Wildfire is a special type of flame made by alchemists, a flame that is difficult to extinguish once lit, and can penetrate clothing, wood, leather, steel, and even float on water.

In the recent history of Westeros, wildfires have played a significant role - the former mad king Aerys was obsessed with wildfires and loved to burn people with wildfires. Aegon the Commonwealth that Lan Li had used not long ago had also created a wildfire-spewing war machine to attack Dorne, only to explode as soon as it was transported to the Royal Forest, burning a large chunk of the forest.

More than fifty years ago, an heir to the Targaryen throne frantically drank a jar of wildfire, believing that he could become a dragon.

The results speak for themselves.

It can be said that the existence of this flame has always affected the Targaryens and even changed their fate. In addition, Lan Li also remembered that the future Queen Cersei in that drama used wildfire to blow up the Cathedral of St. Belle in King's Landing, which was super powerful.

Of course, this is a very nonsense thing, after reading the real history of the Westeros continent and understanding the situation in various parts of the Seven Kingdoms, Lan Li feels that this kind of thing is impossible to happen, or even if it happens, it will inevitably affect the situation of the entire continent, rather than just not having it after the bombing.

All in all, he knows a lot about wildfires.

The flames were so lethal that the slightest spark or even a little warmer could cause them to ignite and explode, but the torches of the guards were even attached to the surface of the jar containing the wildfire......

The closest crisis to real death happened so quietly, which made Lan Li's heart palpitate. Although he had died several times, he hadn't lived enough, and he felt that his current body might not survive if he died.

He hurriedly led the guards out of the cellar passage, and then hurriedly descended the hills and sat back into the carriage, until the carriage was out of the range of the Rhaenys Hills and into the wider road, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and then made a decision.

The wildfire must be reported, otherwise an explosion may ignite the entire King's Landing one day.

And then the words......

Touching something in his arms, Lan Li secretly wondered if he was going to use it tonight.

……

"No one can guarantee whether this is right or not, Your Majesty, but I think you'd better think carefully."

"I've thought about it, Jon, Duke Mace was nervous about being the guardian of Stannis in the stormlands, and he wanted me to trust him, and I wanted him to be worthy of my trust, so I agreed to him."

"If he wants you to trust him, then why doesn't he send his son to you as an attendant? Even if he is reluctant to have his heir, he still has a second son, or even a younger son. ”

"Hasn't this already been asked? Jon, I insisted on taking hostages, and you have to say you can't go too far. As a result, we only had the two idiots of the Redwin family. ”

"We're going to give him hostages now?"

"Hostages? Don't say that, Lan Li is just a bridge to ease relations, and I don't want to send him as a hostage...... Seven Hells, Jon, do you think there is still a rebellion in the Riverlands? If those people still have this kind of mind, wouldn't it be fundamental for me to marry that Cersei—"

……

The conversation in the room was interrupted by a hurried knock on the door, and then a young attendant pushed the door open with King Robert's open mouth to enter, and then hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Duke Lanli has found a wildfire in Long**. ”

The word wildfire made the two stunned, and after glancing at each other, the former Prime Minister Jon. Erin immediately asked, "How many?" ”

"About three hundred cans." The attendant replied.

When the Prime Minister heard this, he said to Robert, "Your Majesty, we should immediately send someone to cordon off the Rhaenys Hill, and then go and call for the help of those pyromancers to clean up those things." ”

King Robert nodded solemnly, and the Prime Minister hurried out of the room to give orders.

This matter can be big or small, in ordinary times, if you find a bunch of wildfires, it would be good to send some people to deal with them, but at this moment, King's Landing City is full of nobles from all over the Seven Kingdoms, in case there is an accident, then it will be a lot of fun, and the two of them can't afford not to pay attention to it.

……

Rhaenys Hills had been cordoned off all morning, and the contents had been basically cleaned up, but the discussion about this matter did not stop, and even deepened.

Why does the long-abandoned dragon ** hide a wildfire?

This question was put on the agenda of the king's council.

The wildfire alone is not really a big deal, but the problem is that some soldiers reported that from the traces of the cellar where the wildfire was hidden, it was not hidden by a king in history, but not long ago, and this discovery immediately attracted the attention of the imperial ministers.

What happened not so long ago?

Anyone in King's Landing can answer this question—

Naturally, it was the war between Targaryen and Baratheon.

And during the war, a large number of wildfires were buried in the dragon**, what is the purpose?

And who planted these things?

The truth is easily guessed.

"The Mad King Aerys is known to have a great deal of trust in the pyromancers who behave sneakily, and wildfire is the only one they can create."

At the royal conference table, the scholar Paisel raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and said to King Robert tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I think there is more than one wildfire in the city. I mean, if the Mad King had tried to use wildfire against you, then these things should not just be in the Dragon's Lair, they could be all over the city...... God forbid, what a crazy idea. ”

His words were tantamount to nonsense, everyone present thought of this problem, and at the same time felt that this possibility was not small, after all, since the order to bury the wildfire had been issued, it couldn't just be buried in that place, right?

What about the others?

Why didn't there break out?

Was it because it wasn't in time? Or is there still someone lurking in the shadows, ready to ignite that horrible stuff?

All kinds of thoughts made King Robert and the former Prime Minister Jon. Erin's face was gloomy, Barristan, the captain of the Kingsguard, gritted his teeth and clenched the hilt of his sword hanging from his waist, not knowing what he was thinking, while Stannis, the Minister of the Sea, looked at Varys, the chief of intelligence in a pink robe on the other side of the table, his eyes were full of suspicion, making the other party secretly cry bitter.

Regardless of what they thought, the proposal to search the entire King's Landing was quickly implemented, and a succession of wildfire locations were discovered.

Flea Nest, Flour Street, Shoemaker's Square, and even under St. Belle Cathedral......

The various discoveries made the nobles in the city who got the news break out in a cold sweat, feeling that they were completely on top of a volcano that could erupt at any time, and they didn't know anything about it before!

The madness of King Aerys was once again a topic of conversation in King's Landing, and everyone was glad about it.

Then, someone noticed something special.

"I'm not mistaken, the secret passage of the Red Keep was discovered by that kid in the first place?" During the Lannister's family meeting, Duke Tywin's second brother, Kavon. Lannister said thoughtfully, "Why did he run to the Dragon's Lair for no reason?" ”

"It's a question that asks what the kids are thinking all day." The Duke's other younger brother, Gillian. Lannister smiled when he heard this: "Besides, that secret passage was discovered by the two children of the Redwin family, and we have discussed this matter, second brother, have you forgotten?" ”

"It's you who forget." Kaivon glanced at his younger brother: "The first is the secret passage that the kid fell into first, don't ignore that." ”

"So what? What does this prove? A special boy who is good at discovering secrets? Or is he a boy who always gets bad luck? ”

Jillian, with her bright blonde hair, sneered, "You're too sensitive, aren't you?" ”

"Tyrion told me that the kid had invited him to play in the Dragon's Lair." Seeing that the second brother opened his mouth and wanted to say something, the first Duke of Tywin said, "So there is nothing to discuss about this matter." When we have time, we should consider the problem of the Tyrells. ”

His face was gloomy when he said this, and in fact, the Lord Duke of Lannister had not been in a good mood since the day of the King's coronation.

"Tyrrell?" The two younger brothers of the duke looked at each other when they heard this.

"We can't do anything with him now, can we, brother?" Tigate, the last brother who was quite silent, spoke, his face was also unsightly—it was he who had been splashed with dung in the first place, and although he had been hunted down and killed a few people afterwards, he still did not understand his hatred.

"Exactly, I don't have a clue right now."

Duke Tywin said, "But the Lannisters have debts that must be paid. ”

……

Lan Li didn't know what kind of results his trip to the Dragon's Lair would cause, how many things would change in the future, and he didn't know that something he had done before was still not completely over at this time, and even undercurrents were surging.

He didn't have the heart to think about it.

At this moment, Lan Li was thinking about himself, because the next morning after returning from the dragon's lair, he learned one thing-

After the king's wedding, he's going to go to Riverlands with that Duke of Tyrelle!

"The High Court is the most beautiful castle in the Seven Kingdoms, Lan Li, you will definitely like it there, and the climate of the River Bend Land is good, which is also good for your body."

As he spoke, Robert squatted in front of the boy and patted him on the arm, and said solemnly, "When you get there, you give me something to eat!" You're so thin, what will you do if you marry a wife in the future? ”

Lan Li was a little surprised by the news, even though he knew that it was common among the nobility of Westeros to send their children to other families to serve as attendants, and even though someone had invited him two days ago, he was still caught off guard by it.

"Am I going to be a bartender? To that Duke of Metz? He hesitated to ask, a squire could not be a squire until he was a certain age, because a squire career required some knightly training, which was not good at his current age.

"Sommelier?" Robert laughed when he heard this: "You are now a lord, how can you still be a serving bartender?" ”

"So what should I do? Just a guest? ”

"You go and be an adopted son."

King Robert replied, "To Lady Olenna Tyrellle as an adopted son." ”

Lan Li was stunned again when he heard this.

Olenna Tyrell, also known as Olenna Redwin, is the widow of the late Duchess of Riverlands, the mother of the current Duke of Tyrrell, and the grandmother of some of the main characters of the Tyrell family in memory, nicknamed the Queen of Thorns......
