A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 8 The Red-Handed Demon

Although it was just an unexpected situation caused by the ghost hand, when Lin Yi took a step back, gave up his original goal of rescuing Ed, and changed his goal to killing Joffrey, he found that the space for maneuvering had increased a lot.

So, after a short thought, Lin Yi judged this shot as Targaryen's revenge.

First of all, he revealed his foreign face in front of Varys, conveying a very obvious message-the Kingslayer is not a Westerosi.

Secondly, the level of technology is at most only medieval Westeros, and using a pistol to kill a person at a medium distance is more like magic in their eyes.

It just so happened that when Lin Yi briefly activated [Ancient Memories], he exchanged a glance with Varys. With Varys' deep-rooted hatred for wizards, he must be misled in this regard.

Coupled with the ghostly hand he showed in front of the golden robe guard, and the evil aura that did not lie at all, at least the identity of a wizard should be settled.

And at this point in time, the news of Daenerys should have been sent back.

This Targaryen's only blood descendant, married to the most powerful Khal Drogo, is currently the most powerful Khaleesi in Dothraki, with amazing charm, even the undercover agent sent by Westeros was arrested She rebelled.

It is not so incomprehensible that such a Targaryen descendant who has unknowingly become a big man overseas will find a powerful wizard to take revenge in Westeros.

Even when Daenerys knew about it, she would definitely admit it. At this time, Mother Long didn't have the overall situation and interests in her immature mind, and she just didn't want to disappoint those who supported her.

And her short-lived brother kept saying before his death that there are still many forces supporting Targaryen in Westeros who are drawing dragon banners and waiting for the return of the Targaryen king.

Cersei and Varys would believe it too, because it's no surprise whatever the blood of the Mad King does.

As for the consequences of killing Joffrey...

Tsk tsk, it can't be worse anyway, can it?

With Cersei's character and style, it is impossible for her to give the throne to Stannis or Renly, let alone Robert's illegitimate son. The next king must be Tommen.

Tommen is still a child, and he is a docile and shy lady. Even if Cersei becomes the Queen Regent because of her young age, it will not be worse than the kingdom under Joffrey.

In fact it is true.

……

When Barristan brought the body of the golden cloaked guard before the grieving Cersei, Cersei's eyes showed unforgettable hatred.

"Tan! G! Lee! Ann!"

Cersei held Joffrey's cold body in her arms, and called out the name through gritted teeth.

Father Tywin was still fighting Robb, and his younger brother James was also on the front line. Once Joffrey died, it was as if her last support had fallen, and she was the only one left in King's Landing.

"The Queen Mother."

Varys stepped forward cautiously, and spoke softly.

"Varys!"

Cersei turned her head abruptly, glaring at Varys like an angry lioness, her once beautiful eyes were now bloodshot with ferociousness.

"I know you are closely connected with the Free Cities, tell me who did it, divine punishment? I don't believe in divine punishment? What kind of god would put divine punishment on my poor son, he is only 12 years old !"

Although this is indeed not divine punishment, your son is not pitiful either...

Varys bent slightly, and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty's wound seems to have been crushed by an invisible air arrow. The actual damage in the chest cavity is much greater than the superficial wound. Combined with the thunderous sound at that time and the distance between the assassin and His Majesty, it should be black." By magic..."

The development of the matter was actually smoother than Lin Yi imagined - Cersei was unwilling to dissect Joffrey's body, and the bullet hidden in Joffrey's body was not found.

Coupled with the special structure of the square at that time, the sound of the gunshot was amplified, and everyone thought it was a powerful black magic.

"Where's the assassin?" Cersei asked without looking up.

"The soldiers are still searching. According to my information, the assassin is a stranger from the east. He bought all the bread in stock on Flour Street, but no one knows where he hid the bread. Maybe it has something to do with the ritual of magical activation. Regarding, my people said that he is a foreign nobleman with delicate skin, now it seems that he is probably a wizard..."

Having said that, Varys paused slightly, pointing to the corpse held up by two guards.

"This person has been in extreme fear since he woke up, and died after seeing the bloody three-headed dragon carved on his stomach. Maester Pycelle said that he was frightened to death, but he died I've been muttering about 'the red-handed demon' and 'the devil's curse' before, so the real cause of his death is yet to be discussed..."

"The red-handed demon..."

Cersei blushed and quickly accepted this setting.

Compared with the punishment of the gods, she is more willing to believe that her son died under the curse of the devil.

Looking at the angry Cersei, Varys thought about it and spoke carefully.

"Words come from the east that the little Targaryen girl is now Khaleesi of the Dothraki, and is said to have won the favor of her husband Khal Drogo, and is pregnant with the horse king's child. With her current status, it is not difficult to entrust a wizard to take revenge, it's just..."

Varys seemed hesitant.

"Just what..."

Cersei said flatly.

"This wizard is too powerful..."

Varys sighed.

"powerful?"

Cersei sneered, her beautiful eyes were full of hatred and sadness.

"If he is really too strong to fight, why did he kill my poor son and leave so quickly?"

Maybe his only target was Joffrey, or maybe he just didn't care...

Varys couldn't believe that the owner of those eyes was afraid of mere mortals, but he nodded in agreement with Cersei—a wise man never tried to reason with a woman in a rage.

"Second... queen, it seems King Robert killed him too..."

Varys sighed.

Although Robert is not a wise king, but when he was alive, no one in the Seven Kingdoms dared to have any wrong thoughts. For a eunuch with world peace in mind, he was regarded as the top three existence among the generations of emperors he assisted .

"..."

Hearing what Varys said, Cersei's eyes twitched, she didn't say anything, and couldn't say anything.

Only she and her father Tywin knew that Robert was killed by their design. Even if he didn't encounter a wild boar, he might stumble, encounter a poisonous snake, or miss an arrow.

The wizard didn't know that, but he certainly knew Robert hadn't killed him.

Therefore, judging from the object of Targaryen's hatred, Cersei believes that the so-called first one in the message should be Ed Stark who just ordered the beheading.

After all, according to the gold-cloaked guard, the wizard had been there long before Ed was beheaded.

He didn't attack and kill Joffrey immediately, but waited until Ed was beheaded before killing Joffrey. It seemed that he was happy to see the result, no matter in terms of his goal, process or result, he was very much in line with a Targaryen The image of the killer.

Seeing that Cersei was losing her mind, Varys sneered inwardly.

As the person who holds the most secrets in this country, how could he not know that Robert was killed by Lannister?
