Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 192
Cortnay Penrose stood at the head of the city as yesterday.

He wore no helmet, no sword.

He wore copper-plated armor, and his coat of arms on a brown-yellow background was painted with two crossed white quills and the family motto-"The contract is a witness."

On his left shoulder is the silver and white cloak of the six-pointed star.

The contract is proof.Cortanay Penrose looked at the looming dust and smoke outside the city, and prayed silently.

I hope he keeps his promise.

For something unspeakable, Cortnay Penrose had risked everything, Joffrey's integrity.

For Lord Renly?For Edric?
Cortnay Penrose took a deep breath, and the salty, war-like wind rushed into his chest.

There was a rumbling sound in the air, and the stone slab under his feet seemed to be shaking constantly.Is it the waves, or is it because of the charging cavalry?
Probably both.

He looked left and right, and saw hundreds of cannons standing between the battlements. With just one command, they could explode with more violent vibrations, stronger than the waves and cavalry.

King Joffrey said he would not come up and use these guns.In any case, the living are more valuable than the dead, as long as you obey.

Cortnay Penrose knew it was true.

The fall of Storm's End was peaceful.Except for the initial impact of the artillery and the chaos when the city was broken, most of the people in the city survived.

There are very few disobedient people.

Those who survived soon became loyal subjects of King Joffrey, who dared not complain, let alone make trouble.Especially with weird creations like "God's Grace" as insurance.

Divine grace.

Just one night.It was only one night that Cortanay Penrose was bestowed with the light curtain of divine grace, but he had already fully understood his situation.

This is another world, a new world.

He saw countless rare books and valuable knowledge.

He saw the entire history of Westeros, from the Age of Dawn and the Age of Heroes ten thousand years ago to the more detailed modern times, from the fallen children of the forest and the ancestors to the still active Andals, Rhoynar, Va Relians, savages.

Familiar or unfamiliar names, bright or dark stories, are shocking and intoxicating.

however.

Cortanay Penrose was not ignorant of history.Some records in the light curtain were originally controversial or vague, without much evidence.There are also some records that have never been heard.

That's it?

He was keenly aware of the horror of these records in the light curtain.

Only one day later, grooms, servants, maids, children, everyone in Storm's End could learn words in the light curtain of divine grace, and see the history he saw.

Most of them are still illiterate, and they have nothing to learn about the exclusive knowledge of these nobles, just like a blank sheet of paper.

But now, the light curtain of divine grace can draw freely on these white papers.

This is just the beginning.

It is conceivable that after successive victories, in a few years or more, the entire Seven Kingdoms will be enveloped by divine grace.

At that time, what is real?Is it history?

When and who did the prominent nobility originate from?

Did the extinct family really exist?Are the children and heroes of the forest just fiction?

The ancestors and the Andals conquered each other?
Are the Rhoynar friends, enemies, or do they not exist at all?
All in the king's mind.

Cortanay Penrose could not help but feel chills at the thought of this powerless and terrifying future.

And this is not entirely unfounded speculation.

For each family, there is very detailed information in the light curtain.

From every existing member, the castles, villages and towns and every inch of land they belong to, to the titles, honors and industries owned, everything is meticulous.

Except for one thing - ancient origins.

Through the light curtain, people can know that each family is glamorous, rich and powerful, but they don't know why the nobles got such an enviable status.

Yes, the people passed on many legends and stories by word of mouth, and they also knew all about the glorious deeds of their lords in the past.But after all, most people know very little about most nobles.

Once they were ignorant and incapable of expressing dissatisfaction.But grace makes up for both of these deficiencies at the same time.

Cortanay Penrose already knew that the [-] guards around the king were not all. There were tens of thousands of "jihadists" with the same ability, and it was far from the limit.

Undoubtedly, most of these people came from humble backgrounds, and as long as the king ordered them, they would be happy to destroy any noble family that had been passed down for thousands of years.

Will the king order it?

Cortanay Penrose also saw a new term - "consul".

At first glance.

It seems to be quite different from acting city lord like him, but in fact it is very different.

The acting city lords each serve their own lords, while the appointment and dismissal of consuls depends entirely on the king's will, and they will only serve the king.

Huge change!
And not just hypothetical, Cortanay Penrose has seen real change.

The Consul of Rain House City-Sir Gerry Wilder.Note: The new Earl of Rain House City - Richard Wilde
Cortanay Penrose felt extremely heavy when he saw this description.

He seemed to have foreseen the future of the Penrose family.A young earl, an ambitious consul of collateral descent.Who is the owner of the paper town?

What surprised him even more was that he could actually see the video of the "Battle of Rain House City".

It didn't look like a war at all, more feeble than the fall of Storm's End.The entire castle was submerged by the shells of the "ship gun" and turned into ruins.

Cortanay Penrose was right in his guess.Artillery is more suitable for battleships.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, cliffs and coasts have been the natural walls of various castles.But in front of King Joffrey's fleet, this solid wall has been dissipated by the wind, and it has become the most vulnerable and fatal part.

Just send a fleet along the coast, and any castle can be easily conquered.

This is true.

Greenstone, Weeping Town, Stonehelm, Amber City, Griffin's Roost...

Cortnay Penrose consulted the battle records in the light curtain, and finally understood King Joffrey's strategy.

It is indeed arrogant, but it has sufficient confidence.

Cape Wrath and the Borderlands have been completely taken, and the entire southern part of Stormlands has changed hands.

Highgarden became the next target.Loras Tyrell has been named Archon of Highgarden, and the route of advance is clear.

Can Gao Ting successfully defend it?
Cortnay Penrose dared not dream so.The only difference is whether to give up resistance at the beginning, or to surrender after the defense is frustrated.

The result is doomed.

Highgarden has switched sides. The north has always been the enemy, and the guards in the south of the Stormlands are watching.

Who surrounded whom?
Cortanay Penrose's eyes were heavy, hesitating as he watched the countless cavalry outside the city stop.He sighed deeply in his heart.

The contract is proof.
