There is no doubt that Zhang Cheng deliberately revealed the news of the Children of the Forest to "Littlefinger", in order to let the other party replace him and collect various ruins scattered in the continent of Westeros.

In this way, he doesn't have to waste too much energy, and waits patiently for his opponent to collect almost everything, and just grab it.

After all, the devil knows where the ruins of the Children of the Forest are hidden, and it will not be easy to find them one by one, but with the help of the snake of the land like Balishi, I believe it will be a lot easier.

In short, as long as he can obtain knowledge and power, Zhang Cheng doesn't care about the means used in the middle, whether it is deception, use, robbery, assassination, as long as he can achieve the goal, he will not hesitate to do it.

Because the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was an amazing secret hidden behind the parchment, and that he had to accumulate enough capital before the real owner of the thing appeared, otherwise he would not even be qualified to negotiate the conditions at that time......

After a long night's rest, the next morning, the contestants gathered again to fight for a high bounty or a great honor.

Among them, "The Kingkiller" James Lannister, "Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane, and "Hound" Sandor Clegane are recognized as the favorites to win the championship this time.

In addition, Gregor Clegane also deliberately "missed" to kill Sir Sir Canyon in yesterday's game, adding a layer of blood to this supposed festive tournament.

Of course, Zhang Cheng, who defeated the "Hundred Flowers Knight" with an absolute advantage, naturally became the focus of the audience's discussion.

Unfortunately, he himself was not at all interested in these frivolous speculations and bets, and hid in the corner, wiping his silver-white sword while patiently waiting for the horn to blow at the beginning of the second round.

If you look closely, you will find that from time to time, a trace of arc of electricity will flash from the sword body that is not easy to detect.

Obviously, this is not an ordinary sword, but an enchanted long sword, and the magic blessed on the sword is nothing else, it is the deadly electric attribute.

But unlike the kind of lightning that destroys everything in a rage, its effect is closer to paralyzing the opponent for a short time, so it is more subtle and more difficult to detect.

When a metal weapon collides with a long sword, the electric current will instantly enter another person's body with the help of the metal's excellent conductivity, and the reaction is different according to each person's physical fitness.

If it is a little lighter, it will feel sore, numb and weak at most, and it will be back to normal in just a second or two.

But if it's more serious, you will fall to the ground and convulsions on the spot, and if you don't do it, you will also stage an ugly state of incontinence.

In fact, the creation of this sword was only a byproduct of a failed experiment, and Zhang Cheng's original idea was to create a weapon that could produce scorching flames in order to deal with the strange spirits that appear later in the story.

But for some reason, the magic runes of Azeroth and the runes deciphered by the magic version of the earth have completely different effects in this world after being transformed.

As a result, what was supposed to be a blazing flame turned into a weapon that was not remarkable in appearance, but it was very suitable for sneak attacks.

Just as Zhang Cheng was silently pondering which unlucky guy would be the first victim of this weapon, Loras walked over from a distance with a black-haired young man and greeted him with a smile: "Good morning, Sir Mason, you look good." ”

"Good morning, Sir Loras, is there anything wrong?" asked Zhang Cheng, raising his head and deliberately feigning surprise.

Although the black-haired young man never introduced himself, he recognized the famous Duke of Storm's End, King Robert's youngest brother, and the secret lover of the "Knight of the Hundred Flowers", Ranley Baratheon.

Loras shook his head slightly: "No, it doesn't matter, just bring a friend to introduce you to you, and by the way, tell you who the opponent of the second round is." ”

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Sir Mason, and my name is Ranley Baratheon. Regarding yesterday's match, you performed impressively, especially with the final sword, which managed to avoid tragedy. I think that's what true chivalry is. As he spoke, Lan Li touched his chest with one hand and bowed slightly.

"You've won the prize, Lord Duke, and I'm just doing what I had to do. Zhang Cheng hurriedly stood up and returned the salute.

"Hah! You're so humble, no wonder Loras keeps telling me you're a knight worth recruiting. How about it, would you be interested in swearing allegiance to me? I can give you a fairly wealthy place as a fiefdom. Lan Li didn't hide his intention at all, and generously handed out an olive branch.

"Sir Mason, believe me, Lord Lanli is definitely worthy of the allegiance of a powerful knight like you. Not only was he a good-natured man, but he was also never stingy with rewards. Loras followed suit.

Watching the performance of this pair of good friends, Zhang Cheng suddenly smiled, shaking his head while laughing: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Duke, I only have one thought in my mind now, and that is to win the championship of the tournament, and I don't think about who to be loyal to before that." ”

Lan Li obviously didn't expect someone to refuse his offer, his eyes revealed a hint of surprise, and then he set his eyes on the "Hundred Flowers Knight", as if asking what to do now?

The latter hesitated for a moment, and then quickly spoke: "Sir Mason, I can understand a knight's desire for honor, but the problem is that your opponent in the second round is not easy to deal with, and if you don't do it, you are in danger of losing your life. ”

"Oh, who is my opponent?" Zhang Cheng asked rhetorically, curling the corners of his mouth.

"Gregor Clegane! You heard that, he deliberately killed his opponent yesterday. Loras gave the name without thinking.

"So what?" Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

Seeing that it was useless to spend a long time talking, Loras had no choice but to explain clearly: "Demon Mountain is a fierce and brutal fellow, and I think it is very likely that he will kill you as well." But if you swear allegiance to Lord Lan Li now, he will have some scruples when he strikes. ”

"Hehe, thank you two for your kindness, but I have my own pride and persistence. No matter how good Gregor Cregan is, he is destined to fall at my feet today, and no one can change that. Alright, I'm ready to enter, so go back to the stands and watch the next game. ”

After saying this, Zhang Cheng didn't pay attention to anyone, turned over directly on his horse, took the spear from Blanco's hand, and slowly walked towards the competition venue in the face of the cheers of the audience.

Looking at his back, Lan Li asked without replying, "What do you think we should do now?"

"What else can we do, go back to the stands and wait for the result, we can only hope now that Sir Mason will come off the field alive. Loras sighed helplessly......
