Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep - Chapter 232
c230 Barbecue? Gambler?
Varys never expected that Jack was not only good at winning people’s hearts, but also good at playing with people’s hearts!
Jack obviously knew a lot about the Purple Wedding, but Varys didn’t know how he knew it. He only knew that his situation was a little bad.
If he lied and said he knew nothing, Jack would definitely use this as an excuse to chop off his head.
He was very sure that Jack would do it without hesitation, because the look Jack gave him just now was full of murderous intent.
But if he told the truth, he would undoubtedly offend Tyrion. If he fell out with Tyrion, it would have a great impact on the subsequent plan, and he might even have to modify the entire plan.
However, Varys thought too seriously. Jack was simply making things difficult for him, the octopus spider, and he didn’t think so much at all.
After thinking it over, Varys said vaguely:
“I believe that there must be someone else who poisoned this matter. My little bird told me that I heard someone secretly planning to poison the king.
But unfortunately, I didn’t see the specific appearance. It was too dark at the time, and the little bird didn’t dare to approach rashly.”
Varys’ words were as good as nothing.
In fact, Varys was basically certain that Petyr Baelish and Olenna Redwyne had jointly poisoned Joffrey Baratheon.
Because his little bird had seen Petyr Baelish secretly meet Lady Olenna, just a few days before the wedding!
At that time in King’s Landing, only Littlefinger and the Queen of Thorns were crazy enough to poison the king at his wedding.
But Varys also roughly knew why they poisoned Joffrey.
Lady Olenna, known as the “Queen of Thorns”, would never allow her daughter to marry an unstable mad king.
And Littlefinger Petyr Baelish simply wanted to create chaos.
In his words, chaos is a ladder, and he had no motive to poison the king on the surface, so no one would doubt him.
It’s funny that these two people, one granddaughter just married Joffrey, and the other was just canonized as the Duke of Harrenhal by Joffrey, ended up poisoning Joffrey together.
Varys now needs to consume the forces of both sides, and also find a way to eliminate the four dragons on Jack’s side.
If the South starts fighting first, how can the Golden Group led by little Aegon take advantage?
At that time, I’m afraid Jack will even deal with the landing Golden Group.
But Varys obviously underestimated Jack’s understanding of the Purple Wedding. After all, he has watched American TV series, and Jack has innate control of some intelligence.
Jack narrowed his eyes and said with a fake smile: “It seems that your title of Varys Octopus Spider is just a false name, Korakshu, Dragon Flame.”
Korakshu, who was not far behind Jack, slowly came behind Jack after receiving the order.
The edge of the stand where Jack was was already full of seats, but the huge Korakshu still put great pressure on Varys even if he stood behind Jack’s seat.
However, Varys still felt that Jack would not be willing to kill him. The little bird in his hand had a great impact on the next war between the North and the South, which was his confidence.
Moreover, if he showed his cowardice at this time, it would prove that he had deceived Jack at the beginning, and his end would not be much better.
“Your Majesty, I really don’t know. Little birds are not omnipotent. Please give me some time, and I will find a way to find out the truth.” Varys insisted that he really didn’t know.
“Dragon flame!” Jack said lightly.
Varys’s face changed drastically. Just as he was about to speak, the dragon flame like magma poured directly on Varys.
One of the most dangerous people in the Seven Kingdoms, the eight-clawed spider Varys did not even scream, and turned directly into a pile of charcoal.
Tyrion’s eyelids twitched. Why was the dragon flame spewed by this red dragon different from what was recorded in the book?
Many people saw the scene in the stands, but they didn’t think much about it. They just thought that some little person had provoked His Majesty.
And Jack killed Varys, and there was no ripple in his heart.
He had given Varys a chance, but Varys didn’t tell him the truth.
Of course, Varys might really not know the murderer, but Varys could definitely guess that it was Littlefinger and the Queen of Thorns.
But Varys didn’t say it, obviously he had his own little thoughts.
The degree of harm caused by Varys’s own little thoughts and Tyrion’s own little thoughts is different.
This is not to look down on Tyrion, but Tyrion is much easier to control than Varys.
However, if there was no Myrcella, Jack felt that he would probably kill Tyrion, and he would not even need to find an excuse.
“Come on, clean up here, it’s really a bummer.” Jack waved his hand, as if he was dealing with a pile of garbage.
Then Jack watched the tournament boredly. Don’t say it, some farmers are really good at it.
After asking Jack for instructions, Myrcella took Tyrion to the backstage. After more than a year, Myrcella wanted to inquire about her mother’s situation.
Jack did not refuse, but asked Walker to follow Tyrion with two guards to prevent him from escaping.
Since he fell into Jack’s hands, Jack naturally did not allow Tyrion to escape from his control.
