"If you don't have the habit of waking up late, Lord Lanli, a servant will come and knock on the door before breakfast and take you to the dining room."

……

After the welcome banquet, the heir of the High Court, the next Duke of Riverlands, Villas. Tyrell personally sent Blue Gift to the castle where he had been arranged.

Walking in the quiet white corridor, the young man with brown hair with ear-length ears said to the black-haired boy beside him: "After breakfast, it is the teaching time of Master Lomis, and you have already seen Master Lomis at the banquet, so I will not introduce it much. For now, he will be teaching me and Garland in two sessions, Garland is still learning to read, and I have a slight hobby of stargazing, if you like it, Lord Lanli, you can join me. Of course, it's best to plan at your current academic pace, and maybe we can consult with you tomorrow morning. ”

"Just call me Lan Li, don't be so polite." Lan Li spoke.

"You are the adopted son of my grandmother and the Duke of Dragonstone, I can't be so rude." The other replied, and then said with a little jokingness, "Unless you want me to call you uncle?" ”

Lan Li smiled when he heard this, and the other party continued to speak when he saw this.

"I'm going to have to learn etiquette with my mother for some time before noon, and I think you'll be with me. In the afternoon, my father will meet with the lords from all over the river bend who have come to ask for instructions, and will also deal with some civilian affairs in our family territory, and I will always be by his side during this time, and if you are interested, you can also join us, do not shy away from it, my father has told me this. ”

The young man spoke softly, his eyes were soft, and he looked very hospitable, he was dressed in a brown leather coat that was common among nobles, and he looked like a knight's squire except for the golden rose embroidered on his chest.

According to Lan Li's understanding during the banquet, he is indeed a knight apprentice, and he is currently learning the way of knighthood from the head of the High Court.

"I'll be practicing riding and spearmanship all the time in the afternoon, and I'm sorry you can't join me, Lord Lanli, you're not old yet. However, you may be able to practice with my brother Garland, of course, provided that your body can withstand a certain level of training, and if you are interested, we can test it tomorrow. ”

Lan Li nodded when he heard this, but didn't say anything, and the other party continued to tell some of Gao Ting's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and with the words, the golden thread rose on his chest slowly bloomed in Lan Li's sight, like a book moving with the wind.

Finally, when he arrived at the door of the residence, the polite brown-haired boy bowed to the boy.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Lanli, and welcome to the High Court."

Lan Li returned the salute, and then touched his chin as he watched the other party's departing back.

He felt that this Villas was much more interesting than his father, and he was already quite mature and steady at a young age, and his attitude was sincere and friendly, and he did not have the pampered and arrogant feelings of the children of great nobles.

"It's just a little too polite."

Thinking about it, he looked back at the room he had been assigned to.

The room was much larger than his small room in the king's time, but it did not lose its sense of sophistication, and as far as the eye could see, the milky marble floor reflected a hazy glow in the light of the candlestick, and the floor was covered with a new green mil carpet, neat and square, without a trace of dust.

The boy standing in the doorway looked to the left of his body, and the carved wooden door of the bathroom came into view, not unlike when he was in the Red Fort.

In addition, the reading desk, bedside table, fireplace, bookcase, exquisite silver-plated round mirror, wardrobe, and even wine cabinet, glance at a glance, all kinds of furniture in the room are readily available, the bed placed in the depths of the room is not too big, but it is enough to sleep him, the surface of the bed is covered by silver silk, the bottom is padded with goose feather mattress, and the light blue curtain envelops the whole bed, which looks elegant and clean.

Everything you see is exquisite, the only pity is that the glass windows here are not as large as the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony of the Red Fort, although they are not small, but they look like an oval mirror, because the glass is not pure, and the moonlight outside penetrates and shines on the milky white surface, which looks hazy and trance.

At the top of a tall white tower, the room opened the window and looked out to see a vast field beyond the huge castle, now covered in a silent starry sky, where fields of roses swayed in the night breeze.

It is said that the fields to the east of the High Court are covered with golden roses like the coat of arms of the Tyrell family, and tonight the light is dim and it is impossible to see it, but Lan Li is looking forward to what kind of beautiful scenery he will see when the sun slowly blooms from the east.

All in all, he was happy with everything he had so far, both the people and the environment.

"If this thing doesn't exist, it's even better."

Muttering, he sat down at the head of the floppy bed and raised his left hand.

At this time, he was wearing a black velvet glove on his left hand, which made his originally slightly petite hand look much more slender, and now the joints of the glove were constantly trembling, and it seemed that his fingers were moving.

However, in reality, it was not Lan Li who was moving.

With a frown, he removed the glove, and the change happened in vain.

Beneath the black glove was a thin white silk glove, but now, when revealed, it seemed to be a moving living thing, and after wriggling to break free from the boy's hand, the white glove was like a bird with its "wings" constantly flying around the room, and it seemed to be very panicked.

Obviously, a glove could not have any eyes, but after a moment of fluttering, the "bird" clearly found the exit in the room that the boy had deliberately opened, and sprang away, and it didn't take long for the back to disappear from sight.

Lan Li then closed the open windows tightly, so that the cold air was kept out.

Then he thought about it, turned around and dragged out a box that had been placed under the bed, and opened it with the black iron key hanging from his neck.

This box was his "garbage bin", which was also brought by Lan Li when he set out from King's Landing, and was brought to his room by the servants in advance when he attended the banquet.

However, his actions now are not to check for missing items inside, but to observe one of them.

In the wooden box, there was a sealed glass bottle at this time, the slightly blurred glass seemed to be not transparent, but the presence of a gray-haired mouse could be dimly seen.

A rat that is dumbfounded, and does not make any movements other than instinctive breathing.

But it's not just a mouse......

After a few glances, Lan Li took out the glass bottle, and then sat down on the ground regardless of the image, holding the bottle in both hands and began to shake it vigorously.

With a crackling sound, the hazy gray figure was shaken around, as if it was a mess, but no matter how it was shaken, there was no screaming sound inside, so when the shaking finally stopped, the mouse did not realize that it had turned into a petite white-haired little hen.

Seeing this, Lan Li opened the mouth of the bottle and stabbed it inward with a dagger, so the little hen looked up at him and let out a clucking sound, but there was no other reaction, so Lan Li closed the lid and began to shake again.

So the hen becomes a toad, the toad becomes an apple, and the apple becomes an octopus......

With constant shaking, the creature in the bottle is ever-changing, like a dough that can be kneaded and changed at will, but the only thing that remains unchanged is its dull expression and some corresponding instincts.

It wasn't until the contents of the bottle turned into a floating ball of gray energy that Lan Li stopped, and then stared thoughtfully at the gray mass of gray matter swaying out of thin air for a moment before slowly turning back into a mouse......

The rat was actually what it was, and the reason for the change was simple: he fed it the sprout that had grown on the seat of the carriage.
