After separating from the spirit space, Charles looked at the scepter crystal attached to his chest, and Charles casually put it aside, then got up and walked outside the tent.
At this time, the sky is dark, and the stars in the sky are hidden by the clouds, so it is not very real, but the blood-red comet is more conspicuous, quietly hanging high in the sky, and the hazy moon is in contrast
The camp was already quiet at this time, but for some reason, it was now noisy, and as far as the eye could see, there seemed to be a lot more soldiers in the nearby camp.
"Eddard-sama visited." Seeing Charles walk out, the attendant explained in a low voice, and Charles took a look, and Stark and several other figures came into view.
Then what greeted him was an unusually polite sentence. "It's an honor to meet you, Sir Cranston."
Looking at the red-bearded nobleman he had never seen before, Charles couldn't help but turn his head to look at Stark.
"These two are the Lord of Riverlands and Riverrun, Edmure of House Tully. Tully and Brinnden. Tully, they're here to ......," said Eddard, hesitating slightly.
"We're here to ask for your help." The man named Brynden took his words, and said in a tone that was both crisp and sincere, "We hope that you will save the old Duke of Horst, who is now suffering from his sickness. β
Redbeard Edmure added, "Of course, we won't let you be busy, we have brought several large boxes of jewelry, and of course, if you are not satisfied, we can exchange them for something else." β
Hearing his nephew's words, Brinnden's eyelids jumped.
It's as if the wizard was a businessman, and if people weren't interested in it, it wouldn't sound very good.
Glancing cautiously at the other party, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no displeasure on Charles's face.
Charles wasn't as angry, but he wasn't interested in it.
If I heard it right, the old duke they were talking about was the same old man Eddard had mentioned to him in King's Landing some time ago.
Charles explicitly rejected him, and Ed didn't mention it. Looking at it now, it is estimated that because his name is much louder than last time, these two Rushing City Lords have rekindled their hope.
Judging by Stark's slightly unnatural expressions, he probably didn't expect such a thing to happen, and judging from the fact that the two of them were going to visit in the middle of the night, they were quite sincere - and brought a few chests of treasure.
But what's the use of him wanting this?
At the beginning, he had not touched the box of golden dragons that he had extorted from the Lannisters' house, but now he had accumulated dust in the corner of the tent, and he didn't know when he would be able to use it.
Charles felt that he couldn't melt it all and use it in the Overworld for money, but considering that he didn't have much money in the Overworld now, it was a waste of time to do this kind of thing.
It's a bit of a waste of time to do it in front of me, and it "disturbs people's dreams" in the middle of the night.
However, looking at Eddard, who looked a little embarrassed on the side, Charles thought about it, but he didn't intend to refuse.
It's not like it's about befriending the two of Riverrun, even though they're the kind of nobles at the top of Westeros. But in fact, he is very different from the situation when he first came into this world, and he doesn't need to take the initiative to make friends with anyone.
He's for spells.
He'd been on the road since the last time King's Landing had sucked souls, surrounded by soldiers, and there weren't many enemies for him to experiment with.
Although all the knowledge was in the mind, the exact effect of the spell was never certain - mainly the mutations shown in the Death Authority.
Unlike its own complete learning, the so-called mutant Charr can't understand without experimentation.
As soon as he left the Overworld and entered here, he was busy mending his mask, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it.
It's time for them to come.
So he asked, "I can't guarantee how it will work, I can only say try it, but there must be a price." β
"Of course, we know beforehand." Hearing him say this, Blackfish Brynden nodded busily, and then he whispered to the attendant behind him, "Go and bring that damn bastard." β
The attendant answered, and after a while, he dragged a middle-aged man with his hands tied and rushed back.
"Rape, murder, burglary...... This man has committed a great sin in Riverrun, and the Lord does not need any mercy for him. Blackfish spoke with a look of disdain.
The prisoner couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "You stupid fish, you didn't say one thing, I also killed the captain of the guard in Riverrun, what's the matter?" Excuse me? β
As he spoke, the prisoner with a blue nose and swollen face was still full of rebelliousness, and he obviously acquiesced to what was being said.
So Charles said no more, and turned to look at Eddard.
"Clear out a tent and put him in with the duke."
"Can I go in?" Redbeard's Edmus asked.
"No, you can't."
So he had to keep his mouth shut.
Although he is the heir to the duke, in the face of this mysterious wizard with "outstanding achievements", Edmure does not dare to take any aristocratic shelf, and you don't see that the queen mother of the Seven Kingdoms under one person like Cersei is played by others.
Besides, there are still people who need to ask for it.
Everything was done as Charles had ordered, and under the command of the highest command, the speed was simply fast, and after five minutes, everything was ready.
Seeing the old duke who was unconscious on a stretcher being carried inside, Charles entered with him.
After glancing around the tent, he began to sit down at his desk and write.
He wasn't going to fiddle with any ritual this time, the effect of blood for blood was to transfer one person's life force to another, and Charles had a simpler one at this time
Life Drain.
This newly promoted spell requires no ritual and can be used with one hand, with the effect that it can absorb the target's life force, and then use it for yourself or on others, at the mercy of the caster.
Like the previous necromancy, it is full of cruelty and weirdness.
But for the kind of person in front of him, he has no pity at all.
"Bitch wizard, I'll castrate you if I have a chance, that's right, and then roast and eat, haha." The prisoner was tightly tied to the ground, and when he saw Charles walk in, he couldn't help but stare at him and laugh and curse, his expression was not careful, but there was always a trace of fear in the depths of his eyes.
For some people, death is not terrible, but what is terrible is that it does not stop after death.
And Charles is probably such an existence that can make people "dead and alive". Although information spread very slowly in the Middle Ages, the northern army had arrived in Riverrun, and it was impossible for him, a person from Riverrun, not to know about it.
Ignoring the shouting of this man, Charles walked up to him after writing the secret text and using it in the palm of his hand, and was about to cast a spell, but suddenly something came to mind, so he casually picked up the rag next to him and stuffed it into the prisoner's mouth.
Then, under the prisoner's forced calm expression, he crouched down, and the palm covered with black secret words covered his long brown hair brain.
The warm palm can be vaguely felt through the hair, although he has encountered any scene, but thinking of the unknown fate he may encounter next, the middle-aged prisoner still whimpered and "shouted", as if he was scolding again.
However, when a low spell appeared from the other party's mouth, the curse quickly subsided, and he began to tremble uncontrollably, and his once unruly eyes were also full of apprehension.
No matter how bold you are, you can't help but feel scared when you encounter this unknown thing.
It wasn't until a moment that his fear suddenly subsided.
The palm touching his head seemed to constantly release bursts of warm breath, like a warm fireplace in the cold winter, making him sleepy and everything in front of him became more and more hazy.
"It doesn't hurt at all, damn it, it scared me."
Thoughts of rejoicing flashed through him, and the prisoner was completely plunged into darkness.
Unfortunately, he was glad that it was a little early.

At the sound of the incantation, a hint of the True Eye drifted past him.
Then, visible to the naked eye, the face of the man who looked just the prime of life quickly dried up, his wrinkled, originally shiny brown hair gradually turned gray, lying on the ground, and his still straight back slowly clumped.
By the time Charles' hands left his head, he had changed from a sturdy middle-aged man to an old man, his goosebump-like eyelids were hard to open, and after glancing at Charles, his cloudy old eyes involuntarily closed slowly, as if he was very tired.
Seeing this, Charles unconsciously looked at his hand.
Visible to the naked eye, a pale green aura lingered throughout his entire hand.
Eyes of Truth hints float by.
