Chapter 587: The First Battle of Destiny (3)
The elegant organ sound floats in the dim castle, adding a little humanity to this bloody castle that echoes the darkness. The melodious and beautiful voices of the castle singer seem to condense the most beautiful singing in the world, sweet, powerful and crisp.
The rich aroma of wine seemed to be able to ring the clear tinging sound in the cup, accompanied by the singing that spreads to the entire King's Landing Castle, gathering into a rich and sweet symphony.
Varys waited with satisfaction to wear a napkin for his maid, then gently put down the knife and fork. On the plate was a small piece of steak. Unlike the feast of the King of Ice and Fire, which was a shoddy meal when Joffrey was married, the steak was cooked very exquisitely and charmingly, which looked very exciting.
Putting down the knife and fork does not mean that Varis saves. In fact, everything he has now is something he has fought for himself. With his keen eyes of seizing the opportunity, Varis is like all kinds of nobles in ice and fire, fighting in the muddy waters of the seven kingdoms for his future and hope, so he never stings with everything he has now, not to mention the half-baked steak and the taste of a werewolf like them.
The forging steel technology in the world of ice and fire is not advanced, and silver or iron knife and fork are OK to cut cooked food. It is really difficult for these half-baked steaks. Even the instruments and singers with very similar to the tone to the organ are actually far from as developed as the medieval world in the original world, and they are just... just barely heard.
The fat, white, tender, thick and long index finger rubbed the napkin twice, and then instantly burst out with black and short hair. It became swollen, and the sharp nails stretched out from between the fingers, exuding the smell of death.
But this time, it harvests not life, but food.
Varis was very satisfied with using the werewolf's index finger to divide the steak into small pieces, then gently put it in his mouth, "Well, those chefs' skills are getting more and more sophisticated." He chewed carefully and tasted it.
He noticed that the maid next to him was trembling, and Varis looked at her very strangely. Then he asked, "You don't think I'm eating human flesh, right?"
The maid dared not nod, but did not shake her head. She just hung her head on her chest with great fear. Varis chuckled, and then was very helpless, "There are not many humans in King's Landing. So so much meat can be eaten by us. You are the only remaining slaves, and we don't have to eat human flesh."
"Don't be afraid, this is just beef. There are still many more King Landing. No one will eat you. At most, you will be sucked by those vampires."
Not noticed that his black humor almost scared the maid to faint, Varis continued to enjoy his lunch. However, at this moment, the gate deep in the castle was pushed open. With a heavy muffled sound, the tall and thin uninvited guest squeezed in like a ghost.
"I smelled the steak through the three corridors. It seems that you still accepted my advice." The person who came slowly approached Varis' dining table. Most of his body was hidden in the shadow of the castle. His face was not clear, but he was not very old when he heard the sound.
"Of course." Varis sent the steak into the stomach bag, "There are better options, why don't I accept it."
He didn't seem to give the person who came to continue talking to the topic, but the man didn't care, "Okay." He said, "Now there are better choices than these, then do you... want to make a decision."
"What choice?" Varis asked back.
"Leave the king's landslide and take your werewolf to flatten the surrounding cities. With your strength, those fragile humans do not even have the ability to resist. Your ethnic group will grow stronger and more weaker."
The man finally walked out of the shadow range of the castle walls and stood under a small curtain made of human skin and cowhide. A ray of light reflected in the empty window of King's Landing Castle, illuminating his appearance.
A very attractive man, who seems to be around thirty years old, neither looks vicious nor handsome, but at first glance, it gives people a sense of attraction. His voice is very magnetic and a London-like rap.
Varis did not answer immediately, but gently scraped the plate with his fingers, making an uncomfortable and harsh rubbing sound. After a long time, he suddenly asked, "Mr. Jamie, have you left with those two ladies?"
The man opposite smiled and said softly, "Yes, they are gone, not long ago."
"So... Now the entire werewolf tribe is under my rule, and most of the vampires surrender to me, and you can't wait to make me stretch my fangs to this world?"
"Of course." The man did not deny it, and he said lightly, "You are not unclear. King Landing, which is known as indestructible, has no meaning to you at all. With the power of werewolf, you can go anywhere you want. Nothing can stop you from your steps, so why should you stay here?"
Varis glanced at him faintly, then relaxed, he leaned against the chair, looking a little uninspired, "Lucif, Lucifer Stars, I don't know who you are, but I can guess from Jamie's words... You are not ordinary."
"Hmm." The man in front of him still had the same relaxed expression that was neither salty nor light, with a cynical smile and a little tempting kindness. He did not deny it, nor did he show arrogance because of this famous name. "Wow, I've surprised me, you've talked about me." He said.
"Your target is that wizard?" Varis asked again.
"That's right." Lucifer nodded, still having a smile on his face.
"But...you look like an ordinary person, or just an ordinary person." Varis pointed this calmly, "so how are you going to deal with him, through us?"
"Oh no no no no no." Lucifer shook his head as if he was enlightened and said quickly, "You are right. Although I am here for some irresistible reasons, I am not the real me. Of course, I have no ability."
"I don't need your help, look. I have never proposed to let you fight against him. Besides, don't I still have magic? You have seen it."
Varis continued to remain silent. He was able to control the kingdom and ascend to the Iron Throne of the King of the Seven Kingdoms, not because he had extraordinary force. It was not because he was leaning against the huge family, but because his head was cautious and cautious. He had a balanced vision and means from beginning to end, plus a little opportunity and luck.
So after Varis became the ruler of werewolf, the supreme leader and ancestor of these monsters, he was still not careless because he knew deeply that there was a more terrifying existence in this world, how terrible the power of his ancestors was back then, and they gathered together and even drove out the Green Prophet, but they were still conquered by the true dragons of the Targaryen family.
What's more, the mainland is now in chaos, and the White Walkers in the north are about to move. Maybe one day they will receive a military situation with a wave of dead people. There is no movement in the hidden dangers of the two kingdoms of Winterfell and Stannis. Varis doesn't believe that they both died together. There must be unknown changes in the northern border.
Moreover, the true dragon queen Daenerys has landed, and even the wizard is traveling with him. As soon as they landed in the rainforest, Varis received a tip, and their power is stronger than before.
Wizards, White Walkers, and hidden powers on the continent are slowly emerging. Varis, who once mastered the information source of the entire Seven Kingdoms, even knew the horror of these things better than the Faceless. He didn't want to provoke some powerful existences, and then died inexplicably, such as... the one in front of him.
"Your magic," Varis repeated, "I have seen it, it's really good. You only need to borrow a small amount of werewolf life to summon more werewolfs."
"But...if I remember correctly, my little bird has sent back the information this morning, and your magic werewolf army has been wiped out. I think even if I give you more werewolfs, you can't destroy him."
"We are all smart people. You and I know that the wizard is a very cautious guy. He must have discovered your existence. I think, instead of spending a lot of energy to deal with him, it is better to consider yourself and how to face his next counterattack."
Lucifer's face still had a smile, but his tone was a little weird, "Are you smart people?" He repeated, "That's right, you, me, and him, I know he will find me. After all, my fellow race left such a strong racial characteristic when he evacuated, and he would not not see it."
When Varis heard the words of the same clan, he didn't even frown, but there was a slight fluctuation in the depths of his eyes. Lucifer continued to stare at him and said, "I even know how angry he would feel when he discovered this, and he would think about what kind of magic he had been subjected to."
"But I don't think he will find out." Lucifer's smile became gentler, "because I never thought of harming him, I really haven't."
"I know what he is longing for." Lucifer's voice suddenly increased a little, "the thing he has been looking for, a complete soul, which means a complete emotion, and I can give it to him, and, I'm giving it to him."
"He used a large number of souls I put there. It was not a trap or a devil's fraud. It was just a gift of kindness that allowed him to save his companions in times of crisis. You see, he gained friendship, which is a very precious emotion that only humans can understand."
"I'm a good person, I know the desires of many people, and I can satisfy them, just like I know you're thirsty..."
"Okay." Varis suddenly interrupted Lucifer's long speech, "I'm not interested in your grudges and his." He said, "just as if I'm not interested in this muddy water."
"Thank you for your honest meeting with me, so... I think you already know what I'm going to say next." This time, Varis smiled again, "I won't order the werewolf to leave King's Landing." He said.
"Werewolf needs to hunt and eat, I will not stop it, but I will not order attacks on the surrounding cities of King's Landing."
"I believe that after the nearby nobles received the exact news, there would be no unsightly people attacking Junlin, because according to my intelligence, none of the nearby cities' garrisons were idiots."
"No matter what your plan is, I'm sorry, it has nothing to do with me, because I think I am enough to control the werewolf of the tribe. Your choice may not be better." Varis stared at Lucifer's eyes. "This conversation was pleasant, Lucifer, Stars, sir, but I hope that next time, it will be more pleasant."
Varis made a statement of seeing off guests. As he said, he would not lead the werewolf into the muddy waters of the mainland. He knew that Daenerys's goal this time was himself, but he believed that the wizard would make a more rational decision. Even if it was not for Jamie's face, Tyrion would help him, and he was also very rational.
He was not interested in the Iron Throne, and he could even leave Westeros. Anyway, with his strength, he could live happily in any corner, so in essence, he had no conflict with Daenerys.
Varis didn't talk much with Jamie, and Jamie didn't know much about Lucifer. However, based on Yi Xiao's words and Lucifer's name, Jamie told Varis a lot of information. One of the most serious emphasis was to be careful, this is a guy who is good at fraud.
So no matter what purpose he had, Varis did not intend to pay attention to him. In this way, no matter what Lucifer's goal was, he could not borrow a werewolf to achieve it.
As for why he didn't kill him directly, Lucifer's magic was enough to make Varis wary.
The conversation was obviously very unpleasant, but Lucifer still smiled, as if he had never been rejected. He bowed slightly and retreated, and then left the place with a light step.
After only two steps, he suddenly turned around and asked as if he had almost forgotten, "Oh by the way, Lord Varis, do you know Arya's whereabouts? It's the little girl next to the vampire, Arya Stark."
"She." Varis was stunned for a moment. He really knew about Arya's whereabouts, and he didn't mind selling him a favor. After all, having sex with both sides left room for himself. It was Varis' style of dealing with things in King's Landing. Even after he became a werewolf, it had not changed. Besides, it was just the whereabouts of a little girl, and it was nothing big.
"Alia left with the three of them," Varis whispered, "this was something that was confirmed a long time ago, and they will take her away."
"Is that right?" Lucifer narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, "Leave together, I understand, thank you." He smiled and nodded. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
