Looking at the pure, unadulterated eyes of the Children of the Forest, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head: "I'm sorry, little guy, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request." Because you are so precious, whether it is the knowledge in your mind or the magical abilities you have mastered, it is very valuable for me to study. To put it simply, from now on you are my captive and the object of study and study. ”

"Greed, **, ambition...... Human, I feel the undisguised malice from you. Whatever you want from me, I promise you won't get it. Deadwood raised his head and responded in a tone without a hint of emotion.

It is clear that he does not understand the true meaning of "learning" and "research".

"Haha, don't say so sure, believe me, you don't have any right to refuse in this matter. Okay, that's all for today's conversation, you need to get some sleep now in order to cope with the next experiment full of pain and despair. With that, Zhang Cheng took out a bottle of potion with a flashing purple light from his waist bag, forcibly pinched the other party's mouth and poured it in.

Despite his desperate resistance, the Son of the Forest fell into a trance as the liquid flowed down his throat into his digestive system, and in just a minute or two, he fell into a trance, finally closing his eyes completely and falling to the ground with a slight snoring sound.

Joffrey kicked the little man in the head and asked with interest, "What did you give it a drink?"

"Nothing, an inconspicuous hypnotic drug, anyone who drinks a little can completely forget their troubles and fall into the sweetest sleep. Moreover, in the dream, the user will quickly recover his physical strength and energy, and when he wakes up again, he will even have a feeling of rebirth. Zhang Cheng explained, releasing the dead wood from the shackles of steel.

For he could clearly perceive that for some unknown reason, the ironwork was constantly weakening the magical abilities and vitality of the children of the forest.

It is no wonder that the ancestors were able to fight the children of the forest with their powerful magical powers with their rudimentary weapons and armor, and it turns out that the children of the forest have a fatal weakness, that is, they are afraid of ironwork.

If you are simply restrained by iron shackles, you will lose your ability, but what if you are pierced by a sharp sword?

The answer is obvious, the chances of survival are simply slim.

Coupled with the reproduction of the sons of the forest, it is not like humans who will double their numbers as long as there are no large-scale wars and plagues. The number will double.

In essence, they are closer to intelligent life that evolved from plants such as tree people than animals, so neither the fertility rate nor the growth rate can be compared with humans, and in the end, in this cruel competition, they gradually became the losing side and were forced to withdraw from the stage of history.

It is sometimes difficult for Zhang Cheng to understand why nature has created a race that is so close to harmony and perfection, but it has given them a fatal weakness, but on the contrary, it is that humans, who seem to be mediocre on the surface, can often use all kinds of harsh environments at a very fast speed, even if there is a devastating disaster in the outside world, they can survive and rebuild civilization with the survival ability of "Xiaoqiang".

Just when he felt a little sorry for the children of the forest who were dying, Joffrey, who couldn't bear the loneliness, stroked his beloved ring and couldn't wait to urge: "Mason, it's yours, you can take it back and study it slowly, now it's time to tell me, what can I do next to make the flame I release more powerful?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you must understand that the most important thing in learning magic is to be patient. Given your understanding of fire magic, I think the next step is not to blindly increase your power, but to figure out where your power comes from. Zhang Cheng stood up unhurriedly and replied with a smile.

He knew in his heart that the more magic he taught, the closer the king would be to death.

The reason is simple, the reason why the Tyrells family proposed the marriage was to use the means they were best at to influence, or even control, the young king, so as to expand their power and influence.

According to the original plot, Olenna Redwin only learned that Joffrey was irascible and cruel, so she decisively took the decision to poison and change her marriage partner.

At present, Joffrey is not only still irritable and cruel, but also has mastered the powerful fire magic, which is simply a huge threat to the Queen of Thorns, and she will not be willing to waste Margaery, which she has so hard to train, on such a fellow.

However, Zhang Cheng did not intend to interfere in the secret operations of the Tyrell family, but only planned to use Joffrey to tell everyone that he had enough knowledge and ability to make an otherwise ordinary person extraordinary, and also had enough power to change someone's fate.

When the fragile balance is broken, everything he shows will become rich political capital and become the object of competition from all sides.

"Where does the strength come from?" Joffrey, apparently unaware that he had half a foot in the coffin, frowned and began to ponder.

"Yes! Think about it, why dragons and magic flourished for a while, and then slowly disappeared, until they suddenly sprung up in recent months? Is this just a coincidence?" Zhang Cheng did not give a direct answer, but instead asked a series of rhetorical questions.

"What do you mean...... There's some kind of magical force behind it that dominates all these incredible things?" Joffrey seemed to realize something, his eyes glowing with excitement.

Zhang Cheng nodded slightly: "Yes, do you remember the crimson comet that crossed the sky not long ago?"

According to my research and observations, all the magic in the whole world, as well as the mysterious energy that dragons rely on to survive, all originate from it.

In other words, when a comet passes through the world we live in, it brings a lot of abundant magical energy, so when he appears, it will cause magic and dragons to flourish.

But as time goes by, less and less energy fills the air, and magic slowly fades out of sight and becomes a story that only exists in legends.

Many people believe that the appearance of the dragon is a sign of a resurgence of magic, but in fact, the crimson comet is the root of all magical power.

Your Majesty, you are lucky to have just caught the perfect time to learn magic.

Close your eyes, feel the energy in the air, try to absorb it, control it, and you will understand what the source of your power is.

Once you understand the nature of magic, you'll naturally know how to increase the power of your fire spells......"
