"Arya, what did he say to you?" asked Sansa in a low voice as soon as Zhang Cheng left.

She couldn't believe that the other party actually ignored her beautiful appearance and virtuous temperament, but looked at her sister like a wild boy differently.

He told me that if I got into trouble in the future, I could go to him for help. Arya replied nonchalantly as she fiddled with the roses in her hand.

She had no idea what that promise meant, and she didn't know how long it wouldn't be long before she would use it.

"Trouble?"

Sansa muttered something with her head down, quickly putting it behind her and continuing to watch the rest of the game. Because she didn't understand what trouble she and her sister could encounter with the protection of her father, who was the prime minister.

At the same time, facing the cheers of the audience, Zhang Cheng rode his horse and slowly left the competition venue.

As the winner, he has completed his mission for today, and he only needs to wait for the next round against another winner tomorrow.

But not far from the noisy arena he was when Baelsie suddenly appeared from around the corner, waiting for two sharp eyes and whispered, "Sir Mason, I think we need to talk, just you and me." ”

"Of course!" Zhang Cheng had expected that "Littlefinger" would come to the door after the game, and immediately turned to Blanco and the little maid who were following behind and ordered, "You guys go back first, I have something to discuss with this adult." ”

"No problem, but before that, you'd better tell me what to do with these invitations?" Blanco shook the thick stack of scented notes in his hand, a smile that a man would understand. "You know, there are a lot of young and beautiful ladies, and most of them want to invite you to dinner and do some physical and mental exercise. ”

"Push it off for me, it's not the time to have fun. Zhang Cheng refused without thinking.

Because of his addiction, he had to refrain as much as possible from anything or behavior that would excite his nerves.

Because once the nerves begin to get excited, the brain instantly remembers the thrill of inhaling pure arcane energy, followed by an indescribable desire that swells up in the heart, which then completely transforms into pain.

Although after so many days of "demon receptive" treatment, the interval between the episodes of demon addiction is getting longer and shorter, but he does not dare to be sloppy at all.

Only those who have experienced the onset of demonic addiction will understand how terrible it is, as if it can consume a person's soul.

"Alright, well, what a pity......" Blanco sighed regretfully, turning and leading Dina towards his lodgings.

Seeing the two of them gradually moving away, Zhang Cheng turned around and teased in a half-joking tone: "Say, what do you want to talk about?

"No, my friend, you haven't defeated the Sovereign Slayer and the Demon Mountain yet, isn't it too early to think you'll be able to win the title?" Berissie retorted without showing any weakness.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, he no longer used the pseudonym "Mason", but replaced it with the title "my friend".

"Why, after watching today's game, don't you have a clear understanding of the power I have at my disposal? I can tell you unequivocally, as long as I want, I can kill the Demon Mountain, the Kingkiller, the Hound Dog, the fearless Barristan and so on, you think the most powerful knights, they can't even resist, they can only wait for death to come. Zhang Cheng pretended to be a nobody, showing off.

Littlefinger smiled noncommittally, "Hehe, I'll take your word for granted, but please explain what is the purpose of a person like you coming to King's Landing?

"Unfortunately, no, I came to King's Landing to pursue something else - power!" said Zhang Cheng, taking off the armor he was wearing, raising his right hand and violently releasing a cloud of snow-white frost.

The biting cold made Berishi shiver on the spot, and the incomparable horror in his eyes was revealed, and he finally couldn't help but shout, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is this ...... It's ......"

"That's right, this is the power of magic, isn't it amazing?" Zhang Cheng continued to explain while constantly changing the frost in his palm into various forms: "Maybe you don't know very well, back before the ancestors arrived in Westeros, there lived here a group of dwarf humanoid creatures, the children of the forest. They have dark skin, handsome faces, and most importantly, a supernatural power that is unrivalled in their possession – magic. I came to King's Landing for a simple purpose, to gain a certain amount of power, and then use it to find the magical knowledge left behind by the Children of the Forest. As for who the king is or which family rules Westeros, I have no interest in the slightest. I wonder if this answer will satisfy you?"

"The children of the forest and magic are real?!" Baerichie fell into deep thought.

As the saying goes, a successful lie is often nine parts true and one point false, and only by letting the other party focus on the truth part first, will he ignore the last bit of falsehood mixed in it, so as to achieve the purpose of deception.

There is no doubt that Zhang Cheng is such a master of lying.

He first used a real frost spell to prove the existence of magic to the suspicious "Littlefinger", then brought up the popular Children of the Forest in Westeros, and finally even revealed one of his own schemes.

Taken together, Littlefinger immediately focused all his attention on the mysterious magic, only to lose sight of gaining power.

After a few minutes of silence, Berish finally raised his head and said in an unhurried voice, "I'm glad that you answered my questions seriously, which avoids a lot of possible misunderstandings. As a friend, I hope to continue this friendship, I wonder what you think?"

"My honor!" Zhang Cheng touched his chest with one hand and bowed slightly.

"Hahahaha, can you tell me your real name?" Berissie laughed tentatively.

"The name is just a code name, it's the same name, and I think Mason is a good fit for me. Oh, I almost forgot, you'd better not tell Varys anything about my magical powers, or I'll be angry. ”

After saying this, Zhang Cheng winked playfully, and then led the horse and disappeared into the crowd.

Looking at his back, Berishi immediately commanded his retinue hiding in the corner: "Go, immediately hire someone for me to investigate all the legends and relics related to the Children of the Forest in the Seven Kingdoms." ”

"Yes, sir, leave it to me. ”

"Remember! No one should know about this, especially Varys!"

"Rest assured, I will personally supervise. ”
