Casting spells

But now, because of his intervention, there has been a serious deviation, and this deviation is exactly what he does not want to see at present...

Chapter 1: The Black Hands Hiding Behind the Scenes (Happy New Year’s Eve to Everyone)

Half an hour later, in the living room in the backyard, Alia, who had just taken a bath, was devouring the steaming barbecue steak and bread, her hands and mouth were covered with soup. His temperament and etiquette are like a hungry beggar.

Obviously, just a few days of wandering life had a huge impact on her body and mind, especially after witnessing the bloody picture of her biological father being beheaded, her whole body exuded hatred.

Zhang Cheng sat on the chair, crossed his hands on his chest, and observed the girl in front of him without saying a word.

He is a little unsure now whether he should send it back to its original destiny, or give it to Lannister directly as a gift, or use its special status to do something.

There is no doubt that Arya Stark is by no means an ordinary person, especially when Robb Stark dies, she is almost as valuable as her sister Sansa, and whoever gets her means With the support and recognition of many nobles in the northern border, he can even use this as an excuse to launch a war and establish himself as the new king of the northern border.

Unfortunately, Zhang Cheng has no interest in this poor, backward, and sparsely populated land.

Most importantly, the North is at the forefront of fighting the White Walkers, and it's not a good place at all.

His target was clear from the start, and that was Tyrell of Highgarden.

On the one hand, because of the plot relationship, this family will anger Cersei at a certain time in the future, and eventually ruin almost all the heirs;

Another aspect is that the River Bend area has always been the most important agricultural production area in Westeros.

Anyone with a little common sense will understand that in the era of cold weapons, developed agriculture means a huge population base, and a huge population base means war potential.

So in theory, whoever occupies the Hewan area will become the most powerful prince.

As for the TV series, Jaime Lannister led the army to break through Highgarden overnight and uproot the Tyrell family. It is almost impossible to happen, unless an important character suddenly turns against him at a critical moment.

Just when Zhang Cheng was hesitating about how to deal with Alia, the housekeeper Derry suddenly rushed in and reported in a low voice: "Sir, I think you'd better hide this lady right now, the king is here .”

"The king? You mean Joffrey? He's really impatient..." Zhang Cheng raised his mouth with a playful expression.

Obviously, the newly enthroned His Majesty the King came [-]% to learn the so-called "magic".

Little did he realize that he had unknowingly become a fish taking the bait.

"Yes! I blocked them in the front yard, you'd better move quickly." Derry nodded vigorously and urged.

It can be seen that he must be very nervous at the moment, for fear that something will break in and find this wanted girl.

Zhang Cheng raised his arm and made a gesture of calmness, and then smiled at Alia: "I'm sorry, Miss Stark, I'm afraid you have to avoid it, we will discuss about your stay later. question."

"Wait! Can you kill Joffrey for me?" Arya suddenly raised her head, with undisguised hatred in her eyes.

"No, I can't. I only promised to help you, but it doesn't mean that I will take a huge risk to kill for you. In addition, please believe me, it is better to do things like revenge yourself." After finishing, Zhang Cheng ignored the girl, stood up and walked towards the front yard with the housekeeper.

As soon as he passed through the porch, the first thing he noticed was not Joffrey with the crown on his head, but Sandor Clegane in armor and armor.

No way, who made the burns on "Hound Dog"'s face so obvious, it's hard not to notice it.

"Ah! Dear Sir Mason, you finally came out. Why, didn't you go to see Eddard Stark's execution today?" Joffrey boasted triumphantly.

"Hehe, on the contrary, not only did I go, but I also saw with my own eyes that you ordered Duke Stark to be executed. But I am a little curious, what made you break the promise you made before? After all, let him wear black to guard The Great Wall can undoubtedly prevent the outbreak of war." Zhang Cheng rubbed his chin and asked curiously.

Joffrey didn't realize the deep meaning behind this sentence at all, and replied proudly: "It's very simple! I hate the people of the Stark family! I hate people who question the legitimacy of my throne! If a traitor like this Without severe punishment, who will respect the king in the future? Obey the king's order?"

"Oh? Did you come up with all these yourself? Or did that loyal minister give you advice?" Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and continued to probe.

"It's Lord Petyr Baelish. He thinks I should do something to show the majesty of the new king and deter those bastards who are about to move."

Joffrey, who was seriously lacking in vigilance, revealed the important role played by "Littlefinger" in a few sentences.

It has to be said that, as a schemer and careerist, Petyr Baelish is really good at taking advantage of everyone's personality flaws.

Whether Eddard Stark, Cersei, or Joffrey, they all inadvertently become pawns controlled by him, and sometimes just a few words can stir up suspicion among people , and then let suspicion evolve into hatred, chaos and war little by little.

After confirming the real culprit who killed Ed Stark, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but sighed with a smile: "Well, it seems that Lord Baelish is indeed a loyal subject. The last question, why did you kill Ed Stark? Me? Could it be Lord Baelish's advice as well?"

Joffrey shook his head: "No, it's not him, it's Varys. He hinted to me that in order to win the tournament, you secretly used disgraceful means, and the Mountain was injured so badly by you, I I can't help but want to teach you a lesson. Don't you still remember this matter?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood, my lord. I just want to clarify one thing." Zhang Cheng explained with a smile on his face, with a chill in his eyes.

He really didn't expect that the "dead eunuch" discovered that he was using magic power so early, and at the same time quietly played a borrowed knife to kill people.

If Joffrey hadn't been attracted by the magic of magic and finally chose to reconcile, then he would definitely be hated by this deformed product of inbreeding, and then keep making trouble for himself.

Once he couldn't help but kill Joffrey, he would immediately become the sworn enemy of the Lannister family.

"Varys, the eight-clawed spider, really deserves to be a conspiracy master as famous as Littlefinger. He gave me a big gift before we met. But don't worry, I will let you know soon, provoking a mage for no reason What a dangerous act." Zhang Cheng sneered and muttered to himself in a voice that he could only hear.

Chapter 121 Use

"Sir Mason! What are you muttering about? You know that I am already the king and have the ability to fulfill my promise. Shouldn't you also fulfill my promise?" Joffrey urged impatiently.

With a bad temper, he has always been impatient, and when something goes wrong, he will burst into fierce anger. He is eager to find a scapegoat to vent. His ability to endure until now is enough to prove that in his mind, he is quite in awe of the incredible power of magic.

In fact, most people almost always express fear and curiosity about things they don't understand.

Although Zhang Cheng has never studied psychology, it doesn't take much effort to see through a young man who is restless in adolescence.

Seeing that he winked unhurriedly and asked the steward to leave with the servants, he responded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I suggest that you let the guards leave first, and then we can talk about the specific conditions. "

Joffrey understood something in an instant, turned around and shouted at "The Hound": "Sandor! Take everyone outside and wait outside. I hope to stay alone with Sir Mason for a while."

The latter glared at Zhang Cheng with warning eyes, and without saying a word, he took four guards and stood in the open space two doors away. One of them was always holding on to the hilt of his sword. If something unexpected happened, he would Immediately respond in a timely manner.

I have to say that "The Hound" is indeed a fairly qualified bodyguard, except for being afraid of flames due to childhood shadows, there are basically no obvious flaws.

Especially good obedience, far better than those knights who have been anointed with holy oil, if it is not for always not following the right person...

Forget it, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Sandor Clegane's unlucky life experience.

However, he didn't plan to do anything for the time being, so he took out a note he had prepared and handed it to Joffrey: "Please take a look, this is what I want, if you can do it in three days Hand them over to me within a short time, then I can start teaching you to learn magical magic."

"Two battleships and supporting sailors, one hundred cans of wildfire, six hundred sets of armor and weapons, three hundred longbows, fifty thousand arrows..." Joffrey subconsciously frowned as he read the list on the note frown. "Sir Mason, who are you going to fight?"

"Hehe, that's right. Don't you realize it? From the moment King Robert died, war has come. King's Landing will face the Starks in the North, Renly of Storm's End, Stannis of Dragonstone Island, and even their supporters, and you? Your Majesty the King! Apart from thousands of city defense troops with low combat effectiveness, you probably only have the support of the Lannister family, right?" Zhang Cheng smiled. It's an almost cruel reality.

After hearing these words, Joffrey's face instantly became extremely gloomy.

Perhaps he has a fatal character flaw, but he is not stupid at all. He quickly realized how precarious the Iron Throne is under his ass, and asked through gritted teeth, "Which side are you going to stand on? Me? Or those shameless traitors?"

"Hahahaha! Do you still need to ask? Of course I am on your side." Zhang Cheng gave the answer with a big smile.

But he still has the second half of the sentence in his heart, this time the team will only last for a few short months, and after he gets what he wants, he will choose the team again.

After all, in the Game of Thrones, it is wise to change your position according to the situation at any time. Those elm heads clinging to loyalty and honor usually do not end well. Among them, Ed is a living negative example.
