296 Set sail with lightning

The two great Orders that had been destroyed were armed to protect the wilderness travelers from the harassment and attacks of wild beasts, bandits, and infidels.

The organization planned by Lan Li is actually similar in nature to the assembly of the poor in the two armed groups, except that it is not in the hands of the church.

However, although it is not directly controlled by the church, the church is the predetermined financial and logistical provider and auxiliary of the organization.

This is actually a very obvious thing, the archbishop knows a little bit, and the former prime minister Jon. Erin also saw this possibility when he looked back.

However, the current war situation is hot, and the number of refugees killed and injured is indeed too high, and he believes that the emergence of such an organization without spending a dime on the Iron Throne is a good thing, not a bad thing.

As soon as the war is over, it would be good to think about disbanding the organization or finding a way to restrain it.

After all, the time is too short, even if the church infiltrates, where can it penetrate?

It's not enough to let the Order's armament resurrect under your nose.

As for whether he will encounter obstacles from the church at that time, the old chief is not very concerned about this. At this time, the church was not the overlord of the continent more than two hundred years ago, although it was very influential and rich, but it was still subject to the Iron Throne.

The only thing that gave him a headache was Lan Li's attitude, logically speaking, Lan Li was born in a royal family, and his position should naturally be biased towards the Iron Throne, but he just has the identity of a messenger of the gods, and his style of acting is completely different from that of normal nobles.

The old prime minister was not sure that when the day came, Lan Li would help the Iron Throne or the church.

This is actually very important, on the personal side, he doesn't want to offend Lan Li, and in terms of business, Lan Li's influence in King's Landing is very strong, if he is on the side of the church, then even the Iron Throne has to worry about three points.

This also made the old man sigh, and before he knew it, the third son of Baratheon, who was once considered inconsequential and sent to the riverbend to be a "proton", had become an important figure enough to cause turmoil in the kingdom, and they were even a little unable to react.

However, he actually had a lot of concerns, although Lan Li supported the revival of the Order's armed forces, but when the war was over and all disputes had dissipated, he didn't bother to care about this kind of thing.

Now doing this, firstly, he thinks that the more strength at hand, the more likely victory, and secondly, he also wants to do something for the civilian class in this world that has no human rights.

If he can get the Order's armament restored from his hands, then he can exchange it from the Seven Gods for something that is important to him-

"The function of the divine spirit is related to the state of His believers, and if you can restore the armed forces of the church, then He can do a lot more."

"What's the matter?"

"For example, god-killing."

……

The conversation took place after Lan Li was still in the king's reign and saw a large influx of refugees.

At that time, he had the idea of recovering the armament of the order, so he communicated with the spokesperson of the seven gods on his wrist about the "benefits" he could obtain after he was restored.

And the results made Lan Li very excited.

The war started because of him, but his enemies were not the ordinary careerists, but the many "gods" behind them.

If it weren't for the oracles sent down by the gods urging the faithful to come to Westeros to find and destroy the "Gates of the Old Days", this war would not have been fought at all, and he would not have had to work so hard.

Therefore, the solution to this big problem is not to win this war, but to erase those "gods".

However, Lan Li is not capable of doing this.

Killing people is he doing, killing gods?

If there was a substance, he could have tried, but the gods he knew were ethereal, invisible and intangible.

In this case, no matter how powerful he wielded his sword and how many special powers he had, there was no other possibility than to scare the air.

So since the Seven Gods can help him do this, then Lan Li naturally needs to pay attention to it.

However, he will not believe all the words of the spokesperson, although from the beginning to the present, the one does not seem to have said anything to him, but who can guarantee that she will never say anything?

Spiritual talent has no effect on this kind of existence at all, and Lan Li will not trust her 100%. And the other party also seems to know Lan Li's suspicion, and each transaction completes the part of the Seven Gods in advance.

It's just that this time because she needs to restore the Order's armament, she can't kill the gods immediately, but the spokesperson claims that when the armament is initially restored, then the Seven Gods can solve a hostile god for him.

Lan Li is looking forward to this day.

……

It's a long journey from King's Landing to the West, and from the West to the Iron Islands, but no matter how long it is, there will be a day when it arrives.

On a fairly sunny morning, the expedition to Lannister Harbor in the West, with the help of the native Lannister family, set sail on the road to the Iron Islands.

In addition to the members of the Emissary Regiment, there were two foreign captives, one was Rhaenys, the other was her bodyguard, and the sword teacher.

Many people don't really know what the identities of these two people are, because Lan Li didn't treat them according to the attitude of the captives at all, and the only one in the team other than Lan Li knew about it was the former intelligence chief Varys.

But Varys obviously didn't talk much about it, and because Lan Li didn't lock him up either, Varys didn't observe the rumored very peculiar daughter of the Sea King during this time.

Then he found out that this girl was indeed very special.

The most special thing is that she has been captured, and she always looks like she is smiling, and Lan Li's attitude towards her captives is not the slightest hostile at all, but flatters her everywhere.

Not only did he run to shush the cold and ask for warmth when he was fine, but he also always asked around the team about Lan Li's preferences and habits, and Varys, who looked at it, couldn't help but shudder, guessing that the strange Lan Li had brainwashed the poor little girl?

This matter is very important, because if Lan Li has the ability to "brainwash" the girl, then naturally he also has the ability to brainwash him Varys-

Although he no longer thinks that he can hide any secrets from the other party, Varys still does not want to lose his "freedom" of thought.

So from time to time, he would run to the girl and knock on the side, trying to find out the truth.

It's a pity that he hasn't made much progress, every time he asks, the girl is smiling and silent, and then she naturally shifts the topic, and the intelligent and precocious personality makes Varys sigh secretly, but she feels deep regret for this "brainwashed" girl.

However, despite not being able to ask anything, Varys was still keen to communicate with the girl, and no one in the group knew his identity, and no one spoke to him.

In this case, apart from Lan Li, only this girl, who was also a captive, could chat with him to pass the time.

……

On this day, on the ship, Varys also chatted with the girl about the current war, but the conversation had to be stopped when the dark clouds began to gather on the day, and when the sea breeze blew fiercely and the otherwise bright environment became darker.

"It's a familiar scene."

The girl next to her looked up at the darkened sky, looking thoughtful.

"Braavos is on the sea, and there will be no shortage of storms." Varys replied.

"No, I mean—"

The girl suddenly stopped talking in the middle of her words, and then her little face showed a trace of dazedness, but this emotion disappeared in a flash, and it was not noticed by the people around her.

Because the sea breeze was getting stronger and stronger, it was obvious that she could not stay on the deck, so the girl said goodbye to Varys, and hurried back to the cabin, thinking about going back to her room, but after thinking about it, she moved and ran in the direction where Lan Li was.

She was going to "brush her favorability" as usual, but when she walked outside the door of the Lanli room, she suddenly noticed something unusual.

In the cabin, which was not soundproofed, there was a strange sound of crackling, and at the same time, a bright light leaked through the crack in the door, shining on the girl's curious face, which looked trance-like.

The door was obviously not closed, and the girl's mind moved, and then she raised her hand and pushed it a little harder, and the gap in the door quietly widened, and then an amazing scene came into her eyes.

The glare of light lit up from the table by the window, shrouding the slender figure with his back to the door, and the crackling sound became clearer, but because it was blocked by the man, it was impossible to see the source, and all that could be seen was the dazzling cracks that twisted and fluttered in the air on both sides of his body.

Is that...... Lightning?
