31 Re-entry
The entrance to the cellar was narrow for the white-robed knight, but the Blue Rite was unobstructed here.
They stepped into it one after the other, their feet stepping on the rocky stairs and going deeper, and before long, a feeling of coldness arose and goosebumps appeared on their arms.
After entering the cellar, the environment became very dark, and the white-robed knight walked at the front with a torch in his hand, and the open fan-shaped entrance behind him was shining with light, but it became more and more scarce as he walked, and finally completely dissipated as the two of them descended the stairs.
As we walked along, the peculiar smell grew stronger and stronger, obscuring all other scents in the place.
The orange flame burned at the top of the torch, and a narrow shadow reflected behind the knight, a bright black flickering from the corner of the eye as the two men advanced, but it quickly dimmed as the fire flickered.
It was a skull the size of a puppy's bone, slumped loosely on the outer edge of the cellar here, and Lan Li glanced curiously, then caught the attention of the larger keel in front of him.
The torches were dimly lit, but they could still clearly illuminate the surrounding area, and with the crisp sound of the knight's armor colliding and footsteps, the bones in front of him were getting bigger and bigger.
The size of a hound, the size of a calf, the size of a horse, the size of a bison, and even ...... The size of a dragon.
The pitch-black skulls were one after the other, one taller and larger, and the deepest one was a high dome, all of which seemed to be about to be overwhelmed by this cellar.
The skull's eye sockets were hollow and deep, and its sharp teeth were like long pillars standing there, and the light of the fire shone on it, as if the surface of the black bone was coated with a film of flames, and it continued to flicker as it burned.
"The biggest one is the Black Death Bellerion." The white-robed knight said, "Aegon the Conqueror rode this dragon to bring Westeros into his kingdom. ”
Lan Li didn't speak, and at this time he had already put all his thoughts on this skull.
In the dim environment, the boy looked up at the behemoth in front of him, as if looking at some kind of miracle.
Although he had long known that the world he was reincarnated in was a place full of mystery and fantasy, and despite the ability to travel through history, he was still shocked when a dragon's skull, the remains of a huge creature that was clearly beyond his knowledge, appeared in front of him.
At this moment, he briefly ignored the strange fragrance that tempted him, and stared at the huge dragon skull that seemed to move faintly as the firelight swayed, and his heart was full of curiosity about its true face.
However, his target was not the largest, but the second largest skull next to it.
It looks like the black head is only one size smaller and has a longer mouth, but unlike other skulls, a special fragrance emanates from its surface.
After a few glances, Lan Li retracted his gaze and said to the white knight beside him, "Let's go, Sir, thank you for bringing me here." ”
The knight was a little surprised that he was ready to leave, and he thought that the little fellow would stay here for a while.
After all, most children who see the keel for the first time are either scared to cry or aroused by strong curiosity, and then can't wait to ask questions or run to study it themselves.
Secretly surprised, the white-robed knight didn't talk nonsense, just nodded when he heard the words, and then took the lead and turned around.
The atmosphere was silent.
On the way back, Lan Li had been thinking about the keel, but he didn't have the heart to speak.
Although he was shocked by looking at the skull before, that didn't make Lan Li lose his mind. Although the second largest skull was the source of the smell, he did not use his special "means" in front of others.
Once in that kind of copy, he would seem to fall into a coma in his real body, which was fine, but he wasn't sure what would happen if he was freed from the medium through which he entered the copy.
And if he was really unconscious here, it would be impossible for the person next to him to wait for him to finish and talk about it later, and even if he could, it would obviously not be appropriate for outsiders to see this phenomenon.
"You have to think about how to keep others from finding out." With this in mind, Lan Li eventually stepped into a square fortress in the castle protected by a dry moat.
……
The next period was calm and noisy.
It seems that since their arrival, the banquets in the Red Keep have never stopped, and every night, the throne room in the castle will be filled with a warm and noisy grand dinner.
The dinner was attended by a large number of people, with singers and jugglers performing one after another.
The Lannisters of the West, Tully of the Riverlands, Arryn of the Vale, and even the newly surrendered House of Tyrells in the Riverlands.
Many of the great families are in King's Landing at the moment, and there are also countless sub-lords under their command, and an endless stream of noble classes roam the Red Keep and beyond, as if the entire lord class of Westeros has recently arrived here.
There is only one reason - the new king is about to be crowned.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he had to wait for Eddard, the Duke of the North. Stark returns, and the king's coronation has already begun, after all, the country cannot be without a ruler, and if it is delayed for a long time, it is inevitable that things will change.
But none of this has anything to do with Lan Li, for now, he only needs to be responsible for pretending to be a polite child.
In the morning, with Stannis, Robert, and a man named Jon. The Duke of Arryn had breakfast with him, and in the evening he was taken to a banquet, during which he was surrounded by ladies and ladies from all over the world, and children of his "same age" came to play with him.
He even met several people whose looks were very different from those in his impression.
Jimmy. Lannister looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old at this time, wearing the white robes of the Kingsguard, with dazzling blond hair, and a handsome smile, but very arrogant.
Tywin. Lannister, Jaime's father and Duke of the West, is one of the top nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. Silent and full of majesty, every time he appeared, he was surrounded by some guys with golden hair, and Lan Li had heard that they were the younger brothers of Duke Tywin.
However, the Lannisters, despite their appearance, do not seem to be well received at the moment, and every time they appear, they will make others duck and dodge, and then point fingers.
So Lan Li rarely sees these people.
In addition to this, he also met Jon, the Old Duke of Vale. Erin's new wife, Lysa. Tully, the mean woman with a pointed chin in his impression seemed to him to be a round face, a slender figure, a lovely look, and a beautiful head of long maroon hair.
She is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she sits next to an old man who is nearly sixty years old, how she looks like a grandfather and grandson, she can't even be called father and daughter, but they are husband and wife.
Her personality also seems to be very good, and she always likes to smile at Lan Li when she eats, and she looks very shy when she smiles.
However, Lan Li felt that the way she looked at her was a little strange, and she seemed to be full of sadness.
This sister, the Duke of the North, Eddard Ed. Stark's wife, Catelyn, has not yet come to King's Landing, as it is said that she has just given birth to a baby boy and is unable to make the long journey......
Except for these limited people, the other Lan Li basically had no impression, and he didn't pay much attention to it. On the other hand, Lan Li prefers the food at the banquet.
The lifelike cream swan tastes sweet and fragrant, but not as appealing as the real swan meat, and after tasting the goose-like food, Lan Li is even more curious about the roast bear meat with a rich sauce.
In addition, tender butter-baked quail, crunchy fried trout, honey pie, snail soup, grilled steer with a belly hollowed out and stuffed with spices......
The world was occupied by all kinds of delicacies for a while, so that Lan Li seemed to suddenly awaken some unique hobby, eating every day with a round belly and a mouth full of oil, and after finishing it, he went back to the room and began to fall asleep on the bed. It didn't take long for him to feel like he had gained a lot of weight.
Mornings and evenings were spent eating, and the rest of the time he did not hide in his room, but took the family guards assigned by Robert to Barristan to the Kingsguard, who admired the legends and exploits of the other party, but was actually familiar with the route, and prepared to go into the cellar at the first opportunity.
And that opportunity didn't take long to come.
……
During a certain wandering, Lan Li took advantage of the fact that the two guards were attacked by a violent black cat, and quietly disappeared behind the wall of a ruin with a single turn, and then quickly walked in a direction that was already very familiar.
Soon there was shouting and hurried footsteps behind him, but the footsteps went in the other direction he was accustomed to walking, without noticing where he really was.
Lan Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly set off along the root of the wall towards his destination.
Stocky fortresses, solemn sanctuary churches, ruin-like semicircular towers, and deserted courtyards...... Careful to avoid anyone in his way, he finally came to the abandoned hall he had arrived at not long ago, and then struggled to open the heavy fan-shaped wooden door and stepped down the cellar.
It was pitch black, eerie, and cold, and the dungeon environment was still the same, but at this time the boy was not protected by the light of the torch, and even at first he was empty in front of him, and he could not see anything.
After getting used to the doorway a little, the vision slowly recovered, but it was also quite blurry.
It's just that that's enough.
Cautiously groping his way through the dark, scribbling past one strange corpse after another with hollow eyes, he finally reached his target.
Looking up, the deep eye sockets of this dragon's skull were hollow and weird, and it seemed that there were really two eyeballs staring at the black-haired boy in front of him, which made him unconsciously have goosebumps and feel a little panicked.
After rubbing his arms, Lan Li took a deep breath, then slipped into the open mouth of the dragon's skull, and sat in it, his legs straight, and his small hands tightly grasped the hideous black teeth that were taller than him in front of him.
A warm but cold strange touch surfaced, but it didn't give Lan Li much time to feel it, and as he exerted his hand, his originally clear thoughts quickly blurred and diverged.
The surroundings also became darker, and eventually it was completely dark.
