124 The future of the gnomes

At the beginning of the wedding banquet in the evening, Lan Li was still thinking about the cat and the dragon eggshell.

It's normal for the cat to disappear, after all, it's a moving guy, but the eggshell disappears a little wrong.

Lan Li had locked the eggshell in his "trash can" before, and in order to prevent someone from opening it without his knowledge, he also learned a trick from his old memories and put a hair on the lock.

So if someone touched the lock, he would be able to find out.

However, when he opened the box earlier, the hair was still there, but the eggshell inside was missing......

The lock, the hair, and the door he was sticking upside down, how did that thing disappear under the triple protection?

Lan Li felt that this was a supernatural event, and in addition, the missing cat and the Zedi people who suddenly came to look for the cat also made him feel very weird.

It's as if something happened without me knowing.

So, what is it?

With this question in his mind, the black-haired boy absentmindedly had already sliced the plate of onion cheese pie in front of him with a dagger in his hand but didn't know it, and even the blonde ugly boy who was sitting next to him and had been ignoring him all looked at him deliberately, and stopped talking, but he didn't say anything when he opened his mouth several times.

The vast throne hall was crowded with people at this time, long tables were distributed in all directions, servants were busy with plates of dishes with different aromas, and nobles stood up to shout in response when the king got up to toast.

In the staggered environment, top singers from all over the seven countries took turns to sing at the King's Banquet table, and the surrounding music was incessant, and the flickering lights enveloped all directions, and the atmosphere became more and more intense.

The King's table was in the shadow of the towering Iron Throne, long enough to seat all the members of the families of both marriages, and Lan Li sat in a chair three seats away from the King, flanked by two Lannisters, one his "age" Tyrion, and the other a blonde young man named Jillian.

There was a lot of noise around, and the blonde young man on the left was talking softly to Stannis next to him, and it was hard to tell with a smile on his face that he had actually been speechless for a long time, but unfortunately the other party had been lukewarm.

Farther in the heart, the young king was watching with interest the acrobatic performances of men and women in the open space in front of the table, and from time to time he was talking to the people around him, as if some words such as Reese and funny acrobatics drifted into his ears.

The newlywed queen sitting beside him maintained a dignified and elegant appearance with a smile on her face, and her every move amazed many people who observed her, either explicitly or secretly.

Of course, due to some of the news that had been widely circulated before, more people looked at the side of the king's long table, that is, a blonde-haired white-robed figure standing quietly in the shadow of the Iron Throne, with different emotions in their eyes after observing her.

The initiator doesn't care about these special circumstances at the moment, extending from the black cat's problems to himself, and thinking about some things in the future......

The environment in the banquet was quite noisy, but it seemed to be a good place for Lan Li to think.

It's a pity that this kind of thinking was quietly broken under the words of the people next to him.

"I'm weird, Lan Li."

The voice next to him seemed to have some complicated emotions, anticipation, entanglement, loss, and apprehension......

Lan Li looked sideways, and the little devil who was very famous in his memory had his facial features tangled together at this time, and he looked very entangled.

"What's weird?" He asked.

"In the afternoon, you laugh at them for being ugly." The ugly boy's words surprised Lan Li a little, but she nodded anyway.

"yes, what's wrong?"

"You say, you don't play with ugly and stupid people."

The blonde boy stared at him and said, "But why are you playing with me?" ”

This made Lan Li a little dazed, and he couldn't understand why this person would ask such a question, but before he could speak, the other party said to himself: "I'm uglier than them, and I don't think I'm smart, and besides, in addition to being ugly, I'm still a- or a deformed dwarf." ”

As he spoke, his two-colored eyes carefully looked at Lan Li's facial expression at this time.

"Based on how you're talking to those two guys, you should be ignoring me as a talent, so why don't you look down on me at all? Is it because of my family? But it's not like it, many people are polite to me because of my family, but their eyes are not like yours, so what's the reason? ”

The boy, who was sensitive and fragile, with wrinkled features, was frowning at Lan Li at this time, as if trying to think about a very incomprehensible question.

"I've been thinking about it all afternoon, but I haven't figured it out, can you tell me why?"

So why are you bothered with this kind of problem? Lan Li was secretly helpless, but he couldn't figure out many of his questions, so he didn't think about them for the time being, and after thinking about it, he said: "You're ugly, but I don't think you're stupid." ”

His words made the boy scratch his head, and his face was strange.

"And you think I'm smart?"

"Nope." Lan Li shook his head and said with the other party's stunned expression: "I think you will be very smart in the future." ”

This is basically telling the truth, but unfortunately the other party can't understand his words, and he feels very dazed after hearing it.

Seeing this, Lan Li explained: "You like to read, and you can read it. This is important because even those adults rarely like to read. ”

"Bachelors also love to read." Tyrion shook his head, "It's not a good thing. ”

"It's really not a big deal to like to read."

Lan Li replied: "But a boy who can take the initiative to read a book without being urged by anyone still seems to me to be quite rare." ”

As he spoke, he turned around, cut a piece of food with a dagger, and stuffed it into his mouth, whether it was peacock meat or heron meat, and said slightly vaguely: "So back to the previous question, why do I treat you differently from others?" ”

"Because I'm optimistic about your future."

"That's it?"

The other party was stunned and asked, "Are you optimistic about the future of a dwarf?" ”

"Or else? What else could there be? ”

Lan Li shrugged.

"Optimistically, Tyrion, you have a lot of good things that you just don't know about, or you know but you lack confidence. I guess it's because of your appearance, but I think that a person's appearance does not affect what kind of person he will become in the future, only the direction of effort and choice is. ”

After he finished speaking, he ignored the other party's expression, lowered his head and picked up a bowl of broth and drank it, but when he saw something break into his sight out of the corner of his eye, the boy couldn't help swallowing, and then his eyes widened.

It was a rolling, dusty, moving chicken leg.
