Casting spells

He was interrupted at a critical moment, and immediately shouted loudly without looking back: "Damn it! Didn't I say that no matter what happens, don't bother me until dawn?"

"I'm sorry to interrupt your good business, but I have an account that needs to be settled with you immediately!"

Accompanied by a familiar voice, Zhang Cheng's figure suddenly appeared at the door of the room, his eyes filled with chill.

"You... why are you here?!!" Seeing the person who should have died standing in front of him, Baelish was so frightened that his desire disappeared, and he subconsciously wanted to turn around and look for a window or something to escape.

Unfortunately, in order to keep the secret, this room has no windows at all, only a secret door leading to the escape secret passage, and the entrance of this secret passage is under the bed.

Now, Sansa is holding down the opening mechanism, he can't open the entrance at all, and escape is even more impossible...

Chapter 182

"Why, do you think I'm so unbearable in your mind that you think that a mere priestess of the King of Light can kill me?" Zhang Cheng asked with a sneer, kicking away the woman who was lying in the corridor trying to stop him. The corpse closed the door again.

Although he had long expected that the other party would tear up the covenant and attack him sooner or later, he underestimated Little Finger's growing ambition and his natural risk-taking character.

According to his initial judgment, the covenant between the three should last until Baelish completely controls the valley.

But who would have thought that this guy would not play cards according to common sense at all, completely disregarding the serious consequences of failure, and even very cleverly used the nominal relationship between Sansa and Tyrion.

You must know that Zhang Cheng's character has never lacked caution. When getting along with people like Varys and Littlefinger, he hardly touches the food or wine prepared by the other party.

But the little devil was obviously not the kind of person who would poison, so he subconsciously relaxed his vigilance, ignoring Sansa, a girl who was stupid and easily manipulated.

"You're still alive, so that means Jinvara failed? She's dead?!" Baelish's face was full of disbelief.

He couldn't believe that, as the first priest of the King of Light, Jinwala, who was many times stronger than the red witch Melisandre, would die at the hands of this unknown guy in front of him.

Zhang Cheng grabbed a chair casually, sat down unhurriedly, and responded in a sarcastic tone: "Yes! Otherwise, do you think I will give her a second chance? No, my attitude towards enemies has always been Be very serious, and never change because of the other party's gender, age, and background. In addition, do you know what your biggest mistake is? It's not the growing ambition, nor the inferiority complex hidden behind the ambition, it's your lack of confidence in magic power It is this lack of understanding that made you make a wrong judgment. Now, tell me, do you have any last words?"

"Wait!" Hearing the word last words, Baelish's pupils shrank instantly, and he quickly stepped back a few steps and shouted to stop.

"Oh? With such a blatant act of betrayal, you still expect me to let you go?" Zhang Cheng saw through the other party's intention at a glance, and the corners of his mouth curled up to reveal an undisguised mockery.

To be honest, on the way here, he was still thinking about how to torture Littlefinger in a cruel way, but after seeing him with his own eyes, he didn't have such a strong feeling of revenge.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but as the number of murders increased, he began to take life and death lightly. Not only could he watch the fresh lives disappear indifferently, but he could also calmly accept that he would die at a certain point in the future. will be killed by others.

After all, whether it is the natural world or the so-called civilized society, it is essentially a game between hunters and prey. No one can guarantee that they will always be hunters and not become prey.

The only thing he can do is to learn to adapt, and even enjoy this feeling of tension and life hanging by a thread.

"Don't you want to know what role Varys played in this matter, and where is he hiding now?" Petyr Baelish asked back after taking a deep breath.

He obviously knew very well what to say to save his own life right now, so he betrayed his accomplice without hesitation.

Anyway, betrayal and betrayal are already familiar to him, and there is no psychological or moral obstacle.

Looking at the strong desire to survive revealed in the eyes of the other party, Zhang Cheng suddenly smiled, and sighed while laughing: "Dear Earl, you are really a person who will not give up any hope easily. Well, then I will listen to you." What interesting things can you say that will make me dispel the idea of ​​killing you."

Realizing that his life would not be in imminent danger, Baelish's tense nerves relaxed a little bit, and he didn't even look at Sansa who was in a trance on the bed and groaned slightly from time to time, and explained sincerely: "Maybe you can tell me." You won't believe it, in fact, the plan to kill you was not proposed by me, but Varys. He and the high-ranking priests of the Lord of Light have always had secrets, and only he can tell the truth about gold. Vala traveled across the ocean to deal with you."

"Hahahaha! So, you were just accidentally involved?" Zhang Chengzhen couldn't help laughing.

He had always thought that Littlefinger was a more or less bottom-line guy, but now it seemed that he was a bit wrong, the other party's shamelessness was far beyond imagination.

"No, I will not deny that I want to get rid of you, nor will I deny that I am involved in it. The point I want to make is that I am not a big threat to you. The real threat to you is our mutual friend Varys. Besides, just half an hour ago, as if anticipating Kinvara's defeat, he sneaked out of King's Landing for Essos by boat. No one knows where he went except me. Please think Think about it, will you kill me immediately and let the real damn person escape, or leave me to help you find Varys?" After that, Baelish closed his mouth decisively, clenched his fists and waited patiently for an answer.

Zhang Cheng rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then nodded quickly: "I have to admit, what you said makes sense. Maybe Varys secretly planned this attack. The purpose was not to kill me, but to use my hands to kill me. Jinwala and you. In a way, he is far more threatening than you. Because what you desire in your heart is to gain power, not to hide in a dark corner and live humblely like a mouse. But he is different, he is a person who is used to being with shadows by nature, if he is allowed to run away, it will be very troublesome in the future."

"A wise choice! I have learned enough lessons, and I will never dare to be your enemy again." Baelish hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and solemnly swore the oath.

"Oath? Haha, no, Earl, I never believed in oaths. There is a saying in my hometown that the reason why people sign a contract is to tear it up in the future, and the reason why people take an oath is to break it in the future. If I'm not wrong, you've probably made countless vows, please tell me, which one you have kept?" Zhang Cheng asked mercilessly.

"Then what do you have to do to believe me?" Baelish raised his head and looked directly into Zhang Cheng's eyes.

"It's very simple! The reason why most people fear the law is not that the law itself is worthy of respect, but because they fear the punishment for breaking the law. In the same way, if you can understand that you will never escape from betraying me again, you will naturally not What's wrong with you. Come, give me a drop of your blood, I just learned some interesting blood magic, and now it's time to use it..."

Chapter 183 Blood Magic

Blood magic, as the name suggests, is a special magic performed through blood.

According to Clonada's description, since the blood contains a part of the soul fragments, it can be used to curse, restrain, or even force someone to submit to his will, and what's more, he can use it as a medium to summon a terrible monster. Monsters, shadow magic is a branch of blood magic.

At the beginning, Zhang Cheng always felt that the blood magic in A Song of Ice and Fire should be very similar to the curses used by warlocks in the world of Azeroth.

But in fact, although the two have something in common, they are completely opposite in essence.

The essence of a warlock is to see himself as a door, a channel connecting the Burning Legion, fel energy, and shadow energy, and use this channel to complete various spells.

That is to say, their strength does not depend on how much energy they have stored, or how violently they can resonate during the spell shaping process, they just need to expand the channel enough to allow more and stronger energy to interact with them. The devil came through.

The blood magic in A Song of Ice and Fire relies heavily on the energy stored by the caster itself, especially shadow magic and death curse, which require a huge price to be used every time.

Of course, since Zhang Cheng's current understanding of blood magic is only at the theoretical stage, he can't cast too advanced and complicated spells, but he can't use too advanced spells to deal with mere ordinary people.

As a drop of blood was injected with energy, a lifelike and hideous monster pattern was formed on the back of Littlefinger's hand in the blink of an eye.

Feeling the deep malice in the pattern, Baelish involuntarily shivered, and asked in an uncertain tone, "What is this?"

"It's nothing, I drew power from the dark side of your soul and created a little interesting thing. But don't worry, as long as I don't take the initiative to wake it up, it will stay asleep forever." Zhang Cheng gave a smile. There is an answer.

"What if it is awakened?" Littlefinger frowned and continued to ask.

Obviously, he was not satisfied with the explanation just now, to be precise, he wanted to figure out what the worst outcome would be.

"Hehe, do you still remember how Renly died?" Zhang Cheng pursed his lips, his eyes revealed a meaningful light.

"You mean...if it is awakened, a terrifying shadow killer will appear?!"

Whether it was because of nervousness or anger, Baelish's voice raised an octave when he said this, and the other hand hidden under the robe clenched into a fist.

Zhang Cheng deliberately pretended not to see the other party's fierce reaction, and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly: "Probably, I only know that it will appear in the form of a shadow. As for whether it is a killer or something else, that's unclear." Got it. After all, only you know the deepest dark side of your heart, don’t you? Dear Earl, I sincerely suggest that you carefully consider whether you have the ability to bear the corresponding consequences before making any stupid decisions. This Once, I guarantee that your sister will not have another chance to escape."

"As you wish, my honorable master." Baelish knelt on one knee and bowed his head deeply to make himself look more humble.

But what was going on in his mind at the moment, only he knew clearly.

An ambitious and conspirator like Littlefinger can never truly submit to a certain person. He will always hide in the dark and plan one conspiracy after another until he removes all the stumbling blocks that stand in the way of his power.

Regarding this point, Zhang Cheng is quite clear, but he is confident in controlling and making good use of this dangerous but very useful chess piece, and it is also a kind of exercise for his ability to control his subordinates.

According to the usual style of the owner behind the parchment scroll, since the other party has given him the task of exercising his tactics, he will definitely use this part of his abilities at some point in the future.

Although he has always been vigilant against the mysterious parchment, he never denies the guiding role it played in his growth.

Looking at Littlefinger half kneeling in front of him, Zhang Cheng folded his hands on his chest, and said bluntly: "I know, you just lied to me when you said you knew Varys' whereabouts, octospiders never Leak your whereabouts to anyone. But it doesn't matter, I will give you three days to investigate and track, if there is no accurate answer after three days, I will let you know what a painful price you need to pay for cheating me. Remember, don't try to escape Or hide, even if you run to the end of the ocean, I can activate this funny little thing with just one thought."
