Chapter 219: Snubbing
Walking through a dark, secluded corridor with an eerie glow, the two were taken to a room with strange symbols on the walls, and in the center of the room was a stream of water that swirled at high speed and roared.
On closer inspection, Olenna Redwing discovered that the reason why the water makes an unreasonably loud noise is actually because the water is mixed with a large amount of crushed ice of various sizes, and it is precisely because of these crushed ice that collides, squeezes, and shatters, resulting in an alarming sound.
But what shocked her the most was not the noise itself, but the terrifying maelstrom and the endless ice cubes that were in the center of the whirlpool.
You must know that the whole Song of Ice and Fire is still in summer, and it is still a rare long summer, and the ambient temperature is maintained at a fairly high level, let alone freezing, even a large piece of ice will completely melt in a very short time.
But the broken ice in the whirlpool, although it is also constantly breaking and melting, is also generated out of thin air, as if it is trapped in a never-ending endless cycle.
Zhang Cheng himself stood expressionlessly in the center of the whirlpool, staring intently at a stone pillar carved with reliefs of various sea creatures, and from time to time touching one of them with his white glowing hand.
After each touch, the speed at which the water rotates, or the size and amount of broken ice, changes to a greater or lesser extent.
Noticing the wonderful expressions on the faces of the two guests, a hint of smugness flashed in Moroya's eyes, and she bent down and bowed and reported in a low voice, "Master, someone from the Tyrell family has brought it." ”
"Well, got it, let them wait. Zhang Cheng replied very coldly.
He didn't even bother to turn around to look at the famous "Queen of Thorns", and continued to concentrate on fiddling with the towering tower's control center, trying to find a way to insert the Dalaran Frost Rune.
After all, in the strict sense of the word, there is not much difference between water and ice magic, and the only difficulty is to successfully graft two very different magic systems together.
Don't think this is a very easy thing to do, even when Dalaran's ** masters first studied the shadow magic of warlocks and the ritual of summoning demons, they were puzzled, and they couldn't understand the knowledge transmitted by the Burning Legion to the orcs at all, until they grabbed the living captives and forced a large number of manipulation methods with evil energy and shadow energy from the other party's mouth.
However, the problem Zhang Cheng encountered was that he could no longer find the original builder of the Tower, and it was impossible to force the knowledge he wanted from anyone's mouth, so he could only find the right solution through continuous attempts.
It has to be said that this is quite a time-consuming and laborious job, and so far he has only managed to make ice-water mixtures, which is far from pure ice magic.
Of course, as a mage, especially a mage who has just obtained a meteorite of near-infinite energy, he can directly unleash the spell he wants to unleash.
But reason told him that since the enemy dared to start a war, there must be a way to deal with meteorites.
As a dragon who has lived for an unknown number of years, Klonada must know more about the advantages and disadvantages of meteorites than he does, so he must prepare another hole card, a hole card that the other party does not know......
As Margaery, who would be the center of attention wherever she went, she obviously couldn't bear such an attitude of almost disregard.
Just as she was about to say something, Olenna Redwin grabbed her and shook her head slightly, signaling her granddaughter not to act rashly.
Despite her reluctance, Margaery chose to trust her grandmother's judgment, and she closed her mouth and waited patiently.
After about half an hour, Zhang Cheng finally put down the research that could not get results for the time being, raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
Syllable!
With a crisp sound, the terrifying vortex suddenly began to slow down, and in the blink of an eye, whether it was the flow of water or the broken ice, it all disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
After doing all this, he put a false smile on his expressionless face, stepped in front of the "Queen of Thorns", and said meaningfully: "I'm very sorry for snubbing you and Miss Margaery for a long time, and by the way, congratulations on successfully eradicating Joffrey, who is not easy to control." It is believed that Tomman, who has a cowardly personality, will soon become a captive of Miss Margaery's sweet trap. ”
"Do you think Joffrey's death has anything to do with me?" asked Olenna Redwin, with a blank face.
Having been trained in countless intrigues, she would not casually admit that she personally planned and participated in the poisoning of the king, even if the king was both brutal and unjustifiable.
"Isn't it? I can't think of anyone other than the Tyrells who would have the best interests of Joffrey's death. Oh, and almost forgot, it's not just Joffrey who is dead, but also the Lannisters, the Lannisters, Lord Tywin, and you're no longer dealing with a tolerant and sensible ally, but a short-sighted and vengeful Cersei. If I'm not mistaken, you're here to negotiate terms with me to ensure that I'll be on the side of the Tyrells in the event of a conflict in the future, right?" Zhang Cheng said with a smile that the purpose of the other party's trip was broken.
Compared to the Lannisters, who are good at fighting, the Tyrells' achievements are really not flattering, although their wealth and army are among the best in the entire Seven Kingdoms, but their numbers and equipment are not equal to combat effectiveness.
Olenna Redwin was undoubtedly well aware of this, and retorted quietly, "No, you are wrong, Mason, and now the whole of King's Landing knows that it was Tyrion who killed the king and his own father, and I have nothing to do with it. Yes, the death of Duke Tywin brings many variables, of which Cersei is the most dangerous. I promise that as long as you promise to side with House Tyrells in future conflicts, we can help you claim the Iron Throne and be crowned king. ”
"Hahahaha! Iron Throne? No, ma'am, I have no interest in the Iron Throne.
You simply do not understand that rights are nothing more than appendages of power.
When a person has enough power, it is natural that he can easily get the corresponding power, and if a person does not have enough power, even if he has a huge power, he will be spied on.
Remember how the Targaryen dynasty came to an end?
Not the madness of the king, but the loss of a dragon that was enough to shock the nobles!
Look at me now, maybe I'm not a king, but who would dare to ignore my existence?
Moreover, a formidable enemy is soon approaching, more powerful and terrifying than any you have ever seen before, and Aegon the Conqueror is like a slightly larger baby compared to him.
I'm preparing for war right now, and I don't have the time and experience to take care of the trivial power struggles in King's Landing......"
Zhang Cheng had no intention of concealing it, and there was no need to conceal it, because when Eric landed on the Westeros continent, an earth-shattering battle would inevitably break out, and anyone who was not blind would be able to see it.
