197 The Will of the Leader
Thin snowflakes drifted down from the gloomy sky, covering the gray earth with a faint whiteness, but it did not affect everything in and around the Twin River Cities.
The children in the castle are looking for rotting river fish that have been caught in by the flood, while the adults are busy cleaning up the messy grounds of the castle, and the ox carts are transporting all kinds of garbage and some supplies.
The clanging of metal and rock was faintly heard outside the castle in the direction of the long bridge, with occasional shouts as stonemasons hired by the Frey family repaired the damaged bridge under the Twin Rivers.
In the room in the tower, looking at the busy small figures below, he felt a little cold around, so Lan Li tightened the cotton clothes on his body.
After the "disaster", the Freys went to Haijiang City to participate in the battle, and even the castle that originally looked quite crowded will suddenly become much more spacious.
Without the idle people who "wander" every day, the children seem to be a lot quieter, or they have left a lot, and it is said that many of them followed their mothers to their parents' homes for temporary recreation.
Lan Li is still more happy to see this, because before, there were always some little children who came to the door to invite him to go out to play, and once or twice he could pretend to be sick and ignore it, and it was not appropriate to do too many times. It's not that it depends on the emotions of those children, mainly that those children can't have come on their own initiative - there are naturally others behind them, even the old Marquis Frey.
The goal, of course, is to bring the relationship closer.
It's just that if you keep being rejected, even if you face a child, you will definitely be unhappy if you have too many times.
But he doesn't have time to pay attention to himself now, does he?
Lan Li thought to herself.
"The situation is urgent", and the Frey family has to send troops to help Haijiang City, but it is clear that they can't really be happy about it.
At the very least, Lan Li had heard the servants claim that their Lord Frey was sending someone to wanton the fleeing Black Wald, and if they were to be captured, then even if those reinforcements arrived near Haijiang City, it was estimated that there was a possibility that the troops would be withdrawn.
But this is unlikely, after all, the slogan is so loud......
Thinking about it, he turned his head and picked up a silver-plated mirror on the table not far away, and looked down at it.
The deal with the Seven Gods is basically over here, but there is a little "side effect" after the transaction that Lan Li has to pay attention to, that is, his changed profession, or professional characteristics-
[Leader's Will: When you make a move that echoes the spirit of chivalry, you and the knights of your faction will be blessed with the corresponding power of faith]
……
The knight class has become a knight king, and the characteristics have changed from single-player blessing to multiplayer.
Lan Li didn't know exactly how the scope of this same camp was classified, but he was worried about one thing at this time, that is, whether normal knightly behavior could provide "experience" for this knight king profession?
"Do I have to be a leader?"
He muttered quietly, secretly feeling that the seven gods seemed to be a little "nosy", after all, it was very simple for a simple knight to "level up", but if you want to be a leading knight, you don't know what the situation is, and it will inevitably become very troublesome.
But at the moment, he wasn't sure about that, so he didn't pay much attention to it. His gaze shifted, and he was about to observe the other attributes, but the visit of the Frey family's butler interrupted Lan Li's movements.
"I bring you my sincere greetings from Lord Frey, Lord Lanli, you have been frightened in Twin Rivers City during this time, but rest assured, there will be no more surprises in the future."
The butler of the Frey family was a cross-eyed fellow, short and fat, more like a weasel than most Frey, and Lan Li learned that this was actually one of the sons of old Frey, and he had forgotten the first few sons, mainly because there were too many sons of that person.
"Things have been busy lately, and Master Frey hasn't slept very well, so I've neglected my lord, please forgive me." I don't know what I think in my heart, but this weasel steward's attitude on the surface is at least very qualified, but what he said sounded like coaxing a child, Lan Li didn't say anything when he heard this, and responded politely and immaturely.
Then he listened to the fat weasel start to babble in his ear.
In general, it is still a fool of children, and every sentence of this guy is more or less consciously or unconsciously mentioning how difficult it is for the Frey family, how honored it is to receive you, the little duke, and I hope that King Robert can also feel the courtesy of their family.
However, there is no lack of focus in this man's words, at least he indicates two things-
The Frey family is currently short of manpower, and there are not too many people to send Lan Li to the High Court for the time being, and it is not safe to have fewer people, so I hope Lan Li will stay here for a while.
The second thing is even more interesting.
"There was a traitor in the Frey family that day, coercing our marquise not to mention it, and yelling at the old marquis, and you have seen the process." The weasel butler was not embarrassed when he said this, and probably thought that a little child might not understand anything about it.
"That traitor has escaped, maybe he will go to King Robert to frame our Frey's family, if this is the case, please help us testify at that time."
Looking for witnesses to find the murderer here?
Lan Li secretly felt funny, but nodded solemnly on the surface.
"Please tell Lord Wade, thanks to the Frey family's grand hospitality, if there is such a thing, I will definitely stand up to help, and it is not to help, but to tell the truth."
Such a small adult gesture surprised the weasel butler, but he didn't think much about it, continued to nag a few words, and then left satisfied.
Obviously, that last sentence is the point, and the Frey family is afraid that even if the danger of Haijiang City is lifted, even if they send troops, that Melister will go to sue - although there is no possibility of bearing the consequences of the destruction of Haijiang City, it will also attract some suspicion and even hostile eyes.
However......
Shaking his head, Lan Li no longer thought about it, but continued to look down at his mirror.
The personal attributes revealed by the attribute panel are the same as usual, and the two classes still have a bunch of knowledge and skills.
Broadly speaking, in addition to the marine aspect, it is also a human elite template, and after pondering it for a while, Lan Li looked at his left wrist.
Compared with the personal attributes with clear information, these "plug-ins" are not clear one by one.
The chaotic imprint at the core of his wrist continued to breed ancient path seeds, and he already had seven of them.
The Flooding Flame that existed with the Chaos Mark had been weakened after two great floods, but it had not dissipated, it just needed to be warmed, and Lan Li didn't dare to use it casually, because he was afraid that he would really lose it.
There was no movement in the contract of the seven gods, after all, the first transaction had not been completely completed, but Lan Li felt that the gods and humans must have different concepts of time, and even if it was completed, the frequency of the seven gods contacting themselves through this thing was estimated not to be too frequent.
However, Lan Li can take the initiative to come to the door......
What can you do when you come to the door?
He pondered secretly.
At present, he only knows that the other party can reincarnate people, and that seems to be the function of the Holy Mother among the seven gods, and he doesn't know much about the rest.
Thinking about it, he thought of other things in a trance.
For now, returning to the High Court to grow up quietly and entering the quest to figure out Raya and the Children of Chaos is the next thing he is going to do.
But beyond that, he thought he should do something unplanned.
"It's necessary to get an intelligence unit"
Looking at everything busy outside the tower, Lan Li pondered in his heart.
If he hadn't come out and walked around like this, he would have thought that the world would still be the same as it was.
However, now he is a werewolf and an ancient, which is obviously beyond his inherent impression.
Lan Li thought that he had to grasp the movements of these things.
Although his ideal is to be a traveler, the premise is that the base camp is stable-
After all, if the Baratheon dynasty was in turmoil, it was obvious that he, as a family member, would not be able to escape the fate of strife.
Then you have to hold everything in your hands.
Until there is the power to ignore it all.
