“This is indeed different from what we know about the prophecy, but it is consistent with historical facts.”

Longzel frowned and said, "Are you sure you saw two people pulling out the Lightbringer in the flames?"

Longzel was not surprised that there were multiple people responding to the prophecy, because history had proven that there was more than one person who prophesied. There was more than one Azor Ahai who ended the last long night, so it was normal that there was more than one "prince in the prophecy" who would end this long night.

But it was so clearly stated that two people would draw their swords. This was indeed inconsistent with Longzel's usual impression of prophecy, especially the fire prophecy magic. Except for the fire prophecy guided by large-scale sacrifices in conjunction with blood magic, the rest of the fire prophecies have always tested the magician's own ability to interpret, rather than the accuracy of the prophecy.

"Certainly," Melisandre said without hesitation.

"Okay then." Longzel nodded.

The red witch was stunned for a moment, then she let out a long breath. During the years she was trapped underground, she also got to know this inhuman prince. As she had deduced over the years, Longzel had almost no hesitation or doubt that a human would have when facing the unknown. Compared to humans, he thought more like a god in the eyes of mortals.

"Melisandre, do you remember your mission?"

"I have never forgotten, Your Highness." Melisandre looked at Longzel, who suddenly became serious, and seemed to realize the reason why Longzel came to find her this time: "It is less than a hundred years before the end of the world."

"My life span has come to an end, Melisandre." Longzel stretched out his hand and brushed the hot stone wall. "In two or three years, if I don't use magic to prolong my life, I will find it difficult to maintain my current energy. At that time, I will bury myself under the dragon's nest according to the previous plan."

Melisandre bowed her head.

She knew exactly what Longzel meant. As a magician "given by God", the ruby ​​that embodied the "will" or "divine power" of the "Lord of Light", that is, the Song of Fire that was enriched in Asia, guaranteed her longevity, but that was all. If the Song of Fire stopped and the fire magic faded, she would lose all ability to cast spells.

It was Longzel and his team who changed the situation and changed everything.

Although magic has declined a lot, at least it has not completely declined, and those powerful magicians have not been forced to sleep or become mortals.

"The world will remember you, Your Highness."

"The conflicts in the royal family can no longer be suppressed. Aemon is loyal, Aerion is hot-tempered, and Maegon is incompetent. Aegon's body will not live for many more years. The illegitimate children have their own plans. The kingdom is full of conflicts over the conquests. After I leave, King Aegon will hardly be able to hold on for a few years. If one or two more royal elders die, the situation will change dramatically."

Longzel didn't mind Melisandre knowing this.

"If necessary, I will use magic to solve the royal family's problems." Melisandre came closer: "Prince Lingol and Prince Igor have inherited your greatest bloodline. They can create shadows that can break through all magical barriers and kill anyone."

"No need." Longzel looked at Melisandre. He was very satisfied with the red-robed woman's understanding. "The royal bloodline also retains the possibility of the prophesied prince. The Vareses family also needs to further expand its power. Igor has the ambition and ability to do so. He is very suitable to be Daeron's prime minister." Longzel paused and said, "The only prime minister."

"I understand what you mean."

How could Melisandre not understand what Longzier meant? As a powerful shadowbinder and fire mage, Melisandre could fill the gap left by the Varese magicians after Longzier's death. Although she was not as good as Longzier, it was very important to have a magic advisor who could live until the end of the world.

"I swear in the name of R'hllor, the Lord of Light." Melisandre swore solemnly.

A vow sworn in fire and blood. Never broken.

Longzel nodded with satisfaction.

Black Palace, secret room.

Igor looked with interest at Garin Dragonheart, a member of the Royal Dragon Knights who had established contact with the Varese family a long time ago.

After riding on the dragon, Garin, Benson, and the severely burned Garins did win people's awe.

But still not respected.

The court officials said behind their backs that they were "mud legs sitting on the golden chair".

The royal family also looked at them cautiously.

Aemon and Aerion did not trust them, and only the naive and romantic little crown prince was polite to them.

But prejudice in people's hearts is as huge as a mountain. No one knows whether the little crown prince's politeness comes from family affection or from power and strength.

For a dragon knight, only the dragon under his crotch is worthy of trust.

"Gellins' injuries have not healed yet, and Jed Olins is just too violent."

Garin, who had come to the Black Palace through the secret passage in disguise, said with some fear: "Even if Garin's target was not Jade Olins, he and his dragon were attacked. If it weren't for His Highness Aemon and us, I'm afraid Garin's dragons would not have survived."

"Tell me about your other brother and the royal family's next plan." Igor smiled and pushed the box in his hand to Galen.

Garin opened the box with a smile, took out the contents, and placed them carefully on his chest.

"Benson is a stubborn guy. He doesn't trust anyone, even me and the King. Compared to us, he prefers to act alone, even Crown Prince Darren. To be honest, Crown Prince Darren is a good boy. If we are really brothers, such a kind brother and future head of the family will be the greatest fortune of the family. But Benson is also alienated from Crown Prince Darren. He is not even willing to act with us. His favorite thing is to patrol Blackwater Bay. In terms of the ability to fight on the back of a dragon, he is much better than me."

Igor was not surprised by Garin's information. If he had not already obtained the information of the Royal Dragon Knights, he would not have asked Garin for confirmation.

"There are only a few of our illegitimate brothers left now, and one of them is very interesting." Garin thought for a moment and continued, "Aegor Rivers, the illegitimate son of the Bracken family, is a very interesting child. If I am not mistaken, his target from the beginning was the sheep thief, the huge old dragon."

Galen said with certainty: "From the moment he secretly bought sheep and sent them to the dragon's lair, everyone knew which dragon he was targeting. He was a sheep thief, but where did he get the courage to do that?"

A strange light flashed in Igor's eyes.
