Chapter 589: The First Battle of Fate (5)

Tyrion, who is on the run, doesn't know that someone has already helped him carry this black cauldron, no matter what, Varys will suspect Lucifer and be wary of him, this is not a matter without evidence, because Lucifer's existence itself is full of mystery and conspiracy.

In fact, the best option for Varys now is to kill Lucifer immediately, surrounded by countless werewolves in King's Landing, no matter what kind of ability he has, he may not be able to escape, so that no matter what Lucifer is planning in secret, he will not attack himself.

But Varys didn't do it for a number of reasons, the most important of which was that Lucifer was really as simple as he seemed, and could he really kill him?

Because since Lucifer did this, then he must know that sooner or later there will be an exposed day, what is the reason for him to have the courage to stay in King's Landing, and what hole cards does he have that no one knows, Jamie's vague words are like lingering shadows in Varys's mind.

He was a little annoyed because he found himself frightened by Lucifer, by this person he didn't know at all, but to his helplessness, he really couldn't help it.

If Varys had a hot head now, and then recklessly killed Lucifer, then everything would seem to be calm again, but would Varys have a hot head, he wouldn't, he's a very sane person, that's why he won't do it.

Perhaps Lucifer had already calculated this, so he dared to be so blatant and not afraid of being discovered, but who knows, this is a question that can never be answered logically until the mystery is revealed. So Varys decided to give up this gamble-like speculation. He chose the more secure approach. That is, following Lucifer's train of thought, investigating, and Varys believes that he is no worse than this man named Lucifer in terms of playing conspiracy.

"Damn it!" Varys cursed on the Iron Throne, maybe it was the right choice to leave now, whether it was the wizard or the strange ghost of the north, or even the man in King's Landing, it didn't seem like it was easy to deal with, maybe he shouldn't be involved in these things. The tribe should be led away.

Now the scale of the war has escalated, from the petty fights between the human magnates and kings of the Seven Kingdoms, to the creatures such as strangers and wizards, which once only existed at the legendary level, and the current situation is no longer beyond his control.

Who knows if there will even be gods such as the Seven Gods or the Old Gods in the future, he is not a hero of the human race, Varys is very self-aware, there are sailboats in King's Landing, and even if he goes to Essos, he can dominate one side with the power of werewolves.

But Varys, after thinking about it for a long time, still didn't make up his mind to leave. Perhaps it was his speculative psychology that was at work, and he always felt that now was not the moment to decide where to go.

But outside of that. Varys also noticed another problem, which was that it was all based on the fact that Lucifer had done something to make Tyrion decide to escape, so ...... If Lucifer did, what did he do......

The dark sewers emitted a foul smell, and the unidentified liquid dripping from the roof of the pipes splashed into the muddy and viscous sewer without even splashing.

Scarlet-eyed rats and all sorts of strange underground creatures scurried around the corners of the sewers, staring at the surface of the water as they drifted through the garbage and filth that might be edible.

Sewers are underground structures that every city has, and even the later and larger the city, the more shocking the complexity of the sewers, even if you think of sewers as the opposite of the city's underground.

You know, in some cities that were particularly developed in the industrial age, the complexity of the sewers has reached a jaw-dropping level, with twisting pipes, criss-crossing underground canals, and even the chief engineer may get lost in them, and countless shady things are hidden in these unknown corners, and even go undetected for decades.

Looking at drawings and surveying the field are two different concepts, and when humans are in this dangerous and dirty underground labyrinth, missing any corner or shadow of the iron gate may mean that there is no way out.

Some abandoned passages may never be found again, let alone those that have been lost over time for a variety of reasons.

The same is true of King's Landing.

Although this is a medieval city, the scale of the underground buildings is not small at all, and the world of ice and fire has developed into the late Middle Ages, but due to the sparse population and vast land, they have not been able to promote leapfrog development.

But even so, the underground passages in King's Landing are dazzling and even more dangerous, as there is no city library to find the sewer architectural drawings of the past, and the poor construction capabilities make the sewers full of traps and even more difficult to occupy.

The sewers of King's Landing do not have a lot of abandoned places like Meereen, Meereen is a deformed city, although it has a large population, most of them are slaves in captivity like pigs, and it is difficult to even eat two meals a day, there is no room and room for free movement, and naturally it does not produce a lot of sewage and garbage.

Although the population of King's Landing is similar to that of Meereen, everyone is free, even the poor people in the slums, although they can't afford to eat at all, but the daily garbage is far more than Meereen, and it is possible that the sewers are often clogged, not to mention abandoned, which brings a trace of danger to the tortuous underground world.

But even so, Tyrion chose this path, not only because it was more hidden, but also because, there was no other choice, it was just a medieval city, and to get out of the city and enter the city, you had to go through the city gates, and the two of them would be sniffed out by the werewolf's keen sense of smell when they appeared on the street now, let alone swagger out.

There is no train station, no subway, and walls all around, so unless you fly out, you have to choose the sewers.

Two figures slowly walked out of the depths of the sewage. They struggled to move their legs in the sticky filth. Bring the water on both sides to make waves. The underground creatures in the shadows scattered in all directions, and these two men were none other than Tyrion Lannister and Jaime Lannister, whom Varys was looking for.

The foul smell was simply puffing into the nose, mixed into a strange smell, so that Jaime even seemed to be suppressed by vomiting, he looked disgusted and brushed aside the unidentified floating algae floating in the sewage in front of him, and then said a little angrily, "Why do we have to run away, why do we have to choose this kind of ghost place to escape." ”

The former First Swordsman of King's Landing has long since passed the period of rising. By this time, however, Jaime was even more depressed, his bright blonde hair was dyed gray-yellow, and there was still a little filth hanging from it, but his equipment was still neat, and his right hand, which had been severed from his magic arm, was still resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

As for Tyrion beside him, it was obviously even more unpleasant, because this level of sewage for Jaime might only be waist-tight, but for Tyrion, it was almost past his neck. A little higher, and you get to the place of his mouth. As soon as you speak, sewage will pour in.

He glanced at Jaime beside him, didn't speak, and the dirty water near his chin didn't make him speak, but fortunately, Jaime was also very considerate of his younger brother and didn't chatter about it.

Finally the two of them reached the ankle-deep passage of the sewage, and Tyrion breathed a sigh of relief, "We have to go." "And the sooner the better." ”

Jaime frowned, he knew that his younger brother was very smart and wouldn't do useless things, and now the Lannisters might only be the two of them left in King's Landing, so he trusted Tyrion, "Why?" He asked.

Tyrion took a breath that seemed to organize the language, he thought for a moment, and then began to speak slowly, "How much do you know about magic?" ”

Jaime next to him was stunned, he didn't expect Tyrion's first sentence to ask himself, but he still thought about it seriously, and then shrugged, "I don't know at all." ”

Jaime really didn't know about these things, in Westeros, where wizards were not prevalent, male wizards were often seen as circus tricks, and the scholars were also hostile to them, so Jaime, as a noble knight, didn't bother to study these things at all, he believed that Tyrion also knew, so he didn't hide it.

Sure enough, Tyrion knew his family's situation well, and he nodded, then continued, "But I know a lot. ”

Jaime looked at him a little strangely, "That wizard taught you magic in the first place?" He asked.

"Nope." Tyrion shook his head, "I asked Varys and the scholars to find the books for me, I've read a lot, I've been reading them since Sean left, sort of for ...... Prepare for what will happen in the future, but now it seems that these things have happened. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Jaime asked again.

"Did you know that a long time ago, the Green Prophets who ruled this land possessed magic, very powerful magic, and there were not only one kind of creatures in the beginning, but there were no humans?"

Jaime's expression was puzzled, he also knew what Tyrion said, this was the history of Westeros, every aristocratic child would learn it when he was a child, but he didn't understand why Tyrion was talking about it at this time, but he still listened quietly.

"I read a book, a heroic epic of the ancestors' period, it can be regarded as a poem, it is not very good, and the story is not exciting, but the content in it has caught my attention."

"It says that in the time of the Green Prophet, the world faced all kinds of threats, not just from the sea or other creatures fighting for territory, but from some other worlds to invade."

"It's not very detailed, but it mentions a ...... They are called demons, and they are monsters with steel forks in their hands, tails and wings on their backs, and horns on their heads. ”

"Do you believe this kind of story of cheating children?" Jaime laughed a little, but didn't interrupt Tyrion.

"There are not many demons, it seems that they came in through a crack in a well, they are weak in strength, but they are good at demagogy, and they are ...... Mastery of magic. ”

"They made a huge mirror, and this mirror had the power to bring out the ugliest side of man, and then the demons shattered the mirror and sprinkled the mirror dust on the world, and all of a sudden, the whole world fell into chaos."

"Some creatures have this powder in their hearts, feel that everything in the world is ugly, and join their army under the bewitchment of demons, and some creatures have this powder in their eyes, unable to accept and believe everything they see, and do not even have the strength to organize and resist."

"The rest of the story is not clear, but the Green Prophet was defeated by their attack, and finally a guy who seemed to be a god appeared in the well, destroyed them with a magic, and expelled the curse of the mirror."

Jaime was a little helpless, not to mention that this is a legend that completely deceived children, even if it is true, then what does it have to do with the present, the Green Prophet was thousands of years ago, not to mention these things that were earlier than the Green Prophet, "So, what do you want to express?" He asked.

"Do you know what kind of magic that god uses?" Tyrion still didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

Jaime shrugged and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know and didn't want to know.

But Tyrion ignored him, and replied to himself, "It's a kind of ice magic, that god sealed the entire northern part of Westeros with ice and snow, covered it, and called out a powerful creature that grew in the ice and snow, the original name is unknown, but now you must know the name, they are called ...... Strangers. ”

Jaime was stunned, there were all kinds of discussions about the origin of the strangers, through the classics, speculation or inferences based on legends, but there was no accurate answer, but no one cared about this, after all, the strangers have disappeared for thousands of years, and only these idle long-haired scholars will study these problems.

But now, Tyrion explained the origin of the Aliens with such a tone and a magical legend at such a time and such a situation, but Jaime couldn't help but believe a little, after all, the changes in King's Landing during this time can be described as earth-shattering, and after experiencing something personally, Jaime had to believe in some things in front of him.

But he was even more strange at this time, thinking that he couldn't figure out what these things had to do with the present, and besides, legends were legends after all, and Jaime didn't quite find them useful.

"I know you're weird." Tyrion said, "I don't believe it, after all, these are too far away from us, but you can't believe the Great Wall in the north, you have seen it with your own eyes, you have touched it yourself, and I have urinated on the top of the Great Wall, there is a legend that it was made by the magic of the Green Prophet, do you think, that is something that humans can build." ”

"Even if ......" Jaime opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Tyrion.

"I said so much just to tell you that the power of magic can completely change the entire world, and now, the era of our Seven Kingdoms is over, and in the next period of time, magic will sweep the entire continent."

"We have to get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise, we won't even have any residue left under the powerful crush, and I saw it not so long ago...... Something. ”

Jaime's face finally became serious, but then Tyrion suddenly stopped and grabbed Jaime, "Wait a minute. His voice dropped suddenly. (To be continued......)
