67 The egg is broken
"This is the first time you've come to Lan Li?"
Although the oncoming sentence sounded flat and emotionless, the person concerned felt nervous because of it.
"My lord, I-"
The former smuggler paused for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "I'm just telling Lord Lan Li about the outside world, he is very curious about King's Landing, and likes to listen to some customs and interesting stories about the streets and alleys. β
As he spoke, Davos felt ashamed in his heart.
He had sworn allegiance to Stannis, and his current status was due to him, but now he lied to him......
However, it is not okay to say otherwise, the things involved in that matter are very complicated, and since he should go down to do it, it is difficult to tell the truth.
It didn't sound like a problem, but the other party was keenly aware of the anomaly in Davos's words.
"Lord Lanli? More than 10 years of smuggling have made you so in awe of even a child? Or is my onion knight a very polite person? β
Davos was struck by this, but his smuggling career had brought him more than just a lot of experience in boating, so he bowed his head and replied, "Just because that kid always called me Sir, I mean when I was at Storm's End, Lord Stannis, before you made me a knight." β
After that, seeing that the other party was still quietly looking at him, the brown-haired middle-aged man added cautiously.
"I said I wasn't a knight, I couldn't be called a knight, and the boy said he wasn't an adult, and then we ...... It's used to calling each other like this, calling in private. β
"That's right." The other party nodded slowly when he heard this, and after looking at him a few times, he suddenly said, "He has been very eccentric since he was a child. β
The brown-haired middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, but the other party ignored his expression and squinted, as if he was immersed in past memories.
"On the day my parents were shipwrecked, I thought he couldn't figure out what was going on, after all, he was just a baby less than a year old, but the truth is exactly the opposite of what I thought."
"After that storm, many of the servants wept as much as we did, and my uncle hid in his room to wipe his tears, but who could really be sad? Within a few days, the servants were already busy again in the succession ceremony of the new duke, forgetting all about the old duke, and the uncle always pulled Robert to say this and that. Clessen kept writing letters informing the Seven Kingdoms of the birth of the young duke, as if it were some kind of joy. β
As he spoke, his blue eyes condensed, and he looked at the brown-haired middle-aged man in front of him again.
"I looked at all the people in the castle, and it seemed that only the little baby, who was less than a year old, was still grieving the death of his parents, and then I always thought it was my delusion, after all, he was too young at the time, what could he understand?"
These words made Davos hesitate to open his mouth to respond, but the other party did not intend to hear any answer, and after thinking silently for a moment, he suddenly smiled.
"He likes to listen, so you can talk to him more."
He shook his head as he spoke, then turned to leave.
Looking at the other party's back, Davos subconsciously touched the small bag on his chest, and a trace of weirdness flashed in his eyes.
Is this adult really not discovering anything, or is he pretending not to see?
β¦β¦
Lan Li obviously couldn't imagine that he was "targeted" when he was an infant, or the cheap second brother who seemed to him to be as stinky and hard as Maokeng stones, and he was thinking about other problems at this time.
The rumors of the secret passage and the queen have basically ended, but a new problem has emerged, that is, the Zedi and his dagger.
Zedi had a dagger on his body, which was a medium that allowed him to enter the "copy of history", and after initially realizing that he couldn't smell it, he thought that the Zedi didn't have it.
However, upon closer inspection, Lan Li found that this was not the case, and the dagger was still intact in the leather sheath on the opponent's waist - because the wooden handle of the dagger had a mark on the leaf of a fish beam, so Lan Li could recognize it.
However, the question arises, why is the smell on this dagger gone?
This discovery made him have to pay attention.
Why?
Is it because the dagger is just a "fake" dagger with the same symbol? Is the real dagger somewhere else?
Or is something inside gone?
Or is the problem with yourself?
β¦β¦
Doubts lingered, but it was useless to think about it, so Lan Li planned to accomplish what he hadn't done at Storm's Endβget the dagger in his hands.
It's a pity that the people of Zedi don't live in the Red Fort, they haven't met again after meeting once, and the Red Fort people have many eyes, and it is impossible for Lan Li to keep an eye on him and then carry out a sneak attack, so he can only borrow someone else's hand.
He wasn't sure if he could do it, but for now, he had to do it first, and he needed to find an excuse to even get out of the Mega Tower, let alone swagger into the city outside the castle.
So Lan Li could only wait silently.
Robert was crowned three days later, but that didn't have much to do with him, as long as he was in charge of watching and being a decoration, and the wedding after a while might make him a "companion", and this blue ceremony didn't think it was a big deal.
However, he didn't plan to continue salting, as the situation of the Zedi's situation had changed his mentality, so Lan Li decided to find an opportunity to get out of the Red Keep and go to the hill to get another medium.
If it doesn't smell anymore......
Other than that, that's all that remains of the egg.
Thinking of this, Lan Li rubbed the cat's feet on the balcony, then slid off the chair and climbed into the feather bed not far away.
The black cat followed, but Lan Li pushed his face away, and he then used the key hanging around his neck to lock open the heavy wooden box in front of him, and then turned it over.
At this time, the handkerchief was hidden in the crevices of a pile of toys made of wood or cloth, and Lan Li fished it out and opened it to reveal a broken bone the size of a thumb and a strange egg.
The broken bones are much smaller than before, and the eggs are no longer the way they used to be.
At this time, it looks like a fine work of art, with a smooth and natural oval surface, brilliant gold and pale gray all over the entire body of the egg, as if it is embellished with two magnificent colors of broken diamonds, which can be seen at a glance to be valuable.
It's just that apart from the change in appearance, Lan Li didn't see anything else happening.
"You don't mean there's nothing else going on, do you?"
Secretly thinking, he shook his head.
In any case, it is better to have change than not to change, if there is no such thing, he can only eat this egg in the corner, and now......
"At least it looks more valuable."
Thinking like this, he weighed the weight of the egg in his hand, thinking that in the future, if he was destitute, he could sell this thing for a lot of money.
However, just as he did so, a change of consciousness struck.
But with a little force, the usual harmless behavior suddenly made the egg make a clicking sound at this moment, and then before Lan Li could react, a message suddenly appeared-
[You have discovered the abundant source of life, and after eating it, some kind of deep mysterious change will occur in your body]
