Ed Stark reacted dramatically!
Cao Dali's heart was instantly calmed, he knew that his words had pierced the deepest and most dangerous hidden secret in Ed Stark's heart.
It would convince Ed Stark that he had indeed come to deliver an oracle and give a warning.
Jon Snow's father is Rhaegar Targaryen, the eldest and most valiant son of the last king, Aerys "The Mad King" Targaryen II, a man of letters, arms and music, who was killed by the current king, Robert Baratheon, in the River of Trident. Jon Snow's mother is Lyanna Stark, Eddard Stark's beloved sister.
The dragon in the oracle suggests Rhaegar; the ice wolf in the oracle suggests Lyanna, and as for the giant pillar, it suggests that Jon Snow will be a great hero in the future who will be on top of the world.
This secret of Jon Snow cannot be revealed because once it is revealed, Jon Snow will be killed for having the bloodline of the Targaryen family. And the Stark family will also be implicated for this, and even exterminated for the crime of deceiving the king.
This is the real reason why Eddard Stark has kept his mouth shut about Jon Snow's motherhood no matter what.
Anyone with the Targaryen bloodline is the greatest threat to the current King Robert Baratheon, even if it is the two leaks far beyond the Narrow Sea - the stupid and brutal, childish and tyrannical Viserys Targaryen and the young girl Daenerys Targaryen, who is only thirteen years old - that make Robert Baratheon feel deeply uneasy on the Iron Throne. On the Iron Throne, fearing that one day the two remnants of the Mad King will lead their armies across the Narrow Sea ... After all, the Targaryens have ruled the seven kingdoms of Westeros for nearly three centuries, and many of the houses and subjects have been favoured by the Targaryens and have their hearts in the... ...
A wildfire cannot be eliminated, but it grows again in the spring!
Eddard Stark is again King Robert Baratheon's best brother, ally and comrade in arms, the most trusted man, above and beyond family and blood relatives. If this revelation were to come to Robert's knowledge, it would trigger the worst disaster between the two men.
Out of trust in the character of the reticent Ed Stark, Cao vigorously hints at this deadly information, using dragons and wolves as metaphors for everything and avoiding the danger of trapping himself in the knowledge of the secret.
"Will, how did you get the oracle?" Eddard Stark asked in a deep voice, his voice carrying a slight hiss. He was the only one in the world today who knew Jon Snow's secret. Apart from the God of the First Men, mortals could not know it.
"Fragments of dreams, shimmering lights of visions, whispers of darkness and vague divine revelations at prayer under the forest of sacred trees. Lord Ed, I believe in the God of the Forefathers." Cao Dali became more composed.
As long as he doesn't die, everything will turn around.
If you're here, you have to be at peace with yourself. Not to mention the Starks, a clan he admired, a clan of integrity and bravery and commitment. The land under their feet is also the land of heroes.
"What other divine revelations have you received?"
"The buck is compassionate and the three wolves travel south."
"What do you mean?"
"Will is foolish and puzzled."
Ed frowned, "Will, your parents are wizards?"
"Lord Ed, my parents have passed away, and I have a brother and a sister at home, all commoners of the Riverlands, who live in Sea Border City."
"When and where did you receive divine revelation?"
"Lord Eddard, I have been doing my duty at the Great Wall of Despair for four years, I am good at sneaking and scouting, and my four years of honing my skills has made me fearless when I enter the Ghostly Forest on patrol, yet this time, I was caught off guard, I saw the Fae Ghosts. Fellow traveller Gary and officer Ser Wilma Royce were both killed by the Fae, I rode away and was caught by the Fae, I knew I was going to die, when suddenly there was a flash of darkness and the Fae turned into ice shards flying with a bang."
"I recovered my life, and I fled with all my might, praying all the while for the blessing of the God of the First Men, and then I saw visions, shadows and shadows, and heard also gentle whispers full of pity, Winter is come, Winter is come, and the voice was without malice, and it gave me peace of mind."
"I don't know how many days I experienced running for my life, or how I got over the Wall of Despair; I was extremely sleepy and dozing, and each time I went into some very strange dream with strange symbols, some of which were still countless shards of blood and fire flying about. At last I saw a three-eyed raven who said to me, "Go to Winterfell, Will, go to Winterfell, go to Winterfell, go tell Lord Eddard that Winter is here and the White Walkers are coming; go tell Lord Eddard that the stag is in sorrow and the three wolves are travelling south; and go tell Lord Eddard that Jon Snow has the dragons and the Ice Wolves to protect him and that he will be Prime in the Winter."
"Will, I want you to swear an oath under the Godswood at Winterfell in front of the Heart Tree and speak your oracle, asking the gods for divine inspiration."
Cao Dali was anxious in his heart, before he crossed over, he was an atheist, but now, his soul fused with Will's soul, possessing Will's skills and Will's memories of what he had seen in this world, which was a magical land and a fantasy world. This world had many gods and endless miracles. The Drowning God, the Fire God, the God of the First Men, the Seven Gods, etc. Entering Winterfell's Godswood Forest to face the God of the First Men's God's eye lies, will he be cursed by the gods?
In the North, every castle has a sacred wood forest, and in every sacred wood forest there is a heart tree, an ancient heart tree that is ten thousand years old, with an ancient human face carved on it, a face with eyes full of compassion that go straight to the heart, a tree that is as white as a person's white skin, and leaves that are like blood and shaped like a person's palm. It is said that the Heart Tree is the incarnation of the God of the First People, carved on it by the Son of the Forest, who disappeared 8,000 years ago.
Cao Da Li believed: the more ancient something is, the more spiritual and divine it is.
Would he have angered the ancient gods by lying under the heart tree of the sacred wood forest and speaking the oracle to ask for divine revelation?
However, one crosses over and knows and understands things, so it's not a lie.
"Lord Ed, I am willing to swear under the Divine Tree Forest in front of the Divine Eye of the God of the Forerunner and speak the oracle to request Divine Enlightenment." Cao Dali felt the sense of coldness diminishing and his body heating up. He felt a little nervous about the Heart Tree in the Divine Wood Forest, as if he was dissecting a corpse in front of a professor for the first time with a scalpel.
Ed's eyes were as stoic as snowy mountains, and from his eyes, Cao Dali could not see any emotional fluctuations.
Ed turned his gaze and glanced at Jory, the captain of the guard, who immediately came up, drew his short sword, and cut the rope on Cao Dali's hand. Then he handed Ed the buckskin gloves, took the chilly from Ed's hand, stuck it into the scabbard, and carried it on his back.
"Give him a horse and go back to Winterfell." Ed said.
