51 Rumors and secret passages
The memories of using musical instruments appear one after another in my mind, flute, ancient harp, harp, violin, hand drum...
All the instruments that can be found in the Westeros continent seem to be missing at this moment. In addition, there are some pictures of singing in the crowded taverns and streets and other venues, and some of them seem to not belong to this world. Some of the songs and tunes he had heard intentionally or unintentionally in his previous life were linked up.
This memory was really complicated. Sitting beside the dragon skull in the dark, Lan Li even felt his mind swelling, but the memory came and went quickly. After it emerged, it began to converge quickly, and finally merged with his original memory, as if it was personal experience.
He lowered his head and relaxed his fingers. Lanli felt that he was completely different from before.
But before he could feel all this carefully, his heartbeat, which was originally stable, suddenly became faster. The sound of beating was like a drum roaring in his ears, which was particularly obvious in the silent cellar—
【You have obtained professional characteristics: rhythm sensitive】
...
As the heartbeats quickly, there seems to be a stinging and numbness in both ears, but the mind seems extremely clear at this moment, and his expression is a little dazed, but the change does not stop because he is not in his state.
A faint sound gradually emerged around it, which was originally unaudible - the sound of mice passing through the walls, the buzzing sound of flying insects flapping their wings in the dark, the slight cold wind whimpering from a gap in the corner of the cellar, and the rapid steps coming from somewhere...
Feeling all these changes, Lan Li unconsciously looked down at herself.
【Race Level: LV1】
...
It seemed as if information that had not changed for thousands of years was floating out, and no other "attributes" appeared besides this, Lan Li felt helpless about it.
The "system" he has is very simple, and it is not that simple to watch information.
For example, now, when he looks at himself alone, he can only see his "physical condition". If you want to know all the information, you have to go find a mirror, then look at your face, or look at your own eyes.
Thinking of it, he stood up, took a last look at the ground under his feet that had become empty, and then walked towards the exit of the cellar.
...
"He is only five years old! Seventh-level hell, you can even lose a five-year-old child? You have the shame to tell me that he ran away by himself? Tell me again, why did he run away by himself!?"
At this time, there was a stir in the Throne Hall, with angry curses constantly, and the sound echoed in the empty hall, making it loud and full of tremor.
"I really should have called two old ladies with lost teeth as guards. Yes, I should do this! At least they won't lose my little brother. You guys? You both are fucking food, waste! What else can you do!?"
The roar was accompanied by a series of soft persuasion and the loud collision of the stool being kicked away. Some servants passing outside the hall couldn't help but speed up. Even the two fully armed knights guarding the gate swallowed, as if they were afraid that the volcano that had erupted for a long time would affect them.
Lord Robert's young brother Renly suddenly disappeared while wandering in the castle, but the two guards responsible for following and protecting could not tell any clues - except for an attack by a black cat.
...
This incident happened this morning, but it was already midnight, but no one was found. The Red Fort was very large, but hundreds of people had searched it in succession, but they had found nothing.
The new king who was about to be crowned was furious and kept scolding him and sent people to search again. As a result, he even searched the dungeons of Red Fort, but still found no clues, except for someone who was washing clothes and claiming that he was running towards the virgin residence of Red Fort.
However, there was no sign of a child in the rectangular fortress. All the places around were searched, including Prime Minister's Tower, Meige Tower, White Sword Tower, Shenmu Forest...
Sir Balistan, the Royal Guard, also mentioned the cellar of the Red Fort. He claimed that the boy was once interested in the keel in the cellar, but after leading the team to search, he also returned in vain.
A living person disappeared like this. This is very common in the slums of King's Landing City, but it would be absolutely abnormal if it were the royal castle of Red Fort.
At this time, there were countless nobles in the king's land. If such a big disturbance occurred, the news could not be hidden, and the rumors were flying all over the sky.
People speculated that this was very likely that the enemy assassin sneaked into the Red Fort kidnapped the child, and some people speculated that the assassin was originally a person in the Red Fort and officially launched an attack at this time.
Some people with bad intentions secretly claimed that this must be the mischief of Prince Rega, the tragic death of his wife and sons of Prince Rega, who died. They were tortured when they died, and now they were about to pay the blood debts of the usurper's family.
The last speculation was widely circulated among these nobles, because unlike other speculations, there is "evidence" - that black cat.
Two guards were attacked by a black cat, but in a blink of an eye the boy from the Baratheon family disappeared. This list looked nothing, but many nobles were regular guests and courtiers in the Red Fort during the previous dynasty. Most of them knew Prince Raiga's daughter, and the little princess with Dorn blood once raised a black cat named Bellerion.
In folk legends, black cats are closely related to mysterious things like witches and ghosts...
The nagging remarks scared many young noble men and women in panic, and some girls even swear to promise with their companions that they would never hang out in the Red Fort, so as not to see the dead souls.
However, when the new news came out, they were quite disappointed.
The little guy named Lan Li was found, or he ran out on his own initiative, and the location was not elsewhere, but the Red Fort that had been searched several times.
Some people don’t believe this, but it is true. Many people cannot imagine why there is still an unfounded place for Tibetans to search countless times.
The angry Robert Baratheon and his courtiers even suspected that the little guy was lying (from the letters to the old bachelor of Windsburg, Robert had learned that Renly liked to lie), and there might be other hidden information.
However, when the party was questioned in the throne hall, he swears and denies it with quibbling and shows the quibbling words he had already thought of.
"There is a secret passage in this castle. I accidentally touched the switch and went in, so you can't find me."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the people gathered in the Throne Hall looked at each other. The kingdom's intelligence chief, the eunuch named Varis, narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and then asked softly, with curiosity.
"So where is the secret passage? Child?"
"I forgot where I fell in." Lan Li turned to look at him, looking innocent.
