Casting spells

About ten minutes later, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor.

When the footsteps stopped at the door of the room, her eyes were filled with tears at some point, and her whole body was trembling slightly.

silence!

Depressed!

After a full 5 minutes, the person standing at the door said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry..."

"No, you don't have to apologize, Lord Baelish, maybe this is my fate. I just want to know now, when will you take me away from King's Landing, this city that I loathe and hate?" Sansa nodded Don't ask back.

Obviously, the person standing at the door was none other than Littlefinger who had just rushed back after receiving the news.

His eyes were slightly bloodshot, and he replied sincerely: "I have already prepared the boat, as long as you want, you can leave now."

"Now? Didn't you say you'd wait until Joffrey's wedding is over?" Sansa, who had been preparing her feelings, finally turned around at this moment, showing her lovely and pitiful appearance.

"Yes, leaving at that time is the most difficult to be noticed, but for you, I am willing to take a little risk." Baelish clenched his fists tightly, trying not to let himself show the anger and jealousy in his heart for years. face.

"Forget it, let's wait until after the wedding, you are the last person who really cares about me, I don't want any accidents to happen to you..."

Chapter 187 Boundaries

In the middle of the night, Zhang Cheng returned to his residence and did not fall asleep. Instead, he continued to hide in the room alone, concentrating on studying the new theoretical knowledge obtained from the dragon and the content engraved on the dragon crystal stone tablet by the Valyrians.

Especially the part about blood magic and body transformation, it is like opening a new door.

According to his understanding, the dragon's initial transformation of the Valyrians was equivalent to combining a part of its own genes with human genes to produce a new species that resembled half-human, half-dragon.

Later, with intermarriage and blood thinning, the proportion of human genes began to increase, and finally gradually became the image of gold and silver hair and purple eyes that the world is familiar with.

In fact, this is just the appearance of ordinary Valyrians, just like the Targaryen family from the bottom of society, but the real "Dragon King" maintains a state close to half-dragon and half-human, for example, it is recorded in the stele The dragon kings of all dynasties have a pair of iconic vertical pupils, and their limbs and fingers are more slender and stronger than ordinary people.

According to Valyrian tradition, every dragon king who takes the throne needs to perform a terrible ceremony to awaken the dormant power in his body. Only those who pass the ceremony are eligible to become the ruler of Valyria.

As for the losers...

Well, it is impossible for a dead person to become a dragon king.

Zhang Cheng felt that this transformation was very similar to the dragonmen created by the guardian dragons of Azeroth.

Although he has no idea of ​​transforming himself at all, he doesn't mind using it to create a batch of powerful cannon fodder at certain critical moments.

"Life... contract... grant... hatching... rebirth...

I see!The so-called transformation is essentially remodeling and regeneration.As for the person's previous memory, personality, and way of thinking, they will all disappear and be replaced by a brand new creature.

Interesting... Really interesting... It's almost like genetic modification and cloning technology in science fiction movies.

It's just that this technology seems immature, once the body of the transformed person can't bear the tearing of the powerful magic force, the cells will collapse instantly, leading to inevitable death..."

While Zhang Cheng was muttering to himself, while carefully experimenting with mice, the magic sword placed on the table suddenly asked: "Dear master, I don't understand why you are so cautious. Could it be that you are so cautious? With the power you currently have, do you still need to look at the faces of those stupid nobles? You can kill all the guys who dare to resist, and then become king and conquer the entire continent."

"Hmph! Another set of idiotic remarks. Yes, I do have enough power to conquer this land, but after the conquest? I need to spend a lot of time and energy to maintain the rule, quell the rebellion, restore agriculture and trade, which is for me What are the benefits? Most importantly, I can't guarantee that when I go to the next world, will I still be able to have an absolute advantage with my own power? If not, then I have to learn to gain an advantage under the rules, just like you are now See me doing the same, flexibly using the rules to seize the initiative." Zhang Cheng gave the answer with a sneer.

Never break the original rules easily, this is a restriction set by himself, and it is also to better hide his identity, integrate into the environment, and protect his own safety.

If he acts like an idiot, setting off a rebellion arrogantly wherever he goes, and having a head-on conflict with the local aborigines, he will die in an unknown corner in a short time.

"You mean... you are studying?" Demon Sword asked in an uncertain tone.

Zhang Cheng nodded without thinking: "Yes! I want to use this hard-won opportunity to learn from those conspiracy masters how to manipulate people's hearts. Anyway, I am invincible from now on. Why? Why don't you enjoy this game of thrones? Even if I lose in the contest of wits, I can turn the situation around with my powerful magic power. So shut up and don't disturb my research anymore."

"Well, my evil master, in fact, I am quite satisfied with the way of pushing a young girl into the abyss of power, although it is a bit regrettable that it lacks a little violence and bloodthirsty. Although the previous masters have done a lot of evil things, but They are not like you, after deeply understanding what evil is, they are still unswervingly walking on the path of evil, in my opinion, your whole soul exudes a melancholy, deep and dead breath."

"Hahahaha! Evil? Can you tell me who defines evil and justice? Why do you think what I do is evil?" Zhang Cheng laughed and turned around.

"Huh? Don't you think what you have done is evil?" Demon Sword revealed undisguised surprise in his tone.

"No, of course not! Why should I admit that I am evil?"

Zhang Cheng shook his head slightly, put down the notes in his hand, and stretched out a finger to himself.

"First of all, to correct one point, many people think that the main difference between evil and justice lies in motives, which is actually wrong.

Think about it, if a person helps others out of good intentions, the result is an irreparable disaster, and even the death of tens of thousands of people. Do you think his actions are evil or just?

There is another person who killed his companions out of malice, but he inadvertently destroyed the research of a terrible virus, and if this virus leaked, it would kill tens of millions of people. Do you think he is righteous or evil? ?

There is no doubt that the former may have good intentions, but the disaster he brought to the whole world, in my opinion, is the real evil;

Although the latter committed murder, he saved countless lives. This is the real justice.

Many times, the line between good and evil is blurred at all, and I personally prefer to judge by the results.

With the example out of the way, let's look at my behavior again.

I admit that I am using Sansa to take revenge on Baelish, and I also admit that I personally pushed this originally kind girl into the vortex of power.

But please note that if my plan succeeds, the civilians who are deeply troubled by war and chaos will be relieved, and this continent will end the war and return to peace.

This also means that the consequences of my actions are beneficial to most people. Since most people can benefit, how can it be considered evil?

So please pay attention to your wording. Far from being evil, I should be called a messenger of justice. "

After listening to these words, I don't know whether it is sophistry or sophistry, Demon Sword fell into silence for 5 minutes, and finally let out a helpless sigh.

"Alas - I really don't know whether I should praise your eloquence and wisdom, or your shamelessness. Well, from now on we are the messengers of justice. Please believe me, if one day you meet the devil of Baator hell , will definitely become best friends with them. These guys will be more than happy to discuss the art of deception with you."

"Hehe, I also look forward to meeting these devils, it will be very, very interesting..."

Chapter 188

There is no doubt that Zhang Cheng is very clear about what his actions mean, and he is also very clear about the definition of evil in the universal values.

But he doesn't intend to succumb to these definitions, let alone admit that he is a member of the evil camp, because once he admits it, it is tantamount to subconsciously putting himself on the opposite side of the majority, and only a crazy idiot would Enjoy the endless confrontation with so many enemies.

What he has to do is to distort, or subvert the definition of justice and evil, in order to hide his true intentions.

To put it simply, he is an out-and-out utilitarian, who cares about the result and whether he can get benefits, not the means used.

Of course, right now Zhang Cheng doesn't need to think about the faction.

After all, A Song of Ice and Fire is not like the Forgotten Kingdom. There is a strict line to distinguish evil from justice. In many cases, only a simple low-level spell is needed to distinguish the opponent's camp through the aura on each person.

Here is a relatively chaotic world, but also a world close to reality. Everyone has complex desires and obsessions, and it is impossible to distinguish them by pure "good" or "bad".

To put it simply, because there is no guidance from a real god, the mortals here lack purity. They may be fighting for power, raping and plundering for lust one second, but in the next second they will help a person who has never been born because of some emotional factors. Acquainted beggars.
