The reason why the ancestors have always been revered is because the first experience is enough to make all the nobles of Westeros awe-inspired.

When the ancestors first arrived in Westeros, they discovered the existence of the Children of the Forest on the continent. The ancestors were so frightened by the Sons of the Forest that they cut down and burned the fishbeams.

This sparked a war between the sons of the forest and the ancestors.

Although the Children of the Forest used magic to shatter the Arms of Dorne into island chains, the ancestors were taller and stronger, and their technology was more advanced. Later in the war, the two sides entered into a peace agreement on Qianmian Island, known as the oath. It stipulates that the forest is owned by the sons of the forest, that the ancestors promise not to cut down a single fishbeam tree, and that the rest of Westeros is owned by the ancestors.

The pledge began 4,000 years of peace and friendship between the two sides.

During the long period of peace, many ancestors even abandoned their original religion and turned to believe in the god of nature, the son of the forest. When the Wraiths began to invade the northern part of Westeros, the Ancestors formed an army with the Children of the Forest to fight the Battle of the Dawn. A legendary hero of the ancestors named Azar Yahai, wielding a flaming sword known as the Lightbringer, leads the war against the Wraiths of the combined army.

When the Wraiths were repelled for the first time, the Night's Watch legion was established, and the Wraiths never really invaded the territory of the Seven Kingdoms since.

The lull on the continent continued, and about 6,000 years before Aegon landed, the Andals came from the east, the main ancestors of the six southern peoples of what is now the Seven Kingdoms.

Andal entered Westeros, where the war between the ancestors and their ancestors lasted for hundreds of years for control of the continent. Eventually, with the Winter Kings blocking their invasion in Kalin Bay through the Neck, the Andals gained the southern continent. Although, for more than a thousand years, the culture of the people of the North has been lost, they still retain the spirit of their ancestors.

Whether it was a war with the Andals, or with the children of the forest or the strangers, the ancestors buried those who died in the war on this land, and over time, it was full of graves, and this land never had any big family except for the Dustin family in the barren mound.

At first, it was called a barren cemetery, but later it was changed to a barren grave for the ancestors.

Looking back on history, Little Rose said with emotion at the moment: "There are successors to the powerful families in the north, and many big names have been born, except for this ancient land that seems to have been forgotten, they still insist on species, sex, and strength, and rarely participate in the disturbances of the outside world. ”

"It's really been forgotten. Once one of the most powerful nobles in the North, the Dustins joined House Stark and House Mandalay in supporting the female heiress of House Targaryen during the Dance of the Dragons and the 101 years of the Council that preceded it. During the Dance of the Dragons, the Dustins fought valiantly in the South, defeating the Western Army on the shores of Lake Vision, and helping to kill Sir Christon Cole, the Champion of the Kingsguard of Aegon II, and Mondstadt Hightower, Earl of the Tower of Babel, who led the Southern army against Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen.

After the Usurper Wars, the Dustins' influence in the North declined. Lady Balballet, resentful of Duke Eddard Stark, refused to support their lordship, and both the Leswell family tried to send as few people as possible to the Battle of the Five Kings. ”

"Lynn, I heard that Aratsukatun hasn't submitted a vassal letter to you yet?"

"Yes, the widow of Earl William Dustin, Balbalet Leswell, the current Countess of Wasteland, now controls this barren territory. ”

Margaery blinked, "Are you going to let the army attack here?"

Lynn shook her head, "At least not this time, we're here looking for crows." ”

"Crows?" Rose pointed to the black dots hovering overhead, "You mean those pesky blackbirds?" I've noticed that they seem to be everywhere, and the lord's mansion in White Harbor City seems to be with you. ”

"They're not real crows, I've tried to catch a few of them, but couldn't really kill them. ”

Margaret Tyrell had a look of surprise on her face, "Dead and resurrected?"

"yes...... Lynn nodded and said lightly, "It's more like magic, or shapeshifting." ”

Little Rose was thinking about something to say, and there was a sharp eagle chirping in the sky, and the golden pig fluttered its wings, and flew sharply from the direction it came, and the eagle's beak opened and let out a high-pitched low chirp.

Lynn patted Little Rose's arm lightly, and Margaery raised her head against Lynn's chest and looked at Lynn's starry eyes.

Lynn said: "Our people should be almost at the foot of the mountain, let's go to the hill below to wait for them first, the wind on the cliff is too strong, and it is easy to freeze." ”

Margaery nodded.

The golden pig fell from the sky, and the two climbed on the back of the monster and went down against the wind.

On the hill, Lynn, dressed in a thick fur coat, lay on a soft autumn grass, startled with a long-lost sense of coolness, Margaery prostrate on Lynn's chest and closed her eyes to recuperate, the golden pig and the small gold bar flew tired, standing under the dead tree not far away and looking around.

Lynn felt a hint of sleepiness, slowly closed her eyes, the gentle wind of the hill wind blowing the branches and grass, closed her eyes and listened to the soothing of the earth.

Open your eyes again.

A small dirty face appeared on top of Lynn's head, and I don't know where a runny sheep herder came from, with a bun tied on his head. Maybe it's tied too tightly, the hair lifts the corners of the eyes, and the young age has a pair of upturned Danfeng eyes, and the lotus gives people an indescribable weird feeling.

Lynn stood up and grabbed the bad boy who poked his nostrils with withered grass, until he made that rare white little face into a flower face, and the sheep baby cried loudly, crying loudly, and the little rose slowly woke up, but all she could see was the scene of the sheep baby holding Lynn in both hands on the cliff barbecue, leaving the baked potatoes in his pocket and stuffing them into his small mouth.

The sheep herd whimpered and ate the potatoes and forgot to cry.

The golden pig and the small gold bar in the distance did not react in the slightest, still lazily leaning close together, looking left and right.

In the barren mountains, where did this sheep herding baby come from? Little Rose felt a little surprised, but seeing that Lynn didn't care very much, she didn't feel nervous in her heart.

And Lynn watched the sheep herder swallow a potato that was not much smaller than his dirty face with a harmless face, and the smile on his face became more and more happy.

Lynn didn't seem to notice Little Rose's suspicious face, and when she saw her woman wake up from a nap, she took her hand and gently pinched it under her.

Little Rose understood, and when she saw a chubby black-faced old man sitting not far away, she looked at her with a smile on her face, so she whispered a reminder to Lynn.

—————

Lynn smiled back, and then took out a piece of roasted yam from her pocket and put it on the placket of a sheep herder, and asked him to give it to the black-faced old man.

The old man did not refuse, and took it and carefully peeled off the skin. After eating happily with a little dirty face, it is already fate to meet and eat potatoes and yams, so there is no need to talk too much.

The sound of horses' hooves came from the mountain road in the distance, and Lynn asked the sheep herder to find the old man, told him that it was time to go back, and waved his hand at the old man to leave.

But I heard the old man's voice coming from afar: "The mountains are all graves, since the noble lord and this lady are not descendants of the ancestors, you should be careful when you walk the mountain road, if you come out to play, you should go back when you get here, the old man knows that the nobleman is a kind-hearted person, but the barren mountains and mountains are always unsafe." ”

After hearing this, Lynn's face remained silent, and he said with a smile: "We are going to go to the castle of the Dustin family in Aratsukatun, and Aratsukatun is still safe." ”

The old man took the hand of the sheep herding baby, showed a mouth of big yellow teeth at Lynn, didn't say anything, and left after laughing.
