51 Rumors and secret passages

Memories of the use of a large number of musical instruments came to mind one after another: flutes, ancient harps, harps, violins, tambourine......

None of the instruments that could be found in Westeros seemed to have been missed at the moment, in addition to some scenes of singing in crowded taverns and streets and other venues, and there were even some songs and melodies that he didn't seem to belong to this world, and some of the songs and melodies he had heard intentionally or unintentionally in his previous life were hooked up.

This memory is really very complicated, sitting next to the dragon skull in the dark, Lan Li even felt that his brain was faintly expanding, but the memory came and went quickly, and after it emerged, it began to converge rapidly, and finally merged with his original memory, as if it was a personal experience.

Lowering his head and stretching his fingers, Lan Li felt that he was completely different from before.

But before he could take a closer look at all this, his heartbeat, which had been relatively stable, suddenly became faster, and the sound of clattering and beating seemed to be thundering in his ears, which was very obvious in the silent cellar—

[You have gained Class Trait: Rhythm Sensitivity]

……

With the rapid beating of the heart, there seemed to be a faint tingling and numbness in the ears, but the mind seemed unusually clear at the moment, and the expression was a little dazed, but the change did not stop because he was not in a state.

Faintly, there were sounds that had not been audible all around—the sound of rats scratching through the walls, the buzzing of flying insects flapping their wings in the dark, the faint cold wind coming out of a crack in a corner of the cellar, and the sound of hurried footsteps coming from nowhere......

Feeling all these changes, Lan Li unconsciously looked down at herself.

[Race Level: LV1]

……

It was as if information that had not changed for thousands of years was floating out, and no other "attributes" other than this one had emerged, and Lan Li was quite helpless about this.

The "system" on his body is very simple, and it is not so simple to read the information.

Now, for example, when he looks at himself alone, he can only see his "physical condition". To get the full picture, you have to run to find a mirror and look at your face, or look at your own eyes.

Thinking about it, he stood up, took one last look at the ground beneath his feet that had become empty, and then stepped towards the exit of the cellar.

……

"He's only five years old! Seven layers of hell, you can even fucking lose a five-year-old? And the face told me that he ran away on his own? Tell me about it, how did he run away on his own!? ”

An angry curse rang out from the throne room, and the voice echoed through the empty hall, loud and full of tremors.

"I should have called two old women with lost teeth to be their guards, yes, that's what I should! At least they won't lose my little brother. You guys? You two are fucking pails, trash! What else can you do!? ”

The roar was followed by a burst of soft persuasion, and the loud collision of stools being kicked open, and some servants passing by outside the hall couldn't help but speed up their steps, and even the two heavily armed knights guarding the door unconsciously swallowed their saliva, as if they were afraid that the volcano behind them that had erupted for a long time would affect them.

Lord Robert's younger brother, Lan Li, suddenly disappeared while wandering around the castle, and the two guards who were in charge of guarding him at the time couldn't tell any clue - other than being attacked by a black cat.

……

This incident happened this morning, but it was already midnight, but no one was found, the Red Fort was very large, but hundreds of people had already searched thoroughly under the continuous search, and they found nothing.

The soon-to-be-crowned king was furious, and at first he called the two guards to scold him, and then sent people to intensify his search again, but even the dungeons of the Red Keep were rummaged, but still no clues were found, except for a laundry washer who claimed to have seen a child running in the direction of the virgin residence of the Red Keep.

However, there was no trace of a child in the rectangular fortress, and I searched all the surrounding places, such as the Prime Minister's Tower, the Mege Tower, the White Sword Tower, and the Sacred Wood Forest......

Sir Barristan of the Kingsguard also made a point of mentioning the cellar of the Red Keep, claiming that the boy had been interested in the keel in the cellar, but that he had led a search to no avail.

The disappearance of a living person is a common occurrence in the slums of King's Landing, but it is not normal in the royal castle of the Red Keep.

At this time, there were countless large and small nobles in King's Landing, and there was such a big movement, the news naturally couldn't be hidden, and the gossip was all over the sky.

It is speculated that the child was kidnapped by the Assassins who infiltrated the enemy in the Red Keep, and some speculated that the Assassin was originally a member of the Red Keep.

Some people even believe that this must be the trick of Prince Rhaegara's tragic death of his wife, sons, and daughters, who were tortured by Nuoda when they died, and are now about to pay for the blood debt with the family of the usurper.

The last speculation was still quite popular among the nobles, because, unlike all the others, there was "proof" of the existence of this one - the black cat.

Two guards are attacked by a black cat, and in the blink of an eye, the Baratheon kid is gone. This may not seem like much, but many nobles have been frequent visitors and courtiers in the Red Keep since the previous dynasties, and most of them know that the daughter of Prince Rhaegar and the little princess with Dorne blood once had a black cat named Bellerion.

In folklore, black cats are closely associated with mysterious things such as witches and ghosts......

Many young nobles and men panicked by the gods' babbling words, and some of the girls even swore to their companions that they would never wander around the Red Keep lest they would see the ghosts.

However, when the new news came out, they were quite disappointed-

The little guy named Lan Li was found, or he himself ran out of the way, and the location was none other than the Red Fort, which had been searched several times.

Some people don't believe this, but it is exactly what it is, and many people can't imagine why there are still places for Tibetans who have searched so many times.

An enraged Robert Baratheon and his courtiers even suspect that this is just a five-year-old's excuse to lie (Robert has learned from his correspondence with the old Master of Storm's End) that there may be other hidden motives.

However, when the person standing in the throne hall was questioned, he swore to deny it, and came up with the quibbles he had already thought of.

"There's a secret passage in this castle, and I accidentally touched the switch and fell into it, so you couldn't find me."

As soon as these words came out, the people gathered in the throne hall all looked at each other. The kingdom's intelligence chief, the pink-robed eunuch named Varys, narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and then asked softly, his eyes curious.

"So where is the secret passage? Child? ”

"I forgot where I fell in." Lan Li turned his head to look at him, with an innocent expression.

"But there's a secret way."
