182 Thousand Faces and Magic
As the captain of the Rage Hammer, Burrel did not know what the father and son were on the boat were. Due to King Baron's previous instructions, he did not dare to ask more.
However, the captain felt that the father and son were very strange. They kept it in the cabin all day and couldn't come out. The boy shaved his head the next day after he got on the boat. The boy's father didn't look like someone who could give birth to such a beautiful child.
Judging from all the signs, Burrell speculated that the father and son, or the boy, might have something to do with the famous one in the archipelago recently. This guess made him feel a little nervous, but he thought it would be better to pretend that he didn't know anything, so as not to cause trouble.
However, in fact, the mission of the Rage Hammer is not just to send the father and son to Hejiandi. The main task of this ship is actually to go to the sea area near Hejiandi.
It was the second battlefield between the Iron Islands and the Greenland, and was led by King Baron's younger brother Euron. However, when the news of the defeat in Fairy Island came back, King Baron ordered the withdrawal of his troops, but the Euron, who was quite famous in the archipelago, refused to return and claimed that the Haijiang City was about to be captured.
King Baron was quite angry about this, so he sent the Akihammer to the Haigang City to urge him. Burrell did not know whether he could complete this task. Even as a native of Pike Island, he was actually a little afraid of the second son of the Greyjoy family, Euron.
"I hope everything goes well."
He murmured in a low voice, and noticed something was wrong with the sea breeze around the deck, Burrell couldn't help but look up at the sky, and his gradually gloomy appearance made him frown.
"The weather at sea changes at any time, it's really unpredictable."
The first mate beside him sighed: "The sun is still bright this morning."
"The sea has never been like this." Burrell replied after hearing this: "Maybe the God of Storm is about to target us."
"It seems almost interesting." The first mate said dismissively: "Our iron fleet was stormed a while ago. I don't believe that our ship will encounter it again in unlucky ways. And look, there is a great man on our ship. Don't even think about how the God of Storm does to us."
"I don't know which amazing person it is." Captain Burrel glanced at his rough-minded first mate when he heard this: "Tell me, who is amazing?"
His eyes seemed to have a deterrence and a warning, which made the first mate close his mouth in disappointment, but then he muttered again: "I don't believe we will encounter a storm anyway."
...
The captain and others were talking about the weather. Lan Li also looked at the gloomy climate outside through the narrow windows of the cabin and frowned.
"If the storm comes outside, don't forget to hug me." He reminded the people around him.
"Like it used to be?"
What the "man" said made Lan Li feel a little awkward, and then he found that the expression seemed to be full of solemnity.
"What have you felt?"
"Magic? God?" Renis, who was still in his male disguise, looked down at him.
"You're targeted?"
"I don't know." Lan Li frowned and replied, "But I always encounter storms in the sea."
"In ancient times, the Durandon family had some connection with the God of Storm, and Baratheon inherited the bloodline of the Durandon family." Reneth said, recalling some of the things he had learned recently, and couldn't help but speak: "If Oris Baratheon knew that his descendants would usurp the throne of our family, they would probably jump out of the grave in anger."
Oris Baratheon is the ancestor of the Baratheon family and the closest right-hand man of the Conqueror Aegon. There are even rumors that Oris is the illegitimate brother of the Conqueror Aegon, who worked diligently throughout his life to serve the conqueror, and was a very loyal person.
“Time changes everything.”
Lan Li replied: "Even the dragon is extinct, let alone loyalty?"
"Is that..." Renith murmured, then changed the subject: "I don't know why that situation outside is, but maybe I should teach you some magic knowledge before the ship sinks."
"It's also theological knowledge?" Lanli asked tentatively.
"Yes."
Renes nodded: "Except for the Valyrian magic that is no longer available, all the magic that is currently circulating is related to the gods."
"The kind that needs to be worshipped?"
"Only by sincere service can we communicate with the gods, and then show the power that mortals cannot control."
Lan Li's interest was greatly reduced when she heard this: "Then let it go, I have no intention of believing in God."
This made Reness look at him strangely.
"Don't you believe in the Seven Gods? How did you become the one-" She reacted before she finished speaking, and then she laughed at the boy's newly shaved head.
"They thought you were the Son of God of God..."
"Don't you think I am?"
Lan Li said while getting rid of the other party's hand touching his forehead, frowned and asked with some displeasure: "Who can normal people do that kind of big scene?"
"That kind of scene is indeed rare, but I don't think you are the son of God." Reneth said: "It is impossible for Gods to have sons if they are not humans."
She said, looking at Lan Li curiously, but did not continue to ask for her plans, but continued to talk about the previous topic: "I believe in the God of Thousand Faces. The God of Thousand Faces has thousands of magic, but the most fundamental thing is this."
She said, taking off the mask on her face and handing it to Renli.
"Is this a human skin mask?"
Lan Li asked, and after taking it, she felt that the mask felt like a human face, and she could even feel the temperature.
"It is indeed made of human faces, but magical means are also used. Only the people from the Black and White Academy can make them. I will only bring out a few pairs before leaving there."
Renes explained: "There is the remaining will of the dead. When you wear a mask, you can clearly feel him, and you can also use this to communicate the gods served by the dead in his lifetime, and then exchange them for strength at the cost. So I said, the God of Thousand Faces has thousands of magic."
"Can this kind of exchange be forged?" Lan Li thought.
"It can be said that, but-"
Before she could finish her words, she was forced to interrupt because a crow suddenly landed outside the cabin window, standing on the window edge, and the dark eyes looked at the two people in the window, as if they were shining.
"The Changeable? The Green Prophet?" Renis saw this and quietly touched a glass bottle in his waist pocket, but the crow tilted his head and looked at her, then flapped his wings and ran away.
Looking at that direction, it is obviously where the Iron Islands are located.
“We left in time.”
Looking at the crow moving away until it turned into a black spot, Renis quietly let go of his pocket on his waist, and at the same time lowered his head and said seriously at Renli: "But it's not fast enough."
"Do you think it's going to find me?"
Renli asked while touching her chin.
"I'm not sure."
The person next to him shook his head: "But I don't think there is anything else that can attract it except you."
Lan Li didn't say anything, but looked down at his left wrist.
After the divine fire was ignited, he suspected that some monsters would come to him, so he hurriedly left. What he saw now was indeed like.
but……
Thinking of the crow flapping its wings and leaving without much hesitation, Renli felt much more relaxed.
There was only one wooden wall, but the so-called Green Prophet found nothing, which could already explain some problems.
This is just a low-demon world after all.
He thought to himself.
