Unbeknownst to Logan, two men and one woman dressed in linen clothes followed behind him.
Even though his hair was disheveled and he was wearing a simple gray hemp shirt, looking exactly like a poor man's gathering, Logan instantly recognized the identity of the 1.4-meter-tall handsome man in the middle.
On the left was a thin, capable, and indifferent young girl, and on the right was a 1.95 meter tall, robust man covered in muscles.
"You are —" Logan's eyes widened as he looked at the man's smooth and angular face in disbelief. "You are Hound, were you also cursed by the Witch of the Forest?"
His voice went from rough and deep to sweet and shrill, like a eunuch's voice.
He was Varys, and Logan was just one of the many disguises of the Eight-Clawed Spider.
The highest level of an alias was not to disguise oneself, nor was it to change one's appearance. Even changing one's voice was nothing. The key was that everyone recognized this identity of his.
Logan was an old friend and neighbor of many people in King's Landing.
In fact, Logan wasn't even the highest level of disguise for Varys. He also had the disguise of a fat auntie who lived in King's Landing as a woman for more than ten years, and no one knew that he was a man.
"I've always looked like this." The Hound stroked his flat left cheek and sighed. "After becoming a priest and receiving the medical skills taught by the Holy Mother, it took me half a year to heal most of the burn scars on my face."
"A dog with no sense of honor like you can become a priest!" Varys said absurdly.
"The Holy Mother doesn't need false honor," Hound said calmly.
"You are?" Varys looked at the girl.
The girl's gray eyes were emotionless. She glanced at him but didn't say anything.
"She swore the Vow of Silence to not speak … nonsense." Tyrion laughed.
"The Vow of Silence, you …" Varys's puzzled expression suddenly turned to shock, but he immediately stopped and didn't say her name. He only asked, "You guys are a strange combination. Why are you looking for me, to arrest me? "
"This isn't the place to talk."
Hound glanced at the Lady Boss who was looking around in the grocery store, then turned and walked towards the Rotten Mud Door.
Varys hesitated for a moment before walking to the Lady Boss's side. After saying a few words, he quickly followed the three of them, leaving the Lady Boss cursing behind.
There was a large area of densely packed sampans in the Black River. Like middle-aged women who had just been released from prison, they crazily squeezed every drop of their husband's stock. Every fish in the river, regardless of size, snail, or baker, regardless of whether they were dead or alive, was the target of the hungry fishermen.
In the Black Water Bay, which was further away, there was a small sun in the sky. Fishing boats flying the Church's flag were shuttling back and forth.
After walking along the riverside for some distance, Varys asked solemnly, "How did you find me?"
"The Three-Eyed Crow can't find King Strange Ghost, but can't it find a mortal like you? Hide? Where are you going to hide? Disguise? Do you think you can fool the gods? "Tyrion mocked.
"Sigh, how can there be such a terrifying existence? It affects the balance too much, "the fat eunuch lamented.
"What balance? If you have the guts, go talk to deviant ghosts about balance! " The dwarf laughed mockingly. "Only such a powerful Three-Eyed Crow and Dragon Queen can reach a balance with King Strange Ghost and God of Cold. If the human race only had a mortal like you left, it would have gone extinct long ago! "
"Why are you looking for me? How does Dragon Queen plan to deal with me? "Varys asked helplessly.
"You have two choices. Lie down by the riverside and let me chop off your head with my axe. Then, I will feed your corpse to my Tessa, and your crime will be forgiven.
Or, you can join the Scripture Teaching Team and follow Saint Matthew to the East to spread the Seven Saints Scripture. "
"What choice do I have? Even if I have eight claws, I can only crawl in one direction. Tell me, what is the Scripture Teaching Team? "The eunuch laughed bitterly.
The dwarf told him all the reasons he could tell people, and then he pointed out something else. "Your mission is very simple. Use your Eight-Clawed Spider's talent to find out the identities, abilities, locations, plans, and weaknesses of all the evil gods who are hostile to the Seven Gods Sect. When it comes to killing evil, you don't have to do it yourself."
"Do you think I can live until the time when it comes to killing evil?" The Eight-Clawed Spider said blankly. "I am just an ordinary person, and you want me to be a spy in the Evil God Sect. I don't even know the ins and outs of the sect, and I am just an ignorant layman. If this isn't suicide, then what is? "
"Yes, it is a suicide mission." Tyrion nodded and said with a matter-of-fact expression, "You can't escape the death penalty, but now I am giving you a chance to redeem yourself. Even if you have a slim chance of survival, at least you have a chance to live."
"Can I wear black clothes?" Varys asked.
The dwarf shook his head and sighed. "If it is a great trial, there will be an audience at the scene, and basic fairness must be maintained.
Then, according to the traditions of the Seven Kingdoms, even if you have committed a great crime of treason, you should still be given a chance to join the Night Watch.
But many times, without a trial and without an audience, there is no fairness and justice. Whether you live or die, it all depends on the other party's thoughts. "
"Hearing you say that, I am starting to regret it. I regret not turning myself in at the Fairy City," Varys said helplessly.
The dwarf sighed. "Don't be silly. If she really wants you dead, you won't be able to reach the Fairy City. Your life and death, honor and disgrace, will always be in her hands.
Just like back then, her life and death will be in your hands. The Heavenly Dao is good at reincarnation. Who will destiny let go of?
"Sigh, you are right. She has a reason to do anything to me." Varys smiled bitterly. "I don't want to die in a foreign land. Westeros are my home.
Being eaten by a dragon is also one of the Targaryen's fates, although your Tessa is only a pterodactyl. "
* Zing! * Arya pulled out the sewing needle from her waist and spoke for the first time. "Just as I wanted, I will kill you and avenge my father."
"Wait!" The dwarf hurriedly stopped her. "Let me talk to this damned eunuch alone."
He pulled Varys forward.
Varys stood there and refused to move. He said to Erya, "I am sorry to Danny, Rize, Rhaegar, and even the Mad King. But I am not sorry to Stark.
Your father is so stubborn. I advised him to make the first move. I also told him everything about Cersei's actions.
But that fool ran to Cersei and said, 'I told you everything. I know your secret. Varys told me. I will make my move on you the day after tomorrow. I will give you one day to take your bastard child and escape from King's Landing. I do not want my sword to be stained with the blood of women and children.
In the end, his sword was stained with his own blood.
He is so stupid that it makes my heart ache!
If I was not so good at dealing with people, and if several factions had placed their bets, I would have been killed by him.
Even so, I respect his integrity. When Cersei sentenced him to death, I was the only one in King's Landing. I used my sweet tongue to persuade the Queen Dowager to give your father a chance to wear the black robe.
In the end, Joffrey went mad. That was unexpected. "
"If you did not try to stir up internal strife in the Seven Kingdoms, my father would not have gone to King's Landing at all. The battle between the wolf and the lion was planned by you and Illyrio," Arya said coldly.
"According to what you're saying, all the deaths of the seven nations can be blamed on me?" Varys said unhappily.
"Enough. You are the mastermind. The people of the Seven Kingdoms know that. There is no denying it."
Tyrion tugged again and dragged Varys away.
"To tell you the truth, there are dangers and opportunities in this trip to the barren lands. Whether you succeed or not, at least you will escape hell," Tyrion said.
"I have the Atonement Scroll," Varys said.
"Ha, where did you get the Atonement Scroll? One word from Saint Danny can send you to the deepest part of hell to accompany Lun. Do you believe me? "The dwarf sneered.
"One word can decide whether a person goes to heaven or hell. Is heaven or hell her backyard?" Varys said with a 'don't try to fool me' look.
The dwarf's gaze became strange. There was pity, disdain, and a hint of pride.
Varys felt uncomfortable under his gaze.
"You have decided to refuse to join the teaching team?" Tyrion did not have the enthusiasm from before. He was unusually cold.
— My image in his eyes has changed from a familiar person to a pig waiting to be slaughtered, as lowly as dust.
Varys was shocked. He suddenly had a great fear of death.
"How is that possible?" The fat eunuch forced a smile. "There will always be a chance if I fight. If I don't fight, I will die now. Even an idiot knows what to choose. I just want to bargain and get more benefits."
Then, he realized that the dwarf's gaze became gentle again. It was as if he had suddenly changed from a rascal in the same village who was at the bottom of society to an old classmate who could communicate with him on equal terms.
"After five years, the Dragon Queen will give up on pursuing your responsibility. Then, you will be free to choose your future path. Wear a black robe and serve at the Great Wall. Shave your head and enter the Church's Priory to repent for the people who died because of you in the Seven Kingdoms. Or, give yourself a sword and go to the Stranger's Kingdom of the Dead to seek a possible reincarnation." The dwarf patted his shoulder and promised.
"I thought she would at least give me freedom." Varys sighed.
"If she said she would give you freedom, then she must be lying to you. Once you complete the mission, she will kill you." Tyrion sneered. "Your crime has already spread to the Seven Kingdoms. Will the Dragon Queen slap her own face and convict you while absolving you of your crime?"
Varys was startled and asked, "What about Arya? Can she be absolved of her crime? "
"Only a lifetime of redemption. She will not be absolved of her crime overnight. The Great Judgement is not very fair, but it is definitely sacred and cannot be changed. "
Varys was silent for a moment and asked, "How much support will I get?"
"The Barbarian Royal Family is on our side. As for the gold royals, there is an unlimited supply."
Varys frowned. "This is good news. But I do not know much about supernatural powers. I don't know where to start! "
"You don't have to worry about that. The number one mage of the younger generation in the East is our advisor. Also, the number one supernatural organization in the Barbarian Lands, the Necromancer Association, also maintains a good relationship with the Church."
.....
Two days later, Dragonstone Island.
Saint Matthew, Tyrion, Arya, Varys, and the Hound stood in line and bid farewell to Saint Danny.
"Matthew, you can't use your name anymore."
"Why?" Saint Matthew was surprised.
"You are an angel, the Holy Son of the Church of the Seven Gods. You should have a name that represents your mission. Today, I bestow upon you the name 'Qizang'. Seven gods, seven scriptures, each scripture has a scripture book. Your mission is to spread the scriptures of the seven scriptures to the Barbarian Lands and even the entire Jade Sea. "Dragon Queen said emotionally.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing a name. From now on, I am Qizang. Qizang swears to complete my mission. I will definitely spread the teachings of the Church of the Seven Gods in the Jade Sea. "Qizang said solemnly.
Saint Danny nodded and asked, "Do you understand what you are carrying when you travel the Barbarian Lands?"
"I understand. The mercy of the Holy Mother, the justice of the Heavenly Father, the freedom and glory of a young girl, the wisdom of an old woman, the hard work and creation of a blacksmith, the bravery of a warrior, the reverence of a stranger towards the unknown and mysterious. These are all things that I carry." Qizang said very wisely.
Saint Danny sighed. "This is what your heart carries. You still need to carry it with your hands."
