Varys came to see Ai Qi alone, and it is not known how many Varys' men are lurking outside.

Archie gave Varys a letter of introduction from Governor Illyrio of Pentos. Varys and Illyrio are old friends. Back then, Varys was a thief and Illyrio was a mercenary. The two of them stole things while the other sold stolen goods. They worked together to start a business together, which is why the two have achieved what they are now.

After reading Illyrio's letter of introduction, Varys realized that the person in front of him was Archie Downton, the lord of the Herald Castle. Varys has been collecting Aiqi's information, and has not received the news that Aiqi left Essos before (they have always used the portal), so they did not guess Aiqi's identity before.

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

Because it was easy to find out that the Duchess of Winterfell was not in Winterfell, and someone saw her direction of travel, so it was easy to roughly deduce where she was going and when she would arrive.

But Aiqi is different. Aiqi has been walking through the portal. When the spies learned that Aiqi was not in the Fort Pioneer, Aiqi had already arrived at his destination. Moreover, Aiqi is often not in Fort Pioneer, because Aiqi needs to deal with several planes, and sometimes has to explore new planes, so Aiqi's whereabouts are the most difficult to guess.

Now knowing Ai Qi, Varys feels very conflicted. On the one hand, Archie has a marriage contract with Daenerys, and Varys wants to protect the Targaryen brothers and sisters, so Archie belongs to his own people; on the other hand, Varys hates magic, and all the information collected shows that Archie is a proficient People of magic, so Varys feels very tangled now.

Ai Qi saw Varys' entanglement, and after the two sat down, Ai Qi began to persuade:

I understand your aversion to 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 swords.

The number of people who die by the sword every year far exceeds the number of people injured by magic. This does not mean that the sword itself is evil, but the person who uses the sword is evil.

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

In the past few hundred years, the world's magic was inactive, and magic was in an inert state. It was difficult for magicians who lacked the correct method of casting magic to mobilize magic energy. Many of them turned to looking for help from foreign objects, among them, using blood magic Sacrifice to certain beings becomes a choice.

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

You are one of the victims of this trend, and the voice you hear is also such an existence. 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 goodwill, and at the same time declare that I also hate this type of magic.

The mages of Winterhold and I are committed to studying the true meaning of magic and using magic to benefit the country. At least we will not use magic to harm others wantonly, and you must have realized this from your information.

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

Saying that, Ai Qi opened the wooden box that had been prepared earlier, and inside was the old magician who was bundled into a ball and hurt Varys. Varys received a lot of news at once, and was understanding it carefully.

Aiqi also knows that it is difficult to recruit Varys now, but when the war begins, Varys will have fewer choices in the future. I am afraid that he can only vote under Aiqi's command in the end, so Aiqi came in advance to give Varys's heart was relieved,

Laying the groundwork for subduing him in the future.

In the end, Varys and Ayge reached an agreement, and Varys at least let go of some prejudice on the bright side, and agreed to cooperate with Ayge on some reports. At the same time, Ayge asked Varys to send a message to Duke Eddard Stark, please The duke came here to meet Ichi.

Varys left after agreeing, and sent his men to carry the old magician away. As for how he would be dealt with, Ai Qi didn't care.

Varys' work efficiency was still very high, and Ed Stark brought his men down to Ai Qi's stronghold in the afternoon of the second day.

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

Ai Qi asked Ed to let all his men back down, and used the magic Detect Life to make sure that no one was approaching before starting to talk to Duke Stark:

Your Excellency, I am the lord of the Herald Fort in the Essos region, and I am also the fiancé of Daenerys Targaryen. Thank you very much for taking care of me and Daenerys' nephew Jon over the years, although Joan Ern was your nephew in his own right, and I still thank you for protecting him from King Lauber.

After Ed Stark heard these words, he felt that three souls ran from the top of his head and seven souls from his feet, just like five thunders. This is the biggest secret in Ed's life. Only he and his best friend Holland Reed know about it. Ed didn't even tell his wife. Jon and his family, Ed had to.

And Ed believed that Holland would not tell other people about this, so Ai Qi revealed Jon's true identity at once, Ed was at a loss, if Ed didn't know that the person in front of him belonged to his family The benefactor is also said to have magical powers, and the always upright Duke Stark may have the idea of ​​killing people to silence him.

Ai Qi looked at the bewildered Duke of Stark on the side, until the Duke regained his composure and asked Ai Qi:

How did you know this? What is your purpose?

Of course, Aiqi cannot say that I have watched seven seasons of TV series and basic original books, so Aiqi said:

I'm a Greenseer (although the ability was copied from your second son), so I can explore the past. This is still unknown to outsiders (Maester Aemon is your nephew's great-grandfather, so feel free to count outsiders), nor Outsiders will know (in the future your second son will see it with green vision, but he is not an outsider; and Daenerys must be told 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 actually nothing, I just want your nephew to have a better future.

Ed stabilized his mind and continued to ask Ai Qi:

So what are your plans for Jon? He has joined the Night's Watch now, and he will not come back to participate in the affairs of Westeros.

Ai Qi laughed:

I'm not going to use Jon's identity to meddle in the mess of Westeros (I have ways to do it), and from my perspective, I don't really want someone who has 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 I am all for Jon to have a better future.

Only then did Duke Stark feel relieved, and listened to Ai Qi continue to explain. But Ed didn't expect it, and Ai Qi's proposal later made Stark even more unexpected.
