"The Lannister of Casterly Rock is all dead. Tywin's Lannister branch is all dead." The fat eunuch held up a letter and cried out in fear.
"Clang —" The copper kettle slipped from Jaime's hand and hit the ground. The water from the kettle flowed out and soaked the soil. "How is that possible?"
"What did you say?" Tyrion asked, confused.
"Your entire family is dead." Varys swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.
"F * ck, you're the one whose whole family was eaten by deviants." Tyrion cursed and rushed forward to snatch the letter.
Jaime also moved his head closer.
With just one glance, the two of them frowned.
There were many words on the letter, but they were all numbers. The two brothers were dazzled.
"What is this?" Jaime asked anxiously.
"It should be some kind of password, using numbers as the encryption method." Tyrion looked at the fat eunuch in surprise. "You learned this from the Dragon Queen?"
"I invented the method of using numbers to encrypt messages decades ago. Now that you mention it, I suspect that she learned it from me. "
Varys muttered and looked at the two Lannister worriedly. He said softly, "The letter was sent from Casterly Rock. I have little birds there too. Your family … hundreds of people died. Almost all the direct descendants and those close to the direct descendants are dead."
At the peak of the Eight-Clawed Spider, he even had spies in Queers, Horse King City, and Slave Bay. It was normal for one or two little birds to appear in the families of the seven dukes.
The number one spymaster of the Song of Ice and Fire was Varys.
"You're kidding." Tyrion's heart tightened when he saw the eunuch's serious and pitiful eyes. He tried to crack a smile that was uglier than crying. "I contacted Uncle Damien a few days ago. I told him not to worry about the Dragon Queen and Stannis anymore.
He smiled and said that he believed that I didn't kill Uncle Kevon. He also said that Aunt Zina and her family will return to Casterly Rock from Riverrun in two days. "
Jaime said bitterly, "Who can take down Casterly Rock? Deviants? That shouldn't be. Deviants can't take down Casterly Rock in an instant.
If the Deviant Ghosts attack, Wizard Grom in Casterly Rock City can instantly contact the Dragon Queen of Dragonstone Island through the glass candle, and then the 'Dawn Warriors' stationed in Helenburg will immediately rush to support … "
"It's not deviants, it's food poisoning," Varys said said.
“what？ You're kidding, right? "The two brothers' eyes almost popped out.
"Your Aunt Zina is the wife of Count Edmund Frey of Riverrun, right?" Varys asked.
"Don't talk about these useless things. Let's talk about Casterly Rock first." Tyrion said irritably.
Varys spread out his hands and said helplessly, "I'm done. Including the Fire Wizard Grom, 874 people died in Casterly Rock.
It's that simple.
They were all poisoned to death at the banquet. Even the scholars died. We haven't confirmed what the poison was.
My spies aren't sure if it was an accident or if it was Lannister's enemies who poisoned them. We should have more news in a few days. "
"Damn it!" Jaime's eyes were sore. He punched the stone wall and choked, "It's all my fault. I should have returned to Casterly Rock immediately after the Battle of Winterfell."
Tyrion turned his head away and wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. He said hoarsely, "Thank goodness you didn't go back. At least we're alive. Cersei is alive. Myrcella is still at Slaver's Bay."
The two brothers lowered their heads and grieved for a while. Tyrion wiped the tears from his face and asked the eunuch, "What did you want to say?"
Varys hesitated for a moment and said in a roundabout way, "Do you know that there are dead people outside Riverrun?"
Tyrion rubbed his red eyes and shook his head, "I only know that there are deviants in Riverrun."
Although Jaime had been digging in the tunnels, he had been getting information from Varys. He was not slow on the uptake.
He said, "Dragon Queen's judgment that day was correct. The Deviant Ghost King activated his second life and disappeared. However, the deviants' southward movement did not stop. They just changed from a large scale attack to a small scale infiltration by a single deviant ghost.
In the North and Riverrun, many tombs have been robbed. The dead are crawling out from the ground to strengthen the deviant ghost army.
When there are too many of them, they will inevitably reveal themselves. Many castles and villages in Riverrun have been alerted to the presence of the deviants. "
"In the past month, Riverrun has been alerted to the deviant ghost at least three times. However, Dragon Queen ignored them and the Dawn Warriors did not move." Varys said with a strange expression.
"I didn't know about this. Is it because the deviants are too small?" Tyrion asked.
Varys said, "Riverrun is the capital of Riverrun. The Ghost Resistance Committee, or more accurately, the Dragon Queen, did not send any alchemists to Riverrun (the fire wizards of the King's Landing Alchemist Guild). She also did not send any atonement scrolls or dragon crystal weapons to Riverrun.
If the deviant ghost army attacked Riverrun, it would fall in half an hour like Hearthstone in the North. That's why your aunt and her family had to leave.
Most of the Lion Army fell in King's Landing. Casterly Rock is unprecedentedly empty. They also welcome any military force that comes to join them. Not to mention, Lady Zina is a direct descendant of Lannister. "
"Why is the Dragon Queen targeting my aunt?" Tyrion was confused.
"It has nothing to do with Zina's aunt. It's Wade Freyr!" Jaime smiled bitterly.
Varys looked at him and nodded, "The Dragon Queen has mentioned many times that after the Battle of Meereen, she will return to the Westeros and hold a meeting to sort out the rotten things that have happened in the Westeros for the past twenty years."
"I know," Tyrion said immediately.
Even Jaime knew what the Dragon Queen was thinking.
"Now that the deviant ghosts are heading south, it's almost impossible to gather the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. That's why some things can only be discussed online through candles and letters.
At that time, you were still at Slaver's Bay. The whole process lasted less than a week before it ended early because Wade Freyr didn't cooperate, "Varys said.
"Don't beat around the bush. If you want to say something, just say it directly," the dwarf said impatiently.
"This is my way of expressing myself. Do you want to hear it? If you don't, I'll leave, "Varys said calmly.
Jaime seemed to understand something, "Continue."
Varys said slowly, "The Kingslayer has become a Grey Guard. Lannister, at least Jaime and Targaryen's grudge is settled.
After that, the Dragon Queen focused her attention on the Red and Purple Weddings.
The Purple Wedding had already been decided. Joffrey died in the scheme of Old Rose and Littlefinger, and Tyrell was destroyed by You Lun.
The Queen only officially announced that Tyrell and Littlefinger were stripped of their titles.
Since everyone was dead, the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms had no objections.
The Red Wedding was originally very simple. Everyone knew what happened in Clonic River City. The problem was the result of the trial of the Dragon Queen. "
"The Dragon Queen meant that Old Wade had to admit that he violated the rights of the guests and betrayed his lord. He had to publicly apologize to Winterfell in front of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. Every noble would have to send a messenger crow.
Secondly, those who participated in the Red Wedding, including Old Wade himself, would have to commit suicide to atone for their sins.
Thirdly, the Freyr family would be stripped of their title as Duke of Hejian. Clonic River City would still belong to the Freyr family, but the Freyr family would be demoted from marquis to titular knight. The land around Clonic River City would belong to the Iron Throne, and the Iron Throne would take out a sum of money to compensate the families of those who died in the Red Wedding.
Of course, there was still the Holy Wedding before the Red Wedding.
Stark would also be punished. Robb's violation of the Holy Marriage Contract was no less than Old Wade's.
First, Robb and Wade Freyr would have to commit suicide to atone for their sins. At the same time, the current Duke of the Northern Territory would have to publicly apologize to Clonic River City's Freyr in front of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. Secondly, Winterfell would have to fulfill a wish of Miss Freyr, who had her engagement broken off.
In this way, the Freyr family and the House of Stark's grievances would be settled. "
Tyrion's mouth twitched. "That's fair, but to Wade Freyr, I'm afraid it would be difficult to accept."
Jaime sighed. "Old Wade should accept that the most valuable thing in Clonic River City wasn't the land or the title, but the city itself, which was the only bridge to the Green Fork River.
The Freyr family was the victim of Robb's violation of the Holy Marriage Contract. This was the truth. The Dragon Queen had already considered this point, so she left the Freyr family a foundation to rise. "
Varys sneered. "Wade Freyr didn't want to die, and he didn't feel that he should give up the title of Duke of Hejian. He said that the title was conferred by the Iron Throne, and that the Dragon Queen had no right to revoke his title and land. "
"Old Wade didn't know the result of the Battle of Meereen? He dared to reject the Dragon Queen, he really had guts, "Tyrion said curiously.
Jaime shook his head and said, "The trial on the glass candle was just an experiment.
After the Dawn Knights were established, the use of the glass candle was demonstrated to the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms to strengthen their confidence in fighting against the Ghost Committee.
Wade Freyr knew this, and he was sure that the Dragon Queen didn't really care about his reaction.
Moreover, he already knew the Dragon Queen's bottom line. When the long night passed and the Dragon Queen came to settle the score, he would have died many years ago, and Freyr wouldn't receive any heavier punishment. In this way, he would have profited greatly! "
Varys sighed. "In fact, the Dragon Queen didn't arrange for the Megalosaurus to burn the city. She just completely gave up on Rapidflow City.
The Atonement Scrolls, the Magic Network, the Dragon Crystal Weapons, and the Dawn Knights' rescue were all gone. "
"What does this have to do with the mass poisoning in Casterly Rock City?" Tyrion asked hesitantly.
Although he was asking the eunuch, his expression became serious. Like Jaime, he had a vague guess in his heart.
"The only reason so many people were poisoned, including the scholars and the wizards in charge of the glass candles, was because Casterly Rock was hosting a banquet to welcome the Freys from Riverrun. (Ps. Ps. Ps. The Freys.)
The Dragon Queen refused to help Rapidflow City, and the news from Winterfell was too frightening. Now that a small group of ghouls appeared outside Rapidflow City, the people in the castle couldn't sit still and fled to Casterly Rock City, which was building the third line of defense.
Rapidflow City also brought five thousand Hejian soldiers and a large amount of emergency food to Casterly Rock City. How could they not celebrate? "
"Then that old bastard Wade Freyr led Freyr's enemies to Casterly Rock City?" Tyrion's eyes were red, and he was about to cry again.
Varys's eyes flashed. "Perhaps, it's not a disaster. You Lannister have done a lot of evil, don't you know it?"
"Have you guessed who the murderer is?" Tyrion's eyes were cold.
Varys waved his hand as if he was chasing away something terrifying. "The discussion ends here. I'm just a messenger, and I don't want to get involved in your feud.
More than eight hundred people were killed just like that. A true killer, I'm scared! "
