Casting spells

"Branko, what do you think is the possibility that our Majesty the Queen and Oberyn will succeed in attacking King's Landing?" Zhang Cheng stood on the balcony on the top floor of the towering tower, admiring the empty port, and asked without turning his head. .

The old mercenary rubbed his dry eyes, and replied with a wry smile: "It's hard to say, my lord, I can only tell you that they pretended to be businessmen who fled from the old town, and they could probably fool the extremely corrupt gold robes, but whether they could succeed?" After capturing the Red Castle, it will be difficult to control Cersei and her son immediately. After all, King’s Landing has a large population, and the Red Castle is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack, any deviation can lead to unpredictable results.”

"Hehe, you're right. This is a military adventure. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not. Because as long as I win the war in front of me, Cersei Lannister must obediently bow her head and obey my orders." Will, no matter how harsh the conditions I set out. See, this is power, and only power can make people feel awe from the heart, and then kneel down and submit." After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng waved his arm lightly.

moment!

The spear-shaped tattoo on the back of the hand released a soft dark blue light!

next second...

Boom! ! ! ! ! !

A huge wave suddenly lifted from the sea level and hit the pier hard, making a chilling noise. Several small fishing boats docked at the berth were directly crushed by an indescribable terrifying force. It was even more splashing.

It is conceivable that if this hit was hit on an ordinary person, then the unlucky one who got hit would definitely have internal organs bleeding profusely, several bones would be broken, and finally he would slowly suffocate to death in a coma.

Undoubtedly, with many days of research, he has fully mastered the method of using this constant magic, and also integrated the Dalaran system's understanding of elements, its power is more than two or three times stronger than the original version.

Watching the magnificent sight of the pier, Blanco couldn't help opening his mouth wide, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Although it was not the first time he had seen the great power of magic, the horror scene of manipulating natural phenomena just now undoubtedly exceeded his bottom line of psychological endurance.

It is estimated that in his mind, such power can only be possessed by a god, not a mortal.

"How about it, how do you think Cersei Lannister will react when she knows that I can directly let a tsunami swallow the entire King's Landing?" Zhang Cheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes gleaming with danger.

"If she still has a semblance of reason, she will surrender obediently and wait for what you have to say..." The old mercenary's voice was low and hoarse, and his tone was full of complexity and bitterness.

Zhang Cheng nodded calmly: "Yes! You are very smart, at least smarter than your master. Now, I give you a task, immediately take what you see and hear, especially the strength and attitude I have. , and conveyed the original text to Varys. Then tell him that as long as I help Daenerys complete the sneak attack, I will forgive him for what he did before. Remember, you only have one chance, please seize it.”

"My... my lord! I don't understand what you mean!" Blanco seemed to have been frightened, and hurried back several steps in succession.

"Don't understand? No, you understand. In fact, from the day you accepted my employment, I knew that you harbored some dark secret.

At that time, I was still wondering, why did I attract spies like you when I obviously didn't do anything too outrageous?

But later, through a series of things, I discovered that your original goal was not me at all, but to get close to Petyr Baelish.

But then after I started to show something, you quickly lurked down and pretended to be loyal.

But secretly, you keep sending out all kinds of information.The reason why I didn't reveal it was that on the one hand, I felt that your ability was not bad, and that I could take care of those mercenaries who were undisciplined for me. On the other hand, I wanted to see who the master behind you was.

Here, this letter was seized by you a few hours ago from the raven you let fly. It clearly stated the number of Old Town troops, their defenses, and the abilities I have demonstrated.

Now, tell me, what else do you want to quibble about? "

After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng took out a note full of small characters and pictures.

As a traverser who is seriously insecure, he has never really trusted anyone. Not only does he not trust, but he also has strong doubts about every guy who breaks into his range of warning, although this doubt will not be reflected in the In terms of words and deeds, the investigation behind the scenes has never stopped.

Unfortunately, Blanco, who holds great power, is the focus of investigation and suspicion.

I have to say that he has been very careful and has never been caught until a few hours ago...

Chapter 234 Showdown

"My lord, you are really scary. You actually managed to endure for such a long time without showing any abnormality at all. I even thought that I had gained your trust, but I didn't expect it to be just wishful thinking. Can you tell me what it is? What caused your unusual vigilance, and what made you so indifferent to money, power, and status?"

After being exposed, instead of showing any expression of fear or despair, Blanco sat down very relaxedly, as if he was not worried about whether he would be killed at all.

Zhang Cheng stared at the suddenly presumptuous old mercenary with great interest, and asked with a smile: "Are you sure you want to know? Or are you just trying to delay the time? Remember, don't use your little tricks on me. on the body."

"No, I'm not delaying time, but Lord Varys is nearby. If you want to see him, why don't you just follow me?" Blanco stood up and made a gesture of invitation.

"Oh? He's nearby?" A strange look flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes.

You must know that he has been following the other party secretly for a long time. He originally thought that the "dead eunuch" probably went to the Eastern Continent to hide, but he never expected that he would actually be under his nose.

Blanco nodded meaningfully: "That's right! Please think about it, why did I send out the number and defense of Old Town's troops?"

"So that's how it is... He took refuge in my enemy, or he planned to use my enemy to do something." Zhang Cheng rubbed his chin with a thoughtful expression.

He wasn't too surprised that Varys joined Eric's camp. After all, the octospider is best at approaching someone as a friend, and when the other party relaxes his vigilance, he will quietly stab a fatal knife.

"You are so discerning! Lord Varys' original plan was to maintain a balance of power, and let the two of you slowly consume each other, or even perish together. However, I learned two days ago that you plan to support Daenerys to restore the Targaryen dynasty. He slightly modified the content of the plan, and intends to let you win the war after paying a certain price." Blanco said while leading the way to the door.

"Pay a certain price? His original intention is to weaken my strength to the greatest extent so as to ensure that Daenerys will not be emptied after she sits on the Iron Throne, isn't it true?" Zhang Cheng, who followed behind, sneered and sarcastically .

Sometimes it is really difficult for him to understand, what is the purpose of the octospider to restore the rule of the Targaryen family at all costs?

Obviously, first of all, as a man who has broken his roots, Varys is absolutely impossible to have any thoughts on the young and beautiful Daenerys. In fact, he did not support Daenerys at first, but the idiot Weiss Reese.

Secondly, Varys did not show too much enthusiasm for money and power. Even Littlefinger admits that the reason why his old opponent is invulnerable is because he has no desires and desires, and only in this way can he never be blinded by interests.

In the end, the octospider has no relatives at all, let alone offspring. No matter how much wealth and power he has, he cannot pass it on to his offspring and establish a family. he.

In short, Zhang Cheng couldn't find a reasonable reason to explain Varys' motives.

Blanco seemed to have noticed something, and said in a low voice without looking back: "I think you must be wondering why Lord Varys is so persistent, and must let the blood of the Targaryen family become the master of the Iron Throne?"

"That's right! Aren't you surprised that in order to achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to create a tragic war and killed tens of thousands of civilians. Could it be that the blood of the Targaryen family is so amazing?" After finishing speaking, Zhang Chengsao He glanced at the dark alleys around him.

Although he had never been to this place before, he still confirmed that this place was the notorious "black market" in the old town based on the sneaky figures nearby and the vigilant eyes flashing through the cracks in the door and windows.

Don't think that this "black market" only refers to the sale of stolen goods, but also includes a series of illegal transactions such as slaves, drugs, weapons and armor. It is said that as long as a person is rich enough, he can buy anything he wants on the black market .

"Hehe, I will leave this question to Lord Varys. We are here, please come in." Blanco stopped in front of a rather old wooden house.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. Dear Varys, you really chose a perfect hiding place." Zhang Cheng muttered to himself, and pushed open the broken wooden door that was about to rot.

With the help of a dim oil lamp, I could vaguely see a chubby man sitting at the table, sipping a night of steaming fish soup.

There is no doubt that he is none other than Varys who has disappeared from everyone's sight for a long time.

"Good afternoon, dear friend, I have been looking for you for a long time. Can you please explain, what gave you the courage to tear up the covenant you signed before?" Zhang Cheng crossed the threshold and entered the house, pretending to be very angry. road.

"Ah! Master Mason, please sit down. Come, taste the fish soup I cooked with my own hands. It's really delicious. Maybe you don't know that after I suffered inhuman torture and was abandoned, I barely survived with a bowl of fish soup. Survived." Varys stood up hastily, putting on an air of hospitality.

"No, thank you, I don't like fish soup, it's too fishy. Also, don't try to avoid the topic, please answer me, what gave you the courage to tear up the covenant, and what made you feel that the first daughter of the Lord of Light Is the priest capable of killing me?" After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng came to the table and looked him up and down.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he vaguely felt a trace of active magical energy from the dead eunuch.

Varys put down the soup bowl and sighed bitterly: "Oh, why can't you let these things go? I admit that I did make a few fatal mistakes, but they were all caused by misunderstandings."

"Misunderstanding?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly.

"Yes! Misunderstanding! I have always thought that you are an ambitious man, just like my old friend Petyr Baelish, who will take the Iron Throne sooner or later. But now it seems that you really have no interest in power , even if there is a sudden interest in the future, it is within the scope of my acceptance." Varys explained with a sincere face.
