Chapter 148: The Secrets of the Targaryens
After getting clues about the apocalypse in Valyria, Zhang Cheng's gaze stayed on Daenerys's almost body, and it took a full minute before he suddenly reached out and gently touched the other party's forehead.
Moment!
A faint red glow emerged from the touch between the fingers!
Although it wasn't particularly glaring, everyone in the room was taken aback.
"Damn, what did you do to Her Majesty?"
Jorah Mormont was nervous and even drew her sword, her face full of anger and vigilance, as if Zhang Cheng had committed some unforgivable crime.
In contrast, Daenerys was much calmer and asked curiously, "What did you just do to me?"
"Nothing, just a little test to see what your so-called truth is. Zhang Cheng explained, pushing away Jorah Mormont, who was holding a sharp sword, took out a small gray powder from his pocket, and swayed it along a circular trajectory.
In just a few seconds, he drew a circle at the opponent's feet.
Just when everyone didn't know what the meaning of these strange actions was, the gray powder suddenly seemed to be manipulated by some mysterious force to spin, and it turned faster and faster, and the range of rotation became smaller and smaller.
When it was about to touch Daenerys's fair skin, the disappearing red light resurfaced, and even faint cyan lines appeared on the surface of the white skin.
Perhaps most people don't understand what these strange phenomena mean, but Zhang Cheng, who has systematically studied the principles of arcane, understands that those red lights mean fire resistance, and cyan lines mean magic constitution.
In other words, the Targaryen family is no longer a human in the ordinary sense, either magically modified, or mutated in a specific environment, anyway, their descendants have a high chance of obtaining talents that ordinary people do not have.
Among them, the fire resistance reaches a certain level, that is, the legendary fire is not burned, and the magic constitution can be favored by the magic creature dragon.
Of course, the prerequisite for the awakening of these two talents must be that the whole world is filled with enough mystical energy, and if the concentration is low to a certain level, then the baby born will not be able to absorb enough energy, and naturally will not be able to show his talent.
Knowing this, Zhang Cheng took out another glass test tube and said in a slightly negotiating tone: "If you don't mind, can you give me a little of your blood?" Please rest assured, I swear that I will never use it to cast any evil spells or curses, just to conduct a little interesting research. In return, I'll join you when you land in Westeros. ”
"Sir Mason, don't you think you're presumptuous and rude?" Daenerys frowned as she glanced at the finger-thick test tube.
It was the first time she had met a man who could ignore his seductive body curves and beauty, and instead be interested in his own blood.
Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders disapprenosingly: "Rude, no, no, no, I just don't want to waste time on meaningless topics." You must know that there are countless secrets hidden in this world waiting for me to dig out, and countless more knowledge waiting for me to learn, so please don't pay too much attention to these little things. ”
Daenerys stared at the young man who was only a few steps away from her with purple eyes, as if she wanted to see through the other man's heart.
After about two or three minutes, a smile suddenly appeared on her serious face: "Well, I have to admit that you are a weirdo, stranger than anyone I've ever met. But there's no denying that you're also an interesting person, and most importantly, I don't feel even the slightest bit of hostility from you. But since we're meeting for the first time, shouldn't you show a little bit of sincerity? at least answer my previous question, how do you tame a dragon?"
"No problem! The way I tame a dragon is simple, and that is to sign a binding magical contract with the dragon when it is born. With this restraint, I can make the dragon obey orders and even understand the thoughts in my head. Zhang Cheng didn't try to hide anything, and gave the answer bluntly.
Anyway, there is no second person in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire who can use arcane energy except for him, and even if outsiders know about it, there is no way to replicate the whole process.
"So all the rumors out there are true, and you're a powerful and evil wizard?" Daenerys said, a surprised look on her face.
She seemed a little incredulous that someone would reveal her secret so easily.
"Hahahaha, mighty and evil wizard, do those ignorant and foolish fools describe me like that?" Zhang Cheng laughed as he took the steaming breakfast from the maid's hand.
Because of the sea breeze that had been blowing all night, and because he was hungry, he didn't pay attention to the eyes of the people around him, and sat down to eat.
Daenerys took advantage of this to put on a coat to hide her seductive figure, and then sat down on the other side of the table and asked, "You seem to be disdainful of those who judge you?"
"Of course!" Zhang Cheng nodded without hesitation.
"You know? Magic is not an ethereal, uncontrollable force, as many people suspect.
On the contrary, it is as much a technology and science as growing crops, building ships, and smelting metals.
Valyria, the birthplace of House Targaryens, once mastered the art so they could tame dragons, create the hitherto undecipherable Valyrian steel, and even the unique stonemason skills of Dragonstone Castle.
Burning is probably a magical skill that the Valyrians mastered at the time, and through which your ancestors passed on the ability to survive the flames to future generations.
I am a person with a strong desire to learn, and I really want to one day unlock the secrets that have been hidden by history.
For example, why did the Children of the Forest disappear, and what supernatural powers did they have?
Why did Valyria fall into ruin overnight?
Why did the dragon disappear, and why did they die?
Do the terrifying ghosts north of the Great Wall really exist?
For those who truly know, magic is never an ethereal prophecy, let alone a gift from the gods, but a power gained through exploration and learning.
So, please don't confuse me with the trash wizards you met in the Hall of Immortality, who don't even understand why their powers disappeared, why they suddenly appeared, and who are qualified to claim to have mastered the power of magic......
