There was no buffer for the sudden outbreak of war, and on the third day of the arrival of the royal letter, the knights and soldiers of the High Court were ready to board the large number of transport ships moored in the river outside the castle.

Heavy armor was not convenient for naval battles, but land battles could also occur if the battle went well, so the knights still wore their own plate armor.

Even the Duke of Tyrell was no exception.

The core team was led by the majestic Duke of Riverlands to embark on the ship, as the "spectator" designated by His Majesty the King, and the little point of Lan Li was also in the ranks, but before he got on the ship, he faced a problem.

"You're too disinterested in our friendship, Lan Li." Vilas, the brown-haired boy who had arrived to see him off, spoke with a look of resentment in his eyes.

"Obviously I brought it up first, how can you leave me alone?"

His plan for a petition had been aborted, as the Duchess had personally spoken to him about it the night before, and Vilas had to compromise.

It's just that he obviously failed, but the one in front of him actually succeeded......

"I can't help it."

Lan Li blinked and replied, "It's all your father's decision. ”

"Then you forged that letter, why didn't you add me too?" Villas didn't know how Lan Li was forged, but he knew that the sudden letter must be fake, so the outcome was not difficult to guess.

"Plus you're weird, and it's going to make your father angry." Lan Li replied solemnly, then stood on tiptoe and patted the other party's shoulder: "Stay in the High Court with peace of mind, I wish you a happy hunting operation in the near future." I'll tell you about the war when I get back. ”

"You don't want me to hide this for you." Velas said dissatisfied.

"I'm sure you will." Lan Li replied with a smile, and then ignored the expression, stepped onto the boat, and hurried towards the arranged room under the guidance of the guard.

At the same time, he began to think silently in his mind about this voyage.

Soon after, the transports moored on the banks of the river will be heading down the west coast of the river called the Mandeb River.

Their destination was to travel to the Shield Islands off the west coast to meet the Lords of the Bend.

And Lan Li's entourage was limited to this, or rather, he didn't have the idea of staying in the fleet all the time.

His goal was to find the rumored Jaspi, not to watch the war, and the curse he possessed kept him from actually sailing with the fleet within the ocean.

Otherwise, if the storm is really summoned, then this war will really be lost.

……

On the stone bridge, watching the ship slowly moving away, Vilas. Tyrell had mixed feelings.

On the one hand, he was depressed that he, the initiator, had been abandoned in the territory, and on the other hand, he was surprised by Lan Li's unexpected method.

As a very precocious child of a great nobleman, Villas is smart and studious, and knows how to go on his future path, so he has a clear goal, and the idea of wanting to go out with the army before is a curiosity unique to teenagers, but more of a purpose is actually to increase his knowledge.

As for the black-haired boy, although he was a little surprised by his early wisdom, he also knew that he was "unambitious", as well as his lazy personality, and he had no mature plans and ideas for his future lord career in daily chats, and seemed to be no different from those who relied on his identity to make a living.

It's just that when the problem arises, the little guy who he seems to be a fool of life surpasses him at a fast speed, and he, a person who thinks he has a mature mind, can only stand in place and look at the other party's back stupidly......

"What's wrong with you, Vilas?"

The little fat man in green tugged at the corner of the brown-haired young man's clothes who was bowing his head and contemplating, and asked curiously, "Aren't you reluctant to father?" ”

"Nothing, Garland." The brown-haired boy sighed, "I suddenly feel that I still have a lot to learn. ”

These words made the little fat man seem to understand whether he understood or not.

"You mean learning to recognize the stars in the sky? There are so many stars in the sky, of course you have to learn a lot. ”

"Astronomy is just a hobby, I mean something else......"

As they spoke, the two brothers and the send-off party had returned to the castle.

The atmosphere in the castle had become a little deserted that night, and the brown-haired boy who had practiced harpist-charging was quite at a loss without the annoying guy who played the harp every day.

So he finished his practice early without waiting for dark, wiped his sweat, and walked in the direction of the Bachelor's Tower.

The time was short, and he was ready to read the book before going to dinner.

But before Velas could reach the Tower, he suddenly saw a stranger appear in sight.

It was a woman talking to the maid or something, tall and slender, with her back to him, and her long silver hair draped over a black cloak made Villas subconsciously think of her mother, but when you look closely, the color of her hair is not very different from her mother......

Who's this?

A curiosity rose in Vilas's heart, and at the same time, as if sensing his gaze, the black-cloaked woman suddenly looked back at him.

It was a delicate but strange face, which looked very young and beautiful at first glance, but when I looked at it again, it seemed to see an old man who had gone through vicissitudes, and in the dim light, a pair of dark blue eyes seemed to be full of tough aggression, which made the brown-haired young man who had not experienced any wind and waves feel nervous.

But he didn't get nervous for long, and the man turned and walked away quickly, disappearing from sight in a few breaths.

"Who was that guy just now?" Velas looked dazed for a moment, and finally stopped the maid to ask.

"It's from Madame's family." The maid replied.

"Mother's relative, how come I don't know?" Vilas was stunned.

"This ......"

The maid was at a loss for this: "I don't know, young master, but if it wasn't for someone from the Madame family, how would she enter the castle?" ”

Hearing this, Vilas's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "What did she tell you?" ”

"Inquire about Lord Lan Li's personality, appearance, temper, and ask if you have any quirks or something." The maid replied.

"What about the other than that?"

"And ask him where he went."

The maid said, and asked cautiously, "Did I get into trouble?" Master? ”

"No, maybe I didn't know that my mother's family was here." Villas replied comfortingly that he didn't want to cause any panic in the castle and let some gossip circulate.

The maid was relieved when she heard this, and the brown-haired boy asked again, "Did she say what her name was?" ”

"I didn't say what it was called." The maid replied after thinking about it, but seeing that her young master frowned because of this, she added: "But I saw that lady's eyes seemed to be ...... It seems to be purple. ”
