Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 235: Transaction? Alliance?

In the dark sea.

The "Grace of God" cruised at full speed around the periphery of the fleet, with sea monsters trailing behind the warships.

The entire fleet stared nervously at the rapidly shifting light. Danger could only be seen on the map—dark, eerie sea monsters.

The King did not order them to move out. People didn't know whether to be more relieved or worried.

Geoffrey and He were still in conversation.

He finally began to explain the true meaning of the so-called "adventure": "That power you use to create fake 'Proofs of Heroism' is also another kind of 'Proof of Heroism,' isn't it?"

Geoffrey silently acquiesced.

"That's the crux of the matter," He said. "Presumably, you thought this disguise and control could last forever, until the end of your 'followers' lives?"

Geoffrey was startled and immediately realized something.

"That's not the case."

He didn't keep him in suspense. "The power of the 'Proof of Heroism' alone is far from enough to do that."

He asserted with extreme certainty: "Not just me, talented people can gradually merge and resonate with the power, completely taking control of the gift you give. The only difference is the timing."

Geoffrey frowned deeply, unwilling to believe it, but even more afraid to ignore it.

"What counts as talented?" he asked.

He chuckled. "I must say, humans are indeed creatures favored by the world. How many talents has the Creator bestowed upon His beloved creations?"

He suddenly became vague.

Geoffrey insisted on getting a clear answer. "How many exactly?"

As if stimulated by the pressure, his control over information magic suddenly increased at this moment, suppressing the sea monster's domain to within 800 meters!

He still answered: "Roughly speaking, one or two out of ten of your 'followers' will awaken within two or three years. After five years, at least half. After another ten years, I'm afraid there won't be many 'followers' left."

There was a moment of silence.

Thoughts raced through Geoffrey's mind. He really hadn't expected this.

The control of the Mirror Rune actually has such limitations!? People can actually master the power of the mirror image on their own, breaking free from the control of the rune's main body!?

Am I really a wealth-distributing boy? A welfare-giving old man?

If that's really the case.

He understood that in at most five years, the situation would no longer be as much under control as it was now, and the restless power would have the qualifications to subvert the order.

Five years.

Is that enough time?

Five years. He took a deep breath and smiled.

How could it not be enough? In five years, everything will probably be settled! By then, would he still be afraid of suppressing the people below?

Should he therefore stop moving forward? Absolutely not!

In an instant, the sky cleared and the wind was gentle.

The sea monster's domain was suppressed again, leaving only a range of 600 meters.

Did He seem to be in the wrong state?

Geoffrey took the initiative to end the topic. "Thank you for your guidance. I really don't know how to thank you."

He was silent for a moment.

"I really underestimated you," He exclaimed in surprise. "You actually don't care about this matter at all."

Geoffrey didn't respond.

"I haven't finished speaking yet," He took the initiative to bring the topic back. "To solve this difficulty, it's not impossible."

"Oh?" Geoffrey responded lightly, as if he had discovered a breakthrough in the negotiation.

Why was He so concerned about this?

It couldn't just be out of kindness.

He continued, "As I said before, the Proof of Heroism is only the first step, the easiest to achieve, and the most limited. How can you talk about having 'followers'?"

"Only by reaching a higher level!"

"Surpassing heroes, breaking through the shackles and fetters of abilities, and advancing towards the path of gods!"

His words were full of temptation: "As long as you reach a higher level and upgrade the 'Proof of Heroism,' the power contained within will be greatly sublimated! Your 'Grace of God' will have more tentacles and be more solid."

Hmm? Geoffrey noticed a detail in His words.

Tentacles…

Could it be that the number of mirror images is also limited?!

As soon as the thought arose, Geoffrey almost completely believed it. Yes, even the control of the main body is not permanent, so how could the separated mirror images have no limits?

"With the tentacles I already have, it's enough," he said.

He seemed a little anxious, "Who would嫌多呢? Besides, for a king, a mere million is definitely not a lot."

Geoffrey probed the answer, but he was even more puzzled.

How did He know the ability limitations of the Mirror Rune? According to His meaning, He clearly didn't understand the Mirror Rune at all, right?

He asked it.

He proudly replied: "This is the authority of a higher level. The secrets of heroes are nowhere to hide in our eyes. Of course, I didn't intentionally pry."

Without other information channels, Geoffrey could only choose to believe it.

Hero. He pondered silently. Obviously, this is what They call rune owners, which is quite epic.

There's also authority. It sounds more like mythology.

Is this world so prosperous? The extraordinary forces that were originally thought to have declined and died have been hidden in the dark, dormant?

Geoffrey seemed to have seen the framework of the world's truth.

"His" identity is also about to emerge.

The Red Comet hasn't come out yet. At this time, can He also appear at will? The gods in all time periods of the original work are only hidden behind the scenes.

Geoffrey then tentatively strengthened the pressure.

Sure enough, the sea monster's domain shrank to within four or five hundred meters!

Geoffrey was completely sure. The weakening of the sea monster's domain was not because his ability had suddenly increased inexplicably, but because He was letting go of resistance.

Why?

Perhaps it was to show goodwill. But more likely, it was out of necessity.

That is to say.

Time is on his side.

Just wait, He and the sea monster will gradually weaken until they are captured. Naturally, the fleet can also be preserved as a whole.

Geoffrey suddenly felt much better and simply complied with His purpose, "How to go further and break through the level of hero?"

"I can tell you," He said, "as long as you help me with a favor."

That's direct.

Geoffrey smiled knowingly. "Of course, we're friends."

"Friends," He agreed.

Geoffrey used only a little force, and the sea monster's domain shrank to within 300 meters.

"Time is running out," He said anxiously.

"I have engraved all the methods in the soul of the 'Drowned Beast'. Sign the oath, and we will exchange it for equal value," He sent over a mysterious existence.

Oath. Geoffrey understood instantly. The highest oath, which cannot be disguised and cannot be violated.

The content of the oath is quite concise.

He would show him His Proof of Heroism. He would develop believers for Him and cultivate heroes. Each time the number of heroes reaches an upper limit, a part of the method to break through the hero level would be unlocked.

Neither party can attempt to violate the oath in any way.

The cost of violation was not written.

Unfathomable. This, on the contrary, makes people afraid to touch the supreme rules.

"What are you still hesitating about?" He urged: "What a fair deal, we will be close allies. Newcomer, you will need my guidance, absolutely."

Geoffrey smiled lightly. The sea monster's domain was only 200 meters left.

"I have an idea."
