133 Mouse
"If you don't have the habit of getting up late, Lord Renley, there will be servants who will knock on the door before breakfast and then take you to the restaurant."
...
After the welcome banquet, the heir of the High Court, Viras Tyriel, the next generation Duke of the River Bay, personally sent Renley to the castle and arranged for his residence.
Walking in the quiet white corridor, the boy with brown hair with ears said to the black-haired boy beside him: "After breakfast, it is time for Bachelor Lomis to teach. You have seen Bachelor Lomis at the banquet, so I won't introduce it. At present, he will teach me and Garland in two hours. Garland is still learning to read, and I have a little interest in stargazing. If you like it too, you can go with me. Of course, it is best to plan according to your current academic progress. Maybe we can consult the bachelor's degree tomorrow morning."
"Just call me Lanli, don't be so polite." Lanli said.
"You are the adopted son of your grandmother and the Duke of Dragon Stone Island. I can't be so rude." The other party replied, and then said with a joking voice: "Unless you want me to call you uncle?"
Lan Li smiled when she heard this, and the other party continued to speak.
"I need to learn etiquette with my mother some time before noon. I think you should be with me. In the afternoon, my father met with the lords from all over the river and the country who came to ask for instructions, and would also deal with some civilian affairs in our territory. During this period, I will always be by his side. If you are interested, you can also be with us, without any hesitation. My father has given this before."
The boy spoke softly, his eyes were quite soft, and he looked very hospitable. He was wearing a brown leather jacket that was very ordinary among the nobles. He looked like a knight attendant except for the golden rose embroidered on his chest.
According to Lan Li's knowledge at the banquet, he is indeed a knight apprentice and is currently learning the knight's way with the coach of the High Court.
"I will always practice riding and gun skills in the afternoon. I'm sorry you can't go with me, Lord Lanley, you're less than age. But you may be able to practice swords with my younger brother Garland. Of course, the premise is that your body can withstand a certain level of training. If you are interested in this, we can test it tomorrow."
Lan Li nodded after hearing this and said nothing. The other party continued to instruct some of Gao Gong's food, clothing, housing and transportation. With the words, the golden rose on his chest slowly bloomed in Lan Li's sight, like a book moving with the wind.
Finally, when they arrived at the door of the residence, the polite brown-haired boy bowed to the boy.
"I'm glad to meet you, Lord Renly, and welcome to the High Court."
Lan Li replied to Li, then watched the other party leave and touched his chin.
He felt that this Vilas was much more interesting than his father. He was already quite mature and steady at a young age, and his attitude was sincere and friendly, and he did not have the spoiled and arrogant temperament of the children of aristocrats at all.
"Just being too polite."
Thinking of it, he turned his eyes back to the room he was arranged.
This room is much bigger than his small room at King's Direction, but it does not lose the exquisiteness of the room. Looking around, the milky white marble floor reflects a hazy light under the light of the candlestick, and the ground is covered with a brand new green mile carpet, neat and square, without any dust.
The boy standing at the door looked to the left of his body, and the carved wooden door in the bathroom came into his eyes, which was no different from when he was in the Red Fort.
In addition, reading desk, bedside table, fireplace, bookcase, exquisite silver-plated round mirror, wardrobe, and even wine cabinet. When you glance at it, you will find all kinds of furniture in the room. The bed deep in the room is not too big, but it is enough to sleep with it. The surface of the bed is covered with silver silk, and a goose-wool mattress is placed under it. The light blue curtain covers the entire bed, which looks elegant and clean.
Everything you see is exquisite. The only pity is that the glass windows here are not as big as the balcony floor-to-ceiling windows of the Red Fort. Although they are not small, they look like an oval mirror. Because the glass is not pure, the moonlight penetrates outside and shines on the milky white surface, making it look hazy and dazed.
This room is located at the top of the white tower. Open the window and look out, you can see a vast field outside the huge castle. Now the silent starry sky is shrouded in the fields of roses on the field, shaking with the night wind.
It is said that the field east of the High Court is covered with golden roses like Tyrier's family heraldic emblems. The light is dim tonight, so it is not clear. However, Lanli is looking forward to what kind of beautiful scenery you will see when the sun slowly blooms out of the east.
In short, he was very satisfied with everything he has now, whether it is the people here or the environment here.
"If this thing doesn't exist, it would be even better."
Muttering, he sat on the soft bedside and raised his left hand.
At this time, he was wearing a black velvet glove on his left hand, which made his originally slightly petite hand look much longer. Now the joints of the gloves are constantly trembling. When he suddenly saw it, it seemed that his fingers were moving.
But in fact, that was not Lan Li moving.
After frowned, he took off the glove, and the change happened in vain.
Under the black glove, it was originally a thin white silk glove, but now after it was revealed, it seemed to have turned into a moving living creature. After squirming and breaking free from the boy's hand, the white glove flapped its "wings" like a bird, constantly flying around in the room, and seemed to look very panic.
Obviously, there was no eye for a glove, but after a moment of fluttering, the "bird" clearly found the exit in the room that was deliberately opened by the boy, so he rushed over quickly, and his back disappeared from sight not long after.
Lan Li then closed the open windows tightly, and the cold air was blocked from the outside.
Then he thought about it, turned around and dragged out a box under the bed, and opened it with the black iron key hanging on his neck.
This box was his "trash can". It was also brought by Lan Li when he set out from Junlin. When attending the banquet, it was delivered to the room by servants in advance.
However, now his behavior is not to check whether there are any missing items, but to observe one of them.
In this wooden box, there was a sealed glass bottle at this time. The slightly blurry glass looked insufficient in transparency, but it was also possible to see the existence of a gray-haired mouse.
A mouse with a stupid head and no movement except instinctive breathing.
However, it is not just a mouse...
After observing for a few glances, Lan Li took out the glass bottle, then sat on the ground regardless of his image, holding the bottle in both hands and began to shake it hard.
With a crackling sound, the hazy gray figure was shaken and bumped around, as if it was a mess. However, no matter how it shook, there was no scream inside. So when the shaking stopped, the mouse did not realize that it had become a petite white-haired little hen.
Seeing this, Lan Li opened the bottle mouth and stabbed it inward with a dagger. The little hen looked up at him and made a clatter, but there was no other reaction. Therefore, Lan Li clasped on the lid and began to sway again.
So the hen turns into a toad, the toad turns into an apple, and the apple turns into an octopus...
With the constant shaking, the creatures in the bottle are ever-changing, as if a ball of dough that can make people knead and change their shapes at will. The only thing that remains unchanged is its dull expression and some corresponding instincts.
Until the thing in the bottle turned into a floating gray energy ball, Lan Li stopped, then stared at the gray matter thoughtfully and slowly turned back into a mouse shape after swaying thoughtfully...
