139 Letter from King's Landing

The atmosphere became dull at the last sentence, and then, under Vilas's surprised gaze, Lan Li groaned for a while, and finally agreed to his proposal.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" He asked curiously.

"I'm going to see what this sea ghost looks like." Lan Li replied honestly.

White Gull Village, Jaspi, even though a long time had passed and information was not very important to him, he still remembered what these two were from the corner of his memory.

When he first entered the drowning dungeon, he met a boy from the same village named Jaspi, and his own name at the time was Hal and he was born in Baiou Village.

So the question is, why did the person in the dungeon, or the person who had died, suddenly appear in the real world and become a so-called sea ghost?

Is it because that Jaspi turned into a sea ghost in the original history, or is there something quietly happening in this world that he doesn't understand?

He couldn't help but think of the followers of the so-called Children of the Drowning God......

This question seemed to be important, so Lan Li changed her attention.

However, before that, he needs to make a lot of considerations and preparations, for example, if he really goes to sea with him, will the curse on his body occur?

For example, how do you convince Duke Tyrell to agree to let him in?

In his opinion, the brown-haired boy's plan to "gather a crowd to petition" has a very low probability of success, so Lan Li has no hope for this, or rather, it is the same as Zaijun's temporary treatment, and under normal circumstances, he does not want to leave this castle, so he can only use abnormal methods......

Thinking thoughtfully, Lan Li said goodbye to Vilas, who was overjoyed by the success of his persuasion, and returned to his room in the castle of the High Court, then took out a piece of parchment from the bookcase, and found a dagger to cut it to the right size.

Eventually, the boy sat down in his chair, picked up the quill on the desk, stained the ink in the bottle, and began to write on the letterhead.

At this time, the sky is approaching dusk, and the sunlight outside the window shines through the translucent pale green glass, which looks hazy and beautiful, and the lines of pure black lingua franca passages are bathed in light, looking like a wonderful riddle from the bottom of the hazy ocean.

As he continued to write, the rustle of the quill and the paper rubbed against each other, and the fine text gradually stained the entire length of the letterhead, and finally the black-haired boy took out the duke's seal of the Crown Buck from his trash can, stained it with red sealing wax, and stamped the letter, so that a very realistic-looking royal forged letter was done.

"I didn't expect that there would be such benefits without changing the coat of arms."

Muttering quietly, he temporarily put the letter on the desk, and then sat on the carpet surface in spite of the image, and then picked up the glass jar in the garbage can, and after looking at the mice that were breathing quietly, Lan Li took a deep breath, and then shook it vigorously.

Seagulls, tree stumps, books......

It wasn't until it turned into a dumbfounded crow that the black-haired boy stopped satisfied.

……

Early the next morning, in the room of the Bachelor's Tower, a balding middle-aged scholar was teaching and edifying about the outbreak of the war.

"The head of the rebels, Baron. Greyjoy's father, King Cologne, is a leader of the Iron Islands like no other. His goal was to integrate the Iron Islands into the Seven Kingdoms, and to this end, he not only hired scholars to serve in the Iron Islands, but also freed all slave laborers in the Iron Islands, collected heavy taxes from many of his vassals who forcibly took salt concubines, and actively participated in the wars of the Seven Kingdoms. ”

"This series of tactics is contrary to the ancient customs of the Iron Islands, and King Coron is clearly prepared to abandon the ancient path on which the Iron People once depended, and his wisdom and means are enough to suppress the dissatisfaction of his vassals."

"Unfortunately, before he could achieve his goal of domination, he died in the war against the Shield Islands." The bachelor said, sighing regretfully.

The Shield Islands are a series of archipelago off the western coastline of the High Court, guarding the river connected to the sea under the High Court Castle, that is to say, the entire High Court and the river bay.

During Robert's rebellion, the Iron Islands maintained a wait-and-see stance, and finally saw that the rebellion was almost victorious, so they belatedly sent a fleet to attack the riverlands, Robert's original enemy, and grasped the tail of the war.

It's a pity that they didn't have much success in the battle, and they didn't have much impact on the riverlands, not to mention, the king of Kologne, who wanted to abandon the ancient road of the Iron Islands, died in that war, so his eldest son, Baron, who admired the ancient road more. Greyjoy succeeded to the throne of Seastone.

Interestingly, the reason for King Cologne's participation in the war was instigated by his son.

"Cologne. Greyjoy was killed in battle by his eldest son, Baron. Greyjoy sits on the throne of the sea stone, but time is running out and his foundation is unstable, so how can he gain the support of his subordinates after becoming the new queen? ”

Facing the three students who were quietly listening, the bald maester analyzed: "A war, a war that shows a completely different goal from the goal of his father's rule, will make the ironmen who worship the ancient ways embrace Baron with all their might, and at the same time, the timing of the war seems to be just right shortly after King Robert's coronation." ”

"Cologne's peaceful reign is not short, and there should be many people who agree with his idea of integrating into the Seven Kingdoms, right?"

Lan Li, who was listening silently, suddenly asked, "How did Baron convince those lords to abandon Cologne's efforts in a short period of time and support him in his rebellion?" ”

The question involved the cause of the outbreak of war, and although Lan Li remembered that there was indeed such a war, he felt that it should not have broken out so early, and from the suspicion that had arisen yesterday, he always had a feeling that all this was not related to him, although he didn't think it made much sense.

"He definitely needs to win the support of those people, the Iron Islands Navy is very strong, but that is on the premise that all the Iron People are united. If you don't even appease your own nest, then it is particularly unwise to start a war, or rather, too risky. Vilas nodded in agreement.

"This question will have to wait until our war is won, and Baron himself will answer it himself." The bachelor said evasively, and then motioned for the end of today's class - he couldn't really think of it.

"I'm halfway through my plan, and I'm currently preparing to contact the two brothers, Brian and Edway from the Fossoway family." After the bald bachelor left, the brown-haired boy whispered to Lan Li.

"Just call me when you go to the petition." Lan Li replied.

"What are you talking about?" The little fat man on the side faintly felt that he was being excluded, but after the two of them looked at each other mysteriously, they did not answer his question, but stepped out of the room.

The little fat man pouted in frustration.

……

On the other side, after finishing his teaching, the bald maester Lomis walked up the stone steps to the raven's room, thinking about his three students as he went.

Young Master Villas is still as smart as ever, and the little duke of the Baratheon family has a very surprising vision and clear thinking, the only one who needs to take care of him is Young Master Garland, but Young Master Garland belongs to the second son, and now he is too young, so he doesn't need to learn much about some things......

Maybe this should be asked to the Duke?

Thinking about it, the violent impact of the bump at the door of his head made the bald bachelor pause, and when he looked up, he found that he had arrived at the door of the raven's room.

In addition to working as a doctor, the main part of the bachelor's daily work is to keep ravens in captivity and send and receive letters, but teaching is only a secondary task.

That's why Master Lomis runs to the Raven's Room a lot every day, and he also comes once after each teaching.

Raising his hand and rubbing his forehead in severe pain, the bachelor took out the door key to open the lock, and the chaotic noise and shouting came to his face.

As far as the eye can see, there are rows of dung-dyed crow cages in the brightly lit messy room, and now there are countless little black eyes staring at themselves in the cages, and occasionally a few are chirping and shouting bald, bald, bald!

"If I find out that some obnoxious guy taught you this, I'll have to shave his head."

He muttered, and suddenly saw a strange raven standing on the table by the window not far away, the petite size of which made him feel a little strange, but the symbol tied to the raven's legs made the bald bachelor recognize it at a glance - the bird was from King's Landing.

"What has the king commanded again? Or is it the correspondence of the Fellows of the Pythiel Fellows? He secretly guessed, and as he approached, he took the unusually honest raven in his hand, and pulled out the letter tied to the raven's leg with a strange attitude.

Spread out and stared, and after a moment, the bald bachelor couldn't help frowning.

"What a ridiculous decision."

Shaking his head, he put the letter away, and then shut the honest raven in an empty cage, and hurried out of the place, ready to report the matter to the Duke.
