183 Plans and Accidents
Lan Li believed that a storm was inevitable because all the outside phenomena were exactly the same as his previous experiences, and the remaining curse in his body silently revealed.
However, just as they were preparing to wait silently, no storm was born that day. And the next day, when the dawn shone brightly, they saw that the dark clouds covering the sky had quietly dissipated.
"Why is this happening?"
Standing in front of the window and staring at everything, Lan Li was a little puzzled by this.
If you look at the various things yesterday, it seems that there is no special situation except a crow flying by, so the storm that should have happened was the crow...?
In general, this is a good thing. He was still happy to see it, and it seemed that the curse on his body had a "cooldown time". There was no sign of an attack again in the next period of time until they were safely sent by the Captain of the Rage Hammer to land.
The destination of the Rage Hammer was still farther under the sea border, but that did not mean that Lanli and the others also needed to follow him. So after waving goodbye to the brig ship that was gradually moving away, Lanli took a bag of golden dragons given to him by Baron Greyjoy, and a thin and tall "man" who was like a bamboo pole and walked on the road back to the high court.
"The first route was to cross the Haigang City, which was still fighting, and then follow the path along the coastal edge to Lannister Port, and finally follow the coastal avenue there to the High Court."
The bald boy wearing ordinary inconspicuous gray cotton coat and linen pants said to the bamboo pole beside him: "You can ride a horse, right?"
“Is riding a horse harder than riding a dragon?”
The other party asked back a little chuckled and asked Lan Li to touch his forehead, but he heard that the other party was just a joke. In fact, after his expression was relaxed, he understood that this person actually could ride a horse, so he nodded and continued to remind him: "If we meet someone, we are a father and son who escaped from Haijiang City. Although this matter is not very important, don't reveal it."
"Reassured, the faceless person is much harder than you think." Reness said, glanced at the boy: "I can be anyone if necessary."
This person is indeed not the guy who once looked mature but actually didn't know anything.
Lan Li nodded, then rushed to the road honestly.
The landing time was on a clear afternoon, and the location was a beach covered with deserted stones. They gradually walked deep into the land. They passed by a low pine forest and finally fell into an abandoned village when the sky was dim.
"It is said that whenever the iron people invade, the Haijiang City will ring a huge bronze bell and call on the people around to enter the castle to take refuge."
In the house made of mud, the two of them had already raised a bunch of bonfires for heating. The dim light shook the hazy shadows of two shadows, one big and one small, and the blue smoke floating out of the firewood also made the air in this farmhouse quite pungent.
"I think everyone who comes here has taken refuge."
The boy looked at the other person while saying that, and found that the expression was much more serious than before, and he couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?"
“It’s too close to the battlefield.”
When there was no outsider, Rennes would speak in her original voice, so Renly felt very awkward.
"Indeed, but I don't think that in this situation, the iron people will still have the intention to send people to sweep the surrounding villages. It is the end of the war, so there is not much time left for them."
He said, and when he saw that the expression on the other person's face still did not calm down, he couldn't help but make a joke.
"Besides, with you, the great magician, we should be afraid of those stupid mortals?"
This made Reness glance at him.
"Magic is not something that can be used casually. It requires preparation time and a certain price."
As she said that, she frowned unconsciously: "The magic is harder to use here than before, and many of them can no longer be used."
Lan Li had no say in this, so she just shrugged.
"Anyway, I don't think there will be any surprises for us to hide here. Not to mention the situation of the war, the iron people don't have the time to sweep away such a village that seems to have been swept away."
This is not enough, but it also shows confidence.
Unfortunately, accidents always happen suddenly and are not born according to common sense.
The two men who had turned off the fire that night hid in the fur cloak prepared in advance to rest. As a result, relying on their sensitive hearing, Lanli suddenly heard an abnormal sound of horse hooves approaching quickly. This made him, who was half asleep and half awake, immediately woke up and stood up to look. Reness, who was not far away, was also awakened and was looking at him.
After looking at each other, the two walked quietly to the window of the house and looked out. Then they saw a group of three knights running by the road in the middle of the village in the moonlight, which looked obviously running away.
This made Lan Li secretly feel a little bad.
But they did not act rashly, but stayed quietly in this inconspicuous mud room and carefully observed the outside world.
Not long after, the look of the pursuer came into view—
It was a group of iron men, riding horses, but they obviously seemed not as skilled as the three before. However, their speed was not slow, and it took dozens of seconds from entering the line of sight to disappearing from a distance.
The whole process of chasing and escaping seemed to be only one or two minutes. The two people who were awakened were already sleepless at this time, but it seemed that they were still safe.
"Nothing will happen?"
Rennis' rhetoric made Renly a little embarrassed.
"Isn't this just nothing unexpected? If you sleep deeply, you won't even notice that this happened."
The other party did not respond, but turned around and started packing his bags. Seeing this, Lan Li became busy.
It is obviously an important person to be chased by iron people, but this has nothing to do with them.
But no matter whether the iron-minded people can catch up with their target, it is very likely that they will pass here when they return. Then there will be a risk of exposure for the two people to stay here, so they must be transferred as soon as possible.
This did not need to be said explicitly, and they could naturally think of it. But seeing the person beside him so skillful and some conversations on the way, Lan Li felt sad.
He could never meet the one beside him with the one Renith in his memory, the one he used to be cunning, lively and active, but the one in front of him was very bored.
Time can change everything.
He thought to himself, then shook his head, ignored the melancholy that suddenly arose in his heart, and quickly finished packing the cloak, fire, oil cloth, dagger, and then followed her decisively out of the room and then left the village.
Although they were different from the expected route, they carefully avoided the direction of the group of people and rushed under the hazy moonlight. However, it seemed that their luck began to worsen after they got on the shore. Before they could rush, a knight on the way, instantly changed their faces.
One of the three runaway people!
The other party also obviously discovered the existence of the two, so he roared.
"Run, there are monsters!"
He said nothing, the two of them had turned around and ran towards a bush behind them, but this sounded a little strange.
This thought arises in his mind, and then Lan Li heard a strange wolf howl behind him. He couldn't help but turn his head to look, and then he saw a human wolf.
