Chapter 584: Divine Demon Seed
Iger really didn't expect Asha to suddenly go crazy and attack him.
But that didn't mean he panicked: from the moment he stepped onto the political stage beyond his duties as a Night Watchman, Iger knew that he was on a perilous path, that he would offend many big names and interest groups, and that sooner or later he would face an endless stream of incredible attacks, threats, and assassinations......
For this reason, he has the consciousness to deal with any accidents, and he is always vigilant and mentally and physically prepared for self-preservation.
At the moment when the daughter of the sea monster suddenly burst into action, Egger was dressed in full armor, carrying a weapon at his waist, and only the vital point of the head was exposed on his body, in addition to the thoughtful protection, there was also the physical enhancement that Rahlo's gift quietly brought to him - in addition to the slight increase in the normalization of his body temperature and the slight acceleration of the healing speed of the injury, his reaction speed and muscle strength have also been imperceptibly increased considerably!
He sprang up from his seat almost with a whoosh, and burst into tears as he drew his sword.
"Someone!"
A famous female warrior like Asha Greyjoy, if she was also fully armed and armed, Egger might still be afraid of her, but now the other party is neither protected nor armed, if this is not an opponent, then find a crack in the ground as soon as possible, forget it, and make a fart in the world!
But the third person in the room reacted just as quickly as he was: because of his short legs, Tyrion couldn't reach the ground when he sat in the chair, and couldn't stand up with a single effort like Egger, so he chose another fight-like way to deal with the sudden accident - he stretched out his legs and tripped Asha the moment she rushed towards Egger as she bypassed him.
Whether it was the long-term experience of wearing shackles that made her lose the ability to maintain her balance, or whether she had only the target in her eyes and completely ignored the existence of the others in the pounce, Egger was clearly ready to fight her back or hack her to death with a sword, but Asha was not angry at all...... With a pop, he fell to the ground and gnawed on the mud.
The guards outside the door swarmed in, some rushing towards Tyrion and some at Asha, the dwarfs of the Lannisters raised their arms and grabbed them, and the daughter of the sea monster was held down by several big men in an instant, but even though her face had been pressed to the cold ground by her thick knees, she still screamed, writhed, and tried to break free of control and pounced on Egger and him desperately...... Fortunately, such a fierce resistance did not last long, and after about three or five seconds, she rolled her eyes as if she had suddenly exhausted her strength, and passed out.
......
The feast was disappointed, the wine was lost, and as for the Cypriot woman who Tyrion had some expectations...... It's even more gone.
The entire coalition camp was in an uproar.
The scene of Tyrion stretching his foot and stumbling over Asha fell into Egg's eyes, but the attack that began quickly and ended quickly took place during the Westside delegation's visit and was carried out by its members, so although he subconsciously did not believe that his friend had instigated this, Egg ordered Tyrion to wait in another tent, sent troops to control all the people he brought with him, and raised the security level of the camp to the maximum in case of a possible follow-up attack.
Less than a minute after Asha regained her freedom, she was handcuffed and shackled again, but everything must happen for a reason, and Iger ordered her to be tortured to find out why she attacked her and who instructed her, but to no avail - the subject insisted that he had fainted shortly after entering the tent and had no memory of the attack.
Just as the enraged Iger was about to transfer the interrogation to the Western Mission, the red-robed woman who heard the news solved the mystery.
"Interesting...... It seems to be a god of demons!" Melisandre pressed her hand on Asha's head for a moment, her face surprised as if she had seen a rare animal, "I've heard of this unpopular spell for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen it, who is the caster?"
Asha, who was tied to the chair, obviously couldn't answer, only Egger next to him frowned: "What kind of spell is that, what is the principle and effect?
"The principle of this spell is not complicated, but it requires mastery of both hypnosis and mind control spells to cast it...... As far as I know, it was all but lost when the last person in the world who could use it skillfully disappeared in the apocalypse of Valyria. I say 'almost' because the relevant information has survived, and it is found in the Red Temple of Valantis. It is possible to restore it to the light of day, but under the general trend of depleting mana, no priest is willing to do such a thankless task. The witch patiently explained as she carefully probed Asha's spiritual sea with her magical powers, "The person who falls for this spell usually seems to be normal, but when he receives a certain trigger signal, he suddenly has a seizure when he sees something or hears a certain word, loses himself and becomes a puppet, carrying out the instructions implanted by the spell caster or completing the tasks he has assigned. β
And this weird spell? The world of ice and fire is too dangerous, and Iger suddenly misses the earth.
"It sounds scary, but its inherent flaws make it chicken ribs for the most partβ The foundation required to master it is too high, and the caster is likely to be a famous mage to that extent, and there are a lot of other means to achieve similar effects, even if some very special tasks are impossible for it to complete, there are still many problems ahead: this spell is difficult to perform, it is easy to check out, it can be regarded as an enemy by those who know this spell, most of them are not unknown, even if they are not good at spells, there must be reliable guards around them. And when the person in the middle of the art has a seizure, he is also like a walking corpse, and he does not have a clear mind and all skills...... Well, it doesn't seem like a very clever mage who performed this spell on Miss Asha, can you remember the last time you were unconscious or unconscious?"
Asha's eyes widened, and the shock and despair in her eyes were palpable: when the red-robed woman explained this, how could she not understand what was going on?
The strange feeling that has been haunting my mind like a ghost turns out to be this thing!
Instead of running out of Pike Island with difficulty, not at all hanging and hanging at the last minute to escape the clutches, everything was a trap, Euron hypnotized herself with that magic eye, and lured her uncle to rob the prison, not only successfully eradicating the last obstacles and threats to the stability of his rule in the Iron Islands, but also sending himself back to Egg...... Gave the latter a big start!
After making such a show, how can I still have the face to ask this man to retake the Iron Islands for himself?!
Like a ball stuffed into an iron box, after countless failures and encounters back and forth, Asha feels that she has been played bad by fate, and she has become so numb that she can no longer collapse, if it weren't for the fact that her hands and feet are tied at this moment, she will definitely stand up and snatch the saber of the guard next to her, wipe her neck and say goodbye to this world, and to hell with any hatred, ambition and ideals!
"Can you unravel this spell?"
"Theoretically, no. Melisandre's hand left Asha's head, "Everything that involves the spiritual realm requires amazing skill, and that's completely outside my knowledge...... But as I said earlier β this spell caster is not very smart. As long as the complete Divine Mind Demon Seed is not removed, it will survive until the death of the caster, and before that, every trigger signal will cause an attack, but now this one in Miss Asha is not only quite crude and simple, but also disposable. β
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, but if you're not at ease, you can ask her not to come near you again. β
Egger rubbed the stubble on his chin, and could already guess what was going on: Euron, a madman, had not only picked up the tile steel armor and the dragon's horn during his adventure into the ruins of the apocalypse, but also learned some rudimentary ancient spells by chance...... This is simply the template for the protagonist's adventure! Fortunately, he doesn't have a good grasp of it, just imagine: if Asha's implanted Divine Mind Demon Seed is not simply "attack immediately when you see yourself", but a little more advanced and complex, such as "waiting for the right time to launch a fatal blow", how dangerous and terrifying would it be?
With a long, depressed breath, he spoke with anger suppressed.
"Miss Asha, it is useless to say more accusatory. But now you'd better let go of that aggrieved look of not wanting to live, and tell me everything that happened after leaving Icefjord, especially what you saw and heard before and after the contact with Euron...... If you can't kill Croweye, then I'll have to go into battle myself, if you can let me have some useful information about the Iron Islands before then, for Theon's sake, I can at least guarantee that you will have a job in the future royal navy."
