There have always been rumors that there is a secret hidden in the Red Keep, but no one knows what it is.

Construction of the castle began during the reign of Aegon the Conqueror, and it was not until the time of Maegor Targaryen, the third king of the Targaryen dynasty, that the Red Keep was officially completed.

King Megor is also known as the cruel Megor for his many cruel deeds, and one of the things related to the Red Keep is that after the castle was completed, he ordered the killing of all the craftsmen involved in its construction.

No one knew why he did it, but anyone smart could guess that it must be hiding something, so if there was a secret passage in the castle, it wouldn't be incomprehensible.

It's just that this incident came from the mouth of a child, and there is not the slightest evidence, so it is inevitable that people will be suspicious.

But doubts are doubts, and the fact that the five-year-old child in front of him disappeared into the castle for no reason for a day without being found can already faintly explain something.

So when Lan Li, who was found, said this, Robert was directly diverted from his anger, and the Duke of Vale next to him, Jon Arryn, carefully inquired about Lan Li's approximate location, and then talked about it with some other ministers.

The fat man in the pink robe, who was especially noticed by Lan Li, also actively participated in it, and he didn't find anything abnormal just by looking at his face.

It's pretty good.

Lan Li thought to himself.

The fact that he was able to know that the Red Keep had a secret passage was naturally because of the unfinished TV series he had watched in his previous life, but he was able to remember this because of the intelligence director Varys, who was known as the Octopus Spider not far away.

If memory serves, it seems that the secret passage is known only to this Varys, and through this, he can overhear a lot of hidden things.

But now this guy looks like an outsider who doesn't care about himself, and he behaves seamlessly, and he thinks he's really innocent at first glance.

Lan Li had some ideas because of this, but at this time he was more concerned about another question, that is, why he was not found.

……

After being questioned in the throne room, he was led back to his residence in the castle by the white-robed knight Barristan, and on the way Lan Li asked a seemingly casual question.

"Sir Barristan, I heard you went to the cellar to find me?"

"That's right, kid." The white-robed knight replied, "Because I remember that you were very interested in dragons, so I thought that if you had run away on your own, you might have gone there." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it really a secret passage?" ”

"Of course." Lan Li nodded, "It's dark and dirty, you can see me." ”

The other party glanced at him, and the dark green velvet shirt and trousers that he hadn't had time to change were indeed covered with black dust, and they didn't look like abandoned piles in a normal building.

"It's a pity you don't remember where." The white-robed knight sighed, believing it in his heart.

The kid in front of him was very smart, but he didn't look like he could lie, and he couldn't think of anything other than to explain what had happened today.

But if there really is a secret passage here......

As the King's Guard, Barristan was very sensitive to this kind of thing, and he thought that if there was a secret passage and he didn't know about it, it would be a dereliction of duty. Before Robert, he had served two kings, and who knew if the kings he once guarded were threatened by secret passages?

The white-robed knight's mood became a little depressed because of this, and Lan Li didn't speak again, but thought about what he had just said.

He went to the cellar to look for it, but he didn't find himself.

Lan Li frowned and thought.

It's very hidden to hide in a pile of bones, but if you look for it intentionally, it's impossible not to see it, right?

And he didn't seem to notice that the bones were broken......

Broken when you came back?

The older and the younger have their own agendas, so the rest of the journey is quite silent. As you keep going, you can follow the stone path to the central area of the castle, and it won't be long before you see the building called the Megar Tower.

Named after the cruel Meg, the builders speak for themselves, and it is the residence of the families of the kings, it is a castle within a castle, it is a huge square fortress with high and heavy walls and a dry, metal-spiked moat.

At this time, the drawbridge over the moat had been lowered, and the two guards guarding the entrance bowed to the white-robed knight, and the other party returned the salute, and then walked into it with the blue salute.

Entering the ground floor hall and continuing up the building, he was eventually led to a room with a pale green mil carpet on a stone floor, which was where he had lived for the long time.

The white-robed knight then retreated, and after he creaked shut the thick oak door, Lan Li temporarily restrained his other thoughts, raised his hand and subconsciously touched the egg-shaped item in his pocket.

Immediately after his return, he was busy dealing with those people outside, and he didn't have time to study more about what he had gained. He wasn't sure exactly what the egg could do, but it was one of the few special items he had.

In addition to this egg, he also wore a bronze ring around his neck that could be used three times, and there was also half a special bone hidden in the wooden box under the bed, but it seemed that it was no longer needed......

Thinking about it, he walked a few steps to a silver-plated round mirror hanging under a golden brocade on the side of the room, and looked away.

……

As he stared closely, a series of messages emerged through the mirror like mist.

The mechanism of this appearance is very peculiar, it seems to be revealed on the surface of the mirror, but if you touch it with your hands, you will not touch any moist substance at all, and the misty words will dissipate as a result.

Lan Li believes that these words do not actually exist, but are a manifestation of his thinking, because he can detect this kind of information without using a mirror, but it is just a matter of how little.

And that kind of awareness takes place in the mind as if one's own thoughts have been condensed by themselves, not what they are in front of them.

He was already familiar with this, so he didn't pay much attention to the situation, and his eyes looked at the characteristics that appeared beneath the profession, and he thought thoughtfully.

There is a profession column that he didn't know before, and Lan Li naturally can't ignore it, and although he is not very interested in the profession of bard, which makes a living by singing, the characteristics derived from this profession have to be paid attention to.

At the moment, it seems that this class is just getting started, and if he takes the initiative to increase the level of this class, will new characteristics appear?

Compared to the skill knowledge that is more difficult to improve at the higher the level, this class does not seem to be so difficult to improve, after all, it is still the lowest level at this time......

At the same time, at the same time, he had to think deeply about the meaning behind this-

If bards are a profession, what about knights?

Scholars, sailors, or even wizards?

The golden finger you have seems to hide a lot of things that have not yet been discovered.

Lan Li thought about it, suddenly frowned, and then looked in the direction of the fireplace not far away.

His hearing was much better than before, and he faintly heard some peculiar noises, which seemed to be some ...... coming from behind the fireplace The sound of the soles of shoes rubbing against the ground?
