Old Town School City.

In a dimly lit room lit with candles, a young attendant in a gray robe stood beside him, whispering to an old man sitting in a chair with a gray beard and a heavy collar around his neck:

"The Duke of Stannis on Dragonstone is still unknown, we tried to contact Master Clisson, but he is vague, it is said that there is a red-robed woman on that island, who may be more sensitive to this kind of thing."

"Prince Doran of Dorne is already on the sidelines due to the turmoil in King's Landing, and now it is impossible to do anything, and the Martell family has begun to recruit folk wizards and seems to be interested in it."

"Lan Li. Baratheon was basically the same, he had just set off from Storm's End, and he was going to rush to King's Landing while receiving soldiers from various territories in the Stormlands to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but when such a thing happened, he was not in a hurry to leave. ”

"The city of Castle Rock is in a hot fight with the north, and it will be difficult for the ravens to get past the archers' blockade for a while, but sooner or later they will get the news, and according to Dr. Zabarro's estimate, the war will stop."

“……”

As he spoke, the young squire couldn't help but wonder, "The wizard is so powerful?" In the past, it was not without wizards participating in the political turmoil of the Seven Kingdoms, but there was never such a big repercussion as this time. ”

"That's different," shook his head, and the old man whispered, "If those wizards could threaten or even sway a king, they should have attracted attention a long time ago, but they couldn't. ”

"But that's an exaggeration, isn't it?" The attendants in charge of receiving first-hand information from the Seven Nations were still quite puzzled by this.

According to the many news received by the school, basically all the forces in Westeros have been affected to a certain extent because of the dark wizard who suddenly appeared, and the light ones have begun to pay attention to this kind of incident, and the heavy ones have already put everyone in danger.

I haven't been to the scene to see it.,After all, it's just hearsay.,At the same time,Due to the past teachings of the school city.,He also doesn't look down on magic.。

However, this kind of ghostly trick that is not eye-catching caused the whole Westeros to shake......

"Not only that, as the guardian of the North, Eddard. Stark is the true leader of the Stark lords, and he is more cautious than his son. ”

Nodding his head as if he didn't understand, the squire still didn't understand the close connection between acting cautiously and the current end of the war, but he didn't dwell on it, but continued to report.

"Dr. Malwyn has set off for the North after hearing the news."

The attendant said, expecting the old man to be angry because of this, but who knew that he only sighed.

"Well, Malvin is the only one of us who has studied this, and it would be good for us to let him find out what the dark wizard was all about, and what his purpose was."

“……”

"Anything else?"

"Not for the time being, Lord Steward."

"Stand down."

The attendant retreated, and the old man looked at the silver-plated lampstand in the corner of the room with a complicated face, the cylindrical crystal that stood quietly and shining with a unique brilliance, and muttered to himself blankly: "The glass candle has not been lit, why is there magic in the world?" ”

……

"Our Majesty the King is furious in Maegor Hall, smashing several antique vases from the Aegon era, stabbing to death two young maids who went to serve, and even slapping a scholar."

Somewhere in King's Landing, as in the school city, a tall, lanky man was whispering to a chubby, bald head.

"That old immortal should be beaten, but what is the reason?" Fat bald sissy elongated tone.

"The reason, of course, is the notebook," said the tall and thin man, who was the deputy of the man in front of him, turning a blind eye to it, or rather taking it for granted, "you can guess that our King is very angry that he has lost face, but he is more curious about what is written in that note. ”

"Her Majesty the Queen Mother hid in the Mei Ge Mansion and did not come out, some people said that she was frightened, but I think she may have recalled something bad because of this."

"Bad things?" The bald sissy raised her eyebrows pretending not to understand.

"Maybe about a certain forest witch, you know, my lord, our Queen Mother had a deep impact on her when she was a child."

"That's right, it's a pity that James isn't here, otherwise we would have been able to watch a scene of drawing a sword for love." The bald fat man sighed regretfully, blinked his little eyes, and asked again, "By the way, what about the hounds?" ”

"The hound has absconded since he knocked the king unconscious."

"Hound ...... It's a pity, but he has a deep love for Xiao Qiao. The bald head continued to sigh: "As a result, people don't appreciate it." ”

"His Majesty is indeed inconsiderate, although he is a king, he does not have the slightest power to fight. If something happened to his mother, Lord Tywin wouldn't be polite to him. The deputy chuckled.

"Yes, the Queen Mother has more than one son."

The fat bald head also chuckled, but there was doubt and complexity in the depths of his eyes.

"Wizard ......"

……

"I'm tired of all of you, and when I get to Dragonstone Island, I will not be stingy with money."

Looking at the sailors on deck, Lame Ed looked as serious as usual, but his tone was much more relaxed than that of King's Landing.

After getting on the ship and settling his two daughters, he began to get busy without the slightest rest, inspiring, planning the sailing route, checking the ship for any shadows left by the Lannisters, etc.

Although he was not politically conscious, he was very cautious in his style, and he did not completely relax when he escaped from King's Landing.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's an honor for us to be able to sail with the Duke." The bow of the boat hurriedly replied to Ed's words, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at a young figure not far away, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

With this dark wizard who can turn people into dolls and hold them in their hands, they really don't dare to slack off, for fear that a vicious wizard will inadvertently attract punishment.

Ed sensed their fears, but after all, the group was not his own, so instead of comforting or encouraging, he said a few more words of advice to concentrate on his work, and then limped towards someone at the bow railing.

Coming to him and looking at the young man with a relaxed face, Aide said in a serious tone: "We still can't relax our vigilance, you pinch her life, the Queen Mother's people don't dare to do anything to us, but she has a lot of enemies." ”

"You're one of them." Charles glanced at him and asked half-jokingly.

"I ......" A trace of doubt flashed in Ed's eyes, shook his head, and changed the subject: "Your doll can really kill people?" ”

"I said you can't believe it?" Charles responded, smiling in a way that made it difficult to understand whether he was telling the truth or a lie.

"I may believe it, but I will never risk it." Ed replied with a frown.

"The Lannisters don't dare to take any chances." Charles said, looking back at the sea below the ship.

The spell was called the Curse of Pain, not the Curse of Death, and the effect it could do was only pain, and it was limited by distance and time, not at all.

If the enemy had been tougher, or had been successfully guided by the reckless king, his rescue plan would have died without such a big result.

In other words, everyone was deceived by him.

But he wouldn't tell anyone, including Eddard. It is not uncommon to say that the means are not unusual, and the unknown will bring fear and ...... Awe.

After a long silence, Ed spoke, "Thank you, you saved my life again." ”

"Then how are you going to repay me?" Charles said absentmindedly, watching the rushing water beneath the ship, still thinking about something in his notes.

"What do you want?"

Charles shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "If you want to say that I am not very rare, the title here is of little use to me, you don't look like a rich man, and I already have a box of gold, probably I don't need money, your daughter, one is too ugly, the other is too stupid, I don't even like ......"

Although he never thought of using his daughter as a bargaining chip, Ed still couldn't help but retort for his daughter: "Arya is not very beautiful, but how can Sansa be stupid?" ”

"The pair of fools in my hometown have a name, called two stupid, which means two and stupid, your daughter is three stupid, one more than two, not stupid?"

The Westeros word Sansa doesn't mean three fools, so Ed doesn't understand it. However, he was accustomed to this guy's ridicule, and considering his eldest daughter's performance in King's Landing, Ed couldn't find any rebuttal.

However, Charles's next words made the mature and steady Duke Stark look stunned, and he couldn't slow down for a long time.

"I'm going to help you fight, what do you think?"
