71 The Dagger of the Zed

Bai Lu Wenda has always been curious about what the child who gave her son a golden dragon and had not yet received any reward.

Is it a naughty child in aristocratic families?

Or is a rich and fat little guy with big hands?

Or is it a kind-hearted and weak boy?

Every time she picked up the golden dragon, she would think of this problem, and when her companions discussed and decided to give up the ordinary life in the Imperial Land and went to join the boy, she would always think about it.

Now she finally saw the person involved and felt a little strange.

A black velvet jacket with silver edges looks a little loose, and the same is true for the lower pants. He looks very thin when put on the boy. The crowned stag emblem woven with gold thread and black silk on his chest shines brightly under the sunlight outside the window. His face is pale and looks a little weak, as if he has just had a serious illness - it is true.

At first glance, this seemed to be a frail boy. Except for his black hair, he couldn't help but want to play with it. However, when the boy's beautiful blue eyes looked at her, this impression changed completely.

It was a pair of calm and scrutinized eyes, giving her a feeling that was completely opposite to the boy's age, but at this time she cared more about the color of these eyes-

The stunning ice blue color is magnificent and deep, but it does not appear cold, but has a strange attraction. When you are watched, it makes her feel comfortable in the cool summer weather being blown by the cool sea breeze.

"How did you do it?"

The slightly hoarse voice of the child interrupted the woman's surprise, and she stopped thinking and replied: "I observed him for a few days and found that he did not bring any soldiers under him, but only a little baby and a nurse in a hotel in the city."

She said, and paused, and saw the boy listening attentively, she spoke again: "He was not here on the day King Robert patrolled the city, so I took the opportunity to climb in through the window and secretly took the child away."

At first, Wen Da was afraid that the child in front of him would not understand what he was saying, so he spoke very slowly, but when he saw the other person listening calmly, his speech speed unconsciously increased a lot.

"I left him a note and asked him to bring the ransom to redeem the child. At the same time, I asked him to remove his weapons and armor to go to the location I designated so that I would actually appear. But when he went, I actually climbed into the hotel again and brought out all the things he left behind. Fortunately, I thought I would have to repeat it several times before I could get it.

The blonde woman in a light green cloak said, squatting down and patting the thick wooden box at her feet.

"It's all here, sir." She unknowingly used a respectful word.

At this time, the two were in a soldier's duty room on the edge of the Red Fort. In order to see the female bandit, Lan Li forged a "letter" from Fengxi Castle in advance and handed it to Davos. Only after the woman was qualified to pass through the Red Fort gate. Before the soldiers could inform the busy Mr. Robert, Lan Li appeared here appropriately and "coincidentally" intercepted Hu.

It was now a time when the government was busy in the Throne Hall, so Renly was not afraid of Robert running over after hearing the letter. At the same time, Stannis was not in the Red Castle at the moment, so he could receive the woman in front of him with confidence.

The other party had already lifted the box open when he spoke. Lan Li glanced a few times and finally saw the goal he wanted in the gap between a pile of leather belts.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but instead of taking it out immediately, he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and asked, "What's the situation with the baby now?"

"I'll put it back," said the other party: "He's a little annoying, crying and screaming, and peeing all over me."

Lan Li knew what kind of personality this person is.

Like her original identity, she is a female bandit.

He is very familiar with things like kidnapping and extortion, does not show much sadness about the death of his companions, does not care about violating the law, does not care about the means, and everything aims to achieve the goal.

But she is not just a female bandit.

It sounds like she is quite smart, and what’s interesting is that normal bandits and robbers can’t read, but now this person can read and write.

This is not an ordinary thing. You should know that even from a noble family, many people can't read a lot of people.

The lord class basically only needs to be able to read and write. Others have bachelors, so they don’t have much effort to study.

Moreover, people in this world generally do not like to study, but are happy to dance with swords and guns.

"Where did you learn to read and write?" Lan Li asked curiously.

The man in front of him looked about thirty years old, tall and slender, with his blonde hair scattered and spread out, looking a little casual, and his appearance was also very beautiful.

“My father is a hired knight.”

The other party replied: "He has taught me to read and write since I was a child."

Lan Li nodded when she heard this, and did not ask any more questions. Instead, she pulled off a small gray bag tied around her waist and handed it to the other party.

"If you really want to be my retainer, you will naturally have a fixed salary, but you were not before that, so this is the reward for you."

His golden dragon has been spent, so the bag naturally doesn't contain gold coins, but it comes from Meige Tower, but it is also valuable.

The other party took the bag and opened it and showed a look of joy.

Lan Li smiled when she saw this, and then looked at the boy who was pulling the corner of the woman's hood, and was a little nervous.

The boy was wearing a brown trouser tunic and tight trousers, with a delicate look and a pair of green eyes that looked shiny.

He seemed to be seven or eight years old, with a neat face, not as dirty as he had seen before, nor as sloppy as an ordinary commoner child. He was obviously washed up before coming.

However, facing Lan Li's gaze, his clean face turned red, and his head was subconsciously lowered, looking a little nervous.

"Is she a girl?" Lan Li asked strangely when she saw this.

"boy."

The woman who had put her purse in her pocket stood up and answered, and reached out and patted her son's head with brown hair: "Tub, call him sir."

"Big, sir..."

The stuttering words sounded shy, and they looked like an honest child at first glance. Lan Li was actually very satisfied with this because he liked honest people.

So he said to the woman, "You stay in King's Landing first, and when I leave Red Castle one day, you will bring your son to follow you. If you have any questions, find Davos first."

Davos, whom he mentioned, was not in the room, but was chatting with the guards outside, which attracted attention.

The woman nodded after hearing this, and then took her son with tactfully.

She didn't know about Lan Li, only knew that Davos could contact this person, and later she was surprised when she was ordered to do this. She originally wanted to ask the boy why he wanted to find a way to get the weapons and equipment of the northern Zedi man, but she never asked in the end.

For some reason, she always felt a sense of restraint in front of the child who was younger than her son, as if a civilian was facing a lord with a higher status than her.

However, she is not a civilian, but a female bandit. She used to be a specialist who made a living by bullying and extorting those noble masters, so this is a bit abnormal.

Maybe you care too much about this opportunity?

She thought to herself secretly.

After the Royal Brotherhood was wiped out, the bandits who were once glorious could only live a life of silence with their tails. Because of their profession, they knew a lot of nobles, and even when they walked out of the forest, they seemed cautious, for fear of being recognized and then hanging or beheaded.

However, hiding sneakily in the forest to raise pigs for a living is not something these people are willing to do. This boredom reaches its peak after an old companion fell ill and had no money to treat.

So when the golden dragon descended, they resolutely embarked on the road to King's Landing.

At first they actually planned to defect to Stannis, after all, there was a precedent for smugglers. They just waited for them to extinguish the idea after finding out the specific situation. After some consideration, they looked at the owner of the golden dragon, the young master of the Baratheon family.

They want to make some money from this child. Although this idea is actually not reliable, having ideas is better than having no ideas.

As a result, he was very unlucky. He didn't get the money but lost two of his life. His companions were all dead. Wen Da was actually disheartened about this and decided to go back to the forest to continue raising pigs. As a result, the noble young master who had never posted it before suddenly handed over a note and offered her a generous price.

Consider raising her son to be a knight!

For some people, knights can hire a lot of super soldiers by being called and spent money, but for most civilians, becoming a knight is equivalent to reaching the top position in one step, and you may not be able to reach the top position even if you struggle for a lifetime.

Although she was not an ordinary civilian, Wen Da knew better what this promise meant, so although the other party was not sure about her words, and even though the other party was only a five-year-old child, she still tried her best to complete the matter.

The process may be understated, but she only knows the hardships and dangers.

Just for the sake of the children, nothing is nothing.

...

The things from the two boxes were carried by the guards into the room in Lanli's Mege Building.

The boy claimed that this was some of the previous toys and clothes sent to him by Fengxi Castle, and no one of the guards doubted this.

After some busyness, the room became quiet. Only a black cat came over curiously and circled around. Lan Li ignored this, but immediately opened the box and watched intently.

Because he had once revealed his curiosity about daggers in front of the Zedi people, he did not tell the female bandit what he really wanted, and therefore there were many items in the box.

Most of them are clothes, and they also have leather mail, but Lan Li only has the wooden dagger hidden in the pile of clothes.

Without hesitation, he picked up the dagger and then flipped it in front of him and looked at it.

This dagger looks very ordinary, with nanmu as the handle, and the iron dagger shines with a sharp luster under the sunlight shining outside the balcony, which is obviously maintained for a long time.

It's just different from before, I sniffed it with my nose close up. Lan Li suddenly realized that the dagger did not really lose that smell, it still existed, but it just became very weak.

"Doesn't consumed? Or..."

Thinking about it, he did not test whether he could enter the copy by holding it tightly at this time, but put it in his "trash can".

The physical weakness led to mental depression. At this time, he felt that he had no strength in his body, had not yet fully recovered his health, and he really had no intention of taking risks.

So although the dagger doesn't look very normal now, he didn't dare to do a real test, otherwise he would be a little caught off guard if he just rushed in.

"After you have good health..."

This thought flashed through his mind, and Lanli turned his head to look at a bowl of fragrant pea bacon soup placed on the bedside table. It was the leftover food for breakfast, and Lanli did not ask the servants to take it away.

After all, eating more can bring you faster, so he had decided to be a bucket of food during this period.
