188 Methods and conspiracies
There was silence in the stone rooms of the tower.
Looking at the silent woman on the bed who had closed her eyes, Lan Li was stunned as if she hadn't reacted yet, and she looked at this person who might have passed out again or fell asleep.
But the feedback of the psychic words made his heart sink to the bottom-
There was no feedback.
Cautiously raised his hand to test the wings of his nose, but he also didn't feel the presence of breathing, which made him inexplicably have a kind of absurd emotion.
"Just Dead"
Recalling the last words left for him in his mind, he was even a little dazed at this time.
How did you die so easily?
Didn't the bachelor say that he wouldn't die until he had gone crazy at night?
He should still have time......
But a slight abrasion, just died
……
Obviously, Lan Li couldn't understand all this, and he didn't know that this seemingly normal woman was actually very old, and her physical functions were weakened to the extreme—it was already very difficult to chase her whereabouts all over the world, let alone encounter the erosion of any special toxins.
But incomprehensible is incomprehensible, Lan Li didn't want to accept this result at all, after being stunned for a while, he gritted his teeth, and suddenly wrapped the bedding under his body tightly around his body, and then picked her up and turned his head and ran outside.
Rhaenys' body was light, not the kind of light lightness, but the kind of skeletal muscles that were loose like that of an old man. And Lan Li's strength is not weaker than that of ordinary adults, so he runs fast.
It's just a child under the age of seven picking up an adult, this situation looks very discordant, and even the two guards outside the door were even a little frightened when they saw it, so they hurriedly followed.
They didn't notice that the person in the futon had quietly changed his face, and they didn't notice that the person had lost his breath, because Lan Li was constantly urging them to hurry up and take him to the sanctuary in the castle.
Why go to the sanctuary
The two guards were a little puzzled, but apparently no one would explain to them.
The butler he met on the way did not hide, but respectfully claimed that the Marquis of Frey had invited him to the welcome banquet in the evening, and Lan Li said that he would wait for him to come out.
Then he entered the sanctuary.
"What to do in the church," the butler wondered, wondering if he hoped that the monk's prayer would save the poisoned man's life
But then he heard a burst of words coming from inside the Sanctuary, and soon after, the thin monk of Twin Rivers reluctantly followed the two guards to push the door and walked out, facing the butler's puzzled gaze, he shook his sleeves, and said in a complicated tone: "That little duke wants to stay alone and pray, I think it will be dangerous, but he has to do it—I hope the gods will bless him." ”
The butler was a little speechless about this, and then hurriedly turned his head and ran towards the hall without thinking, ready to report the matter.
……
Lan Li in the temple didn't care about the reaction of the outside world at this time, he "drove out" the monk and the two guards who escorted him, and then directly slammed the door of the temple shut, and then came to the bottom of one of the seven statues in the depths of the temple.
The deities of the Church of the Seven are one, and one god has seven images, so deep in the dimly lit stone buildings here stand seven stone statues, each of which is majestic and sacred, and there are more or less candles on the altar in front of them.
These are the candles brought by the members of the Frey family and their servants in the castle when they come to pray, the most in front of the statue of Our Lady, representing the largest number of people who have recently prayed to the Virgin, and not a single one under the statue of the stranger in the corner.
At this time, under the statue of a warrior wearing full body armor that Lan Li faced, there were no more, no less, there were more than a dozen.
In the quiet environment, some of these candles burned in a trance, while others had long since been extinguished, and the dim light shone on Lan Li under the altar and Rhaenys, who was lying quietly in front of Lan Li, looking a little gloomy.
However, Lan Li didn't pay attention to the environment here, and looked down at the motionless woman in front of him, and he pursed his lips.
He can't solve death, but he remembers that there is such a thing as resurrecting people in this world, and in the memory of his previous life, one of the protagonists of this world was resurrected by a red-robed woman.
Lan Li knew about the red-robed woman, or some general information about the red-robed clergy, which was the exclusive clothing of priests of a sect other than Westeros that believed in the Lord of Light.
The belief in the Lord of Light was not popular in Westeros, and he even lived here for nearly seven years, and he only saw a drunkard red-robed monk at the wedding banquet of his cheap brother, who was a clergyman who came to Westeros to preach, and as a result, he became good friends with Robert because of his ability to drink and fight.
There is only one such thing in King's Landing City, and it is naturally impossible for the Lord of Light to worship in Twin River City at the moment, but the foreign King of Light can resurrect the dead, and the local Seven Gods cannot
Lan Li wasn't sure about this, unlike the Lord of Light, the Seven Gods had never shown miracles, but he didn't think that the Seven Gods were false gods, because the characteristics of the Warrior's Son on his body had been proven - the Seven Gods also existed and had power.
Since it exists, can it be communicated?
Whether or not a person can be resurrected
Lan Li wasn't sure, but he decided to give it a try.
As an ordinary person, it is estimated that there will be no effective way to do this, but he is different, he will not ignore the fact that there is another "god" in his wrist at this time, although it is somewhat useless, but it is also a god!
What happens when one deity intrudes into the realm of another deity
With this thought in mind, Lan Li came here. And after taking a deep breath, he went straight to action.
It just seemed a little taken for granted, because when he dug out the blue flame on his wrist, the surrounding environment did not change much, it was still quiet and dim, and there was nothing abnormal.
He frowned, but did not give up, but just stood in front of Rhaenys's corpse, under the statue of a warrior of one of the seven gods, his fingers erected, his eyes fixed on the blue "candlelight" burning on his fingertips, and muttered a simple but not simple sentence to his mouth-
"May the warriors bless you."
When the words fell, the blue candle flame on the tip of his finger shook instantly, but nothing else happened, Lan Li was silent for a moment when he saw this, and then read the second sentence.
"May the warriors bless you."
The candle flame was still flickering, and there was nothing unusual about it.
But with the subsequent "prayers", its shaking became more and more obvious, as if there were invisible fluctuations spreading, and at the same time, above the statue of the warrior that Lan Li was watching, the stone cheeks that were hidden by the "helmet" seemed to begin to glow with prayer.
Encouraged by this, he just stood there and kept talking.
……
"Ran to the temple to pray"
In the dimly lit hall on the other side, the bald old man sitting in a black oak high-backed chair smashed his mouth after hearing the butler's report.
"It's religious, but it's a fool. Originally, I was thinking about whether I could marry that kid and a daughter, but now it seems that I should forget it. ”
"Do you want to send soldiers to keep an eye on the point," asked the fat butler.
"Needless to say"
The bald old man glanced at him when he heard this.
"That's a good treasure made of precious stones, if we break it, hehe, our good king will be in trouble."
Then he waved his hand and signaled that this was the case.
Seeing this, the butler opened his mouth to report the second thing.
"The heir of Haijiang City sent Trichem Lister to ask us for help, and he claimed that the attack of the Iron People was too crazy and that Haijiang City was about to fall."
"Patrick" The old man sitting in the chair heard the words and smashed his mouth again.
"That kid is good, yes, I just heard that there is no marriage contract yet" asked rhetorically, but the old man continued without waiting for an answer: "You tell him, the daughter of our Frey family can choose for him at will." I'll talk about that support after it's done, that's right, I'll talk about it after I've picked it. ”
The fat butler, who was a confidant of the old Marquis Frey, was relieved when he heard this, and then whispered, "In this case, he may wait for King Robert to help, or for the people of the Turi family in Riverrun City to arrive." ”
"Waiting for support"
Marquis Frey smiled when he heard this: "At that time, his wife was slept with by the iron breeders for several days, no, no, he knew it in his heart." ”
The butler nodded, and then asked in a smaller voice, "That Tiemin's side"
"No matter what, we'll have to let them hold out until that kid answers our story. Now, it's time to give intelligence to intelligence, and it's time to give money to money. The old marquis said with a straight face: "Be careful, don't be discovered." ”
"Naeuron. Greyjoy is not easy to deal with, and may take money and do nothing—I heard that the Iron Isles have urged him to go back. ”
"He's ambitious, and he's easy to deal with if he's ambitious." The old marquis said: "Hey, it's been delayed for so long, you really think he can go back to the Iron Islands, go back and wait for his head to be cut off"
After speaking, he waved his hand and changed the topic without waiting for the butler to continue speaking.
"About this Lan Li, did you ask the bachelor to write a letter?"
"The maester has sent ravens to contact the king." The butler smiled when he heard this: "This opportunity is not bad, originally we were not very pleasing to the king, but now we can invite merit to some extent." ”
"Unpleasant"
The old marquis sneered when he heard this: "When did we ever like the lords of those gang of lords, the old men boasted that their family history has been thousands of years, and they are very noble, but as a result, we have been overwhelmed for six hundred years, who is not jealous"
said so, but the expression on the old man's face was full of resentment, and his mouth was also nagging.
"Late Frey, hehe. Remember, as long as we're strong, we'll be able to—"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a panicked shouting from outside, which made the old man look dissatisfied.
"These little cubs, again—"
Before he finished speaking, a young man dressed as an attendant ran outside the hall and shouted: "Oh no, grandfather, the Green Fork River is rising!" ”
"What's the panic, is it rare for this river to rise," the old man reprimanded when he heard this.
"No—this time too—"
The young squire's face was horrified: "This time it's too big—it's too big!" ”
