Chapter 235: Showdown (Part II)

"Illusion, prophecy?!" Zhang Cheng had an expression of disbelief on his face.

You must know that the octopus spider has always been known for its aversion to demonic magic and supernatural powers, who would have thought that his motives for supporting the restoration of the Targaryen family would be related to ethereal prophecies and illusions.

It's as incredible as a materialist who shouts about the supremacy of science all day long, and suddenly one day it is discovered that he is actually an admirer of a mysterious power.

Varys undoubtedly understood how scary what he had just said, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and explained, "Don't make such a fuss, Mason-sama, you don't know what I've been through, and you don't know how horrible it has affected my life. It's true that I hate magic because it causes me untold suffering, but that doesn't mean I don't face up to its power. ”

"Oh, can you tell me more about your experience, especially the mysterious vision. I would very much like to know what kind of prophecy would make you so afraid. Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and deliberately pretended to be curious and asked.

"You won't understand what I just said. It was a war between ice and fire, light and darkness, an eternal battle between gods and gods. In the vision, I saw two results, one was the victory of the messenger of the Lord of Light, and the other was the victory of the terrible enemy, and the whole world was covered with darkness, cold, and death......"

As he said this, Varys trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed an unbearable fear.

Obviously, this incident has left a considerable shadow on his heart, and every time he mentions it again, it triggers a series of rejections.

Zhang Cheng carefully observed the other party's face, trying to find out some ingredients for acting, but soon found that this was definitely not acting, but from the deepest tremor of the soul.

Especially when it comes to the world being shrouded in darkness, cold, and death, the octopus-clawed spider seems to have experienced it firsthand, clenching its fists with both hands, and even its breathing becomes rapid.

If you were someone else, you would immediately believe what he was depicting.

But unfortunately, Zhang Cheng didn't believe a word at all.

He had already seen Klonada with his own eyes, and decided that the dragon who had lived for an unknown number of years was the so-called Lord of Light.

It can be inferred from this that the so-called god of cold and death is also a similar powerful magical life, maybe a dragon that controls the energy of ice and death, or it may be some unknown magical creature, anyway, it is absolutely impossible to be a real god.

According to his understanding, a true god should not only have a powerful power beyond the limits of mortals, but also have a will and idea that belongs to self-care, and diligently transform the world according to this will and idea.

According to such standards, the ancient gods and Titans of the world of Azeroth can barely be regarded as one of the true gods, but most of the chaotic belief systems of the Song of Ice and Fire are made by humans themselves at first glance, and a small number of them even show some incredible abilities, they have no obvious intention of changing the world, and only use some shady means, such as prophecy and suggestion, to gain the awe of believers.

As a seeker of power, what Zhang Cheng hated most was this kind of trick, and before Varys could finish speaking, he interrupted with a sneer: "Please stop! According to your meaning, the prophesied savior, the reincarnated Azar Yahai." The only surviving descendant of House Targaryen, Daenerys?"

"Yes!" the octopus nodded thoughtlessly, then added, "At least that's what I think, and Kinvara agrees with my choice." Melisandre, of course, chose Stannis. Since prophecies and visions are not so clear, everyone who sees them will have a different understanding, and each of us is convinced that we are right. ”

"Hehe, interesting. Well, since you think the prophecy is true, then I'd better assume it is. Tell me, can you help Daenerys and Oberon capture the Red Keep?" Zhang Cheng obviously didn't bother to explain anything, and got straight to the point.

After all, he didn't have much time left, and the sooner he got everything done, the sooner he could ensure that he would get more benefits.

"Don't worry, my little birds are already waiting for them in King's Landing. As long as they can infiltrate the city, my men will lead them through the secret passages into the interior of the Red Keep and take control of the important members of the Lannisters in one fell swoop. Varys did not hesitate to give assurances.

If there was anyone else who could master all the intricacies of the underground of King's Landing, it would be him.

Back in the days of the Targaryens, he was already the head of the palace intelligence, responsible for finding news for the Mad King, and from Aerys's mouth, he knew almost every secret passage that led to the exit, and even if Robert later became the new king, he was far less aware than he did.

In a way, Varys is a time bomb that could detonate at any moment.

Zhang Cheng didn't understand why Robert, Tywin, and Cersei didn't quickly get rid of this unstable factor that could affect his safety. In his case, the first thing he did after controlling the situation was to get rid of the eight-clawed spider that had mastered countless secrets and never suffer from it.

However, he had no intention of putting it into action for the time being, so he nodded quietly: "Very good! With your help, I think the plan to attack King's Landing will definitely be a complete success." Next, let's talk about the war at hand. Tell me, how much do you want to weaken my power?"

"It's easy! At least half of your army must be killed or wounded, and the Tower of Baon must be destroyed. Once you do both, I'll start working on helping you deal with your enemies. Varys sped out his terms.

"Yes!" Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment, and immediately agreed.

You must know that the army was originally a group of cannon fodder for him, even if it was all dead, it didn't matter. Although the Tower of Babel is very precious, it cannot be taken away, so if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed, and it is enough to figure out the magic technology used in it.

"Thank you very much for your understanding, if there is nothing else I will say goodbye first, Blanco will continue to stay by your side and be in charge of liaison. ”

After receiving the desired answer, Varys slowly stood up and saluted, then turned to walk outside.

Before he could take two steps, he was suddenly stopped by Zhang Cheng from behind: "Wait! Can I ask you a little favor?"

"Please!" Varys turned his head with a false smile on his face.

"I'm getting a little impatient to help that idiot hurry up and make the decision to attack in full. With that, a cruel and bloodthirsty light flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes.

Varys shuddered when he saw this, and replied in a deep voice, "Give me a day! By this time tomorrow at the latest, you'll see an endless army rushing into Old Town." Oh yes, by the way, be careful with your housekeeper......"
