Lan Li believed that the storm was unavoidable, because the phenomena outside were exactly the same as his previous encounters, silently revealing that the curse residue in his body had returned.

However, just as they were preparing to wait in silence, there was no storm that day. And the next day, when the dawn was in full bloom, they saw that the dark clouds that covered the sky had quietly dispersed.

"Why is this happening?"

Standing in front of the window and staring at everything, Lan Li was a little puzzled by this.

Counting all the things yesterday, it seems that there are no special circumstances except for a crow flying by, so the storm that should have appeared was ...... by that crow?

Overall, this was a good thing, and he was happy to see it, and it seemed that the curse on his body had a "cooldown", and there was no sign of a recurrence in the following days, until they were safely sent to land by the captain of the Angry Hammer.

The destination of the Angry Hammer was still farther under the city of Haijiang, but that didn't mean that Lan Li and the two needed to follow, so after waving goodbye to the brig that was gradually moving away, Lan Li took a bag of Baron. The golden dragon that Greyjoy had given him, and a tall, thin "man" like a bamboo pole strode on the road back to the High Court.

"The initial route was to cross the city of Haijiang, where the war was still fighting, then follow the path along the coastal edge to Lannister Harbor, and finally follow the esplanade there to the High Court."

A bald boy in an ordinary and inconspicuous gray cotton shirt and linen pants said to the bamboo pole beside him: "You can ride a horse, right?" ”

"Is it harder to ride a horse than a dragon?"

The other party's chuckling rhetorical question made Lan Li touch his head, but after hearing that the other party's words were just ridiculing, in fact, after his expression was relaxed, he understood that this person could actually ride a horse, so he nodded and continued to advise: "If we meet someone, we are a father and son, who fled from Haijiang City." It's not very important, but don't be exposed. ”

"Rest assured, the Faceless One is more difficult than you think." Rhaenys said as she glanced at the boy, "I can be anyone if necessary." ”

This guy really isn't the guy who once seemed mature, but actually didn't understand anything.

Lan Li nodded, and then hurried away honestly.

The landfall took place on a clear afternoon, on a rocky beach, and as they progressed deeper into the land, they passed a low pine forest and finally settled in a deserted village when the sky was dark.

"It is said that whenever the Iron People invade, Haijiang City will ring a huge bronze bell to call on the surrounding people to take refuge in the castle."

In the mud house, the two of them had already lit a bonfire for heating, and the dim light shook the hazy shadows of one large and one small, and the green smoke from the firewood also made the air in the farmhouse quite pungent.

"Everyone who wanted to come here has already taken refuge."

The boy looked at the other party as he spoke, and found that this person's expression was much more serious than before, and he couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's too close to the battlefield."

When there were no outsiders, Rhaenys would speak in her original voice, so Lan Li felt very awkward.

"Indeed, but I don't think that in the current situation, the Iron People will still have the heart to send people out to sweep the surrounding villages. It was the end of the war, and there was not much time left for them. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but make a joke when he saw that the expression on the other party's face still hadn't eased.

"Besides, with you, the Great Magician, we still have to be afraid of those stupid mortals?"

Rhaenys gave him a slight glance.

"Magic is not something that can be used casually, it takes time to prepare, and it also comes at a price."

As she spoke, she frowned unconsciously: "Magic is more difficult to perform here than before, and many of them are no longer used. ”

Lan Li didn't have much say about this, so he just shrugged his shoulders.

"Anyway, I don't think there will be any surprises for us to hide here, not to mention how the battle situation is, the Iron People don't have the time to sweep this kind of village that looks like it has been swept away."

This is not a full statement, but it is also quite confident.

It's a pity that accidents always come suddenly, and they are not born according to common sense.

The two of them, who had put out the fire that night, hid in the fur cloaks they had prepared in advance to rest, but relying on their keen hearing, Lan Li suddenly heard an abnormal sound of horses' hooves and quickly approached. This made him, who was half asleep, wake up, and when he got up to look, Rhaenys not far away had also been awakened and was looking over.

The two men looked at each other, then quietly walked to the window of the house and looked out, and then they saw a group of three knights hurrying by the moonlight on the road in the middle of the village, apparently fleeing.

This made Lan Li secretly feel a little bad.

But they didn't act rashly, but stayed quietly in this inconspicuous mud room and watched the outside world carefully.

It didn't take long for the appearance of the pursuer to come into view-

It was a group of iron men, also on horseback, but they obviously didn't look as skilled as the previous three. However, they were not slow, and it took not more than a few tens of seconds from entering the line of sight to disappearing into the distance.

The whole process of chasing and escaping seemed to take only a minute or two, and the two who were awakened were already sleepy at this time, but it seemed that they were still safe.

"There won't be any surprises?"

Rhaenys' rhetorical question made Lan Li a little embarrassed.

"Isn't that no surprise, if you sleep deeply, you won't even notice that this is happening."

The other party didn't respond, but turned around and began to pack his bags, and Lan Li also got busy seeing this.

can be chased by the iron people, obviously some important person, but this has nothing to do with them.

It's just that no matter whether those iron people can catch up with their target or not, there is a high probability that they will still pass through here when they return, so the two of them will be exposed if they stay here, so they must be transferred as soon as possible.

This doesn't need to be stated, they think of it naturally. But seeing such a skilled appearance of the person beside him, as well as some conversations on the road, Lan Li was stunned.

He couldn't match the one next to him with the Rhaenys in his memory, the one he used to be cunning and lively, but the one in front of him was very boring.

Time can change everything.

He thought to himself, then shook his head, ignoring the melancholy that suddenly grew in his heart, and quickly packed up the cloak and fire oil cloth dagger, and then followed her out of the door decisively, and then left the village.

Although it was not the same route as expected, they carefully avoided the direction in which the group was heading, and hurried in the hazy moonlight. However, it seemed that their luck began to deteriorate after they landed on the shore, and before they could hurry, an oncoming knight made the faces of the two of them change instantly-

One of the three runners!

The other party also obviously discovered the existence of the two, so he opened his mouth and roared.

"Run, there's a monster!"

He didn't need to say it, and the two of them had turned around and ran towards a bush behind them, but it sounded a little strange.

This thought arose in his heart, and then Lan Li heard a strange wolf howl behind him, and couldn't help but turn his head to look, and then he saw a human wolf.

Or rather...... Werewolf?
