Casting spells

"Long time no see, dear Mason, it's a pleasure to fight with you this time." Loras rushed forward with open arms and gave him a warm hug.

"Thank you, I am very grateful to the Tyrell family for sending so many reinforcements at the critical moment." Zhang Cheng responded politely.

Although he didn't like this "Knight of Hundred Flowers" with a problematic sexual orientation, no matter what, the other party brought a batch of high-quality cannon fodder that could be consumed.

In contrast, Jaime Lannister's expression was much more complicated.

He stood there obviously hesitating for a few seconds, and then stretched out his intact hand: "Hello, Mason. I didn't expect so many things to happen last time we said goodbye."

"That's right! I didn't even expect that with Tyrion's lazy character, he would be provoked by some guys with ulterior motives and commit the terrible crime of killing his father." Zhang Cheng hinted with a pun.

"Annoyed by a guy with ulterior motives? What do you mean!" James, who has always been lacking in scheming, immediately asked loudly.

Zhang Cheng smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "It's nothing. Do you remember Tyrion's first marriage? Someone told him the truth on purpose. Imagine when a lot of resentment has accumulated in one's heart, followed by How would he react when he suddenly learned that his first love had been treated like that and that he had been deceived for decades? Dear James, I am afraid you still don’t understand, since Joffrey’s death, the whole This thing is a plot, a huge plot against the Lannisters."

"Who is behind the scenes? Tell me!" The kingslayer seemed to realize something, and excitedly wanted to grab the other party's collar.

But before he got close, Zhang Cheng raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

With the crisp sound echoing in the air, a dazzling arcane missile jumped out from between his fingers, knocked James into the air with a bang, and then fell heavily to the ground.

The impact was so powerful that the breastplate made of fine steel was obviously dented.

Seeing his distressed appearance, Zhang Cheng raised the corner of his mouth and said meaningfully: "Don't be so impulsive. Some things, it's more interesting to find the answer slowly than others tell you. Please believe me, when you find the mastermind , will be amazed."

"Hahahaha! It's wonderful! Your Majesty Mason, thank you for letting me see the true face of magic!" Oberyn laughed and clapped his hands, completely ignoring the "Kingslayer"'s emotions.

Maybe others don't know well, but the private life of the Prince of Dorne, who is dissolute in his private life, has reached a secret agreement with Daenerys' brother Viserys in private, that is, when Targaryen returns to Westeros to start a battle for the throne At that time, Dawn will raise his troops to rebel, overthrow the rule of the Baratheon family, and at the same time completely destroy the Lannister family, and avenge his sister Elia, but Zhang Cheng, who has read the original book, knows it very well.

He understood that the reason why the other party applauded loudly was not because of the Arcane Missile he had just cast, but because he severely humiliated the eldest son of the Lannister family, who was also the nominal heir of the family.

Maybe in the eyes of many people, Cersei is the ruler of the Lannister family after Tywin's death, but in fact, the reason why she can do this is entirely based on her brother's [-]% obedience. Once James refuses her If it is dominated by the Lannister family, then the relatives and vassals of the Lannister family will immediately turn to support the latter.

Sensing the undisguised malice of the "Red Viper" towards Lannister, a hint of mischief flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes, and he responded with a smile: "Please don't be polite, this little trick is nothing. If you don't mind, Can I invite you to a private party later? I have a friend who I want to introduce to you."

"Of course! It's my honor!" Oberyn put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly.

After the simple exchange of greetings, everyone sat down one after another, even James, who had lost face severely just now, did not leave.

Looking at the thirty or so feudal lords from different regions in the living room, Zhang Cheng tapped on the table lightly: "Everyone, I think you have all heard the news that a dangerous enemy is coming soon. He Not only does it have an army of unprecedented scale, but it also has a full ten dragons..."

"and many more!"

Before he could finish speaking, a bald, fat man in his fifties stood up and interrupted.

"You are?" Zhang Cheng squinted his eyes and looked up and down.

Obviously, judging from the color of his beard and his attire, he undoubtedly belonged to the Lannister family.

But for some reason, Zhang Cheng had never met each other on a formal occasion.

"This is my uncle—Kevon, he is now the commander of the Lannister family's army." James stood up and introduced.

Zhang Cheng nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, Sir Kevan, please."

"I want to know, are all these ten dragons real? How big are the biggest ones, how small are the smallest ones, and how many of them can really pose a threat to our army?" Kevan Lannister raised the sharpest question as soon as he opened his mouth. The problem.

Maybe it was because he cared about the outcome of the war, or maybe it was just to vent his anger on his nephew. He was clearly making things difficult for Zhang Cheng on purpose.

Chapter 229 Dorn's Poison

As we all know, a dragon is a magical creature that can fly freely in the sky, and its eyesight is far sharper than that of raptors such as eagles and falcons. It can observe moving targets on the ground from more than ten kilometers away.

If someone wants to observe a dragon at a close distance, he will be spotted by the dragon before he gets close. As a result, you don't need to guess, it must be burned to death by the dragon or eaten as a snack.

Obviously, as a member of the long-established Lannister family, Kevan couldn't be unaware that no one could approach a dragon quietly, let alone figure out their size and shape.

However, Zhang Cheng did not get angry because of the other party's unreasonable troubles. Instead, he replied with a smile on his face: "That's right, the ten dragons are real. As for how big the biggest dragon is and how small the smallest dragon is, it has nothing to do with you." No, I will take care of them all. All you have to do is manage your soldiers and try not to cause me any extra trouble."

"What do you mean? Don't you need the help of the Lannister family's invincible army?" Kevan frowned and asked loudly.

"Invincible? Hahahaha! I'm sorry, you must have forgotten the tragedy of being defeated again and again by the young wolf lord Robb Stark not long ago, right? If he hadn't committed a stupid and fatal It is not certain who is in charge of King’s Landing City now. Please remember, sir, don’t overestimate yourself, you and your poor reinforcements are nothing in my eyes.” Zhang Cheng was not polite said sarcastically.

In fact, since Tywin's death, Lannister has lost his use value for him, and he just took this opportunity to completely tear his face, and some people in the province always have some unrealistic fantasies, thinking that The secret agreement between him and Tywin can continue.

Such a naked humiliation, not to mention the always proud Kevan, even James, who had just experienced a miserable life as a captive, couldn't help but change his face.

Without even saying a word, they stood up and left the reception room directly, followed by all the vassals of the Lannister family, and disappeared at the end of the dim corridor in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the suddenly empty hall, Oberyn suddenly laughed and joked: "My dear friend, in front of a strong enemy, you drove away a precious reinforcement. I'm afraid this is not a wise choice?"

Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter! As long as they stay in Old Town, sooner or later they will become pawns under my control. On the contrary, you, the famous Red Viper, did you bring any surprises? As far as I know , Martell is the only family that has killed dragons, you must have some unique methods, right?"

You must know that the residents of the entire Westeros continent know that the Dornish people like and are best at using poison.

Many Dorne nobles secretly kept deadly poisons, even if they were as strong as a dragon, they could not resist them. According to legend, the giant crossbow that shot through Meraxes' eyes was smeared with a terrible toxin, which caused the conqueror Aegon's sister and wife, Rhaenys, was killed, and the First Dorne War was defeated.

Of course, there is another theory that Renis did not die, but was captured by the Dornish people and held in a dungeon to suffer inhuman torture and pain.

Zhang Cheng didn't care at all what would happen to this legendary woman. He just wanted to know what kind of poison it was, and even a dragon with amazing magic resistance couldn't resist it.

"Hehe, it is rumored that you are a knowledgeable and wise person, and it is true when I saw you today. Here, this is a small gift that my brother asked me to bring to you. I hope it can help you in the upcoming war. Please be careful, this It only takes a little bit of this poison to instantly kill the whales in the sea." After finishing speaking, Oberyn took out an exquisite copper box from his bosom.

"Oh?" There was a trace of surprise in Zhang Cheng's eyes, and he quickly took it and opened it.

On the dark red velvet cushion, six transparent glass bottles were placed neatly, each bottle filled with a blue and green liquid.

Just when he was about to pierce the wax seal to see what kind of creature's poison it was, or some kind of magical poison, Oberyn immediately stood up and stopped him: "Stop! If you don't want to kill us all. "

"Why, could it volatilize in the air?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously stopped his hands, raised his head and asked.

"It's not just as simple as volatilization! Sorry, please forgive me for not being able to explain it in too much detail, because it involves a lot of family secrets, you just need to know that its toxicity is very, very strong, even if you smell it, it will cause irreparable damage. serious consequences."

When saying these words, the expression on Red Viper's face was serious and solemn, as if the box contained not poison, but holy oil that needed to be anointed for the knight canonization ceremony.

"Thank you very much, I will use it carefully." Zhang Cheng thanked politely, and then silently watched the unusual gloomy light emanating from the bottle.

He suddenly remembered that the current Dornish people, especially the Martell family, once married the defeated Rhoynar Queen Nymeria, and it is said that they also accepted a group of water wizards.

Perhaps the poison contained in the box is the product of the combination of biological toxins and magic. Otherwise, the toxicity produced by nature alone would theoretically be impossible to threaten dragons, a magical life form with great resistance.

Suppressing the strong thirst for knowledge and curiosity in his heart, Zhang Cheng turned around and winked at Blanco who was guarding the door.

The latter understood, and immediately stroked his chest with one hand and made a gesture of invitation to the shadow at the door.

Soon, the mysterious man who had been waiting for a long time walked slowly into the living room and took off the hood that was used to hide his face.
