Chapter 7: I Am a Membrane Mage (1st Update)
Ghouls are dead people or other dead creatures that have been resurrected by a ghost. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
If a corpse is not incinerated in time, the Wraiths can be resurrected by some cold-related method when they come into contact with them, and the resurrected ghouls are completely at the mercy of the Wraith's intelligence.
Just getting close to the ghouls can feel the chill that comes with them.
The appearance of a ghoul depends on the state of the corpse when it is resurrected.
Some are about the same as living creatures, while others are almost decomposed - although the process of decay ends when the corpse is resurrected as a ghoul. All ghouls have glowing blue eyes, so they are easy to identify.
Presumably, ghouls are drawn to the warmth of flesh and attack living creatures with terrifying strength and ruthlessness.
Ghouls do not feel pain, nor do they affect their attack effectiveness due to injuries. Although they can be rendered ineffective by being completely shattered, their detached bodies can continue to move; When the ghoul is completely destroyed, the blue in its eyes disappears.
As for the only way to eliminate ghouls, and that is flame, corpses are very flammable after turning into ghouls, and once ignited, they will burn out in a very short time.
"Wait?! Trick us?! Hearing Ye Siyu's answer, Ban Yang and the others stiffened, especially those who were younger and had a bad temper of the night watchman, who held their long swords tightly and pointed at Ye Siyu, they all thought that Ye Siyu was playing tricks on them.
"Your Excellency!" Seeing this, Will's face instantly turned pale.
"Give me all peace! Can you tell us what you're waiting for? Unlike the other night watchmen, Ban Yang loudly scolded the noisy young night watchman, and then stared at Ye Siyu tightly with his gray-blue eyes and asked.
Although he was also confused by Ye Siyu's answer, he could see that Ye Siyu was very calm, as calm as a male lion surrounded by a group of lambs, and he was not worried about his night watchman at all.
"Wait for them to 'resurrect.'" Hearing Ban Yang's question, Ye Siyu pointed to the two corpses that had been carried down and placed aside, especially when it came to resurrection, he also accentuated his tone.
"What?!" The expressions of everyone including Ban Yang changed slightly, he didn't know why Ye Siyu would say such sensational words, and in an instant, everyone focused their attention on the two corpses.
It's just that the corpse is still a corpse, lying there quietly, without any movement, which makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
"What's the noise?" At this moment, an old but very deep voice came from the nearby command tower, and then a shaggy gray beard was about to hang down to his chest, and a bald old man in his seventies walked out of it.
"Old Xiong!"
"Commander-in-Chief!"
Seeing the old man, Ban Yang and the others immediately shouted respectfully.
Hearing Ban Yang and the others call the old man, Ye Siyu squinted his eyes, if there is no mistake, this old man is the current commander-in-chief of the Night Watch, known as Jeo Mormont of Bear Heart.
He was the 997th Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch Legion, Commander-in-Chief and Supreme Commander of Castle Black.
Previously the patriarch of House Mormont and ruler of Bear Island, Geo chose to join the Night's Watch in order to cede his position to his son, Count Jorah Mormont.
He was also a wise old man, and Geo Mormont was deeply troubled by the weakening of the Night's Watch and the growing theory that the Wildlings were about to cross the Great Wall.
He abandoned the regular patrol rule set by his predecessor, Commander-in-Chief Cogle, and replaced it with a more casual system that made it difficult for the wildlings to find out when the patrol guards left or stood guard, and sometimes the bear elder would have the patrol guard watch over the abandoned castle for two weeks.
Although Xiong Lao was very old, it could be seen from his cloudy eyes that flashed with wisdom from time to time, his steady legs and straight waist that he was not an ordinary old man.
"What's going on?" Xiong Lao glanced at the unfamiliar Ye Siyu and then looked at Ban Yang and asked.
"That's the ......" Hearing Xiong Lao's question, Ban Yang immediately stepped forward to explain what had happened.
"Strange ghosts? Resurrection? Listening to Ban Yang's explanation, Old Xiong's eyes shrank, he thought of an ancient legend, as an old man, in addition to managing the night watchman, his favorite thing to do is to read some ancient classics in the library, which happened to have seen some similar records, thinking of this, Old Xiong immediately looked at Ye Siyu and asked, "Who are you?!" ”
"I'm a mage from the Eastern Continent." Ye Siyu said with a smile on his face, and at the same time got down from the horse and saluted under the nervous gaze of many night watchmen.
"Magician?" Hearing Ye Siyu's self-introduction, many people showed a look of ridicule on their faces.
Once upon a time, Westeros was uninhabited by humans, and its natives were a group of small, mysterious, magically gifted sons of the forest, giants, and other supernatural creatures.
Westeros is not an isolated island, but is connected to the continent of Essos at Dorne, and the connection is called the Arm of Dorne.
12,000 years before Aegon landed, a group of humans arrived in Westeros from the Arms of Dorne, bringing weapons and horses. In order to prevent more humans from invading the land, the Children of the Forest used magic to swallow the Arms of Dorne, forming the Stone Steps Islands today, but the Children of the Forest were unable to resist the attacks of the larger and larger humans.
Humans quickly conquered the continent, but they were harassed by the Children of the Forest, and around 10,000 years after Aegon landed, they signed a peace oath with them, and the Humans owned the land and coast, and the Children of the Forest owned the forest, and these humans were called the Ancestors, and this period of history is known as the Age of the Dawn.
The oath of the two clans brought prosperity and peace for nearly 2,000 years, until the long winter of growing up that spanned a generation about 8,000 years after Aegon landed, the strangers invaded from the land of eternal winter in the north, killing everything they came across.
This long tragedy ended in a battle known as the Battle of the Dawn, in which the Ancestors and the Children of the Forest, led by a hero known as Azar Ahai and the sword-wielding Lightbringer, drove the strangers back to the Land of Eternal Winter with weapons made of dragon crystals.
After defeating the Wraiths, Brandon the "City Builder" built the Great Wall of Despair with the help of his ancestors, giants, and sons of the forest, and it is said that the contractor also founded Winterfell, becoming the ancestor of the Stark family, who has guarded the northern frontier for generations.
At this time, the Night Watch was also established, and this period of history is known as the Age of Heroes.
