The two stopped their magic, and Werther cooled the steel sword with an ice spray technique. With a few "pop, pop", the twisted steel sword couldn't bear the brilliance of magic, broke into several knots and fell to the ground.

And when the great sword ice in Renly's hand was ignited by magic, the temperature didn't turn red when it was heated up. It was cooled by Renly's ice spraying technique, but the water vapor evaporated and a large amount of white steam came out, and finally the sword body A white layer of solid ice had condensed, and Renly slammed the greatsword on the deck, shaking off the ice, and the greatsword remained in its original appearance.

Renly returned the great sword Ice to Ed. Valyrian steel weapons are perfect for magicians, but Renly is not greedy, because he and Werther have been buying Valyrian steel fragments for several years , Werther also said that with the deepening of magic, he will be able to create Valyrian steel in the future.

With the victory of this war, Werther's use of magic in Pike City shines, and the reputation of him and Renly, two magicians, will soon spread throughout the continent.As long as there are no accidents, the two will definitely become a new force when they grow up.

Some nobles have already made up their minds to buy Valyrian steel weapons to give to Werther or Renly, but after thinking about their wallets, they are still reluctant. The price is already expensive, and today’s news will spread, and the price will increase even more. And even if you have money, you can't find a place to buy it.

After the magic demonstration, everyone started to drink again. Soros found Werther and saluted respectfully:

"Sir Werther, I wonder if you can teach me magic?"

"Haha, of course it's okay, but it's not teaching, we communicate with each other."

Werther also wanted to learn about the magic of the Lord of Light family from him, and Werther was very interested in their fire magic and life-related magic.

Although Soros is outstanding in martial arts, but his magic talent is average and he is not determined. He first learned the magic of the Lord of Light, but he couldn't learn anything. So he was assigned a hard job: to preach in Westeros, but he couldn't let go of money and women. Run to be a mercenary.Only Robert, who is a leading brother, can subdue this kind of people. According to the original historical development, he founded the Brotherhood Without Banners after Robert's death, and continued to fight against the Lannisters in the name of Robert.

Werther asked Robert:

"Brother, is the book "The Essence of Magic, From Understanding to Getting Started" that I gave you earlier still on board?"

This book was written by Witt. The content in the book introduces the type, quality and attributes of magic. It can be regarded as a popular science book at best. After reading it, people who don’t know magic can roughly tell which is magic and which are other natural phenomena. After reading this book, people with magic power can control the flow of magic power in their bodies. Besides, there is no more in-depth content. It is not a rare thing. The really advanced books are locked in the secret room of Storm's End by Renly.

Robert sent Jaime Lannister to fetch it from the cabin.After Werther gave the inside pages of this book to Robert, he found a court bachelor to make a luxurious cover with high-quality materials. He read it seriously at first, but before he read half of it, he threw it aside and drank. It was nothing. The secret books were passed on to most people in the Red Castle after Werther agreed. This time Robert brought them on board just because the clerk would write down the king's favorite things as one of the king's accompanying items.

Soros took the book, opened the luxurious cover, glanced at it, and acted as if he regarded it as a treasure. What he had learned before was mixed with a lot of religious content of the Lord of Light, and magic did not account for one-tenth of it.

"You don't need to hide it, you can show it to others, but remember to return it to the king."

Werther asked him to return the book to Robert, just to find a reason for him to deepen the relationship with Robert and let him stay with Robert. If Werther and Renly were not around, Robert would not even have a magician around him.

In addition, he must be asked to give up his belief in the Lord of Light and his missionary career, and concentrate on learning magic from Werther. Werther does not believe that he can resist a set of direct marketing and brainwashing methods in this world. From now on, there will be no "red monk" Soros, only mages Soros.

Lannister Port is the most important port in the Western Territory. The wreckage stuck in the port was quickly salvaged and cleaned up under the organization of Tywin. He didn't feel bad about spending money. He deeply understood the principle that money makes money. Earn it back in your pocket.By the time the returning fleet arrived at the port, Tywin had already done the work of welcoming them.

Seeing Robert, Tywin and Stannis talking in low voices, Werther knew that they were discussing how to make a fortune in the tournament again.In the past few days, Werther has been suffering from a back injury. He understands that a man's waist is the key point. Abandoning the waist is equivalent to crippling the whole person. Even healing magic has no effect. He has been researching the reason these days.

Ordinary soldiers have begun to return to their respective territories. Those who stayed in Lannister Port to participate in the tournament were nobles and soldiers who had done meritorious service. The hotels in the port were suddenly overcrowded. Lannister, recognized as the richest person in the mainland, naturally had to entertain him well.

At the banquet, Tywin gave a generous speech about the upcoming tournament, and behind him stood two knights in full armor.

The "Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane and the "Hound" Sandor Clegane, their family is a loyal Lannister family. They are property knights who have risen in the West since their grandfathers. Their family emblem is three hounds on a yellow background. , but his style of behavior is cruel, and even many nobles in the western region don't like it, so many people in the family are nicknamed dogs.

Werther looked at the tall Magic Mountain and thought:

[I have to find a way to sell the Magic Mountain to my father-in-law Oberon, in exchange for benefits with Tywin, or just tie him up in the dark?The red monk can also deal with the Devil's Mountain alone, but the Devil's Mountain is so big that it is still a big trouble to carry it silently in the castle. 】

In the past few years, the secrets of the Lannister family rushing into the Red Castle to assassinate the Targaryen royal family have also been spread one after another, including the "Magic Mountain" who personally killed Princess Dorne and threw her two children to death.

Prince Oberon has been doing well as a mercenary in the Eastern Continent for the past few years. After learning about this, he dared not write a letter to the Red Keep to ask Robert. He was afraid of leaking the news, so he sent the letter to Storm's End Renly, this is what the Baratheon family owes to Dorne. After discussing it, the brothers agreed to find a chance to "send" the Mountain to Dorne.

Chapter 32 Magic Management

At night, Stannis, Werther, and Renly gather in Robert's room, and Renly uses a whisper spell to silence the room.

"Werther! You have done a great job this time, and you have shown the power of magic in front of everyone. I told you to give you a reward earlier, but you rejected it. What are you thinking?" Although Robert hadn't sobered up yet, The words were really thought through.

[I am the king of the Seven Kingdoms, my second brother is the Duke of Dragonstone Island and the Sea Minister, the third inherits the Duke of Storm's End, and the youngest brother has the strongest personal strength. For his own hegemony, he was forced to marry Dorn politically since he was a child. Now he is just a jazz, and his territory is just a small fortress. I feel very sorry for him. 】

"One of the most powerful things about magic is that the enemy is unprepared this time. If the enemy is prepared, such as with a heavy crossbow, or launches a siege when I have no magic power, it will not be so smooth, and I almost Hacked to death.” Werther didn’t have to save face in front of his brothers, telling the truth.

"It even flashed to the waist, haha, man, sooner or later you will go to the battlefield to hone, you two are not yet 12 years old, you are already very good."

Renly took a sip of his rum and said, "But I didn't get anything done this time!"

Werther laughed:

"It's Big Brother Robert's fault. Who told him to ride a horse on Pyke Island. Horses can't run fast in that damn place. When he gets there, the battle will be over long ago. You can only clean the battlefield with him."

Robert patted his fat belly. He had almost forgotten how to fight after eating, drinking and having fun as a king for the past few years. Even his current armor was belly-protruding.Stannis smiled too, a little contemptuous in his smile.

"By the way, what about your rejection of the reward?" Robert returned to the topic.

Werther sat up straight and said to Robert seriously:

"I want my eldest brother to add in the imperial meeting: the chief archmage of the kingdom. His duty is to command all the magicians in the kingdom, manage all magical things in the kingdom, and check and balance with the power of the school city."

Robert and Stannis were shocked to hear that, and it shook the kingdom's power structure.

"Since the unification of the Seven Kingdoms in the past few hundred years, the imperial council has always been composed of seven members, the Hand of the King, the three ministers of finance, justice, and maritime affairs, as well as the chief of intelligence and the Grand Master, plus the captain of the Kingsguard. , now add one more seat?" Stannis was inflexible, unable to see the situation.

Robert was still thinking in shock, but Werther added:

"The magic power of the whole world is recovering, and there will be more and more magicians in the future. The unstoppable rise of magicians has begun."

Renly also interjected, "I also feel that mana recovery is much faster now than before."

Witte continued:

"Everyone knows the power of magic. Now Renly and I are only 12 years old. I can guarantee that when we grow up, one person can easily destroy a castle!"

"If this group of newly grown mages is left unattended, no one's safety can be guaranteed in the future, and the one who manages this group of people can only be the strongest mages, and currently I am the only one."

Robert kept knocking on the table, thinking hard, and asked after a while:

"Have you thought about how to manage it?"

"Establish a mage school, establish various standard systems and terminology for magic, accept young people with magical potential from the entire continent, use a method similar to that of a knight attendant, and teach in a more in-depth way to increase the relationship between master and apprentice. Apprentices are graded. After completing their studies, they will be registered in the kingdom, and the king will issue a mage badge, and they will decide whether to join the army or stay in the mage school."

"Then if these apprentices go to other places to recruit their own apprentices, wouldn't they be out of control?" Robert asked.

"Other nobles can temporarily hire them, but it is impossible to completely break away from the mage system, at least for the next 100 years." Witte drank his saliva,

"In order to train a Renly, countless teaching equipment were made. Most of the money Renly and I earned was invested in it. Renly, even a top talent, spent millions of gold dragons to learn the intermediate level, and the later ones are more It’s difficult, ordinary nobles can’t afford it and can’t make it.”

Speaking of this, Werther couldn't help thinking [This is comparable to training astronauts in this world, it's just teaching without alchemist equipment, being a mage is really expensive! 】

Renly touched his nose beside him, a little embarrassed.

Robert also touched his nose, and he often borrowed a lot of golden dragons from his two brothers to eat, drink and play.

Werther continued to add, "In addition, my surname is Baratheon. I can't guarantee that the descendants of the Baratheon family who have magical potential will become powerful mages. It depends on talent and self-consciousness, but I can guarantee that they will be more powerful than other mages." A good education, and until my death the system was run by the Baratheons, like the dragons of House Targaryen."

In fact, Werther didn't say that there are only all attributes of himself and Renly at present.After several years of research, I found that people with magical powers in this world basically have only one attribute, and very few people with excellent talents have two. Renly is because he and he are identical twins through time travel.

Robert slapped the table:

"That's it. After the tournament is over, I will hold an imperial meeting when I return to King's Landing. Werther and Renly will attend the meeting together. Werther will be the chief archmage, and Renly will be his deputy. You two often run outside, so you have to stay Personal meeting in King's Landing."

Stannis didn't say much, and the imperial council would definitely vote in favor.He couldn't think of anything else, but he couldn't bear Queen Cersei's constant meddling in the affairs of the kingdom. Now that the four brothers of the Baratheon family would all appear in the imperial council, Cersei would be pushed out of power soon.

"Let's settle the chief archmage first. I still have to prepare for the magic school for a year. Magic research and learning are very dangerous. The mage school will be built on the collapsed dragon's lair in King's Landing. It doesn't need to be too big. Dragon There's no one around the hole that fits right in."

"Yes, but the money for the school?" Robert was a little depressed. He knew the advantages of staying away from the city of King's Landing. First, he could avoid the danger of magic, and second, he could stay away from the nobles who formed gangs, but it cost money. .

"Renly and I paid for it and slowly repaired it. The house doesn't need to be too big, nor is it a bunker. Calculated every year, it won't cost much."

"In addition, I would like to say that I don't like power. I am very tired of intrigue. I like to throw a spell over and kill all the enemies directly. After the magic school is on the right track, Renly will take over. I am going to the Eastern Continent, to Wat The ruins of Leiria, or go further afield to find traces of ancient magic.”

"Are you never coming back?" Robert had already found out that his brother's ambition was not here, and heard that he had gone further afield and thought Werther was not going to come back.

"How is it possible? I've only been there for a few years. Magic can't be done behind closed doors. You need to broaden your horizons. Moreover, so many Valyrian steel and magic gadgets originated in the Eastern Continent. I don't feel at peace if I don't go."

"What time do we leave?" Stannis asked, too.

Werther thought for a while, "I'm only 12 years old now, let's wait until the 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony is over."

"Then why don't you talk now!" Robert slapped Werther on the head.

Chapter 33 Leisure before the game

"It's made of Valyrian steel, but this vibration?" Ed had his own Valyrian steel sword, Ice, and naturally recognized the material.

"The material from Renly, I made it myself, as long as there are magic fluctuations around it, it will vibrate, and it will naturally vibrate when I stand here."

This is a test product made by Witt's fiddle with enchanting. There is a small mechanism for detecting the magic power of enchantment inside the pendant. It will rotate when it encounters something with magic power hundreds of meters nearby, and it will vibrate when it rotates due to its irregular shape.The soul used for enchanting is a wolf that was killed on the spot, so Werther made the shell of the small mechanism into the shape of a wolf's head for decoration.

"Isn't it appropriate to give such a valuable magic item to Robb?" Ed knew that there were very few magic items, almost extinct.

"Take what is for your son!" Robert said beside him, and it would not be a pity to give something good to his best buddies.

"White gave me a stag, too, but he and Renly hung around the Red Keep a lot, and the necklace kept vibrating, so I threw it in the closet."

"What's engraved on the back of this badge?" Ed asked the word on the back of the wolf head badge that looked like it was scratched out by claws.

"High Valyrian: Winter is coming."

"I say thank you for Robb!" Ed also likes this pendant very much. The wolf shape of his family and the family motto are a good gift.

Robert came over and patted Ed on the shoulder. "You're always serious." Said I was going to take a shower.

Werther stopped Ed:

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you, let's find a quieter place."

Ed was a little puzzled. After thinking about it, he walked to the rock garden with Werther. Werther covered the conversation between the two with a soft cloth around him.

"Brother Ed, do you still remember the younger sister of the Sword of Dawn, Ashara Dayne?"

"I haven't heard from her for a long time. I heard that she is dead." Ed was a little sad. Since Robert won the war and became king, except for this crusade against the Iron Islands, he has never been out of the North.

Werther looked into Ed's eyes: "I was in Dorne during that war. We were together half a year before she died. She gave birth to a daughter."

Ed looked at Werther in surprise, his face was full of shock, and he looked forward to it:

"Did you really have a daughter?"

"Yes, your daughter."

"what is her name?"

"The Dayne family has adopted her into their family. She takes her mother's name, Ashara Dayne. Born in 283, a few months older than Robb."

After hearing this, Ed's expression changed again and again, he was happy for a while and anxious for a while.

His sister had a child with Prince Rhaegar, and they brought him back to the north and named him Jon Snow. He never revealed who his mother was, and when anyone asked him, he responded with sinking. Now he has another illegitimate child. He is serious. People, unlike Robert's careless bastards, are worrying him enough now.

Werther let him digest and didn't speak, but Ed couldn't help but ask:

"Is she doing well?"

"The Dane family will not treat her badly if they let her be named Dane. She lives very well in Starfall City, and she has the potential of a mage. When she was born, I told the Dane family that I would accept her as an apprentice. She has magic, and in a few years I'll be writing to ask her to come to me."

"Thank you very much." Ed gave Werther a hug and patted Werther on the shoulder. He was not good at expressing, and he was still thinking about what to do next in his mind. He walked out of the garden alone after thinking about it.

Chapter 34 Jorah's Spring

The time has come for the start of the tournament.

Tywin had been prime minister for 20 years before, during his tenure, he vigorously promoted the tournament. Naturally, the tournament field in Lannister Port was not a temporary construction, but a special venue built of stones. It is tens of meters long, and the stands on both sides are also more than [-] meters high, which can accommodate thousands of spectators, and can be used as both a martial arts arena and other performances.

Several dukes and kings sat on the rostrum, and Werther's seat was behind the rostrum. There was still some time before the game started, and everyone was chatting with their acquaintances.

Ned looked at Werther, and the two nodded to each other, knowing that something had happened. Ned had given Werther a small box before, and asked Werther to send it to her illegitimate daughter Ashara.

The whole tournament was very lively. Jorah Mormont was in high spirits in this tournament, defeating strong opponents one after another. A few days later, he met Jaime Lannister in the final, and the two fought nine rounds. Finally, Robert awarded the champion to Jorah.

Although Jaime Lannister lost the game and did not win the championship under the witness of the elders in his hometown, Tywin was not unhappy, because the game gambling controlled by Stannis made Tywin and Robert a lot of money.

Now Stannis doesn't need Werther's guidance to manipulate the gambling game. This time, he is completely in control of the whole process. Werther can't help but sigh [different from the original book, the second brother finally has a skill now. 】

Werther finds Jorah Mormont on the sidelines of the tourney stands, chatting passionately with his "Queen of Love and Beauty" Lyness Hightower.

"Sir Werther."

"Ser Jorah."

Jorah and Werther have been on the battlefield together, and the relationship between the two has been pretty good in the past month, but formal occasions are still called according to etiquette.

"Long time no see, little Werther, you've grown taller." Linice was very casual, talking to Werther with a smile and reaching out to pat Wirter's head.

Linice and Gunsor are brothers and sisters. Werther used to come to her house when he was in the school city, telling jokes to make her laugh when he had nothing to do. The relationship between the two is very good, and the blond hair is beautiful and fair. The handsome guy's head is not someone Can touch.

"Sister Linice, it's been a long time."

Jorah was a little surprised: "You know each other?"

"I studied in the Academy City for four years, and I knew Gunthor Hightower. I often visited his house as a guest, so I naturally knew Linnis." Werther explained to Jorah.
