Chapter 1048 - Burning Glass
Jon looked at Daenerys to see if she would say something inflammatory.
He knows what happened and what happened.
If what Daenerys says doesn't match reality, he'll stand up and tell the truth.
More than 20,000 soldiers were emotional, and the generals were even more staring at Daenerys, Jorah, Lago and others were all loyal generals of Daenerys, as well as the Commander-in-Chief of the Unsullied, Gray Bug.
Daenerys's words, they will carry it out unconditionally and believe it.
Daenerys' gaze slowly swept over her loyal subordinates, only in front of these people, she had the feeling of being a queen, and in the north, Winterfell, she did not feel this kind of loyalty and respect. The north is cold and wet, and the soldiers do the same to her.
"Someone who, under your banner, claims to be one of my men, slaughtered the northern port city of White Harbor at night!"
"Slaughter?" Varys said in surprise.
"Slaughter?" Jorah was shocked, "Your Majesty, White Harbor is the largest and most populous city in the North, surpassing Winterfell. ”
Jorah Mormont was a native of the North, growing up until he committed a capital crime and was hunted down by Ed.
"All the people have been killed?" asked Largo.
The generals were shocked, and the soldiers whispered.
"Yes, there are not many troops in White Harbor, because of the war of the Strangers, all the troops in the North have been put into battle, and White Harbor is empty, and it was said that you were helping the Northerners to fight the Strangers, and then the Earl of Mandalay in White Harbor opened the port gates and let these people enter the inner and outer ports. ”
Jon interjected, "The Earl of Mandalay is a good man. ”
"The Earl of Mandalay also ...... Unlucky?" asked Jorah. He knew the Earl of Mandalay, and the two had some meager friendship.
"In addition to the bachelors and a few servants who were hiding in the basement of the old castle, the children, the soldiers and the people of the city were all killed by the murderers, and they finally set fire to the whole city. Jon said bitterly.
"Who's the murderer?" asked Varys, "Isn't there an eyebrow now?"
"The murderer is Arrene Martell. Daenerys said slowly, "I also went to Valantis to find out her real name, she swore allegiance to me through Archpriest Benelro, and then, before I knew it, led her pirate fleet to attack White Harbor. ”
"She wants to provoke a battle between the two continents. Varys saw through Arrene Martell's intentions at a glance, "But her ultimate goal is to take Dorne." ”
"Your Majesty, Arlene has sworn allegiance to you, and you don't know it?" asked Jorah.
"Little did I know at the time, but it wasn't until I went to Valantis and the Red God resurrected Jon that Archpriest Bennello told me the truth. Archpriest Bennero knows about this. ”
Varys stammered, "What an evil Red God priest!" but he didn't say it.
"Before I knew it, the Northerners suddenly attacked my dragon, killing Regor and seriously wounding Drogon, before besieging Jon and killing him. I demand that the Northerners hand over the killers of Regor and Jon," Daenerys said angrily.
"They must hand over the murderer!" said Largo.
"Yes, what Arlene has done, the people of the North cannot impose hatred on us. The gray worm, who has never spoken, also took a stand.
"What if the people of the North don't make friends?" Varys asked softly, his eyes cautious.
Jorah also stared at Daenerys to see how she answered.
"If the people of the north hand over the murderer, the continent will be peaceful, but if we don't hand over the murderer, we will catch the murderer ourselves." Daenerys said.
"It's not appropriate. Jon said coldly, "Lord Will said, first find the murderer of White Harbor, and then the two sides sit down and negotiate. We've fought the Wraiths, we've shed enough blood, Daenerys, don't war. “
Varys said, "Your Majesty, I agree with what Jon said. We need to seize Arlene first and make her pay for her sins, and then we should sit down and negotiate peace under the auspices of Lord Will. The strange spirits have been destroyed, winter has arrived, and the long night will soon come, so we Terrans should not have any more internal battles. ”
"Lord Varys, the people of the North must hand over the murderer of Rego, as well as the murderer of Jon. Argo said.
"I wasn't killed. Jon said, "The people who did it to me were my comrades, and I don't want anyone to fight them for me." I grew up in the North, and the Northerners are my family. ”
"Your Majesty, I think you should listen to Lord Will's opinion on this matter. Jorah Mormont said.
"I'll listen, I'll go to King's Landing to negotiate with Lord Will, I can take a step back and not hold the sins of those who did it against Jon, he has been resurrected by the Red God, but the man who killed Rhaego must pay the price. ”
"Your Majesty, sit down and listen to Lord Will's opinion. Varys said. There is a hint in this sentence that Varys and Lago, Jorah Mormont, are members of the branch roundtable on Daenerys' side. Varys was a member of the Round Table of Quells City, and Jorah Mormont was a member of the Round Table of the Holy City of the Dothraki people.
Varys is shrewd enough to ask Daenerys not to break the rules of the world of the Round Table, the Black and White House is the top killer organization, Aquaman is the most powerful commander of the naval fleet, and Will has extremely high prestige and far-reaching strategies in the two continents, and is also the first person to help restore order in the two continents. The Holy Inquisition Varys he founded was not well understood, but he was certainly not to be trifled with.
Even if all the land on the surface is obtained, as long as there are only one person in the Black and White House and the Holy Inquisition, Daenerys' life will be mortally threatened.
When the round table is established, the world will no longer rely on attacking cities and land to resolve contradictions and establish hegemony, but on the balance of power, and any one side will be devastating if it breaks the balance, and no one wants to gain power alone.
Varys's eyes are spicy, and he sees through the truth under the fog at a glance.
Jorah Mormont agreed.
The masked Quizz never spoke.
Quizz is Melisandre's sister, the priestess of the Red God, whose age is unspeakable, maybe four hundred years old, maybe a thousand years old, an unknown age, a mystery that cannot be explored.
"What do you say, Quixi?" Daenerys called Quixi.
"A meeting, Her Majesty. Quiz expressed his opinion simply and clearly.
"Alright, then I'll ask Lord Will for the murder of Rego at the meeting in Pantos. Daenerys said resolutely.
She thought that she had made another concession, and no longer demanded that all the people who killed Brother Lei be handed over, as long as they were the first to be evil.
Jon said, "Your Majesty, your dragon Drogon has killed Her Majesty Shireen Baratheon, what do you think the soldiers of the Seven Kingdoms will think? “
Daenerys is suffocated!
She looked at Jon, and Jon looked at her, "Your Majesty, don't go to war, the culprit in this matter is Arlene, we should go and catch her and give her to Will to be hanged, and no one else." ”
Varys was full of praise for Jon, Daenerys's words were dangerous, and Jon was sensible and restrained.
"Your Majesty, I think Jon's advice is good. ”
"But Arlene is a citizen of the Red God, and so am I, and we and Archpriest Bennero are slaves of the Red God. But still, I'm going to grab Aliane first and ask her why she did that. ”
Red God Servant?!Also Red God Slave?!
Varys was stunned!
Jorah Mormont was also surprised.
The Dothraki raised their scimitars and shouted their might.
Under Drogo's influence, the belief in the Red God has spread throughout the Dothraki steppe.
Quixi is Melisandre's senior sister and naturally a believer in the Red God, her eyes flickering and her gaze as bright as flames.
"Do we go to Braavos for help and ask the Sea King to send a fleet to pick us up, or do we go to the East China Sea, where there are still ships, but there are no more fleet members. Jon said.
"Go to Braavos. Daenerys said.
She needs to communicate with Aquaman and the House of Black and White about White Harbor and the subsequent conflict first, and get their votes in favor before she can get multiple votes in the roundtable.

King's Landing. Prime Minister's Tower. Night.
"Little Will, have you seen who is the murderer of White Harbor?"
Will nodded.
"Who?"
"............" Little Will looked at his father and did not answer.
"Why don't you speak, what is taboo?"
"Father, to the south of the continent of Essos, there is a larger continent, the continent of Thothros. ”
"Yes, I know, the city of Quells is mostly trading with the continent of Thros. ”
"It's a continent inhabited by gods, father. “
"Gods? There are gods in our continent, there are gods in the Essos continent, and there are gods in every continent. ”
"No, have you seen the gods of Westeros?"
"............" Will said.
"Whether it's the Red God or the Cold God, have you seen it?"
"Nope. ”
"Melisandre, Bennero, Black and White, Strangers, these people and organizations are the closest to the gods, but they have not seen them. ”
"In Sothros, can you see the gods?"
"Yes, there are many sacred mountains there, and there are gods living on them. What happened on the continent of Westeros was nothing more than the impact projected by the shadows of the gods. ”
"So we're just toys for the gods of the continent of Thross. ”
"Chess pieces. ”
Will was silent for a long time: "Little Will, so our fight is actually pointless?"
"No, it won't. ”
"Why do you say that?"
"God cannot control the will of the world, but can only follow the trend. ”
"Then, let's not talk about the gods of the Sothros continent, I still want to know who the murderer of White Harbor is. ”
"On the surface, it's Arrene Martell. ”
"Arlene?" said Will, "she's just a little ant that I deliberately missed between my fingers. ”
"Little Ant is already the biggest pirate king in the Stone Steps Islands. ”
"Where is she now?"
"She has taken over the city of Halberd, driven out Chief Michiro, and is planning to reclaim Dorne step by step. ”
"She can't get Dorne back, the system has changed, the people won't support her, no people will want to give back the land they've got, and they'll not be willing to give back the coins they've got. ”
"Then she'll slaughter in pirate fashion. ”
"Slaughtering one's former people is even more self-destructive. The Martell family's millennial legacy in Dorne came to an end. The people of Dorne will rise up against her and send her to the gallows. ”
"If we hadn't intervened, this would have happened to Arlene. But the people of Dorne will also bleed before they send her to the gallows. ”
"I will gather my soldiers to Dorne. ”
"Father, maybe we don't need to gather soldiers at all. ”
"Send a killer?"
"You don't have to send killers. ”
"So how?"
"Just send someone to tell the people of Dorn that they should rise up against Alen, that the land and power belong to the people, and no one else has the right to take them. ”
"Inform the prefect?"
"Yes, the best thing to do is for a raven to send a raven to the Old Town School and tell all the Fellows of Dorne about it, and the Fellows will say that Alen and his pirate army will be caught in a national battle. When the Martell family and the people are completely reduced to enemies, they will never have a chance to turn back. ”
"The people will be bloodied. ”
"If someone supports it, it won't, and it won't be if the scholars and the magistrates are notified in advance to rise up and resist. ”
"Billalyn made the first move. ”
"Yes!"
"I still want to go in person. ”
"You can go, but without dragons and griffins, it's too late for you to go. There's something in the Old Town School, there's an old man, maybe you should go and see it. ”
"What is it, what old man?" Will already vaguely knew what it was and who it was, but what that thing could do, Will didn't know. Everything that I knew about this world before crossing now seems to be scratching the surface.
"Father, do you know about glass that burns?"
"I don't know, but I've heard of it. “
Little Will's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness.
But the world is mysterious, and my father is also the patron of the god of time and space, and has learned the vision of green, so maybe he heard some mysterious voices.
"A burning glass lamp, the wick and the polish are made of glass, and the burning flame is also glass. The Faceless Ones set out from the Isle of the Gods and crossed the sea to Old Town, where they went to the Church of the Stars to capture the glass lamp. ”
"If the Faceless Man had made a move, they would have taken it. ”
"You can do the same, Father. ”
"Why should I make a move?" this is what Will didn't know before he crossed over. He knew that there was a mysterious glass lamp locked in the treasure chest of a scholar in the Starry Sanctuary in Old Town, and that the burning of the glass lamp had never been extinguished, but what the purpose of that lamp was, Will didn't know.
"Why are we fighting the Wraiths, why are you gathering the forces of the Seven Kingdoms and even the Essos Continent to fight the Wraiths, why are we going to the Land of Eternal Winter to kill the Night King?"
"Protecting that glass lamp is the same as killing the Night King?"
"It means more than killing the Night King. “
Will was silent for a long time: "Who is the Faceless One sent by the Black and White Academy?"
"Yes, your best friend, Main!"
