"Sir Mason, what are you muttering, knowing that I am already a king, and capable of keeping my promises, should you also fulfill your promises?" urged Joffrey with an impatient expression.

He has always been impatient, and if something doesn't go his way, he will explode into a fierce rage, and he is eager to find a scapegoat to vent, and his ability to endure it 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 are both fearful and curious about what they don't know.

Although Zhang Cheng has not studied psychology, it does not take much effort to see through a teenager who is in the midst of adolescence and restlessness.

I saw that he didn't panic and let the butler leave with the servants, and then he responded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I suggest that you better let the guards leave first, and then we will talk about the specific conditions." ”

Joffrey understood what was going on, and turned to the "hounds" and shouted, "Sandor! you take everyone outside and wait, I wish to be alone with Sir Mason for a while." ”

The latter glared at Zhang Cheng with a warning gaze, and without saying a word, he led four guards to stand in the open space outside the two gates, one of which always grasped the hilt of the sword, and if something unexpected happened, he could immediately react in time.

I have to say that "Hound Dog" is indeed a fairly qualified bodyguard, except for the fear of flames because of the shadow of childhood, there are basically no too obvious flaws.

In particular, good obedience is far a hundred times stronger than those knights who have been anointed with holy oil, if it weren't for the fact that they have never followed the right people......

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

However, he had no intention of doing anything for the time being, and took out a note from his bosom and handed it to Joffrey: "Please see, these are the things I want, and if you can get them into my hands within three days, then I can begin to teach you magical magic." ”

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

"Hehe, that's right. Don't you realize that war has been going on since the moment King Robert died. King's Landing will face Stark in the North, Blue Rite in Storm's End, Stannis in Dragonstone, and even their supporters, but what about you, Your Majesty, in addition to the thousands of low-fighting city defenders, I'm afraid you only have the support of the Lannisters, right?" Zhang Cheng smiled and said the almost cruel reality.

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

He may have a fatal character flaw, but he was not stupid at all, and quickly realized how crumbling the Iron Throne beneath his ass was, and asked through gritted teeth, "Which side are you going to be on?

"Hahahaha! Do you need to ask? Of course I'm on your side. Zhang Cheng laughed and gave the answer.

But he still hasn't said the second half of the sentence in his heart, this time he will only stand in line for a few months, and when he gets what he wants, he will choose the side again.

After all, in the game of power, it is the practice of smart people to change their position at any time according to the situation, and those elm heads who cling to loyalty and honor usually do not end very well, among which Ed is a living negative teaching material.

"Oh, really!" Joffrey's eyes showed undisguised surprise as he kept walking around, as if considering something.

After about three or five minutes, he suddenly stopped, and proposed, in a very earnest tone, "Sir Mason, it is better to give you a sum of money, and a title and a position, and you will come and recruit for me an army, an army that obeys only my orders." In return, when all the traitors have been eradicated, I will strip you of their lands. ”

For this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, Zhang Cheng didn't think about it, and directly touched his chest with one hand and bowed: "What else can I say except thanks and obedience......?"

Obviously, this bear child only thought about how to strengthen his strength in the shortest possible time, and thus ignored the issue of control of the army.

Spend someone else's money, build your own army, and finally get a large territory, is there a cheaper good thing in the world?

As for the brain-disabled child Joffrey, who has a brutal personality and kills people for fun at every turn, it has nothing to do with him.

Anyway, when the Battle of Blackwater is over, there will naturally be the "Queen of Thorns" Olenna Redwin to clean up the mess.

"Brilliant! Sir Mason! I knew that a smart man like you would make the right choice. Joffrey was completely unaware of the huge mistake he had made, and his face was full of excitement and joy.

"Your Majesty, I think you can't wait to start learning about magic by now, don't you?" Zhang Cheng raised his hand and snapped his fingers as the corners of his mouth crossed his mouth.

Moment!

A cloud of crimson flames burst out of his fingertips, illuminating the slightly darkened antechamber.

"This!!'!!!!" Joffrey's eyes widened as he stared at the flames the size of a baby's fist.

Zhang Cheng unhurriedly turned the flames into various shapes, pretending to be mysterious: "That's right, this is magic. It allows humans to wield powers comparable to those of gods in the form of mortals. Fire, frost, thunder, all the most destructive things in nature, magic can be created. But it is so difficult to acquire this power, so difficult that not one out of 10,000 people will succeed. ”

"What about me?, can I make it?!" asked Joffrey, impatiently.

"I'm sorry, I can't give an answer yet, and it will take a while of observation and learning to come to a conclusion. Before I do that, I'd like you to take me to meet Master Varys, who has a minor misunderstanding with me that needs to be resolved. ”

Speaking the last few words, Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with a chilling cold light.

Joffrey, who had had a similar experience, shuddered in a single game, and secretly mourned for Varys for a second, and then responded: "First of all, I don't mind if you trouble Varys, but don't kill him, my mother relies on the information he provides." ”

"Hmph, don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm not going to kill him, I'm just going to teach him a little lesson. Let's go, it's getting late, and I want to get back before dark. ”

"Aha! as long as you don't kill him, it's fine!"

......
