Unlike most Westeros, Daenerys is no stranger to the Red God, and in a sense, she is even half a believer.

Because the High Priest Bennello interpreted from the flames that "the Dragon Queen is the child of prophecy", countless people from the Red God Cult continued to promote and build momentum for her on both sides of the Narrow Sea and obstruct the formation of the anti-Targaryen alliance, not to mention, the Great Red Temple of Valantis also sent a high-ranking priest of the same rank as Melisandre, Marchiro, to travel thousands of miles to Slaver's Bay to assist and guide her, and accompanied her until the prophecy was fulfilled and the demons were defeated.

In the process, Daenerys not only further saw the magic of magic, but also became familiar with the red-robed monk and the gods he believed in over a long period of time......

It was a mysterious but reliable wizard, and the Rahlo he believed in seemed to be real, everything he said and did around him...... All of them are following the instructions of the god to guide themselves to the final battle, to become the prophetic child who defeats the darkness and saves mankind. In the process, Machiro maintained a strict neutrality, never participating in the struggle between Varys and Petyr, nor seeking power or personal gain for himself, nor did he do anything ridiculous to harm innocents, such as burning infidels, in order to spread the Red God Cult.

Marcello's good words and deeds undoubtedly gave Daenerys a good impression of the Red Monk and his faith in Lahlo - in fact, she even moved the idea of appointing Marchiro as the chief religious and magical advisor after the unification of the Seven Kingdoms, introducing the Red God Cult to stir up the stagnant waters of the Seven Kingdoms, and weakening the absolute influence of the Seven Gods under the control of the old town of Hightower on the whole of Westeros, breaking the status quo of "only knowing the Seven Gods but not the King" in many places.

It's a pity...... The latter insisted on resigning and returning to Valantis after completing her mission, and she did not stay.

But it didn't matter if Machiro was gone, Daenerys's closeness and affection for him and the forces behind him extended to his trusted colleague - another High Priest of the Red God, Melisandre, in the form of love for the house and Wu.

A powerful but pious, politically unambitious group like them would not deceive or deal with their own ...... for any dirty purpose The prophesied queen, right?

With this in mind, despite the unfortunate timing of the witch's visit, Daenerys decided to take the trouble to meet her after a little thought.

＊＊＊

"Please let her in. ”

Daenerys finished the order, sat back in her seat, put away her confusion and haste, straightened her waist, and put on the strong mask that belonged to the Dragon Queen again...... and looked up at the red-robed woman who had walked into the room suddenly, although her face was tired, but as elegant and arrogant as ever.

"Lady Melisandre, visiting late at night, I don't know what happened?"

"What's the matter?" the red-robed woman shook her head, "Your Majesty, it's not for you to ask me right now, but for me to ask you—it's all this time, what are you still doing here?"

"Ma'am, we all respect you. Missandei immediately jumped out to defend the queen: "But this is His Majesty's room, she doesn't need any reason here, please be respectful!"

"I know it's her room. Melisandre glanced at the girl with the contemptuous eyes of an adult talking and a child's don't interject, and then turned her gaze back to Daenerys: "Your Majesty's three important ministers were poisoned at the same time, and two of them were killed, and the remaining one was also hanging by a thread, but you did not try to rescue the survivors at this moment, nor did you hurry to evacuate Winterfell to prevent civil unrest in the Land-Granting Army...... Cowering in this building under the protection of the Unsullied, are you waiting for some miracle to happen, or are you hoping that the situation will turn around and calm down on its own?"

Daenerys was not irritated by the obvious taunt, for she was about to evacuate, but was interrupted by the red-robed woman's request to see her, and she and Missandei glanced at each other quietly, and neither of them told the truth.

After a few moments of awkward silence, Daenerys realized that she should show a little concern for her subordinates before the truth was revealed, even if it was just for show: "This is indeed my mistake, please forgive me." Lady Melisandre, Egg called you for help before he fell unconscious, and you must have been treated for help, can you tell me how he is doing?"

"Dead. The red-robed woman spat out two words with an expressionless face, and then added, "Master Coben has identified some kind of poison in the commander-in-chief that he has stolen, this drug is extremely toxic, but it has a characteristic - it can be dissolved by the human body itself, so ...... Not only is the poison mildly harmful when taken in small doses, but theoretically - as long as he manages to hang the poisoner's life, he can survive and recover completely on his own bodily functions. So, I spent the whole afternoon casting spells to keep him alive, using mana and poison to fight a war of attrition in an attempt to save the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch. ”

"Ahem, Your Majesty. ”

Missandei muttered something to the side, seemingly headless and brainless, but in fact it was a hint to remind Daenerys that even the High Priest of the Red God may not be completely credible.

"Then why did it fail?" Daenerys felt as if something had been sucked out of her body when she heard the word death from the woman in the red robe, a little empty, but at the same time relieved. the bitterness of losing a confidant, and the lightness of knowing that the former has not betrayed...... The mixture of several very different emotions is really indescribable, and even after being reminded by Missandei that the witch may be deceiving herself, she still can't get out of this sense of loss for a long time.

"Because no one's mana is endless, I have done everything I can, but the commander-in-chief has drunk a lot of poisoned wine, and the power of this poison is completely beyond imagination...... If I keep holding on, I won't be able to support it first. ”

As she spoke, as if to add convincing to her words, Melisandre walked over to the chair reserved for visitors and sat down as if drained of her strength.

She wasn't as weak as she had been, but at least it was true that she was running out of mana now: when Egg returned the magic necklace to Melisandre, there was very little magic left. It's incredible - the necklace was designed to remove enough poison to poison ten elephants, and as long as the wearer didn't drink the poison as water and food, it would be impossible to drain the magic so cleanly.

It wasn't so much that Egger had used it to detoxify and drain his mana, but rather that something had drained it out.

If it was a fellow priest who borrowed the necklace, she would have come to the door to ask for an explanation, but in the face of Lahllo's appointed spokesperson, Melisandre did not dare to ask more, so she could only swallow the loss silently. She was now relying on her own magic to maintain her youth spell, which made her look a little haggard, but it was crooked, and it could be used as strong evidence for her claim.

"So, you're giving up on his treatment?" Although she knew that this was probably a lie, for some reason, Daenerys still felt a real cut in her heart, and even the words she said carried some reluctance and bitterness to part.

"It's a pity, but I don't have a choice. "Melisandre said in a calm and cruel tone, "Although his breathing and heartbeat have not disappeared, he is no different from dead, and if he is fast, he will be able to reach dawn if he is slow...... However, after I calmed down, I thought about it and realized that there was actually a way to save him. ”

......

Should I say "great", or "that's the way it is"?

The queen and Missandei looked at each other and saw the same thing in each other's eyes.

If the first half of Melisandre's words still made Daenerys feel concerned and immersed in grief, but the second half of the sentence suddenly stirred up the atmosphere - and even made her grit her teeth uncontrollably: after saying a lot, he will definitely not die in the end anyway?

Isn't a lot of my previous mental activity all a waste of feelings?

As long as Egger does not die, no matter what the reason, and how many hardships and waves he has "supposedly" experienced, he will be the eternal biggest suspect, and he will never be able to get out of this suspicion for the rest of his life.

Daenerys's face turned cold, but after all, she didn't want to turn her face with a Red God priest, so she had to continue the trick: "What's the solution?"

"True dragon bloodlines contain great power, and I happen to have learned an unpopular blood magic that can release this energy and channel it into other people's bodies, bringing them back to life. Melisandre stared into Daenerys' eyes and said, "If Your Majesty is willing to give me some blood for me to cast a spell, I may be able to give it a fight and try to save the Commander-in-Chief from the brink of death." It's just that I don't know if this night watchman has such an important position in His Majesty's heart, and you...... I tried it without the courage and courage to do so. ”

Blood magic?

Dani's heart moved.

No one knows blood magic better than she does!

Wait, it's a show...... Of course, this is nonsense, Daenerys is not arrogant enough to dare to know blood magic better than a high-ranking priest of the Red God, but she has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run, although she is not able to master or master this extremely unpopular and evil technique at first hearing, but she really knows something about it.

For no other reason, she really—more than once saw and even got up close and personal with this thing.

As early as the witch Miri Maz Dur she met at Lazarin, later in the dragon harness she learned in her own trip to Asha, and a little closer to watching Machiro contact Lahlo for response and guidance by sacrificing blood to the flames......

Everything Daenerys knew and saw made her understand that blood magic does exist, and it can really save people.

As for the power in the true dragon's bloodline, she has been coveted by many mysterious people - whether it was when she was almost imprisoned by a male witch when she was in the Temple of Immortality, or when she traveled to Yaxia, she was asked for blood in exchange for the "Dragon Riding Codex......

If Daenerys was still very suspicious of Egger before, it was down to eight after being told by Melisandre so carefully and as if it were true.

Is this a hoax by director Egger to dispel suspicions about him because he personally participated in the rescue, or is it ...... Is he really dying at the moment, and he urgently needs an unconventional method like blood magic to win a glimmer of life?

Daenerys was hesitating, but Missandei, who was next to her, jumped out in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, you can't go over!" Seeing Daenerys's attitude softened from resolute, and understood that the queen had fallen into the predicament of the authorities, he fantasized again, and he couldn't care about self-esteem and etiquette under his nervousness, and shouted in front of Melisandre: "This is obviously a trap!"
