138 Grapevine

This sudden rebellion has touched the hearts of countless people. Even Ren Li, who has never liked to pay attention to such things, couldn't help but consider whether the rule of his brother would be shaken by this.

Many lords who were hostile to Baratheon were even more secretly watching how the King Robert, who usurped the Iron Throne, dealt with this sudden rebellion.

The king's response was very simple. He did not hesitate, negotiate, or talk about those who were not. He directly summoned the lords and knights of the seven kingdoms to advance westward to participate in the war and beat him.

So the recent Westeros continent has been in turmoil.

...

"Are you not worried at all, Renly?"

In a courtyard somewhere in the high court, the brown-haired boy Vilas leaned against a white marble column and looked thoughtfully at the black-haired boy sitting on the railing reading a book next to him.

More than five months have made the heir of the High Court much more "rude" than at the beginning, but this also means that the relationship between the two is close.

"This is your brother's kingdom."

"I'm just a child." Lan Li replied without raising her head when she heard this: "I'm worried and there's nothing I can do, so I don't worry."

This sounds very childish, but when you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

After several months of contact, Vilas thought that the boy in front of him was actually quite precocious, and this also made some of his thoughts more active.

"If you could witness this war with your own eyes, I think you would be much more at ease, right?" He said tentatively: "It's very hard to stay in the castle and wait for news."

"well enough."

Lan Li replied: "A year ago, Robert was fighting outside. We were surrounded by Fengxi Castle for a whole year, which is much worse than now."

The brown-haired boy was a little speechless when he heard this. Then he thought about it and simply spoke bluntly: "Let the iron people continue to rampant like this, it will have a great impact on the future of Hewandi, so his father is preparing to respond to His Majesty Robert's call and is currently summoning his vassals to join the war."

As he said that, seeing the boy's eyes fade away from the book and look at him, Vilas then said sincerely: "I want to see this war with my own eyes. You know, Lanli, I will become a knight sooner or later, and the knight cannot escape the war."

"Then go and take the opportunity to increase your knowledge." Lan Li replied with a blink of an eye.

"My father didn't allow me to go, he said there would be many dangers." The brown-haired boy answered helplessly.

"There will be dangers in war."

Lan Li nodded in agreement: "We didn't eat anything when we were in Fengxi Castle, and many people almost starved to death."

"But I have analyzed that if the war goes well, then we will naturally not encounter danger. If it goes well, then the iron people can harass the western border and the river bend at will. Even the high court cannot be called safe."

"It seems that's the case." The black-haired boy replied blankly, and Veras rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"Lanli, don't pretend to be stupid, can't you express your opinion?"

After studying together for a long time, he learned a lot about the boy in front of him, but he didn't believe that this guy was really as simple and childish as he seemed.

"What do you think? Don't you just want me to join you instigate your father?"

Lan Li had already seen through the other party's purpose, so she said bluntly: "I tell you, that's impossible. You are the next heir of Gaoting, and I am the guest of the royal family. If something happens, it will be a considerable loss for Gaoting. If something happens, I will make an accident. How do you say your father should explain to my brother?"

The sudden change of tone was quite uncomfortable, but Vilas was excited about it.

"Don't you want to see the ocean and the war? There are also the Iron Islands, and I heard that the customs there are very unique."

"I've seen it for a long time. It's just that two groups of people are fighting each other, but the battlefield is replaced by the sea."

Lan Li casually said, "What about the Iron Islands? There is nothing to see, a place where birds don't shit."

Vilas thought he was bragging, or he didn't want to pay attention to his own fault at all, so he sighed, "Are you not tired of staying in the castle? The outside world is very exciting, and there are many things we don't know."

He is smart and mature, but he is not interested in most things, and does not like to abide by the rules, making him look a little lazy.

This is Vilas's perception of Renly.

But he likes some novel things, such as magic, or mysterious legends like the Son of the Forest, and his curiosity is very serious...

Unfortunately, Vilas didn't know that he had a strange left hand, and there were enough surprises and novelties in life for Renly, so he lacked interest in this.

"What the Duke said makes sense. War is very dangerous, and wars at sea cannot be determined by the number of people."

The boy drooped his eyelids and said, "So I still like to stay in the castle honestly, which is the safest. And didn't you say you would go out to hunt a while ago? Holding dogs and putting eagles, I'm quite looking forward to this."

The adventure of the dungeon world is enough to smooth out Ren Li's desire for adventure. In reality, he just wants to live a quiet life, but he doesn't want the dungeon to live a life of ups and downs inside and outside the dungeon to worry about his own safety all day long. That's simply too bad.

And he is still too young now.

However, things that were not interested in Lanley were attractive to many young nobles who had not encountered setbacks since childhood, so the brown-haired boy did not give up.

"We actually don't need to go to the front line, just be in the rear. Together with my father and Earl Redwin, we will not be in any danger unless the situation is one-sided."

Lan Li was indifferent when she heard this.

"My plan is to join hands with some friends of the same age to find my father's suggestion, not just you and me, but the possibility of success is quite high."

Renley shrugged.

"Are you so timid? Renly, I don't think you are such a person." Veras used a provocation technique.

"I was just a kid, so of course I can't be brave."

Lan Li said, lifting the book in her hand and making a statement of concentration.

But the other party still did not give up, but slowly expressed the many "baits" he had prepared in advance.

"They all say there is a sea dragon's remains on the Iron Islands. Sea dragon, it sounds very interesting. Don't you want to meet them?"

...

"Those followers who claim to be the Son of the God of Desolation all appeared suddenly. No one had seen them before, Renli, aren't you curious?"

...

"I heard that a sea monster appeared on the Iron Islands a while ago, just like the Greyjoy's emblem..."

"The gossip is unbelievable." Lan Li finally couldn't help but reply.

"The sailors always say that they have seen mermaids, ice dragons, and even the God of Storm. I don't know if they have actually seen them or when they are drunk and they have seen them while they are sleeping."

"The mermaid doesn't understand." The brown-haired boy shook his head: "A sea ghost appeared a while ago, and there is a name."

"Oh, what's the name?" Lan Li was surprised when she heard this.

It would be fine to listen to the news of simple ghosts and other things. There are many superstitious rumors in feudal society, but a ghost with a name seems to be credible. He has never forgotten that this world actually has supernatural powers. Although it is rare, it is not without it.

"It seems to be called Jaspi."

The brown-haired boy replied: "There are many sailors on the west coast who claim to have caught it. It is said that when the sea ghost meets anyone, he will ask how Baiou Village will go. After asking, he disappears. He doesn't know where Baiou Village he mentioned."

Jaspi Baiou Village?
