Casting spells

"Who am I...what do I desire...what price am I willing to pay..." Daenerys' eyes were blank, and she repeated a few words in a low voice over and over again, as if she was in deep thought.

After all, she is so helpless now, the dragon regarded as a child was taken away by the enemy, and her loyal follower, Jorah Mormont, also died, unable to wield a sword to fight, nor enough prestige to rebuild a world A large army, the only one born is Targaryen, a family background that is still somewhat famous.

All of a sudden, Daenerys suddenly discovered that she was not as powerful as she imagined.

On the contrary, she is so weak, so weak that she can't even guarantee her own safety, so why should she defeat those traitors who overthrew the Targaryen dynasty?

As for Zhang Cheng who raised these questions, he went straight back to the control center of the towering tower, gently stroked the huge horn placed on the display shelf - "Dragon Binder", and said to himself with a sneer: "Come on, Old friend, let me see what else I can do, a mere servant can't beat me..."

Chapter 2 Seventeen Investigation

There is no doubt that Zhang Cheng has never been a person who likes to sit still, especially after learning that the enemy is ready to launch a war, he quickly took out all his wealth and ordered Blanco to start recruiting and training soldiers to the maximum. Armor and weapons, while hiring reputable mercenaries to ensure there is enough cannon fodder to expend.

In addition, he also put down irrelevant trifles and concentrated all his energy on studying the full functions of the towering tower.

This mysterious building, which is unknown when it was completed, is far more mysterious and complicated than many people imagined, especially the huge crystal on the top of the tower that was originally covered by the fire, not only an energy collection and control device, but also a Still a powerful weapon.

With the help of the huge energy stored at the bottom of the tower for thousands of years, it can create a terrifying death storm, or set off a huge wave of hundreds of meters.

Of course, storms and waves are obviously not enough to deal with giant dragons that can soar in the sky.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng plans to use the limited time to make some small improvements, such as further increasing the destructive power, turning huge waves into ice, and turning storms into blizzards...

As he hides in the tower to prepare for the coming war, the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms are worried about the growing army gathered near Oldtown.

Some of them speculated that this was to conquer the Iron Islands, but more people thought it was a sign of their desire to seize the Iron Throne.

No matter what, as the actual controller of King's Landing City, Tywin Lannister had to prepare for the worst.

Although today was the wedding of King Joffrey and Queen Margaery, he still left countless guests behind and quietly came to the tent less than 50 meters away from the banquet site.

The man in black who had been waiting for a long time did not speak, but instead handed over a curly note.

Old Tywin took it over, opened it and glanced at it, his face quickly became serious, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure the news above is correct?"

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke, I have repeatedly confirmed that there will be no mistakes. You'd better be mentally prepared, the terrible enemy is coming soon." The man in black nodded without thinking.

Since he was wearing a hood and a gray cloak, his face and figure could not be seen clearly at all.

"So, Mason's crazy expansion of the army is not aimed at the Iron Throne?" Tywin clutched the note tightly, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

"Sorry, my lord, I don't know what his purpose is, what he desires. Oh, yes, I just found out that his name is not Mason at all. The real Mason Asprin has been dead for a long time. He is I got this name and identity from Lord Baelish." The man in black quickly added.

"Fake identity? Have you figured out who he is?" Tai Wen frowned subconsciously.

"Unfortunately, I only found out that he first appeared near the King's Road and was rescued by an agricultural product merchant who called himself Billy. Everything before that is a mystery. Maybe you should ask Lord Baelish, he Maybe I can give you a satisfactory answer." After finishing speaking, the man in black raised his head slightly, showing the corners of his mouth upturned.

Tywin didn't notice the playfulness revealed in the other party's tone. He stroked the beard on his chin and asked in a deep voice: "Where is this businessman? Where is he? I need to see him right away!"

"As far as I know, poor Billy has been missing for a long time. If there is no accident, it is probably silenced. After all, if it were me, I would also eliminate this potential threat instead of leaving it to the enemy As a handle..." The man in black replied meaningfully.

"Very good! Continue to pay close attention to the movement in Old Town! No matter what Mason does, I will get the news as soon as possible."

Tywin took a deep breath, and returned to his usual serious face, just when he was about to turn around and leave the tent, there was a piercing scream outside.

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

"It's not good! Your Majesty the King... His Majesty the King is poisoned!"

"Bachelor! Grand Bachelor!"

……

All of a sudden, the wedding banquet, which was originally full of laughter and laughter, suddenly became a mess.

"Damn it!" Seeing that the situation was a little out of his control, Tai Wen couldn't help cursing in a low voice, and walked quickly towards the place where the crowd was most concentrated.

He didn't notice at all that the man in black took off his hood not long after he walked out, revealing a round, fat, bald head.

Obviously, he was none other than Varys, the "Octospider" who had disappeared from everyone's sight for a long time.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that he, who was supposed to go to the mainland of Essos by boat, would secretly sneak back to King's Landing, and even reached a cooperative relationship with Tywin Lannister to secretly collect all information about Zhang Cheng.

And what "Littlefinger" Baelish got was only outdated information that he left on purpose to divert attention.

Watching the noisy and flustered crowd not far away, Varys narrowed his eyes and said to himself: "You really can't help but do it, dear old friend, next I should also send Duke Tywin away from Game of Thrones, To make things a little more complicated. As you once said, chaos is a ladder, and only the ladder is real, and climbing is all there is to it. But don't forget, there is another saying that the more you climb, the more you climb. The harder the fall, sometimes it’s safer to be the one holding the ladder.”

At the same time, Sansa Stark, who was hiding among the crowd, was happily admiring the painful last breath of the enemy.

Even though she didn't know who poisoned her, let alone being used unknowingly, it didn't prevent her from having a sense of revenge that couldn't be expressed in words.

Fortunately, Sansa has not forgotten her escape plan, she stopped for a while, and then quickly took the cloak from a pre-arranged insider while everyone's eyes were firmly attracted by Joffrey's corpse Block the beautiful long skirt, and then follow the narrow path to the port. After about 40 minutes, I finally boarded an inconspicuous boat.

Before she could sit down to catch her breath, Petyr Baelish rushed into the cabin and hugged her.

Feeling the other party's beating heart and heavy breathing, the girl immediately realized that the rumors were probably true.This old man, who was about the same age as his father, transferred his crazy obsession with his mother to himself.

Although she was extremely disgusted with this sickly and deformed emotion in her heart, she still forced herself to endure it, pretending to be weak and helpless, and asked, "Lord Baelish, you will take me home, right?"

"Of course, Sansa, I swear you won't be wronged or insulted again from now on." Littlefinger sniffed the girl's hair, and gave a resolute guarantee.

Chapter 2 Secret Visit

If Joffrey's death from poisoning caused another wave of waves in Westeros, which had finally regained its calm, then Tywin Lannister was shot and killed in the toilet by the "little devil" like a roaring flood. It completely broke the fragile balance among the great nobles.

Although on the surface, the Lannister family and the Tyrell family still continue to choose to maintain their alliance and marriage, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that after losing the restraint of her father, Cersei's conceited, short-sighted, and vengeful character will sooner or later be with the wily The Queen of Thorns turned her face.

At that time, not to mention the smooth rule of the Seven Kingdoms, I am afraid that there will be a good show of fighting for power and profit in King's Landing...

Of course, these have nothing to do with Zhang Cheng for the time being.To be exact, he had expected such a result a long time ago, so he was not surprised at all when he got the news. He glanced at it, threw it into the brazier and burned it, and continued his renovation project on the towering tower.

But he doesn't care, it doesn't mean that others don't care, especially Olenna Redwyne, who feels Cersei's increasingly unfriendly attitude, while the other party is immersed in the double pain of losing her son and father, He took his most beloved granddaughter and left King's Landing by boat overnight, and set foot on the wharf of the old town in just a few days.

Looking at the busy crowd and the thriving market, Margaery asked in amazement: "Isn't this place just recently plundered by the Ironmen? Why can't there be any trace of damage?"

"Haha! You are from other places, beautiful lady." A coolie in a shabby blouse wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and revealed a face full of exhaustion and joy.

"Yes! Can you tell me what happened here?" Margaery Tyrell looked like a curious baby.

Coupled with her beautiful appearance and approachable temperament, very few people would dislike her, let alone refuse her small requests.

"It's all thanks to Lord Mason! Not only did he destroy those damn robbers, but he also ordered a large amount of tax relief to compensate the losses of the merchants. Now, almost all merchants know that the tax here is higher than that of any other country in Westeros. The ports are all low, so they have worked hard to buy or sell their goods, and there is a busy scene in front of them. In addition, the giant dragon constantly circling in the sky also greatly frightened the people in the nearby waters. Pirates, merchants will feel very safe under its protection."

The 30-year-old coolie was completely attracted by the beauty of the girl, and said everything he knew without thinking.

From the almost adoring tone, Margaery quickly analyzed two conclusions.

First, the Hightower family has been completely ruined, and the actual controller of Old Town is not Moroya, but that young man with a mysterious background.
