The thunder roared like the angry roar of a god in the clouds, and the fierce winds over the dark ocean and the torrential rain were like shuttles, occasionally accompanied by bursts of pale electric light, illuminating the two chicken-like figures in the turbulent waters.

The broken planks that had been used to survive had been swept away by the waves and disappeared nowhere, and most of the food and supplies they were carrying behind had been washed away, leaving the two of them holding in their arms with great difficulty, but they could not bring any comfort.

The sound of the sea jolting and swaying around him, and the sound of a raging storm filled the world, and Rhaenys, who was tightly tied to the rope beside him, said something to Lan Li, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

He then poked his head out and shouted in his ear, "Are we going to die?" ”

"Probably not dead!" Lan Li shouted back to the beautiful woman with short silver-blonde hair close to her face in front of her, but before she could finish speaking, a huge wave struck, and the two were completely swallowed by the sea.

The storm on the surface of the sea did not stop, but intensified, the vast sea shook violently, and the violent turbulence below the surface of the sea was like a strong wave of air, washing everything inside and around, and finally I didn't know where I was.

Time passed, and the turbulence of the sea continued, until the storm slowly stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky quietly dissipated, and a ray of sunlight pierced the clouds and shone on the surface of the sea somewhere, and continued to spread.

Eventually, when the clouds cleared, the dark sea had turned blue—

It turned out that it was already dawn.

……

In the middle of the sea, on the beach of an island overgrown with palm trees, the waves washed over two uninvited guests who were tied together with ropes.

After lying motionless on the beach for a long time, one of the slender figures trembled and untied the ropes, struggled to his feet, and staggered towards the end of the sand, while the other was still trembling and slumped there with his arms in his arms, drenched and wet, as if there was ice ballast against his face and exposed skin.

Although the sun around him was bright, it couldn't dispel the coldness that filled his body, and even after half a day, he didn't move his body even once.

It wasn't long before the figure that had left before returned, and then sat down beside the trembling man, his voice hoarse and desperate.

"I'm afraid this is a desert island, and I don't see any signs of human life."

"It's better to have a desert island than to fall into the hands of the enemy." The black-haired man on the beach trembled and said that after a long day of sunshine, he seemed to have regained some strength, so he struggled to stand up and sat on the sand with his face on his back.

"But we don't have food or water." Rhaenys muttered, "Even if there is prey to fight here, should we eat raw meat?" ”

Without speaking, Lan Li trembled and handed the other party a brown-black leather bag with the belt untied. Rhaenys took it and opened it to find a flint and two silver daggers inside, which made her look up at each other in surprise.

"You expected that?"

"I could have expected it early, how could I have fallen into such a place." Lan Li, who was pale, replied tremblingly.

The continuous diving was obviously beyond the upper limit of his system, and even at this time he felt that the cold had penetrated into his bone marrow, and the cold hit his brain, and he refused to dissipate for a long time.

Lan Li seriously suspected that if this was his real body, then after such a fuss, he would definitely fall into some difficult disease, which made him vigilant and decided to be more leisurely outside the dungeon.

Rhaenys didn't know what the other party was thinking at this time, and when she saw that his expression was different, she couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

"What, you regret it?"

"That's right." Lan Li nodded with difficulty: "We should walk along the seaside, or think of some other way, taking the sea route is definitely a bad choice." ”

Rhaenys was stunned for a moment, then abruptly changed the subject.

"That's how you saved me in the first place?"

"What?"

"You know what I'm talking about."

"I don't have time to play pantomime with you." After rubbing her hands together, Lan Li stood up unsteadily and began to slowly pace up the beach.

By this time he had long since lost his boots, and his bare feet looked very comfortable on the soft sand, but the breeze blowing from the left near the ocean always made him shiver, so he walked towards the depths of the sand.

"Is it really just for the dragon eggs?" Staring at each other's backs, the little queen looked in a trance.

Dragon eggs are precious, but they are not the same as dragons, unless you have the blood of the Valylian dragon king, you can't hatch a dragon even if you get a dragon egg.

And even if it can hatch, without the corresponding bloodline, it will not be able to control the dragon at all.

Although because of the scarcity, dragon eggs can be exchanged for a lot of wealth, but if it is really for money, it is not much better than dragon eggs to ask directly?

As she pondered, a thought flashed through her, and Rhaenys couldn't help but shout at the figure pacing back and forth at the end of her sight.

"Did you know me before?"

"Sort of." The voice was faint when it came from afar.

"I saw you in books."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that someone wrote about you in a book, and then I saw it."

Rhaenys frowned, and a sudden anger suddenly appeared in her heart, so she got up and patted her ass and walked briskly towards where the other party was.

"How many of your words are true?"

"I forgot what I said." Lan Li, who was at the end of the beach, replied, and he was walking back and forth to speed up the blood flow in his body to dispel the cold.

"You said you were a Dorn."

"Isn't that obvious?"

"Then you say, where is the territory of the Kogger family in Dorne? What is their coat of arms? ”

"In Sandstone City, west of Dorne, the coat of arms is a three-headed black scorpion on a red background."

"The Vail family?"

"Along the Bone Road, the family castle is called Vale, near the Dorne Frontier."

"What about the Dane family?"

"Starfall, west of Dorne, the edge of the Summer's Sea." Lan Li said, looked at the person who walked in front of him, and couldn't help but say, "If you're bored, why don't you try those spells in your family, maybe any of them can take effect, and then solve the current problem." ”

"How far is Starfall from Fort Hellgate? Or how long does it take to walk? And who is the patriarch? You said you were from Starfall City! Rhaenys ignored Lan Li's words, and asked with a glare.

This question made Lan Li blink.

Most of Westeros' families have more than a thousand years of history, so much of what he has learned is applicable now, but what he has learned does not mean that he has actually been exposed to it.

No matter how much he learned in writing, he could not know how far away from which unless it was written in the book.

However, he didn't, or even if he did, he didn't learn.

So Lan Li frowned and said, "You have bad breath, you haven't brushed your teeth for a few days?" ”

These words made the serious Rhaenys' face turn red for a moment, and then angrily grabbed the collar of Lan Li's linen clothes and pulled them to his eyes.

"Don't try to change the subject! Tell me, who the hell are you? ”

It was this kind of tremendous strength again, Lan Li found that although the other party looked like a weak woman, his strength was very great, and even he couldn't break free in the face of this close face at this time.

"What does it matter? It doesn't matter. He felt that the other party was too emotional, so he reminded him.

"I promised to save you out, you promised to give me dragon eggs, it's a very simple thing."

The little queen was stunned when she heard this, then suddenly let go of her hand, took two steps back and looked at Lan Li quietly.

"Do you really think I'm going to give you dragon eggs? Or do you really think I'm going to keep my word? ”

"You swore it."

"I don't believe in any gods, and neither do the dragon kings of Valyria." Her tone seemed a little strange, "Even if I break my oath, who will punish me?" ”

"You swore with your family's honor."

"Only my brother cares about the so-called honor." She said, "Can it be eaten?" Or can you kill the enemy for us? ”

"I saved you." Lan Li said: "You can't be ungrateful. ”

"There are many ways to repay, but it won't be a dragon egg."

"So you're going to pay the bills?"

"Of course, I'm telling you for the record, I didn't intend to keep my promise at all." Rhaenys nodded calmly.

"So what can you do with me?"

Lan Li touched his chin and didn't answer the question, but looked at each other strangely.

"Why do you say this now? You can keep it from me. ”

"Does it still matter?" The little queen asked rhetorically, scanning the surroundings, her voice bitter, "We have been floating on the sea for so long, we don't know where this is at all." And even we don't know where this island is, and who will? Who will come to our rescue? If you can't fulfill your promise, I won't be able to give you dragon eggs again. ”

"Not necessarily." Lan Li shrugged, "Maybe a ship will pass by here in a few days." ”

"I don't think I'm going to be that lucky." Rhaenys sneered, "You know, the adult dragon doesn't have any weaknesses other than its eyes, but they just shot it in the eyes!" ”

"It doesn't mean much."

"And what about that weird old man? What about the storm? A storm may have been accidental, and we encountered two in a row! ”

Lan Li unconsciously coughed dryly when he heard this.

He suspected that the storm might have been caused by himself, though he wasn't sure why.

But he couldn't tell the other party, so he comforted: "Don't worry, there will be a way." ”

"What's the solution?" The other party asked.

"Not yet, but there will be."

didn't speak, Rhaenys looked at Lan Li in silence, until the other party frowned unconsciously, she suddenly spoke: "I told you that I won't give you dragon eggs, but you weren't angry at all." But you keep claiming that you only saved me because of the dragon egg, do you think that's normal? ”

"If you really don't give it to me, what can I do?"

"So I look like a fool?" The sharp question made Lan Li raise an eyebrow, but after Queen Rhaenys took a deep breath, her voice calmed down.

"I've just checked, and from here to the other side of the island, it's only a mile at most, and I haven't seen any prey, and I haven't seen any water. It is surrounded by the sea, and there is no shadow of the land at all. How long do you think we can live in this situation? ”

"Are you scared?"

"Aren't you afraid?"

Lan Li didn't answer, but looked sideways into the depths of the island.

No wonder the other party is emotional, this island is really a very small island, from the edge of the beach here, over a shore stone, you can even dimly see the coastline at the end of the opposite shore.

A ring of sand surrounds the island, and there are some dense straight palm trees growing inside, and there is no sign of any animal in the forest from the cracks in the forest......

"I can try to catch fish." He turned back to the other party and said, "We have flints, we have daggers, and we have trees here, so don't worry about food." ”

"What about the water?"

"I'll go into the woods and take a closer look later." Lan Li replied, "Maybe you will find some thirst-quenching plants." ”

Rhaenys didn't speak, looked at him quietly for a while, and suddenly lowered her head and muttered, "Why have you always been so confident?" Don't you feel hopeless at all? Fallen, captured, shipwrecked, storm, island...... We've been unlucky, but you've never complained. Even with food and water, do you really think we'll get through it? ”

"There is always hope for survival." Lan Li replied, seeing that the other party was silent and did not speak again, he patted his arm for comfort, and then looked around.

The island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, the edge is turquoise, the periphery is blue, and beyond there is no shadow of any land or other islands, only the deep blue sea stretches endlessly to the end of the sight, and I don't know where I am, as if the island has become the whole world.

Lan Li frowned.

The reason why he was not affected by circumstances and bred emotions such as boredom and even despair was simple, he was not from here.

And this also reminded him of those three things unconsciously.

The first thing has already been completed, and the second thing doesn't have to worry, although it feels like time is a little messy, but it's probably estimated that there should be a few days left in the month.

Only this last one......

Thinking about it, Lan Li looked up at the sky.

"It's all here, why can't you give up?" He muttered, thoughtful.

At this time, the sun is high overhead, the cloudless sky shows the sunshine and brightness of the storm just after the storm, the light from the sky is warm and pleasant, and the sea breeze blows on the face, bringing a hint of salty smell and coolness......
