Casting spells

Under the feudal system, no nobleman would like a strong king, and no nobleman would like a sharp sword hanging above his head all the time, and the sword at the moment is the flame magic that Zhang Cheng is teaching Joffrey.

Watching the two disappear at the end of the corridor one after the other, Tywin immediately tapped on the table lightly: "I believe you have already seen that this Mason is more difficult to deal with than we imagined. What do you think should be done next?"

"No matter what method is used, he must stop teaching magic to Joffrey. A king who has great power and is not restrained is not what we want." Metz, Duke of Highgarden, clearly expressed his attitude.

"That's right! Joffrey must not be allowed to continue to lose control! He has already burned twelve servants to death this month! If this continues, he will become the second Mad King sooner or later." Olenna Redwyne firmly agreed road.

"Perhaps . . . he was trying to press us for a better deal in this way. Father, I think you could let Tyrion talk about his tone. Besides, I don't think a man of his type would Bound by marriage." Cersei made a suggestion in a low voice.

"Okay, today's imperial meeting is here first, let's figure out what Mason wants first. In addition, give this information to Tyrion so that he can take a good look at what kind of person the so-called friend is. "After that, Tywin pushed the note on his hand forward.

I saw that it recorded in detail the truth about the battle that took place in the alley yesterday and the strange deaths of thousands of civilians...

Chapter 1: The Son of the Forest

The Red Keep, located on Aegon High Hill in King's Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, is not only a strong fortification, but also the location of the royal palace.

Many people who don't know the truth always think that such a politically significant and iconic building should be in the center of the city.

But the fact is quite the opposite. Not only is the Red Castle not in the center of King’s Landing, but it was built in an inconspicuous corner. To be exact, it can’t even be considered as being in the city, but stands alone on the cliff next to the moat. The city walls are closely connected.

Standing on the highest point of the Red Castle, you can overlook the port below, as well as the densely populated residential areas, markets and squares in the city, especially those busy civilians like ants, which often bring an incomparable sense of satisfaction to the owner of the castle and a sense of accomplishment.

It is said that when it was built, the Targaryen family slaughtered all the workers and stonemasons involved in the construction and shooting in order to ensure that the internal secrets would not be known to the outside world. Now no one knows what is hidden in the intricate secret passages underground. what.

At this moment, Zhang Cheng was standing on the balcony of the king's bedroom, condescendingly looking down at this backward city mixed with medieval and renaissance styles, and asked without looking back: "Your Majesty, you seem to have said that you have a gift to give I?"

"Hahahaha! That's right! But this gift is a bit special, I didn't put it in the room. Please wait a moment, I'll have someone bring it up." After finishing speaking, Joffrey rushed to the guard at the door winked.

Without saying a word, the latter immediately turned around and left the room. About seven or eight minutes later, a little guy with a height of less than 8 meters, dark chestnut skin and big ears came in.

Although it gave off an unpleasant smell due to its long-term imprisonment in the dungeon, those golden eyes and three weird fingers all proved that she was not a human being in the ordinary sense at all.

"Oh? A living child of the forest?! Your gift really gave me a big surprise." Zhang Cheng recognized the other party's race almost instantly, and a chilling research desire was released in his eyes.

There is no doubt that a living child of the forest can help him solve countless questions and problems.

For example, what are the ghosts, and what is the principle of the frost spells they use?

For example, what are the transformation spells and mind control spells used by the children of the forest?

You must know that in the entire world of A Song of Ice and Fire, there are only two magical civilizations in the true sense, one of which is the Valyrian civilization. He has obtained the corresponding knowledge and principles now, and the next thing to do is to learn slowly Understand until you digest what belongs to you in the city.

As for the other one, it is of course the strange civilization created by the children of the forest.

Perhaps the magic system mastered by these little people is far less destructive and destructive than the Valyrians, but it is more flexible and changeable, very similar to the druids of Azeroth.

Zhang Cheng wants to take this opportunity to uncover the mystery of energy attributes.

According to the definition given by the magic kingdom Dalaran, according to the form of energy existence and its unique characteristics, it can be mainly divided into the following categories: pure and flawless positive energy, also known as sacred energy; Natural energy; arcane energy with changeable and powerful plasticity; shadow energy from distorted time and space; negative energy born from pain and death, also known as death energy; the last one is the dark titan Sargeras and The terrifying fel power wielded by his Burning Legion.

Obviously, in Azeroth, there is no necessary connection between these energies. Even with the exception of a few lucky ones, most spellcasters who accept one of them cannot accept the second for life.

But in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, this cognition of the boundary between energy and energy is completely broken.

The Valyrians created unique fire magic with the knowledge they got from the dragon and the energy brought by the red comet, and the children of the forest created a druid-like magic with the same energy. Natural magic, while the Northern White Walkers use frost spells that outsiders cannot understand. The Rhoynar, who once posed a huge threat to Valyria, have developed water magic that is strong enough to resist dragon flames.

Zhang Cheng wanted to find out whether the nature of energy in the two worlds was different, or the mages of Dalaran were limited by their inherent thinking, and did not realize that there was actually a hidden transformation method between energy and energy.

If he can discover this transformation method, then not only will his strength be greatly enhanced, but he will also be exposed to some more essential things of magic.

Joffrey didn't know the fanatical thirst for knowledge and power in the other party's heart. He pointed to the child of the forest lying on the ground and said, "I'm glad you like this little gift. You know, it's a loss for me to grab it. It has six well-trained hounds and fourteen experienced guards. Be careful, it will transform into ferocious beasts such as wolves, bears, tigers, etc. It can also control plants such as vines to trip opponents. "

"Hehe, you must worry. In front of me, his weak magic won't do anything at all." While talking, Zhang Cheng came to the captured Son of the Forest and asked with a smile on his face, "Tell me Your name, little one, I think you have a name, don't you?"

"Deadwood, my name is Deadwood..." The Son of the Forest gave the answer in a singing-like manner.

His voice was so melodious that just a few words caused joy and joy to everyone in the room.

Zhang Cheng nodded lightly: "Okay, Deadwood. Tell me, why were you caught, where are your people?"

The son of the forest who called himself Deadwood first glanced at the chains on his hands in disgust, then looked at Joffrey who was proud, and finally replied slowly: "My people are all dead, I am the I am the last survivor. The reason why I appeared in your human world is actually to convey a warning to you according to the ancient covenant. The enemies from the extremely cold north have returned, and they will soon join with Winter to fight for This world brings despair and death."

There is no doubt that the enemies he refers to are [-]% the White Walkers outside the Great Wall.

"How do you know?" Zhang Cheng stared at the other party's eyes with great interest and asked.

"Dream, I foresee everything in the dream. Let me go, human, I still need to pass this terrible news to more people." Deadwood obviously has no experience in dealing with people, let alone how miserable his future will be .

Chapter 191 The Intentional Teaching

Looking at the pure and impurity-free eyes of the child of the forest, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but chuckled and shook his head: "Sorry, little guy, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request. Because you are so precious, whether it is you The knowledge in your head, or the magical ability you have, are of great research value to me. Simply put, from now on, you are my captive, and the object of research and study."

"Greed, desire, ambition...human beings, I feel naked and undisguised malice from you. No matter what you want from me, I guarantee that you will not get what you want." Dead Wood raised his head without a trace Emotional tones responded.

Obviously, he did not understand the true meaning of the so-called "study" and "research".

"Haha! Don't be so sure, please believe me, in this matter, you have no right to refuse at all. Well, let's stop here for today's talk, you need to sleep well now in order to deal with the next It was an experiment full of pain and despair." After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng took out a bottle of purple-red radiant potion from his pocket, squeezed open the opponent's mouth and poured it in.

Although the child of the forest resisted desperately, as the liquid flowed down his throat into the digestive system, he fell into a trance in just one or two minutes, and finally closed his eyes completely and fell to the ground with a plop, making a slight snoring sound .

Joffrey kicked the little man's head and asked with great interest, "What did you give it to drink?"

"It's nothing, it's an inconspicuous hypnotic. Anyone who drinks a little can completely forget their troubles and enter the sweetest dreamland. Moreover, in the dreamland, the user will quickly recover their physical strength and energy, and wait until they wake up again. When it is time, there will even be a feeling of being reborn." Zhang Cheng explained while releasing the dead wood from the steel shackles.

Because he could clearly sense that, for some unknown reason, the iron products were continuously weakening the magical ability and vitality of the Children of the Forest.

No wonder the ancestors were able to fight inseparably with the children of the forest who possessed powerful magical power with simple weapons and armor. It turns out that the children of the forest have a fatal weakness, that is, they are afraid of iron products.

Just being bound by iron shackles will lose one's own ability, what if it is pierced by a sharp sword?

The obvious answer is that the chances of survival are slim to none.

Coupled with the reproduction of the children of the forest, it is not like humans, as long as large-scale wars and plagues do not break out, the number will double.The number will double.

In essence, compared with animals, they are closer to intelligent life evolved from plants such as tree people, so no matter in terms of fertility rate or growth speed, they cannot compare with humans. In the end, in this cruel competition , gradually became the losing party and was forced to withdraw from the stage of history.

It is sometimes difficult for Zhang Cheng to understand why nature created such a race that is close to harmony and perfection, but it also gave them a fatal weakness. On the contrary, humans who appear to be mediocre on the surface can often use them at an extremely fast speed. In all kinds of harsh environments, even if there is a devastating disaster outside, they can still survive and rebuild civilization by relying on the survival ability of "Xiaoqiang".

Just when he felt a little sorry that the children of the forest were going to perish, the lonely Joffrey touched his beloved ring and urged him impatiently: "Mason, it's yours, you can take it back later. Study slowly, now is the time to tell me, what should I do next to make the flames I release more powerful?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you have to understand that the most important thing to learn magic is to be patient. Due to your understanding of fire magic, I think the next thing to do is not to blindly increase the power, but to figure out the source of your own power " Zhang Cheng stood up unhurriedly and replied with a smile on his face.

He knew very well in his heart that the more magical knowledge he taught, the closer the king would be to death.

The reason is very simple. The reason why the Tyrell family proposed marriage is to influence or even control the young king through their best means, so as to expand their power and influence.

According to the original plot, Olenna Redwyne decided to change her marriage partner by poisoning Joffrey only after she learned that Joffrey was violent and cruel.
