After spending half a month in the same castle as Varys and Petyr, Iger had a deep understanding of how to spend time with these two-stirring sticks, witness them firsthand, and even participate in their schemes...... It's a completely different feeling from looking down at them from a book or screen across a dimension before they travel back.

As Varys, as an enemy, began to notice his presence, and his former ally Littlefinger realized that his "little brother" was not well-behaved - although he still had a heavy army in Winterfell on the surface, but without being able to take advantage of this advantage, Iger was actually in the most dangerous political environment of the enemy!

It was only at this moment that Iger finally understood: why the road to power in ancient and modern China and foreign powers must be accompanied by the "eradication of dissidents".

Because you never know if the adversaries are plotting something, when they are going to start acting, and what they will do with themselves if they succeed...... In the case of opposing positions and different interests, this suspicion can never be diluted over time or eliminated through communication, but will only become deeper and more serious.

If you don't want to drag the weight of the chain of suspicion forward, then there is actually only one and only one doomed ending.

In the plays, in the history books, Iger has seen too many examples of characters who are as smart or even more powerful than himself, just because of a mistake or a half-step difference. It is precisely because of the many and heavy lessons that we know and know that we are more cowardly than ordinary people.

It was this kind of instigation that prompted Egger to rush to arrange an action that even he felt hastily after a sleepless night—to deal with an extraordinary enemy, he had to use extraordinary means. He wants to use this incredible preemptive strike to eliminate all factors that will hinder his influence and control over the queen.

And the reason why he counted Petyr, who was not yet in contradiction, was also counted into it: first, he had already expressed his murderous intent to him, but if something happened to Varys, Littlefinger would definitely know that it was his hand, and the second reason was even simpler-Egger didn't want to be the lackey who was cooked after killing the cunning rabbit, and since he didn't want to bother dealing with the former allies who lost their unity because of the loss of a common enemy after dealing with the eunuchs, the best way was to serve it in a pot.

Since it has been boasted of "once and for all", it is natural to carry it out to the end!

＊＊＊

There are many tests to be a complete success of this amazing adventure, but two of the most critical and difficult are the ones.

The first of these is "How to get Varys and Petyr to drink poisoned wine while they are on guard", and he has succeeded with a series of confusing and frightening maneuvers, which need no further elaboration.

And the second is how to make sure that Daenerys's trust and respect for her will not be cracked because of this.

To achieve the latter goal, he made a series of elaborate arrangements, which can be roughly divided into three steps.

The first step is to keep all the evidence out of your mind.

The many set-ups in the dining room at the scene of the crime create a scene of fakeness, and the vomit that spits on the floor after rushing out the door becomes a mountain of evidence, and the guards of the Unsullied by Varys and Petyr are excellent witnesses who can not only explain that they survived because they took measures to save themselves, but also vouch for the fact that no one has entered the scene since the incident and that no one has tampered with the vomit.

Instead of protecting Varys and Petyr during their lifetimes, the Unsullied became the tools and greatest aid to the murderers after their deaths due to their natural attributes and label of "absolute loyalty to Daenerys".

There is a lot of human and material evidence, and if it is a lawsuit, then Egger is one of the victims who can escape suspicion...... But Daenerys is not a judge but a monarch he serves, and as long as she still has doubts or grievances in her heart, even if there is no evidence that the Night's Watch is responsible, Iger will not be able to sleep again.

To avoid this, Egg needs Daenerys to be convinced that he is really poisoned and nearly killed.

Thus, the second step came into being - to try to seduce the queen into visiting her in person or by sending someone to visit her.

Melisandre, as a priest of the Red God who was supposed to be neutral but surrendered because of his status as the Chosen One, and one of the greatest contributors to his "survival", became the perfect choice for this task.

And the final third step, after the red-robed woman completed her mission, naturally became clear: she was not exposed to the temptation of Daenerys or the people she sent, and completely won her sympathy.

On the question of how to play dead, Egger and Bachelor Coben and Melisandre had a tireless and exhaustive discussion, and finally selected a few suitable spells from the latter's lifelong learning: first, a series of spells that can slow down the body's metabolism and weaken vital signs, the effect is to slow down people's breathing and heartbeat, lower body temperature, and enter a state similar to hibernation...... To simulate the dying appearance of a person who is dying, and then to some kind of magic that can paralyze the senses of the human body and make it disappear for a while—it is not enough to pretend to be dead, but also to be able to cope with the temptations of those who come to investigate, such as tickling, pinching flesh, and even pricking and stabbing. This is especially crucial – imagine if someone who is seriously ill and has clearly reached the end of his life would laugh or jump out of bed when someone scratches his armpit or pinched his thigh?

He had arranged everything seamlessly, but he didn't have time for even half a rehearsal, and the consequence was that the plan went awry when it was about to be implemented: the half-dragon scales given by Rahlo had the effect of magical resistance, and the trigger conditions were mysterious, and the host could not control them!

Melisandre's hibernation could have made him appear extremely close to death, but in fact, at a certain point, the dragon scales felt that "the host was cursed", and the energy was released to neutralize it...... In the end, Egg could only agree to reduce the power of his spells and avoid touching the trigger red line that protected himself from the scales. If this only slightly affects the realism of pretending to be dead, which is not hindered in the overall situation, then the latter problem is a big problem: whether it is forcibly unconscious or perceptual suppression, it will be directly judged as a harmful spell by Rahlo's scales, and the slightest casting will disappear into his body like a mud cow entering the sea.

Time was short, but Melisandre's mana was stretched to the limit, and she couldn't test him one after the other. If he can't come up with a quick solution, Egg will have to meet Daenerys' possible test when he is conscious and fully conscious—and if he is tempted at all, he may be exposed!

was so anxious that he turned around for a long time, and finally came to the rescue with the help prepared by the bachelor: he took out a medicine that can temporarily curb the body's reaction speed and make people fall into a "pseudo" paralyzed state for a short time. I don't know if it's because the dragon scales have different criteria for screening and judging drugs and spells, or because it takes time to detoxify, but it's actually useful!

So, in the end, Egg refilled a large bottle of paralyzing potion the moment Daenerys's healer and maid entered the door to be examined, and then quickly lay down on the bed, hoping that everything would go according to plan.

......

Daenerys's military doctor not only did not know much about toxicology in terms of knowledge, but he was also a rather sloppy person, and the queen entrusted such a critical and deadly task, he only hurriedly touched and looked at it, and thought that he was done, and got up without doubt to go and chat with Cobain.

Egg chuckled inwardly, and before he could rejoice, another person approached the bedside.
