Sure enough, there was an inconspicuous hole under the stone bed that was discovered by Littlefinger.

As the stone bed was slowly lifted up under the power of the machine, although the magic mountain that had known this scene for a long time was still shaken, because it involved the science of machinery.

Machinery includes gears, chains, the expansion and contraction of supporting columns, and the lubrication of machinery, iron machinery will rust over time, and Meg I, who built this underground labyrinth, has been dead for more than two hundred years.

The construction of the Maeg Tower and the underground passage was completed in the 45th year of the Aegon calendar, 253 years ago, how did the iron tools used by the craftsmen hired by Maeg be smelted?

Such a long time also involves the rust of machinery and the wear and aging of machinery.

But a small supporting machine under the Varys stone bed has not been damaged for more than two hundred years, which is a demonstration of the scientific ability that amazes the Magic Mountain. This is the power of science!

Although the war of the Seven Kingdoms was about to start, war was all about money, and trade between King's Landing and other seaport cities was not interrupted, but moved faster. The demand for trade of all kinds has not decreased, but has become larger. Even though Stannis Baratheon blocked the seas on Dragonstone Island in the open sea and tried to cut off trade in King's Landing, many merchant ships still came in and out of the port of the Blackwater River every day.

On the surface, it seems that nothing has been affected.

Merchants and captains chose to take a detour along the coastline, and both chose to cross the blockade of Dragonstone in the middle of the night during the gap between the patrol ships.

While war brings destruction, it also brings unstoppable business opportunities.

Any merchant, captain, nobleman, knight, and mercenary who passed through Lannister had to find a way to go to Earl Audrannister's famous noodle shop to spend a silver deer on a bowl of the famous Westerling noodles, and to buy a handful of carved chopsticks that he had never seen before before to show off.

Wealthy merchants, nobles from all over the world, island princes, princes, governors, knights, and mercenaries came and went in King's Landing, and Edmure couldn't stop making money just because he summoned the vassals of the Riverlands. It's like the prostitutes in the Westlands and the Riverlands, but because of the rise of war, business is even more prosperous.

Magic Mountain has made up his mind to remind Count Audrannister to follow the plan and open a second somen restaurant in King's Landing. The royal courtiers have tasted the benefits of sterile milk, and the somen has caused a sensation in the royal family, but the technology to produce the somen is only the mechanical ability of the new village of Klegon Village.

King's Landing's floating population and wealthy people far exceed that of Lannisham, flour can be freshly ground in King's Landing, noodle machinery can be built in King's Landing, everything can be found here, as long as you put in and arrange people to come, there will be a steady stream of money to be made.

When the war reaches a certain level, it is a time to fight for money, materials, and manpower. Regardless of the war, the trade in King's Landing will not stop, so the business of somen noodles should also continue to expand, and at least a second one should be opened in King's Landing.

Killing people and setting fires and making money and doing business are the correct postures to face the world.

Together with the hound, the Magic Mountain accompanied Cersei to see the passage under the stone bed, and everyone showed a surprised expression when they saw a stone bed weighing nearly 1,000 catties click up.

A staircase leading deep underground slowly emerges beneath the stone bed.

Cersei looked closer, and a cool air suddenly came out of the entrance to the underground passage, causing Cersei to shudder. Cersei took a step back, her face disgusted, and said, "Hound dog, go down and have a look!"

"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen Mother!"

The hound drew his sword, told the guards to bring torches, and the first to take the sword down.

Several red-robed warriors followed.

News spreads that Warris's stone house has discovered an underpass, and Prince Joffrey and Sansa arrive, followed by her best friend Jane Poole. The little girl's face became sharp, and the sadness in her eyes faded considerably. The murder of her father in the Prime Minister's Tower gave her the sharpest stimulation of her simple mind.

Magic Mountain noticed that Sansa's expression was less innocent and more indifferent. Her beaten face was still scarred, which she cleverly covered with a half-embroidered silk scarf.

The corners of Joffrey's mouth turned up, as always, and with a contemptuous smile on his face, no one could tell who he was despising him, perhaps even the air, water, and food were ignored by him.

He's the supreme king, that's important.

Tough as a magic mountain, no one can beat him, and now he obediently obeys his mother and his orders.

He's the king, and the rest are scum!

"That's where Varys escaped?" asked Joffrey with interest. His gaze was not looking at any of the courtiers, he was asking questions, and no one could see who he was asking, perhaps he was asking everyone, including this stone bed.

The courtiers were cautious, and no one took the initiative to answer His Majesty's questions. Although the king was young, twelve years old, he was tall, exceeding the height of the average boy of fifteen or sixteen, and his personality was unpredictable. There were many courtiers, and everyone pretended to be confused, pretending that the king didn't ask me by name anyway.

But there are still people who are not afraid of death or trouble: Littlefinger!

"Your Majesty, this is where Varys escaped, unless there is a second passage here. Littlefinger laughed.

The king's smile was supreme, with contempt and banter for everyone else, as if everyone but the king were great fools, and Littlefinger's smile was narrow, as if everyone but him could only be laughed at.

"Why can't there be a second passage here?" said the king with great interest, "look around, Littlefinger, there must be a second passage here." With a wave of his hand, the king included all the front and back of the stone house.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Littlefinger nodded, not paying any attention to the disdainful glances of Berry Dondelien and the red-robed monk Thoros. There were also many courtiers who gave him contemptuous looks, and their little fingers ignored them all, and their faces did not change.

Littlefinger instructed the guards to find a stick and began to pound the ground carefully.

"What are you doing?" Joffrey laughed.

"Your Majesty, if there is an entrance to the underground passage, there will be an echo where it was struck. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Joffrey's eyes, and he said, "Bring the stick, I'm going to find another entrance myself." Sansa, you come too. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Sansa was mechanical and cold.

Littlefinger cleverly left the middle spot for the young king, knowing that there was going to be a great discovery on the floor of the front drawing-room. Let His Majesty find out, he will be very happy, and will increase his self-confidence in omnipotence, and if he finds out, the King will be very disappointed.

Only a fool would disappoint a king, and Littlefinger is not a fool.

Littlefinger needs to make the king happy, and the king is happy, and he will think that Littlefinger is a good courtier, even a good playmate, a trustworthy friend.

The Magic Mountain stood beside Queen Cersei, watching with a blank face as Littlefinger skillfully curryed favor with His Majesty. In order to save Eddard Stark, the Magic Mountain had to let go of Varys, because in the end, Varys could not clear his suspicions, and it would only take a few days at most. Even if you can hide from Cersei and Joffrey and get rid of Paiselle, you can't hide it from Tywin in the West.

When the news reached the West, Lord Tywin immediately thought that it was Varys who had let Eddard go.

Magic Mountain is confident that it can fool others, but it is difficult to fool Tywin in the matter of Eddard!

The only way to do that is to kill him, and if you don't want to kill Varys, you have to let him go.

In order to have a good foreshadowing for the future meeting with Daenerys, Magic Mountain decided to let Daenerys' two humming generals go: Varys and Illyrio.

The two guys have mysteriously disappeared like Ed, and the Magic Mountain can rest easy.

The mountain watched coldly as Sansa, Joffrey, and Littlefinger lined up and tapped the ground with their sticks and walked forward in unison. Of course, he knew all the mechanisms in Varys's room. Cersei, on the other hand, waited a little anxiously for the hound to return from the ground to report the situation.

Cersei was agitated, perhaps thinking about Jaime Lannister in Golden Tooth.

The mountain looks at Lancel Lannister, a shadow of Jaime, the handsome and charming cousin of Cersei, who has been replaced by Cersei after Robert's death. When Jaime is not around, he climbs into Cersei's bed, trying to satisfy Cersei's **, and hopes to do better than Jaime.

He hopes to take Jaime's place in Cersei's heart, Cersei is a beautiful woman that men will never forget, especially a hot-blooded young boy like Lancel, who is deeply infatuated with pleasure after tasting Cersei.

Ransail noticed the Magic Mountain's gaze, and he turned sideways, his gaze meeting that of the Demon Mountain. The magic mountain did not shy away at all, and the warning and threat in his eyes did not hide: Boy, I know your little secret.

Lancel was taken aback, and immediately turned his head, avoiding the gaze of the Demon Mountain, his face was already unnaturally red.

"Cocoa!" came a hollow sound on the ground.

Everything was expected by Littlefinger and the Magic Mountain, and Joffrey struck the ground where there was an echo. A smug look appeared on his face, and he looked first at Sansa, then at Littlefinger, and smiled, "Look what I said, there's more than one secret passage here, and you've all underestimated Varys." ”

Littlefinger had a look of astonishment on the King's face that he was expecting: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, and as soon as he came, he found another secret of Varys, which so many of us have not discovered. Tsk, Your Majesty is amazing!"

"Here, here, and here!" the wooden stick in Joffrey's hand struck cocoa, and the echo of the ground was hollow and stirring. The corners of his mouth were upturned higher, and the smile on his face shone brightly, as if he had led his army to a great victory.

Littlefinger's tongue bloomed with lotus flowers, and sweet words coaxed Joffrey's heart to burst. Joffrey waved his hand, "Malintlan, come here and dig this place." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Malintlan drew his sword, came over and plunged it into the ground, pried open the floor, and soon a black coffin appeared in a hole in the ground.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Cersei immediately grabbed it, pulled Joffrey away, and got in front of Joffrey.

Magic Mountain knew that Cersei really loved Joffrey, and her only kindness might be in her treatment of her three children.

Littlefinger knew it and turned on the switch on the floor above the coffin on the wall, which he had seen with his own eyes open and close Varys. The craftsmen who dismantled the walls of the stone house did not trigger the trap. They're really just here to tear down the walls.

The black coffin didn't make the strange sound that Littlefinger had thought, and he knew that it contained a dark wizard who had cut off the male roots of Varys. Littlefinger has been sidelined.

In the middle of the lid of the coffin was a movable wooden plank on which a copper buckle was hung, to which a lock was hung. Next to the lock is a small nail with a key hanging from the nail. It's exactly the same as when Littlefinger first saw the coffin.

Joffrey wasn't afraid and was eager to try, but Cersei wouldn't let him come forward.

"Open the coffin, open it quickly. ”

Magic Mountain knows that cremation is popular in many places in the Westeros continent, water burial is popular in the river, and there are very few burials, and coffins are a relatively rare thing.

The Kingsguard Malintlan opened the coffin, and a foul stench rushed out, causing Malintran to faint.

The stench spread, causing the queen mother, kings, courtiers, and noblewomen to cover their noses and cough, and everyone quickly retreated.

Inside the coffin was a naked, filthy and filthy skeletal body, a bloodless, muscleless, skin-covered bone-covered face, a pair of black, cloudy, pleading, frightened, round-stared eyes sunken deep in their sockets, and a crossbow bolt that was just the tail of the shaft of the arrow in the middle of the heart.

The man was dead, humbled and horrified.

No one knows who this person is?

The wizard's black robe, which could reveal his identity, had been taken by Varys.

Sansa screams in terror and runs away, and Jenny Poole hides at the farthest point of the crowd.

Who the man who was killed in the coffin by Varys is unknown. Together with Eddard Stark and Varys the Octopus, he became an unsolved case in King's Landing.

A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.

The bachelor's apprentice of the Bachelor Tower panted and ran to kneel: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, Your Majesty the King, the great master of the Pai Xi'er is ...... By...... Killed. ”

"Where?" Cersei snapped.

Pischer is Lannister's most loyal minister, he has worked with Tywin for twenty years, and he idolizes Tywin, who also has access to Pixiel's secret report, and knows a lot about King's Landing. Such an important lackey, but he was killed?!

"In ...... At...... In the ......, "The bachelor's apprentice is still a teenager, and he can't talk in front of everyone, half tired, half afraid.

Choke!

Joffrey's sword unsheathed: "You can't even speak clearly, how can you be a bachelor's apprentice?" Leave you useless!" The king's sword was raised, and Queen Cersei hurriedly stopped: "Wait a minute, let him finish." ”

Joffrey's sword was pointed at the young apprentice.

The bachelor's apprentice was frightened: "Her Majesty the Queen Mother, Your Majesty the King, the Great Teacher...... Great Powers ...... Killed on the floor of the bedroom......"

"Who killed him?" said Joffrey.

“...... I...... I ......"

"You!" said Joffrey, furious, and his sword fell, but it slashed into the air.

The apprentice slumped to the ground in fright when he saw the king's sword slash at him, dodging a slash from the king's wrath.

Demon Mountain's face was grim, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, let's go to the Bachelor Tower to see the scene." His voice was booming, and he immediately suppressed all kinds of chatter at the scene.

Queen Cersei grabbed Joffrey and whispered sternly: "Pay attention to majesty, His Majesty the King will not swing a sword to cut people, and cutting people is the business of the royal magistrate." ”

Joffrey hated to take back his sword: "Ilyin Pine, cut this guy down for me." ”

The King's order surprised everyone! Cersei stopped her, but the King was determined!

Choke!

Ilyin Pine unsheaths his two-handed sword!

In the midst of everyone's exclamations, the greatsword of Ilyin Pine swept by, and the head of the apprentice rolled off, and the blood on his neck choked far away.
