A Western fantasy journey that began with Game of Thrones

Do decent people need others to guide them to the right path?

This question is obvious, so although everything he saw and heard was terrible, after thinking about it, Renly became more confident about it.

He felt that he seemed to have found the target of the mission, or in other words, no one he had met so far met the "requirements" better than her.

However, after asking around and getting to know the nun named Raya carefully, he was dumbfounded.

She was dumb, but not because of a problem with her language organs, but because she couldn't hear the outside sounds.

Simply put, she was a deaf-mute, a deaf-mute of fifteen or sixteen years old.

In this case, simple communication was a problem, so how could it be possible to guide smoothly?

Renly didn't know much about this kind of group, and this world didn't have the perfect sign language communication method of his previous life, so as soon as he discovered this, he felt that this seemed to be an impossible task.

But he was a little unwilling to give up just like that, so although Renly didn't start to act in the next few days, he still kept observing the target and thinking about countermeasures every day.

Everything he saw and heard was still terrible, and even severely hit his self-confidence, but Renly also discovered some of her life patterns.

For example, every morning she would run to a chair in the square in front of the cathedral and sit and pray for about ten minutes. At this time, she looked the quietest.

For example, she really liked all kinds of small insects. Every day she would go around and catch insects and put them in her own small jars. She was like a treasure.

For example, no one disciplined or cared about her, but she never left the cathedral and always lived in the area at the top of the Rhaenys Hill. Although she often stared at the outside world in a daze, she looked eager.

For example, although she would destroy various flowers in the flowerbed, she only spared mint. Renly initially thought that this might be because she only liked mint flowers, but later found that she did like mint, but she liked it in the form of eating.

Sister Raya liked to eat mint leaves, but there was not much mint planted in the flowerbed of the cathedral, so she ate it very sparingly, only about one or two pieces a day, and then carefully stopped picking more.

After discovering this, Renly began to act.

His method of action was not direct contact, but sending mint -

There was not much mint in the temple, but looking at the whole King's Landing, there was no shortage of sources. Considering the other party's situation, he obviously couldn't use normal words to build relationships, so he could only use actions.

Giving gifts is a bit cliché, but it's not bad. After all, catering to the other party's preferences is one of the keys to building relationships in any world. Since Renly's goal is to guide the other party to the right path, being able to "talk" to Sister Raya is naturally a prerequisite.

However, this prerequisite also requires skills. The other party has a special personality. Renly did not go to her house directly, but secretly put a branch of mint with leaves at her door every morning before she went out, and then ignored it and went to train on his own.

He did this very secretly, but he didn't hide himself deliberately. There was no movement at the beginning, but later every time Renly went to deliver, he could vaguely feel that there was a pair of eyes secretly watching him behind the window in the house.

In this way, a week passed, and Renly found that every time he passed by Sister Raya intentionally or unintentionally, he would attract her attention. This seemed nothing, and anyone would be surprised when strangers continuously gave mints.

But this paved the way for the next contact.

So after a secret observation, he found that this mean girl had stolen something from someone else again and was discovered and was being slapped, so he jumped out directly.

Although the hero saving the beauty is too cliché, cliché does not mean it is not useful, or why this "strategy" has become so cliché, it is because of its practicality.

So, under the bright sunshine, the heroic blond knight grabbed the raised arm of a middle-aged nun, and at the same time, his tall figure blocked the petite nun, and asked knowingly: "Being mean is not a virtue, nun, what did she do wrong to deserve your beating?"

"She stole my headscarf, sir, she is a thief, always a thief, not innocent at all!" The attacker was very angry about this.

"Stealing a headscarf? But I saw that your headscarf was still on your head?"

"Of course it was my other headscarf, sir, that was stolen by this little bitch. If you don't believe me, look at what she is holding in her hand!"

"I only saw that she was holding her own headscarf, not——"

According to the normal sequence that Renly expected, after a conversation, he would have started to make some initial contact with Sister Raya. Unfortunately, before the routine was finished, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded behind him. Turning around, the slender white figure had already run away quickly, and there was no need to pay attention to what was going on here.

This made Renly stunned, and the depression in his heart was simply not worth mentioning.

After pretending to understand the situation, he apologized to the middle-aged nun, and then returned to his residence in a depressed mood.

"You look very upset, Sir Lemon." The bald attendant "Ego" who was fiddling with his necklace in the house asked with a smile when he saw him return: "Were you hit by other sirs on the training ground?"

"You should call the master."

Brenly glared at the other man unhappily. Then he walked to his bed, bent down and took out a box from under the bed, and then waved to the squire.

"Egg, come here."

"What for?" The other man asked vigilantly, thinking that this guy was going to hit him.

It was common for knights to hit squires, and it was not unheard of for some knights to use squires as punching bags when they were unhappy, so even though this man had been very kind before, it did not mean that he would not do such a thing.

"Your hair has grown again, I'll shave it for you." Renly replied, and as he spoke, he gestured to the sharp razor taken out of the box.

The other man said "oh" when he heard this, ran out to wipe his forehead with soapy water, and then walked honestly to the front of the blond knight.

Renly's shaving skills were obviously not very skilled, and he even accidentally shaved a cut on the other man's forehead, but except for a muffled groan, the little guy did not express any dissatisfaction, and stood there quietly, looking very well-behaved.

This made Renly sigh secretly, and he felt that it would be great if his target could be as worry-free as this one - he has not caused any trouble since he was captured. Is there any better prisoner in the world than him?

"I suspect my father had an accident."

Feeling his head being constantly manipulated, the boy suddenly said: "Otherwise he would not be so quiet."

Renly did not speak after hearing this, but the other party spoke again: "He is soft-hearted and always wants to satisfy everyone. He hopes to be respected by people like my grandfather, but that does not mean that he is really weak. He loves us very much. Those mobs climbed into the Red Castle and stabbed his brother, so he decided to return to Dragonstone. It was not because of fear, but because of his family. The Red Castle has not been built yet, and it is not safe at all."

"So what do you think he will encounter?"

Renly asked casually: "Is he sick?"

"I suspect it is magic." The boy said seriously: "Dark magic."

He did not say it clearly, but Renly understood what he meant after hearing it.

There are rumors that Queen Visennia of Aegon the Conqueror is at odds with Aenys, and Queen Visennia is said to have studied black magic and poison since childhood. Later generations even have rumors that Queen Visennia's only son Maegor was born by her using black magic.

Renly thinks this statement is unreliable. After all, people always throw all kinds of dirty water on some unpopular people, and the future King Maegor, who is known as cruel, is particularly unpopular.

But he is not surprised to say that this is true.

After all, this is not a simple medieval world, but a fantasy place.

…

The two did not say anything else. Renly silently thought about his own things, and the boy seemed absent-minded. The night fell quietly outside. After shaving their heads, the two prepared to go to bed.

The boy was too young, and his thoughts came and went quickly. He snored in the small bed in the corner soon. Renly, who was on the wooden bed on the other side, was not asleep because he was still thinking about something. Not long after, he suddenly heard a pair of soft footsteps approaching slowly outside the room.

He pretended not to notice anything unusual and lay there quietly pretending to sleep.

After a while, Renly felt a line of sight peeking cautiously from the narrow window of this room.
