King Robert shook off the ice slag on his hand and laughed, "You have some skills, but this is all you can do? An ice flower? Well, show me the real Magic."

Gary walked back to the middle of the high platform and declined. "Your Grace, the Mana that completes Magic is very precious energy. What's more, Magic is not a magic trick and is not for viewing."

King Robert took the new wine glass handed over by the servant and said with a smile, "It's just an ice flower. How can you prove that what you just showed is the real Magic and not a trick prepared in advance?"

Gary's tone relaxed a little, "Your Grace Want to see a large area of Ice Magic? I just studied Magic not long ago, and I'm not proficient yet. I'm afraid such a big scene will cost some money..."

Robert is also a human spirit. He knew what Gary meant, so he asked, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Gary has already thought about it, "I hope Your Grace can give me a voucher so that I can freely enter and exit Citadel of Oldtown."

"Credentials? You mean a letter of recommendation? Well, if you can prove your identity as Wizard today, I will write this letter of recommendation for you."

King Robert thought that Gary would ask for a title or something more precious, but he did not expect that it was just a letter of recommendation to become a bachelor.

Gary leaned the Ice in his hand on the wooden stake nearby, freed his hands and asked, "What does Your Grace want to see?"

Robert shook his big belly, sat back in his seat, and asked, "What do you want to see? I want to see snow in summer, can you do it?"

Gary hesitated to speak and cursed in his heart, "Your Grace, changing the weather is a miracle that only gods can do, and it does not belong to the category of Magic."

Robert drank a drink in disappointment, "Then make a bigger ice cube so that everyone present can see it."

The Ice Rose just now was too small, so only the nobles nearby could see it, while the civilians watching from a distance didn't know what was going on.

Moreover, Robert was also wondering whether the ice flower was a prop hidden by Gary in advance. As for the broken wine glass and the reverse flow of wine, he selectively forgot about it.

Gary nodded, "Yes, but I can't make ice out of thin air, and I need a lot of water."

Robert waved his hand, "Didn't you hear that? Come bring water!"

The servants on standby immediately took action. They carried several empty wine barrels and ran quickly to the creek in the woods.

In less than half an hour, five wine barrels filled with river water were placed under the high platform.

Gary jumped off the high platform and slowly came to five large barrels with a light aroma of wine. He was still thinking about what kind of ice creation he should create.

You cannot shape a weapon, as that would be too intimidating and easily arouse the fear of others. You cannot also shape a powerful instant blast Magic, the reason is the same.

Wizard's identity is too high-profile, so Gary can only try his best to keep a low profile.

He looked at Robert's "majestic appearance" drinking, and suddenly thought of a good idea. "Well, let's build a big ice sculpture for King Your Grace."

Gary took off the heavy Plate Armor on his body and threw it on the ground casually.

Wrapped in his underwear, he came to the first bucket of water and slowly inserted his left hand wearing a leather glove into the water.

"Bo!"

A stream of white Water Flow flew straight out of Water Bucket. Amid everyone's exclamations, it quickly landed and turned into a thigh of ice and snow.

Some people were moved to tears. "It's Magic! He is really a Wizard!"

There are those who are afraid of retaliation. "Seven, please protect me from Wizard."

Someone who is incoherent. "This... demon, Magic? Really exists... I..."

More believers appeared. "This Lord Wizard must be the apostle of Ice God, he is here to save us!"

Ice God? Where did it come from? Made it up on the spot, right?

Gary didn't hear these nonsense, he was concentrating on shaping the ice statue.

With his hard work, Ice Man's legs slowly began to look like boots and trouser legs. However, because the ice statue he wanted to create was so large and the river water was used up very quickly, it took a whole bucket of water to create just one thigh.

The nobles in the stands were also whispering in groups, as if they had seen a ghost.

There was only a beautiful Maiden wearing a garland on her head, holding on to the wooden railing and staring intently at Gary below.

Oh, by the way, there is also Dwarf, I almost forgot about him.

Tyrion walked up to Maiden and suddenly asked, "Miss Margaery from House Tyrell?"

Margaery knew him and said without looking back, "Lannister's the Imp, what's the matter?"

"I heard that you came to King's Landing with Lord Renly to replace Cersei and become Your Grace's new Queen?" Tyrion whispered in a low voice, which was really shocking.

A trace of panic flashed in Margaery's eyes, but she quickly calmed down. "It's just some baseless rumors. Lannister also believes it?"

Tyrion shrugged his shoulders, "I actually think you are much better than Cersei, but you are a little older than Your Grace. Well, if Your Grace likes you, it's not a big problem."

Margaery was traveling far away for the first time, so she didn't know much about Lannister siblings. She thought Tyrion was still testing, so she smiled and said, "Sir Tyrion has misunderstood, House Tyrell has no such idea."

Just kidding, even if House Tyrell has this idea, he can't say it openly. Especially, the other party is Lannister.

Tyrion looked down at Gary who was shaping an ice statue, "Miss Margaery, don't pull the shield randomly, Wizard's anger is also very scary."

After speaking, he raised the wine glass in his hand, turned and left.

Margaery bit her lip, and she turned to look at the white-haired boy in the audience. Maybe at first, the boy was a shield for her not to marry Robert, but now... it's different.

A Wizard can also bring huge benefits to House Tyrell.

Within the venue.

Gary I quickly finished the five buckets of water, and the huge ice statue stopped in my stomach, and my upper body was still there. Well, my belly was too big, so it was really a waste of ice.

"A bunch of idiots, didn't you see that Stark is out of water? Go get water quickly! Lazy fools!"

Robert stood on the high platform, waiting for the completion of the ice statue together with the Royal House members. He saw that the servants below the stage were all stunned and did not know how to act, so he couldn't help but yelled.

The servants woke up from a dream and hurriedly took action. They brought more wine barrels and transported the river water to Gary one barrel after another.

With their help, Gary carefully mobilized more Mana and began to work on the upper body of the ice statue.

The upper body is far more delicate than the lower body. Not only are there more details on the clothes, but they also create a vivid face.

In short, the workload has doubled.

More than an hour passed, and it was already time for Sun to go down the mountain. Under the shining of the setting sun, the ice statue was finally completed.

A huge ice statue of the king reflects the sun and is dazzling. It is holding a wine glass high and smiling kindly at everyone.

Such an ingenious ice creation made the onlookers dumbfounded.

Gary pinched his sore left hand and saluted the king on the stage. "Your Grace, I wonder if you are satisfied with this ice statue?"

Robert praised a few words and then asked, "How long can this ice statue be preserved?"

When Gary heard this, he could only quietly put his left hand on the ice statue and enter a little Mana. "In this kind of weather, it can last for three days."

King's Landing is located in the middle of Westeros, which is much warmer than Winterfell in the north.

"Okay! Where is the City Guard? Transport this ice statue back to King's Landing quickly! Place it in the Shoemaker's Square in the center of King's Landing for the whole city to watch."

Robert is obviously building momentum for Gary. Is this a good thing? No, this is declaring sovereignty to other families: this Ice Wizard belongs to Royal House.

The Gold Cloakss (City Watch) quickly lined up and surrounded the huge ice statue.

Gary didn't want to worry about how they transported the ice statue back to King's Landing. He went on stage to retrieve Ice, and asked Robert for a letter of recommendation, "Your Grace, what letter of recommendation did you agree on?"

Robert looked at the increasingly darkening sky and said, "It's getting late. Please follow me back to Red Keep. I'll write to you tomorrow."

Going to Red Keep to spend the night? It's better not to go there.

Gary declined the king's kindness, "Your Grace, House Stark still have people in the city, and they are expected to leave King's Landing soon. I want to go see them to catch up with old times, so I won't go Red Keep tonight."

Robert expressed his understanding. Because of his close friend Eddard, he has a very good impression of House Stark people. "Go ahead and remember to come to Red Keep tomorrow to get a letter of recommendation from me."

"Yes."

Gary blinked at Arya, and the two held hands and quickly left the high platform of Royal House.

The two princes and Princess Myrcella on the stage were very frustrated. They originally wanted to talk to Wizard to discuss whether they could also follow Wizard to learn Magic. But the child's face was still a bit thin, and while hesitating, Wizard had already left.
