Chapter 51 Rumors and Secret Passages

Memories of using a large number of musical instruments emerge from my mind one after another, such as flute, ancient harp, harp, violin, tambourine...

It seems that all the musical instruments that can be found in Westeros are not missing at the moment. In addition, there are some scenes of singing in crowded taverns and streets, and some of them do not seem to belong here. Some songs and tunes from the world that he had heard intentionally or unintentionally in his previous life were linked to each other.

This memory is really complex. Sitting beside the dragon skull in the darkness, Renly even felt that his brain was faintly swollen. However, the memory came and went quickly. After it emerged, it began to disappear quickly. Finally, It was merged with his original memory, and it seemed like he had experienced it personally.

Lowering his head and stretching his fingers, Renly felt that he was completely different from before.

But before he could feel all this carefully, his originally stable heartbeat suddenly became faster, and the beating sound was like a drum roaring next to his ears, which was particularly obvious in the silent cellar——

[You have gained the professional characteristic: musical sensitivity]

…

With the rapid heartbeat, there seemed to be a faint tingling and numbness in his ears, but his mind seemed extremely clear at the moment, and his expression was a little dazed, but the changes did not stop because he was not in the state.

Faintly, some noises that were previously inaudible gradually emerged from the surroundings - the sound of mice scratching in the wall, the buzzing of flying insects flapping their wings in the dark, the slight cold wind whistling from a corner and crack in the cellar. Jumping out, and rushing footsteps coming from nowhere...

Feeling all these changes, Renly unconsciously lowered his head and looked at himself.

[Racial Level: LV1]

…

It was as if information that had remained unchanged for thousands of years floated out, and no other "attributes" emerged except this. Renly felt helpless about this.

This "system" on his body is very crude, and it is not that simple to view 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 run to a mirror and look at your face, or look into your own eyes.

Thinking about it, he stood up, took one last look at the empty ground beneath his feet, and then stepped toward the cellar exit.

…

"He's only five years old! Seven Hells, you can fucking lose a five-year-old child? You still have the nerve to tell me that he ran away on his own? Tell me again, how did he run away on his own? ah!?"

There was a commotion in the throne room at this time, and angry curses continued continuously. The voices echoed in the empty hall, appearing loud and full of tremors.

"I should really ask two old ladies with all their teeth to be my guards. Yes, that's what I should do! At least they won't lose my little brother. You? You two are fucking losers. Waste! What else can you do?"

The roar was followed by waves of soft persuasion and the loud collision of stools being kicked open. Some servants passing by outside the hall couldn't help but quicken their steps. Even the two fully armed knights guarding the door swallowed unconsciously. As if he was afraid that the volcano behind him that had been erupting for a long time would affect him.

Lord Robert's young brother Renly suddenly disappeared while wandering around the castle. The two guards who were responsible for protecting him at the time could not give any clues - except for being attacked by a black cat.

…

This incident happened this morning, but it was already midnight, but still no one was found. The Red Fort is huge, but hundreds of people searched it thoroughly, and the result was unexpectedly Found nothing.

The new king, who was about to be crowned, was furious because of this. He sent people to intensify the search again despite constant scoldings. As a result, they even searched the dungeon of the Red Castle, but still no clues were found, except for a laundryman who claimed to have seen him. A child ran towards the maiden residence of the Red Keep.

However, there was no sign of any children at all in the rectangular fortress, and all the surrounding places were searched, including Prime Minister's Tower, Maegor's Tower, White Sword Tower, and the Godswood...

Ser Barristan of the Kingsguard also specifically mentioned the cellar of the Red Keep. He claimed that the boy had been very interested in the dragon bones in the cellar, but he led a team to search but returned with no results.

A living person just disappears. This is very common in the slums of King's Landing, but it is definitely not normal in a royal castle like the Red Keep.

At this time, there were countless nobles, big and small, in King's Landing. With such a big commotion, it was natural that the news could not be concealed, and the gossip spread all over the sky.

People speculated that this was probably an enemy assassin who had infiltrated the Red Keep and kidnapped the child. Some also speculated that the assassin was originally from the Red Keep and officially launched an attack at this time.

Some people with bad intentions secretly claimed that this must be the work of Prince Rhaegar's wife, sons and daughters who died tragically. They were tortured when they died, and now they are about to use the usurper's family to pay a blood debt. Blood payment.

The last guess is still widely circulated among these nobles, because unlike other guesses, this one has "evidence" - it is the black cat.

Two guards were attacked by a black cat, and in the blink of an eye the Baratheon boy disappeared. This order may not seem like much, but many nobles have been frequent visitors and courtiers in the Red Keep during the previous dynasty. Most of them know that Prince Rhaegar’s daughter, a little princess with Dornish blood, once raised a dog named Balerion. black cat.

In folklore, black cats are closely related to mysterious things such as witches and ghosts...

The mysterious remarks frightened many young noble men and women, and some girls even swore to their companions not to wander around the Red Castle to avoid seeing ghosts.

However, when the new news came out, they were quite disappointed-

The little guy named Renly was found, or he ran out on his own initiative, and the location was not somewhere else, but the Red Castle that had been searched several times.

Some people did not believe it, but the fact was that many people could not imagine why there would be a place that could not be found to hide people after searching countless times with great effort.

The angry Robert Baratheon and his courtiers even suspected that the little guy was lying (from the letters with the old maester of Storm's End, Robert had learned that Renly liked to lie), and there might be other hidden secrets.

However, when the person was questioned in the throne room, he swore to deny it and took out the sophistry he had thought of long ago.

"There is a secret passage in this castle. I accidentally touched the switch and fell in, so you can't find me."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the throne room looked at each other in surprise. The kingdom's intelligence chief, the pink-robed eunuch named Varys, narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and then asked softly with curiosity in his eyes.

"So where is the secret passage, child?"

"I forgot where I fell in." Renly turned his head and looked at him with an innocent look on his face.

"But there is a secret passage."
