Chapter 45 True Lies

Maps have always been the most important military information for any lord and king. They cannot be easily shown to others. Only the academic city can collect these map information and draw them into a map through the bachelor advisors assigned to each lord. A complete map of Westeros.

This map has always been regarded as top secret by the school. Except for the doctor of the school, other ordinary bachelors have no access to this map.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Targaryen dynasty, the academy submitted a map of Westeros when it surrendered. However, that map was not a complete map. I don’t know if it was intentional by the academy. There were many spots on the map. There are errors everywhere.

For this reason, several generations of Targaryen kings revised the map, and finally the map was completely revised and sealed in the royal library.

During the turmoil in King's Landing a year ago, Varys moved some important information stored in the royal library to his lair in the secret passage beneath the Red Keep in order to prevent it from being destroyed, and the map was among them.

And when he saw the map that Lind was drawing now, he actually found that this map was more accurate and detailed than the map he had on hand. Even some islands that were not marked on that map, such as the Shield Islands, It is also drawn on this map.

The more important point is that in addition to the map of Westeros, there is even a map of Essos.

Although Varys has never seen a map of the Essos continent, he can still judge the authenticity and accuracy of the map through his geographical understanding of the Essos continent.

So the map of Westeros and Essos before him was something he had never seen before, or even heard of.

However, this map appeared in front of him, and it was drawn casually by a fifteen-year-old boy who had never left the Reach.

At this moment, Wallis somewhat believed what Linde had just said. Only by standing in the sky could he overlook the two continents and draw such a detailed picture.

After looking at this map for a long time, Wallis tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart, turned to Lind and asked curiously: "What happened next?"

Realizing that Wallis already believed his words, Linde continued to narrate his carefully crafted lie, saying: "Later, the light took me flying all the way to the north. We flew over the northern border, over the Great Wall, and entered the That eternally frozen place." As he spoke, he paused, with a clear look of fear on his face, and said, "Then I saw an army of zombies composed of White Walkers and corpses, millions of resurrected corpses. Under the leadership of the White Walkers, they stood densely on the endless ice field, waiting for the opportunity to go south. "

Wallis wanted to sneer at Linde's words at this moment, but the shock to him from the previous map was too strong, and the look of fear on Linde's face also very intuitively showed his emotions at the time. He began to believe Linde in his heart. words, even if these words sound extremely absurd.

Linde took a deep breath, as if to calm down the fear in his heart, and then continued: "After that, I flew back to Bai Village. I saw myself lying on the bed, turned into a corpse, and then I was sent back to the corpse by the white light. , came back to life. But I found that I was not only resurrected, but also gave me various knowledge during the resurrection, including the swordsmanship I mastered. My body also underwent amazing changes and became A tall and strong warrior. Although the white light did not reveal to me who he was, I could feel that he should be a warrior among the Seven Gods."

After listening to Linde's narration, Wallis couldn't help but take a deep breath and tried to look calm, but his eyes had completely exposed his complicated heart.

After a while, Varys asked doubtfully: "Do you think the warrior resurrected you because they wanted you to deal with the White Walker army outside the Great Wall?"

"I don't know. If God's thoughts can be guessed, then God is no longer God." Linde shook his head and said seriously: "I can only do it according to my own ideas, little by little. Climb up, gain power, and build an army until one day comes.”

Wallis looked at Linde with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Linde could see that Wallis already believed what he said, but this belief was not deep enough, so he decided to add a little more information at the end.

So, he looked at Varys and said: "Actually, among the knowledge given to me by the Seven Gods, the knowledge related to combat only accounts for a very small part. In fact, there are other pieces of knowledge that exist in a sealed state in my mind. Usually these Knowledge is in a sealed state and can only be unlocked when meeting specific people.”

Wallis was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he seemed to realize something. A trace of panic flashed across his face, and he asked Lind tentatively: "Is there also knowledge related to me?"

Lind briefly named three names and said: "Aegon Targaryen, Jon Connington, and Illyrio Mopatis."

Wallis's face changed suddenly, and he even took a few steps back out of panic. He hit the wall before stopping. His eyes when he looked at Lind were full of panic and fear.

These three names represent the biggest secret in his heart. It is absolutely impossible for anyone else to know this secret, because once it is exposed, he will definitely die.

But now Linde said these three names easily. There is no doubt that Linde also knows the secret in his heart. Now thinking about Linde's origin and what Linde said before, he has completely I believe Linde's absurd words, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why a young man who had stayed in a small village for the past fifteen years suddenly mastered so much knowledge that was absolutely impossible to possess.

"Lord Varys, you don't have to worry. In fact, if you didn't come to me, I wouldn't have revealed these things at all." Linde knew that the heat was almost over, so he comforted the other party and said with deep meaning: "You may not know the impact that what you do will have on this world. You are the most important chess piece on God's chessboard, and it is with your impetus that the wheel of fate begins to spin."

These mysterious words came out of Lind's mouth, giving Wallis a sense of mission that he had never had before. If anyone else had said these words, Wallis would have only regarded them as a joke. But it was Linde who said these words, and it was someone whom he had regarded as an apostle of the Seven Gods. His credibility was naturally self-evident.

He had to admit that this meeting with Linde gave him too much shock, giving him the illusion that it was unreal and that he was dreaming.

Originally, he just wanted to establish a relationship with an upstart with a mystery so that he could use it in the future, but he never expected that things would start to spiral out of control like they are now, involving gods and the end of the world. The legend also involves his biggest secret.

At this moment, his mind was completely confused and he didn't know what to say.

Linde did not continue speaking. Instead, as if giving Wallis time to calm down, he sat quietly and finished the remaining food.

But in fact, his spirit has been transferred to Glory. At this moment, Glory has arrived at the dragon's lair. After avoiding the poor people and prostitutes outside the dragon's lair, it got into the ruins through a gap, along the gaps and The passage ran towards Linde, and the moment it entered the ruins, the resentful soul energy shrouded in the ruins began to spontaneously pour into Glory's body.

Linde could clearly feel the reaction of the resentful soul energy after it entered Glory's body at this moment, and just like the remnant soul power in the dragon egg was injected into Glory's body through him, the resentful soul energy injected into Glory's body at this moment also passed through the two bodies. The spiritual connection of the person came into his body.

Among the resentful soul energy, the part belonging to the dragon was integrated into his body under the residual effect of the Dragon Feast Ceremony, while the remaining part belonging to the human body was expelled from the body, which made his body thicker. A cold aura, combined with the surrounding environment, made his whole person look a bit eerie.

Although Wallis was in a state of confusion at the moment, his observation skills were not affected at all, and he quickly noticed the abnormal changes in Linde.

"What's wrong with you? Lord Linde." Wallis did not step forward to check Linde's condition, but looked at Linde warily.

Because Linde had changed so much at this moment, not only his temperament had changed, but even his face had completely lost all color, and he was as pale as a dead person. This made him think of the afterlife mentioned by Linde. Resurrection, thinking of the legendary White Walkers.

For this reason, he couldn't help but feel a little fear in his heart, and the hand in his sleeve couldn't help but grab the dagger hidden inside.

As soon as Wallis' questioning voice fell, Lind's expression gradually began to return to normal, and the sinister aura about him began to dissipate.

After a while, when Lind's face completely recovered, he took a few deep breaths, as if to calm down his emotions, then his eyes were full of awe, and he made a seven-god prayer gesture while saying: "I just revealed something that I shouldn't have done. What I revealed was punished by the Seven Gods, and at that moment He made me return to the state of death." He said with lingering fear: "I never want to experience that feeling again."

The scene just now was seen by Wallis with his own eyes, and the reason for this change was definitely not the so-called magic he had seen before. It must have involved a higher level of power. He already believed Linde's words. And now Linde's performance makes him more and more convinced that Linde really resurrected after death with the help of the Seven Gods.

"Do you need me to do anything?" Wallis asked in a deep voice.

"No need," Linde shook his head and said, "Lord Varys, just pretend that I never said what I said before. You still do what you want to do, and I do what I should do. , everything can be done as usual." He said seriously: "Lord Varys, I agree to the conditions you proposed before. As long as it does not affect my interests or put me in danger, I can help. You do something.”

After hearing Linde's words, Wallis secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he didn't really want to help Linde do anything. He just asked casually. Now Linde's refusal just gave him a step forward. You can download it.

Then, Varys thought about it and said, "In that case, I will help you prepare the Valyrian steel. I will send it to you whenever you need it."

Lind was stunned when he heard this, and asked: "Wait a minute, Lord Varys, didn't you only provide the storage location of Valyrian steel?"

Varys, whose mood gradually returned to normal, smiled and said, "Actually, the Valyrian steel storage location I mentioned is not far away, it's underground in the Red Keep."

Lind was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to be so close to Valyrian steel.

Varys continued: "The Targaryens have been using various methods to collect Valyrian steel. Over the past few hundred years, they have collected a lot of Valyrian steel. It's just because they don't understand Valyrian steel. The Valyrian steel was not used for the recasting process of Lelyan steel and could only be stored in the secret vault. Before King's Landing was breached, the Mad King moved these things to the underground secret passage under the Red Keep. It is still stored there. There is enough Valyrian steel for you to build a suit of full body armor and two knight's swords."

As he spoke, he paused and continued: "Although Lord Linde is powerful enough, it is probably impossible for you to enter the Red Keep and find the Valyrian steel belt underground. But I am different. , With my identity and understanding of the underground secret passages, it is not difficult to take out those things in the tunnel and send them away from the Red Fort. "

Seeing what Wallis said, Lind didn't show any pretense and agreed to Wallis' proposal.

But Varys looked embarrassed again and said: "However, I can only transport Valyrian steel out, and only blacksmiths who know special craftsmanship can make these Valyrian steel into armor and weapons. To this day, only the blacksmiths of Qohor have mastered the craft of recasting."

Linde said: "You don't have to worry about the craftsman. I know someone who has also mastered this craft."

"Who?" Varys was a little surprised, because coming from the continent of Essos, he knew very well how strict Qohor's control over this craft knowledge was, and anyone who dared to test this technology would be severely punished.

"The heir to the largest blacksmith shop on Steel Street." Linde answered without hiding anything.

Wallis thought for a while and confirmed: "It's Clin Mott's son who went out to study."

"Yes." Linde nodded and said, "The place where he learned his art was in Qohor. Now he has returned from his studies and should be on his way back." After saying that, he paused and said: " When the time comes, Lord Varys, you can give him the Valyrian steel to reforge, and let him build the armor and knight's sword according to my design."

"Did you design it?" Wallis looked at Linde in surprise.

"Yes, I designed it." Linde nodded and said, "To be precise, it was designed by God. I just drew it."
