Jehaerys was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned and he said with great sorrow:

"My Lord, I am not seeking personal gain, but to save the Alchemist Guild's heritage for thousands of years!"

Rosat was old and his mind was a little confused. He was used to obeying orders but rarely considered whether the orders were correct. Or, most people in this world were in this state.

"What do you mean?" Rosat asked anxiously.

"Did my father ask you to ignite wildfires in various parts of King's Landing when necessary?"

"That's right!" Rosat complained in his heart that the king asked us to keep the secret, but he told his relatives in a blink of an eye.

Yes, Aerys II did not publicize it at this time. He arranged to bury the fires in various parts of King's Landing after the Battle of the Trident, and they were all transported and arranged quietly in the dead of night. Only the ministers and specific handling personnel knew about it.

He also knew that if it was leaked, the whole King's Landing would immediately collapse, so he asked those who knew about it not to reveal a single word.

But the old sorcerer didn't know, thinking that the king had revealed the news to the royal family, otherwise how would Prince Jaehaerys know?

Besides, the prince said before that he had a dragon dream...

Thinking of this, he no longer concealed it and nodded in agreement.

"But do you know that if you really do this, the entire guild will be in an irreparable situation!"

"Would you like to hear more?"

"Think about it carefully, if the nobles and civilians in the city knew that the Alchemist Guild set fire to their homes and took the lives of their loved ones, what would they do?"

Jehaerys did not wait for the old man to answer, and asked himself:

"They will pick up any weapon, swords, sickles, hoes, sticks, stones... and rush to Visenya Hill without hesitation..."

"The angry people will overturn the gate of the guild, rush in and smash everything they can see along the way, all The wise men, assistants, and servants will be smashed into pulp by the mobs who are already bloodthirsty. At that time, your knowledge passed down for thousands of years and the secrets hidden deep underground will all be burned to ashes..."

"In the first few years, there may still be people who gnashed their teeth at what you did, but after decades, the old people died, and no one knew your name and your glory from then on. The alchemists passed down by word of mouth will only become synonymous with lunatics and ghosts..."

The old warlock's eyes were straight and his face was pale. He knew that what Jaehaerys said was true. Wildfires might burn many people to death, but people are not wood or stone. They will run when facing wildfires!

As long as someone ran away, when they returned, they would definitely vent their anger on them, the arsonists. Gods above, he really didn't dare to think about it according to the prince's words.

"Your Highness, can you avoid all this by moving the guild to Dragonstone?" The old warlock laughed bitterly, "The guild is a group of like-minded wise men united together. Under the guidance of the king, we walk in the world in his name, obey his orders, and respond to his call..."

"How can we do what we want without your Majesty's orders?"

Jehaerys thought for a while and said, "If we can't move everyone away, can we let some people go first? King's Landing is in chaos right now, and it won't be easy to attract other people's attention if there are fewer pyromancers who don't show up often?"

Rosat took a deep look at the young prince. As the chief pyromancer of the Alchemist Guild, he couldn't let the inheritance of thousands of years be cut off in his hands. So even though he knew this was the prince's little trick, he couldn't ignore the latter's deduction.

Forget it! Forget it! Anyway, they are all working for the Targaryen family. What's the difference between King's Landing and Dragonstone?

Thinking of this, he felt much more relaxed. Pyromancers are like the wildfires they create. As long as the fire is preserved, there will always be a day when the fire will spread all over the prairie!

After he returns, he plans to arrange some young wise men and assistants to leave by boat at night, but before that, he must contact his old friend Sir Tretimon, the captain of the King's Landing Maritime Guard and a veteran under the command of the Minister of the Navy, Earl Lucerys Valerian.

In charge of the inland and offshore patrol fleets covering hundreds of leagues from the upper reaches of the Blackwater River to the Spear of the Mermaid King in Blackwater Bay, one of his favorite things to do is to hang pirates and smugglers on the ram of the warship, half of their bodies immersed in the water to feed sharks.

Therefore, during his ten years in office, countless pirates and smugglers were frightened. When they heard the heavy drums of the oarsman, the drifting of the sails and the rhythmic creaking of the wooden oars, they immediately fled thousands of miles away and did not dare to confront them at all!

Thinking of this, he called his followers and asked Sir Tretimont to come to the Alchemist Guild later. Seeing this, how could Jaehaerys not understand that he had achieved his goal?

However, he came here for more than just this one thing today, so he hurriedly supported the old man's arm. This old man is still very useful in the future, so you have to be a little careful and don't let the old man fall!

"My lord, I have another thing to ask for!"

Rosat enjoyed the prince's respect and compliments. Although he looked terrified, he felt so happy in his heart. He solved the crisis of the survival of the Alchemist Guild, and his heart was even more grateful to Jaehaerys!

"Your Highness, you might as well speak frankly!"

"Do you remember the dragon dream I told you about before? The golden wave swept across the entire King's Landing!" Jaehaerys persuaded him step by step!

Rosat is an honest man, and a devout believer in mysticism. He was impressed by the dragon dream he heard for the first time in his life. Well! To put it bluntly, it has only been a few days, and the old man has not suffered from amnesia!

"Of course, but what does this mean?" Prophecies are rarely particularly clear. They are like the mumbling in a drunken dream, the clouds gathering and dispersing over the temple, which require people to interpret and guess. Until the last moment, people suddenly realize that it is like this!

"I guess the gods told me that it was not your wildfire that destroyed King's Landing, but someone else!"

"I heard that in the far east, in Yi Ti, far east of the Skeleton Mountains of Essos, there is a magical magic, and some people use the five substances between heaven and earth to symbolize the changes of all things in the world!"

"Are you talking about the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth?" Rosat couldn't help but ask. When he was young, he also traveled across the narrow sea and knew how vast the world was, but due to his lack of money, he could only stop in the free trade city-states, but it was there that he heard many secret rumors.

"Yes!" Jaehaerys couldn't help but sigh, this old man is really good, with such a supporting role, it's like drinking a glass of iced sour plum soup in the dog days of summer, refreshing from head to toe!

"In the Five Elements Theory, gold represents the West, so the West is rich in gold. And just at this time, the Lord of Casterly Rock led his troops to King's Landing..."

"Your Highness, are you saying that Lord Tywin will be bad for King's Landing?"

"That's right! I think they are not the light of hope to save King's Landing, but the flood that will destroy King's Landing!"
