39. The legend of the stranger

The early morning ice slag is hiding in the grass, and when the sun rises, it turns into a cold air that reverberates in the fields.

So, in the early morning of winter, even King's Landing is full of cold. Some soldiers who couldn't survive passed away forever in the fields and on the city walls.

Fortunately, Li Kuan cut down enough wood before coming to King's Landing, and the overnight bonfire was not extinguished, so that the people who did not belong to the system survived this cold night.

After a long night, the campfire became a stove for cooking. The long smoke of the cooking was accompanied by the meals made by the elves, and for the soldiers guarding the walls, the temptation was probably just that.

After breakfast, it's time for the construction work. The stones were brought back from the coast and given to the fanatics to make boulders, and not only the weary zealots made the boulders into walls.

In just half a day, the outline of a city wall no smaller than King's Landing had been built.

The old Lannister King's hand lay on King's Landing, looking at the unreasonably fast pace of construction, looking at his titular youngest son and asking, "What does this mean?" ”

Tignan, the little devil, took a bunch of grapes and ate the sparkling fruit as he said, "I don't know, the palace or the city?" His mind couldn't make predictions.

In terms of size, it is no smaller than King's Landing. Of course, it could be bigger. ”

"Wouldn't it be better to take King's Landing directly?" Old Lannister said with a twitch in the corner of his eye.

Certainly a better option, but ......

Tignon spat out the grape seed and shrugged, "Oath." ”

Those who have not sworn to the Light will never know what that means, and it is not something that can be reversed at any time.

So? Old Lannister waited for a long time without an answer.

On the other side, Ned Stark was training with two spearmen. Because the strength of the spearmen is okay, the wolf king of the north has been in a state of suppression, and in a negligent situation, the wolf king of the north was picked up and knocked to the ground.

Milk DeStark, who had rolled over and climbed up, gasped twice, picked up the long sword, and said, "One more time, I can still fight for a few more rounds." ”

The dancing sword flower was just as he said, and it could come back for a few more rounds.

But Li Kuan, who was sitting at the table next to him, waved his hand to stop Ned Stark from continuing to train.

In the sky, an eagle fell from the sky, grabbed the table in front of Li Kuan and chirped twice.

After removing the letter from its lap, Li Kuan looked twice and said, "News from the Great Wall of the North, a letter from Snow Jones. ”

"Snow's letter?" Silly Bai Tian, who was sitting at the table with Li Kuan's left hand, asked in a low voice. "How is he doing on the Wall?"

Li Kuan handed the silly white sweet letter and said, "It's progressing well, I've been in contact with the Night's Watch Legion, and I've found Bunyan Stark, looking for the whereabouts of the stranger." In comparison, progress here is significantly behind. ”

Hearing the news of his younger brother and nephew, Ned Stark didn't have the heart to continue practicing martial arts, put away his long sword, he walked to his eldest daughter's side, took the letter and read it carefully.

Then he stroked his thick beard, thinking about something.

Li Kuan seemed to have guessed something, and gently tapped on the tabletop, and after half a ring, Ned Stark put down the letter, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Kuan, glanced at Li Yue's eyes and asked, "From my observations in recent days, I don't think that the establishment of a three-legged situation by His Majesty is just a whim, or that we were deliberately chosen to come out and let us kill each other."

But I don't see the intention of the three-legged crown, and I don't know what the fate of the loser is.

As you choose, one of these three people is my son (nephew). In the future confrontation, I don't know how to choose the right one.

Kill him and become the king of this world. Or killed by him. Either way, it wasn't what I wanted, so I was lost. ”

Li Kuan listened to Ned Stark's words, nodded in understanding, and then said with a smile, "To be precise, the three candidates are all related to each other, and the fight between you is equivalent to a bloodline massacre. ”

Ned Stark heard Li Kuan's words, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally twice, he couldn't believe that the Holy Light he surrendered to was such a wicked person.

He was about to ask Li Kuan about his plans, but he found that he was looking at him with a smile, and Ned Stark closed his mouth in amusement.

I only heard Li Kuan continue, "I mentioned before that the belief in the Holy Light spreads across the diverse universe. ”

"Yes." Ned Stark nodded and replied, Li Kuan did say so. It is because of this that the reason of 'faith is immortal, it is immortal' that makes Ned Stark not choose to kill gods, but to surrender.

Li Kuan stood up and continued, "As we know, there are countless strange things in the universe. Gods are just one of them.

The most precious and incredible things we call cosmic consciousness, rules, laws. This is something that only a very small number of worlds produce (mid-plane).

It controls the attitudes of sentient beings, their joys, sorrows, and sorrows. ”

"So what we're doing now is as expected?"

"Not exactly, some world consciousness is in a state of slumber, and some of the consciousness is in a state of wake.

However, there is no doubt that the world consciousness in the waking state is more difficult to deal with, especially the crazy world consciousness.

They inflict all kinds of terrible disasters on their own world, such as world-destroying plagues, floods, earthquakes, and so on.

On the contrary, the sleeping will of the world will evolve according to its own rules, and for the 'invaders', the world consciousness will choose several powerful creatures or races to transform, so that they can cleanse the world and finally achieve the effect. Li Kuan said according to the explanation given by the system, "Just like this world, it is a sleeping world consciousness, this is for sure, I did not feel the world consciousness activity." ”

"So the world consciousness will create a powerful opponent, a god of the same level as you, to confront and destroy you?" Ned Stark asked cautiously. "That's why you want to preemptively choose multiple spokespeople to take the lead?"

Li Kuan couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said, "No, the Holy Light Faith is higher than this world, so for it, I am not an intruder.

Instead, you are the invaders of this worldβ€”the human race! ”

But how is this possible! Human beings have lived here for thousands of years, and they should belong to this world, and they should be invaders compared to the 'Holy Light' who has just come to this world.

Li Kuan looked at Ned Stark's changing face, and then said, "Aborigines, probably you have forgotten too. According to the history of this world, they are the darlings of nature, forced to the deepest part of the forest by humans, and for them, you are the invaders who have invaded their homeland.

In desperation, they conformed to the consciousness of the world, and used the 'Dragon Crystal' obsidian to create the most terrifying race, trying to use this race to carry out an 'extermination' slaughter of human beings......"

Ned Stark listened in silence, and then continued with Li Kuan's words, "...... But they never imagined that after this race slaughtered humans, it did not stop, but aimed the butcher's knife at them, who were once natives.

Forced into desperation, they allied themselves with the humans to resist the monsters they had created and banished them to the north.

and used magic to build a white ice wall to block their invasion.

This is...... The Legend of the Stranger ......"
