Those ancient people wanted to "abandon darkness and turn to light". After thinking about it, Lan Li thought that they did have this reason.

So he is ready to give these people a chance to prove it.

It was this opportunity to ask them to go to the Crab Claw Peninsula to find out the specific situation in the local area, but in fact, Lan Li himself did not expect any help to him, because he didn't know what the situation was in that place. He just felt a little unusual, so when he saw someone coming over, he instructed the person there, which was a step of chess that was better than nothing.

As for chess, Lan Li doesn't pay much attention to it. This seems to him just a small episode. In contrast, he is more moved by the firmness of the Westeros class system—

Facts have proved that what can you do if you have talent? What can you do if you have ambition? Without a corresponding background, you can’t get on the table or not.

...

The next journey was no longer accidents, hills, mountains, forests, wilderness... The long journey made people feel boring, but there was always an end. Lanli customized route from a road called Rose Avenue to the royal forest of the Stormland, and then crossed the forest to head towards a zone called sharp corners.

The cliff is the name of a castle and is also a lord family territory loyal to Lanli. The Balemmon family ruled the cliff. The clan leader of the cliff held a welcome banquet for Lanli's arrival, and then sent ships to Longshi Island across the sea.

From a distance, Longshi Island is not flat, like a peak bulging in the ocean. After slowly approaching, the peak gradually spreads and opens. From this, you can see clearly that there is a slightly flat stone hilly area at the foot of the mountain.

It was noon, but the sky was gloomy. The top of the highest mountain on the island slowly rose with pale and gray smoke, faintly as if connected to the dark clouds in the sky, silently revealing the fact that it is an active volcano.

On the top of another hill slightly shorter on the side of the volcanic peak, a huge towering castle that is towering and black is reflected in the eyes. The castle is made of black stone and the heavy walls cover most of the buildings. However, just from the few towers revealed above the castle, you can see the extraordinaryness of this castle-

Several black towers are carved in shape like giant dragons, and they stand quietly around a huge main castle with a round arch top in the castle. The battlements on the edges of the black walls are also filled with various dragon-shaped decorations. At first glance, the castle seems to be formed by countless giant dragons.

As the ships continued to approach, the Heilong Castle standing on a high place became clearer, and the vast stone land under the castle and a densely constructed village also came into view. However, before the ship could really dock, someone found them on a lighthouse on the edge of the island, and they were notified in advance.

Then Lan Li met a relative who had been in the river bay for more than ten years.

Andrü Ismon, a stable middle-aged man from the matriarchal family of the three Baratheon brothers, was born into a steady middle-aged man in the Ismon family. In fact, Renli knew this person when he was in Fengxi Castle.

"Elin sent a long letter to ask when Lord Lanli will return to Longshi Island. I think he will come to visit him directly after hearing the news of your arrival." The middle-aged man with a beard and a pair of thick brown eyebrows said happily after hugging Lanli, which reminded Lanli in a trance of the interesting fat playmate when he was a child.

"I'm looking forward to seeing him again, too."

Lan Li laughed and said, "He still owe me a turtle banquet."

While chatting and laughing, the two walked on the rugged road of Longshi Island. Instead of going to the village and town not far away, they slowly walked towards the castle on the towering hills diagonally above the distance.

The Andrew next to him was not the father of the little fat man, but one of his cousins. Lan Li still remembers that the little fat man claimed that this person knocked on his forehead for a long time, and wanted to knock him stupidly, but he stared at his inheritance ranking with malicious intentions. However, in fact, this middle-aged man named Andrew was a steady and kind-hearted good man.

As he walked along the way, this matriarchal relative who came from a matriarchal family took the initiative to talk about everything on Longshi Island without asking more questions.

Financial conditions, territorial taxes, population status, several vassal families...

In fact, Lan Li has some understanding of these, but it is not too detailed. Now it seems that he has a more intuitive understanding of his territory-

Territory finance can barely fill the majestic but expensive castle on the island, but you can't even think about having wealth.

The population on the island is less than 1,000, and the vassals under their command are also not strong. If a war begins, they will not call out much troops at all.

At the same time, the four vassals directly under their command also had their own little thoughts. Earl of Saitiga from Crab Island is greedy and stingy, and he is a slut. Every time he comes to pay taxes, he has to cheat and cheat. Earl of Valerian from Chaotou Island is always guarding the glorious and glorious family in the past, arrogant and self-aware. The sharp-horned Bar Aimmon family is very honest, but contemporary Count Bar Aimmon is a sick person. He always gets sick after a year. There is no guarantee that he will die suddenly. His only heir is also a weak and sick little fat man, which is very worrying.

The only normal thing is the Sanglas family in Miaogang, but the contemporary Earl of Sanglas is crazy about the Seven Gods, and in Andrew's opinion, it is not a normal person.

Lan Li listened quietly to all this and did not express any comments.

It can only be said that he had no expectations for this Longshi Island territory. Aside from the special status of this island during the reign of Targaryen, the only thing that he could attract attention here was the Dragon Crystal Mine hidden under the volcano on the island.

According to the memory of the previous life, the so-called dragon crystal is a powerful tool for dealing with the White Walkers, which is the great disaster that will happen in this world in a few years. However, before that, it seems impossible to use it to make profits.

"Bachelor Kans is a respectable old man, very capable and kind, but he is now treating some sick villagers at the foot of Longshan. We have not had time to inform him of your return."

After talking about the vassal situation, Andrew began to introduce the personnel composition in the castle, and the Longshan he mentioned was the huge active volcano on the island.

"Because you are not here all year round, there are no staff members such as housekeepers and coaches in the castle. Most of the servants in the castle are local residents of Dragon Stone Island, and they—"

The forward team was walking along the mountain road that was slanted upwards, but a thin, round-faced young man suddenly rushed out and half-kneeled on the ground and started to cry at Lan Li.

"Mr. Duke, you are finally back. You have to make the decision for my father!"

The man had a loud voice, and the team was in a commotion. Andrew, who was interrupted by his side, was already displeased. Seeing this, he couldn't help frowning, and then whispered to Lanli: "He is from the Seitiga family."

Lan Li was stunned when she heard this, and then she realized it.
