The crow of ravens echoed through the Mormont residence, and Evan spoke to the guards next to him, and he walked out. Nine-year-old Lyanna and Evan were the only ones left in the room.

Evan spoke, "Lyanna, I've told you about the recent changes in the Seven Realms, what do you think the news from this emergency raven will be?" ”

Lyanna had a serious look on her face, a thoughtful expression on her face. After a moment she spoke, "I think Robert should have come to the North to ask for foreign help!" Now King's Landing is full of Lannisters, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Robert is very worried, so please be the Prime Minister! ”

Evan said loudly: "Then let's wait, it is estimated that the guards will send the letter back in a while." ”

Moments later, the guards delivered a letter, and Evan ordered him to stand down. I checked the fire paint and there were no problems. He opened the letter and read it, then handed it to Lyanna.

After reading it, Lyanna's serious little face smiled: "Congratulations, Lord Aven, Lord Stark said that the king named you to see you in Winterfell, and he must have asked you to be the prime minister!" ”

Evan looked at Lyanna solemnly, and did not answer her words, but asked, "Lyanna, are you honest with me, have you had a good time returning to Bear Island from Winterfell in the past two years?" ”

Lyanna said calmly, "Lord Aven, if you are honest, I am not happy. But I was very full, and if life in Winterfell was a symbol of childhood, then I believe that I had grown up in the past two years. It's just that I have one thing that I wonder, and that is why are you preparing to train me to become the next leader of Bear Island? ”

Evan looked at Lyanna with a solemn expression: "What do you think I'm doing this for?" ”

Lyanna spoke, "I guess there are two reasons, but I don't know if it's right or not, the first is that you can't have children, you can't have children. The second is that you want to be prime minister and you don't have time for anything else! ”

Evan laughed, "This is what you see me in?" Hehe. ”

"I'm sorry, my lord, but I didn't mean to offend you!"

Evan looked at Lyanna Mormont below, then stepped forward and gently stroked her head: "I know that you have hated me for the past two years, why a brother who used to be extremely gentle to you has become so harsh. The feelings you once had with me have all turned into resentment and even hatred for me! ”

"My lord, I don't." Lyanna, who was only nine years old, looked up at Evan and said stubbornly.

Evan smiled, "Lyanna, do you know one of your habits?" That's when you lie, your fingers go in circles. ”

Lyanna suddenly panicked, and quickly withdrew her hand to hide her embarrassment. Evan didn't pursue it, but looked at the towering lighthouse in the distance outside the door and said, "Lyanna, you don't know me, and no one in this world knows about me. Am I for the Prime Minister? Am I for the right? Am I for the ideal? Am I here to prove myself? Am I in it for honor? None of this is true, it's just a passing moment for me. ”

Lyanna asked in a deep voice, "Lord Aven, what are you for?" ”

Evan said, "You must have read my book about the strangers! ”

Lyanna said suspiciously, "My lord, I've seen it!" ”

"What if I say that the Aliens are real, and that they will soon strike from the Land of Eternal Winter and sweep through Westeros?"

Lyanna suddenly exclaimed, "Impossible! ”

Evan lowered his head and looked at Lyanna solemnly, "What if I say, I've really seen it?" ”

Under the cultivation of Evan in the past two years, Lyanna has been able to think rationally: "How to ......"

"It was when I was nine years old, and my attendants and I left Bear Island by boat, intending to land in the north, but we encountered a storm, and when we landed, we found a land of ice and snow, and we were outside the island!

We had to keep walking, from day to night, and we came to a forest. Not far away was a savage village, and we didn't dare to approach it, so we had to stay in the forest for the night.

It was late at night, the wind was howling, we dug a hole in the snow and hid in it, and after a while the attendants fell asleep, but I couldn't sleep, and suddenly I heard a wail, and screams came from afar!

I looked back at the squire, who was sleeping like a dead pig. I don't know where I got the courage to walk out of the snow cave alone. Walk in the direction of the wailing. The moon was bright that night, illuminating the whole land, and I hid on a high ground and looked down on the village below!

Where did I find the scene that I still remember, a dozen dark blue humanoids, followed by hundreds of dead ice wolves, slaughtering the entire village!

When the slaughter was over, the dead savages lying on the ground actually stood up, their faces expressionless, and then followed a dozen dark blue creatures and hundreds of ice wolves towards the land of eternal winter!

Do you know how I felt? I was directly frightened stupid, lying motionless on the snow, and I didn't dare to breathe.

It wasn't until they had long been gone that I dragged my frozen body back to the cave, I didn't fall asleep that night, and the next day I calmed down, in order to prevent me from hallucinating, I went with my attendants to check on the village of the savages, and found that it was covered with blood, and there was not a single dead man's body in the village. It was then that I realized that I had encountered the legendary Alien Spirit, who could control dead creatures, and the legend had completely appeared before my eyes! ”

After hearing this, Lyanna didn't think that Evan was lying, and she quickly asked, "What happened later?" ”

"Later, I told my attendant that the savage village might have been attacked by cannibals, and the two of us left in a hurry!"

Lyanna spoke, "My lord, why didn't you say that you had met a strange ghost? ”

Evan smiled, "What you mean by asking, why don't I tell everyone on Westeros about this experience?" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Evan spoke, "Do you think they'll believe me, or do you think I'm a madman and locked me up?" ”

Lyanna fell silent and did not speak. She knew the answer, and if Evan went around preaching that he had seen a strange ghost, he would definitely be considered crazy. Just like in a previous life, if someone claimed that he had seen a character from the age of mythology, what would you think?

With that said, Evan spoke, "Lyanna Mormont listens! ”

"Yes, sir!"

"From tomorrow onwards, I will be heading to Winterfell, and from now on you will be the acting leader of Bear Island, in charge of all things big and small! Do you understand? ”

In the past two years, Lyanna has already been prepared under Aivan's training, and she said, "Yes! ”

Evan continued: "I only have two requirements for you, the first is to ensure that all the policies I have formulated can continue to operate, and the most important thing is to ensure the pressure on the wildlings and the material reserves of the Great Wall of Desperation, understand?!" ”

"Understood, sir!"

Evan continued, "Second, continue to send people to the Land of Eternal Winter to search for information on the Wraiths, and it is best to capture the Ghouls!" ”

Lyanna asked, "My lord, have you sent someone there before?" ”

Evan spoke: "Since I inherited the leader of Bear Island, I have secretly sent five search teams so far, and these five times have become stronger than the other, but none of them have come back alive. ”

Lyanna did not question the reasonableness of the personnel sent by Aven, and she believed that Evan would not make such a lowly mistake: "No one came back alive after five searches, and I believe that it could not have been done by a wild man." So, Lord Aven, do you think you sent a search team to find the strange ghosts, and they discovered them, so they aroused their vigilance? ”

Evan spoke, "From my experience of seeing the Stranger, there is no doubt that the Stranger is wise. They have an aristocratic hierarchy within them!

I've also considered this situation in the past few years, and the search team hasn't come back once out of five times, so if the strangers noticed that someone knew about their existence. So now the strange ghost is hiding because of his lack of strength! And the man I sent was ambushed!

But there is insufficient intelligence, and I can't judge at all. Anyway, Lyanna, I've got the general direction in place, and the rest of the details are up to you. Maybe you'll do better than I do! I look forward to hearing from King's Landing that you've captured a ghoul! ”

"Yes, my lord, I will not live up to your cultivation in the past two years."

At the end of the conversation, Evan looked at Lyanna next to him, and then walked outside, into the aisle. He looked up at the busy crowd below, all of whom were Bear Island clerks.

Bear Island eight years ago and Bear Island eight years later are two different worlds. Now the political center of Bear Island is surrounded by concrete-paved ground, and the core building is also a building more than 30 meters high. Outside, there are windows and doors in the glass alley, and the heating equipment is heating.

It seems incredible, but a modern building has appeared on Bear Island. Bear Island was able to produce all the materials needed for this construction!

Lyanna came to Evan and stood quietly, and Evan asked the question again: "Lyanna, do you hate me?" ”

"I hated a little bit before, hated why you were so strict with me in the past two years. But now I don't hate, I know you're doing it for my good. ”

Evan smiled and didn't speak, but looked at the coal and iron base in the distance, as if pondering something. After a while, Lyanna asked, "My lord, are you not sure that you will defeat the strangers?" ”

Ai Wen said solemnly: "Don't worry, everything has me." Strange ghosts, not worth mentioning! ”

Lyanna had heard Winterfell's grandmother scare her with a stranger since she was a child. What she didn't expect was that today she would have to face the legendary creature directly. And Aven's answer was obviously just to increase her confidence. If the Alien is so easy to destroy, why does Evan go to King's Landing to be Prime Minister, that is his ideal? In the past two years, Lyanna has discovered that this ideal is nothing more than a hoax.

"Lyanna?"

She was thinking about it and immediately came back to her senses: "My lord, what's the matter?" ”

"It's been two years, can you call me brother?"

“……”

It was only at this moment that Lyanna realized that human inertia is so great. After these two years, they are no longer the close brother and sister they used to be. Calling out brother, it turned out to be so difficult.

Evan smiled and reached out to touch Lyanna's head, only to find that it was no longer suitable. From now on, she will be the leader of Bear Island.

"Haha, it's okay, I'm just kidding. Protect Bear Island. At last...... Take care of yourself! ”

The north wind was howling outside, and the corridor was a little cold. Ai Wen looked at the old guy who was always by his side, and said to it in his heart: "This is not my world after all!" ”
