The onset of addiction came faster, more violent, and more painful than expected!

No matter how much Zhang Cheng forced himself to forget the extreme pleasure of absorbing pure arcane energy, his body reminded him of that insane feeling over and over again, until he collapsed from exhaustion and fell into some kind of unconscious state.

I don't know how long it was, maybe a few minutes, maybe a few hours, maybe a few days......

When the addiction slowly subsided, he opened his eyes again to find himself lying on a slightly dilapidated carriage, surrounded by agricultural products such as cured meats, flour, eggs, sausages, fruits, wine, and even a few live chickens hanging from the back of the carriage, cooing incessantly.

Due to the relationship between the uneven road and the uneven road, the carriage was very bumpy, and the whole body was in a state of soreness and numbness, which was a bit like motion sickness and a bit like the sequelae of demon addiction.

Zhang Cheng tried to do it, but soon found that his hands and feet were not strong at all, and finally had to lie down honestly, checking his belongings while remembering what had happened before.

After a brief inspection, he found that the owner of the carriage did not seem to have touched anything, whether it was the waist bag containing various potions, or the flint staff that shimmered red, all of them were intact and within reach, not even the contents of the travel bag.

Obviously, he must have met a kind person, otherwise he would be 100% stripped of his clothes, and then he would still be in the wilderness with no village and no store in front of the village.

Just as he was frowning and desperately trying to remember how he got into this carriage, suddenly a slightly fat face appeared in front of him.

"Ah, sir, you are awake at last. How's it going, are you feeling better?" greeted the chubby middle-aged man with a smile.

Without any jerky feeling, Zhang Cheng understood every word the other party said almost instantly.

You don't have to ask to know that, like the last time, parchment instills the language and words of this world directly into the brain.

After being stunned for a moment, he immediately pretended to be uncomfortable and responded, "Uh...... To be honest, it doesn't feel very good. Did you save me? I'm sorry, but I wasn't conscious enough to remember what happened. ”

Of course, it can't be completely pretended, and the dizziness and body aches are absolutely real.

"Hehe, I don't know exactly what happened to you, but I just happened to find you fainting on the side of the road. However, judging by the fact that your belongings have not been looted, it should not have been a robber. Oh yes, I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Billy, I'm a small merchant who sells food and alcohol, and I'm glad you're safe. As he spoke, the fat man stretched out his right hand.

"Thank you!" Zhang Cheng also stretched out his right hand and shook it with the other party, but did not reveal his name.

After all, the more he talked, the more he was exposed, and he didn't want to leak his details before figuring out the situation.

In particular, the main quest given this time is very different from the last trip to Azeroth.

Although the latter also has some interaction with the local population, in principle, it does not intervene in the development of the entire world history and plot, and acquires knowledge and power as a spectator.

But the former requires him to participate in the game of rights as a player, and if he wants to climb to a higher position, then he must interact with the original plot characters, and even change the fate of some of them and change the direction of the plot.

Don't think that you can do whatever you want as long as you know the plot and the personalities of several main characters.

On the contrary, when outsiders begin to get more and more involved in the plot, the original characters will also make various reactions, followed by a series of unpredictable chain reactions, which eventually lead to the plot going berserk.

For Zhang Cheng, one of the biggest difficulties in this mission is to master the scale, not only to get enough rights and status, but also not to destroy the plot too much, otherwise he will lose his greatest advantage.

In addition, he also realized that the reason why he chose the world of A Song of Ice and Fire this time was probably related to being involved in a power struggle between the lords, and the real owner of the parchment wanted to take this opportunity to exercise his wisdom and skill in power and strategy.

After thinking about this, Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness and annoyance of being manipulated, and then he deliberately asked in a casual tone: "By the way, Billy, where are we going?"

"King's Landing, of course, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, don't you know? Just a few days ago, King Robert Baratheon announced that he was going to hold a jousting tournament, so King's Landing would soon become a huge carnival, with the demand for food and drink skyrocketing, and at the craziest of times, it could even be sold for two or three times more than usual. The fat man waved his arms and explained excitedly.

"Oh, the martial arts tournament ......" Zhang Cheng almost didn't make much effort to align the timeline.

There is no doubt that it is Robert, the "Cuckold King", who has just returned from the North and brought back Duke Eddard and his two daughters from House Stark in Winterfell.

It won't be long before the two lose a power struggle to the Lannisters, kicking off the clash of kings.

In a way, this is the last time of peace in Westeros, and it is also the perfect time to intervene as a player in Game of Thrones, where intrigue and war will continue until the onset of winter.

The fat man undoubtedly didn't know what terrifying power the seemingly harmless Zhang Cheng had, and continued to boast to himself: "Yes! Skilled knights, respected nobles, their wives and young daughters, and endless wine and coquettish prostitutes, I promise you will fall in love with them forever. ”

"It sounds interesting, but I want to know, this is still a few days away from King's Landing?" Zhang Cheng asked decisively what he was most concerned about.

"If nothing else, we will be on the banks of the Blackwater River in three days!How about you, do you want to come with us?" the fat man offered to invite.

Although he didn't know the identity of the young man in front of him for the time being, judging from his clothing, temperament and belongings, he could never be a dirty farmer.

Because even if the farmer sold himself, he would not be able to buy the pair of black and shiny leather shoes, which were worth a lot of money at first sight......
