Chapter 216 Dilemma
The continent of Westeros once had magic, dragons, spirits, and all possible characters in bedtime stories that old nanny used to scare children. The “ancestors” who first came to this continent, with the help of the children of the forest and magic, drove the evil creatures “foreign ghosts” into the icy snowfield, and then with the help of giants, they built flat ground in the northern wilderness. A fortification of a city wall nearly 600 kilometers long and more than two hundred meters high is a magical building called the Great Wall of Impasse.
Later, Aegon, the “conqueror” of the Targaryen family, rode a giant dragon to Westeros. Relying on the flames they brought, he destroyed or captured one castle after another, and eventually became the whole of Westeros. ruler. He became the “Guardian of the Seven Kingdoms”, the only king, and developed magic to the pinnacle in this world.
But hundreds of years later, the dragon gradually died, and the magic disappeared. The school city that had studied magic and spells had to announce the disappearance of the power of magic. Of course, people still often hear mysterious spells, weird creatures and claimed miracles.
“But those are just unproven legends, aren’t they? Spells, magic, and other things.” Tyrion opened his mouth slightly, his eyes mixed with excitement and doubt. “I know the difference between magic and magic. Even if you are a demon hunter, you don’t want to fool me.”
“Tell me first, what does the Demon Hunter do? Do you eliminate all witchcraft users and monsters?” Zhao Mai asked Savre while bandaging Sir Rodrik.
“Yes, it should be an era that belongs to humans, and there should be no magic.”
“In other words, are you ready to deprive humans of the right to use magic? Who gave you such power?” Zhao Mai shook his head and said: “You and I have fought side by side before, and I am not in the mood to debate this with you for the time being. So I say now, I am not a magician or a wizard.”
Saffore’s fingers flicked on the handle of the knife, then crossed to his waist, “Are you lying to me?”
“Why, are you going to take out the long knife on the grounds that I deceived you? I warn you, be careful of the consequences.” Zhao Mai took out a cherry with the magic berry technique from the small bag next to his body and stuffed it. Into Jazz’s mouth. This thing has both the nutrition that an adult needs a day and a certain amount of healing power. It is the most gentle treatment method.
Sir swallowed the cherries directly without letting go of the nucleus, and his expression became much better right after that. He listened to the dialogue between these people without fail, and at this moment he felt it necessary to say something. “The old **** is on top, what are you arguing about and how to start killing each other?”
“No.” Saffre shook his head, “I don’t have any definite evidence to prove that Mike is a monster, so I won’t draw a sword. But I will stare at you. If you do harm to humans, believe me. I, I will never hesitate. I am best at killing monsters.”
Zhao Mai just snorted softly, not really paying attention. After treating Sir Roderick’s wound, he moved him to his wagon, and the broth on the other side was basically healed. It would be more delicious if it could be cooked for another half an hour, but beside the battlefield, there was nothing to fault with a meal of steaming meat.
Tyrion has been following Zhao Mai’s side. Several times he wanted to speak but didn’t get a chance. Saffore kept staring at them! Tyrion knew that as long as Saffel was around, Mike would certainly not admit that he could magic, because that meant there was no room for return. He prides himself on seeing people accurately, and has already figured out the temperament of this Mike. He is the kind of guy who looks maverick on the surface, but is actually quite enthusiastic, always thinking about others without knowing it. It is precisely this kind of character that he will travel with these mobs, take care of Tyrion on the way, and also be careful not to arouse Caitlin’s disgust. He would find food for everyone and heal Sir Roderick-even though Roderick was the one who dragged him on the road.
Such a person will suffer someday, but there is no way to stop Tyrion from like it.
“You shouldn’t follow me.” Zhao Mai didn’t eat the pot of horse broth. He didn’t like the **** smell that was characteristic of the battlefield surrounding him, which greatly affected his appetite. He also didn’t like being stared at by an ugly dwarf holding a bowl when he was in a daze. “You are paying attention to the wrong goal. Magic is still an unproven thing, but you are still a captive. That is reality. You should think about how to get out of your predicament.”
“You can take me away,” Tyrion said in a low voice. It turned out that he had never forgotten this matter, but he combined it with his own curiosity magic. “My sister is the queen, and my father is the guardian of the West, one of the strongest dukes in the world. The Lannister family can sponsor you and help you realize your wish.”
“Don’t you ask what my wish is? What if it is to kill everyone in Westeros?”
Tyrion shook his head and said, “You are not that kind of person. And, even if that is the case, the Lannisters will be the last to be killed. Look at this group of people, Star Neither Mrs. K nor Sir Rodrik have the ability to fight, and Marion is even more of a waste. Bologne is a very realistic mercenary, and he is likely to follow rather than stop. Those knights who loyally serve the Stark family They all died in the battle, so only Saffel was left… but if you want to go, he can’t stop him, right?”
“I like you, Tyrion, this is the truth.” Zhao Mai said, “but…”
Zhao Mai got stuck and didn’t know what to say. Did you just refuse Tyrion’s help? Zhao Mai knew that he was wronged, and the murderer who assassinated Caitlin’s son had nothing to do with him, so this arrest was meaningless. He could take Tyrion with him easily, and he could even leave without hurting anyone at all. He can help Tyrion avoid painful torture again and again, and even help him become the most powerful man in Westeros.
and then? Is that Tyrion Lannister still the one in his memory? Or the little man who has grown through hardships and is still tenacious despite his injuries? Lifting the dwarf up high, he will still look at the world as coldly as he used to, and will remain sympathetic, will he be so different? Maybe he will become the same Lannister like his father, a “Lannister’s giant”, a “lion”, but it’s just maybe.
Maybe all of this is just speculation and will not actually happen. Maybe we should put down the shackles and turn this place upside down. In the world of Artas, Zhao Mai knew that the slave uprising was the general trend of world development, and he took advantage of the trend and won the final victory. But then I think about it, does he now have the power to play freely? Can he ignore the will of this world?
Passion and reason are always difficult to reconcile, but ultimately they need to be balanced. Zhao Mai calmed down and thought about the original purpose of coming here. Take Tyrion away from here, and after that, will you have to **** him to replace Bolong’s work, protect him in battle, and then accompany him to King’s Landing. Tyrion becomes the acting king’s hand, and he becomes the leader of the city guard?
But this completely goes against the original intention of improving oneself! And what if you intervene too much and cause a major change in the incident? It is impossible for oneself to stand by and watch, it will only sink deeper and deeper. And, can you guarantee that the changes you make are good? Tyrion is playing a game of power. In this regard, he will only follow the information and the plot. Once he leaves the plot, I am afraid it will only be self-defeating. If it were an ordinary person, Zhao Mai would think it didn’t matter, but he didn’t want to take this risk with Tyrion. If it is said that in the whole continent of Westeros, he most wants to meet and be friends, Tyrion is definitely in the top three.
Zhao Mai closed his eyes, and was very firm when he opened them again He hadn’t spoken yet, Tyrion had already understood the answer from his expression, so he sighed and said, “I know. ”
“I don’t like this feeling, the feeling of being restrained and not free. Even with magic, there is still too much gap between being truly free.” Zhao Mai said to him: “I never thought I would To truly reject you, I didn’t think about this issue along the way. But now I find that you have your own way, and I also have your own way.”
“What kind of reason is this?” Tyrion was taken aback for a moment. He has been rejected for various reasons, such as ugliness, short, such as he is a Lannister, but what is the reason Mike gave? This is almost the most nonsense and perfunctory reason he has ever heard. But Tyrion concealed his disappointment well and walked away quietly.
Maybe it’s time to consider other possibilities, such as Bolong.
Tyrion took two steps with his head down, then raised his head again. Even looking at his back, Zhao Mai knew that this little dwarf had survived again. Before, now, and in the future, he will continue to encounter unfair things to him, but it will still emit a convincing light. In this regard, Zhao Mai believes that he needs to learn from him.
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly. (To be continued.)
