Casting spells

He could feel that the other party's appearance here was not just to congratulate him, but had other intentions.

"Sir, I'm just a humble mercenary, a mercenary who is looked down upon by the nobles, a mercenary who can barely eat by killing desperately with a sharp sword in his hand. Do you think a guy like me will be cultivated by some big men? Spy? Not to mention I'm old enough to be unable to wield a weapon in five or six years. I long to settle down, to have a place to retire to, and if circumstances permit, to marry a wife and have children Yu Daughter, as long as you promise to satisfy these, I am willing to offer my loyalty."

As he spoke, Blanco knelt down on one knee, took out his saber and held it in both hands, and lowered his head in a very serious manner.

Zhang Cheng grabbed the weapon that was stained with blood, put it on the old mercenary's shoulder, and said expressionlessly: "In the name of Mason Asprin, I accept your allegiance. But the ugliness Speaking of which, if I find out that you have committed any act of betrayal, then what happens next will be very terrifying, even far surpassing death itself."

"I swear, I will never betray you." Blanco promised without hesitation.

"Very good!" Zhang Cheng casually inserted the saber into the scabbard at the opponent's waist, and then pointed to the restless horse behind him. "A task for you, to get rid of this horse. Remember, I want to clean it up completely, leaving no trace, understand?"

"As you wish..." The old mercenary quickly realized that this was a small test, so he immediately agreed. .

In the blink of an eye, he dragged the extremely uncooperative horse and disappeared from the tournament scene.

It took about half an hour before he returned to the spot with his whole body wet, and reported in a tired tone: "Sir, I sank your horse and a small boat into the depths of the sea, and it will take a few days at most. The corpse will be eaten clean by fish and shrimp, and it will be impossible for anyone to find the so-called traces."

"Shen Hai? Although it's not the best way, it's still a good deal." Zhang Cheng had a satisfied expression on his face, and then he took out his enchanted long sword and handed it to the other party. "Here, take off your leather gloves, and soon you will see why Gregor Clegane failed."

Blanco wiped the seawater stained on his beard, took the long sword without saying a word, and touched the blade carefully with his fingers.

In an instant!

A strong electric current was transmitted into the body through the skin, his whole body trembled violently, fell heavily to the ground with a plop, and couldn't get up for a long time.

Zhang Cheng bent down to pick up the saber, and joked with a smile: "How, do you feel it? This is power! A power that most people can't understand-magic. I can tell you, including this long sword, and There's that crazy horse, and the armor I'm wearing, and it's nothing ordinary."

After three to five minutes, the terrifying numbness gradually disappeared, and the old mercenary struggled to stand up, with a trace of fear and awe in his eyes.

After calming down for a while, he asked, "You mean, you can create these powerful weapons and armor?"

"Making weapons and armor? No, no, no, I'm not a blacksmith, making weapons and armor is not my field of expertise, well, let's stop here for mutual understanding, we have plenty of time in the future, don't we? Now, deliver a message for me." Zhang Cheng obviously didn't trust the old mercenary very much, so he decisively ended the topic.

As a person who has a deep understanding of the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, he will not believe in such things as oaths of allegiance. There is only one thing that can really drive a person to serve with all his heart-profit.

Before confirming what a person really desires in his heart, he will never give the other party true trust.

"Send the letter? To whom?" Blanco's eyes widened in surprise.

"Give it to Kingslayer Jaime Lannister, and tell him that I will wait for him at the beach outside the city before sunset tonight." Zhang Cheng casually stuffed the signet ring, which symbolizes the status of nobility, into the opponent's palm, and turned towards the residence. go.

Blanco stood alone in a daze for a few seconds, then quickly came back to his senses, and muttered in a low voice: "Send a letter to the Lannister family? Is there something hidden in it?"

With a stomach full of doubts and puzzles, he simply cleaned up his clothes, walked quickly into the arena, and sneaked up on the Kingslayer who was preparing to play when no one was paying attention.

But before he got within twenty steps, James drew out his weapon vigilantly and asked loudly, "Who? Who are you?"

"I am very sorry to disturb you, sir, but my master asked me to bring you a message. Go to the beach outside the city before sunset today. He will wait for you there."

After saying this, the old mercenary placed the ring on the ground, bowed slightly, then slowly backed away, and finally disappeared around the corner of the tent...

Chapter 1 Contact

"Mason Asprin?"

Picking up the signet ring, Jaime recognized the family stamped on it immediately.

Although the Asprin family is just an extremely inconspicuous little nobleman, after Zhang Cheng defeated the "Knight of Hundred Flowers" with a perfect posture, someone has clearly investigated the background behind him.

Just when the "Kingslayer" was hesitating whether to go to the appointment, Queen Cersei suddenly broke in with a frosty face.

When she saw the ring in her brother's hand, she immediately asked, "What is that in your hand?"

"It's nothing, it's just a signet ring. Just now, a guy sent an invitation for his master, saying that he hopes to talk to me by the seaside before sunset." James Lannister shrugged indifferently , followed by throwing the ring to her sister.

"Mason Asprin? This guy actually has the guts to send someone to contact you?" Cersei's unattractive face suddenly became more gloomy.

As a woman with a particularly strong desire for revenge, she will never forget the humiliation she received during the previous argument, and now she wished she could arrest Zhang Cheng and dismember him.

Undoubtedly aware of his sister's strong reaction, James immediately joked with a smile: "Why, did this Mason offend you? It doesn't matter, as long as I win this game, I may face him in the next row, and then I will Teach him a good lesson for you, let him understand the fate of offending our beautiful queen."

"Idiot! Don't you know? He nearly killed Gregor Clegane just now! Gregor Clegane was literally helpless against him! Not only was his entire face destroyed, but even the The thumb of his right hand was also cut off, although the maester said that his life is not in danger, but he will basically be a useless person in the future. Do you think you are stronger than the Magic Mountain?" Cersei scolded angrily.

"What?! How is this possible?" James froze in surprise.

Maybe others don't know the real horror of Gregor Clegane, but as a direct member of the Lannister family, he was fortunate to have seen the appearance of the "Magic Mountain" when it went mad, almost killing people with a single sword. Split alive in half from the middle.

Especially the innate strange power, ordinary people can't bear it at all, and they will be overturned to the ground in an instant.

He really couldn't think of anyone who could make such a terrifying monster helpless.

Cersei took a deep breath and explained, "The fact is there, and believe it or not, it happened. My stupid king husband, even discussing it with his stupid brother, gave this Mason What kind of nickname. Do you know? Right now, half of the nobles in King's Landing City are starting to act, planning to recruit him."

"Hearing you say it, I'm kind of looking forward to this meeting, and to hear how he plans to explain what he's done. Don't forget, dear sister, we're Lannisters with debts to pay. Although Gregor Clegane is a nasty mad dog, but he's one of us anyway." After that, James stood up, put on his helmet, and was about to go outside.

Because the loud trumpet sound echoed over the field again, he needed to face his next opponent.

"Wait! If you really plan to go to the appointment, you'd better bring more guards. I'm not sure if he's coming after us. You should understand that these are extraordinary times, and anything can happen." Cersei said He reminded with a serious face.

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool."

……

In the evening, when the sun was slowly setting along the sea level, a small group of heavily armed soldiers ran out of the city gate and surrounded a secluded beach.

The leader of the team is none other than the famous "Kingslayer" Jaime Lannister.

"Good evening, Sir James, you came a little later than I expected. But it's okay, the sun hasn't completely set yet, is it?" Zhang Cheng sat on the smooth rock, flipping through the books in his hand, while facing Greeted with a smile.

"You've been sitting here waiting for me?" James raised his hand to signal the soldiers to stop their hostility, and stepped forward alone.

Zhang Cheng nodded lightly: "That's right! I've been waiting for you for about two hours."

"What if I don't come?" James tentatively put on a cynical look.

"Hehe, if you don't come, then I will go find someone else. For example, Stark, Baratheon, and Tyrell. Anyway, chaos will befall this land in a short time. With my ability, No matter which side you join, you can achieve your goals." Zhang Cheng closed the book and spread his hands indifferently.

Although his original plan was to use the power of the Lannister family to gain power and status by means of minimally disrupting the original plot, but if the other party couldn't communicate, he didn't mind changing it.

Anyway, judging from the plot, whether it is Stark, Baratheon, or Tyrell, they all have a chance to sit on the Iron Throne.

As for Nellis Targaryen, who was far away on the other side of the sea, it was not within his consideration at all.

The reason is very simple. Strictly speaking, "Dragon Mama" is an idealist through and through. Anyone with a little experience understands that the more idealistic a person is, the more difficult it is to get along with each other.

Zhang Cheng didn't want to stay with a woman who was self-righteous and lacked the experience and skills to rule, otherwise, no matter how pretty she looked, he couldn't help but kill her in a few days.

James frowned subconsciously, and asked in an uncertain tone: "The so-called chaos in your mouth doesn't mean war?"
