Chapter 126 The Magician

The evening light had dimmed.

The king's bedroom in Maegor Tower was still as bright as noon.

What brought this scene was not the red light of the flames, but the clear white light emitted by the dragon crystal ball embedded in the ceiling.

In the side hall.

The "magician" Dr. Marwin, who was waiting for the king's summons, was staring at the bright dragon crystal ball on the ceiling with his head raised.

Was it magic, or, as King Joffrey called it, divine favor?

How do these dragon crystal balls emit light?Why can the dragon crystal ball near the river gate record information when entering the city?

Is it true or false that the king turned into a giant?Both the light and the flames were seen by Qyburn himself?
Marwyn was lost in thought.

The servants brought tea to the three visitors, and then unanimously observed the strangest visitor, Dr. Marwin who looked up in a daze.

The man in the leather jacket was stocky and stocky, with a large head, thick neck, and broad jaw.Rather than a maester wielding his wits, he looks more like a bully wandering the docks and taverns.

From the outside, only the chain of many metals strung around his neck is worthy of his identity.

This is the bachelor necklace.

Each metal in it represents a certain field of knowledge, which means that the person's attainments in this field have been recognized and proved by the Academy City.

Marwyn was also given a ring, scepter, and mask of Valyrian steel.

This means that the academy recognizes that he is a master in the field of magic and mysticism, and that he has the title of "doctor" and that he can attend the cardinal council, manage the academy, and elect a bachelor.

Even so, Dr. Marwin's life in the Academy City was not comfortable.

Marwyn knew why.

The Academy has always hated or even been hostile to witchcraft, prophecy and magic, and is committed to building a world that pursues knowledge and has no mysterious power.

Because of this, other doctors are extremely repulsed by him who is obsessed with magic and mysterious knowledge. Dr. "Sour Vinegar" Verin also sarcastically nicknamed him "Marwin the Magician".

Marwyn readily accepted this.

For him who believed in and recognized the power of magic, the title of magician was not an insult, but a blessing and a compliment.

Magic, this is also the purpose and motivation of his long journey.

A lot was mentioned in the letter from Cobain.The prophecy of the Asshai, Targaryen, King Joffrey's coronation, fire and light, divine favor, light curtains that can transmit messages in an instant, research department.

Most people would only regard these contents as nonsense, but Marvin was willing to believe them.

He knows Cobain.

Cobain, like himself, was one of those people who could face the truth and crave it.It's just that Cobain is too obsessed, so that he is not accepted by the world, let alone those sheep in gray clothes in the city.

He believed that Qyburn would not joke about such a thing, and there were a few words from King's Landing to prove it.

Compared with the eight years of long, dangerous and fruitless exploration across the Narrow Sea, the invitation of Qyburn and King Joffrey is undoubtedly worth a try.

This is an uncertain coin.

Face it up, and dreams come true.Turning tails up, it takes a little time, and there may be unknown dangers.

Marwyn decided to toss the coin.

The coins are far away in King's Landing.

To be able to get the coins, the first difficulty is leaving the Citadel and Oldtown.

Those doctors in the Academy City are sheep in gray clothes, they only know how to poison, argue and trick. Marvin is not worried about the obstruction of the Academy City.

But now is war time.

Except for Lord Redwyne, whose two sons were detained in King's Landing, all the lords in the Reach were loyal to King Renly, including the Hightowers in Oldtown.

The movement of a doctor is enough to attract the attention of Hightower and other families.

If you go north to King's Landing from the land, you may be intercepted if you can't get out of the Rose Avenue, and there are countless unreasonable soldiers along the way.

Marwyn wisely chose the sea route.

In the name of exploring the free trade city of Pentos, it is a reasonable plan to take a boat southward around Dorne, and then sail northward along the east coast to King's Landing.

Sadly, only a few galley merchant ships make their way to King's Landing from Oldtown's harbour.

A large number of oarsmen in a rowing boat can make the boat more flexible, but it also makes it necessary to stop at the shore frequently to replenish supplies such as food and fresh water.

Dorne and the Stormlands along the way were not friendly to King Joffrey in King's Landing.Although the purpose of the trip has been obscured, the risk increases with each mooring of the ship.

To be on the safe side, Marwin brought along two assistant bachelors with special identities who were keen on adventure and magic.

Laresa, who is half of Dorn's blood, coped with Dorn's inspection.

Leo Tyrell, of House Tyrell, was well received in every port of the Stormlands.

The journey was smooth.

To Marwin's further satisfaction, the flipped coin came up heads.

Cobain wasn't lying, at least not all of it.

King's Landing is indeed rife with mystical powers.Favor, magic, whatever it is called, in short, years of searching finally came to fruition.

Marwyn wished he could immediately devote himself to the study of this power and get a glimpse of the reality of the world.

The sheep in Xuecheng still want to destroy magic?
wishful thinking!

The bachelor's knowledge may interfere with the survival and reproduction of the dragon, but it cannot affect the world at all. The world has always been what it is, with magic, mystery and mortals coexisting.

After seeing the changes in King's Landing, Marwyn became more certain of his thoughts.

The magic has returned?No, it never went away.

Marwyn finally moved his eyes away from the dragon crystal ball, and looked straight into the depths of the bedroom, as if he saw King Joffrey there.

When will you be summoned?
He couldn't wait any longer. He just wanted to make an agreement with the king tonight. It didn't matter what the conditions were, as long as he didn't delay the communication with Cobain tomorrow.

After a long time, a young girl finally walked into the side hall, "Your Majesty summons you three together."

Marwyn got up immediately, took two steps, and then turned around to greet the two assistant bachelors, "Your Majesty has summoned you, come quickly."

Laresa jumped up briskly.

Leo Tyrell stretched and stood up slowly.

……

"See Your Majesty."

The three stood in the center of the hall and saluted together.

The king sat on the deepest throne, and the girl who led the way and another girl with silver hair and purple eyes served beside him.

Marwyn looked to the left, and the grey-haired Qyburn was smiling at him. He was getting old.

Joffrey looked at the two boys around Marwyn.

The blond boy on the left is dressed in green and gold and looks a bit like Loras.Assistant Maester "Lazy" Leo Tyrell.

The boy on the right has curly black hair and light brown skin, is slim and delicate, has lively eyes, and is wearing green tight armor.Assistant Maester "Sphinx" Laresa.

Laresa, half Dornish.

Thinking of the theoretical conjectures in the original book, Joffrey mobilized his mind, and saw that she was really a girl under the clothes.

interesting.

Laresa shuddered, as if she felt something.
