68 Coronation and lethargy
What is the difference between the taste of dragon eggs and eggs?
Lan Li felt that there was no strange difference, they were all so sticky, and they had a fishy smell, but there was a special spicy feeling, which still adhered to the mouth for a long time after swallowing, and even after accidentally touching a little juice on his fingers, he also felt this way.
It reminded him of the burning pain of his skin when he cut chili peppers in his previous life.
Of course, if you consider the color of the egg white and yolk of the dragon egg, it can be clearly distinguished from the egg. It was not a normal viscous translucent liquid, but a hint of gold in the bright red, and after thinking about it for a long time, Lan Li didn't come up with a suitable word to describe it.
It doesn't seem right to say rose gold, and it's really unreliable to say dark gold......
So from these thoughts, it can be seen that he is actually very idle now, and he has not eaten the on-the-spot upgrade or opened up the second vein of Rendu or anything after eating the treasures of heaven and earth.
Of course, it can also be seen that after that news, he really ate the egg, although after repeated entanglements and hesitations in the process, after all, the message prompted that the source of life was discovered, but it did not specify what kind of changes would occur after eating it - obvious or hidden?
Good or bad?
Will there be scales on my body?
Although he finally swallowed the egg raw, Lan Li was still very worried about it in his heart.
After eating it, he didn't find any other sensations other than spicy, and even the spiciness, although it was said to be a step to the stomach, was not serious, but slight, as if countless small insects were biting lightly in his body.
After waiting for a long time, there was no special circumstance, and even that kind of "prompt" did not appear again.
After standing on the edge of the bed and smashing his mouth, Lan Li looked down at the gorgeous eggshell in his hand that had been emptied, wondering if it was because he didn't eat the eggshell together, so it didn't have any effect.
So he broke off a crystal-clear fragment of a dragon shell and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
The shell of the dragon egg is crunchy, but the taste has the stuffy smell of durian mixed with stinky tofu, not smelling, but eating it, with a slight hint of rot, and a hint of unbearable sourness.
After barely swallowing a bite, his little face wrinkled, and finally the second bite was unbearable and spit it out.
"Forget it, I didn't send anything, who knows if I will have diarrhea after eating."
Thinking like this, he felt that it seemed a bit of a waste not to eat this thing, after all, he remembered that eggshells were nutritious, and some oviparous animals seemed to be eaten by shells when they were just born......
So after thinking about it, he wrapped the eggshell in his original handkerchief and put it back in his "garbage can".
……
There were no accidents that day, except for choking on dinner, which caused a few servants to run up and knock on the beats, everything was as usual, and he lit candles in the room alone for half the night, and Lan Li didn't feel any special feelings, not even a stomach upset.
So he fell asleep with regret.
That night he had a dream in which a dragon covered in molten scales looked down on him from the depths of the dim temple shrouded in mist, the dragon's head hideous but handsome, and its crimson eyes like two bloody wounds, brightly reflecting the look of the dwarf boy below.
The dragon then opened its jaws, and a torrent of blue flames swept away, engulfing the boy completely.
His outer skin withered and blackened, and eventually fell off like an old wall skin, followed by his inner muscles, then blood and viscera......
However, at this moment, Lan Li didn't feel pain at all, but only felt a kind of cold attack that penetrated into his bones, and the blue breath that came to his face and completely engulfed him seemed to be not a flame, but the sea.
Endless sea.
……
When he woke up the next day, he looked back, but he couldn't remember what had happened in the dream, but he remembered that the dream seemed unusual, and then at night, this familiar dream came again.
The next day it was the same, but again, there were no special circumstances.
The change occurred on the third day, the day of King Robert's coronation.
……
The coronation of a new king requires a very tedious process, including the anointing of the oil, the recitation of the oath, and the ceremony in the Basilica of St. Belle in King's Landing, by a fat archbishop and several other archbishops.
The solemn, solemn, sacred, ceremonial atmosphere brought about by the special atmosphere of the crowd was very silent in the vast hall, and only the deep chant of the archbishop was clearly heard.
At this time, hundreds of well-dressed nobles watched the ceremony, standing quietly between the long pillars on both sides of the church, looking at the half-kneeling black-haired young man in the center and the archbishop in front of him.
Tywin Lannister, Jon Arryn, Horst Tully, Eddard Stark......
The major dukes and princes of the Seven Kingdoms, who were rarely seen in ordinary times, were all gathered together, and behind them were the subordinate lords and nobles under their respective commands, and there were countless minor nobles and knights after the secondary nobles.
As the younger brother of the new king, Lan Li naturally couldn't be absent on this special occasion, and even he was standing not far from the archbishop, standing with the second brother Stannis, so he could clearly see the stiff facial expression of the cheap brother in his house at the moment and the spit stars that unconsciously splashed out between the fat archbishop's chatter.
The ceremonial oath was long and tedious, but it was finally recited anyway, and then the chubby archbishop dragged a golden crown of rubies and black diamonds in his hands and slowly fastened it above Robert's head, announcing that he should rise in the name of Robert I of the House of Baratheon, King of the Andals, Leunar and the Ancestors, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and Guardian of the Lands.
The young king thus stood up, and the ceremony ended, and the sound of countless bells rang out at the same time, and the sound of them echoed throughout the city.
In the cheers, the ministers knelt down on one knee, and Lan Li was among them, but he was in a trance at the moment, and he felt dizzy, as if the countless people around him were emitting bursts of ghosting.
Shaking his head, the feeling disappeared, and Lan Li thought that he might be a little hypostasis.
Next, the king led a team around King's Landing, most of the lords and nobles followed, and the mighty procession formed a long snake from the square in front of the cathedral to take shape, as if a large army had been dispatched.
Most of the people in the group rode horses, but were also accompanied by carriages.
As a child, Lan Li was in a carriage, and because of this, no one noticed that the boy looked depressed, his eyelids opened and closed, and he was drowsy, and finally fell into a coma.
It had rained heavily last night, and now it's clear, but the ground is muddy.
In the bright sun, the ornate carriages, with their wheels and bearings rubbing against each other, followed the ranks of knights, unhurriedly along the dirty roads of King's Landing, flanked by golden-robed guards to maintain order, and farther on the periphery were a crowd of onlookers.
The cheers around him never stopped, and with a large number of colorful flowers being swayed down, the heroic King Robert rode his horse to the front, feeling the upward gaze coming from all directions, and finally showed a heroic smile on his face that had not been shown recently.
The dukes who followed him were all richly dressed, and the horses under him were also dressed in gold and silver, making it difficult for people to ignore.
In this case, no one cared about the carriage dotted in the procession, and no one noticed that some of the muddy sewage on the brick-paved but muddy ground of the carriage had been rolled over and rolled away, only to disperse as the carriage moved away.
