age" is definitely far superior to any living Red God Priest, three hundred years is not a problem at all, and thousands of years are not a myth.

And with that in mind, the answer is obvious: the old immortal didn't need to eavesdrop on his conversation with the two Crimson priests at all—it was highly likely that he had already seen and even dealt with Rahlo's true form to know that she was a lady!

This may seem bad, but it's actually good news.

The Green Prophet's acquaintance with Rahlo certainly means that he can't talk nonsense casually with the shallow capital of "talking to the goddess in a dream", but at the same time, it is also doomed: he doesn't need to use the name of the red god to scare the other party - the green prophet, who has witnessed the apocalypse and is even very likely to have participated in the battle of dawn, knows Rahlo's strength and ruthlessness as well as the cold god, and as long as the goddess's deterrent power is still there, he will never dare to mess with him!

After thinking everything through in three or two seconds, Egerton felt confidence swell up in his chest, he pulled over a chair, and sat down in it with a calm expression, without showing the slightest surprise: "I wish you all the best...... Your Excellency the Green Prophet, as long as your 'everything' does not conflict with mine. He sarcastically said indifferently, regardless of whether the other party heard it or not, "Let's get straight to the point—important information, what is it?"

"Do you want to hear good news or bad news first?"

Egger was the most annoying, and when he heard it, his face darkened. Seeing this, Bran also shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking nonsense: "The good news is that the queen's black dragon has recovered well from its injuries and is out of danger, although there is still some time before it is fully recovered, it is just around the corner to regain the ability to fly." ”

The boy continued without pause: "The bad news is that the small detachment of Unsullied Ones that passed outside the walls of Houguan Town a few days ago has arrived in the Last Fireplace City after a day and night journey. And two of the 'old friends' of the adults, after admonishing the queen, have succeeded in convincing her to put aside the chaotic affairs of the north for the time being, and try to return to the battlefield of King's Landing in the south as soon as possible, and rejoin the battle for the Iron Throne. You'll receive a farewell letter from the Queen in a day or two, so it's time to start thinking about what to do. ”

These two bastards! I really don't want to be a shit-stirring stick at all!

Egger frowned, the look of displeasure on his face even worse...... Both of these are clearly bad news, it's just that the first one is bad enough to be obvious!

As long as the black dragon's injuries do not improve, Daenerys will never leave one of her "children" behind, even if she wants to return to the south. Even if it can't carry people, as long as it can go to the sky, even if the queen returns south with the Unsullied by land or sea, the two dragons are also feasible to accompany them in the sky!

However, this situation was actually expected by Egger.

The queen would be persuaded to agree to return to the south first, not because of the eloquence of Varys and Petyr, but because she, the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, had wasted too much of her time and exhausted all her patience with a blank check.

This information is important, but it is meaningless. For when the queen had finished writing her farewell letter and had packed her belongings and was ready to leave the Night's Watch behind and return to the front of the king's command, she would have led the land-giving army to the walls of the last Hearth, and began to fulfill her promise. And at that point, she would have no reason to leave herself and go south.

......

"yes, I see. Iger collected his thoughts and nodded solemnly, "Is there any other news worth mentioning besides this good and bad?"

"News is born all the time, and I can check out what you want to know about it. Bran tilted his head slightly, tilting his face to look at him, "Whatever the mission that the Vulcan Lady has given to the Commander-in-Chief, I will be happy to serve her chosen one." I now formally introduce myself to you—to accompany you on your upcoming expedition to the south. I assure you: with the help of the Green Vision, both Rahlo's mission and your own personal ambitions can be accomplished or fulfilled with half the effort, I wonder what your Excellency the Chosen One thinks?"

(Isn't that the upcoming southern expedition to be carried out after the recovering of the Ghost Shadow Forest?)

Melisandre realized something, narrowed her eyes, and turned her head to fix her head on Egg's face.

(It turns out that asking for a move in is the main topic, and the so-called good and bad news in front of you are just stepping stones and casting names!)

Egger narrowed his eyes as well, and suddenly understood the Green Prophet's thoughts: this guy, who had indeed done something to hinder his plans in relation to Jon's background, suddenly found himself covered by Rahlo...... Rather than admitting or explaining, he also chose the clever plan adopted by the deputy commander of Donghai Wang: if the enemy is not good, he will join - directly show loyalty, skip the embarrassing and complicated negotiations, and eliminate the possibility of hostility between each other in one fell swoop!

He raised his head and met the eyes of the red-robed woman who was also looking at him, although the instinctive fear was great, but the heart beat wildly that could not be suppressed.

A transcendent person who can see everything that has happened in the past and in the present where the mortal fish beam exists!

If such an existence is really willing to help, then it is really open and no one can stop it! This is comparable to the pile of half-dragon scales on his chest...... The passive ability that is dispensable, seemingly tempting but not decisive is infinitely more practical!
