Chapter 0252: Divine Eye Lake, Thousand Faces Island, Noble Heart
"Someone is just a nobody, fiefs and castles are worldly things that do nothing for someone. And this war has nothing to do with someone. "Whoever sits on the Iron Throne doesn't care. ”
"Gold, gold equal to Cersei and my weight. Tyrion shook his fist. My father once said that there is a price for everything. My father never failed.
The visitor shook his head: "My lord, whether you want to be a night watchman or not, you decide for yourself." Someone's words have been finished, goodbye. ”
Tyrion dodged and stopped in front of the gray-robed man: "Save Cersei, just leave her alive." A woman who has lost her power, a woman who has lost her honor, a woman who has no martial arts, no scheming, poses no threat to anyone, killing her will only bring hatred and killing, and leaving her, even a fool knows that there is no harm in it. ”
"Stannis I was not a fool. ”
"He's not stupid, he's just stubborn. My lord, go and tell Mistress Eddard Stark that both Tyrion and Cersei are willing to be in the hands of Lord Eddard, not Stannis I. ”
"Somebody is just a nobody, really, somebody is nothing. Someone can't say yes to any of your requests. ”
The Grey Man pushed Tyrion open and walked through the small door.
Tyrion said, "How much did you pay to save Cersei?" ”
The Lannisters are listening to my roar, but what really penetrates the hearts of the people is one sentence: If there is a debt, it must be paid!
The man in gray stopped.
Tyrion was overjoyed, and because he was in a hurry, he made a serious mistake, that is, he only blindly took it for granted and bid according to his own ideas, and never asked others what the price was.
When you ask others to do things, you should naturally listen to other people's prices.
I'm so stupid.
Duke Tywin once said: Everyone and everything has an exchange price, and this sentence is true again.
Things failed, but because the price was not enough.
The Grey Man turned around and said, "Tyrion, do you know the Lake of God's Eye next to Harrenhal?"
"Yes!"
"There is a thousand-faced island in the middle of the Divine Eye Lake. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
"After you get out, go to Thousand Faces Island. ”
"Yes, sir. But what am I going to do?"
On Qianmian Island, legend has it that there is a green man organization, which has always existed. More than 100 years ago, Queen Rhaenyra doubted the loyalty of the dragon knight Adam Valerian, and when Adam Valerian was arrested, Adam rode his dragon 'Sea Smoke' to visit Thousand Faces Island and seek the guidance of the green man. Tyrion is familiar with all the books on the House of Targaryen and dragons, and it appears that the Green Man Order on Thousand Faces Island is real.
The Grey Man's request was strange and confusing to him.
"Somebody doesn't know, just passing on the word for a friend. If you can accept it, accept it, if you can't, the conversation between someone and an adult will end. ”
"I can take it. The Lannisters have debts to pay, if that's one of the quid pro quo for rescuing Cersei. ”
"Then, you'll have to lie down with a noble heart. ”
The noble heart, a high hill in the river, steep and majestic. It was overgrown with ancient trees, but more were cut down. Noble Heart was once the sacred mountain of the Children of the Forest, and no one in the locals dared to approach Noble Heart, and it was rumored that ghosts had been roaming it for thousands of years.
The other party's request is getting stranger and stranger.
Tyrion remembered that at the Great Wall, the false prophet Will told him that he knew the secret of why Tyrion's eyes were green and black, and he chose to ignore them and refuse to fall for Will.
Then, in King's Landing, Will the Man in Black and Eddard Stark hinted on various occasions and to varying degrees that he looked up books about the Children of the Forest in the library of the Red Keep, saying that there would be something he should know about them.
The more the other party made such hints, intentional or not, the more Tyrion avoided them, and refused to look through the ancient books. After the Great Wall of Desperation parted ways with Will, he was very wary of Will, believing that he was a very ambitious and scheming person who should not be underestimated. Scheming people are something that Tyrion doesn't like.
As for Eddard Stark in the North, his explicit and implicit references to Tyrion are believed by Tyrion to be influenced by Will. The Northlands and the Night's Watch have been allies for thousands of years. Every generation has never stopped sending their family heirs to join the noble lords of the Night's Watch, and among the seven kingdoms, only the Stark family in the North is the North.
Tyrion's approach has always been to do what the enemy wants you to do, and if you don't do it, you won't fall into the trap.
This time, however, Tyrion accepted.
"My lord, after I became a night watchman and was released from prison, I had to follow Master Eddard Stark north, and was escorted all the way to the Great Wall by his northern guards, and it is unlikely that I will have the opportunity to go to the noble heart and the Thousand Faces of the Divine Eye Lake. ”
"There will be. The gray-robed man said.
"Okay, I accept this condition and go to the noble heart and the Thousand Faces Island once. Tyrion said. Although he didn't know what to do, this time, he had no choice.
"Sir, kneel and swear to the gods!"
Tyrion knelt down and made an oath to the gods old and new that he didn't fear.
"My lord, if you break your oath, Cersei will die, and you will die, and someone will promise you that someone will cut your throat himself. ”
*
Varys was all too familiar with such a box, and familiar with such a smell.
The boat swayed gently on the water, and the light of the Red Keep was so brilliant in the night.
He didn't want to get into such a crate, which he had used to smuggle across the Narrow Sea to many people, first the knightly nobles who refused to break their oaths and were loyal to the House of Targaryen, and later some death row prisoners and felons, who were hunted down.
The hole in the side of the wooden box is the hole where the food comes in. The hole at the bottom on the other side of the wooden box is where your own feces are discharged, and sometimes, you have to use your hands......
"My lord, I may ask about the ...... of the Inquisition. For example, who are the adults, and if we meet in the future, how can I recognize you as the adults?"
"Get in!" replied to his voice without any room for negotiation, let alone explanation. Although he had been sworn in as a member of the Inquisition, he had no mission, no liaison, no identification, in short, nothing. It's as if his oath of never betraying didn't happen.
Varys had used many of these boxes, but this was the first time he had entered them.
His body is on the fat side, and the box will not be on the small side.
But there was no time left for him to think too much, since Stannis I became king, and Davos became the Minister of Sea and the commander of the Narrow Sea Fleet, the patrols of the Night King of Blackwater Bend resumed, and all ships that traveled at night were asked to stop and inspect once they were spotted by the patrol fleet.
Varys entered the box, feeling that it was larger than what he was used to, perhaps because he was lucky, or maybe the man in black had deliberately used a larger box.
Before he could fully lay down, the lid of the box was put up, and the nails were hammered into the corners of the lid and the box was nailed to death. Then he felt the box be lifted up, swayed, and carried into the cargo hold, where it was placed with countless cargo boxes that emitted various scents.
Bang!
A box was put up and smashed into Varys's chest, causing Varis's to almost jump.
Don't wait for him to react, woohoo!
Several boxes were piled up, and the light disappeared completely.
Woohoo!
The outer boxes began to pile up layer by layer, pressing Varys's boxes on top of each other in the innermost corner.
Varys was dizzy, couldn't breathe, and for a moment in the darkness, he felt like he was about to die.
How can people from the outside bring in food when it is piled up at the bottom of the pile? It is obviously unrealistic to move it out layer by layer. Look at this, at least for three days, you don't have any food and water to get.
The men in black were careful, and outside the exit from the Blackwater River to the bay, there was also a small fleet of heavily patrolled troops.
After Davos, the onion knight, became the commander of the Narrow Sea Fleet, everything changed.
Fortunately, I am fat enough, and I should be able to survive it in three days, or seven days.
It's just that, when nailing the lid, why not put a bag of water in the box beforehand? If it were him, he wouldn't have made such a mistake. Not only would he prepare water for the people in the box, but also wine and some food.
But this time it was their turn, and there was nothing in the box.
