The Green Prophet Bran's feigning of presence was so successful that Iger would have almost forgotten about this guy if it hadn't been for Jon Snow's sudden visit and dissection today.

And now, Egger, the faithful little brother, tells him exactly how Catelyn Stark came to Castle Black and told the truth about his life, and sincerely asks for advice from his trusty big brother, the Commander-in-Chief.

"Mrs. Caitlyn said that it was Bran's words, and it is known to all that my brother, who, since his return from his trip to the Confederacy, has become strange at the same time, but has acquired an ability to see what is happening in the past and in the distance. After opening the conversation, Jon stopped squirming and happily poured out all the stuff in his heart, "If this story is true, then Queen Daenerys...... It's my aunt, my last relative on earth. And I don't know now: whether I should or not, how, when and where I should recognize her!"

......

Egger knew all about Jon's background, of course, but he didn't expect that he already knew about it. And the latter sincerely asked for help from the former, but he didn't realize that what he said was actually a serious threat to the cause that Iger was fighting for!

After the initial astonishment, Egg pretended to listen carefully to Jon's story he already knew, and cooperated with a shocked look - all the while his mind raced to think about how to deal with the sudden situation in order to minimize its effects and possible harm.

The extent to which the "son of Rhaegar Targaryen" has had a detrimental effect on Daenerys Targaryen's succession and legitimacy of his reign is something that everyone can figure out, and there is no need to go into details. But in addition to this core reason, there are actually more reasons that are not humane, and Iger actually wants the mystery of Jon's origin to be buried forever.

Daenerys has an inexplicable deterrent and an impulsive attraction that can induce men, and these two temperaments are not transformed from the status title of "queen" and the appearance of "the most beautiful in the world", but are real and radiate directly from herself...... Iger asked many people around him about it and confirmed it, ruling out the possibility that it was his personal delusion.

Since the women of the Targaryen family have a special attraction to men, Iger obviously has reason to be worried: Jon, who also has Targaryen blood, will have the same effect on women...... Even the effect on each other is stronger, so that now that the plot has changed beyond recognition, he can still look at each other as soon as he and Daenerys meet!

Jon, who had come to Egger for help, had most of them unaware that his Commander-in-Chief had been careful not to give him the opportunity to come into contact with Daenerys.

Not only because there is no place for the "king" in Egger's blueprint for Westeros, but also out of a male instinct for possession and control - he doesn't want Jon and Daenerys to meet and fall in love with each other at first sight, quickly hook up with each other, leading to major changes in his plans, and losing the chance to get the queen!

So far, this has been a success. But right now, the bastard of the Green Prophet, out of some thought and purpose, told him about Jon's background through the mouth of Catelyn Tully!

Thankfully, he had a close relationship with Jon, and he chose to run to him for help instead of talking to himself...... Otherwise, it will lead to a complete and multiple catastrophe, and it will be out of control.

Fortunately, the real problem was in front of him: as the commander-in-chief, he naturally had the power to transfer the commander of Castle Black here and there...... Cleverly but unobtrusively, Jon never met the Queen, but as a friend and trusted big brother, what reason did he have to prevent a nephew from recognizing his long-lost aunt?

After a moment of unfeigned silence and thought, Iger had a rough idea.

......

"Jon, I'll ask you a question first. Iger stared into the other's eyes and said, "In the far south, there is a brother with the same name and surname and the same father as you, who is fighting against King Stannis with the support of the Golden Regiment, why do you say 'Daenerys is your last relative'?"

"But isn't that Aegon fake?" Jon replied without hesitation, obviously thinking about the question for a long time: "The Golden Regiment was driven out of Westeros by the Targaryens, and they have been resisting for so many years, how can they be kind enough to come and support a Targaryen to regain the throne?

"That's right, he's fake, everybody thinks so. Because his words have no evidence, and he cannot produce any evidence. This answer hit Egger's heart, and he agreed loudly, and followed the young man's words and asked, "Then here comes the problem, Jon...... No, Aegon - is there any difference between you and the other Aegon in the South other than the presence of a Green Prophet?"

"But what reason does Bran have to lie about this?"

"Bran has no reason to lie, but how many people in the Seven Kingdoms know him and recognize him as the Green Prophet?" Egg asked rhetorically, "You don't understand what I mean, I'm not doubting you, I'm pointing out the fact that you, like little Aegon in the South, have no evidence to prove your identity other than human witnesses! Mrs. Stark believes this to be true, and you and I believe it to be true, because we've all seen what your brother Bran is capable of...... However, the truth is: nine out of ten people in the Seven Kingdoms have never heard of the existence of the Green Prophet. If you suddenly come forward and claim to be the son of Rhaegar Targaryen, the Queen's nephew, I assure you that she will not have the slightest joy of being reunited with her loved ones, but will only think, 'Well, another liar who covets my throne and wants to fish in troubled waters has appeared.'" ”

"Not only will you become a liar in the eyes of everyone, but even the glorious Night's Watch Legion will be pulled to the same level as the Golden Regiment by you because of this - the world will never believe that one of your illegitimate children is Aegon Targaryen, let alone that you, a commander of Castle Black, would dare to tell such a big lie alone, they must think: You are the product of the infinite expansion of the ambition of my commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, and the puppet I selected, and I want to put you on the throne to achieve the goal of controlling the Seven Kingdoms!"

Iger pursued without stopping: "If only outsiders think so, it is a small matter, if the queen also suspects that I have ulterior motives, and plans to use her and her dragon and then kick her away to put you on the throne, then everything will be over!"

The expression on Jon's face changed slightly, but he didn't look too surprised, just more disappointed...... He's not stupid, if not as comprehensive as Egger thinks, but most of it has been thought through. But he came to Egger this time, not hoping that he could simply analyze the benefits and disadvantages for himself and dissuade himself bluntly, but to ask for help!

Egger took Jon's reluctant expression in his eyes and knew that it wasn't over yet.

As the land-grantee, it was easy for him to temporarily convince or warn Jon not to get into trouble, but he had to take Bran into account. It was unclear whether he had told Jon the truth through Caitlin whether it was the emotional part of the boy in his body or the Green Prophet's part. In either case, you have to assume the latter in advance...... And be prepared for it.

Heh, in the reckless "fight" that happened in Winterfell a few years ago, he tried his best to prevent the young Bran from falling from the building, but because he was in the bad plan of the previous Green Prophet, the plan even went weird wrong - this kind of dizziness and powerlessness of "I can't find what the problem is after eating it" is so disgusting that I don't want to relive it in this life...... As for the later time, the defenders of the Long Night Fort stopped Bran and Jiujian and their party so that they could not pass through the Great Wall to go to the outside of the fortress, and Commander Mormont personally went to solve the matter, and he actually died in an accident, which makes people afraid to think about it.

The Green Prophet was by no means a good man, or rather, such a being of incredible experience and experience, and his sense of ethics and morality was in no way similar to that of a mortal—his ruthlessness and unscrupulousness were absolutely above himself.

Egger seems to be going to be windy and rainy in the land gift, and everyone is crushed to death because the Great Wall is a place where scheming is a rookie, and there are few players who can get on the table. But if you feel invincible in the world because of this, you will be arrogant to the point of stupidity. Faced with the Green Prophet, who has unparalleled life experience and the ability to see through everything, as well as the ability to manipulate people's subconscious, Egg doesn't feel that he can play tricks with him to gain the upper hand.

Dealing with threats, the safest way is to physically eliminate them, and Egg has eaten the sweetness of this trick, and he can't help but think about this: Bran is now "recuperating" in Houguan Town, if he orders it...... No, sending someone will definitely make all kinds of inexplicable and unforeseen mistakes like when he was prevented from climbing the wall, and only by personally carrying a sword and leading people, ignoring any accidents, and killing him unstoppably and chopping off his head with a knife is the most likely way to succeed.

I don't know, if he does this, does the Green Prophet have the means to fight and counter?

Brain hole to brain hole, curiosity to curiosity, Iger finally gave up this idea.

He didn't know anything about this transcendent being, he didn't know if simply killing Bran would completely wipe out a "false god" like the Green Prophet, and he was able to understand the Green Prophet's unpredictable abilities and great threat because of his status as a time-traveler, but he couldn't explain it to the land grants and northern dwellers who mostly believed in the Old Gods. Even if it is assumed that the Green Prophet has no way to resist the blow he has unspent, and will not transform into another form after death...... There are other consequences that have to be considered.

Rushing over without even explaining a word, he killed a child who had never committed any crime, as pure as a white lotus, and a great hero against the strange ghosts, which would definitely make countless subordinates and land-giving residents feel crazy!

How many people would be happy to follow a madman to do great things, even if he is capable?

His mind turned a thousand times in an instant, and Egger's thoughts of letting go finally returned to the original point.

As the Commander-in-Chief, it would be easy for him to forbid or prevent Jon from doing this, or even quietly make him "disappear", but it is impossible for a person to do whatever he wants, without any consideration of external reactions and subsequent effects...... A simple analysis of it wasn't enough to tell Jon that "this can't be done". You have to fool him and let him really realize for himself - "it's better not to do that", which is the most stable!

Egg was a little unhappy, he had thought that he had come to this point, and he didn't have to bother to fool this and that...... But in retrospect, that doesn't seem to be the case.

"When one question is finished, let's switch to the next. "It's not good to be unhappy, it's still easy to copy the old business after all, Iger quickly sorted out the lines, "Next, let's assume that everyone believes that you are the real Aegon Targaryen, the son of Rhaegar, so what will happen - Jon, do you want to be king?"

"What? no...... I don't want to!" Jon didn't react for a moment, and then he looked panicked, shook his head again and again, and said a little incoherently, "I haven't thought about this at all!" I just think that she is my last relative in the world, if I don't recognize her now, and when she ascends the Iron Throne to mention this matter, will she be recognized as someone who covets power and wealth and fabricates stories to cling to her......"

"Well, you don't want to be king. This answer was not surprising to Egger at all, and he continued to ask without listening to nonsense, "Then answer this question: Do you know that you, Aegon Targaryen's succession, preceded Daenerys Targaryen?"

"I'm a night watchman, where did I get any inheritance!"

Iger nodded, "That's true. So, as a night watchman, after recognizing the Queen, do you intend to stay at the Wall, keep the vows you took when you put on black, and die in Si?"

"Uh...... If we succeed in finding and destroying the Wraiths on this expedition, we should be able to complete the mission, right?" Jon said hesitantly, perhaps not even believing himself, "The wildlings no longer exist, and the Wraiths will not be able to make a comeback anytime soon, so I think that going south with the adults to repay the Queen's help is also fulfilling the duty of the Night's Watch." And in this way, by the way, you can also ...... Protect her at close range?"

"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that I have to pour cold water on you again: whether you want to be king or not, whether you are a night watchman or not, can't change the fact that Aegon has the right over Daenerys. A smile appeared on Egger's face, and his lips curled: "You are a good boy with integrity and affection, but your aunt Daenerys Targaryen has not been hidden by Eddard Stark in a safe castle since she was a child. Her identity and whereabouts have been semi-open almost since she was a child—the good thing is that when she finally grows up and has the ability to come back for revenge, no one can question the truth of her identity, and the shortcomings are just as obvious: she has endured many times more dangers and tribulations than you have suffered as an illegitimate child! Your aunt, who came out of blood and fire, spent her entire childhood on the run, in fear, betrayal, and deceit, but she survived and became the Queen of the Dragon!"

"She's a powerful and proud queen, not a princess who needs knights to protect her, and she's not as tender and friendly as you think, and she craves affection!" Iger emphasized, solemnly, "She may be happy for a moment when she hears of your existence, but she will soon think of your threat to the legitimacy of his reign - and the 'threat' is not a matter of whether you want to, but whether you can or not! The Targaryens exist, no matter how much you love your last relative, how much you have no desire for power, every moment you live, every second you breathe, poses a great threat to her status and identity, and undermines the stability of the kingdom she longs to establish!"

The threat could be dissipated by the two of them uniting, but it was a plan that Egg wouldn't say, and given that Jon was a Night's Watch who swore no wives and no children, it didn't seem sinful to conceal it.

"Even if she doesn't hurt you because she cherishes you as a relative, do you want to be suspicious and wary of each other with her for the rest of your life...... "Iger threw out the last killer idea, and then offered a solution suggestion, "Or - bury this secret in your heart, stay at the northernmost part of the kingdom on the Great Wall for her, and spend your life silently guarding her, your last relative in the world?"
