40 Fallen Dragons (9)

That night, the moonlight was sparse, and a large flat-decked fishing boat anchored on the shore not far from the fishing village was unroped by an olive-skinned Dorn rider who stepped on the boat with a group of other Dornish people, hoisted their sails and paddled away from the shore.

"Tell me, if Lorne's mother is really blessed by the river, why would he be sick?" Shaking the oars, some of the crew members muttered quietly, and as they spoke, they looked at the black-haired man who was slumped there at the stern, and the other party was humming and chirping at this time, as if he had a fever.

"Isn't the priest always sick?" The other retorted, but did not dare to say too loudly, for the priest was sitting at the bow of the boat, talking to the leading Dorn.

"He can stay in the sea for so long and not drown, I think what he said is true." "I've seen him, he couldn't do it before," he spoke. ”

"Maybe it's some kind of evil method."

"What the priest thinks is true is true." The agreeer replied in a low voice: "And he is right, he has no reason to betray us, and there is no reason to come to us." ”

"I just don't think he's lying." The other person listening next to him nodded in agreement.

……

This basically represents the thoughts of most people on this ship, and the people in this ship are all the soldiers who rode horses before.

The bargaining chip that finalized the ending was Lan Li's breath held in the sea for three hours.

At first, despite what he said, the Dornish were suspicious, but with the emergence of the supernatural, most of them unconsciously and completely believed him, and then had a strong faith in the sacrifice and the Mother River.

It's hard to say whether this is persuasion by words, or the expectation of rebellion against the demon dragon aroused by that special power, in short, among the more than twenty people on this ship at this time, including Lan Li and Rhaenys.

The little queen, who still had a black face, was now trapped at the mast, facing the hostile gaze around her with anger and despair, and a hint of undetectable horror, and her former companion was treated much better.

The group of Dornites who were hostile to Lan Li at the beginning politely invited him onto the ship, the most polite of them all, especially the gloomy old man.

However, despite this, Lan Li did not fully gain trust, and all the weapons he had were taken away before he got on the boat, and at the same time, two soldiers were sitting near him all the time, seemingly sitting casually, but in fact they were vigilant that he jumped into the sea and fled.

It's just that this is already a good treatment, and it's better than being hacked to death on the spot.

Lan Li was very satisfied with this, he thought that everything had to be done step by step, and now it was just the beginning.

There is only one thing he needs to do at the moment - feign illness.

And he was doing it, lying motionless at the stern of the boat, with a weak face.

He looked sick since he came out of the sea, and even slumped on the stern of the boat with a confused face as if he was asleep, and even no matter who spoke to him, there was basically no effective response.

This naturally made the people around him have a trace of doubt, but Lan Li had to do it.

The reason is very simple, he is a fake Dorn, but also a fake Royna, and for this race, he is limited to some common sense that he has seen in books, and more does not know anything at all.

It's okay to fool people in a short period of time, and continue to talk to ensure that he is exposed, not to mention that there is a so-called former opponent here, so he can only do this.

But Lan Li is not just pretending to be sick now, he is really not feeling well at the moment.

At this time, his throat was very painful, and he roared with a mouth cannon, which was effective and effective, but it also brought some bad consequences.

Of course, this doesn't make a difference, but there is another condition that is much worse than a sore throat - lurking in the sea is completely different from the feeling of being in a basin or even a river.

Being in the sea, it seems that the endless cold is constantly rushing towards him, allowing him to survive underwater for a long time, but the heat in his body is constantly expelled by the cold, and even the longer he dives continuously, the more severe the cold he feels.

It would have been better if he could ventilate, but in order to achieve the effect, Lan Li kept gritting his teeth and persevering, and even after breaking through the water, he was already trembling and his face was pale.

He estimated that if he continued to stay, he would most likely freeze to death.

So intentionally or unintentionally, Lan Li's illness seemed very real, and he couldn't see any illusion at all.

But the talk about him didn't stop - no matter what, the Dornites on this ship were now at odds with the people of Dorne as a whole, and they were inevitably impetuous in the face of the tremendous pressure.

……

"It happened suddenly, but he had the power, and everyone saw it." The old priest at the bow of the boat was comforting his companion at this time.

"Words can be fake, the gift of the Mother River must not, you can't stay in the water for that long, and neither can I, he is very courageous, and the great Mother River thinks that he has taken a fancy to him."

The old man, who was hostile at the beginning, now seems to have become a die-hard fan of Lan Li, and he admires and expects him between words.

"I didn't doubt him too much." The black-haired Done man who was talking to him shook his head and denied it: "I'm just worried, what if we do this, if Master Ulle knows?" ”

The originally enthusiastic summoned men ran to ambush and arrest people, and after several days of ambush, they finally met the target, but after some negotiations, they ran with the traitor to the sea - although they did not think that the traitor was a real traitor at this time, but others did not know.

If this is spread, there may be serious consequences.

"The castle of Urle is half a month away from us." The old priest said, "Even if someone goes to report the news, we will already be at the Green Blood River by then." ”

As he spoke, he snorted: "At that time, we will meet with the High Priest and obtain his support, so even if Uller knows, this matter will not be changed." ”

There is a river in the eastern part of Dorne called the Greenblood River, which is home to a group of pure-blooded Roynar who refuse to assimilate into the native culture of Dorne and have maintained the customs of the ancient Loyna civilization from which the old priests once came out.

"If only we do the right thing." The big man replied sullenly. Although he believed Lan Li's words at this time, there would always be doubts and considerations before the truth really happened.

"Otherwise, would the high priest you said still be able to sustain us?"

The old priest smiled slightly when he heard this.

"We can't be sure that what he said is true, but no one can say that it is false, whether it is true or false, and the high priest will naturally make the right judgment."

There were some things he didn't say, but in fact the people on board knew about it.

Despite being some illiterate, they are not stupid either.

What Lan Li said is true, then it's easy to say anything, and if it's fake, the price is just a journey. With the captives in hand, when and how to dispose of them is not up to them?

Even thinking deeply, catching Rhaenys, the enemy of Dorn, and operating it well can bring them more benefits.

Of course, most of the riders didn't think about it, but the old man, who was a priest, had always had this thought - whether it was true or not, what happened tonight was a good thing for them.

……

Apparently the old priest didn't think anything would happen.

It's a pity that he didn't take into account someone's cunning.

Although Lan Li's entire body had been searched before, and his weapons were basically removed except for the clothes on his body, in fact, Lan Li secretly hid a dagger - with the dagger mastery of this ability, his skillful hiding was not discovered by this group of Dorn.

At this time, Lan Li, who was slumped in the stern of the boat, looked weak, but in fact, he had been paying attention to the situation around him, preparing to burst out when the right time came.

There are currently many more Dorns on the ship than on land, but being at sea and relying on the mermaid's breath, Lan Li thinks that he can jump into the sea even if he is not an enemy, and then tries to scuttle the ship with his own hands.

At that point, it will be time for him to take the initiative.

It's a pity that his plan hasn't really had time to be implemented yet, and a rather strange accident suddenly happens-

The storm is coming.
