A Song of Ice and Fire: The Magic Empire of the Plane Where the Song Begins

Varys came to see Aiki alone. As for how many Varys' subordinates were lurking outside, he didn't know.

Edge gave Varys a letter of introduction from Illyrio, the governor of Pentos. Varys and Illyrio are old friends. Back then Varys was a thief and Illyrio was a mercenary. One of them stole things and the other sold the stolen goods.

Varys read Illyrio's letter of introduction, and then he understood that the person in front of him was the lord of Herald Fort, Aiki Downton. Varys has been collecting information about Aiqi, and has not received news of Aiqi's departure from Essos before (people always go through the portal), so he did not guess Aiqi's identity before.

Varys' intelligence network is all over Westeros, which is why in the original book, when Catelyn left Winterfell, Varys and Baelish knew of Catelyn's arrival.

Because it is easy to find out that the Duchess of Winterfell is not in Winterfell, and someone sees where she is going, it is easy to infer where she is going and when she will arrive.

Aiki was different. Aiki kept walking through the portal. When the spies learned that Aiki was not in the Herald Fort, Aki had already arrived at his destination. Moreover, Aiqi is often not in the Herald Castle, because Aiqi has several planes to deal with, and sometimes he has to explore new planes, so Aiqi's whereabouts are the most difficult to speculate.

Now that he knew about Aiqi, Varys felt conflicted. On the one hand, Aiki and Daenerys are engaged, and Varys wants to protect the Targaryen siblings, so Aiqi belongs to "my own"; on the other hand, Varys hates magic, and all the information collected shows that Aiqi is a proficient Magical people, so Varys is tangled right now.

Aiqi saw Varys' tangle. After the two were seated, Aiqi began to persuade:

"I understand your distaste for magic, and I understand you very well, so knowing my identity as a magician, I still want to have a serious talk with you.

Magic itself does not represent evil. Magic is just a tool after all, just like the sword.

The number of people who die under the sword every year is far more than the number of people injured by magic. This does not mean that the sword itself is sinful, it is the person who uses the sword who is sinful.

The third-rate mages who caused you harm back then used blood sacrifice magic, which is often regarded as a heresy even among mages.

In the past few hundred years, magic in the world was inactive, and magic was in an inert state. It was difficult for magicians who lacked the correct spellcasting method to mobilize magic energy. Many of them began to look for help from foreign objects. Among them, blood magic was used. Sacrifice to certain beings becomes a choice.

Nowadays, blood magic is also very popular in the belief of the Lord of Light. Some high-level priests even take pride in it, and obtain some magical effects by sacrificing living creatures or some valuable things to the Lord of Light.

You are one of the victims of this trend, and the voice you hear is like this. But don't worry, although such an existence is real, it is difficult to directly affect the world.

I came here just to express my kindness, and at the same time to declare that I also hate this kind of magic.

The wizards of Winterhold and I are committed to researching the true meaning of magic and using magic to benefit the country. At least we will not use magic to harm others. You must have recognized this from your intelligence.

Although I know it is difficult to heal the pain in your heart, please accept my gift of kindness. "

With that said, Aiqi opened the wooden box that had been prepared, and inside was the old magician who was tied into a ball when he hurt Varys. Varys received a lot of news all at once, and is experiencing it carefully.

Aiqi also knows that it is difficult to recruit Varys now, but when the curtain of the war opens, Varys will have fewer choices as he goes on. I am afraid that in the end, he can only vote under Aiqi's command, so Aiqi came in advance to give him. Varys's heart dispelled the grievances, and laid a foreshadowing in order to subdue him in the future.

In the end, Varys and Aiqi negotiated. Varys at least put aside some prejudices on the bright side, and agreed to cooperate with Aiqi in some reports. At the same time, Aiqi asked Varys to pass a message to Duke Eddard Stark, please The Duke is here to meet Edge.

Varys agreed and left, and sent his men to carry the old magician away. As for what to do with him, Edge didn't care.

Varys's work efficiency is still very high. In the afternoon of the next day, Eddard Stark brought his men to Aiki's stronghold.

Duke Stark just sent his wife away from King's Landing a few days ago, and he knew what happened at home. As soon as he heard that the man who had healed his son Bran was looking for him, he immediately came to visit Aiqi and expressed his gratitude.

Edge asked Ed to let all his men back off, and used the magic "DetectLife" to make sure no one was approaching before he started talking to Duke Stark:

"Lord Duke, I am the lord of Herald Castle in the Essos region and the betrothed of Daenerys Targaryen. Thank you very much for taking care of me and Daenerys' nephew Jon over the years, although Joan En himself is your nephew, and I still thank you for protecting him from King Lauber's murder."

After Eddard Stark heard these words, he felt that three souls had run away from the top of his head, and seven souls had walked under his feet, like five thunders hitting the top. This is Ed's biggest secret in his life. Only he and his close friend Holland Reed know it. Ed didn't even tell his wife. Although this also caused his wife to be hostile to Jon all the time, in order to protect him Jon and his family, Eddard had to.

And Ed believed that Holland would not tell anyone else about this, so Jon’s true identity was revealed at once in Aiqi, Ed was at a loss, if it weren’t for Ed Knowing that the person in front of him is his benefactor and is said to have magical powers, Duke Stark, who has always been upright, may have the idea of ​​killing people.

Edge looked at the bewildered Duke of Stark in a good mood, until the Duke regained his composure and asked Edge:

"How did you know about this? What's your purpose?"

Of course Aiqi can't say that I watched seven seasons of TV series and the basic books, so Aiqi said:

"I am a Green Prophet (although the ability is copied from your second son), so I can explore the past. This matter is still unknown to outsiders (Maester Aemon is your nephew's great-uncle, so it is not an outsider at will), nor Some outsiders will know (in the future, your second son will see it with his green vision, but he is not an outsider; and you must tell Daenerys in the future, but she is Jon's aunt, so she is not an outsider), So you don't have to worry.

As for my purpose, it's nothing, I just want your nephew to have a better future. "

Ed stabilized his mind and continued to ask Aiqi:

"Then what are your plans for Jon? He's joined the Night's Watch now and won't be back for Westeros."

Aiqi smiled and said:

"I'm not going to use Jon's identity to meddle with the Westeros mess (I have a way), and from my perspective, I don't really want someone with a higher inheritance than Daenerys to show up. So, you don't have to worry that I will use Jon's identity to make a fuss, this time is all for Jon to have a better future."

Only then did Duke Stark feel at ease and listen to Edge continue to explain. But Ed didn't expect it, and Aiki's proposal later surprised Stark even more.
