148 Hurry
The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became solemn because of this sentence, and in the face of the black-haired boy's question, the short-haired silver-haired woman's expression froze for a moment, and then squinted and said, "Of course, I sent you in exchange for a bigger reward." β
After the words were spoken, she couldn't take them back, and it was a little embarrassing for her to say that she had leaked her mouth for a while, but Megger didn't care so much about it.
Even if you tell the truth, what can you do? Leaving right and left would only make the little guy less honest, but she didn't think that a child who was not honest could have any consequences, even though the child was very smart.
However, to her surprise, the expression on the face of the boy opposite did not change much after hearing this, but he just sighed and then said nothing.
"You're not afraid?"
Maegor raised an eyebrow and asked, "The Iron Islands are full of your father's enemies. β
"It's a big deal, pay a ransom."
Lan Li replied, "There won't be a piece of meat missing." β
Defeated aristocratic captives can indeed be exchanged for ransom, but this is the rule of Westeros, and in the Iron Islands, this rule may not be very useful, especially if the other party's father is a powerful faction in the Riverlands.
This kid is smart, but it's still too tender, Meg thought to herself.
This is also normal, a child who was raised in a castle since he was a child with no worries about food and clothing, and his knowledge of the outside world is mostly limited to history books and the mouth of bards, and he probably thinks that everything outside is beautiful.
Inexplicably with some emotion, the tall woman ignored the boy's reaction and turned to continue walking.
"You're a funny boy, maybe I'll change my mind." She said.
Lan Li glanced at her back and didn't say anything.
What he said just now was just to end the topic as soon as possible, in fact, of course he couldn't be so naΓ―ve, he thought that the Megger in front of him seemed to be a little taken for granted.
Like, how does she get to the Iron Islands? And with whom do you trade? With nothing to prove her identity, how could a trade partner believe her? And, why do people trade with you?
Isn't it good to rob the past?
Lan Li didn't know what the other party thought, maybe he had a plan, but it didn't matter, because he didn't think he would be sent to the Iron Islands.
Although he became a little unsafe from the sea, the overall situation was still under his control, and the person in front of him, who had the idea of sending him to the Iron Islands in exchange for benefits, obviously did not think that as soon as he reached the range of the sea, the choice would no longer be in her hands.
Lan Li wasn't worried about anything, relatively speaking, he was more concerned about one other thing.
That is, what has become of the world?
The gender of the person in front of him surprised him, but aside from that, it was already clear where she came from, the last copy of what he had experienced.
From this association, the origins of the proponents of the children of the drowning gods circulating in the Iron Islands also seem to be clear-
At that time, the son of the drowned god rebelled for the second time but was beheaded, and then sacrificed to the weak king of Inis, but the death of the son of the drowned god did not mean that all his followers were also exterminated.
Therefore, if the mark on his hand can really cause the people of that copy world to travel over, it is not incomprehensible that such a group of people will appear.
But why does this kind of crossing cause transgenderism?
Is there some kind of force in the process of crossing? Or is it something else?
Confusion......
Walking in the dim light, the boy touched his left wrist and pursed his lips in silence.
The Sigil of Chaos, remembering that he had completed his mission of guiding the Children of Chaos, had initially thought that the sigil was so special that it might have been empowered by the system in him.
However, in the past, many missions have been rewarded with a lot of correlation with completing events, so is there another possibility?
Lan Li couldn't help but recall the face of a girl with a cocked nose and freckles in her mind, and the other party's intimate smiling face seemed to be still vivid, but when she thought about it again, the feeling was completely different.
What exactly is a Child of Chaos?
The question came out of his mind and occupied most of his mind, but as usual, he still couldn't figure out the answer to it.
But I should at least understand what has happened......
Muttering to himself, the boy looked up at the figure of the woman walking in front of him.
The words in front of her who had been sent by the gods were completely foolish, but there was no doubt that she was from that world.
In any case, it is the goal that you must accomplish to find out everything that the other person knows.
Judging from the existence of the other party, that world could not be a place where he would stand still or dissipate as soon as he left, so he wanted to know what happened there after he left.

The beach where one big and one small landed was not too far beyond the range of Green Shield Island, and there may have been only a sea area between them and the island, so they were still within the confines of the river.
It was not known whether there were pursuers behind her, but the cautious silver-haired woman wisely did not take the esplanade, which approached the shoreline, but walked the path in a zigzag way.
Fishing villages, forests, streams, fertile fields, farmhouses, manors, fruit groves......
As we continue to penetrate the bends, traces of civilization can be seen everywhere, such as the leisurely turning mill windmills, the women peasants who gather firewood in groups, the roosters that crow on the earthen walls in the morning, the dogs that bark, and the knights and riders who rush to the battlefield in old or shiny chain mail on the way.
The war has caused turmoil in the entire continent of Westeros, and the common people have complained, but for some mercenary knights, mercenaries, and even bandits and robbers, this war is a rare opportunity to make a fortune.
At such times, most lords will hire these usually dismissive third-rate people as a source of soldiers, and select some excellent mercenary knights from among them as their own vassals.
And for these bumpy and displaced employees, taking this opportunity to make a fortune, finding a master who can rely on to support themselves for a lifetime is also a thing they are very eager for.
That's right, it's that simple.
Everyone knows that the knightly class is the starting point of the aristocracy, but this sentence is not true, the mere knightly name cannot give the knight himself any wealth, and the daily consumption required to maintain this status also makes them have to do some things like being called around, running around, and even robbing houses.
Only by winning a piece of property and changing from a simple knight to a propertied knight can it be said that he has initially embarked on the road of nobility, but propertied knights cannot be regarded as complete nobles, because they do not have the right to hang people.
Therefore, the knights of this world are not so high, and most of the chivalry in the poems is just something that the children of the nobility can brag about, and for most of the civilian knights, they can't eat enough all day, and they sleep in the wilderness because they want to save money, how can they have the leisure to think about those things?
And although it has been more than six years since he crossed into this world, the black-haired boy who has never left his guardian is actually quite unfamiliar with all this, this ancient and simple medieval world in his perception seems so lively and lively at this time as he continues to hurry to observe it himself. Wildflowers swaying in the wind on the roadside, ox carts crunching, bleating sheep flocks, and even the simple smiles of peasant girls passing by......
It's a real world.
The boy sitting on horseback thought to himself, feeling the touch and temperature coming from the "woman" behind him, and he added secretly.
It's also a chaotic world.

At this time, it was the year 284 of Aegon's conquest calendar, and the autumn had come to an end, and the war had begun on the sea of the Western Summer Sea, and countless people had flocked to it, and countless people avoided it.
On a dim morning, the first snowflakes of winter drift down with a cold breeze.
