The Red Castle, located on the high hill of AEGON in King''s landing, the capital of the seven kingdoms, is not only a solid fortification, but also the location of the royal palace.


    Many people who don''t know the truth always believe that such politically significant and landmark buildings should be located in the center of the city.


    But on the contrary, the red fort is not only not in the center of Junlin City, but built in an insignificant corner. To be exact, it can not even be regarded as in the city, but stands alone on the cliffs close to the moat and is closely connected with the majestic city wall.


    Standing at the top of the Red Castle, you can overlook the port below, as well as the densely populated residential areas, markets and squares in the city, especially those busy civilians like ants, which often bring an incomparable sense of satisfaction and achievement to the owner of the castle.


    It is said that after it was built, the tangaryan family slaughtered all the workers and masons involved in construction and shooting in order to ensure that the internal secrets would not be known by the outside world. Now no one knows what is hidden in the intricate underground secret roads.


    At the moment, Zhang Cheng stood on the balcony of the king''s bedroom, looked down at this backward city mixed with medieval and Renaissance styles, and asked without looking back: "Your Majesty, you just said you had a gift for me?"


    "Hahaha! That''s right! But this gift is a little special. I didn''t put it in my room. Please wait a minute, and I''ll have it brought up." then Geoffrey winked at the guard at the door.


    Without saying a word, the latter immediately turned and left the room. For about seven or eight minutes, he dragged a little guy less than one meter three tall with deep chestnut skin and big ears into the room.


    Although she has been imprisoned in the dungeon for a long time, her body emits an unpleasant smell, her golden eyes and three strange fingers all prove that she is not human in the ordinary sense.


    "Oh? A living son of the forest?! your gift really gave me a big surprise." Zhang Cheng recognized each other''s race almost instantly, and his eyes released a chilling desire for research.


    There is no doubt that a living son of the forest can help him solve countless questions and problems.


    For example, what are ghosts and what are the principles of their frost spells?


    For another example, what are the deformation spells and mind control spells used by the son of the forest?


    To know that there are only two magic civilizations in the whole world of the song of ice and fire, one of which is the valerian civilization. At present, he has obtained the corresponding knowledge and principles. The next thing to do is to slowly learn and understand until he digests the city''s own things.


    As for the other, of course, it is the strange civilization created by the son of the forest.


    Perhaps the magic system mastered by these little people is far less destructive and destructive than the Valerians, but it is more flexible and changeable, which is very similar to the Druids of Azeroth.


    Zhang Cheng wants to take this opportunity to uncover the mystery of energy attributes.


    According to the definition given by Dalaran, the Magic Kingdom, according to the form of energy existence and unique characteristics, it can be divided into the following categories: pure and flawless positive energy, also known as sacred energy; The natural energy emitted by life itself; Arcane energy with changeable and strong plasticity; Shadow energy from distorted space-time; The negative energy born from pain and death is also called death energy; The last is the terror evil power used by the dark Titan Sargeras and his burning legion.


    Obviously, in Azeroth, there is no necessary connection between these energies. Even except for a few lucky ones, most casters can''t accept the second after accepting one of them for a lifetime.


    But in the world of the song of ice and fire, this understanding of the boundary between energy and energy has been completely broken.


    With the knowledge gained from the dragon and the energy brought by the red comet, the warelians created a unique flame magic, while the son of the forest created a natural magic like a druid with the same energy. The northern ghosts used frost spells that outsiders could not understand, The loinas, who once posed a great threat to Valeria, developed water magic that was enough to resist the Dragon flame.


    Zhang Cheng wants to find out whether the energy essence of the two worlds is different, or whether Dalaran''s mages are limited by their inherent thinking and are not aware of a hidden transformation between energy and energy.


    If he can find this way of transformation, he will not only greatly enhance his strength, but also contact some more essential things of magic.


    Geoffrey, unaware of the other party''s passionate desire for knowledge and power, pointed to the son of the forest lying on the ground and said: "I''m glad you like this little gift. You know, in order to catch it, I lost six well-trained hounds and 14 experienced guards. Please be careful. It will turn into fierce beasts such as wolves, bears and tigers, and can also control plants such as vines to trip opponents."


    "Hehe, don''t worry. His weak magic can''t play any role in front of me." Zhang Cheng said as he came to the captured son of the forest and asked with a smile: "tell me your name, little guy, I think you should have a name, right?"


    "Dead wood, my name is dead wood..." the son of the forest gave the answer in a way similar to singing.


    His voice was so sweet that a short sentence made everyone in the house have a kind of pleasure and joy.


    Zhang Cheng nodded gently, "OK, dead wood. Tell me, why did you get caught, your people?"


    The son of the forest, who claimed to be a dead wood, first glanced down at the chain in his hand with disgust, then looked at the proud Geoffrey, and finally slowly opened his mouth and replied: "All my people are dead. I am the last survivor of the ethnic group. The reason why I appear in your human world is to send a warning to you in accordance with the ancient covenant. The enemies from the extreme cold of the north have returned. They will soon bring despair and death to the world together with the cold winter."


    There is no doubt that 100% of the enemies he refers to are strange ghosts outside the Great Wall.


    "How do you know?" Zhang Cheng asked, staring into each other''s eyes with interest.


    "Dream, I foresee everything in the dream. Let me go, human beings, I still need to pass this terrible news to more people." withered wood obviously has no experience in dealing with the world, and doesn''t understand how miserable his future will be.
