Chapter 87, Transition
Bran used his mission to convince his illegitimate brother, Arthur, to bring Berry and Soros, and they both promised to bring Bran back to the Wall safely.
Jon Snow, who worries about his brother, but also cares about the Wall, has his own mission and the responsibilities of the Night's Watch!
......
Feel the cold wind blowing in your face, through the snow, and wrapped in the snow.
Horses galloping.
Under Jiujian's guidance, everyone soon saw a huge fish beam in front of the gorgeous sunset.
Under the tree is the cave where the three-eyed crow is.
"Be careful, everyone, there are ghouls hiding in the snow. ”
Knowing that Jiujian would fall in front of the cave, he pulled the truce horse and told everyone to stop, Arthur immediately threw the steel gun in front of the cave.
As he spoke, he drew his sword and enchanted the blade with blazing flames.
Turn on the aura of power and fill everyone around you with power.
"There is a situation!"
Seeing the withered arms emerging from the snow, Berry, who heard Arthur's reminder, also immediately ignited flames on the blade of the sword.
"We should hurry up!"
Bran, Mela, Jiujian, Berry, Soros, Penelope, Selena, and the rest of the Brotherhood Without Flags were horrified at the sight of corpses crawling out of the snow, rotting all over their bodies, or with only bones left.
Know that evil rises.
Knowing the presence of strange ghosts.
But when they really saw it with their own eyes, the three views were refreshed, and it was not so easy for ordinary people to accept.
Hearing Mera's nervous voice, Berry and Soros glanced at each other, clenched the reins and prepared to cooperate.
Arthur, who had been prepared, took out the torch and handed it to the Brotherhood without Flags beside him, saying, "Don't be nervous, the fire can burn them." ”
Hearing this, the Brotherhood Without Flags, as well as Mera and Selena, all took the torches distributed by Arthur.
They hurriedly took out the flint, and the ghouls who crawled out of the snow were already moving their legs that were rotten or boneless, wielding wooden clubs, daggers, stone axes, and other weapons to kill.
"Berry, let's dismount and fight, don't let the ghouls hurt the horses, and you hurry up and light the torches. ”
With the fire sword in hand, there was no need for fancy sword skills, and in the face of the deceased wielding a broken weapon, Arthur cut off the three ghouls in an instant with a sweep.
Listening to the wails of the dead and resurrected ghouls, the members of the Brotherhood Without Flags who lit the torches, as well as Mera, Selena, and others, were reassured.
They are not unkillable!
"Destroying the spine can knock them down, but they will still be mutilated and moved, and only fire can completely destroy them. ”
Killing the resurrected dead like a melon and chopping vegetables, Arthur explains to the people who join the battle with torches.
"Mera, you look at Dian Jiujian, Addo quickly take Bran to the cave. ”
Mera nodded, and quickly pulled her brother to follow Ado, who was leading Bran to the cave.
For the ghouls who fell one by one as they were burned and wailed, there were children of light who wielded the power of the Holy Light, and Penelope didn't worry too much.
But looking at the cave under the huge heart tree, she frowned and said, "Your Highness, in addition to the servants of the evil gods, I also feel the energy of the alien gods. ”
"There are Green Prophets and Sons of the Forest. ”
As soon as Arthur's words fell, several children appeared in the cave.
Penelope: "So the Green Prophet and the Children of the Forest have something to do with the alien gods?"
There weren't many ghouls hiding in front of the cave, and there were only a few of them left in the Brotherhood without Banners, who had combat experience, and the teenagers with the Holy Light.
"It's the Old Gods of Westeros. ”
Calmly letting the ghouls return to death, looking at the four Bran who ran to the cave, and the children of the forest who were watching him, Arthur stopped answering the question.
Scattering the flames on the blade of the long sword, he said to Berry and Soros, "We'd better capture a ghoul alive and bring it back as evidence." ”
"Leave it to me. Selena's sword flew, cutting off the right arm and leg of a ghoul in an instant, and brought the sack and chain that the boy had prepared for her.
The rest can be left to Berry and Selena.
Handing the burning sword to Thoros, Arthur walked to the cave under the fishbeam, showing friendliness and sincerity to the children of the forest standing in front of the cave.
He said, "Hello sons of the forest who sing the earth, I am Arthur Saint Laurain, and I would like to meet the Green Prophet. ”
Bran and Jiujian: they're already inside.
A son of the forest, who was still guarding in front of the cave, heard this, and watched Arthur be silent for a while before turning his gaze to the red-robed priestess and Berry, Thoros and others who had come after cleaning up the ghouls.
After a while, he said to the young man who had come here with good intentions: "You can go in, but they can't." ”
Hearing this, Penelope's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness Arthur, they are servants of the gods, you can't rush in!"
"It's okay, they're the children of the forest, and they won't hurt me. ”
It is best to be able to go in by yourself.
Arthur didn't want Penelope to know that he wanted to learn from the Three-Eyed Raven about the Green Prophet and the Shapeshifters, and even learn magic from the Children of the Forest!
"Sons of the forest?" Hearing Arthur's words and seeing the legendary creatures with his own eyes, Berry, Soros, Selena and the others were still surprised.
The prince wanted to go into the cave alone with the legendary creature, and after seeing the dangerous ghouls, Berry quickly shook his head and said, "No, Your Highness, what should you do if you are in danger of going in alone?"
"Alien gods cannot be trusted easily. The red-robed monk Soros also said.
Arthur was a little speechless, his eyes rolled, his expression became serious, and he said to Berry and Soros: "Ghouls cannot be brought into the cave, and this place will soon be surrounded by strangers leading the dead.
Therefore, you must immediately bring back the captured ghouls to prove that the strange ghosts are about to go south, and I am the prince and have the right to command you!"
If it were Emperor Robert, there really would be no one against him.
Arthur wanted to learn but couldn't, because Berry had orders from Robert and Ed to ensure his safety: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I only obey Your Majesty and the Prime Minister. ”
"And we're also going to keep Brandon Stark safe. ”
Arthur: "No, Bran will stay here to study, the three-eyed raven inside is the Duke of Blood Raven, Brindon River, I am not in danger of going to see him, and the children of the forest are also enemies of the strangers, and they will not harm me." ”
The name Brynden Rivers is unknown to no one in Westeros, and even Soros from Mill knows the legend of the suppression of the Blackfire Rebellion.
Berry, Selena and other Westeros people basically grew up listening to the legend of Duke Bloodraven.
Their eyes widened in surprise when they heard this.
The ghouls and the children of the forest are far away, and even if they see them with their own eyes, no matter how surprised they are, the former is in danger of life and death, and the latter is not very hostile and does not pay much attention to people.
But Brindon Hewen is different.
Because he's a man!
Lived for more than a hundred years!
"Don't be so surprised, Maester Aemon, the Night's Watchman, whose real name is Emonn Dorag, knows about the Three-Eyed Raven, so I really won't be in danger, and you must go back with the ghouls. ”
Seeing another ghoul staggering out, Arthur didn't have time to give Berry any more nonsense, and immediately blessed everyone with a buff, and also blessed the war horse with speed.
"Get on your horse, the ghouls are going to surround us!"
Berry: "But you?"
"I don't need you to worry, hurry up and take the ghouls back, this is an order!" Arthur's attitude was extremely resolute, and he pushed the man Berry directly on the horse.
Then a whip was struck, and the horse ran wildly.
Arthur: "I'll be sure to get back before the wildlings attack the Wall!"
Seeing the leader mounted his horse and rushed towards the surrounding ghouls, everyone in the Brotherhood Without Banners looked at each other.
When Soros heard the prince's oath, he hesitated and turned on his horse, leading people to wave weapons and hold torches and chase after Berry.
Selena and Penelope remained motionless.
Didn't keep up with the Brotherhood without Flags.
Arthur: "Why don't you go?"
"I promised Anne that I would take you back safely. Selena said with a resolute face, and didn't give a second glance at Berry and Soros, who were about to leave with their fire swords and rushing to the pile of ghouls.
Penelope: "I can't let you be seduced by a god. ”
"But you can't go in. Arthur frowned, "Do you want to stay here and be cold?"
Selena patted the war horse beside her: "Have you forgotten how well prepared we are?"
Yes, just in case, the boy specially asked her to bring three horses, and prepare a tent and clothes, quilts and jerky.
