Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web.

Chapter 7 Magic?!

Red Keep, Maegor's Holdfast, Queen's Ballroom.

Under countless torches and candlelight, a troupe of court dancers twirled and leaped in the hall to the melodious music.

Cersei sat on the Queen's throne on the high platform, chatting with her eldest son with a smile.

"Joffrey, this is your tournament. Isn't the banquet over yet? Why aren't you playing there?"

Cersei herself didn't want to stay with the disgusting king, so she left early, but she remembered that Joffrey enjoyed the banquet very much.

"Mother," Joffrey showed the awkward look of wanting something from an adult but being too proud to beg.

"Is Valyrian steel so powerful? I want it too."

Valyrian steel, said to be forged by magic, was an important tool for him to verify his conjecture.

He had already confirmed at the banquet: the strange feeling and the cyan shimmer were not illusions. Earl Yohn's armor might really have magic.

Magic perception, magic vision? Golden Finger?

He needed more samples.

Such as the Valyrian steel weapons in the Red Keep's vault.

Just a permission.

The eldest prince, just twelve years old, shook his mother's arm, his face full of anticipation and desire, "I heard that many people have it. I am a prince, how can I not have it? Mother must have a way."

Cersei smiled and hugged Joffrey into her arms.

"I knew there was something, my mother can only play this role."

Joffrey only urged for "candy."

Cersei couldn't resist at all. "Valyrian steel is considered precious. Many families regard it as a family sword to be passed down, worthy of my son."

"Yes. There should be some suitable ones in the vault. Robert can't use it anymore, feel free to choose."

Robert! You would never dream that the one who inherits the Iron Throne will be Jaime and my son, the Lannister bloodline!

Hmph, so what if old Jon and poker-face Stannis know? Jaime and I are still doing well, it's completely making trouble for yourselves!

Cersei stroked the prince's face lovingly, and the handsome face in front of her seemed to turn back into the cute smiling face in the swaddling clothes.

Time flies so fast, twelve years, twelve years old, it's time to learn how to rule the kingdom.

"Remember, my son."

"You are the lion, the crown prince of the Seven Kingdoms, the future King of Westeros. You can get everything as long as you ask."

"If anyone disobeys, they must be punished most severely!"

"Think of your grandfather Tywin, when the song 'The Rains of Castamere' is played, the lords of the Westlands are all in awe!"

"Fear and obedience will make the kingdom stronger."

Cersei's teaching was simple and clear.

The prince showed a bright smile, "I understand everything."

Of course I understand. The complete destruction of the disrespectful Reyne family and Tarbeck family in 'The Rains of Castamere' has brightened the glory of the Lannister family.

The ballad vividly sings: Every rainy season, the rain cries in the hall, but there is no shadow inside, and there is no soul inside.

The Farman family of Fair Isle once refused to be governed, and Duke Tywin only sent singers to play this song in the castle hall, and the Farman family immediately surrendered.

Listening to this song and looking at his own hall, Earl Farman must have felt uncomfortable at that time.

I understand.

Fear and violence are not the only things, but they are as indispensable as air to people.

"Don't worry, Mother. I will become the greatest king of Westeros and make our family more glorious."

Cersei was even happier, hugging the prince and talking non-stop, chatting about ordinary trivial matters for a while, and instilling the concept of power for a while.

It didn't stop until Joffrey showed an obvious absent-minded expression.

"Hanna," Cersei beckoned to the back and explained to her son, "She is more familiar with the Red Keep, loyal and capable, and can lead the way for you."

A maid with chestnut curly hair and a somewhat familiar face stepped forward and saluted.

"Your Highness, I am honored to serve you."

Joffrey nodded slightly. With the "Vault Pass" in hand, the operation was a great success.

Tyrion, who had no sense of existence, put down his wine glass and silently followed.

… …

The group walked through the Red Keep at night.

The torches crackled, and outside the firelight was deep shadow.

Where are Varys's "little birds", where are the secret doors and passages of the Red Keep, here, there, in unknown places.

Joffrey inexplicably remembered the prayer of the Red God, "The night is dark and full of terrors."

Even so, I will have the last laugh.

"This is the Queen's intention."

Hanna said to the guards of the vault.

The four soldiers then unlocked the heavy iron locks and worked together to push open the oak door.

Joffrey took the lead and stepped in, carefully exploring.

The Hound and Hanna followed closely.

Tyrion, who was uninvited, wandered around.

Different from the already empty national treasury, the vault is only used to store all kinds of antiques and treasures. It is difficult to realize them, and the royal dignity must also be taken into account. Therefore, it is full of dazzling things, showing the wealth and glory of the royal power.

After wandering around for a long time, Joffrey gained a lot.

Valyrian steel is as black as smoke, with an axe, two small hammers, a long sword, three daggers, and seven chain links.

There is also a ruby and two square sapphires, three dark purple crystal balls, and a glass candle. And a greatsword that looks ordinary.

Almost all are things that are definitely or rumored to be related to magic.

Except that he could sense them all, in that peculiar vision, the black Valyrian steel was shrouded in a translucent white light, similar to the cyan light of the bronze armor. There are also some different shapes and colors of faint light patterns on the glass candle.

It's really magic, I can see magic.

Joffrey felt a sense of ease and peace from the bottom of his heart.

He had always understood the danger of this world.

All men must die.

He believed in his abilities, but a dagger, a glass of poisoned wine, and a hidden arrow could end all his plans.

As long as he is still Joffrey, he will live in these dangers every day.

It's different now.

Magic, praise magic!

One day he will gain real power and stand at a higher dimension to look down on the world.

"Uncle, do you believe in magic?"

Joffrey was very curious about Tyrion's thoughts at this time. Was he observing himself, or was he indulging in pain?

Tyrion buried his head in an ancient book, looking a little melancholy.

"Maybe there is, maybe there isn't."

Joffrey, what else do you know? What exactly do you want me to do? Is my Tysha really missing?

"Reality is too absurd, it always doesn't make sense, what is worth believing? Sorry, I've read too many books."

Joffrey quite agreed. It's a pity that he can only say some stupid and boring things now.

"I heard that Valyrian steel swords are made with magic, and they are extremely sharp. Haha, with this kind of sword, who else can be my opponent?!"

Joffrey waved his hand, "Take all these away."

Hanna and the Hound then began to act.

"Good nephew," Tyrion closed the book and nodded three times.

"Considering that I came all the way with you, have mercy and take this 'Dragon Illustrated Book' with you."

"Heh, whatever."

"Thank you very much." Tyrion handed over a large book, "Here is a 'Four Kings' Chronicle' copied by Archmaester Ebrose himself. Is Your Highness interested?"

Joffrey disdained to take a look, "I know them, the Targaryen kings without dragons."

"I don't need this book, I can become the greatest king myself."

Actually, he was quite interested.

What's more, Tyrion seemed to have other intentions.

"For the sake of my uncle, Hound, take this chronicle with you. It must be useful when you can't sleep at night, haha."

A joke quite characteristic of Joffrey.

Tyrion smiled along.
