A young man knelt in front of the oak tree in the dim woods with golden flames, and his short black hair shone faintly......

Looking at the dazzling figure soaked in bright golden light, Queen Cersei, who was standing on the edge of the clearing, couldn't help but open her mouth, and then saw the young man turn her head to look over, she unconsciously turned pale, and hurriedly pulled her long skirt and turned her head and ran.

The hurried footsteps made a rattling sound on the surface of the soft leaves, and the surrounding trees swept in front of them repeatedly, and while running, the crimson skirt dragged sleeves accidentally scraped onto a fork next to it, and even the figure running away in panic involuntarily staggered to a stop, and then saw her hands struggling to pull, with a stabbing sound, the hanging sleeves were torn, leaving a strand of silk cloth fluttering in the wind.

After running for a while, she was already panting, and the violent heartbeat made her frown unbearably and stop leaning against a poplar tree, gasping for a few breaths, and couldn't help but look back at the route, and found that there was no special light at the end of the woods, and there was only silence, not even the sound of birdsong.

"What's that?" Cersei muttered, clutching her scratched sleeves, and gritted her teeth as she continued walking, but she couldn't help but look back and look away, as if she was afraid of a monster coming out of the woods.

That's right, Cersei was scared at this point.

The scene full of mystery and splendor that she had never seen before made her heart full of horror, and she didn't dare to stop her steps. But when she walked out of the Divine Wood Forest and stepped over the stone wall door of the outer wall to be guarded by the guards, a curiosity quietly emerged in her heart, and her curiosity about the little uncle who had not paid much attention to it before, but even more so about the fantasy and splendor.

In fact, Cersei doesn't think she's too new to this mysterious power, and when she was a child, she once went with her female companion outside the castle to find a witch to predict her, and when she saw the moving chicken leg at the wedding banquet where she married Robert, she was even more inquisitive about it.

Over the years, she had collected many books on magic and the like, but tried to teach herself unsuccessfully, and later, after the disciples appeared, she came into contact with a woman named Melisandre and learned about the beliefs of the Lord of Light.

Unfortunately, this understanding had to be interrupted when the disciples were purged, which Cersei had always regretted, because she thought that kind of characters were difficult to meet.

But now she saw another one, and it was her husband's younger brother......

Maybe we can continue to explore this unique power from him?

With this in mind, Cersei, who was walking down the stone staircase to the room, suddenly stopped.

"The problem with the hair...... Will he find out? ”

The thought made Cersei's face change.

This matter is the biggest secret in her heart, and it is also the thing she values the most. She was even quite worried about the sudden departure of the red-robed woman, but she was relieved when she found that Robert's hair had also changed color.

It is not clear why Robert had changed his hair color, but it was clear that his children would not be in trouble...... But if that little uncle is proficient in this mysterious power......

Cersei didn't even consciously think of the rumors inside and outside the Red Keep for a while—the method used by the Minister of Justice Lan Li to interrogate the prisoners was invisible, but it was very powerful, like witchcraft.

After her face was cloudy for a while, Cersei turned her head to look at a waitress who was following her, "Give me an appointment with Duke Lanli to dine with you in the side hall tonight." ”

The waitress bowed in response, then turned and hurried to inform.

……

Lan Li on the other side obviously didn't expect Cersei to think of such things because of this, or that he didn't turn his mind to that person at this time.

Upon noticing that she had turned around and run away, Lan Li turned her attention back to the oak tree in front of her.

Then he noticed that the tree was constantly "shrinking" as the golden flame "burned" throughout the oak tree became brighter and brighter.

The leaves of the tree curled and contracted along the smoldering veins of the golden fire, the branches continued to shake and become smaller with the bright light, and the whole trunk faintly emitted a continuous crackling sound, just like the bones of the old man stretching his waist, and as if the house that had been loose to the extreme was squeezed and denatured under the action of external force, and a large number of friction sounds were born from the chaotic collision of various furniture parts inside......

The whole oak tree kept shrinking, but the tree did not shrink completely, but suddenly stopped after shrinking by nearly half, and then suddenly turned into a large amount of wood dust under the golden light of the whole body, and poured it all over the ground.

Trunks, branches, leaves, roots...... Everything turned into gray-black sawdust dust, piled up in the place where the oak trees once grew, like a bulging little dirt bag, and like a dead and lonely grave, surrounded by blood-red grass.

The forest environment returned to normal, and the bright golden light before was completely nowhere to be found at this moment, only a few traces remained on the retina, but they were also rapidly dissipating.

However, Lan Li's attention was not on this, but completely on the dagger in his left hand, at this moment, he could clearly smell an obvious "fragrance", similar to the fragrance of pen and ink books, which made him familiar and unfamiliar.

"Did you fix it......"

Looking down at the wooden-handled weapon in his hand, which was no different from an ordinary dagger, Lan Li was a little excited, but the next moment he suddenly raised his head and looked at it vigilantly.

As far as the eye could see, there was a pitch-black crow falling on a pine tree at this time, the color of its eyes, claws, and feathers, and the little guy with black body was currently staring at him tightly, and he didn't see any movement, but it made Lan Li feel quite weird.

He thought of some memories of his past life, and an incident he had seen when he left the Iron Islands—

Ravens have a clear association with the Old Gods.

"Looks like I've been discovered."

He thought about it like this, but when he saw that the crow had stared at it for a while and then flew away, Lan Li didn't continue to think about it for the time being, but stood up from the "lonely grave" and turned his head and walked towards the outside of the Divine Wood Forest.

What happens if you are discovered?

Lan Li didn't know, but he knew that the Old Gods had occupied all of Westeros in ancient times, but they couldn't stop the Andals and their Seven Gods from invading.

It would be nothing if it was a war between two gods, but after constantly coming into contact with the seven gods, Lan Li clearly understood that the seven gods could not perform miracles at will, or rather, fight themselves? Since its birth, no so-called miracles have been performed.

This is tantamount to saying that the power of humans alone directly destroyed the belief of the old gods in Westeros.

In addition, when he was in the Iron Islands ten years ago, Lan Li also came into contact with the birth memory of the Drowning God, which was vague, but it was enough for him to understand that the so-called Drowned God died at the hands of a human......

The gods of this world are mysterious, but mystery does not mean powerful.
