187 The Fallen Dragon (Thank you for the alliance leader award of the book friend who laughs without crying~)
There was a chilling sensation from the stone wall clinging to him, and people couldn't help but shiver, but the words of his own marquis made Rod have to maintain this posture so that he could more easily listen to the sounds in the room behind him.
It's not that he's listening to any secrets, it's mainly that the one in the room is really important, at least, he must not be allowed to encounter any danger in the Twin Rivers.
Therefore, they have to pay close attention to all the movements in the house, so that they can go in at any time to "rescue" in case of accidents.
The companion on the other side of the door maintained the same posture as Rod, but compared to the young and strong Rod, some of the emaciated companions were obviously not in good health, and after sticking for a while, they couldn't help but distance themselves and then raised their hands to rub them, and their expressions were also full of pain.
"Keep an eye on me, Rod, I can't stand the cold on my waist...... Oh my God, why did Master Frey make this door so bad, we can only listen to the corner. β
"This place is only reserved for distinguished guests, of course, it needs to be built firmly."
Rhodes replied in a whisper, listening intently to everything in the room.
In fact, the best option in this case is actually to stick it on the door, not next to it, but the steward of the old man Frey said that we can't let the distinguished guests find out that we have the slightest sign of listening to the corner, so they can only stay on both sides honestly.
God knows why the gang of old men didn't ask the distinguished guest to come out and stay inside, since there was danger inside. But there is no way, the above is an understatement, those of them who are private soldiers can only do their best to complete this task, if there is the slightest mistake, it will be bad-
Master Frey said that if there is a good guest inside, the two of them will not be able to protect their heads.
Rhodes had no problem with this, or rather, his ancestors had been the personal soldiers of the Frey family for several generations, and he had long been accustomed to all the reasonable or unreasonable demands of the masters, but he thought that this task was still a bit difficult.
Nothing else, the sound inside is vague, I really can't hear it, and I really can't tell the sound from bad......
"Warrior - Health What He's Talking About"
The companions couldn't hear what was going on inside, either, but they knew that the guest was the only one in the room who could speak, so there was no need to guess where the sound came from.
"Maybe I'm praying for that poisoned guy."
When Rod heard this, he replied, "I heard that the one who was poisoned is the life-saving benefactor of the distinguished guest." β
This is naturally true, although the distinguished guest only arrived in Twin Rivers City this morning, but the relevant rumors have already spread throughout the Frey family.
For example, the identity of the guest, why he is here, and what the poisoned person is.
Wade. The Marquis of Frey announced the identity of the distinguished guest in front of all the Freys, and gave a warm welcome, so that everyone knew that the young boy was the youngest brother of His Majesty.
The question of why His Majesty's younger brother appeared near Twin Rivers was also spread through the mouth of a knight who hunted down monsters in and out of the castle.
It is said that the Duke of Dragonstone originally stayed in a place called Shield Island in the Riverbend, but was kidnapped all the way along the seaside to the Riverland, and the original purpose of the kidnappers was to go to Haijiang City, not far from Twin River City, and then handed it over to the iron people who were attacking the city there, but in the end the little duke was rescued.
He was saved by the poisoned unconscious man right now.
That's why the little duke paid so much attention to the unconscious guy, and after arriving in Twin Rivers City, except for the first time after talking to the old marquis for a while, he stayed in the house to take care of him for the rest of the time, and now it sounds like he is even praying for him, so grateful, it's really a very rare good adult......
Guard Rhodes sighed silently, but his companion on the other side was quite puzzled.
"But aren't all warriors blessed with victory, and blessed with health, it should be to pray to the Virgin."
"Our Lady is blessed with a smooth birth." Knowing that his companion believed in the old gods of the north, Rhodes was not surprised to hear this, but explained casually: "The warrior made the forty-four sons of Hugo, the king of the hills, strong - the story says so, so of course health should also look for him." β
"Smooth production" companions wondered when they heard this.
"Then why does my cousin always ask Our Lady to bless her son?"
"Of course, it also includes raising adults, growing up children, having many children, and praying for mother's love and mercy." Rhodes patiently replied, "Anyway, it's right to pray to Our Lady when it comes to having children." β
β¦β¦
The two guards were muttering about the division of the gods outside the door, while Lan Li was praying as they expected.
However, his prayers only went back and forth, either to bless his health, or to give him courage and successfully defeat the toxin, and his prayers were limited to warriors.
It was a little monotonous, but it was repetitive, sitting there muttering, staring at the unconscious man on the bed, but his expression was slightly happy.
The Warrior's Son trait is currently the only ability that Lan Li can count on, and this ability allows him to get a response when he prays to a warrior who is one of the Seven Gods.
However, this kind of response doesn't seem to be reliable, and it can't be effective for itself, and the usual few tests on others have not found any obvious effect, silently, and it is impossible to determine whether it is really useful.
So then Lan Li didn't have the heart to think about this thing anymore-
Until now.
He didn't really have much hope, but he always felt very unwilling if he didn't try, but he didn't know if it was really a blind cat that ran into a dead mouse, or some unpredictable relationship between those so-called gods, in short, when he started to chatter, the unconscious Rhaenys actually reacted!
Or rather, it's not that she has a reaction, but that the human skin on her face has a reaction!
After the first prayer, it was not very obvious, but after the second and third prayers, Lan Li could clearly see that the expression of "Ryan", who was originally indifferent, suddenly showed a trace of pain!
With the help of the psychic ability, Lan Li was able to perceive that this pain was not Rhaenys herself, but a sudden "feedback" from the mask.
This situation was indeed a bit unexpected for him, but then Lan Li remembered that it seemed that Rhaenys had told him that there was something like the remnant will of the dead in this mask, and that this mask was made with the power of the God of a Thousand Faces......
How can this help Rhaenys in her current situation?
Lan Li didn't know, or he wasn't sure if the situation was good or bad, but it was better to have feedback than to sit here and wait for the other party to die, so he didn't stop nagging.
As if it was a tight spell, the more he nagged the "Ryan" on the bed, the more painful his expression became, and finally it was even full of hideousness, his closed eyes opened suddenly, and his brown eyes were full of a fierce stare at the ceiling above his head, which really startled Lan Li.
Then he chattered faster.
As a result, Ryan's face gradually turned yellow, then darkened, and finally even blackened and cracked as if it had been scorched by fire, making Lan Li a little worried about whether this would disfigure the real Rhaenys twice.
But then he didn't have this concern, because just after the mask cracked, he suddenly felt a wave of emotions born that he didn't have before, faint, but real!
This mask also blocks out my "telepathy"
Lan Li was very surprised by this, because it was obviously not like this when he was in contact before, but now he didn't have time to think about it, and there was a gap in the mask, so he hurriedly pinched it and dragged it down and was about to throw it aside, but then, his movements couldn't help but pause.
Because he found that the woman under the mask had opened her eyes at some point.
The purple eyes now look devoid of any moisture and brightness, and they are dull as if they are covered with a layer of gray. When the mask was lifted, the ash was not diminished in the slightest, but instead it was like a pool of stagnant water without the slightest vitality, in a trance, sluggish, and unfocused......
"I dreamed that in Dorne, my dragon was shot to death."
The faint and hoarse voice made Lan Li's little joy disappear when he was just born, and he felt a lifeless breath in the other party's thinking, and he faintly felt bad.
"I dreamed that it was scared, frightened, and helpless."
"Dreams are just dreams, wake up quickly, and find a way-" Lan Li urged in a low voice, but the other party didn't seem to hear what he was saying, or didn't listen, but muttered to himself.
"Later I dreamed that it wasn't dead, but it was shot through its wings and could no longer fly."
Lan Li frowned when he heard this, and found that he didn't seem to be able to count on this sane guy anymore, so he looked at his left wrist and decided to test it again-
Maybe the mask blocked that, too
"It couldn't fly, it was trapped in that castle, surrounded by obstacles, not at all like it was in the sky."
Muttering, the woman on the bed looked at Lan Li slightly, making him pause as he was pinching out a wisp of fire.
"Things that weren't supposed to be a dragon to face, so it wanted to get away from it all, it wanted to break free from it all. But it has long since lost its wings. So it can't get rid of these at all, and it keeps struggling and exerting force, but it's always doing useless work in a cycle. β
Lan Li frowned and placed a wisp of blue flame on the other party's forehead, but there was no sign of fusion, so he withdrew it and replaced it with a gray one.
"Then it got tired and thought it should rest. Death may really be a relief for it, and it should embrace itβit should succumb to its fate, it shouldn't struggle, it should die in Dorne, it should die in that castle. Instead of becoming a wingless dragon and surviving. If a dragon has no wings, is it still a dragon......"
The voice became weaker and weaker at the end, and the hazy eyes gradually closed, at this time Lan Li found that his gray fire still could not be fused, and the other party's mental death qi became more and more serious, which made his heart full of annoyance, and even quite annoyed.
It's just that the last sentence left by the other party made him tremble, and all emotions completely turned into silence.
"I hate you, Lan Li."
