The news of this sudden rebellion touched the hearts of countless people, and even Lan Li, who had never liked to pay attention to such things, couldn't help but wonder if his brother's rule would be shaken by this.

Many lords hostile to Baratheon watched to see how King Robert, who had usurped the Iron Throne, dealt with the sudden rebellion.

And the king's response was very simple, he didn't hesitate, didn't negotiate, didn't pull those who didn't, and directly summoned the lords and knights of the seven kingdoms to go west to participate in the war and fight him.

So the recent continent of Westeros has been surging.

……

"Aren't you worried at all, Lan Li?"

Somewhere in the courtyard of the High Court, the brown-haired boy Villas leaned against a white marble pillar and looked thoughtfully at the black-haired boy sitting on the railing reading a book.

More than five months have made the heir of the High Court much more "rude" than at the beginning, but this also means that the relationship between the two is close.

"This is your brother's kingdom."

"I'm just a kid." Lan Li replied without raising his head when he heard this: "There is nothing I can do about worrying, so I don't worry." ”

It sounds naïve, but when you think about it, there is some truth to it.

After a few months of contact, Villas thought that the boy in front of him was actually quite precocious, and this made a certain mind in his heart more active.

"If you can witness this war with your own eyes, I think you will be much more relieved, right?" He said tentatively, "It's hard to stay in the castle and wait for news. ”

"It's okay."

Lan Li replied casually, "A year ago, Robert was fighting outside, and we were surrounded in Storm's End for a whole year, which is much worse than now. ”

The brown-haired young man was a little speechless when he heard this, then thought about it, and simply said bluntly: "If the Iron People are allowed to wreak havoc like this, it will also have a great impact on the future of the Riverbend, so my father is ready to respond to the call of His Majesty Robert and is currently calling his vassals to participate in the war. ”

As he spoke, seeing the boy look away from the book and looking at him, Villas said in a sincere tone: "I want to see this war with my own eyes, you know, Lan Li, I will become a knight sooner or later, and knights cannot escape war." ”

"Then let's go, and take the opportunity to increase my knowledge." Lan Li replied with a wink.

"My father didn't allow me to go, he said it would be dangerous." The brown-haired boy replied helplessly.

"War is definitely dangerous."

Lan Li nodded in agreement: "We didn't eat when we were in Storm's End, and many people almost starved to death. ”

"But I have analyzed, if the war goes well, then we will naturally not encounter danger, if it doesn't go well, then the Iron People can carry out harassment of the western realm and the riverbend land at will, and even the High Court will not be able to call it safe at that time."

"Seems to be the case." The brunette boy replied stunned, and Villas rolled his eyes at the words.

"Lan Li, don't pretend to be stupid, can't you express your opinion?"

After studying together for a long time, he got to know the boy in front of him a lot, but he didn't believe that this guy was really as simple and naïve as he seemed.

"What do you think? Don't you just want me to go with you to pry your father? ”

Lan Li had already seen through the other party's purpose, so he said unceremoniously: "I'll tell you, that's impossible, you are the next heir of the High Court, and I am a guest of the royal family." If something happens to you, it's a big loss for the High Court, and if something happens to me, how do you say your father should explain it to my brother? ”

The sudden change in tone was uncomfortable, but Vilas was in good spirits.

"Don't you want to see the seas and war? There is also the Iron Islands, where I heard that the customs are very unique. ”

"I've seen it a long time ago, it's nothing more than two groups of people fighting back and forth, it's just that the battlefield has been replaced by the sea."

Lan Li said casually: "Iron Islands? Nothing to see, a place where birds don't. ”

Believing that he was bragging, or that he didn't want to pay attention to his stubble at all, Villas sighed, "Haven't you ever been in the castle?" The outside world is wonderful, and there are many things we don't know about. ”

Smart, mentally mature, but not interested in most things, and not very observant, seems a little lazy.

This is Vilas's perception of the Blue Rite.

But he likes novelty things, such as magic, or mysterious legends like the Sons of the Forest, and his curiosity is serious......

It's a pity that Vilas doesn't know that with the existence of a strange left hand, the accidents and novelties in life are enough for Lan Li, so he is not interested in it.

"What the Duke said makes sense, war is very dangerous, and a war at sea cannot be decided by the number of people."

The boy drooped his eyelids and said, "So I still like to stay in the castle honestly, it's safest, and didn't you say a while ago that you want to go out hunting?" Leading the dog and releasing the eagle, I'm looking forward to this. ”

The invasion of the copy world was enough to wipe out Lan Li's inner desire for adventure, in reality, he just wanted to live quietly, but he didn't want to live that kind of twists and turns inside and outside the copy and worry about his own safety all day long, that would be too bad.

And he's still too young.

However, things that were not of much interest to Lan Li were full of attraction to many young nobles who had not suffered setbacks since childhood, so the brown-haired boy did not give up.

"We don't have to go to the front, we just need to be in the rear, with my father and Earl Redwin, so that unless the battle is one-sided, we will not be in any danger."

Lan Li was indifferent when he heard this.

"My plan is to join some friends of the same age to go to my father and make a proposal, not just you and me, so that the possibility of success is not small."

Lan Li shrugged.

"Are you so cowardly? Lan Li, I don't think you're such a person. Vilas pulled out a trick.

"I'm a kid, so of course I'm not bold."

Lan Li said, lifting the book in his hand and concentrating on reading the book.

It's just that the other party still hasn't given up, but slowly revealed the many "bait" he prepared in advance.

"They all say that there is a sea dragon's bones on the Iron Islands, sea dragon, it sounds interesting, don't you want to meet it?"

……

"Those followers who claim to be the sons of the drowning gods seem to have appeared out of nowhere, no one has seen them before, Lan Li, aren't you curious?"

……

"I heard that there was a sea monster on the Iron Islands a while ago, just like the one on the coat of arms of the Greyjoy family......"

"The grapevine is not credible." Lan Li finally couldn't help but reply.

"Sailors always say they've seen merfolk, ice dragons, or even storm gods, and they don't know if they've seen them in real time or if they've seen them in their sleep when they're drunk."

"The merfolk don't understand." The brown-haired boy shook his head: "The sea ghost popped up a while ago, and it has a name." ”

"Oh, what's the name?" Lan Li was surprised when he heard this.

It's just a matter of hearing the news of simple ghosts or something, there are a lot of superstitious rumors in feudal society, but a ghost with a name seems to have a certain degree of credibility, and he hasn't forgotten that there are supernatural forces in this world, although it is very rare, but it is not nothing.

"Seems to be called Jaspi."

The brown-haired boy replied, "There are many sailors on the west coast who claim to have seen it, and it is said that the sea ghost will ask anyone how to get to the village, and then disappear, and I don't know where the village is located." ”

Jaspi? White Gull Village?

Lan Li frowned when he heard this, feeling that these two names were a little familiar.
