The fiery sun hung high in the south on the bustling dock south of King's Landing, and Du Yu sat on the other side of the water, not feeling hot at all, and after he hurriedly coped with little Arya's teaching, he came here alone, seeking a moment of peace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He had been studying magic with Soros for four days in a row, but in fact, there were so many spells over and over again, most of them prayers, and then relied on the Lord of Light to respond. This made Du Yu deeply skeptical of the practicality of these things, and he practiced the simplest of them under Soros's teaching, but found nothing, not even to make the sword burn.
After four days of study, the final result was that Du Yu had another friend.
Similarly, despite his repeated communication, the system still did not respond, which made him a little crazy, not only the things that were stored in the system space, but also the completion of many of the details of his plan, and now, all disturbed by this accident.
"Damn it!" He could already remember what had happened that day, and even with his eyes, he could see that he was almost in a state of possession, and that his split finger was probably the work of the Lord of Light.
Now he regrets it a little, he was too reckless in his pursuit of mysterious powers, and as a result, he broke the system on which he depended.
However, this also confirms at least one thing, that is, the system is not as strong as imagined, and the gods can't peep into the strength like in other novels.
And the specific change that this possession brought to Du Yu himself is that the power in his body has become strange, and his body also has a feeling of being reborn, and he is not afraid of flames, at least all fire has no effect on him, the strength of qi and blood is incredible, and there is huge power between gestures, and the feeling of full explosion is as if he can throw an elephant out with his bare hands.
When you try to operate your true qi according to the method of yoga or a string of whip exercises, there will be abundant energy around you pouring into your body, and after swimming away the limbs and hundreds of remains, it will dissipate and dissolve in the muscles and blood like mercury.
Isn't this becoming a person who specializes in cultivating the physical body, and does not accept true qi, can he really become an innocent bodhisattva in the future? Thinking of this, he smiled dumbly, it is really inconvenient without the system, and his current situation can only be explored by himself.
At the same time, all other parties are also adjusting, dormant and brewing.
The eight-clawed spider is cautiously weaving his web of intelligence.
In Winterfell in the North, Bran has slowly regained his spirit, and although his legs are still disabled, he has begun to slowly try to ride again after the help of Tyrion Lannister, a young demon who has returned south from the Great Wall.
Caitlin Tully decided to return north to Winterfell after meeting Eddard Stark, and she and Ser Roderick rode through the rain, unsure whether to go to Riverrun to find her father, Horst Tully, talk to him, warn him of the coming storm, and get some wise advice from him.
But after thinking about it, she gave up the idea, Horst was already old and bedridden, and she felt that she really shouldn't bother him with these things and increase his burden.
Maybe she can go to Lysa, her sister, who is now in the Eagle's Nest at the top of the Arryn Valley, and maybe there will be the answers and evidence she and her husband Ned want from the top of the tower.
However, the mountain roads are rough and difficult to navigate, and there are many dangers. Catelyn's only man at the moment was an old knight, and the only barrier was his loyalty. So she gave up on her plans to go to Eagle's Nest after thinking about it, and I should go north to Lindong, where my home was her three sons and her great responsibility. Once she had crossed the neck safely, she could declare her identity to Ned's vassals, and then send a messenger on horseback to issue a martial law order on King's Road to capture the Lannister murderer.
The rain was as light as smoke obscured the fields at the fork in the road, and she probably didn't think that the Tyrion Lannister she wanted to capture was not far away, and that her husband was now in King's Landing, and he was nothing more than fish on a chopping board, to be slaughtered. Even King Robert is destined for her life, and what she does can only exacerbate the contradictions, but nothing can be done.
King's Landing
King Robert, who had returned from the hunt, sat in his room, looked drunkenly at his newly appointed Prime Minister, his best friend Ned, and said sincerely: "Ned, I'm sorry about your daughter, I'm serious." It's the wolf thing. My son is lying, and I'm willing to bet my soul. My son...... You love your kids, right? ”
"I love them with all my heart." Ned said
"Ned, let me tell you secretly. More than once I dreamed of giving up the throne and taking my horse and war hammer with me to the free trade city-state on a boat, and I was supposed to live my life all day long in wars and adventures, singing and dancing. Be a mercenary king, and then it's strange that the bard doesn't love me to death. Do you know why I didn't do that? Just because I thought of Joffrey sitting on the throne with Cersei chattering beside her. That's my son, Ned, how could I raise such a son? ”。
"I really love him, but I'm not a good father......" He poured down a large glass of wine and sat there with his eyes wandering, as he poured down a large glass of wine and sat still.
"He's still a kid," Ned said awkwardly. He didn't like Prince Joffrey himself, but he could hear the pain in Robert's words. "Have you forgotten how wild we were at his age?"
"Ned, if he's really wild, I won't be worried. You don't know him as well as I do. He sighed, then shook his head, "The blood of a lion and a stag, like a sheep in him, can only be fierce at home. ”
"Your Majesty......" Ned said cautiously.
"Well, your daughter will become the prince and concubine of Joffrey, she is a well-mannered, well-educated, beautiful and gentle pure girl, as lovely as the dawn, the seven gods are above, this marriage is really worth looking forward to!" Robert's beard shook and an exaggerated smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it, Sansa loves Joffrey." Ned said vaguely reluctantly, he had already seen that Joffrey was not a good person, in fact, he was reluctant to marry his daughter, but the marriage contract had been promised, and he never thought that this prince would be ruined.
And Joffrey, the prince, was abusing a kitten at the moment, the expression on his face was extremely hideous, the originally handsome face was bulging with green tendons on his forehead, and a knife clumsily hurt the milky kitten in his hand, until its fur was dyed a red peach color with gushing blood.
His face relaxed, and he smiled purely, like a child who was very satisfied with a toy.
However, the most important thing is that at the behest of King Robert, in order to welcome Duke Eddard Stark as the Hand of the King, the royal tournament will be held in King's Landing.
Outside the city walls, on the banks of the river, more than 100 tents have been erected, and thousands of ordinary people have come to watch. The shiny armor, the tall war horses draped in gold and silver, the shouts of the crowd, the passing of traders and scantily clad prostitutes, and the bright flags fluttering in the wind made this contest the most lively feast of the Seven Kingdoms.
The knights and vassals from all over the world gathered here, the coats of arms of the royal family of Baratheon and the families of the Seven Kingdoms fluttered in the wind, and the coats of arms of the eight families of the Crown Stag, the Ice Running Wolf, the Roaring Golden Lion, the Leaping Trout, the Lunar Sky Falcon, the Gaoting Battle Banner, and the Shining Sun Golden Gun were inlaid on the edge of the tent and various war equipment, and even the flags of the small and medium-sized vassals such as the Red Skinner, the Black Porcupine, the Rainbow Trout, and the Black Broken Wheel also fluttered in the wind.
Just wait for the day when the preparations of all parties are completed and the curtain opens.
