Chapter 200

Different from the dark and humid environment of most castles in Westeros, the towering tower seems to adopt a very special design, which can make light refract in along the channel, so there is no need to light torches and oil lamps during the day, and under the light light, the original black walls will occasionally flash fuzzy mysterious symbols.

Perhaps in the eyes of laymen, these symbols may be just an unreadable ancient text, but in the eyes of Zhang Cheng, they are similar to the runes carved on the horn of "dragon binding man".

Although there are great differences in the use of the two, the essence is to complete the constancy of a certain spell with the help of energy. Especially, the closer to the top of the tower, the more runes and the more powerful energy induction.

As for what kind of magic is, Zhang Cheng is not sure yet, but one thing is that the magic technology mastered by the builders of Shentian tower is no less than that of the brilliant valerian civilization.

Interestingly, compared with the magic of warelian blood and fire, the magic here is more inclined to the element of water. In addition, it is close to the sea. No wonder there are rumors that it is built by a hybrid of human and deep-sea race.

When he carefully observed the tower that was incompatible with the style of the old town, Leighton hattal, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked seriously, "count Mason, I heard that you are a powerful magic user. You once summoned hail in the battle of the Blackwater River to completely destroy Stannis's cavalry charge, right?"

"Ha ha! Overwhelming? Do you think it's possible?" Zhang Cheng asked with a laugh.

"Well, I admit that rumors may be exaggerated, but you have to admit that you have cast a large-scale offensive spell enough to control the direction of the war?" Leighton continued to test undaunted.

After a short mental adjustment, he has quickly calmed down his anger and began to try to find out the details of the mysterious young man in front of him.

You should know that the Hatal family is not as keen on seizing power and territory as other nobles. In addition to personally ending in the middle of the tangaryan Dynasty and setting off a tragic "blood Dragon Dance", they rarely really participate in the civil war. On the contrary, they prefer to slowly infiltrate the Seven Kingdoms and quietly expand their influence by relying on the two forces of the school city and the church.

After all, the church represents faith and controls the spiritual world of tens of thousands of nobles and civilians. The school city represents the inheritance of knowledge, culture and values. Almost all castles will be stationed with a bachelor from the school city, who will provide various services for the families with the castle and be responsible for educating their future generations.

To some extent, the heitar family has far more information than the so-called famous families such as Lannister, tiller, stark and Tully. Therefore, even if he loses control of the old town, Leighton still doesn't show a little panic, because he doesn't think anyone dares to take great political risks to attack himself and his family.

Feeling the arrogance vaguely revealed in the old man's words, Zhang Cheng flashed an imperceptible mockery in his eyes, followed by a smiling reply: "ah, yes, I did cast an interesting spell. Why, do you discuss the mystery of magic with me?"

Leighton quickly shook his head: "no, no, please don't get me wrong. I didn't pry into it, just want to confirm it. To tell you the truth, I don't know why, the Hatal family has completely lost the ability to learn and study magic in the last 100 years or so. Until recently, we found that the mysterious power has come back."

"So?" Zhang Cheng pretended to be indifferent.

"So I hope to get an explanation from you about why the magic suddenly disappeared and suddenly came back. I believe you, who master such a powerful spell, can't get the power suddenly?" said old Leighton, with his hands crossed on his chest and his face full of excitement and expectation.

As the first "otaku" in Westeros, he spent almost his whole life studying and learning magic knowledge, and was extremely eager to uncover the question that had plagued him for decades.

Zhang Cheng is a mage and also a person who pursues power. He understands each other's ideas very well, but he doesn't give an answer immediately. Instead, he asks in a ponderous tone: "why should I explain? Is this good for me? Count, you should understand that knowledge is expensive. If you want to get something, you must exchange it with something of equal value."

"Oh? Then what is the equivalent?" Leighton hattal cocked his mouth confidently.

It is estimated that in his opinion, with the huge wealth accumulated by the haitar family for thousands of years, no matter how outrageous the price proposed by the other party, he can meet it.

"Hehe, very simple. I think the towering tower is a good equivalent. As long as you agree to give it to me, I can not only explain the secret of the disappearance of magic, but also tell you about the real purpose of the tower. You know, although you have realized that the towering tower is a building used to study and learn magic, it has not actually played a very important role And I will show you how great this tower is... "

With the last word falling, Zhang Cheng raised his hand and injected a wave of energy into the shining wall.

moment

The originally dim light suddenly became dazzling, as if some incredible power had been awakened.

Before the people around him could react, a surge of energy began to gush out from below, lighting up one Rune after another with different shapes on the wall.

When the last Rune lit up, the flaming fire on the top of the Shentian tower exploded, replaced by a dark blue crystal the size of a small boat.

Under the sunlight, there is also a continuous flow of water silver liquid in the center of the crystal. It is so deep and charming that anyone who sees it will stop all actions involuntarily, and his expression seems to be under mental control.

"Damn it! You... What did you do?" asked moroya with a wary face.

"Relax, honey, I didn't do anything. I just woke up the tower that didn't know how long it was sleeping." Zhang Cheng ignored the guards who pulled out their long swords and posed for battle, and explained to himself.

"Wake up?" moroya grasped a key word keenly.

"Yes! Wake up!" Zhang Cheng nodded without thinking. "Although I don't know whether the towering tower is due to energy depletion or the builder's initiative to close it, in short, it has been in a semi closed state. Otherwise, it can easily set off a storm and tsunami with its own strength, and any fleet and soldiers who dare to approach will be destroyed in an instant. But you, you are stupid to regard it as a lighthouse and fortress. No It doesn't matter. I'll correct this mistake immediately. "
