Iger had to admit that Melisandre was a seductive woman, with red hair and red eyes and a beautiful face, and wearing a bright red dress that could not be dyed by ordinary dyes of this era, it was simply bright, even if the current queen, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the Seven Kingdoms, was ten years younger than her, she could only be equal at best...... If he didn't know her identity, he would definitely be happy to know such a beauty, and even make her one of the targets.

But at this stage, Egger really couldn't think of how this goddess stick, who was of unknown age and lacked Taoism, and who was able to pretend to be a ghost and deceive Stannis to ruin his family with the help of the flame reaction, could help his plan...... What's more, deep down, as a traverser, he is also a little instinctively afraid of the other party - not only because she burns the living if she disagrees, but also because the other party has something called "mana" that does not exist in the world he comes from.

People are always afraid of things they don't understand, it's a genetic level of self-preservation, and Iger is not ashamed of this, thinking that fearless is a real fool like Joffrey. Egger is in awe of Melisandre and unprepared to meet this important character, but the brave can overcome their fears, and the wise can cope with the unexpected. Since the other party took the initiative to come to the door, he could only come and cover up the water.

......

suppressed the tension in his heart, and reason soon came into play: although the woman in front of him was terrifying, she was not as moody as the mad king, and she was about to kill people for no reason. If the enemy of her enemies is a friend, then Melisandre, who is aware of the existence of the Stranger and serves the Lord of Light, should theoretically be a friend of the Night's Watch.

Having figured out the key in an instant, Egg reassured, stood up from the table, and calmly looked at the comer. I even couldn't help but guess whether the other party's beautiful face was born like this or if it was made of magic.

Melisandre took the initiative to come to her, presumably to inquire about the situation on the Great Wall and outside the fortress, to determine how far the threat of the alien spirit was to humanity. Should we tell the truth, or should we exaggerate and see if we can cheat some help?

Wait, let's think about how to say hello first. If you don't know the plot, you shouldn't know Melisandre at the moment, so you can only pretend that you don't know each other, and simply call the lady.

"Good evening, ma'am. ”

"Good evening. Melisandre smiled softly and seductively: "The representative of the Kingdom Shield came to Dragonstone Island as a guest, and he should have been well entertained, but unfortunately the island is really short of materials, if you neglect it, forgive me." ”

"You're so polite, I'm here on a business trip, not for pleasure. ”

Melisandre smiled and nodded, slowly approaching the four at the table.

Due to the hot weather, everyone basically rolled up their sleeves and bare arms, and at this moment, the exposed skin clearly felt a warm rush that was not an illusion - this made Egg's heart sink, unless the sacrifice of the Lord of Light had a fever of fifty or sixty degrees all day, it was impossible for him to walk with such an amazing hot wind, what kind of magic trick or ghost trick was this, or was the "god" she believed in really protecting her with this heat?

Suppressing the suspicions in his heart, the night watchman waited for the next question or temptation of the goddess stick, and was mentally prepared for various answers, but the development of things suddenly went beyond the expectations of everyone in the room.

......

"Huh?" The red-robed woman approaching Iger suddenly had a shocked expression on her face, and under the greedy or awe-struck gaze of several people in the room, she jumped away as if she had been pricked with a needle by the night watchman, and shouted at the same time: "Guard, come in, catch this heresy!"

＊＊＊

This was the second time Iger had been captured since he crossed over, and he reached to his waist to remember that the steel sword issued by the Night's Watch had been handed over to the arsenal on the day he left Castle Black, and there was no need to carry a weapon when he came to King's Landing...... But come to think of it, it's a good thing that there is no guy, otherwise he would have drawn his sword instinctively, should he resist a witch and two heavily armed soldiers, or obediently lay down his arms and surrender?

He raised his hands and let the two soldiers who rushed into the house control him. The last time he was arrested, he at least knew why, but this time, he was really inexplicable.

He'd deceived a Stark, deceived a Lannister, but never deceived Stannis Baratheon, let alone offended Melisandre...... As for "heresy", Westeros is full of heretics, Stannis has not yet become a king, who gave the red-robed woman the courage to persecute heretics, Liang Jingru?

......

Egger had not been able to enter the Dragonstone castle when he came to visit in the morning, but was escorted in by heavily armed Dragonstone guards, and Egger's restraint made Melisandre's nervousness fade, and she was finally relieved when the Night's Watch was firmly tied to the pillar. Standing a few meters away, the red-robed woman spoke in a flat tone: "Who sent you?"

"Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, Geo Mormont. Of course, Egg wouldn't say that Tyrion paid to ransom him, but to be honest, he shouldn't have been able to provoke the followers of the Lord of Light in front of him at all - could it be that Melisandre knew the situation of the Night's Watch so much that she was angry at her escape?

"yes, what did you send you for? ”

Iger told the truth about the four tasks, and then said with humiliation and anger: "Lady Melisandre, there must be some misunderstanding here, this is definitely the first time I have met you......"

"Yes, then why did I feel the aura of a powerful ancient god from you?"

Iger swore he didn't know what it was, was it because he was tainted with ice magic when he fought with the stranger, or was he not native to this world, so that the goddess stick in front of him noticed the abnormality?

"Ma'am, I really don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"Maybe you don't know, but I have my own way of getting the information I want. Melisandre smiled inexplicably and said to one of the guards next to her, "Go and bring a brazier." ”

A brazier, does it have to be tortured to extract a confession?

Egger was furious, he had always been a person who planned for a rainy day, he imagined how he would save himself and exonerate himself after his lies were discovered, he was arrested by the Starks, caught by Robert and even fell into the hands of Cersei, and even made up a few sets of lines in his stomach, but he didn't expect that this time he would encounter an accident when he came back to Dragonstone Island to explore obsidian mines- Heaven and earth conscience, he really didn't know what he should confess to Melisandre, this inexplicable change was beyond the scope of his little cleverness, could he only reveal the identity and identity of the traverser when the hot soldering iron pressed against his skin and hissed? Will Melisandre believe it?

The brazier was quickly moved, and it was placed a meter away in front of Egger, and there was not a red-hot soldering iron stuck in it as he expected, but the red-robed woman took out a knife out of nowhere and handed it to the guard: "Go, get some of this night watchman's blood, just a few drops, don't have too much, I want him to live." ”
