Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 154 153. Extramarital Affair

When Lan En came out of Xiu Fu's rented house, it was still dark.

His questions had been prepared in his mind with Mentos, and he was able to pull out the main information neatly.

Before leaving, Lan En gave Xiu Fu another shot of [Yaxi Sigil], making him think that this was just a vague nightmare.

He won't be able to remember clearly until tomorrow, and he will live his life as usual, preparing to participate in the tournament.

The current situation is that the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear. Lan En doesn't want this guy to show a confused expression of 'I've leaked the secret, am I going to die?' wherever he goes.

It was as if he was afraid that others would not know that someone had been looking for him.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Lan En did not return to the Red Keep in time, but instead headed to Steel Street.

He wanted to learn Tob Mott's knowledge of Valyrian steel along the way.

The basic home of a blacksmith in this era was the storefront.

When Lan En arrived at the blacksmith shop he had just visited during the day, he easily found the master blacksmith.

Then put a [Yaxsi Seal] on him.

His will was worse than that of a monk, and he didn't even need to guide his emotions in advance. In the confusion of his sleep, he started bragging about his craftsmanship.

Lann and Mentos made written and audio recordings to ensure that the spells and techniques for forging Valyrian steel were fully documented.

"Sir, these technologies cannot create Valyrian steel. They can only be recast on existing steel."

"I know, but based on this knowledge, I believe it should not be difficult to complete a complete forging spell with Rita's level of magic."

"Sir, I guess you will have to match Ms. Margarita with a blacksmith with high skills."

"Berengar, didn't that guy always say he wanted to open a blacksmith shop? After living for hundreds of years, he must be somewhat good at his craftsmanship."

Seeing that Lan En actually had everything sorted out, Mentos stopped talking.

Tob Mott's skills were shrouded in mystery and kept secret when he usually boasted about them.

But like most technologies, crossing the threshold only requires a few key words.

Lan En got an awkward spell from him, as well as two temperature nodes and duration. The technology for reforging Valyrian steel is now available.

By the time Lan En returned to the gate of the Red Keep, the sky was at its darkest before dawn.

The small door embedded in the main door of the Red Fort had been closed but unlocked when he left.

As long as you don't pull it intentionally, you won't see the problem.

It's convenient for him to go back now.

The guards of the Red Keep still looked like they were working hard, which made Lan En's night walk as easy as going home.

When he returned to the Prime Minister's Tower and took off his insecure black leather clothes in the room, Ed came to the door with a candle.

"It seems that you haven't slept all night? Then you should cheer up during the day to avoid being discovered."

Lan En welcomed Ed, and the two sat down on the chairs in the room.

"This is about the truth about my adoptive father's death. There is no way I can sleep."

As he spoke, Ed's throat was obviously choked and his eyes were red.

It seems that he has a really good relationship with the former prime minister.

"I'll tell you the truth." Lan En leaned back in his chair and said softly.

"Hugh also believed that the Lannister was responsible. He claimed that the former Prime Minister died of a 'curse', and the Lannister family had tried to stop him from checking something many times before. He was not sick or in trouble, and he was in good health. The old man died of acute gastrointestinal disease overnight. This frightened Xiufu. Is this what your information said? Are you sure it was gastrointestinal disease? "

Ed nodded heavily, "Robert had already asked the maester to check it many times at that time and confirmed that it was gastrointestinal disease."

Lan En nodded, with nothing unusual on his face.

"But I still think it's just caused by a rare and expensive drug, a 'jinx'. If you can really master it here, why use it on an old man?"

"Moreover."

Speaking of this, Lan En looked at Ed with a strange expression.

This expression even made the Hand of the King a little confused.

"According to what Xiufu said, the reason why he was not taken away by Mrs. Lysa, your sister-in-law, was because he vaguely knew something about Madam Lysa's extramarital affair."

Ed's expression changed from grief to shock under this news.

The process of change made Lan En want to laugh a little bit if he said something less moral.

It is hard to imagine that Ed Stark, a man as cold and serious as a glacier rock, would show such an expression.

"Who is Lysa with?"

"Petyr Baelish, 'Littlefinger', Chancellor of the Exchequer. I don't know this person. The monk said so. Judging from the title, you should have seen him at the Royal Council."

Lan En shrugged, not thinking it was a big deal.

After all, the absurd and excessive living habits of the nobles are well known to everyone, so Lan En thought this was just another joke.

But as Ed's expression gradually turned serious, there was also a hint of absurdity mixed in with it.

The witcher's feeling told Lan En that he seemed to have unintentionally dug up some powerful information.

If you think about the people Ed met during the investigation, the answer is readily apparent.

"I said, this can't be that." At this time, even Lan En's expression became a little shocked.

"That 'person obsessed with his wife', right?"

After a long silence, Ed nodded with a cold face.

"Wow, this is really true." Mr. Lan, a simple young man from the countryside, clapped his hands gently in amazement and was speechless.

"I've been investigating for a long time, and all the people helping you are people you can't trust?!"

The warning from his adoptive father's widow was an important reason why Ed became prime minister. It turned out that this widow was an extramarital affair.

The finance minister whom his wife said was ‘trustworthy’ was the man who had an extramarital affair with his adoptive father’s widow.

The Prime Minister suddenly felt that he had been treated like a fool the whole time he came to King's Landing!

Even in his current angry mood, Ed believed that these two people were more suspected of murder than Lannister!

But wait for him to take a few deep breaths and calm down.

He knew that the main enemy at present was the Lannister family where the queen belonged.

After all, the former prime minister was silenced because he discovered something shocking. There is no need to do this for a simple extramarital affair.

"Baelish invited me to go for a walk in the royal courtyard this morning. He said he had any information for me."

Ed told Lan En about today's schedule.

It can be seen that he now relies a little on Lan En's judgment.

"Then listen to what he wants to reveal to you. By the way, no one will notice my actions today, so I hope your acting skills can be better."

"Acting skills?" The serious and stubborn Northerner pursed his lips, "I-I'll give it a try."
