A thick oak tree in the dark woods was "burning" with golden flames. A young man knelt in front of the oak tree, reached out to touch it, his short black hair faintly emitted light...
Looking at the dazzling figure soaked by the dazzling golden light, Queen Cersei, who was standing on the edge of the open space, couldn't help but talk. Then when the boy turned to look over, she turned pale and hurriedly pulled her long skirt and turned around and ran away.
The rapid steps made a rustling sound when she stepped on the soft leaves. Various trees around her flew past her eyes. While running, her crimson skirt dragged her sleeves accidentally slashed onto a tree fork next to her, and even the figure who was panicked and ran away involuntarily staggered and stopped. Then she saw her pulling her hands with her hands. With a sting, the hanging sleeves were torn apart, leaving a strip of silk cloth floating in the wind.
After running for a while, she was already panting. Her violent heartbeat made her frown unbearably stop and lean on a poplar tree. She gasped for a few breaths and calmed down. She couldn't help but look back at the route when she came, and found that there was no special light at the end of the forest, and there was only a quiet area, and even the sound of a bird singing was not there.
"What is that?" Cersei murmured, after closing the scraped sleeves, she gritted her teeth and continued to walk forward, but she couldn't help but turn back and look at her eyes, as if she was afraid that a monster would jump out from the depths of the woods.
That's right, Cersei was very scared at this time.
The mysterious and gorgeous scene that she had never seen before made her heart full of horror, and she even dared not stop her steps. But when she walked out of the divine wood forest and walked over the stone wall door of the exterior wall and was guarded by guards, a curiosity suddenly emerged in her heart, her curiosity about her brother-in-law who had never paid much attention to in the past, and even more about the fantasy and gorgeous things.
In fact, Cersei thought she was not too unfamiliar with this mysterious power. When she was a child, she went to the castle with her female companion to find a witch who had predicted her fortune. After seeing the moving chicken legs at the wedding banquet when she married Robert, she had an uncontrollable exploration idea about it.
Over the years, she had collected many books about magic and other things, but failed to learn by herself. Later, after the disciples appeared, she had contacted a woman named Melisandra because of this thought and had a preliminary understanding of the belief of the King of Light.
Unfortunately, the disciples were cleaned up later, and this understanding had to be interrupted. Cersei always regretted that because she thought that such a person was difficult to meet.
However, she saw another one, her husband's younger brother...
Maybe we can continue to explore this unique power from him?
Thinking of this, Cersei, who was walking towards the room along the stone steps, suddenly stopped.
"Will he find out about that hair problem?"
This thought changed Cersei's face.
This matter was the biggest secret in her heart and one thing she paid the most attention to. She was even quite worried when the woman in the red robe suddenly left. Later, she found that Robert's hair had also changed color, so she felt relieved.
Although it is not clear why Robert's hair color has also been changed, his children will obviously have no future problems... But if that brother-in-law is proficient in this mysterious power...
Cersei even unconsciously thought of the rumors inside and outside the Red Castle a while ago - the method of Justice Minister Lan Li interrogating the prisoners was invisible, but it was very powerful, like witchcraft.
After his face became unstable for a while, Cersei turned to look at a waitress following behind him, "Ask me the Duke of Lanli to have dinner together in the side hall tonight."
The waitress bowed and responded, then turned around and hurriedly went to inform.
...
Lan Li on the other side obviously wouldn't have thought of Cersei's thoughts on such things, or at this time he didn't even turn his mind to the person.
After discovering that she turned around and ran away, Lanli turned her attention back to the oak tree in front of her.
Then he discovered that as the golden flames "burning" all over the oak tree became brighter, the tree was constantly "shrinking".
The leaves curled and contracted along the smoldering veins of the golden fire. The branches kept shaking and smaller with the bright light. The overall trunk made a continuous crackling sound, just like the sound of the bones when the old man stretched his waist. It seemed that the house, which was originally loose, was squeezed and changed under the action of external forces. The chaotic collision between various furniture parts inside created a large number of friction sounds...
The whole oak tree continued to shrink, but the tree did not shrink completely in the end. Instead, it suddenly stopped after shrinking by nearly half. Then, as the golden light became brighter, it suddenly turned into a large amount of wood chips and dust, pouring all over the ground.
The trunks, branches, leaves, roots... all turned into gray-black wood chips and dust, and accumulated in the original oak growing place, like a small bulging earth bun, or like a dead lonely grave, surrounded by blood-red grass.
The forest environment has returned to normal. The bright golden lights before were no traces at this moment, but only a few traces left on the retina are quickly dissipating.
However, Lan Li's attention was not on this, but on the dagger in his left hand. At this moment, he could clearly smell a clear "scent", similar to the fragrance of pen and ink, making him familiar and unfamiliar.
"Is it fixed..."
Looking down at the wooden-handled weapon in his hand that was no different from an ordinary dagger, Lan Li was excited, but the next moment he suddenly raised his head and looked vigilantly.
As I saw in front of me, a black crow was falling on a pine tree at this time. Her eyes, claws, and feather colors were all over. The little guy with black body was staring at him tightly. He didn't see any movement, but it made Lan Li feel quite strange.
He thought of some memories of his previous life and one thing he saw when he left the Iron Islands—
The crow has a clear relationship with the old god.
"It seems I've been discovered."
He thought so, but when the crow stared at it for a while, he flew away directly, Lan Li did not continue thinking for the time being, but stood up from the "Lonely Grave" and turned to walk outside the Shenmu Forest.
What are the consequences of being discovered?
Lanli was not clear, but he knew that the faith of the old gods had occupied the entire Westeros in ancient times, but it could not stop the Andals and their seven gods from invading.
If it was a war between two gods, it would be nothing, but if it was constantly in contact with the Seven Gods, Lanli clearly understood that the Seven Gods could not perform miracles at will, or in other words, he had not performed so-called miracles since his birth.
This means that the power of mankind was solely the former God's belief in Westeros was directly defeated.
In addition, when he was in the Iron Islands ten years ago, Renli also came into contact with the birth memory of God of God. The memory was unclear, but it was enough to let him understand that the so-called God of God of God died in the hands of a human being...
