273 Clues to the Curse

It was an ordinary-looking half-hand-sword, the handguard was half-curved, the black grip was rough and hard, and the blade was more than a meter long, with rust on it and many chips and cracks.

The sun was shining outside the window, but when it shone on the surface of the long sword on the table, it didn't reflect any light, not because of rust, but because the sword itself seemed to be special.

But in contrast, Lan Li was more curious about another object that was fished out of the lakeβ€”

A grayish skull of a bird.

His wet clothes had been replaced by dry nightgowns, and he sat upright at the table, fiddling with the half-palm-sized bird bones in his hands, and Lan Li groaned.

He could feel a special power contained in this skull, and holding it in his hand faintly hooked a certain quality in his body, making him always feel attracted to this bird's skull.

In fact, it was the bird's bones that led him to the lake!

This attraction is wonderful, as if there is a piece of iron in his body, and the bird skull in his hand is a magnet, and the iron in his body is constantly being attracted by the magnet, not strong, but it is taking effect anytime and anywhere.

Lan Li was unfamiliar with this situation, but he felt a sense of familiarity with the power contained within the bird skull in his hand, and after some contemplation, he looked at the Naga sigil on his left wrist.

The power within the bird's skull is similar to the fire breath contained in the Naga sigil!

"Divinity too? Is this bird's bone the remains of God? Same as Naga ribs in the Iron Isles? ”

Lan Li secretly guessed.

After five days of watching, and seeing that the rain was really unstoppable, he walked out of the castle and jumped into the lake.

What happened after that was simple, following the "voice" he picked up the bird skull that attracted him from the lake, and the sword stuck in the mud next to the bird skull.

Then, when he was out of the lake, the rain outside stopped.

Obviously, the storm had something to do with the bird's bone in his hand.

Therefore, Lan Li has a lot of associations.

The rainstorm that this bird's bone induces in order to lead him past is obviously similar in nature, or even identical, to the curse he carries, so does it mean that the power contained in this bird's bone is the source of the curse in his body?

In other words, the power of the curse in the body is the same as the power in the bird's bones?

Because of the same origin, they have mutual induction?

The evidence is not limited to this, there are some ancient legends.

In the legend of the Stormlands, the Storm's Breath Castle inherited by the Baratheon family was built by the first Storm King of Antiquity, Duren, who secretly married the daughter of the god of the sea and the god of wind, Ini, thus angering the two gods and killing the entire family by the storm.

To counter these two gods, Durham began to build the Storm's End, only to be destroyed by the storms summoned by the gods.

However, he was not discouraged, destroying one and rebuilding one, and going back and forth, until finally the seventh castle, which is now the one built, succeeded in containing the storm at sea and keeping the wrath of the gods out of it.

Then Duron lived happily with the goddess Ini in the Storm's End for thousands of years.

In the eyes of many people, this story is just a story, but considering the curse that has inexplicably appeared on his body, Lan Li is half-convinced, maybe there is indeed a substance in Baratheon's blood that provokes the wrath of the gods, and this substance has awakened in his own body?

The gods in the story are the goddess of the wind and the god of the sea, and they have no names and no known believers, but their powers are clearly related to the storm.

And Lan Li also knew about another god, and that was the God of Storms.

The God of Storms is one of the only two gods in the culture of the Iron Islands, and is an evil villain who has always been against the Drowning God.

In the legend, there are not many descriptions of the storm god, and the two sentences that Lan Li pays special attention to are - in the hall that dwells in the clouds, the crow is his servant.

Lan Li believed that the Storm God was actually a raven in ancient times, not a servant.

Because when he watched Naga's memory flashback in the Iron Islands, he saw Naga's fire, or the divinity of the drowning god, was actually extinguished by a crow.

And right now, the bird's skull in his hand seems to be the crow's skull......

"The curse on my body is related to the storm, the legend of the first Storm King in ancient times provoked the gods of the sea to invite a storm, the legendary storm god of the Iron Islands is related to the crow, and this bird's bone can attract a storm, which seems to have the same origin as the curse...... The two gods in the Legend of Stormlands are actually the storm gods of the Iron Isles? Are they actually one and not two? Is the storm god a raven that has been dead for a long time? Its head is in my hand right now? ”

Looking at the gray and white bird bone in his hand, Lan Li felt that this guess seemed to be quite reliable, but he still had some doubts about it.

A simple bird's bone cannot have power, and what has power can only be the divinity of the gods.

However, although there is a divine aura in this bone, it does not seem to be complete.

Scattered?

The curse in his own body was made of a wisp of divinity? So to trigger the storm?

No one could answer this, and Lan Li didn't think he could guess the exact truth based on speculation, so after thinking about it, he simply ignored this for the time being, and instead looked at the long sword on the table.

If, as he had guessed, the bird's bones were the remains of the storm god, what would be the sword that killed the bird?

There aren't many clues, but considering the location, it's not without eyebrows.

Ranley remembers that when he was a child at Storm's End, Maester Clerson told him a story about the island of Thas, and there seemed to be a sword in that story.

So he went out to inquire a little, and succeeded in learning a local legend from a maid.

"We people on the island of Tass are all descendants of Sir Caledun, do you know who Sir Caledun is? My lord, he was a valiant warrior who was adored even by the virgin goddess of heaven. So the goddess gave him a magic sword as a token of love. Legend has it that the sword, called the Lady of Justice, is so sharp that no weapon or shield can fight it. Because the sword was so powerful, the proud Sir Caledon only used it three times in his life, and not once on mortals, as it would make the fight unfair...... Sir Caledon is a perfect knight, my lord, and I hear that you are a knight too? I think you must be a very good knight. ”

"Do you need to take care of your weapons? Maybe I can help you ......"

……

While Ranley was bothering to find out the origins of the two things on the island of Tas, some people in King's Landing were shocked by the letter he had written earlier.

"Captured Viserys. Targaryen? ”

Looking at the letter in his hand in a daze, the fat Chancellor of the Exchequer Mace at the table of the Imperial Council. Tyrellle's eyes glared at the boss, "How is this possible?" ”
