Casting spells

Second, the residents of Oldtown don't seem to mind having a new ruler at all, even if he doesn't have a legitimate succession.

The most important thing is that Kuro Kerba, who just flew over his head, has grown up a lot compared to the last time he saw it, exuding an incomparable terrifying aura from all over his body.

It is conceivable that once this giant dragon joins the battlefield, it will inevitably destroy the will of ordinary soldiers. No one is willing to face an invincible enemy, even if they spend more money and status, it will not help.

Under the gesture of her grandmother's eyes, Margaery gave the coolie a silver dragon as a reward, and then, under the protection of the family knights, she went straight to the gate of the Tower, which had been restored to its original appearance.

It has to be said that without the cover of white marble, the appearance of this tower is really not very good. Whether it is the black stone that constantly reflects the sunlight or the strange shape, all of them reveal an incompatible and mysterious atmosphere.

Olenna Redwyne raised her head and stared at the huge crystal emitting faint light from the top for a while before handing over the signet ring representing House Tyrell.

The guard who realized the identity of the visitor had no intention of obstructing him. After returning the ring, he immediately gave way to the entrance.

The "Queen of Thorns" gestured to the knight who was escorting her to wait in place, and slowly disappeared at the end of the passage with the help of her granddaughter.

But before she had gone far, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her. With the help of the faint light, she immediately recognized that the figure was none other than Moroya Hightower.

The latter raised his skirt and bowed, and greeted coldly: "Long time no see, dear Mrs. Olenna, I really didn't expect you to come to Old Town at this time."

"It's been a long time. I remember the last time we met, you were still studying the so-called alchemy with Earl Layton. Who would have thought that he was actually killed by the ferocious ironmen." The Queen of Thorns took the initiative to take two steps forward and hugged Look at the other party, and at the same time test the attitude quietly.

Although she still didn't figure out how she could be breached by the Iron Species according to the strong defense ability of the towering tower, with her rich life experience and experience, she could clearly smell the conspiracy in the whole thing.

"Yeah! What happened that day was really terrible. Blood, corpses, and death filled every passage. I can't help but tremble when I think about it now." Moloya couldn't help shivering, revealing in her eyes From the inner fear.

Of course, what she was afraid of was not the Ironborn, but Zhang Cheng who had killed so much in the tunnel that day.

"Holy Mother! May all the souls who died in vain rest in peace. Don't be too sad, after all, the Hightower family will rely on you to support them in the future." Margaery hurriedly comforted her softly.

"Thank you!" Moroya politely pretended not to understand the hint in the words.

With her level of intelligence, how could she not understand that the two were spying on information, but she just refused to reveal half of it.

The reason is very simple, her life is still in Zhang Cheng's hands, and she dare not have any wrong thoughts at all, at least she will guarantee [-]% loyalty until she finds a strong enough backer.

As the saying goes, three women play one drama, especially three female nobles who are plotting against each other.

After Olenna Redwyne hypocritically said a few comforting words, she suddenly changed her tone and asked in a low voice: "Moloya, can you tell me where Earl Mason is right now? I have to talk to him immediately. .”

"Please come with me, the master has been waiting for you for a long time. But I want to remind you, no matter what you see later, you must keep quiet, otherwise..." Mo Luoya deliberately dragged her voice for a long time, without saying anything And metaphor.

"Master?!" The Queen of Thorns keenly grasped a key word, and an unconcealable surprise appeared on her wrinkled face.

Margaret's reaction was similar, and she froze in place. She couldn't believe that Moroya, who was called a "crazy girl", would willingly serve a young man who was much younger than herself.

Chapter 2 Nineteen

Passing through a dark and secluded corridor that constantly flickered with strange lights, the two were taken to a room with strange symbols on the walls, and in the center of the room was a stream of water that was constantly rotating at high speed and emitting harsh roars.

Through careful observation, Olenna Redwyne found that the reason why the water makes an unreasonably loud noise is actually because the water flow is mixed with a lot of crushed ice of different sizes. It cracked, and there was an astonishing sound.

But what shocked her the most was not the noise itself, but the extremely terrifying maelstrom, and the ice cubes that were continuously formed in the center of the vortex.

You must know that the entire Song of Ice and Fire is still in summer, and it is still a rare long summer. The ambient temperature is maintained at a very high level. Melt completely inside.

But the shattered ice in the vortex, although it is constantly breaking and melting, is also produced out of thin air, as if caught in a never-ending endless loop.

Zhang Cheng stood expressionlessly in the center of the vortex, staring intently at a stone pillar engraved with reliefs of various marine life, and would touch one of them with his white shining hand from time to time.

After each touch, the speed of the water flow, or the size and quantity of the broken ice will change more or less.

Noticing the wonderful expressions on the faces of the two guests, Moloya flashed a smug look in her eyes, bent down and bowed and reported in a low voice: "Master, the people from the Tyrell family are here."

"Well, I see, let them wait first." Zhang Cheng replied very coldly.

He didn't even bother to turn around to take a look at the famous "Queen of Thorns", and continued to concentrate on fiddling with the tower's control center, trying to find a way to insert the Dalaran Frost Rune.

After all, strictly speaking, there is not much difference between water and ice magic in essence. The only difficulty is to successfully graft the two completely different magic systems together.

Don't think that this is a very easy task. Even when the archmages of Dalaran first studied the shadow magic of warlocks and the ritual of summoning demons, they were puzzled and could not understand the message sent by the Burning Legion to the orcs. Knowledge, until they seized the living captives and forced out a lot of methods of manipulating fel energy and shadow energy from the other party.

However, the problem Zhang Cheng encountered was that he could no longer find the original builder of the towering tower, and it was even more impossible to force out the knowledge he wanted from someone. He could only find the correct solution through continuous trials.

It has to be said that this is a rather time-consuming and laborious job. So far, he has only managed to create a mixture of ice and water, which is still far from pure frost magic.

Of course, as a mage, especially a mage who has just obtained a meteorite with almost infinite energy, he can directly release the spells he wants to release.

But reason told him that since the enemy dared to start a war, there must be a way to deal with the meteorite.

As a giant dragon who has lived for an unknown number of years, Cronada must understand the advantages and disadvantages of meteorites better than him, so he must prepare another hole card, a hole card that the other party does not know...

As Margaery, who would be the center of attention wherever she went, she obviously couldn't bear such an attitude of ignoring her.

Just when she was about to say something, Olenna Redwyne grabbed her and shook her head slightly, signaling her granddaughter not to act rashly.

Despite her unwillingness, Margaery still chose to trust her grandmother's judgment, tolerated her strong dissatisfaction, shut her mouth and waited patiently.

About half an hour later, Zhang Cheng finally let go of the research with no results for the time being, raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the terrifying vortex suddenly began to slow down. In the blink of an eye, no matter whether it was water flow or crushed ice, they all disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared before.

After finishing all this, he put a hypocritical smile on his expressionless face, stepped up to the "Queen of Thorns", and said meaningfully: "I'm very sorry for neglecting you and Miss Margery for a long time, congratulations by the way You succeeded in eradicating Joffrey, who was not easy to control. I believe Tommen, who is cowardly, will soon become a captive of Miss Margery's sweet trap."

"You think Joffrey's death has something to do with me?" Olenna Redwyne asked without changing her expression.

Having experienced countless conspiracies and tricks, she would not casually admit that she personally planned and participated in the poisoning of the king, even if the king was cruel and had a bad name.

"Isn't it? I really can't think of anyone who would be in the best interest of Joffrey's death except the Tyrells. Oh, I almost forgot that it's not just Joffrey who's dead now, but the mainstay of House Lannister ——Duke Tywin, what you are facing now is no longer an ally who knows patience and reason, but Cersei, who is short-sighted and vindictive. If you guessed correctly, your visit this time is to negotiate terms with me, so that Make sure that when conflicts arise in the future, I will stand by the Tyrell family, right?" Zhang Cheng revealed the purpose of the other party's trip with a half-smile.

Compared with the Lannister family who are good at fighting, the record of the Tyrell family is really not flattering. Although their wealth and army are among the best in the entire Seven Kingdoms, their quantity and equipment are not equal to their combat effectiveness.

Olenna Redwyne undoubtedly knew this very well, and retorted calmly: "No, you are wrong, Mason, and now everyone in King's Landing knows that Tyrion killed the king and his father, I have nothing to do with it. Yes, Lord Tywin's death brought many variables, and Cersei is the most dangerous one. I promise, as long as you agree to side with the Tyrells in any future conflicts, We can help you claim the Iron Throne and be crowned king."

"Hahahaha! The Iron Throne? No, madam, I have no interest in the Iron Throne.

You simply don't understand that power is nothing more than an accessory to power.

When a person has enough power, he can easily obtain the corresponding rights. If a person does not have enough power, even if he holds great power, he will be spied on.

Remember how the Targaryen dynasty ended?

It's not the king's madness, but they lost the dragon that was enough to frighten the nobles!

Look at me now, maybe I'm not a king, but who dares to ignore my existence?

What's more, a very threatening enemy is coming soon. He is stronger and more terrifying than any enemy you have ever seen before. Compared with him, Aegon the Conqueror is like a slightly bigger baby.
