Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 239: Ice and Fire? The King of the First Men and the Dragon King of Valyria?
"So where is the compensation promised by the old gods?" Longzel asked with a sigh. "I hope my lovely daughter has not been diverted from her true purpose by those green elders."

Ringol shrugged. "Serena said in the letter that when she found out that the compensation promised by the old gods fell into Miss Melissa's stomach, she knew that the old gods and those who served the old gods were unreliable. She proudly said in the letter that she knew it would not work this time before that mysterious green elder opened his mouth."

"This kid is quite clear about this, brother." Rey smiled and said, "According to traditional theological theories, the power of the old gods has declined for too long. In other words, according to your theory, the song of earth and water representing the children of the forest has passed. In the song of ice and fire, they are no longer the dominant force."

"No, they are not that simple." Longzel stroked his long beard. "Rei, my father and I's theories are not completely accurate. My father relies on ancient legends and wild guesses, and I rely on magical prophecies and the revelations of the 'Gods'. However, prophecies are not clear-cut, and the future can still change. The 'Gods' are fickle, and they only compose music for the survival of the world. Keep going, Ringol."

"Under normal circumstances, when the originally trained green prophet cannot repay on time, the child promised by the Three-Eyed Raven should be separated from the torrent of fate. In fate, he is the blood of the king, the descendant of the Ancient King and the Dragon Blood King. He will inherit the green prophet's thousand-year mission and watch before the long night comes. He is the destined three-eyed crow, with one thousand and one eyes opening for him, allowing him to see all over the Seven Kingdoms, inside and outside the Great Wall. He should have responded in the blood of the family, but the green elder told Serena that the three-eyed crow saw the torrent of fate, and it dared not defy the influence of fate, or in other words..."

Ringol sighed, "Serena said she didn't understand the Green Man Elder's explanation, but she translated it and said that the magic of the Old Gods can no longer interfere with the course of fate, causing the 'destined Three-Eyed Raven' who should have been paid to us to descend into the bloodline of the King of the First Men and the Dragon King of Valyria according to the original destiny. Unfortunately, the family now has no descendants of the King of the First Men." Ringol couldn't help but look at Longzel.

There is actually someone in the family who meets this condition.

Longzier and his wife Diana are from the Tully family, whose bloodline can be traced back to the true king of the First Men, Garth the Greenhand.

But it didn't show up on Longzel.
Lingol said he couldn't understand it.

But there is one thing Ringol was not wrong about, that is, the illegitimate child in Miss Melissa's belly met this condition. According to the Green Man elders, the child came from the blood of Blackwood and Targaryen. In the history they told themselves, the Blackwood family had been king twice. In the Age of Heroes, the Blackwood family was the King of Wolfswood and ruled the primeval forest in the north. At that time, Blackwood, Stark, Bolton, the Marsh King, the First King and others ruled the vast land north of the Neck. After being expelled from the Neck by the kings of the North, the Blackwood family ruled the Trident River basin as the king of the First Men.
Blackwood's blood also runs through the veins of many kings of the Riverlands dynasties.

So Blackwood also meets the requirements of a First Men king.

Longzel closed his eyes, and the guesses in his mind became clearer again.

Ice and Fire. The King of the First Men and the Dragon King of Valyria. No, ice does not refer to the King of the First Men. The most prosperous era of the First Men, the music of A Song of Ice and Fire is still in the prologue. That era belonged to the earth, mountains, forests and rivers. It was the era of bronze and dragonglass.
It seems that if the prophecy that caused all the results today is to be responded to, it will ultimately fall on the Stark family, who meet the two conditions of representing "ice" and the king of the first men.

Longzel couldn't help but think of the secret history of the Stark family that Duke Cregan had told him.

Eight thousand years is too far away. Even if the maesters think it is not that long ago, the antiquity of the Stark family is beyond doubt. Even if the Stark family still exists today, their oldest records only exist in legends and nursery rhymes.
However, there are still some prophetic things passed down orally from generation to generation among the King of Winter, the King of the North, and the current Duke of Winterfell and the Guardian of the North.

Such as the legend of the White Walkers, the warning of the coming Long Night, and the problems within the Stark bloodline.

Duke Creggan only roughly knew that the Night King, who had a pale and cold woman as his queen, was most likely a member of the Stark family sent to the Wall. He also didn't know the true identity of the Night King. But the family's word of mouth left him with the impression that "there is something wrong with the Stark bloodline". And the strange funeral customs in the cellar of Winterfell.

This is indeed strange.

Longzel opened his eyes: "Did Serena go to Harrenhal?"

Ringol nodded. "Serena asked us to keep Orion under control at the end of the letter. She was worried that Orion would not be able to help but support Dan and Jie. But because of the nonsense of the green elder, she had to go to Harrenhal to take care of Melissa. I hope that the child is really like what those worshippers of the old gods said."

Ringol knew that his father would definitely understand his hidden meaning.

The worshippers of the old gods dare not offend Longzel, and they will definitely try their best to reverse the outcome.

That child will inevitably be close to the Varese family.
hope so.

The second generation of the Vareses family is not completely in their own small world of Dragon's Nest. They have their own lives and social circles. Ringol has a very good relationship with the nobles of the borderland and Asulekao, and he is very comfortable in the noble circle of Dragon's Nest. Jacaerys mingles among the knights wandering in the borderland. Dan can always catch Jacaerys drinking with the knights in the taverns of Midsummer Hall and Silver Crown City with Lady Helena. Dan and Regen are relatively not so good at socializing. Compared with external socializing, Dan prefers to stay with his family, and Serena has a large and complicated network of relationships. The most beautiful daughter of the Vareses family likes to hold parties in her villas in several major cities in the borderland, inviting girls and ladies who have close relationships with the Vareses family to come and play. Miss Melissa Blackwood is one of her close friends.

These noble ladies often hold parties, and Serena is always the most dazzling one among them.

Her villa had even been built as far as White Harbor.

After all, it is the "Light of the Frontier".

"Tell Serena to adapt to the situation." Longzel said with a smile: "Tell her that her father believes in her."

I am too busy today, so I can only update once. The good news is that I can finish the preliminary work by Monday at the earliest, and once I finalize the topic in mid-December, there won’t be so much to do.
