Prime Minister's Tower.

"Your Excellency, you are looking for me. As soon as Melisandre walked into the Prime Minister's Chamber, the whole room lit up.

There was no one else in the hall, Jory Kesso and Erin were guarding the door.

"Did you bring your Lightbringer?" said Eddard Stark lightly.

"Yes, my lord, the night is long and the sinister is everywhere, and you are welcome to believe in the Lord of Light, the god of fire and shadow, the only true god on earth. "Melisandre's red eyes were like two red gems, shining with a bewildering intoxication.

"Is there really a god in the world?"

"Of course! I saw Varys' little secret in the flames, and unearthed the traitor who had tipped off the Duke of Tywin, the revelation from Rahlo, the Lord of Light. ”

"Is the ancient god in the north a god?"

"Ancient alien gods are evil gods. ”

"Evil gods are gods, too!" said Eddard Stark lightly, "Lady Melisandre, will you die?"

"Everyone dies. ”

Ed nodded slightly: "So the god of death is also one of the true gods, no matter you or me, you can't escape the embrace of death, because everyone dies." So, will you have children?"

"Lord Eddard, I'm not here to discuss life and death with you, the ancient gods of the north are accumulating strength, the long night is coming, and the stars are crying blood......"

"Cold!" Eddard Stark interrupted Melisandre, "the ancient god you're talking about is the Cold, and I've fought the Stranger and killed one of their Stranger Kings in the Ghost Forest. I'm the only person in King's Landing who has ever formally confronted the Chill God's men. The Great Wall of Desperation has gathered thousands of men, but it is not enough. ”

Melisandre's eyes lit up.

This was the first time she had met someone in Westeros who knew the god of cold. Her followers on Dragonstone don't really want to believe the northern gods she says, and they follow her more and more because Selyse is the Duchess of Dragonstone. Now, Celis is the queen, and she is also a celebrity next to Stannis I, a person who is willing to join the Red God Faith, and has another plan, that is, she can climb into the power because of this.

It's like Stannis I, using her power instead of devout faith in Lahllo, the Lord of Light.

"Assist Stannis I, the son of light, to conquer the Seven Kingdoms, and then gather the strongest power to defeat the people of the Cold God. Melisandre said.

"I'm doing this, Stannis I is already on the Iron Throne. ”

"But there is still a long way to go before the unification of the Seven Kingdoms, and we still need to work together to sweep away the Seven Kingdoms and gather strength. ”

"Yes, there's still a long way to go. But you're on the wrong track!" Eddard Stark stared at Melisandre.

"The flames led me to Stannis, the child of light, the reincarnation of Azar Ahai. My blood spells don't deceive me. ”

Eddard Stark said slowly, "After the long summer, the stars will cry blood, and the cold darkness will cover the world, and in this moment of terror, a warrior will pull out the flaming sword from the flames, and that sword will be the 'Lightbringer', the hero's red sword, and the one who holds the sword is the reincarnation of Azor Ah, and he will drive away the darkness." Unfortunately, the Stannis you found was not Atholl Ahai, and the sword you gave him was just a magic trick, not a lightbringer. Stannis's blood is indeed royal, but he is not the true king of Targaryen. ”

"I don't understand. ”

"The founder of House Baratheon was named Orris Baratheon, the illegitimate son of Aegon Targaryen. ”

Melisandre was stunned, as if someone had stabbed her waistcoat with a sword.

"If you use the blood of Stannis I or Princess Shireen, you will naturally get the power of shadows, because they are a branch of the Targaryen royal family. In the land of Axia, in many places on the other side of the Narrow Sea, there is no distinction between illegitimate children and illegitimate children, as long as it is a father's bloodline, regardless of men and women, they are equal brothers and sisters, and enjoy equal power. ”

Melisandre was speechless.

If Eddard Stark's words were true, he had seen everything. Well, Eddard Stark is either a prophet or a demigod. Melisandre is a low-ranking witch, and her sister is superior to her in magical powers and foresight. It's not surprising to meet a prophetic figure who is even more powerful than her.

At least, Eddard Stark is true when he says that her Lightbringer is a magic trick, and that her lightsaber, Eddard Stark is the only one to see through.

Choke!

Eddard Stark pulls out the clan sword Ice - this ice is not an ordinary sword, and it cannot be carried on the body like a normal sword, and if you want to travel, there will be a special swordsman who carries this sword. When the real Eddard Stark was lured onto the ship by Fake Littlefinger, he couldn't go to the appointment secretly with the Clan Sword, so the Clan Sword was kept in the Prime Minister's Tower.

The ice was unsheathed, the sharp aura permeated, and the circular shadows on the sword body circled and circled, the hallmark of the Valyrian steel sword—the magic mark and the blacksmith's tempering had become one.

"If your sword is a lightbringer, give it a try with my ice. Eddard Stark said lightly.

A single sword of the clan would have cut Melisandre's sword in two.

It is not an ordinary sword of the True Lightbringer, and when it is subjected to magic and flames, the damage of the sword itself will be severe. Flames can destroy normal swords, unless they are Valyrian steel swords, or magic dragon bone swords.

Soros, a red-robed monk in Mill who likes to play with fire swords, has to change to a new sword every time he uses a fire sword. For this reason, his swords are all made of inferior iron, and the price of swords made of good iron is too high, and the sword is changed frequently, and Mil's Soros does not have so many gold dragon coins.

"How did Lord Eddard see through that my Lightbringer wasn't really a Lightbringer?"

"I know the Lightbringer is there, in the ice of ice and fire you're looking for. ”

"The sword of fire in the ice?"

"Yes, the sword of fire is in the ice. ”

"And where is the fire?"

"The fire is not in Westeros at all. ”

Melisandre was stunned again!

Her beautiful eyes flashed with momentary confusion.

She had worked tirelessly, thousands of miles away, and who knew that the fire she was looking for was not in Westeros at all? If so, then where did she misread the flames, and thus misunderstand Rahlo's will?

"Where's the fire?"

"Varys. Eddard Stark said softly.

Melisandre's lips were slightly open, and her expression of surprise was moving. If it weren't for the fact that Melisandre was a hundred-year-old wizard, a low-ranking red shaman, whose youthful beauty was sustained by the flaming ruby energy in her throat, Eddard Stark would have feared that he would be obsessed with her boundless charm.
