Chapter 51: Black Castle
After Anse's departure, Lin Yi ignored the turmoil and strife in the south.
With the part of the "prophecy" he told Arya, and an additional cross-century weapon, if the northern realm of this world still walked back to the original plot, then Lin Yi would be useless even if he did more.
Leaving the tavern, Lin Yi walked in this "last fireplace city".
The city was the home of the Amber family, and was lorded by Jon Amber, known as "Great Jon", who was one of Robb's loyal supporters.
His son, also known as Jon Amber, is known as "Little Jon" and is currently the personal bodyguard of Robb, King of the North.
This city is closer to the Wall of Despair than Winterfell, and it is the northernmost castle in Westeros outside of the Great Wall Fortress, close to the Sue River and the New Grant.
The Amber family has always been a strong supporter of the Stark family, but Lin Yi did not let Anse inform the acting city lord here, because of the remaining troops here, and they also had to defend against the many wild people smuggled from Seal Bay.
As the eternal guest of the Stark family, Lin Yi was certainly entitled to receive preferential treatment in this city, but he did not intend to meet the acting city lord who stayed here.
He had heard that the Amber family still had some of the vices of the old century, and even today, some members of the Amber family still fulfilled the lord's right to the first night.
The next day, Lin Yi left the last Hearthplace City.
From here, you can go north along the Mole River to the Mole Village, where not only everyone knows how to get to the Black Castle, but there will also be many young crows running from the Black Castle, so you don't have to worry about finding the Black Castle.
Walking on the road, Lin Yi put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
When Lin Yi's palm touched the [Monarch Slayer] on his waist, an inexplicable force poured out from the hilt of the sword, as if it were blended into Lin Yi's original strength.
His own strength is increased by the equipment and is increased in an instant.
The feeling of this surge in power is simply too intoxicating.
Anser left, and the power that Lin Yi had been holding back for so many days could finally be vented.
He came to the dense woods on the north bank of the Mojiang River in a few leaps, and pulled out the [Monarch Killer] to perform it to his heart's content.
For a time, the sword light in the forest was vertical and horizontal, the trees fell and the birds flew, and the loud noises continued.
Ten minutes later, Lin Yi walked out of the forest with a smile on his face, leaving only a mess like a meteorite falling to the ground.
Lin Yi shook his right hand, feeling the power that belonged to him.
In the past, because the personal panel had not been unlocked, Lin Yi could not see his specific attributes.
But now, he could probably feel his true power attributes.
In the venting just now, Lin Yi could clearly feel that the 15 points of power that the [Monarch Killer] blessed him were at least one-fifth of his original strength.
This means that his strength attribute is probably between 75-80 points.
But Lin Yi couldn't be sure about the physical attack, after all, this thing was not easy to describe, and he could only feel it vaguely.
In the case of a sword, for example, a physical attack is a combination of destructive power and sharpness.
The physical attack carried by Lin Yi himself must be the destructive power added to the strength attribute, and the increase in equipment like [Monarch Slayer] is probably sharpness.
Of course, as a giant sword, the [Monarch Slayer]'s physical attack will naturally carry some destructive power caused by its own weight, which is beyond doubt.
Familiar with the surge of power, Lin Yi hurried back to his journey with satisfaction.
Without Anse, Lin Yi could use his skills to rush again, and this time with the MP bonus of [Monarch Slayer], his durability has also increased a lot.
As a result, there was a blue phantom on the north bank of the Mojiang River.
……
……
After a day's journey, Lin Yi has arrived at the intersection of the Mojiang River and the King's Road, and then he only needs to walk north along the King's Road to reach the Black Castle.
When you get here, even if you are as crazy as Lin Yi, you can't go wrong - there is only one way to the north from here.
After the end of the river, the King's Road narrowed and narrowed, until now only about the width of a horse-drawn carriage remained.
It was surrounded by a dense forest, full of oaks and evergreens, and there were a few wolf howls coming from the forest.
The road continuing north is less like a gateway to the Black Castle and more like a trip deeper into the Dark Forest, into the mouth of a giant monster, the Black Hole.
Of course, this is for people who are in a hurry on the road.
Lin Yi usually walks on the top of the tree.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried horses' hooves came, Lin Yi frowned slightly, and stopped at the top of the tall oak tree.
"These kings know how to worry about them, and if you want me to say it, you'll have to put a few damn things over the wall and go south to scare them!"
"It's a pity that we only left a ghoul hand, and we were taken to King's Landing by Thorne."
"Yes, there are so many kings in the south now, at least one person has to send one."
"Don't be stupid, once that kind of thing becomes more numerous, the first one to die is our brother."
Two black-clad knights sped down the road, leaving only a few faint words of conversation.
Lin Yi fell from the top of the tree with a somersault and looked thoughtfully at the backs of the two.
This is probably the Night's Watch sent to the south to ask for help—they only had to go to King's Landing to ask for help, but now there are so many kings in the south that the Night's Watch has to send a little bit of each house.
And the two black-clothed brothers have obviously just set off, so the black castle may not be far away.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi's feet moved.
Out of the Black Forest, the hills in the distance gradually steepened and turned into mountains, looking like giants carrying Chen Xue and Black Rock from a distance.
After walking for another half a day, about before evening, Lin Yi finally saw traces of human beings in the snow and black mountains.
It was a tall wooden gate with iron rivets, and on either side of the gate were walls carved out of black rock.
The walls are unified, but not very tall, and there are several wooden ladders piled up in the corners.
When he saw this city gate, Lin Yi knew that the city builders had definitely not considered the enemy's attack from the south.
Lin Yi took off his mask, put one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and slowly walked towards the Black Castle.
Before he could get closer, the night watchman on the wall saw him.
It was a one-armed man, and Commander-in-Chief Mormont had taken all the young men with him, and all that was left in Castle Black was a bunch of old and sick people.
Lin Yi saw from a distance that the one-armed strong man on the city wall raised his hand, and the tall city gate suddenly moved.
When Lin Yi approached the Black Castle, the one-armed man looked at his handsome and exotic face in surprise.
"Where did you come from, pretty boy." He asked with a smile.
Having said that, no night watchman would think that it was an enemy coming from the south, and even if Lin Yi hadn't replied, the city gate still slowly opened for a leaf.
"My name is Yi Lin."
Lin Yi pulled out the [Monarch Slayer] on his waist, and then held it up so that he could see the lion head carving on the hilt of the sword.
"Your Majesty Robb should have sent a letter from the crow to identify me. Brother in black upstairs, please take me to Maester Amon. ”
"You are Master Yi?" The one-armed man was shocked when he heard this, "The swordsman who defeated the monarch killer? ”
"Looks like you know me."
Lin Yi smiled.
"That's a lot easier......"
