Lan Li was indeed not concealed.

Arriving at Pike Island, and learning of Baron's disappearance, he learned that Baron was still alive.

After all, although the ability to touch the imprint and then "read the mind" was weakened and scattered because there were too many targets, it did not disappear directly. Touch it a few times and you'll always hit the target you want.

Lan Li just can't use this to "read minds" for a long time.

So he knew very clearly that King Balon of the Iron Islands was still alive, and was clearly avoiding him.

In addition, Lan Li also found that his arrival did not cause onlookers or too obvious movements, and when he got off the boat and went from the harbor to the castle of the Greyjoy family, he did not provoke many onlookers.

This proves that the letters from the Iron Throne were not known to the general public.

Why is this happening?

The two things were mixed together, which made Lan Li learn a lot.

For example, the Baron, or the aristocratic forces behind the Baron, did not welcome his arrival.

But they can't influence the thoughts of ordinary iron people, or rather, they are very jealous of the prestige of their son of the drowning god among the people.

This proves that in the past ten years, the flooded priests on the island seem to have done a lot of things.

How many things have been done?

Lan Li has no way of knowing.

Although there was a drowning priest named Erun in the fleet that greeted him, this drowning priest who had been revived by Lan Li was even a little too pious, and he could be called a god-believing brainless, and his words were not nutritious.

But it won't take long for him to learn, because with the return of the emissaries, it is impossible for the nobles to completely gag the many sailors in the fleet, so the news of their arrival will inevitably be exposed.

However, Lan Li didn't pay much attention to this.

Even if the common people supported him again, the Iron Islands would not be able to join the war at all, because the resources and power were completely controlled by the lords and nobles.

Therefore, if you want to achieve your goals, you must gain the support of the nobles.

Similarly, although Lan Li knew that Baron was deliberately hiding from him, he had no intention of debunking it—the purpose of the trip was to fight all the lords of the Lattie Islands, not just Greyjoy.

Even if Baron is captured, even if the one who agrees to send troops because of his own existence, without the support of other nobles, it is only limited to the Greyjoy family who will obey orders.

And with the power of the Greyjoy family alone, it's hard to say what will happen.

As for letting Baron order the other nobles to join in the war?

That's obviously impossible.

The lords are loyal to the feudal monarch, but they are not brainless allegiance, and when the feudal monarch's orders are detrimental to their own interests, they will not pay attention to them, and even explicitly resist them.

Just like when Robert started a rebellion, some of the vassals under the command of the Arryn family, whether it was the Stormlands of his own family or the Vale, stood up to be clearly hostile.

So if you want the Iron Islands to really join the fight, not perfunctory or resistant, then you have to make everyone willing.

How can we get them willingly?

Lan Li didn't think of it for the time being, in his opinion, if he encountered this kind of thing, he would choose to wait and see from the side like the Iron Islands, so that he wouldn't be stupid and rashly mixed in.

Because this will not bring any benefits, but may make your own strength greatly damaged.

Therefore, after arriving in the Iron Islands, Lan Li did not do anything related to the mission, did not take the initiative to visit anyone, and did not have a tough attitude, and even simply stayed in the castle of the Greyjoy family, quietly watching the people of the Greyjoy family pretend or sincerely busy looking for their own Balon King.

In addition to thinking about countermeasures, Lan Li also paid attention to the changes in the two divinities on his wrist after they fused.

As the days passed, he felt the marks on his wrist change from chaotic to clear, as if to prove that the change was about to be completed.

Left and right couldn't think of a way to complete the task for the time being, so Lan Li's attention was drawn to the past.

……

While Ranley was a quiet guest of the Greyjoy family, news of his arrival on Pike Island continued to spread from the mouths of the many sailors who greeted him, and then throughout the Iron Islands.

A tumultuous upheaval ensued!

The quickest reaction was the many Drowning Priests, and when they learned that Lan Li had appeared in Pike City, most of the Drowned Priests immediately put down their work and rushed towards the location of Pike City in a small boat.

Although more than ten years is a long time, the people of Drowned have not forgotten what happened back then, and even more -

Over the years, the Drowned priests have used the Son of the Drowned God to preach to the people, and even the belief in the Seven Gods that still existed in the Iron Islands has been completely wiped out by them.

At the same time, the Drowning people always believe that the Son of the Drowning God will inevitably return to the Iron Islands and rule them, so the situation of the Drowned people in the Islands will naturally change.

After more than ten years of hard work, there is no difference between ancient and contemporary floods.

The people are now united, and the influence they have when they unite is naturally not comparable to when they acted alone.

This is also the main reason why the lords and nobles of the Iron Islands are afraid of Lan Li-

It's not that his own bizarre abilities are terrifying, it's mainly that there are these crowds in the archipelago, which makes them see the threat.

……

The Drowning Priests were moved, but they did not stop going straight to Pike Island, or other than a few leading Drowning Priests, the ordinary Drowning Priests stopped and went, and while on the way, they trumpeted the return of the Son of the Drowning God, and even the entire Iron Islands were in an uproar because of this.

At the beginning, there were only a few people who witnessed the power of the Son of the Drowning God, but the people were very convinced of the many Drowned priests, and the priests preached all the year round and were eloquent, so not only what the Son of the Drowned God did more than ten years ago was recalled, but the latest news of fighting against the "Storm God" to finally dispel the storm, awaken the soul of the dead to take revenge and make it enter the Flowing Water Palace was completely publicized by them.

The people did not see it with their own eyes, but the words were as convincing as if they were there.

In addition to the priests, many ordinary ironmen were attracted by these deeds and joined the "pilgrimage" to Pike Island, preparing to witness the demeanor of the son of the drowned god.

Those who didn't go were equally hopeful, and sincerely hoped that the great son of the Drowned God would indeed bring hope to the Iron Islands to "rebuild its glory", as the Drowned priests proclaimed.

In contrast, the lords were very jealous of this.

When they learned that Lan Li had come, they weren't sure if this was really the son of the drowning god at the beginning, but now that they had confirmed it, and they had heard more amazing deeds, they were even more jealous of it, and even quite in awe.

To the astonishment of some who understood, most of the lords sent messengers to visit them, even though they were still in their castles.

A small number of nobles even had the head of the family go in person, as if they had the intention of surrendering, causing many lords to secretly shout traitors.

For a time, the Iron Islands were turbulent.

However, except for the first two days when Lan Li received some visitors in the castle, the people who came over after that did not see him again, which made many people secretly strange, and some even suspected that the son of the drowned god had left quietly as he had done more than ten years ago.

Obviously, it was impossible for Lan Li to leave here before completing the mission, but the reason why he refused to appear was not because of a trick or any scheme, but because the fusion change on his wrist had reached a critical moment.
