Tyrion Dragon Hunting Journey 6: Interpretation of the prophecy of the red-robed monk, you are roaring among the dragons

"Master of Fragrance"

Jorah the Bear, The Little Devil Tyrion and the female dwarf Fenni board a Volantis merchant ship, the ship named "Sethra Coholland" , meaning "master of fragrances". The ship's destination was Qarth, but the Waterside Widow had told them that Benello, the High Priest of R'hllor, had predicted that the ship would never reach Qarth. Along with Tyrion and the others were the red-robed monk Maqiro and his guards.

"...By the way, is this 'Sethra Coholland' the name of the consul or the name of the turtle?"

The red-robed monk chuckled: "Neither. 'Coholland' means...not a ruler, but a person who serves, assists, and advises the ruler. You Westeros call such a person a steward or a maester. "

or the hand of the king? interesting. "And what about 'Sezra'?"

Marchero bumped his nose. "It means 'comfortable smell'. Would it be 'scented' or 'flowery' in Westeros?"

"So 'Sethra Coholland' combined is the smelly housekeeper, Right?"

"Ha, I think it's the 'Fenxiang's manager'."

——At this point, I am afraid everyone remembers the prophecy and warning given to Daenerys by the masked girl Kuixi.

"The glass candle is lit, the pale mare is coming, and the rest will follow. Sea monsters and black flames, lions and griffins, sun children and playwrights' dragons, believe not. Remember the immortal, and watch the fragrance The director of ."

This prophecy is still quite informative.

The glass candle , many people think it refers to the four obsidian candles kept in the Academy, this incident is mentioned in the prologue of Volume 4, and Sam saw it when he arrived at the Academy.But this may not have been the earliest lit glass candle. Back in Book Two, after Dany had set fire to the Temple of the Immortals, Xaro Xanwon Daxos of Qarth told her that the glass candles had rekindled. Pale mother horse, this clearly refers to the plague that broke out outside Meereen, nothing to say.

The Sea Monster, of course, that Victarion was ordered to propose to Dany on behalf of Euron the Crow's Eye; He took Victarion's ship and remade his robes, because there was no red fabric, but the black and gold of House Greyjoy, which the crew of Vita called the Black Flame.

The lion Tyrion, Griffin Griffin is Jon Clinton; Son of the sun Quentin Martell, his family emblem is the spear penetrating the sun; The dragon of the actor High probability refers to the small Aegon.

Martell's coat of arms

Finally speaking of our "Fragrant Master". The name of the ship is Martin's smoke bomb, and he's very good at it, just for you to guess. The first half of the sentence reminds Dany to "keep in mind the Immortal", I think it shows that this "master" is similar to the Immortal, that is, it will lure and use Dany with benefits, and eventually make Dany her own victim.

The wizards of Qarth introduce Dany into the Temple of the Immortals, the Immortals are actually "rotten" and their purpose is to drain Dany's life force. The "master" should be compared with it, and it is also a temptation and use for Danny. Therefore, the "master of Fenxiang" will most likely not be a ship, but a person. There are two qualified candidates for

: one is the head of Meereen Danni's court, the noble of Meereen Riznak; the second is the familiar octopus spider Eunuch Varys.To compare the two, I would choose Varys. The reason is very simple. Although Reznak is likely to be inseparable from the son of the harpy, but in terms of the depth of concealment and the large layout, this level is still not enough to see compared to Varys. (Poke here about Reznak:

Interpretation of Dragons

"It is said that the night is dark and sinister everywhere. What did you see in the flames?"

"Many dragons." Marchero used pure Westeros Common, replied that his Westeros was barely accented. No doubt that was why High Priest Benello chose him to bring R'hllor's Faith to Daenerys Targaryen 1. "There are old dragons and small dragons, real dragons and fake dragons, light dragons and dark dragons. I also saw you, but your small body casts a long shadow, and you roar among the dragons."

——Let's interpret these dragons first. (The following is only my personal opinion ) The word "dragon" in the

prophecy usually refers to people. The old dragon and the little dragon are very easy to understand. Currently, only Aemon can call it. It can be regarded as an "old dragon". Although the blood crow has the blood of the dragon family, it is an illegitimate child, so it needs to be investigated; Xiaolong, Danni, Jon Snow, and little Aegon are all considered. What is the standard? The blood of Targaryen? Can I become a dragon knight? The "dragon of the actor" was also mentioned in Kuixi's prophecy earlier, and "Blong" also appeared. These clues largely point to Xiao Yi Geng, this is also an important basis for judging Little Aegon as Black Fire.

Bright Dragon and Dark Dragon, many interpretations believe that the bright dragon is Danni, and the dark dragon Little Aegon is a metaphor for Black Fire. This point My opinion is a little different.

First of all, the prophets are likely to have their own positions.The masked female Kuixi seems to have a heart for Dany at least for now, so we speculate that she may have some origins with the Dragon family; and Red God believers like Maqi Luo will have their own color in the prophecy description.

In the King of Light belief, the light side is R'hllor, and the dark side is the ancient god. Does Melisandre really support Stannis? no. For Aunt Mei, she just firmly believed that Erlu was the chosen tool of the King of Light. In the same way, Daenerys is probably just the "tool of the Lord of Light" believed by the supreme priest of the Red Temple. Then rise to the height of religion, what is the dragon? Tool man's tool.

In the Lord of Light belief, light corresponds to the red god R'hllor, and darkness corresponds to his mortal enemy, the ancient god. So I understand that "Dragon of Light" refers to the dragon rider who can be used by the Lord of Light, while "Dark Dragon", on the contrary, is the Dragon rider who is used by the ancient gods.

Stannis, at least ostensibly, converted to the Red God belief, while Dany has no faith at the moment. So Marchero was ordered to "assist" her, to lead her to the King of Light, and to make her a tool of the King of Light. Quixe warns Dany to "believe nothing" because these people (the Kraken and the Blackflame, the Lion and the Griffon, the Son of the Sun and the Player's Dragon) actually have the ultimate aim of taking advantage of her. —Yes, including Tyrion.

So I think "Dragon of Light" refers to Daenerys who accepts R'hllor's Faith, while "Dragon of Darkness" has several uncertain possibilities. The biggest possibility is Euron the Crow's Eye. I don't need to say more about this man's evil. The key is that he is very likely to summon and control the dragon; the other possibility is Jon Snow. Possibly resurrected as a White Walker; he is of Targaryen blood (at least so far), and legend has it that there are dragons or dragon eggs under Winterfell; and there are legends of ice dragons in the far north.

Ice Dragon

You roar in the midst of the dragons

The family language of the lion family is "Listen to my roar", but the place where you roar is "in the midst of the dragons". —Martin's smoke bomb made us dizzy. The key debate in this prophecy is whether Tyrion is a lion or a dragon? The original text of the sentence

is as follows:

"A small man with a big shadow, snarling in the midst of all."

- Chinese translation into "small figure" is more literary, but it blurs the image . The original text clearly says "a small man", not "a little dragon man"!

The key meaning of this sentence is not whether Tyrion is a dragon, but that Tyrion will play a huge role in the "group of dragons". What's more interesting is the image of "small body, big shadow", which appears several times in Binghuo's novels.

"Oh, but I don't think Lord Tyrion is small at all," said the old maester seated at the end of the long table, and the senior officers of the Night's Watch fell silent immediately, listening intently to the elder's words. "He is a giant among us, a giant who has come to the end of the world."

- Maester Aemon (Game of Thrones).

"Strength is like a shadow on a wall, but shadows kill. And even small figures cast huge shadows."

- Varys (A Clash of Kings, Vol. 2).

Maester Aemon

The above two quotations happen to be from the "old dragon" Maester Aemon, and the (suspected) Black Fire Varys, both belong to the "Dragon Group"; Tyrion and Jon Snow became the With friends, Jon Snow has the blood of the Dragon family; the little devil in exile was sent to little Aegon's team, and little Aegon has a high probability of "fake dragon", "Bron", "dragon of the actor"; finally, Tyrion is about to meet To "True Dragon" Daenerys.

During Tyrion's acting prime minister, he worked happily with Varys, but he never really trusted him; although Tywin's death was done by the little devil himself, there was a shadow of a eunuch behind him. I'm curious when Tyrion was Will wake up, and then what to do; it was the Varys-Illyrio pair that pushed Tyrion to Young Aegon. These two people will meet again in the future, what kind of spark will there be?

Tyrion and Jon Snow will also meet again, not to mention me. Little Aegon temporarily abandoned the original goal of proposing to Dany and brought the Golden Corps to Westeros, which itself was a little devil's trick; I don't think anyone would object to Tyrion becoming Daenerys' Prime Minister Bar? ——So you see, the influence of the little devil in the "Dragon Group" is so huge.

Do you still want to ask me if the little devil is the dragon family? Tyrion has a bottom line and a sense of justice, humor and wisdom, full of human brilliance, whether it is a dragon or a lion, he is my favorite little devil! - Well, next time we will talk about his blackening.
