It's actually easy to get rid of a drunken drunkard, just hide in the shadows of the nearest corner by virtue of your height, and then watch the other person hurry downstairs.

However, just as the other party saw, Lan Li really didn't plan to go back to the room. Instead, he was going to visit the Zedi.

That's right, visit.

He's prepared to visit openly, not sneakily or whatever.

Because that's not necessary.

That unique fragrance could only be smelled by him, and who could have imagined what his purpose and intentions were?

However, Lan Li was not prepared to go alone, because it would "not stretch", so he first ran to a certain floor of the tower, called Fat Dun Erin and Skinny Bamboo Pole Berry, and then continued to walk down.

"Why are we going to find that Zedi?" Fat Dun asked as he yawned.

Children love to sleep, and although this one is happy to participate in the lively banquet, he leaves the stage earlier than Lan Li.

"I've heard that the Zedi people eat frogs." The thin bamboo pole next to him also complained: "And it's all mud." ”

"Haven't you heard he knows magic?" Lan Li flickered casually: "How can you not see this kind of thing?" ”

"The Oldtown Scholars have said that magic is bluffing." Berry was dismissive of this, and Fat Dun shrank his neck when he heard this, "You mean witch?" I'm not going! Witches are so scary! ”

He said this, but he didn't turn around and left, obviously still having a certain curiosity about it, Lan Li then added.

"I've heard he can make frogs talk."

Fat Dun really took the bait when he heard this, and when he saw Lan Li raise his feet and continue to walk forward, he unconsciously followed.

"Really?"

"I've heard about it, too, so I'm going to see it, and it's full of people living around, so what's there to be afraid of......

The child's conversation grew away with the sound of footsteps.

……

The central tower of Storm's Rest was tall and huge, and even the storage armory and other things were all in this building, and at this time, in the upper area of the tower, Lan Li could not hear the noise of the banquet at the bottom.

There were no servants with them, because there were so many people attending the banquet that the servants were all busy on the ground—they needed to serve not only the northern lords and nobles, but also the riders and knights of the various families, the attendants of the relevant families, and many ordinary soldiers.

In fact, the banquet in the hall on the first floor was only the centerpiece, and the many courtyards outside the tower were also filled with fires and tents, and the sound of noise and the smell of food filled the castle.

With a large number of people, there are many problems, such as the shortage of accommodation in the castle.

However, that was only for ordinary soldiers, as one of the main lords of the north, the Zedi man Lan Li had seen before had his own single room.

After following the fragrance to find the other party's living room, Lan Li raised her hand and knocked on the door. In a few moments, the heavy, old wooden door creaked open, and an emaciated face with long brown hair peeked out.

"Hello, Lord Reed." Lan Li greeted him.

Lan Li, who was familiar with the family crests of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, knew very well which family the coat of arms that the other party wore before represented - the Li De family of Gray Water Wang, who ruled the entire neck.

"Hello, kid." Zedi looked strangely at the three children running outside the door with his dark green eyes, "Are you lost?" ”

"We're here to visit you, my lord." Lan Li replied, and then the fat dun next to him couldn't wait to ask without his signal.

"Do you really know magic? Let the frogs talk? When Fat Dun spoke, there was still some vigilance in those small eyes, but more curiosity.

"Who are you listening to?" The other party couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

As a swamp dweller, he knew how the Seven Kingdoms were perceived in all parts of the Kingdom, with strange customs, frog-eaters, clay figurines, and sneaky people......

However, this does not include magic.

"Master Clison said it." Fat Dun spoke without hesitation -

That's what he believed, but if the other party continued to ask, then Fat Dun would reply that it was Lan Li who said Master Clison and not that he heard it directly.

However, the Zedi did not ask, but rubbed his rough cheeks and patiently explained: "I don't know magic, your maestro may tell you some legends and anecdotes, but this kind of story is everywhere in Westeros. ”

"What kind of legend?" The little fat man asked entanglementally.

He had heard Lan Li say before that even if the other party knew magic, he would not admit it directly. And the other party looked short and thin at this time, and he was not terrible at all, so he was unconsciously bold.

"The legend of the Children of the Forest, of course."

"What are the Children of the Forest?"

"Of course the son of the forest is the son of the forest......" It seems that he has never met such a broken child, and the short Zedi man is a little uncomfortable, but he seems to have a good personality and still explains patiently.

When the other party spoke, Lan Li kept staring at his open and closed mouth, but the fragrance was not more serious because of this, and it was not the same as the former head of Wind's Breath.

Then he realized that what he was looking for was not teeth, but something else.

Lan Li then focused on the chest of the other party's gray linen shirt, where there was an embroidered lizard coat of arms that looked very similar to a crocodile, and after observing for a few seconds, the psychic properties were activated, and the originally motionless "crocodile" stared at Lan Li with its empty eyes, and its black silk body began to emit a faint green light.

But before Lan Li could figure out what this meant, Zedi suddenly stopped speaking, and then his eyes strangely scanned the dark corridor outside the door, and after finding nothing unusual, he turned his head to look inside.

What did he find?

Lan Li was startled when he saw this, but then his blue eyes looked at the other party's dagger pinned to the back of the waist.

A wooden dagger in a faded cowhide sheath, from which the fragrance emanated!

With his mind racing, Lan Li suddenly spoke, "Lord Li De, can you show me this dagger?" ”

"Dagger?" Hearing this, the other party turned his head to look at him, and then smiled: "This can't be done, this dagger is very sharp, you can't touch it." ”

Lan Li felt that this matter was a bit difficult to do, but he didn't give up: "Can I wear gloves, or just touch the handle?" ”

Unfortunately, the other party still did not let go, but squinted his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Why are you looking at my dagger, child?" ”

Lan Li said honestly: "Because I feel that it is very special. ”

The other party was stunned when he heard this: "Why do you say that?" ”

"I don't know, it's just a feeling."

The black-haired boy had a serious face, blinking to see how the other would react, but unfortunately this one was not in the limelight.

He didn't ask anything more, nor did he agree to let Lan Li look at the dagger, but only gave the boy a deep look.

"It's nothing special, just a bronze dagger. Kid, maybe you're wrong. ”

As he spoke, he glanced around again, and said casually, "Now, please allow me to go back to my room to rest, children, the march is long and tiring. ”

Lan Li was a little reluctant to this, but he still nodded very simply and said goodbye politely: "Thank you, my lord, I wish you a good dream." ”

He said that, led the two friends and turned away. Behind him, the door slammed shut without hesitation.

"He doesn't know magic at all." After walking away, Fat Dun complained, "And I feel that he is very timid, as if he is afraid that someone will suddenly come out of the corridor and scare him." ”

"He's small." Thin bamboo pole snorted: "It's the same as those wizards who say they can do magic, but wizards can't even block a knight's blow, and when I was in Black Harbor, I saw a ...... in a red robe"

Lan Li didn't listen to what they said, he was thinking about how to get the dagger in his hands.

The previous words were just tentative, if the other party didn't cherish the dagger, he could try to ask for it directly, but unfortunately the situation was completely opposite to what he expected.

The soft one can't work, do you want to come to the hard one?

Thinking like this, Lan Li couldn't help but touch his chest, under the soft green velvet fabric, a ring bulge made him feel a little comforted, but he also hesitated.

That Zedi man doesn't seem to be simple.

……

Whether Lan Li wanted to take a risk or hesitated, reality did not give him a chance to launch his "ultimate".

Because when he woke up the next day, he suddenly found that he couldn't smell that smell.

Then he heard about something.

"The Zedi are gone?"

Lan Li, who was bending down to put on his boots, made a gesture, then looked up at Jomi, the servant who had come running to call him for breakfast.

"Yes, Lord Stark is gone with several other lords from the north." The short servant nodded, "Before dawn, I saw that they left the city early, and they didn't bring the army, so I don't know why I'm in such a hurry." ”

Lan Li sighed when she heard this, feeling helpless.

Time is too short to do anything.

"I'll talk about it when he comes back." He pondered.

The army of the northerners is still in the Storm's End, and as one of the main lords of the north, it is impossible for the Zedi not to return, unless......

However, this idea was soon disrupted by a sudden event.

"To King's Landing?"

In the bachelor's room, the black-haired boy couldn't help frowning at Master Crison's words.
