"Now, now that you have the truth you want, you can make a decision again?" The Green Prophet didn't mean to comfort Egger at all, he was silent after complaining, giving the other party enough time to think before re-speaking, "I don't know and don't intend to inquire about the task given to you by the Vulcan Lady, but I'm confident that no matter what the goal, Green Vision will be a great help to accomplish it." Nod, I'll be at your disposal, and if you don't agree, I will never take another step north of the Great Wall of Desperation. ”

There are some opinions that are never suitable for being said, but they will be used as creeds by some people. For Iger, one of them is that everything in the world must have a price in secret.

When the Green Prophet decisively confessed what he had concealed, the original "voluntary offering" became a clear deal with clear content and clear costs: if the deal was done, Iger would bear the wrath of Rahlo, and the Green Prophet would reward him with extraordinary skills...... In any case, this is at least much more reliable than what the other party said before, "don't get anything in return".

Egger is such a person: when he sees a clear price, he is extremely relieved - after all, what is marked at a clear price can be taken away if you pay enough, while what is not at a clear price does not know how much you will have to pay for it in the future.

Now, the problem model has been simplified, and all he has to think about is "whether this price is cost-effective".

Iger pressed his weight into his chair, flattened the cushions, and looked at the Green Prophet in a daze, but began to think carefully about the pros and cons of this transaction.

＊＊＊

It was only then that his brain was running at full power, and Iger first realized that things were not as simple as he had thought.

The "blamed by Laherlo" clause, although it seems serious, is actually not the most worrying issue: his current identity is the spokesperson of the Red God, and even Laherlo himself said that as long as Iger does what she explains, she will not care at all how he does evil or deceives under his own banner.

The subtext of this seemingly brainless sentence is actually to give an account to his chosen one, telling Egger unmistakably: As long as you are working for me, then all your decisions and actions can be regarded as the will of my own deity.

In a word, it can be summed up - whatever Iger does, she has Rahlo in her pocket.

And this delegation of authority directly means that Egger is actually qualified and powerful to remove the Green Prophet from his position as a "jailer" at this moment, freeing him from this long watch that has lasted for thousands of years. And this is the fundamental reason why the Green Prophet sensed Rahlo's breath and ran to see Iger and made this request to him.

Since Rahlo has delegated authority, there is no reason to turn his face because the chosen one has used the authority legitimately to complete the task - even if the goddess finds that the jailer designated by her mother has been "transferred" without authorization after recovering from her injuries in the future, she is dissatisfied with Egger's decision, and at most she will criticize him and remove him, and maybe she will not reject his decision.

......

Thinking about it this way, wouldn't it be completely cost-effective to take a small risk in exchange for a super helper?

However, following this line of thought, another question immediately popped into Egger's mind: After the dismissal of the Green Prophet, the number one jailer of the human camp would retire, and who would fill his vacancy?

The god of cold was temporarily overpowered by the majesty of Rahlo...... No, Kamui was so frightened that he retreated into his old nest, but sooner or later he would come back and realize that his opponent might be bluffing and making a comeback. If Rahlo hadn't woken up and couldn't come to his aid, wouldn't the human side have to fight against the original master of this world without a guard post and no backer?

The above is only a consideration from the perspective of righteousness. As an existence born in this weak demon world, the cold god has no power to move mountains and reclaim the sea and destroy the heavens and the earth when his body has been destroyed once. The problem of guarding against him is entirely possible by building a powerful kingdom, developing military technology, and entrapping transcendents such as the Red God Priests in bulk...... Strengthen the defense line of the Great Wall of Despair in various ways to solve it. But as an individual, a careerist, Iger also needs to consider his own interests: threats don't have to come from the outside — nodding his head and accepting the help of the Green Prophet, can he handle a supernatural subordinate who has lived psychologically for thousands of years, knows that Lahlo is powerful but not omnipotent, and has green vision and the ability to manipulate the human subconscious?

It is conceivable that his sense of caution and self-protection is relatively high compared to ordinary people, and in the eyes of the green prophet whose ability to obtain information is against the ceiling, he may be as naïve and easy to deal with as a child. All this old fellow fears is the status of "Lahlo's spokesman", and he may not be aware of his own status, status, or power in the mortal world. If he agrees to this deal, in a short period of time, the Green Prophet may be really diligent in obeying and helping him, so that the land-giving power can easily swallow the Seven Kingdoms, but in the long run......

After spending enough time together, the Green Prophet, who has a delicate mind and a fierce eye, will sooner or later find that Rahlo has not reappeared, and Egg, the Chosen One, cannot contact her, and finally realize that he is just a sign of the Chosen One, and the backer behind him has actually picked a pick!

By that time, on the one hand, he had developed a dependence on his sources of information with the help of the Green Prophet, and on the other hand, the reverence and obedience that Rahlo had begun to lose after the latter's long absence......

In this case, what happens?

The advantage of being soaked in the knowledge of modern society makes Iger just think about it casually, and a large number of historical materials come to mind, which can be used as a lesson for the future.

There is a high probability that the Green Prophet will not dare to hurt himself as a spokesperson in Akari out of fear of Laherlo, but he can definitely provide information selectively, deceive himself, and use his subconscious to influence the tendencies and decisions of the middle and high-level people around him...... Just like the enhanced and demonic version of Varys, as a spy leader, he influences and controls the new dynasty in the shadows, making the real decision-makers and executors feel constrained, and even completely unconsciously elevated.

When the time comes, the self who released the Green Prophet from the box will realize that he has fallen into a bad situation...... Do you still have the ability to lock it up?

This is only a relatively mild guess of the consequences, and the worst outcome is to hand over the fruits of victory to others or become its puppets. There is an even more terrible ending: Rahlo has completely annoyed the Green Prophet by herding pigeons for thousands of years. When he discovers one day that the goddess has actually been seriously injured and no longer powerful, he may directly turn against the water and re-throw himself into the cold god, helping him regain the dominance of the world and bring ruin to mankind!

......

Malicious speculation about others is not a good quality for ordinary people. But Egger has come all the way to this day, but he is even more convinced: the only way to survive in this absurd and dangerous world is to always consider the possible malice of others and keep a hand on guard, and to ensure that there is still a way to counter even if the speculation comes true.

The conditions offered by the Green Prophet were so tempting that Iger had to force himself to pour a few basins of cold water on himself in order to suppress the heat in his heart and the strong urge to say yes. This suspicious way of thinking soon worked, and he thought quietly for a moment with the cold water he had poured with his own hands, and finally came to the difficult conclusion that he had no means to prevent and counter it...... There's not even a way to detect the Green Prophet's possible loss of control in advance.

Letting this guy join is like making a deal with the devil, and the risks far outweigh the benefits!

＊＊＊

"Nope. After some seemingly short but complicated considerations, Iger spoke again and gave his answer crisply, "I believe that Her Majesty the Red God would have preferred you to keep your eyes on the north, the direction of her enemy, rather than the fight of a mortal family. Your abilities have helped me immensely, but I am confident that I can win on my own. ”

Bran looked at him silently, and the white and smooth young man's face did not show any expression, including anger, I don't know if he had vented it in the previous half of the roar, or whether he was silently enduring and accumulating.

On the other hand, Egger didn't intend to bet on whether he was pushed to the extreme. Although he rejected his seemingly sincere offer of allegiance, Iger had to make some small concessions in other areas to ensure that the Green Prophet would not fight with him out of anger and unfair treatment.

"However, I also understand the hardships and dangers of being outside Cyprus. So, I'm here, as the spokesperson for the Lord of Light, to agree to your request to move your place of work south of the Great Wall. ”

Whether he was Bran or the Green Prophet, he was just a crippled Stark in the eyes of outsiders, and even if he hadn't made a firm statement that he would never go out of the Wall again, Egger would never have forced him to drag his unusable legs out of the blockade...... In this case, it is better to sell a favor.

"In addition, I will also instruct the logistics department to do everything possible to meet your needs in life, so that you have fine clothes and food, have the treatment and living standard that matches the 'Stark Prince', and enjoy everything that a nobleman should enjoy, which can be regarded as a reward for your many years of duty outside the fortress. Iger spoke slowly and without hesitation, not evading his gaze with the Green Prophet, "Finally, I can assure you that I will report your situation to Lady Lahllo at the next meeting with her, and ask her to give a clear answer. ”

Bran's face moved slightly, and this last one finally gave him a little reaction: "Thank you, but please, my lord, when you are in front of her...... I omitted to mention my previous slight gaffe. ”

Hmph, no matter how dissatisfied you are, in the end, aren't you still afraid that Lahero will be scared to death?Egger smiled in his heart, but nodded solemnly on the surface: "However, at the same time, I will still ask for something." ”

"First, if the cold god makes another move, you have to make sure that you can still find it as soon as possible and warn the legion; second, since you put on black clothes and moved the place on duty to the land grant, then you will naturally be responsible for the safety of the night watch legion and the land grant, while staring at the outside of the fortress, I want you to also allocate a certain amount of energy to check the land and sea of the land grant, if you find a threat to the land grant and the legion, whether it is from the sea or from the north on land, remember your current identity and location. ”

"Third, I don't want what happened to Jon to happen again, take care of anyone's emotions in your head. If there is any strange news that is unfavorable to me from you or appears in anyone's dreams, whether it is your fault or not, I will settle the account on you. ”

After a few seconds of staring at Bran with the same cold expression, he concluded: "That's it, do you have any questions or requests?"

"I do as you command, Commander-in-Chief. Although dissatisfaction was almost coming out of the pores, the Green Prophet finally agreed honestly and completely, "I have only one request, please transfer me to the Long Night Castle, near the ancient Heart Tree, where my abilities can be used to the fullest." ”

"Yes. ”

Egg nodded, but in his heart, he already made a list of things to do to "send a certain number of Red God believers to the fortress". In this way, if this guy plans to do tricks in the Long Night Castle, he will not be completely ignorant.

"If there are no other requests, then go pack your things and prepare to go to the Long Night Castle, the appointment will be issued in two days. ”

If you don't meet the other party's requirements, it is natural that you can't get a good face. Seeing that Bran said no more, Iger got up from his chair, walked to the door without looking back, pushed the door and walked out.

The light outside the room made him squint slightly, and in the chill that came over his face, Egg noticed that Melisandre hadn't waited next door as he had said. Not afraid of the cold, she waited outside the house with the nanny who took care of Bran's food and clothing, and Egger's personal guards, and saw someone walking out of the house, and several pairs of eyes focused on him.

"Go and get Stark back to his quarters. Iger casually ordered the new land-giver to enter the house and push Bran's wheelchair before turning to a trusted guard: "Go and inform Arm and ask him to arrange for Macchiro to return to Valantis' ship from the East Sea and Bran Stark's carriage to the Long Night Castle...... In addition, tell Humphrey: Be ready for wartime information control, listen to my orders to activate, be careful, and don't leak the news in advance!"

The guards waiting for the herald also left in a hurry, and Egg turned his gaze back to the red-robed woman and met her crimson eyes: "I know you have a lot of questions on your mind, but don't worry, if I am free tonight, I will explain it to you completely." Right now...... If you don't have anything else to do, come with me to get down to business. ”

Among the contents of Rahlo's gift, the cold resistance provided by the half-dragon scales, and the power of the true dragon...... It's just some optional extras, but after a moment of thought, Iger can roughly figure out the reason for the inexplicable heat in Fang's chest: the magic exerted on that small piece of scales may have given him the ability to be immune to mind detection and subconscious interference. The Green Prophet probably tried to influence his own thoughts, but was blocked by the spell on the scales - this is the real reason why he was honest the whole time!

The identity of Rahlo's chosen one helped him solve the two major worries of "the Green Prophet making trouble" and "the fire in the backyard of the land grant" that he had been uneasy about, and this was the part that he found most useful and even pleasantly surprised. Now, he can finally put all his thoughts on the imminent southern expedition.
