16 Songs sung by the drowned (10)

The chaos lasted all night.

At first, this chaos was just the killing and fighting for the spoils of the iron people.

But in the second half of the night, an honest hunting dog that was originally locked in a cage suddenly rushed out and went crazy like a whole castle barking and running around, making the situation here even more crazy.

However, the overall situation will not change as a result.

So when the sun rose from the far end of the ocean the next day, the castle called Longbing Castle had completely changed its owner.

The white nettle whip flag marked on the castle tower marked the original owner's family was torn off at will and allowed to trample on it. The armory in the city has also been moved out. The villagers who had been a group of mining slave workers have put on armor and weapons that only soldiers or even noble lords can use, which makes them look like they are.

However, the survivors in the castle who have experienced tragedy will never forget what kind of people they are.

During the cleaning of the next day, dozens of dead bodies were transported from all over the castle and threw them into the moat outside the city wall. They disappeared from people's sight with a thud, silent, as if they had never existed.

The family of the former owner of the castle, the Tauni family, were tightly detained in a high tower at this time, led by chef Ryan - of course he should be called Captain Ryan now.

Another veteran who followed, the old drunkard, also transformed into one of the captains of the city wall. He was more agile than Ryan and had become a group of his new partners in a short time.

Lanli was waiting for the Hang people to assign him ships and men to return to Old Wake Island to seek help.

During this period, he met the young woman he had helped in the castle, but the other party just hugged his child tightly and showed hatred for the fully armed young soldier.

He also saw the younger mother he was spared while hunting at the entrance of the village, but unfortunately he saw it from the tip of the gun in the city wall. She was no longer complete and miserably got so miserably that she had only her head left.

"She is a traitor and wants to inform him, so Gold slaughtered her. Her baby is lucky and doesn't remember anything, otherwise she will kill her together." The old drunkard explained as he stopped to observe.

"She is really stupid." Lan Li nodded and then turned and left.

Looking at his back, the old drunkard raised his hand and touched the stubble on his chin, his eyes full of suspicion.

After the battle, there were rumors in the castle that Hal killed his own person with his own hands and pushed the relative of the victim who came to him to argue with him down the well.

So someone went to sue Pastor Yanren, but the matter was secretly suppressed by the pastor.

...

The waiting time was not long. In the afternoon of the same day, Pastor Fenren arranged a small clutch and the six sailors to accompany him.

The food supply had been prepared long ago, and there was nothing to hesitate. Lanli immediately headed to the coastline not far from the castle.

"Don't be afraid of the wrath of the God of Storm, God will protect you." The man who came to send him in person said: "You must come back as soon as possible, we can't stay here for long."

"I promise to be as fast as possible."

Lanli nodded seriously.

Time is the ninth day when it comes here.

And he had completed two of those three things.

The goal of arriving at Oak Island was first completed, thanks to a former miner who inexplicably rushed out to attack him last night, and the mission of killing seven iron men was also concluded.

If someone looks at his left hand, he will find that at the empty middle finger, he is wearing a rusty bronze ring. The ring is dark and dark in color, with a faint bulge of ghost eyes.

【The Dead's Gaze: This is a ring formed by the thoughts of the dead before death. Using it, you can arouse the deepest fear in the target's heart (6/7)]

Originally, this ring could be used seven times, but when Renli first obtained it, he used it once. This was necessary, and he didn't feel distressed, but instead had a new idea.

...

Today the sea breeze was smooth, and as the sails expanded, the boat began to sail towards the west of Oak Island. The boy stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the coast and the drowning tall figure became smaller and smaller. Until he could not see clearly at all, he then withdrew his gaze.

The ship is very small and has only one floor. When you scan it, everyone can see it at a glance.

The six sailors on the boat were talking excitedly at this time, but facing the teenager's gaze, they lowered their voices timidly.

The Iron Islands pursued the slave labor system, and the prisoners snatched from outside formed the slave class of the Iron Islands. Although slave labor is different from slaves that can be bought and sold, it is inferior and has no freedom.

These are the slave-working class in front of us.

However, the sea is vast and monotonous. As the sailing continues, they gradually become familiar with Renli.

"Can King Rhodes really attract fish and sea monsters?" asked a young slave worker with short chestnut hair curiously.

"I heard that's the case." Lying on the bow of the boat, stroking the bronze ring on the little finger of his left hand, Lan Li replied absent-mindedly: "I'm going to go and verify."

"If I dedicate myself to the great God of Fighting, can I really gain freedom?" an old slave worker paddler asked with hope.

"As long as you can survive the flooding ceremony, you can clear your slave labor status and even become a flooded pastor." said the brown-haired boy: "Your children will become free people from now on."

Lanli was not a native iron man, but he gradually learned many of their customs during the shipwreck. He even understood that Lucas, a drowning man, was once a slave laborer.

"How many salt concubines did you snatch from the Long Whip Castle?" Another young paddler asked curiously: "Do you have long legs? She is very beautiful. I hope you snatched him. Sanna is also very beautiful... Maybe you snatched her together?"

The Iron Islands have unique customs, unlike the Westeros. They do not pursue monogamy. They can plunder women outside and then force them to marry as concubines.

This is what is called the so-called Iwa Wife and the Salt Concubine.

In the archipelago, each iron species can grab several or even dozens of salt concubines outside, but only one wife is allowed, and the wife's identity must be a native of the archipelago.

"No, not one." Lan Li shrugged, "Because I'm not sure, according to the rules, can I steal the Iron Seed as my own salt concubine."

This was just an excuse for Renley, but the paddlers were also full of arguments about it.

"It seems to be inconsistent with the rules."

"The rules also say that the iron races cannot beat their own people, and now no one cares about it."

"Those who are not their own people, Lord Lucas said they are a group of traitors..."

...

Dale, who is red-haired, curious about everything, the taciturn Robert, the yellow teeth, the thin old rumbling body, and the blind Wells...

The sailors on the boat all looked very good, just like the cooks, drunkards, and flooded people.

They also worked hard to paddle, and under the gaze of bald supervisor Eng, they rarely saw laziness.

When they were with them, Lan Li couldn't help but think of the young man in the same village who had been with him when he first set sail, the pebbles that he was unfortunately lost to the sea, and the tone of the tone when he talked about the king and the god of drowning.

What would he be like if he arrived at Oak Island alive?

Lanley is curious, but this question will never have an answer.

The journey back did not encounter any big winds and waves, and the wind direction was basically smooth. When we arrived, the group took eight days, but the return did not take that long, or it was much faster.

The sun rises and the sun sets, and the sails rise at the boat sometimes, and the oars and shouts sometimes.

Two days later, a hazy coastline was shaking and visible, and the journey reached its end.

...

The beaches of Old Wake Island are still densely populated, with some figures wearing leather armor passing back and forth, and there are many fishermen with trousers rolled up to their knees in the shallows, but the first thing to discover the boat was the scout boats drifting on the sea.

The boat was intercepted by a scout ship. After Lan Li explained the situation, he bid farewell to a group of slave workers and was taken to the brig.

"Your Majesty is presiding the ceremony."

The bearded captain of the scout boat explained so much, saying with envy: "The boys who went to be flooded today are so lucky. I bet that they will become famous iron seeds soon."

"There must be many people watching, right?" Lanli asked.

"Of course, His Majesty the King rarely does it himself."

Lanli said oh, looking at the beach coastline that slowly retreated as the ship moved forward.

It seemed like he was leaving. At first glance, the endless coarse cloth tents were densely packed, the rising bonfires dissipated with the wind, the yelling vendors, the running and playing children, and the towering hills with bones growing in the distance, the long queue waiting for flooding.

Everything seems full of vitality, harmony and tranquility.

He finally saw the king of "his own" in the shallows under the hill.

It was a young man with a naked upper body and strong facial features. At this time, he was standing in the water at his waist, holding a flooding ceremony for a blonde boy with his own hands.

Unfortunately, despite his high and powerful prayers and his kisses were full of sacredness, the flooded person who was constantly spasming did not wake up in the end, but turned into a cold corpse.

"The father needs him, more than we do." The King of the Hangman stood up without seeing any strange colors and declared, "He will become an excellent sailor in the palace of his father's Liushui!"

The drowned group of people around him cheered loudly when they heard this, and their voices were as if they had seen something happy.

"It is the supreme glory that was sent by the holy Son of God to the Liushui Palace of the Great God!" The bearded captain also sighed and sighed.

Lan Li narrowed her eyes when she heard this, stared at the young king who had begun the ceremony again, and secretly determined his own ideas.

So when the priest king drowned the fourth person and finally had time to meet him, the messenger who returned from Oak Island, Renli stepped forward and declared loudly.

"Your Majesty, I have brought a letter from Lord Lucas, and another very important news!"
