288 Mission to the Iron Islands
The thick fog fell in the early morning, covering a vast white area of courtyard in the Red Fort. However, although this situation hindered the view, it did not affect the passing servants understanding what was happening in the courtyard.
The continuous sound of metal collisions kept coming from the courtyard. You could guess without looking closely that someone must be fighting with a sword in the courtyard.
Looking closely, there were two knights wearing metal armor competing for sword fighting. One was wide and strong, with regular movements, and the other was holding the helmet with a dog's head, and the attack was rapid.
Back and forth, the two strong figures seemed evenly matched, but gradually, the dog-headed Knight's movements became more and more clumsy, and even the number of attacks became less and less, and the defense situation continued to increase.
But even though the outcome seemed to be decided, the dog-headed Knight did not completely give up resistance, but gritted his teeth and persevered in the opponent's storm-like attack - although his trembling body and stiff limbs made it very difficult for him to persevere.
Tyrion, who had been watching from a distance for a while, was secretly surprised by this.
Sandor, the dog-headed knight, was born in the Western Region, and others didn't know how capable they were, but Tyrion knew very well. He was one of the top knights in the Western Region. He was very powerful in fighting immediately or fighting under horses, otherwise he would not have been sent to protect Prince Joffrey.
However, in the duel with the seemingly ordinary boy, Tyrion only barely took the upper hand from the beginning when he saw this top Western Knight, and the situation became worse and worse.
Tyrion suffers from dwarfism and cannot be a knight, but he still has his eyesight. In his opinion, the boy who fought with the hunting dog cannot compare with the hunting dog, but his physical strength is much better than the hunting dog. Relatively speaking, in the past, Tyrion looked strong like a hunting dog knight, but now he looks like a guy who is not good at it. He seems to be exhausted before he persists in the battle, and his movements are getting slower and slower.
"Why didn't you find this guy so useless before?" He muttered secretly, but his eyes looked at the figure of another onlooker deep in the yard.
From a distance, the figure was hidden behind the hazy white fog, which seemed blurry and ethereal. However, as Tyrion stepped forward with his short legs, the image of the man gradually became clearer, and finally showed a heroic posture.
The short black hair is neat and shiny, and the color is slightly wet and watery under the morning mist. The figure is tall and handsome, and his handsome facial features are as three-dimensional as a carved one. He stands quietly in a corner of the courtyard with his hands on his back, without any movement, but a sense of extraordinary temperament arises naturally, which makes people instantly appreciate it after seeing it.
But in general, this person actually has nothing very unique, that is, he does not have the solemn and solemn kind of a priest, nor does he pretend to be mysterious. He is in the courtyard, except that he is really excellent in appearance and temperament, but he has not yet exceeded the scope of human beings.
When he greeted him, his tone and expression were also normal, with a smile on his face and a casual expression, which was no different from the attitude of ordinary people towards friends.
Tyrion breathed a sigh of relief because of this.
He still attaches great importance to Renli. Not to mention his current identity and influence, the experience of his childhood is enough to keep him very kind to Renli-
In the Western Region, even from the Seven Kingdoms, there are many people who call him Tyrion a little demon or a deformed little demon monkey, but who said as seriously as Lan Li once said that he was very fond of him?
He has remembered this for nearly ten years, but he has not forgotten it now.
Therefore, Tyrion was actually quite concerned about Renli's affairs. After hearing some rumors, he ran over.
"Even if Greyjoy is savage, he will never do anything to you. We hold his two sons." After a brief greeting, Tyrion said straight to the point.
That's right, he came over this time to comfort Lan Li. Because His Majesty Robert ordered the Minister of Justice beside him to go to the Iron Islands during the imperial meeting yesterday to urge the troops there to join the war.
"I never thought that sea monster would be bad for me."
Lan Li said with a smile: "He doesn't have the courage yet."
Tyrion thought he was talking about the deterrence of hostages and the Iron Throne, so he shrugged, "It is unlikely that he will get involved in this situation. Your mission will probably not be effective."
"I think so too, but since Your Majesty hopes, I'll go there." Lanli replied.
...
At the beginning of the war, a group of pirates who came from outside to join the war always claimed that Lan Li was the son of God of God. No one cared about it at that time, but now he had to pay attention to this point.
Although I don’t know much about the gods, considering that Lanli was kidnapped in the coastal area when she was a child, the name of the Son of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the Iron Islands is not groundless. At the same time, the pirates claim that the Son of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the Iron Islands is quite popular, so it means that Lanli may have a strong influence there—
Since the war began, the Iron Islands have been waiting and watching.
So someone suggested that Renli go there to "urge him".
Robert, who was worried about the war all day long, was very moved by this proposal, and the others were the same, so after asking for Lanli's advice, the mission was decided.
Lan Li had no reason to refuse. Although he noticed the abnormality of some people in this matter, he still wanted to go out.
At this time, the situation inside Junlin had been very stable, and it would be useless for him to stay here.
The Iron Islands are indeed a powerful force, especially the Iron Islands have a serious lack of maritime power. At the same time, as the Baratheon royal family and even as the real fuse of the war, Renli naturally hopes that the war can end soon.
As for whether there will be any turmoil in Junlin after leaving, for example, the Prime Minister was poisoned like when he left last time, Lan Li thought that no one would be so bold that he would take action rashly before he could figure out his true background.
Besides, he is not a nanny, so it is unnecessary to stare here without moving.
Everyone is adults, and no one is so fragile. Even the former Prime Minister who was poisoned, he would not have been caught if he had not expected his wife to be an insider.
So this matter has basically been confirmed. Renly is about to go on a mission to the Iron Islands soon, but facing the short man in front of him, he did not talk much about it, but changed the subject.
"I heard you work in a mint?"
"The Mint's Golden Dragon is so dazzling, but unfortunately it can only be seen but not touched." Tyrion shrugged and replied: "Originally, I came to Junlin to join the war and joined the city defense or the navy. Unfortunately, many people don't believe that a big-headed dwarf can have any war skills."
Lan Li smiled when she heard this.
If he was a native, he would not be able to look down on the dwarf with short limbs in front of him. There is nothing else. Most of the dwarfs in this world are synonymous with clowns and jesters. There is no other way to survive except for people to enjoy themselves.
Even though Tyrion is flexible, worldly prejudice has long been deeply rooted. No one is interested in paying more attention to whether a dwarf has talent, let alone giving him the opportunity to prove himself.
"Before leaving, I will recommend you to be a military adviser in front of Robert." Lanley said this under Tyrion's surprise gaze.
He knew that the short man in front of him was very talented, so he naturally would not let talents be treated coldly. At the same time, he had spiritual talent. Lan Li could completely ignore the "camp" and value talents without worrying about meeting bad people.
...
Apart from Tyrion, basically no one came to him privately as a friend, and Renli had no luggage to pack, so the day after the conversation, he set off directly for the Iron Islands.
