Varys came to see Aitch alone, and it is unknown how many of Varys' men lurked outside.Aitch gave Varys a letter of introduction from Illyrio, the governor of Pantos.Varys and Illyrio are old friends, Varys was a thief back then, Illyrio was a mercenary, one of them stole things, the other sold stolen goods, and they worked together to start a business, which is why these two people have achieved their current achievements.Varys read Illyrio's letter of introduction, and realized that the person in front of him was Aitch, the lord of Fort Herald.
Downton.Varys has been collecting information about Edge, and has not received any news of Edge's departure from Essos (they have always taken the portal), so he has not guessed Edge's identity before.Varys' intelligence network is spread across Westeros, which is why in the original books, when Catelyn left Winterfell, Varys and Baerichy were aware of Catelyn's arrival.Because it was easy to tell that the Duchess of Winterfell was not in Winterfell, and because someone saw her direction, it was easy to roughly deduce where she was going and when she would arrive.Aitch was different, as Aitch had been through the portal, and by the time the spies learned that Aitch was not at Fort Herald, Aitch had already arrived at his destination.And Aitch is often not in Fort Herald, because Aitch has several planes to deal with, and sometimes has to explore new planes, so Aitch's whereabouts are the most difficult to guess.Now that he knew about Edge, Varys was conflicted.On the one hand, Aitch and Daenerys have a marriage contract, and Varys wants to protect the Targaryen siblings, so Aitch belongs to "his own people"; On the other hand, Varys hates magic, and all the information gathered indicates that Aitch is a person who is proficient in magic, so Varys is now feeling entangled.Aitch saw Varys' struggle, and after the two sat down, Aitch began to persuade: "I understand your aversion to magic, and I understand you, so I still want to talk to you seriously even though I know my identity as a magician."
Magic itself is not evil, magic is still a tool after all, just like the sword.The fact that far more people die under the sword each year than those who are harmed by magic does not mean that the sword itself is sinful, but that it is the person who uses the sword that is sinful.The third-rate mages who inflicted damage on you used sacrificial blood magic, a form of magic that is often considered heretical even among mages.In the previous centuries, the world's magic was inactive, magic was in an inert state, and mages who lacked the right way to cast spells had difficulty mobilizing magical energy, and many of them turned to seek help from outside objects, among which the use of blood magic to sacrifice to certain beings became an option.Blood magic is also very popular in the belief of the Lord of Light, and some high-level sacrifices are even proud of it, relying on sacrificing living creatures or some valuable things to the Lord of Light, so as to obtain some magical effects.You are one of the victims of this trend, and the voice you hear is also there.But don't worry, although such an existence is real, it is difficult to directly affect the human world.I'm here just to show my kindness and to say that I hate this kind of magic.I'm committed to studying the true meaning of magic and using it for the benefit of our country, at least we won't use magic to harm others, and you must know this from your intelligence.Although I know that it is difficult to soothe the pain in your heart, I ask you to accept my kind gift. ”As he spoke, Aitch opened the wooden box that had been prepared, and inside was the old magician who had harmed Varys who had been tied up in a ball.Varys received a lot of news at once and was savoring it.Aitch also knew that it would be difficult to recruit Varys now, but when the curtain of war opened, the more Varys had fewer options in the future, and I was afraid that in the end, he could only throw himself under Edge's command, so Aitch came in advance to eliminate the mustard in Varys's heart, and laid the groundwork for subduing him in the future.Eventually, Varys and Aitch negotiated, and Varys at least put aside some prejudices on the surface and agreed to some cooperation with Aitch, while Aitch asked Varys to send a message to Ed.
Duke Stark, please come here and meet with Edge.Varys agreed, left, and sent his men to carry the old mage away, not caring what would happen to him.Varys's work efficiency was still very high, and the next afternoon, Ed.
Stark led his men to Edge's stronghold.Duke Stark, who had just sent his wife out of King's Landing a few days earlier, learned what was going on at home, and as soon as he heard that the man who had healed his son Bran was looking for him, he immediately came to visit Aitch and thanked him.Aitch asked Eddard to get all his men to step down, and after using the magic "DetectLife" to make sure that no one was approaching, he began to talk to Duke Stark: "Lord Duke, I am the lord of the Herald Fort in the Essos region, and I am also Daenerys.
Targaryen's betrothed.Thank you so much for taking care of me and Daenerys' nephew Jon all these years, and although Jon himself is your nephew, I still thank you for protecting him from King Rauber's killing. ”Ed.
When Stark heard this, he felt like three souls had run from the top of his head, and seven souls had walked under his feet, like five thunderbolts.This is the biggest secret in Ed's life, only himself and his best friend Holland?
Reed and the others knew that Ed hadn't even told his wife, and although this had led to his wife's constant hostility towards Jon, Ed had to do so in order to protect Jon and his family.And Ed believed that Horan would not tell anyone else about it, so after Edge's sudden revelation of Jon's true identity, Ed was at a loss, if Ed didn't know that the person in front of him was his benefactor and was said to have magical powers, the always upright Duke Stark might have the idea of killing people.Aitch watched the bewildered Duke Stark for a moment's time, until the Duke regained his composure and asked Edge, "How did you know about this?"
What is your purpose?
”Aitch certainly can't say that I've watched seven seasons of the TV series and the basic original books, so Aitch said, "I'm a Green Prophet (although the abilities are copied from your second son), so I can explore the past."
No outsiders know about this matter (Maester Aemon is your nephew's great-uncle, so he is not an outsider at will), and no outsiders will know about it (in the future, your second son will see it with his own green vision, but he is not an outsider; And I'm sure I'll have to tell Daenerys later, but she's Jon's aunt, so she doesn't have to worry.As for my purpose, it's nothing, I'm just for your nephew to have a better future. ”Ed steadied himself and continued to ask Edge, "So what are your plans for Jon?"
He's joined the Night's Watch now and won't be coming back to Westeros. ”Aitch laughed, "I'm not going to use Jon's status to get involved in this Westeros mess (I have the method), and from my point of view, I don't really want someone with a higher inheritance than Daenerys to show up."
So, you don't have to worry that I'm going to use Jon's identity to make a fuss, I'm all about Jon being able to have a better future this time. ”Duke Stark reassured himself and listened to Aitch continue to explain.However, Eddard did not expect it, and Edge's proposal later surprised Stark.
