Chapter 19: Winterfell
The tunnel of the Desperate Wall opened, and several Night's Watch hurried inside. But Lin Xuan stopped at the door. He felt some powerful magic working on him. The magic on the Great Wall of Desperation is clearly used against the Aliens, and perhaps other magical creatures. But for Lin Xuan, he was a human being, but he also had magic, so it naturally caused a reaction from defensive magic.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan hid his magical aura. This is the rune technology from the previous world. The technology that the Black Witch developed to conceal her magic in order to evade her pursuit. Lin Xuan himself was not a magical creature, his magic was all obtained through cultivation and could be perfectly controlled. So after he disguised all the defensive and warning magic on his body. Suddenly, I felt that invisible pressure slowly disappearing.
On the other hand, magical creatures like aliens have no choice. The Aliens, in particular, have their entire bodies sustained by magic, so they can't hide it no matter what.
The entire tunnel is nearly 100 meters long, and in the dim tunnel, a few torches are sparsely lit, barely maintaining a visible light.
After walking through the tunnel, a group of night watchmen were waiting for them. Leading the way is none other than the current commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, Jeo. Mormont.
"Stephen, do you know what the message you send back means? If you can't produce evidence today, you will be sent to the gallows. ”
"Of course, Your Excellency. I brought back not only the evidence, but also the witnesses. With that, Stephen threw the package in his hand to the ground. A human head with a contorted face rolled out.
"A human head?"
"A human head that bites." However, the next second, Stephen's words suddenly stopped. I saw that the human head on the ground was motionless, completely lacking the hideous aggression of before.
"What's going on? Master Mage. He looked at Lin Xuan for help.
Lin Xuan figured out what was going on after a little thought. The Night King withdrew the power within the living corpse. It can be said that this opportunity has created a contradiction within the night watch. At the same time, it also delays the time for the world to know about their return to a certain extent.
"The dark power in his body was withdrawn, so he lost his properties as a living corpse." Lin Xuan explained. He knew he couldn't get the word out about it.
"Who are you?" Commander-in-Chief Mormont set his eyes on Lin Xuan.
"Lin Xuan, this is the name of a place in the far east. I'm a traveling magician. "North of the Great Wall of Desperation, along with these Night's Watchmen, traces of strange spirits have been discovered." Lin Xuan, who had read the original book, still respected the old commander very much, so he answered his question carefully.
"I've seen a lot of people who claim to be magicians, but in the end they all prove to be just tricksters. You look more like a savage gap. ”
"Sir Elisha, we have seen this with our own eyes that Mr. Lin is a powerful mage."
"You mean he played tricks in front of you?"
"Stephen, I'm grateful for telling me the truth. But I have known for a long time that respect is always earned through earning. Sir Elisha, I am annoyed by your words, so you better not speak in the future. ”
"I ......," Elisha subconsciously wanted to retort. But then I realized that something was wrong. My mouth felt very uncomfortable. However, this scene is quite terrifying in the eyes of everyone. I saw that Elisha's mouth was ...... 'healing'. Yes, it's healing. His mouth grew together on its own, and then completely fused without the slightest gap, as if he didn't have a mouth in the first place.
"This ......" Even the well-informed Commander-in-Chief Mormont was stunned by the scene in front of him. But it soon dawned on him that this was a real magician, not one of the tricksters he had seen before. Commander-in-Chief Mormont was sensible and did not intercede with Sir Elisha, and in this situation, it would be possible to cause a deeper misunderstanding.
"This mage, we can provide you with shelter and food. Then we can talk more about what you've seen. ”
Lin Xuan thought for a moment and accepted Mormon's kindness.
"Of course, I need to make some additions."
The food of the night watchman can be imagined, at least Lin Xuan is completely unbearable. Moreover, this is still the commander-in-chief's extra meal for guests, and I don't know how terrible the food they usually eat. In desperation, Lin Xuan still took out the food he had prepared and paid attention to it under the strange eyes of everyone.
After the meal, Commander-in-Chief Mormont had a secret conversation with Lin Xuan.
"Are they really back?"
"To be exact, they should be ready to return. They have already begun to assemble their armies. ”
"The Great Wall of Desperation can withstand them." Commander-in-Chief Mormont uttered this in a tone of inadequacy.
"It's just theoretical, they haven't returned for thousands of years, perhaps because of the Great Wall of Desperation. But now that it's here, there must be a countermeasure. After all, they are magical beings with advanced intelligence. Lin Xuan did not hesitate to refute Mormont's point of view. This made Mormont's face even more ugly.
......
Lin Xuan had a long conversation with Mormont, and he told Mormont some of his opinions about the Aliens, including Dragon Crystal, and the use of Valyrian steel for the Aliens. Commander Mormont humbly listened to his suggestion, but Lin Xuan clearly saw helplessness in his eyes. The night watchman is no longer what it used to be. As the commander-in-chief, he can only control a few hundred people, and there is no conclusive evidence, those nobles in the south will not believe it.
Early the next morning, Lin Xuan left the Great Wall of Desperation. Begin to march south. He sympathizes with the Night's Watch, but that doesn't mean he will accompany them in defending the Wall. What Lin Xuan wanted to do was to explore the secrets of this world, and by the way, find a way to defeat the strange ghosts.
After a long journey of more than ten days, Lin Xuan finally saw the human city. A huge wall appeared before his eyes. It was a wall of about thirty meters, which was quite terrifying in terms of the productivity of this world. Such cities may have survived thousands of years of war.
This is the northern guardian of the Targaryens, Winterfell. The Starks have ruled the region for thousands of years as guardians of the North. Beijing as a whole has a cold climate and a much smaller population than in the south. But because of the harsh climate, the people are brave and strong, and the soldiers are extremely powerful. Lin Xuan tidied up his clothes slightly, and then walked towards the city in front of him.
