Chapter 158: The End
Chapter 158
Ancient China paid attention to the gift of treasures to heroes. There are not many people in this world who can be called heroes. But there are still quite a few people who can be worthy of a Valyrian steel sword. Because of Su Yuan's inconvenience, the process of the whole story was greatly advanced. Many people did not experience the path of salvation in the original books. But they are about to experience the salvation of the entire human race.
And some of the problems brought about by the acceleration of the plot are that many of Su Yuan's ideas have not been implemented in a hurry. For example, across the sea, Valantis, one of the best-preserved colonies of the Fortress of Liberty. According to the statistics of some scholars in this world, Valantis and other places that were once colonized by Valyria have at least 1,700 Valyrian swords. Even the legendary Valyrian armor has hundreds of them.
But time was too short, and Su Yuan didn't have time to plan everything on the other side of the sea. Giving Daenerys a wake-up call and changing favors is already his best effort.
After leaving Brienne's place, Su Yuan returned to the castle. Then I went straight to Bran's room. The little boy was sitting at the head of the bed waiting for him.
"Sir Grant."
"How does it feel, Bran?"
Ever since that night, Su Yuan felt that he was being spied on, and with the help of the divine power of the King of Light on the long sword, he frightened the other party. Bran came out of his coma. It was only then that everyone realized that the reason why Bran was unconscious was not because of his injury, but because he was trapped in a strange dream. Of course, this kind of thing is impossible to make public, only Su Yuan and his family know. Neither Ned nor Caitlyn could accept this statement, and only Su Yuan knew that what he said was true.
In his dream, he met an old man who took him through the long river of history and witnessed the secrets of countless histories. He even saw his father's duel with Sir Dain, and learned the truth of the matter, as well as Jon Snow's true identity. The old man kept guiding him, and at the end asked him to try to trace Su Yuan's past. But that time, he was awakened. In the dream, the old man was startled back by a sudden burst of flames. It never appeared again, and Bran himself came to his senses.
"No, I didn't keep dreaming. He's gone. There was some loss in Bran's words. Little boys are always filled with a strong curiosity about this mysterious adventure. Those secrets are enough for an adult to immerse themselves in, let alone a little boy. And the Three-Eyed Raven couldn't have done nothing, and Bran later became as if he had lost his feelings, and it was obvious that he had his handiwork. It can even be said that Bran is no longer Bran. A god chooses you to inherit everything from it? Wake up, the things in the dream can't be real.
"Why, reluctant to take those fantastical adventures?"
"I just...... I don't know what to say, it's a strange feeling. ”
"Feel like you're in control?"
"Almost."
"Believe me, it's just an illusion. No one can control everything, I can't, you can't, neither can the three-eyed crow. ”
"You know him?"
"Of course, I also knew that he was the one who let you spy on me that day, right?"
"Yes, but for some reason, I don't see your past. I can see anyone's past. ”
"Anyone? Can you see Melisandre's past? ”
"...... she's a sacrifice to the Red God."
"That's right."
"Are you also a sacrifice to some god? Does that mean that I too will be a sacrifice to the Three-Eyed Raven? Bran suddenly understood something.
"No, it's not the same topic. We are oracles, but you are different. Bran, the Three-Eyed Raven wants you to be him. The bloodline of the Stark family is inextricably linked to the Three-Eyed Crow. In your generation, it is only fitting that a new three-eyed crow is born. ”
"That's why I. I'm willing to be a three-eyed crow. ”
"Hehe, don't talk so much, Bran. Nothing comes without a price. Do you know what it costs to become a three-eyed crow? ”
Bran was stunned for a moment. He's not stupid, and he's actually felt something during this time. In the process of roaming time, I seem to be gradually losing something. It's just that he can't accurately express what he has lost.
"Am I going to die?"
"No, you will live, live a long time. But you're going to be different. You'll be able to remember everything. But you will lose the emotion of facing these things. You are not loving your father, mother, brother, sister, brother. You will be a person who doesn't care about anything. ”
Su Yuan's words made Bran stunned for a moment. In the process of roaming time, he has experienced much more than the average peer. So mentally more mature. He understood what Su Yuan meant. If you become a three-eyed crow, you are not yourself.
"Think about it, Bran. I'll be back in a few days and let me know your decision when the time comes. ”
……………..
Readiness continues. But the situation has become increasingly tense. In the last few days, many wild people have rushed back from the Great Wall of Desperation. According to them, the ghoul legions can already be seen under the Wall. Although they did not attack immediately, it seemed that they were waiting for something. But that kind of huge pressure has made the defending savages almost crazy.
"How's our preparation?"
"Done everything it could. His Majesty Stannis has personally arrived, ready to lead his troops into battle. At present, the entire northern territory has accumulated more than 200,000 troops. All soldiers are equipped with dragon crystal weapons. ”
"What about wildfires? How's the production going? ”
"There's never enough of that. We've done our best in production. But at the moment there are only about a thousand barrels. ”
Just when Su Yuan and Ned were discussing the matter of the strategic reserve. A trumpet sounded in the ears of the two of them. Their faces changed dramatically at the same time, and they rushed out of the room, standing on the city wall, looking north.
At such a distance, it is impossible to really see it. But the whole of Winterfell was already in a state of chaos. I saw that countless people in and outside the city had already run out and looked into the distance.
"That's ......," Nade's tone trembled.
"You can't be wrong, it's definitely the sound of the Winter Trumpet. The Great Wall may have broken. Are the wildlings ready to retreat? ”
"I was going to stick to it from the beginning. Their presence is only a vigilance. ”
"That's good. Blow our horns. ”
A desolate howl rang out in the north. Three horns, this ancient legend, finally sounded in the north. The entire northern realm suddenly entered an unprecedented state of solemnity.
Winter has arrived.
