179 Atavism and Ryan

From the present wars to the past history, from the establishment of the Targaryen dynasty to the results of each war waged by the Iron Islands over the past three hundred years, from the resources of the archipelago to the geographical and economic problems......

The conversation in the sealskin tent continued for a long time, until it was dark and the king of the Iron Islands, Baron. Greyjoy lifted the tent and walked out, and after taking a deep breath of the sea-smelling air, he turned and bowed to the tent, and then walked away, a little hurriedly.

Lan Li in the tent didn't pay much attention to this - to put it simply, he just wanted the Iron Islands to be honest and obedient, and not to think about going out and robbing houses all day long.

However, this honest premise is naturally to be able to eat and dress warmly, so he gave a few suggestions by the way......

Thinking about it, Lan Li took a sip of the wheat tea in the cup, his expression thoughtful.

The previous conversation wasn't entirely about the Iron Islands, and later Baron mentioned a personal confusion to him, which was the blessing of the power of the Drowning God—

It is also the seed of the ancient path in Baron's body.

A rebellion to restore the ancient path seems to have provided a lot of nutrients to the seeds in Baron's body, and even in addition to the feedback power, it has also bred a new ability, or rather, it has changed Balon's body a little-

A little bit of webbing grew between his toes!

This situation made Lan Li very surprised, but he didn't have a clue about it, and at the same time, in order to keep it mysterious, he didn't dare to look at it more, but only claimed that this situation was a "normal phenomenon".

So Baron was relieved.

However, he was relieved, Lan Li couldn't help but pay attention to the appearance of this phenomenon, and he wondered if it was because of the feedback of the ancient path seed that Baron's body had a "atavistic" phenomenon?

Although in his cognition, people are monkeys, but there is no such saying in this world, or in other words, there are legends such as the local islanders who have mermaid blood on many islands in this world, and even Lan Li heard that many of the Three Sisters in the Valley Islands have webbed hands and feet, and I don't know if it is the same thing as Baron......

Thinking, he shook his head, got up and began to pack his things.

The suggestion was just incidental, and the main result of his conversation was that a ship would quietly dock tonight, and Lan Li would take that ship to Westeros.

That's right, he's going to leave tonight.

For the identity of the son of the drowned god, Lan Li has no nostalgia, and if he can leave early, he will naturally not stay longer.

And despite Baron. Greyjoy was puzzled by the idea that the Son of the Drowned God was secretly leaving the Iron Islands, but he decided to help.

On the one hand, Baron did not think that the Son of God did not know that he was the Son of God, as the people used to do. Or maybe Baron thinks that the Son of God is the Son of God, and even if he leaves the Iron Islands, he still can't hide this, so what does it matter if he leaves the Islands temporarily?

Anyway, the son of the drowning god will always return to the Iron Islands, after all, several times in the whole world, only the iron islands believe in the drowning god, how far can he, the son of the gods, go?

On the other hand, although he welcomes the existence of the Son of the Drowning God, he obviously does not want any King of the Son of God to appear in the archipelago.

It's enough to have a leader in the Iron Islands, and the drowning people want to make another ...... What are they doing here? Seizure of power?

Want to restore the ephemeral flooded kingdom of 300 years ago?

In a sense, Baron was on a "united front" with Ranley, so he agreed to send a ship to pick him up and take him to Westeros.

At the same time, although he was curious about why this god son went to the green land that was not under the jurisdiction of the drowning god, Lan Li didn't explain it, so he didn't ask much-

There must be a reason for that, and it may involve the gods. This kind of thing, it is better for him not to mix it rashly as a mortal person, after all, his own affairs are in a mess at the moment, and he can't manage it.

Of course, Baron still asked if he needed to send men to follow, but Lan Li refused. However, he gladly accepted the claim that he would provide him with some of the money necessary to walk the "world."

"It's a pity that you can't do it all in one step." In the tent, after packing up all his things, Lan Li sighed secretly.

The defeat in the war at sea caused the Iron Islands to completely lose control of the waters south of the islands, and now the southern seas are full of "enemies", and the ships of the Iron Islands dare not pass through there, so they can only send Lan Li to the north of the archipelago across the sea - or the north, or the riverland.

Needless to say, the northern border is needless to say, not to mention the farthest place from the High Court, it is now winter, and it is estimated that people can freeze to death in the cold over there, so the only option is the riverland.

This was quite troublesome, because he still had to travel for a long time after arriving in the Riverlands, so Lan Li hesitated, because in addition to having the people of the Iron Islands send him away, he could actually wait until his cheap brother Robert arrived in the Iron Islands and directly entered the friendly army.

In fact, that's what he originally planned.

It's just that the war is simple, but the actual mobilization is very troublesome, and even if the naval power of the Iron Islands is abolished now, it is estimated that it will take a long time for that side to fight the islands.

And if he did, he couldn't explain why he was here...... At the same time, as the son of the drowning god who is in the limelight in the archipelago, as long as someone who cares asks a little, he can directly understand what Lan Li has done here, so that he can ......

So Lan Li decided to leave tonight.

In fact, he didn't have much to pack, the main thing was himself, and the secondary ones were four shells containing the seeds of the ancient path, and a "bronze ring" with three remaining uses, an air cat that had been harassing him lately, and a few ordinary winter clothes prepared by the flooded people......

After all the math, that's all.

After making a rough burden, he pretended to sleep and extinguished the brazier in the tent, and lay on the bed for a long time, until it was almost midnight, when it became quite quiet outside, Lan Li left a line on the surface, and then opened a loose corner of the tent that had been reserved before, and hurried towards the coastline not far away while no one noticed it under the cover of night.

There are vigil drowning people around the beach, but this group of drowning people obviously has no relevant experience, and the campfire illuminates the big night, which greatly affects the line of sight, so they see the lightless place is quite blurry, plus Lan Li has already had an escape plan, and has a clear understanding of the distribution of the vigil drowning, so although the process is not smooth, he finally successfully reached the end of the coast.

However, before Lan Li, who had taken off his upper body clothes and jumped into the sea, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps approaching, and when he looked back, an emaciated drowning figure came into view.

"Ryan ......" Lan Li narrowed his eyes.

"Where does Miko-sama want to go?" The other party approached and asked softly, an ordinary slender, slender face that looked hazy and illusory under the darkness of the night.

"Instead of asking me where I want to go." Lan Li said, sitting cross-legged on a reef below him.

"Why don't you find it?"

"I heard some noises, so-"

"As far as I know, you're not on duty outside my tent tonight." Lan Li interrupted the other party with a sneer: "Don't tell me that you just got up to pee?" ”

"No peeing."

The emaciated man replied in a low voice, "It's just that I can't sleep." ”

"Yes......" Lan Li was noncommittal, and then suddenly asked.

"Who the hell are you?"

"I'm Ryan, it's your—"

"You're not Ryan."

Lan Li interrupted the other party: "You claim to be from Lone Lamp Island, but I sent someone over there to investigate, and found that Lone Light Island does not have the existence of such a person as Ryan - so, who are you?" And what is the purpose? ”

The other party was silent when he heard this.
