Walking in the silence of the sacred tree forest next to the southern wall of the Red Castle, the sound of birdsong and the crunch of leaves under your feet is the most obvious sound in this place, and the surrounding trees are towering, elm, cypress, and black poplar......

Dense trees stand tall and greenery overhead, and the road in front of them is covered in specks of radiating sunlight.

There was a calming atmosphere here, and there was no stinking smell in the air like other places in King's Landing, it was a great place to relax, and Lan Li faintly felt that he had missed a lot before-

But it's not too late to find out.

Lan Li's destination is the core heart tree in the Divine Wood Forest, because the Seven Gods need to loot the power to repair the dagger at the Heart Tree, but when he arrives at the Heart Tree, he suddenly finds a person who should not be here - Cersei.

The sound of his footsteps was not hidden, and even when he saw the woman in the crimson dress standing under the heart tree, the other party also turned his head to look over, Lan Li couldn't help frowning when he saw this, because he found that this beautiful woman with bright blonde hair was bruised on her left cheek at this time.

"Her Royal Highness." Lan Li paused and saluted.

The other party didn't seem to expect someone to come to disturb him, and it didn't seem to be Lan Li, who has been in the limelight recently, Baratheon, couldn't help but purse his lips, but he didn't raise his hand to cover the "ugliness" on his face, but smiled and nodded generously at the black-haired young man.

"Why is Lord Lan Li here?"

"I occasionally come out to relax, but I don't want to meet His Highness here." Lan Li replied politely.

Although he had regarded the other party as an imaginary enemy, no one could see the hostility on his face at this time.

"It's quiet, it's not as noisy as the Templar, and it's a good place to relax." Queen Cersei said in a non-hurried tone, her turquoise eyes wandering as she glanced at her surroundings, "But if there were gods, the Old Gods would probably be angry that we used his sanctuary as a place of recreation, and didn't know anything about reverence." ”

"If God is really God, then does He still care what humans think of Him?" Lan Li shrugged and replied.

"It's a pity that I'm not a god, otherwise I would have been able to answer your question."

……

The Sacred Grove is the "Sanctuary" of the Old Gods of the North, and the beliefs of the Old Gods spread throughout the continent before the ancient Andals and the Seven Gods they believed in, so naturally, this kind of site is also common in Westeros, and most of the historic castles are there.

However, except for the northern realm and some scattered areas, no one believes in the old gods anymore, and even the place under your feet, or most of the sacred trees in the castle, has become a forest garden for ordinary relaxation, and few people who enter this place have a devout and awe-inspiring heart.

At the moment, the two of them are naturally the same, but no one cares about it, and after a few words of laughter, seeing that Lan Li has no intention of leaving, Cersei took the initiative to leave.

Looking at her departing back, Lan Li couldn't help frowning.

The other party's walking posture looks dignified and elegant, just looking at the back, who can guess that her face has been broken at this time?

It was obviously a trace of being slapped hard, silently revealing the existence of domestic violence.

And as a queen, who would dare to beat her if she was above 10,000 people under one person?

The answer is self-explanatory.

Lan Li couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, looking back on the past, he realized that he had done the wrong thing in the first place.

The fundamental contradiction between Cersei and Robert is not that Cersei is cheating with her brother, but that the two have a discordant temper, and even if there is no problem with the heirs, other problems will emerge.

He couldn't help but think of more.

Cersei had an affair with her brother before she got married, and Robert had an illegitimate daughter before she got married.

After marriage, Robert went out to prostitute every other day, and after marriage, Cersei had an affair with her brother and had three illegitimate children......

Obviously, neither Cersei nor Robert are well-behaved, no matter what mood they are in or what they are difficult to hide, both of them behave in a half-hearted manner, and according to Lan Li, neither of them is much better than the other.

And who will be the king in the future does not seem to have much to do with himself...... So what's the matter with cheap big brother cuckolding?

As long as there is no other mess, what if the Lannisters sit on the Iron Throne?

It's just that it seems a bit of a matter of assumption, if only it were that simple......

After thinking about it for a while, Lan Li suddenly felt a sense of misanthropy, he felt that it was really annoying enough to be deeply immersed in this kind of boring drama, when would he be able to put down everything and be a traveler quietly?

After sighing, he shook his head and walked under the heart tree.

The heart tree in the Red Fort Divine Tree Forest is different from other places, and the heart tree in the Divine Tree Forest is generally a pale fishbeam tree, but at the moment it is a large oak tree.

The oak tree was broad and thick, with leafy branches, small red grass growing around its roots, and an exaggerated, archaic-looking human face carved on its trunk.

Kneeling here, Lan Li found that his face was facing this face, and after a few glances, he suddenly had the illusion that this face was really a human face pressed on it, rather than being carved on.

Of course, this feeling cannot be real, because the lines of this face are simple and exaggerated, and at first glance, it looks like a grimace.

"If you come to see it at night, you will probably seep into a panic."

Muttering in a low voice, Lan Li raised his left hand holding the dagger and touched the face on the Heart Tree.

There is a dagger in the middle, but it will not block the exertion of a certain power, and the seven gods who have existed for more than 10,000 years but have rarely descended miracles are now slowly using the marks on Lan Li's wrist to do some things, but they need to be touched by Lan Li's own hands.

The resurrection of the past, the dyeing of hair, and the "predatory power" of the present.

The rough trunk was a little cold and hard to the touch, and a faint golden light then grew out from the palm of Lan Li's touch to the trunk, and crowded out along the gap between the fingers and around the palm, and became brighter and brighter.

The light in the Shenmu Forest was originally a little dim, but at this moment, the golden light bloomed, but it was like a bright lamp was lit, and the handsome face of the black-haired young man was thus illuminated, as if it was plated with a layer of brilliant gold, but for some reason, the light that came out of the gap in the palm of his hand became brighter and brighter, but Lan Li didn't feel the slightest glare of the light.

The light from the palm of the hand gradually penetrated into the big oak tree, which did not seem obvious for a while, but gradually, the whole tree slowly lit up with golden light, as if there was a golden flame smoldering from the trunk, and the light radiated through the bark.

This encounter was a bit unexpected, and it also made him regret that he didn't wait a while, but at this time, Lan Li wanted to stop, but found that his hand seemed to have been tightly restrained by a rope on the trunk of the tree, and he couldn't get out of it no matter how he pulled it.

It seems that once the process starts, there is no way to stop.

So he could only grit his teeth and keep this posture, with a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, after a while, there was a female exclamation on the back.
