160 Cut off my head (9/9)(Remastered)
Just as he hadn't considered that he would turn to this issue, Lan Li hadn't considered that the mark on his wrist would suddenly appear.
In other words, in the past six months since he obtained this mark, although he has encountered many troubles and troubles, he has never found that the mark will suddenly...heat?
This situation surprised him a lot, but at this time the boy leaning against the board clearly saw a middle-aged man with long black and gray hair pointing at the port area where the people were surging. The target seemed to be the ship, but after careful observation, it was clearly him.
So Lan Li's expression changed, and then, under the shock of many iron people behind him, he climbed up the ship wall without hesitation, and then jumped into the deep sea water in front of the port.
The thud sound was accompanied by a splash of water. The gray-haired old iron-min who talked the most to Lan Li along the way lay on the boat and watched down, but only saw a hazy figure quickly diving into the deep water area and disappearing.
"What the hell is this guy?" He cursed in surprise.
"Are you so excited?"
Someone behind him smiled, "That boy encountered the storm, it was not easy for him to come back alive."
Pike Island is a very important island in the Iron Islands. The Greyjoy family, who ruled the Iron Islands, lived in Pike City on the island for generations, so Pike Island is vaguely regarded by many people as a symbol and symbol of the Iron Islands and a proof of their return home.
The sailing period was not long, but it also allowed the iron people to understand that the little guy rescued from the middle was a very interesting and sensible child. He was quiet and honest, so although the identity of the attendant made the iron people criticized him, most of the people on the boat still had some kindness towards the little guy.
However, they no longer had this kind of teasing intention, because the crew members found that a group of soldiers suddenly rushed over from the port, and they were all staring at them and others.
"Are you from the Tauni family?" When the ship was completely harboring the ladder, one of the soldiers ran up and asked seriously.
"That's right, we just returned from the battlefield." The old Tiemin hurriedly answered when he heard this.
"Why come back?"
"We had a storm before, and we fought with the fleet in Hewan several times, and many people were injured."
"Where is that boy just now? Who is he?"
"We rescued him from the sea halfway. He was the servant of Heras Harlow." Lao Tiemin replied, and then asked carefully.
"Sir, what's wrong with him?"
"King Baron wants to see him."
The Iron Min Soldier replied: "I know where he went?"
"I'll run down the water and it'll probably jump out in a while." Lao Tiemin replied, "A naughty boy, hehe, he's not very honest, don't blame the leader."
The soldier nodded after hearing this, returned to the boat and started waiting quietly with other companions.
However, they waited for a while and did not see the child rushing out from under the sea in front of the port, nor did they find him appearing from other places. At first they could still remain calm, but in the end they could not help but look at each other, quite surprised.
Finally, when someone came to urge him at the port, they did not see a child showing up on the sea behind the ship, so the soldiers who were asking questions had to go back to report the news.
Soon after, all the soldiers in the port received an order—
Pay attention to a little boy with black hair and blue eyes. Once discovered, report it immediately.
But don't act without permission.
...
"Why did my father suddenly order to pursue a little boy?"
After the last ray of light at dusk faded away, the port environment of Parker Island was slightly deserted. In a stone-cast hall, a middle-aged man with long gray and black hair on a chair waved his subordinate and the tall and thin boy standing beside him asked, "Is his identity not simple?"
"I'm not sure." The middle-aged man with clear facial features and thin cheeks had a pair of sharp black eyes as sharp as a knife. He didn't show any gentleness when he looked at his eldest son.
"But maybe he's very important."
"Why do you say that?" The young man was stunned when he heard this: "As far as I understand, that boy is just a servant of a knight in his mother's family. What's the point?"
"Sergeant?"
The middle-aged man smiled faintly when he heard this: "Heras Hallo's servant is indeed a small child, but as far as I know, the child is a boy with brown hair and black eyes, not black hair."
"He is a spy?" The young man understood when he heard this. However, the middle-aged man shook his head at it.
"Will you use a little boy as a spy?"
"Then he..."
Without responding immediately, the middle-aged man sitting in the first place glanced at the empty rock hall with his sharp eyes, and then suddenly said, "Do you know how I won so many finger dances?"
The boy was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "You said before that it was the blessing of God, so that you can win repeatedly. Could it be that there is any secret in this?"
"There is indeed a secret." said the middle-aged man: "The secret is to protect God."
"This--" The boy opened his mouth in surprise, feeling as if he had heard a nonsense, but the serious expression of his father in front of him did not look like he was joking...
Not long after his father took up the position of Shizhi in Shanghai, he originally wanted to call on all the Iron Islands to launch a war, but this matter was done for him. Outsiders may be very strange about this, but in fact, there is nothing complicated about this process-
Bet won.
Since ancient times, there has been a special "game" similar to a knight duel. The rule of this game is that two people throw sharp short-handled axes at each other. The thrower must catch or avoid the axes flying in the spiral, but they must not move half a step.
This game is called finger dance by iron people, because the game usually ends after a participant throws at least one finger.
Finger dance is very popular among iron people, and is even a cultural custom. According to legend, ancient iron people even used finger dance to win the position of the King of the Iron Islands.
No one knows whether it is true or not, but this is enough to prove the status of finger dance in the hearts of the iron people.
Every excellent iron species is good at finger dance, and all iron people agree with the duel game similar to a duel, and Baron Greyjoy used this game to "persuade" all opponents, and finally launched the war.
Of course, the specific situation is not simple. A simple finger dance will not have this effect, but Baron won ten games!
Within a day, ten continuous finger dances, and under the witness of all the lords of the Iron Islands and the Flooded Priests, Baron Greyjoy bets that he would win until the last one.
His opponents are veterans who are proficient in this art among the opponents of each island!
This process should be very difficult. Even if you are proficient in finger dance, you will inevitably be exhausted if you participate in ten consecutive games with concentration. After all, fingers are not anything that can be abandoned, and each game requires full attention.
However, this seemingly impossible challenge was accomplished by the newly promoted King of the Iron Islands. Therefore, the archipelago lords who were willing to accept the bet had no objection to his proposal to start a war, and their support for the newly promoted king also rose to a higher level.
After that unforgettable finger dance meeting, the boy's admiration for his father increased day by day. Originally, he thought his father could be so brave because he did have powerful skills and reactions beyond ordinary people's understanding, but at this moment, it seemed that it was not the case yet?
"I am proficient in finger dancing, and others are also proficient in it. If it weren't for the blessing of the God of Desolation, I would never have been able to keep my hands, and I would not have been able to win that battle."
Seeing his son looking confused, King Baron, who was sitting on the chair, said seriously: "You may think my words are perfunctory, but in fact they are the truth. I can win because of the blessing of God!"
"But Father, drown God, drown God-"
"You want to say that you have never seen God of Dang show a miracle?"
"No one has seen it before." The boy replied in a low voice.
"I have seen it." Baron said solemnly: "And now, His power is in my body. It is this power that blesses me and it is this power that inspires me. The great God of Flooding is urging us to restore the ancient road in his palace of flowing water. So as long as I work hard for this goal, His blessing will always exist!"
These mysterious words made the black-haired boy even more confused. He stood there blankly and didn't know how to respond. In response, King Baron did not force him, but patted his son's shoulder and narrowed his eyes.
When did the gaze of God be attracted?
He thought of the captain who violated his orders and went to sea without authorization before the war broke out.
Baron admired the ancient road very much and believed that only the ancient road was the foundation of the survival of the Iron Islands. Therefore, after taking the position of Shanghai Stone, the goal he set for himself was to restore the ancient road and liberate the Iron Islands from the rules and constraints of the unified kingdom.
But his initial prediction was to first unite the major forces on the island, and to unite them together while accumulating strength, and finally start a war.
However, after chopping the captain who violated his orders, he suddenly changed his mind.
He could clearly feel the existence of the will of God, and he could also feel that God was constantly urging him to open the ancient road. He could also feel that every time he thought about how to restore the ancient road, and every time he worked hard for it, a kind of power would grow out of his heart, making his condition better and better.
So he was able to quickly integrate the split situation in the Iron Islands, so he was able to successfully reach a cooperation agreement with the drowning people who suddenly emerged on the island, and the war broke out like this.
God of drowning is protecting himself, and Baron is convinced of this, which makes him feel excited and confident than any motivation.
So this war...
"What does this have to do with that boy?"
The son's words interrupted Baron's contemplation. After thinking for a while, he said, "A few days ago, Iron ran back and claimed that there was a boy who could call for a fish and turn into a fish. He said that it was the son of God of Desperation."
"Uncle Yilun's nonsense?" The young man said disapprovingly when he heard this: "It's just him who still believe in this, right?"
"No." Baron stared at his son's face: "I believe it too."
"This--" the young man was stunned again when he heard this.
"I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it." Baron said some fanatical words in a calm speech.
"I felt him, I had looked at him, and I was sure that the boy was the second gift God gave us, or that he brought the blessing of God! You must believe that Rodlick, God is watching us, and the ancient road will be revived!"
The black-haired boy named Rodlick nodded blankly when he heard this, feeling that he was becoming increasingly unable to understand his great father, and this feeling reached its peak after the other party's next sentence.
