153. Extramarital affairs
By the time Lan came out of Xiufu's rented house, it was still dark.
His questions had been prepared in his mind with Mentos, and he was able to pull out the main information cleanly.
Before leaving, Lan En gave Shufu another [Axifa Seal], making him think that it was just a vague nightmare.
By tomorrow, he himself will not be able to remember clearly, and then he will live as usual and prepare to participate in the tournament.
The current situation is that the enemy is dark and I am clear, and Lan En doesn't want this guy to put on a tangled expression of 'I leaked secrets, am I dying' everywhere.
As if he was afraid that others would not know that someone had looked for him.
Taking advantage of the night, Lan En did not return to the Red Keep in time, but turned to Iron Street.
He wanted to learn about Tob Mott's Valyrian steel along the way.
The basic home of a blacksmith in this era was a storefront.
When Lan arrived at the blacksmith shop, where he had just consumed during the day, he easily found the master blacksmith.
Then put a [Axifa Seal] on him.
His will was worse than that of Xiufu, and he didn't even need to guide his emotions in advance, and in the confusion of his sleep, he began to brag about his craftsmanship.
Lane and Mentos made text and voice recordings to ensure a complete record of the spells and techniques used to cast Valyrian steel.
"Sir, these techniques do not make Valyrian steel, it can only be recast on existing steel."
"I know, but if this knowledge is based, I believe that with Rita's level of magic, it should not be difficult to complete the complete forging spell."
"Sir, then I reckon you will have to match Lady Margarita with a blacksmith of no less skill."
"Belengar, didn't that guy always say he wanted to open a blacksmith shop? After living for hundreds of years, there should always be a certain level of craftsmanship. ”
Seeing that Lan En was actually all in order, Mentos stopped talking.
Tob Mott's skills are always cloudy and secretive when he usually brags.
But as with most technologies, crossing the threshold is a few key things.
Ryan got a mouthful spell from him, as well as two temperature nodes and durations. The recasting technology of Valyrian steel is in hand.
By the time Lanne returned to the gates of the Red Keep, it was in the darkest part of the pre-dawn period.
The small door embedded in the door of the Red Keep, which he had closed but was unlocked when he left.
As long as it's not a deliberate pull, you can't see the problem.
Now it's just right for him to go back.
The guards of the Red Keep still looked like they were doing their jobs, which made Lan's night walk as easy as going home.
When he returned to the Prime Minister's Tower and took off his insecure black leather clothes in his room, Ed approached the door with a candle.
"Looks like you haven't slept all night? Cheer up during the day, lest anyone find out. ”
Ran greeted Eddard, and the two sat down on chairs in the room.
"It's about the truth about my adoptive father's death, and I can't sleep."
As he spoke, Ed's throat was visibly choked and his eyes were red.
It seems that he has a really good relationship with the former prime minister.
"I'll get straight to the point." Lann leaned back in his chair and whispered.
Xiu also believed that it was the Lannister's hand, claiming that the former Prime Minister had died of a 'curse', and that the Lannisters had tried to prevent him from finding out something on several occasions before. There was no illness or disaster, and the old man with a strong body died of acute gastrointestinal disease overnight. This scared Shuo a lot, is that the message from your side? Are you sure it's a gastroenterology? ”
Ed nodded heavily, "Robert had already asked the bachelor to check it many times at that time, and it was confirmed that it was a gastrointestinal disease. ”
Lan En nodded, his face not discolored.
"But I still think it's just a rare and expensive drug, something like a curse. If you really want to master it here, why use it on an old man? ”
"And there's more."
Speaking of which, Lan looked at Ed with a strange expression.
This expression even made the hand of the king a little overwhelmed.
"According to Shuo, the reason he wasn't taken away by Lady Lyza, your sister-in-law, is that he vaguely knows something about Lady Lyza's extramarital affair."
Ed's expression changed from grief to astonishment at this news.
The process of change made Lan En want to laugh a little bit to say something less moral.
It's hard to imagine that Eddard Stark, a figure as cold and stern as a glacier rock, would have such an expression.
"This Lysa she is and. Who? ”
"Petyr Berish, 'Littlefinger', Chancellor of the Exchequer. I don't know this person, it's all Shufu's words. Judging by the title of position, you should have met him at the Imperial Council. ”
Lan En shrugged, not thinking it was a big deal.
After all, the absurd and excessive lifestyle of the aristocracy was a well-known thing, and Lan En thought it was just another joke.
But as Ed's expression gradually became serious, there was also a hint of absurdity mixed with it.
The witcher's sense told Rann that he seemed to have stumbled upon something.
Think about the people Ed met during the investigation, and the answer is about to come out.
"I said, this can't be the one" At this moment, even Lan En's expression was a little stunned.
"The 'man who has a crush on his wife', right?"
After a long silence, Ed nodded with a cold face.
"Wow, this is really" Mr. Lan, a simple young man from the countryside, clapped his hands lightly in amazement, speechless.
"I've been checking it together for a long time, and all the guys who can't trust you are helping you?!"
The adoptive father's widow's warning was an important reason for Ed to become prime minister, and it turned out that the widow was an extramarital affair.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who his wife said he could trust, was a man who had an affair with his adoptive father's widow.
The Prime Minister suddenly felt that he had been being treated like a fool the whole time since he came to King's Landing!
Even in the current mood of anger, Ed thinks that these two people are more suspected of murder than the Lannisters!
But wait until he takes a few deep breaths and calms down.
He knew that the main enemy at the moment was the Lannister family, where the queen belonged.
In the final analysis, the former prime minister was killed only after finding something appalling. A simple extramarital affair doesn't have to do this at all.
"Berry invited me to go for a walk in the courtyard of the Wang family this morning, saying that he had any information to give me."
Ed told Rann about the day's agenda.
It was clear that he had relied a little on Ran's judgment now.
"Then listen to what he wants to show you. By the way, no one will notice what I'm doing today, so I hope your acting skills will be a little better. ”
"Acting?" The stern, stubborn Northerner pursed his lips, "I-I'll try." ”
