Eddard Stark and Melisandre didn't speak, but made eye contact, and it became clear that Melisandre had made up her mind to demolish the Sanctuary, bulldoze the Sacred Grove, and build her Red Temple.
In this way, Eddard Stark's prophecy was only half accurate, and the other part was frustrated.
The strength of her faith is strong, but it gives Eddard Stark a little confusion: whether her main goal is to deal with the ancient gods or to promote the belief of the Red God? If the main goal is to promote the faith and attract followers, it is of course best to be around Stannis I.
In the world, of course, the influence of the king is enormous.
As for the real ice and fire, it is like the forging of a sword, at the beginning, it is just an inconspicuous iron billet, and it is still far from becoming a good sword.

Underground of the Red Fort, death row.
"Hey!"
In the light of a torch, a man wrapped himself in a black robe made a soft voice.
Varys looked up, his pink face and smooth hands still so white, but his expression was haggard and his face was gloomy.
"Whoa. "Varys has always had good eyesight, but he can't tell who it is.
"Think of your head being chopped off by Stannis I and stuck in the tip of a spear, oh, a little unthinkable. The visitor teased, but the voice was unfamiliar.
"Indeed, I don't dare to think about it. ”
"Stannis has the red-robed woman by his side, and you octopus spider seems to be useless. ”
"The flames may be able to see some secrets, but only a limited part. Varys said, "My lord, if you can get me out, I think I'll be useful to you." ”
Varys took the risk and gambled without knowing who the other party was.
Stannis is definitely not a soft-handed man, he is known for his stubbornness and toughness in the Seven Kingdoms. What he has decided is very difficult to change, not to mention that he is now the king of the Seven Kingdoms, and he is no longer the lord of Dragonstone Island who is bound by Robert.
"Give me some useful information, and maybe I'll get you out. ”
"When adults talk about how to get me out, when I am happy, I think of a lot of interesting things. I think there are always things that adults are interested in. ”
"Oh, it's easy, look what it is?" the man took out a cloth bag from his bosom and opened it, and in the light of the fire, Varys could tell that it was a jailer's outfit.
"Swap you with the jailer who brought me in just now, and you'll get out." The visitor grinned.
Varys' face suddenly lit up.
It's a great idea.
"What do you want to know?"
"Jaime Lannister. The person said.
"Oh, a little bird said that he was trained in killing skills in Braavos' Black and White Academy, and in addition to taking on missions to kill, usually, in Braavos, he doesn't like to hide his true colors. His pride is as good as his bravery. ”
"Braavos Black and White? ”
"Pretty sure. One day a few months ago, he wore a golden armor and a golden sword at his waist and swaggered into the black and white courtyard of Braavos, without any disguise, as if he had walked into his courtyard in Castle Rock. In that vicinity, anyone with eyes can see. ”
"Oh, that's good news. So, what is the situation of Viserys and Daenerys, who live in the house of Illyrio Mopatis, the governor of Pantos?"
Varys' eyes narrowed imperceptibly, and he raised his hand to pretend to wipe his eyes, as if the light of the torch had a slight irritation to his eyes in the darkness.
The other party knew about Illyrio, which was not a good sign, and made Varys feel quite uneasy.
"Back to my lord, King Robert revoked the secret killing order before his death, and the order was timely, and the killer's poisoned wine was withdrawn in time at the wedding of Daenerys and the Dothraki of Drogo Kao. ”
The man in black smiled, meaningful.
Cold sweat slowly ran down Varys' back.
Who is this person?
It seems that nothing can be hidden from him.
Did the Red Witch see something in the flames again?
Varys is conceited and clever, and his little birds are all over the six kingdoms of Westeros, but the cold lands of the north are much weaker. For the Narrow Sea trading city-state he started, his little birds never stopped. But now, he has the ridiculous feeling that the other party has penetrated everything.
"How long have Daenerys and Drogo Kao been married?"
"It's been almost two months. ”
"Oh, you said that the poisoned wine was withdrawn at the wedding, and that Daenerys and Drogo had been married for almost two months? Well, I've decided to take it back and let King Stannis cut off your fat head. ”
"No, no, no, sir. Daenerys and Drogo Kao had two weddings. The first time was at the Great Red Temple, according to the wedding customs of the Targaryens. Daenerys was said to have refused to lower the status of the Targaryens, so the first wedding with Drogo Kao was held in the Great Red Temple next to Illyrio's house. ”
"Oh?!" the news moved the hearts of the black-clothed people. In the world architecture he knew, Daenerys's marriage trajectory was not like this.
"The second time, not so long ago, on the plains outside the city of Pantos, a wedding was held according to the wedding customs of the Dothraki people. ”
"Oh, and since your guys are in charge of the drinks at the wedding, did Illyrio give Daenerys three dragon eggs as a wedding gift?"
"No, my lord, there are no dragon eggs. ”
The man in black moved obviously, and his voice became slightly sharper: "How is it possible that there are no dragon eggs?"
Beads of sweat broke out on Varys' forehead and the tip of his nose, and he knew even Illyrio's dragon egg, who he really was? Illyrio's dragon egg was known only to close friends. A dragon egg is worth a lot of money.
But whoever he was, what if he could get himself out? Otherwise, he wouldn't have to prepare this jailer's outfit.
"My lord, Illyrio's dragon egg has been stolen. ”
The man in black muttered something that Varys didn't understand, but he could hear the shock and resentment in his voice.
Who is this man in black?
Illyrio's dragon egg was stolen as if his treasure had been stolen.
"You cross the Narrow Sea, and you must ask Illyrio to offer a high price and buy back the dragon egg. No matter how much money you have, you must buy back the dragon eggs. The man in black's voice had a commanding tone, faintly revealing a hint of urgency.
This is an inexplicable order. This is even more of an incomprehensible person.
Varys was confused.
"Definitely, my lord, Varys swears in the name of the gods, old and new, that he will make Illyrio issue a bounty for the return of the dragon eggs at a high price. Varys swears.
Varys regretted his oath as soon as he swore it, and there was a loophole in this oath, if he didn't know Illyrio well, how could he let Illyrio buy back the dragon egg at a high price.
But the man in black doesn't seem to have any interest in this loophole, maybe he didn't notice it at all, but the biggest possibility is that the other party doesn't know his and Illyrio's secret at all.
"Varys, Daenerys is a true dragon, can hatch dragon eggs, raise real dragons, you must remember my words. She can hatch true dragons, and one day, you and Daenerys will cross the Narrow Sea with Dothraki and the Unsullied to reclaim the Iron Throne. But without the dragon, everything would have come to naught. ”
Varys remembered the Lord's words. Varys was suspicious, completely unclear who the other party was, and what he said was even more unbelievable, but he replied with great firmness and sincerity.
"Very well, I will get you out, but you must first take the oath to join the Inquisition. ”
"Yes, sir. When Varys heard the word "Inquisition" for the first time, he chuckled in his heart, he knew nothing about the Inquisition. On the continent of Westeros, there is a secret organization that the octopus spider has not heard of, he can't believe it. - But life is at stake, he did not hesitate, knelt on one knee, and touched his chest with his reverent left hand, "My lord, I, Varys, swear in the name of the gods of old and new, join the Holy Church, and never break my vows. ”
"Okay, I'm the Holy Inquisition's Silver Radiant Judge, and you recite the oath with me!"
"Yes, sir. ”
