203 moving chests
Compared with the young and capable female bandit nine years ago, Bailu Wenda in front of her looked like an elegant lady, with neatly combed blonde hair, restrained demeanor, and a much calmer temperament on her body.
"That Melisandre is said to be a red-robed woman who believes in the Lord of Light, my lord, but she's so mysterious that we can't see a real person."
Lan Li, who was sitting at the head of the bed in a thin linen shirt, was tightening the long sleeves that covered his wrists to the palm of his hand at this time, and after hearing this, he asked seemingly casually: "Is it also a door-seeker?" ”
"Yes, Queen Cersei has been using her men to help the red-robed woman search for it in King's Landing."
"Did you find anything?" Lan Li asked again.
In recent years, there has been a group of people in Westeros who are called the Disciples of the Old World, who always preach that the door of the Old World has been opened and the world will be destroyed, so the door must be found and destroyed - the rhetoric is very inconsistency and unpopular.
However, this group of people still has real skills, at least, they are very interested in the occult, or rather, the so-called disciples of the old days are the priests of those god sects outside the Westeros continent, all kinds, including the Red God Sect that believes in the Lord of Light, and the sect behind the red-robed woman who killed "Blue Li" in the original plot.
"Probably not." The blonde replied, "But several areas were cordoned off, a well in the flea nest, a shop on Steel Street, and the throne room was closed for an afternoon. ”
These words made Lan Li frown, and then asked with a serious expression, "My brother agrees to do that?" ”
The black-haired boy's face had an invisible deterrent effect, which made the already respectful woman's head lower when she heard the words, but this did not affect the words in her mouth.
"It is said that it was blocked while His Majesty the King was on his way to Silk Street."
Lan Li's face was relieved when he heard this, so he said half-jokingly: "He always does that, even if he can't die of drinking in the end, he will be infected and die of illness one day." ”
Wen Da couldn't answer this, but Lan Li didn't continue to say anything, but after putting on her boots, she got up and walked to the simple wine cabinet in the room, took out a wine glass and a wine jug, and poured two glasses of wine, one of which was handed to the other party, and she fell into deep thought after taking a sip of the bitter crimson liquid.
The Old World—such a visual thing, naturally he couldn't guess what it was, the old world gate in the mouths of the group of foreign gods and priests was thought to be the chaotic mark on his left wrist, and that group of people could act together regardless of faction, and the information behind it was also obvious.
Just looking for someone can also make Lan Li feel a sense of crisis and find a door......
"How's your body?" He asked as he shifted the subject.
"It feels fine, but occasionally in the evening...... It's going to be itchy. The woman replied, her expression confused.
"How often?"
"Basically every two days."
Lan Li snorted when he heard this, but didn't say anything.
Compared to the improvement of his own knowledge over the years, the things on his left wrist have not changed much, and there is a deal with the Seven Gods that he is currently considering, but he is not sure whether to do it or not. Naga Tinder is still the same, but it has recovered from its weak state. The only change is the ancient path seed, over a long period of time, he has accumulated hundreds of seeds, and this has also made him discover a special feature -
That is, with the passage of time, the original gray tinder will gradually become colorless and transparent, and this transparent tinder does not have any "Tao" in it.
He once experimented with a death row inmate for this reason, and came to the interesting conclusion that the blank seed can become any imaginable or unimaginable power seed, or rather, the blank seed will evolve differently depending on the target of the possession.
This is obviously a good thing, because the ancient path seed Lan Li derived from the wrist cannot be used at all, after all, that thing can affect thinking, and what is created will only be unruly bandits and robbers, and he doesn't think this kind of person has any value at all.
"Come back to the High Court with me early tomorrow morning, observe nearby, and spend more time with your son by the way."
After pondering for a while, Lan Li spoke, "Just have someone watching from King's Landing. ”
"Tobu, how are you doing?" The other party couldn't help but ask when he heard this.
It's also strange to say this, she, a former female bandit, doesn't feel any restraint when the current intelligence head is outside, even in the face of His Majesty the King, but for the master in front of her, she always feels that the other party is very intimidating, and she doesn't even dare to speak casually when she is face to face.
It's just that she doesn't dare anymore, and it is difficult for her to hold back when faced with the news of her son.
"Call me for sure."
Lan Li said with a smile: "Whether it's good or not, you can find out if you go back and see it yourself." ”
The woman was comforted by the fact that she knew that nothing was wrong with her son, and then she stayed here to tell some other less important news, and she took her leave and went through the window.
Lan Li lowered his head again and pondered.
In addition to looking for the door, the priest disciples also actively hunted down the "ancient people" who came over, probably thinking that the ancient people knew the relevant clues, or they may have other influences.
But overall, it doesn't matter to him at the moment.
It's just that he also needs to take precautions for this, after all, those people want to destroy themselves......
With some shady ghost ideas in his mind, Lan Li preliminarily finalized a plan of action that night, but this matter could not be rushed, mainly because he was all the way away in the riverbend, and the intended goal of the plan was in King's Landing, which was really out of reach.
He was going to wait for Bailu Wenda's "vacation" to be completed, or simply wait for him to leave Hewan after a while and officially return to Longshi Island to take over before starting the execution.
That's right, after a while, he's going to leave the High Court and head to Dragonstone Island, the territory-
In Westeros, he came of age at the age of sixteen, and his life as an adopted son in the Tyrells was almost over, and he was still not gone, but he was waiting for the sixty-six name day banquet that would soon follow his cheap adoptive mother.
……
After a night's stay at the manor, the safari party set out early the next morning in the direction of the High Court, finally arriving in the afternoon.
The white castle at the end of the wide river bank is no different from what you first see, but once you enter it, you will find that the people here are not what they once were.
The elegant silver-haired duchess filled in a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, which were not obvious, but silently revealed that this young woman was no longer young, and Lan Li's cheap adoptive mother had been troubled by toothache for a few years ago, but now there was no such trouble, because her teeth had all fallen out. The tall and mighty Duke of Metz was not in the castle, but in King's Landing, and became Chancellor of the Exchequer.
On the other hand, a certain faggot in my memory, who used to walk very hard, has now become a beautiful boy who asks questions after Lan Li's ass during the hunting return dinner, and the wrinkled little baby who was held in the arms of the wet nurse to nurse has now grown into a beautiful little girl with a dignified and elegant temperament, whispering in the corner with several female companions of the same age, and making a burst of crisp laughter from time to time.
"Girls are stupid, and so is Margaery."
The beautiful boy with short soft brown hair beside him muttered to Lan Li.
"I can't be more annoying to giggle at every turn and say childish things all the time."
Lan Li shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and Villas on the other side looked at his little brother curiously after hearing this.
"What did she say childishly?"
"She asked me when the box would move on its own." The boy said disdainfully: "I said how could the chest move, the chest was made of wood, and the wood could not move at all, so she said that there must be a chest that could move, because she had seen it, and when I asked her where she had seen it, she couldn't say anything—she must have wanted me to go all over the castle to find the box to trick me, so I didn't fall for her." ”
Hearing this, Villas nodded his head seriously in agreement, and then muttered quietly with his younger brother, while Lan Li next to him unconsciously squinted, and glanced suspiciously at the girls in the corner of the hall, and happened to see one of them secretly looking at this side, and their eyes met as soon as they touched, and then the other party turned his head as if he was a thief, and his little face pretended to be listening to the words of his friends seriously.
After thinking about it, Lan Li said to Villas beside him, and then walked towards the corner with a serious face.
The box that moves, there happens to be one in his room, it is an item that Lan Li accidentally forgot to pick the "seed" and was touched and alienated by a certain year, and it is also the "garbage bin" where he used to hide things, but this is not the point, the point is, there are a bunch of horror things in the box that even he is quite afraid of-
The pile of toys from his childhood, toys that must not be taken out of the box.
