As we progressed, the weather around us gradually became colder, but it was not that it was getting colder the further south we went, but that autumn was coming.

The climate of this world is very peculiar, and there is no pattern in the change of seasons, for example, this summer has lasted for nearly two years, and in Lan Li's impression, there have been two years of winter full of snow.

Summer and winter are the themes of this world, while autumn and spring are relatively short.

The carriage moved slowly, stopping at many castles in the riverbend, and by the time the team reached the High Court, the "first fort" of the riverbank, it had already passed more than a month.

The team was huge, and there were always soldiers sent by the lords of the riverlands to protect them along the way, so there were no surprises.

Except for Lan Li's left hand.

The onset of the chaotic mark could not be controlled, and it could not be predicted before the attack, and even Lan Li was a little cautious about peeing, and her daily life was seriously affected.

He wears gloves, but sometimes this ability ignores the presence of gloves, and sometimes acts directly on them, and then he finds a way that is not the way, and that is to wear two layers of gloves.

This method sounds quite unreliable, but it is unexpectedly effective in actual use, and although Lan Li is puzzled by this, he is somewhat relieved.

Aside from the trouble with his left hand, all that was left was the tiredness that emerged from the successive journeys.

The journey for more than a month was tireless, even if he always stopped to participate in the grand banquets held by the major families in the Riverlands, fortunately, Lan Li's physique was much better than before, and he was not sick in the face of this long journey, but Duke Tyrelll, who was traveling with him, accidentally contracted a cold on the way.

However, because of the frailty of the children, the group was accompanied by the bachelors of the Riverbend Realm, which did not make the Duke's illness worse, so when they arrived at their destination, the Duke of Tyrrell's illness was almost cured.

……

The High Court is the most beautiful castle in the Seven Kingdoms.

This sentence is the most heard sentence by Lan Li on the road, and he was a little unimpressed before, but now he believes it.

The carriage was in the middle of a hilly field, and at the end of the view, the castle made of white marble was perched on a high hill with a gentle slope, surrounded by three successive upward walls. As far as the eye can see, towers, green plants, fortresses, ...... The rows of buildings have a peculiar aesthetic to them, and they are clearly carefully designed.

Outside the castle, the ground is surrounded by a dense pine forest, with many watchtowers, and as the team leaves the wilderness and enters the forest, a wide river gradually emerges.

Under the sun, the river flows brightly at the end of the pine forest, among which the boats are leisurely, the forest island is green, and the white castle called the High Court stands quietly on the other side of the river, like a city-state inhabited by forest elves.

The castle is not only beautiful, but also very large, with buildings arranged along the surface of the hills, and at first glance it can even be called a small town.

In reality, however, it was nothing more than a castle inhabited by the Tyrells.

In contrast, Storm's Rest is a turtle.

Lan Li thought to herself.

The procession through the pine forest finally stopped at the bank of the river in front of the castle, where a straight stone bridge spanned the entire river and connected to the gates of the castle's first rampart on the opposite bank.

The surrounding birdsong is bursting, and the clear river on both sides is not fast or slow. At the end of the stone bridge is the entrance to the castle of the High Court, because someone has already been announced, so the gate has been opened at this time, and there are a group of nobles and men in bright clothes standing in front of the door.

The number of people who greeted him was huge, and it looked grand, but this was normal, after all, Lan Li did not represent himself, but the king behind him.

"Welcome, Lord Lanli, we have been looking forward to your presence for a long time." Approaching, a beautiful woman with long silver hair saluted the black-haired boy with her skirt.

"Just call me Lan Li, ma'am."

The black-haired boy bowed in return, and said with a serious face, "Don't call me an adult, that's too troublesome, I haven't been a child enough." ”

The immature voice was full of serious emotions, which eased the rusty atmosphere a lot, and the silver-haired woman smiled slightly when she heard this, and the few people next to her also showed a smile.

"Come, Lan Li, let me introduce you, this is my beloved Lady Ellery, this is my eldest son Villas, and this little fat man, my second son Garland, this is ......"

The joy of returning home made the Duke of Metz particularly enthusiastic, and every time he introduced someone, Lan Li would politely salute the other party, showing great humility and politeness.

This is the attitude it should be.

Although it is said that with the high court feudal monarch Mace. Tyrells are both dukes, but in reality the two are very far apart.

Lan Li's title just sounds good, and the territory and strength he really has are probably not as good as the vassals of the other party's vassals.

Up and down the Seven Kingdoms, the High Court, or the riverbend land behind it, basically belongs to a large area with the strongest comprehensive strength, not to mention the small broken island of Lanli, even the storm land of Baratheon can't compare to others.

In the continent of Westeros, the riverbends have the largest population, the most prosperous spiritual civilization, and the richest land. And if it weren't for the abundance of gold mines in the Western Territory, even the Fortune River Bay would have to be ranked first.

In contrast, the stormlands adjacent to the riverbend are simply shabby, climate and geography problems, the lords of the stormlands are poor one by one, and the feudal lord Baratheon's family also has no money to go-

Lan Li had long suspected that the Seven Kingdoms were the poorest in the Storm Lands except for the Northern Territories.

……

"Mother is waiting in the banquet hall with a leg problem, where we have already prepared a welcome dinner."

After greeting each other, they walked through the castle gates and walked along a green road full of thorns and hedges, said the hostess of the High Court.

"I hope Lady Olenna won't be impatient to wait." Lan Li stuck out her tongue when she heard this: "I heard that she doesn't have a good temper." ”

The boy looked a little apprehensive, and the people around him couldn't help but laugh at this, and a neatly dressed thin boy laughed when he heard this: "Grandmother has a bad temper, but I think she just likes to tell the truth, which is inevitably hurtful sometimes." ”

This is the eldest son of the Duke of Metz and the heir to the High Court, Vilas. Tyrrell, a mild-looking teenager, was a few years older than Lan Li, and the brown-haired little fat man beside him looked as big as Lan Li.

"For example, she has always disliked Garland's size, and she will say a few words if she has nothing to do."

The elder brother's words made the little fat man with a round belly look over resentfully.

"Vilas, don't always laugh at me in front of guests, okay?"

"My good brother, you know what ridicule is—" The brown-haired boy replied with a smile, "What is telling the truth." ”

These words made the little fat man puff out his face angrily, and the people other than him were very happy to watch, and Lan Li on the side felt that the two brothers were very interesting.

He wasn't very familiar with either of them, as they weren't in the show he had seen in his previous life, but they were actually the first of the next generation of the Tyrells.

In contrast, one of the little that Lan Li knew was just learning to walk at this time, and was being followed by the Duchess with a lot of effort, and the other was just a baby girl in swaddling clothes, who was being held in the arms of the nurse and fell asleep.
