Chapter 165 Hiding and Being Surrounded

"Good luck."

…

The patient's dull "words" were followed by panic. Renly, who was touching his left wrist while rushing to the roadside, frowned at this moment.

His original idea was to experiment with the effects of ancient Tao seeds in different people's bodies, and to see if they had special effects on dying people, but he didn't want to do such an experiment and find a guy following him?

"And there are some special means..."

After pondering, Renly continued walking without turning his head to look, but the direction he was heading had unknowingly changed.

After passing by a group of old fishermen who were handling their catch on the street, he took advantage of the cover of these people and quickly ran into an alley on the side. He used his dagger (got on the road) to poke the wall as a stepping stone and jumped over. The alley came to another narrow path.

After a series of deft and decisive actions, Renly did not leave completely. Instead, he lay down inside the wall and stared at the road outside the alley.

An old fisherman with gray hair and a tall body passed by, an old woman with a stooped figure passed by, and another fisherman passed by in a hurry...

At this time, the residents of Pebble Town except for the elderly are children. Regardless of the children, the elderly are basically the ones who are old or have difficulty moving. Anyone who is slightly younger cannot be seen at all, because they have been recruited by the local lord. There was a war.

And this also makes Renly's observation very clear -

Although he couldn't really see it, he could understand from the patient's thoughts that the person following him was a woman wearing a cloak and with sharp eyes.

This kind of person seems to be eye-catching enough even in a normal environment, let alone the current Pebble Town.

Unfortunately, after observing for a long time, he didn't see anyone with such characteristics passing by the street, which made Renly feel puzzled.

The man seemed to understand that he wanted to go to the lord's castle here and not elsewhere.

But the street in front is basically the most convenient route to get there. Normally, even if she wants to be more concealed in following her, she can't just let this street go and go somewhere else, right?

The roads in this broken town are complicated, and if you wander around a few times, you might get lost...

Seeing that no special person was passing by, Renly couldn't help but touch his wrist and feel it. He also didn't learn from the patient that the person appeared again, so he simply stopped wasting this time, turned around, jumped off the wall, and headed towards this place. Walk outside the alley.

He didn't see that person, but Renly thought that he was out of sight of the other party. It would probably not be easy for him to find him again. But unless I give up the idea of ​​going to the lord's castle here, I'm afraid...

There were a lot of thoughts in his mind. On the surface, Renly didn't know which side of the town he had turned to. He didn't ask passers-by. Instead, he just walked casually through the streets or alleys, and finally looked up. At first glance, he found that he had unknowingly left the main part of the town and came to the edge. This made him think about it for a while, and then suddenly decided to give up this opportunity and not take the boat.

But, who is following behind him?

King Balon of the Iron Islands is no longer searching for him, and besides that person, who else could be interested in him?

Some drowned people aware of their existence?

But there are no women among the Drowned People...

Thinking about it, he looked up at the sky and found that it was already late, so he climbed the wall and ran into an uninhabited house nearby.

At present, a large number of people in the Iron Islands have gone to fight in the war, so there are countless vacant houses. Renly doesn't even know where he is at this time, but he doesn't think others can come to him.

The mud house is simple and simple, with a thatched roof and a fenced yard. There are several abandoned fishing nets and dried fish meat in the yard. The door of the wooden house is locked, and there are even industrious spiders weaving webs in the corners of the door. , but there is a window boarded up on the side of the house.

After struggling to open the wooden plank with a dagger, Renly climbed in through the narrow window. What he saw was similar to the fishing village house he lived in before. They were just as shabby and there was no food to speak of.

But he ran in just to find a safe haven. He was going to leave here early tomorrow morning, so he didn't care much.

There were some trivial noises on the window behind him, and then his calf was scratched a few times by a soft object. It was the black cat proving its existence, but Renly didn't pay much attention to it, and casually wiped the black cat just now. With a piece of dried fish meat found in the yard still at his feet, he walked to the simple bed in the corner of the house and sat on it.

Then he continued to touch his wrist.

There were three seeds spread at this time, one was the original source Balon Greyjoy, the other was the octopus in the sea, and the last one was the previous patient.

Balon Greyjoy was currently living deep in the castle on Pyke Island, constantly using ravens to communicate with the islands about the war. The octopus had nothing to care about all day long except wandering around.

Renly paid special attention to the last patient at this time, and he found that the current patient's mind was not affected by the ancient way, or that he was only affected by some fighting spirit that was unwilling to die, rather than other thoughts of burning, killing and looting. .

Think about it, this is normal. A person who is almost dead and cannot even guarantee his own life has time to think about those "useless" things?

But maybe this fighting spirit is also one of the components of the ancient road. Maybe this fighting spirit itself has restored the patient's physical functions. As he observed, Renly found that the other party's mind was becoming more active at this time, and he was not as decadent and desperate as at the beginning. At the same time, it might be the patient's illusion, or it might be true. The patient seemed to think that his weak body was slowly recovering some... vitality?

Renly couldn't be sure whether this was the feedback of the ancient road and was improved, because except for the original ancient road at the beginning, he didn't find any other ancient road seeds with "spirituality".

However, it is certain that this thing can make the dying person rejuvenate some spiritual vitality...

After the experiment confirmed this, he stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes, and observed the surroundings with his sensitive hearing, and gradually entered a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness-

This is a new habit he has developed during this period of time.

The breeze hit the wall, the waves were faintly audible, the insects chirped, the dogs barked, the chickens crowed, the mice squeaked...

Until a night passed quickly, and a new sound disrupted the quiet and deserted everything, and also woke Renly up instantly.

He heard the footsteps of a group of people, and they seemed to have a clear goal, which was the house he was in.

The original owner of the house is back?

This thought flashed through his mind, and Renly frowned, then quickly got up and climbed out through the narrow window, ready to slip away as soon as possible.

But he didn't expect that he would be discovered as soon as he climbed out of the window, and then he heard a shout that seemed very excited.

"Son of the Drowned God! He's here, yes, it's him, I see him again!"

The voice sounded familiar, and Renly's first thought was this. He turned his head and saw a group of Drowned people running towards him, and the tall shouter who made him feel familiar-Aeren Greyjoy.

The iron leader who kidnapped him and Maegor.
