136 Ritual and God

"The hand posture should be relaxed, natural, and not stiff like a piece of wood. Yes, relax, that's it."

"You should not raise your head too much, and cross your legs is absolutely forbidden. Your eyes... Don't always stare at other people's eyes, as this will make people nervous. It is the most appropriate to do this when you express your opinions or when you listen."

"The most important thing is to keep your clothes neat at any time, and you must not sit on wooden railings or dirty places casually! The servant can wash your clothes, but you can only pay attention to your image!"

...

The rigorous female voice sounded from a bright and spacious room, and the black-haired boy honestly corrected his sitting position according to the words of the silver-haired woman opposite. His focused look was simply impossible to learn better.

Just over two months of contact allowed the Duchess to understand the lazy personality of this person - every time he studied etiquette and performed perfectly, but in fact, when he really left the course, he seemed casually as if he had never learned those things at all, which made people feel helpless when he saw it.

Of course, because this person is less than seven years old, this situation is actually very normal, or the boy has performed well enough, but Mrs. Ellery feels that this husband's adopted brother can do better, but she doesn't focus on it.

"I understand your feelings, Lanli, it is very tiring to maintain etiquette and sit posture at any time, but as long as you get used to them and turn them into your own habits, everything will be natural. You should work hard to do this, and I believe you can do this easier."

Except for the serious female voice, there was no other sound in the spacious room. The autumn wind outside the window was blowing with yellow leaves, and made trivial sounds on the nearby hanging paintings.

In the Mill-style portrait, there is a man and a woman standing, the man is dressed in a dress, the Duke of River Bay, Mess Tyriel, and the woman is naturally the duchess in front of her. She wears silver hair and short skirt, and the lifelike portrait is hung on a large light green feather bed, with casual and natural decorations around it.

It is obvious that this is the residence of the Duke and the Duchess.

In the past, the Renli Society and the heir of the High Court, Veras, and his younger brother came here to learn aristocratic etiquette. At this time, he was "small internship" alone, and he was the only one left.

...

The teaching lasted for a long time, and it was not until the sky was getting dark outside and a young nurse with big breasts rushed over with a crying baby girl, and she was forced to stop.

"Madam, please think of a solution. Miss Margaret has been crying all the time. No matter how I coax it, I can't coax it well!"

The anxious voice of the nurse was accompanied by the sharp cry of the baby girl, which made the Duchess, who had been serious before, run over with a nervous look on her face. Lan Li also leaned closer to her and raised her foot curiously and looked at the pink baby in the cradle. The first thing she saw was that she was a little ugly.

"I'm not too small." Muttered secretly, Renli bowed to the Duchess appropriately and then walked out of the room and met another existence that was also closely related to "him" in his memory.

The beautiful boy with big eyes with thick brown hair was led by a servant to stand outside the door. When he saw the black-haired boy stepping out, he greeted him in a silence.

"Brother Nanli."

"Call uncle," Lanli said correctly.

"elder brother?"

The child asked blankly, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the word uncle.

Lan Li rubbed his forehead when she heard this, which made the other party giggle. As a result, the duchess, who was worried about his daughter crying in the room, heard it, and then glanced at him.

The child was so scared that he closed his mouth tightly. The black-haired boy no longer had the intention to tease the little gay man. After coughing dryly, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Many servants in the corridor greeted him respectfully when they saw him, and occasionally saw the branches of the Tyrier family, and were also quite polite to him.

Lan Li replied to this one after another.

...

Life in the high court was simple and fulfilling. After getting up in the morning and having breakfast, I went to the Bachelor's Tower to learn language and history. Then I rushed to the Duchess with my two partners to learn aristocratic etiquette. In this way, the task in the morning was basically completed.

In the afternoon, Renley would occasionally go to the government hall at the front of the castle to listen to Duke Metz deal with government affairs related to the knights under his command, and practice his minstrel profession more often.

He would attend the dinner at night, and when he didn't, he would hide in the room to read books. The gloves worked very well. The occasional accidents in his left hand could basically keep him treated normally, and more often he would be at peace.

His sixth naming day came quietly last month without telling anyone, but the people of the Tyriel family seemed to have known for a long time that the silver-haired Duke's wife personally organized a celebration dinner, which seemed grand and enthusiastic.

Master Krisson of Wind Sniff Castle also wrote him a letter after the naming day, congratulating Lan Li on his year old age and asking about his academic questions. The old man is now assisting Wind Sniff Castle in managing the Stormland affairs, while Stannis, the Duke of Stormland, has been in the king's landslide and has not returned.

There are also raven letters from Ravens in the territory of Lanli and Longshi Island to report the basic situation. A bachelor named Kans wrote it himself. Kans is a newly assigned bachelor from the school city after Lanli was awarded the title. He has never seen anyone else or heard of this name, but the letter he wrote seems concise and sharp and decisive.

In short, there is basically nothing to worry about in everything outside the world. Now he only needs to concentrate on staying in the first castle of the high court, the river bay, and grow up and study, or do experiments.

This is very consistent with Renly's expectations.

There are no twists and turns in life in the castle, but he always can't sleep well every now and then because he always feels that someone is sleeping next to him, but he wakes up a few times and finds no trace of anyone. After a while, Lan Li feels that he has encountered some haunted incident again...

He has not made much progress in the left-hand experiment, because he is still worried that the secondary release will affect himself, so he has always hoped that there will be situations like the last time the grass appeared, but it did not.

This may be because wearing gloves restricts the energy use, or it may be that the mark has been emitted by replacement energy, rather than alteration, in short, there has been no progress in the relevant experiments.

After more than two months of study, his etiquette has improved from the original LV1 to the LV2. His long-term history learning did not allow him to acquire any historical skills. Instead, one day, a legendary and anecdote LV1 was quietly released.

Language is a big project, and there is no movement for a while. Putting aside his bright academic performance, the magic he was learning at this time also made him confused.

In the Westeros continent, there is not much information about magic. Even if the High Court's library was not very large, he would probably not be able to find even a related book.

However, even if there are professional books, he still seems confused because it contains various professional terms and piles of paragraphs with difficult meanings.

Looking at it, the only thing he could be sure of is that in this world, there is no supernatural energy such as magical elements, and the wizards set up rituals to cast spells, which is not related to some kind of power in nature.

But God.

The King of Light, Rahlo, the Three Gods, the Black Goat, Seymoses and Ciceso, the Lord of the Sky, the Lady of the Wave, the Stone Cow of Faros...
