After listening to Qyburn's report, Lynd was not entirely convinced, so he asked Qyburn to take him to see it.
Soon, Qyburn led Lynd outside his laboratory and showed him the lava Undead Warrior he had just obtained from his experiments.
Looking at the Undead Warrior in front of him, whose body was covered in charred skin and whose heart was like lava, Lynd couldn't help but think of a certain weak third-generation Hokage.
"Demonstrate his combat," Lynd ordered while letting his mind wander.
Qyburn immediately had people equip the Undead Warrior with weapons and brought in other Undead Warriors as his opponents.
The result was just as Qyburn had said. This lava Undead Warrior didn't have much improvement in terms of combat ability alone, but every attack he made erupted with flames, and the flames would adhere to his weapons and armor, giving him an extra layer of fire enchantment. This didn't show its power when fighting other Undead Warriors, but if placed in an army of wights, they would have a strong restraining effect on those wights. As Qyburn said, it was the perfect weapon for dealing with White Walkers.
Lynd then asked a key question: "Is this lava Undead Warrior an occasional exception, or is there a complete and safe method for mass production?"
Qyburn thought about it carefully and said: "Two Undead Warriors have already completed the parasitic modification, and the method used was the same. It should be mass-producible."
"Should?" Lynd heard the implication in Qyburn's words and asked: "What is the success rate?"
"Currently, it can achieve about one in ten." Qyburn lowered his head slightly and said.
"So low?" Lynd looked at Qyburn, then at Malora, and said: "Continue the experiments until the success rate reaches fifty percent."
"The experimental materials are not enough." Qyburn said again.
Lynd frowned and said: "I remember I sent you a batch not long ago?"
Qyburn said with an awkward expression: "When the Red Comet appeared, the magic potion used had an abnormality, and all the test subjects were poisoned to death."
Lynd couldn't help but rub his forehead and said: "Then keep waiting. The next batch of test subjects will only arrive in a month."
Malora suggested from the side: "Actually, there are quite a few heartless guys in the ongoing war in the Riverlands. We could actually..."
Lynd looked at Malora and said: "I have already said that I will not intervene in the civil war of the Seven Kingdoms. If I send people to the Riverlands to capture people now, it would be equivalent to breaking my oath."
Seeing that Lynd had made his decision, Malora did not try to persuade him further and could only shrug at Qyburn.
After leaving Qyburn's laboratory, Lynd went to several other relatively important laboratories to understand the situation. When he returned to the castle, Jon, Bert, and Moose were already waiting in the castle.
"What's wrong? You three all appeared with such serious faces. Did something big happen?" Lynd looked at the three of them and asked curiously.
Jon handed the information in his hand to Lynd and said: "Something big did happen, but it's not on our side; it's over on the continent of Essos."
Lynd took it and looked, but his face did not show too much surprise.
This intelligence report came from Slavers Bay and recorded what happened on the day the Red Comet appeared. At the wedding banquet of Drogo and Daenerys, assassins took advantage of everyone celebrating the wedding to block the tent doors and set the tent on fire with Wildfire, burning everyone inside to death. Only the Unburnt Daenerys survived, and she successfully hatched the three Dragon Eggs gifted to her by the Red Temple, while also gaining the allegiance of the Golden Company and the Dothraki.
The report did not mention who the murderer was. There were many speculations, and among them was surprisingly Lynd himself, because it was not rare for Lynd to use Wildfire in war, and in this world, only he could obtain stable Wildfire.
However, after seeing the assassination process, Lynd already knew who had planned everything.
The person who planned this assassination must have been Robert Baratheon, who had already died in the assassination, because only he had once bought two Wildfire bombs from Lynd, and Lynd had only sold these two Wildfire bombs externally.
Therefore, the speculation in the report that the assassination was related to him was not exactly wronging him.
Three lives in exchange for three dragons; Lynd once again felt a force named destiny slap him in the face.
Seeing that Lynd had finished reading the information, Moose immediately asked: "My Lord, Daenerys Targaryen actually possesses three dragons, and she has also gained the allegiance of the Golden Company and Drogo's khalasar. Do we need to do something?"
"Do what?" Lynd asked back.
Bert suggested: "While Daenerys's young dragons haven't grown up yet..."
