Casting spells

Zhang Cheng sneered and shook his head: "Hehe, no, you are wrong, Blanco. Maybe for ordinary men, it is not a big deal to be greedy for beauty, but for a person in power, if he can't control his lower body desire, then lust will become a fatal weakness and be exploited by the enemy. From now on, you'd better start to learn restraint, otherwise even if I promote you to become a nobleman, you will soon be defeated by various schemes and tricks Come on. Also, what do you think is the purpose of my rewarding Bobby?"

"Purpose?" Blanco was taken aback.

He obviously didn't think about it, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Yes! Purpose! You have to understand that everything I do has a strong purpose. Think about it, how many people will hate me after I eradicate the Florens family? How many people are secretly waiting for the opportunity to overthrow my rule? But now, if you look at the expressions and eyes of everyone in the hall, do they hate Bobby more than me?" Zhang Cheng explained with a playful face.

Blanco subconsciously scanned the hall, and found that many people looked at Bobby with hatred in their eyes, and some even clenched their fists tightly, as if they might violently kill someone at any time.

"So that's how it is...you want to use him to divert hatred." He stroked the thick stubble on his chin and murmured thoughtfully.

"That's right! But this is only the first half of my plan. In the next period of time, I will give Bobby a lot of power and let him do all the hateful things for me. Wait until this hatred and hatred accumulate At a certain point, I will execute him in public for any crime. At that time, the people living in this land will no longer hate me, but appreciate and respect. Know Gregor Clegane? Many people think He is a brutal executioner, but few people know that everything this executioner does comes from the Lannister family. Remember, most people in the world are stupid, very easy to be misled and fooled, as long as you master Once you know the method, you can easily control their emotions and even their behavior..."

Zhang Cheng didn't mean to hide anything, he openly revealed his arrangement for Bobby.

Although this method of "raising pigs" and "killing pigs" has long been played to death by the rulers of all dynasties in China, it is still a little secret of very few rulers in Westeros.

"Thank you for your teaching, I think I understand." The old mercenary bowed deeply with one hand on his chest, and then looked at the man not far away who was venting his desire with sympathetic eyes.

He finally realized that the reason why the other party was able to enjoy the extraordinary reward in advance was not to be reused, but to be thrown out as a victim to divert the attention of the common people.

In this way, with the help of the "leading party" among the surrendered soldiers, Zhang Cheng quickly occupied Liangshui City, and began to count and receive the wealth accumulated by the Florens family for hundreds of years.

In addition, more than 2000 troops were also divided into three teams, one of which was garrisoned by 600 people in the castle, and the remaining two teams of 1000 people each walked along the main road to sweep the large and small knight territories within a radius of 150 kilometers.

Zhang Cheng didn't intend to keep any of these guys who were at the bottom of the feudal system's pyramid ruling structure.

To be exact, he doesn't think these so-called "knights" are useful at all. Instead of wasting time and money on them, it's better to recruit more mercenaries. Performance is impeccable.

With the absolute advantage of "Dragon Flame" and the number of soldiers, in about half a month, the vassals who were originally loyal to the Florent family were completely wiped out, leaving only empty castles.

In order to fill the vacuum in governance, Zhang Cheng rewarded these castles and surrounding lands to the mercenaries who were loyal to him, including Blanco, and promoted them to become nobles.

However, in order to prevent these idiots from messing up the territory, he also personally formed a small bureaucratic system to firmly control administrative and economic power in his own hands.

When the news that the little devil was going to marry Sansa Stark spread from King's Landing to Brightwater City, Zhang Cheng finally completed the integration of the territory. settle down.

After all, for ordinary people, the way the new lord dealt with the nobles might be cruel, but it didn't affect their lives, so they began to gradually accept the name Mason Asprin.

They don't know that their lord has quietly dug a hidden cave on the cliff of the mountain behind the castle, and the person living in it is nothing but a long and ferocious dragon. dragon...

Chapter 145 Kuro Kerba

"The body is six meters long, the wingspan is eight meters, the thickness of the scales is close to three millimeters, and the largest tooth is more than ten centimeters..."

"I have to say, as a creature that was born less than four months ago, your growth rate is really amazing."

While talking to himself, Zhang Cheng checked the body of the dragon lying on the ground to confirm that it was not sick, and made a detailed research record by the way.

After observing for a period of time, he can basically confirm that the saying that the dragon cannot be kept in captivity, otherwise the body size will be inferior from generation to generation is simply not true.

Because his dragon has been confined in a relatively closed environment for more than 90.00% of the time from birth to now, but his body is still growing wildly as before, especially the proportion of unknown substances flowing in the blood has changed from zero percent at the beginning. At a few o'clock, it has increased to more than 15.00% now.

He can guarantee that if a cold weapon such as a spear or a sword is pierced into the dragon's body, it will melt into molten iron in at most ten seconds.

Obviously, there is only one thing that really restricts the lifespan and size of the dragon, and that is the mysterious energy brought by the red comet.

As long as the mysterious energy is sufficient, the dragon will not die naturally, but will continue to grow until it becomes a giant beast with a body length of more than 200 meters.

What's even more frightening is that it's not known if there was a genetic mutation during the transformation process. Whenever Zhang Cheng got close to the young dragon, a small amount of the arcane energy in his body would be sucked out uncontrollably.

Although this kind of suction is not very strong at present, it can be avoided as long as a little attention is paid.

But for some reason, he always had a hunch that once this dragon entered Azeroth, where the air was filled with countless energies, it would instantly undergo tremendous changes far beyond his imagination.

"Roar!"

Maybe it took too long to check the body, or maybe it was hungry. In short, the young dragon, which was less than one year old, stretched out its huge head, gently arched its master, and let out a low growl of dissatisfaction.

"Okay, don't worry, it'll be over soon." Without looking back, Zhang Cheng pushed Long's nostrils that were constantly emitting hot air.

Just when he was about to bend down to check the dragon's claws, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned around and said to the impatient young dragon: "By the way, it seems that I haven't given you a name since you were born. As the saying goes, it is better to hit the sun than to choose the day, how about I give you a famous name today?"

"Ow?"

The young dragon was stunned for a moment, waiting for two innocent eyes, as if asking what the hell is the name?Can I eat it?

"A name is a code name. For example, you are a dragon, but a dragon is not your name, but a collective name for a creature similar to you. You must have a name that belongs to you. Do you understand?" With a confused look on his face, Zhang Cheng had no choice but to explain patiently.

"Woo..." The young dragon seemed to understand the meaning, and nodded slightly in agreement.

Although its intelligence is still at the level of a six or seven-year-old human child, its comprehension ability is not bad, and it can even execute more complex tactical orders.

"Then what should I call you?" Zhang Cheng stroked his chin and began to search his memory for famous dragons in various myths and legends, books, games, and film and television works, and quickly locked on one of them. "What do you think of Kuro Kerba? It is a magic dragon in Celtic mythology. It was summoned by the demon god Balor and killed many gods, including the god king Nuada and the goddess Maha."

The young dragon only hesitated for less than a second, and immediately let out a roar of different lengths, as if expressing the joy and excitement in his heart.

"Hehe, as long as you like it. Remember, from today onwards you are Kuro Kerba, don't let your name down. Now go out for food while it's dark, and remember to come back before the sun rises. I don’t want you to be exposed too early.” After that, Zhang Cheng patted the young dragon’s head, turned around and walked towards the experimenter placed not far away.

The reason why he dug the cave was not only to give the dragon a hiding place, but more importantly, to continue his research without interference.

You must know that since he discovered how the dragon uses the mysterious energy permeating the air to release flames, he has made good progress through simulation. Now he can use props to release fireballs, fire walls, fire rain, flame jets, etc. Several kinds of extremely destructive magic.

The only regret is that these spells require a long time to prepare, even the simplest flame spray takes more than ten seconds to guide, and it has been so long in the battle that I don't know how many times I have been hacked to death.

In addition, the single damage attribute is also a big problem. At least "Dragon Mother" Daenerys Targaryen and his three dragons are not very afraid of flames.

If it wasn't for the last bottle of well water to replenish the magic power, Zhang Cheng would have gone to the north of the Great Wall to catch a strange ghost and come back to study and find out how these guys use mysterious energy to create frost.

Of course, he can only imagine now, and dare not put it into practice at all, at least he will not act rashly until Kuro Kerba grows to 20 meters.

In fact, all he can do now is to shorten the steps and preparation time for releasing the fire spell as much as possible, and read the latest information on the children of the forest at most when he has free time.

It has to be said that although these natives of Westeros have created a brilliant magical civilization, they subconsciously regard it as a kind of belief and religion, whether it is a complicated ceremony or a spell like a eulogy, Without exception, they are full of respect and worship of the old gods.

Since it is a religion and belief, it is naturally mixed with a lot of useless things. It is difficult to distinguish those parts that really resonate with energy and those that are pure modifiers.

After all, Dalaran was the starting point for Zhang Cheng to come into contact with mysterious power, and Dalaran has always been determined to establish a complete system in terms of its attitude towards magic. Through the combination of theory and practice, it will create stronger, newer, more Powerful spells are almost the same as the attitude of people on earth to explore science.

Therefore, in his eyes, magic should be a kind of rigorous knowledge, not a power that can only be obtained by begging for the bestowal from the gods.

Because of this, he couldn't understand the thoughts and mentality of the children of the forest, and he couldn't decipher a large number of misleading words and pictures.

Fortunately, the children of the forest are not yet completely extinct. According to the plot, Bran Stark will encounter the last few remaining. In theory, he still has the opportunity to obtain the knowledge and magical power of the children of the forest.

In order not to miss these important moments, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and hired a large number of spies to continuously deliver news to Liangshui City.

When Robb Stark, the last one who started the rebellion, died in the bloody wedding, a raven slowly landed on the top floor of the castle.
