339 Successive anomalies
For creatures like strange ghosts, Lan Li has many impressions in his previous life, he can't speak, his whole body is blue, and his javelin throwing ability is very good, but he is a person who has given away his head for thousands of miles.
And the eighteen years he lived in Westeros stemmed from something that was destined to happen in his memory, and he did not ignore this existence either. However, there is not much information about the strange spirits in this world, and it is often a series of legends, vague and as old as ghosts.
So on the whole, Lan Li's impression of the strange ghost is mainly more than that of the previous life, and therefore, he thinks that the time when the strange ghost appears will be connected to the original plot timeline, but according to the current date, it is obviously not time yet. But I didn't expect this kind of existence to suddenly explode, which was just unexpected-
That's right, it's an outbreak.
Reports from the north claimed that a large number of wild people outside the desperate Great Wall began to swarm towards the Great Wall, and behind them, there were many dead bodies chasing after them, and now the night watchmen stationed in the Great Wall were hesitant because of this incident, and it was not clear whether it was better to let the fleeing wild people enter the Great Wall or let them die cleanly.
Obviously, unlike the ghosts in the original book who were sneaky and not discovered by the world until the later period, the ghosts are now much more "arrogant" in their actions, or more exposed.
The source of the news is not Lan Li's intelligence system, most of the intelligence personnel he has trained are concentrated in Riverbend and King's Landing, which are beyond the reach of other places, but they are not unreachable.
At the very least, the alliance of ancient people, which is considered an ally, is a source of intelligence in a sense.
And the one who brought this news was the female Mei Ge who she hadn't seen for a long time.
Lan Li had known that these ancient people had infiltrated the ranks of the Night's Watch at the Great Wall, so he was not surprised that they knew about it.
At the same time, Lan Li believes that since he can know about this, then the titular power center of Westeros must not be concealed from the past.
What kind of pattern will this set off?
It's still not clear yet, after all, many situations in the memory of the previous life are not at all consistent with the present, there is no room for the original plot to unfold, and the dragon that can break through the Great Wall in the memory is not seen at all.
If no one sends the dragon, even if the ghosts erupt violently, it seems impossible to break through the Great Wall? Or, as in many cases, the monster at the moment has other abilities to break through the Great Wall? For example, bypassing the huge Great Wall that tamps the north and infiltrating by sea?
This was a worrying thing, but after thinking about it, Lan Li thought that it could also be a thing that could be used by him.
So instead of going toe-to-toe with King's Landing, he wrote a long letter.
The letter wrote down the horrors of the existence of the strange spirits in its original form, and claimed that he had to prepare for this, and had no time to think about worldly power, so he returned directly to the territory of Dragonstone after returning, and did not plan to go to King's Landing again, but at the same time, he asked King's Landing to send his brother's body to Dragonstone, and the placement of the Iron Islands in the Sancha River must be approved immediately.
The tone of the letter was strong, and there was a faint hostility and resentment, but it was not the wording of the kind of life-and-death hatred. Even after seeing this letter, the two guys with ghosts in King's Landing were confused.
"Did he even find out what we were doing?" In the quiet of the study, blonde Jaime, dressed in a thin linen pajamas, muttered a letter in his hand.
"Maybe he found something, but it's not clear what the specifics are." The beautiful queen beside her also frowned, her brows gradually stretched, "If he didn't know about the two of us, then he wouldn't have thought that we would kill his brother, and on the surface, we have no reason to do so...... That's right, we have no reason to do that, how can he doubt us?! ”
Cersei couldn't hide her joy when she reached the back of her voice, but Jaime, who was much more mature than before, still frowned, "Then why didn't he enter the city?" ”
"Who told you to be so nervous?"
Cersei glanced at her brother and complained in a complaining tone, "King's Landing is now on guard, and even a fool can see that something is wrong, and we have released news that he has ambitions to seize power. ”
Without waiting for Jaime to respond, she chuckled.
"It seems that he is not as powerful as he thought, otherwise he would not be afraid to walk in."
Is that so?
Jaime hesitated when he heard this, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The pressure that man has always brought him is too great, and now he finds that the other party does not seem to be so omnipotent, but he is a little suspicious in his heart, which seems a little unreasonable.
Curling the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, he then hurriedly said, "Then what should we do?" Promise him? ”
"Of course you have to say yes."
Cersei stood up, stretched her tall body, and said in a relaxed tone, "That man didn't ask us to release Stannis, he just wanted a rotten corpse, what could it be for?" The lands between the rivers have been destroyed, and if he wants the Iron Islands to enter, let them in, and if there is a vain family, it will not affect us after all. If what this letter says is true, it's a good thing to have the Iron People involved, as long as Little Joe sits firmly on the throne—"
As she spoke, Cersei suddenly frowned, and then began to think about the main content of the letter.
"You say he's so cautious, that strange ......"
"It is said that the reason why Brandon the Builder built the Great Wall was because of the strange spirits." Jaime shrugged, "I don't think there's anything to be afraid of, the Great Wall is there, it won't collapse suddenly, right?" And since the man said that he wanted to find a way to solve this problem, it was not our turn to worry about it. ”
"Yes." Cersei was relieved.
Obviously, after many blows, they no longer have the pride and self-confidence they once had as Lannisters, especially in the face of such supernatural things, they will always unconsciously have the idea of "giving up on themselves".
……
The conversation between the siblings was unknown to outsiders, but the decision they made was able to make Lan Li achieve what he wanted, whether it was really guided by the letter, or the extravagance in his heart that Lan Li did not find out the truth, or some other thoughts, in short, after that letter, the decomposing corpse that was sealed in the sarcophagus was secretly transported to Dragonstone Island.
At the same time, the issue of the Iron Islands has also been agreed by the Iron Throne, and the fact that Lan Li is not allowed to enter King's Landing is also not investigated.
Stannis is still trapped in the Red Keep, but as long as Lan Li himself doesn't move, he obviously won't suffer much.
Relatively speaking, the demand for Stannis's release is a very sensitive issue, just because Stannis controls the royal fleet and is also the Duke of Stormlands, such an important bargaining chip is not something that can be given up casually.
However, after Lan Li turned around and returned to Dragonstone, many Storm Land Lords and some fleet sailors secretly ran to contact him, hoping that Lan Li could provoke the girder to rescue Stannis and find out the truth about Robert's assassination.
Lan Li did plan to do so at first, the purpose of that letter was to retreat into advance, or to change from passive to active, he wanted to temporarily paralyze the enemy and then act secretly.
It's a pity that this idea had to be put aside for the time being before it could be implemented, because another shocking news came from the north—
The Great Wall of Desperation, which separates the North from the Land of Eternal Winter, has collapsed!
