298 Birds and Snakes
Lan Li didn't know exactly what was going on outside, he just felt the boat under his feet shaking more and more in the room, and the dazzling lightning in front of him became more and more powerful.
And the sound like a birdsong also faintly made him feel a throbbing in his body, as if something was constantly being pulled away, making him faintly feel empty.
If Lan Li could see his attribute bar at this time, then he would find that the curse attribute of the ember he possessed had become thinner and thinner, and finally completely dissipated.
However, just as this characteristic disappeared, when the birdsong was loud to a certain extent, a blue flame suddenly ignited on Lan Li's left wrist, and it suddenly pounced on the bird's skull floating in mid-air!
This change caught Lan Li off guard, and what was even more amazing was what happened next-
After being hit by lightning, the flame turned into a blue "snake shadow", and at the same time, a black bird shadow suddenly appeared in the bird's skull, stopping the snake shadow group that was rushing in, and then the two were entangled together!
The shadow of the bird is like black smoke, and the shadow of the snake is like blue smoke, and the two are mixed and entangled with bursts of smoke, as if two natural mortal enemies are fighting to the death.
There was a faint roar and scream in the ears, and the smoke shadows of the snake and the bird were in the thunder and lightning, one appearing in the eye sockets of the bird's skull, and the other appearing above the bird's beak, fluctuating, as if it could teleport.
They were clearly fighting, and it made the electric light, which had grown stronger, tremble and become extremely unstable.
However, the changes came and went quickly, and after a few rounds, the "snake shadow" entangled the bird shadow and suddenly broke away from the lightning ball, appeared on the left wrist of the stunned Lan Li, and ignored the bird shadow's "scream", and rushed back into the Naga mark on the wrist with it!
The bright, even dazzling light in the room suddenly dissipated, the thunder and lightning dissipated, and the bird's skull floating out of thin air instantly turned into a handful of black dust and fell on the wooden tabletop.
In the outside world, the raging storm suddenly slowed down, and quickly dissipated under everyone's blank gaze.
It seemed that after only ten minutes, the rain around him stopped, the dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and the not bright but warm sunlight broke through the clouds, making the faces of the chicken-like sailors on the deck excited, and they were glad that they had escaped.
And in the sea far away from this ship, the people of the Iron Islands, who had witnessed this miraculous change, were silent.
As veteran sailors, they are well aware of the strangeness of this storm, and the scattering is also very abnormal.
Coupled with the characters present in that ship, it seems that the truth is self-evident-
I am afraid that the man in the ship is really their son of the drowning god.
Such a spectacle was naturally unusual, and in their cognition, only the son of the drowning god more than ten years ago could lead to this kind of scene, plus some news they had learned before, the people of the Iron Islands who came to greet them no longer had any suspicions.
Even those who had been dismissive of it were now in awe, and those who were already devout believers shouted that the evil god of storms had no match for the great power of the drowning gods, and some fell to their knees in the direction of the sun-drenched ship, muttering prayers in a frenzy.
Uncle Eren beside him was silently praying with joy on his face, but at this time, the black-haired girl Asha had lost her previous hesitation and immediately ordered the sailors to set sail and immediately lean over to meet Miko-sama.
They were fast, even impatient, and not too far away, so that the ships were "surrounded" by the fleet of the Iron Islands before they had finished sorting out the ships that had been confused by the storm.
After some negotiations, the leader of the group, Asha, a dark-haired girl, and her uncle Iron, led by the captain, step into the cabin to meet their Miko-sama.
At this time, Lan Li was studying the new changes in his wrist, but he didn't expect the people of the Iron Islands to come so quickly. The emaciated look on the face of the drowning priest Elen, who was thin and had long dark hair, made him a little uncomfortable.
"Miko-sama, you're finally back! We have been looking forward to you for ten years, ten years! ”
"How could you be Baratheon? No, no, no, it doesn't matter, I mean, you're not leaving when you come back this time, are you? ”
"I can't wait to hear from you!"
……
This person immediately knelt on the ground when he saw Lan Li, his expression seemed to be more excited than seeing him, but as a senior "pseudo-god stick", Lan Li was actually more familiar with this kind of thing, and at the same time, this mission to the Iron Islands was originally intended to be carried out as the "son of the drowned god", of course he would not deny anything.
However, compared to the brainless priest who was excited as if he was about to faint when he saw him, he preferred to talk to the other leader of the Iron Islands, not because the other party was a fairly beautiful girl, but mainly because she was able to speak normally and her eyes were not so hot.
"My father is sick and his legs are inconvenient, so he sent me to meet you."
……
"Yes, he hasn't been in good health all these years."
……
"Identity? We've established that you're indeed the Son of the Drowning God, and we don't need to be sure of anything more. ”
……
During the conversation, a large group of people gathered around the cabin, but no one dared to come over to disturb them, because they had not yet reached the Iron Islands, so Lan Li did not mention the matter, and the other party did not ask.
At the same time, it may be that Lan Li's appearance is very recognizable, or it may be that the previous situation has determined something for the people of the Iron Islands, in short, Lan Li's identity has not been questioned.
After some negotiations, he moved to the fleet of the Iron Islands with his envoy team, and the escorted Lannister ships were driven back to Westeros by the captain's impatience -
It's a storm and a god, but not everyone is fanatical about it, and if they don't know the details, they will be afraid or even retreat.
So after some twists and turns, the envoy continued to move in the direction of the Iron Islands.
After initial contact with the people of the Iron Islands, Lan Li could find that these people did not all welcome his visit, but had three different emotions.
One was a warm, even fanatical, welcome, believing that his return (which they believed was) would surely bring new hope to the Iron Islands.
The other is resistance, although it is not shown on the surface, but the emotions can be clearly perceived by Lan Li, some people are not devout about his identity as the son of the drowning god, but are more concerned about his current origin in Baratheon, and more worried that Lan Li will force the Iron Islands to make a choice because of this.
The last one is naturally not fanatical or worried, and maintains a neutral wait-and-see attitude.
Lan Li actually expected this, in fact, he originally thought that his identity as the son of the drowning god would be questioned, but he didn't expect to be recognized so easily.
Because in his mind, those who do not want to participate in the war will inevitably question his identity as the son of the drowning god, because only questioning will make it easier to dispel the purpose of Lan Li's visit.
Maybe someone won't jump out until they get to the Iron Islands?
He thought to himself, and silently prepared.
However, the second half of the journey did not seem to stop, and an accident occurred early the next morning when the mission was transferred to the ships of the Iron Islands.
