The story takes place in a continent called "Sunset Country", Westeros, which has undergone a thousand years of change, and is now ruled by Robert Baratheon, who overthrew tyranny fifteen years ago. In this era when the warm summer sun is fading and winter is approaching, King Robert of King's Landing in the south suddenly travels north to visit his friend Eddard Stark, the lord of Winterfall and the guardian of the north, and asks him to go south to serve as the prime minister of the emperor under one man and above ten thousand. A seemingly simple request, but behind it is actually a turbulent undercurrent.

A simple king, an upright prime minister, a minister with his own thoughts, and a prince from all over the world who support their own troops, the whole country only relies on a thin string to maintain the superficial peace, and when the string breaks, the country is once again plunged into endless war. And even more terrifying, those ancient legends and long-extinct creatures are returning to this land......"

When Zhang Xinyi came back to his senses, he was already in a mud that smelled of dampness and decay, and the sound of rigid and unchanging electronic synthesized sound echoed in his ears.

Overhead, the thick black trunks of the trees squeezed against each other, the twisted branches weaving a dense towering tree top, and the deformed intertwined roots wrestled with each other underground. It is a deep, silent primeval jungle.

"Is the landing site a primeval jungle?" It was the first time Zhang Xinyishang had seen such a primeval forest.

"Information Collection...... Build a model...... Path Recognition ...... It is expected to be out of the jungle in six hours and twenty minutes......"

Zhang Xinyi thought for a while and walked in the chosen direction......

The dark and primitive jungle, the stones are crawling with moss, and if you are not careful, you will easily slip and fall into the mud, and the 10,000-year-old trees are scattered everywhere, exuding the smell of dampness and decay.

Suddenly, there was a terrified shout not far away, and a hunter staggered and ran, and suddenly tripped over a dead branch that crossed the ground, and the whole person fell to the mud ground fiercely, and almost at the same time, a silver-gray giant wolf suddenly rose into the air, bringing a fishy wind to pounce from behind.

The pupils contracted violently, and the predator's awe-inspiring might made the hunter's body stiff and unable to move at all.

With a "bang", a figure slammed into the side of the giant wolf like a siege vehicle, bounced it far away.

The silver-gray giant wolf twisted his waist in mid-air, and a man turned over and landed on all four paws, his silver pupils stared at the man in front of him, and with the beast's amazing intuition, it felt that this man was a completely different existence from the hunter who fled in front.

"Be careful, it's the Icewolf!" The hunter in the mud crawled to his feet and made a frightened sound.

The corner of the "Ice Wolf ......" The corner of the man's mouth showed a look of interest, and it was Zhang Xinyi who had just descended into this world.

This wolf has the size of a short **, their legs are very long, their heads are much larger than ordinary wolves, their muzzles are long and prominent, and their eyes exude a ferocious and cunning light, which is worthy of being the top predator at the top of the Northland biological chain.

At the same time, the ice wolf's instinct is also telling it that the man in front of it is very dangerous, but its hungry belly makes it unwilling to let go of the "food" in front of it.

The wolf is a very cautious animal, it will not move easily, it slowly paces in a vain attempt to find the flaws of the other party, and will send out a thunderous blow at every opportunity.

With a "snap", Zhang Xinyi accidentally stepped on a dead branch under his feet, and his body fell back uncontrollably.

The huge hideous figure flashed by like lightning, and the sharp claws were like the most ruthless killers pointing at the warm veins in the man's throat.

"Brutes are indeed brutes!" With a violent volley, Zhang Xinyi's waist shrank and shook, his body rose in mid-air, and his fist suddenly blasted out from top to bottom, hitting the waist and abdomen of the wolf at a wonderful angle.

The wolf is known as a copper-headed and iron-boned tofu waist, Zhang Xinyi's punch hit the point, only to hear a clear and miserable howl of "whoosh", the attacking wolf flew back at a faster speed, slammed into a big tree, and slid weakly to the ground.

The ice wolf is a creature that grew up in an extremely harsh environment outside the fortress, and its vitality is extremely tenacious, which is equivalent to twice the strength of an adult man, and a full blow that does not kill it can kill it, but it also makes it dizzy and loses most of its combat power for a while.

"Whew......" The ice werewolf glanced at Zhang Xinyi humanely, revealing a look of fear, and finally howled and turned around with his tail between his legs and fled.

And Zhang Xinyi also stood in place and did not catch up.

"My lord, why don't you kill it?" The hunter who was rescued by Zhang Xinyi said cautiously.

"For its sake, it's about to become a mother." Zhang Xinyi turned around and asked with a smile, "Do you know where the nearest village is?" ”

……

"My lord, are you a knight?" Not far from the forest, in a low stone house with mottled marks crawling on the wall, Lisa, the hunter's daughter, asked curiously, she was a beautiful girl with long black hair and brown eyes, and she was staring at Zhang Xinyi curiously.

Zhang Xinyi smiled and rubbed her little head, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"Dad said you saved him from the clutches of the Icewolf, I know the Icewolf, it's the strongest beast in the North."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm just a mercenary."

"Oh." The girl did feel a little lost, and lowered her head and continued to nibble on the potatoes in the bowl.

"My lord, please forgive her, she just heard too many knight stories at the neighbor's house." The hunter brought a pot of cooked soup to the table, which exuded a thick aroma of meat, "Please use it, thank you for saving your life." ”

Lisa put down the potatoes in her hand, looked at the meat in the pot and swallowed hard, but was glared at by her parents and quickly lowered her head.

Zhang Xinyi smiled and sandwiched a piece of meat for Lisa, and suddenly asked casually, "How do you get to the nearest road to Winterfell here?" ”

The hunter was stunned for a moment and said, "Winterfell of House Stark? Oh, there's quite a bit of a road from here, and I've heard that His Majesty was going to visit Lord Stark recently. Do you want ......"

"It's an opportunity, isn't it?"

The hunter suddenly showed a look of clarity, on the continent of Westeros, there is only one path for commoners to become knights, which is to swear allegiance to a certain nobleman and become a retainer of the other party. In the hunter's mind, since the other party has such a skill, then the king's visit to Winterfell is the best opportunity to become a knight.

"Tomorrow there is a caravan passing through the village to trade in Winterfell, so you can follow them."

"Thank you." Zhang Xinyi nodded.

In the middle of the night, a low knock sounded outside Zhang Xinyi's door.

"Who is it?" Zhang Xinyi jumped directly behind the door on tiptoe and asked in a low voice.

"My lord, it's me." A faint girl's voice.

When they opened, Zhang Xinyi looked at the girl Lisa in surprise, and looked up at him with a dim oil lamp.

"Lisa, what are you doing so late?"

The little girl suddenly fell into Zhang Xinyi's arms, trembled slightly and said, "Please teach me how to fight, tonight...... Lisa is your ...... tonight."

Zhang Xinyi didn't want to refuse, "No, you're still so young." ”

The little girl looked at him with a slightly strange look, "I'm thirteen years old, menarche has already come, and besides, I'm still **." ”

"Who cares if you're ** or not**." Zhang Xinyi couldn't cry or laugh, "Eh, who taught you...... These's? ”

"My mother." Lisa said with a gloomy expression, "But she was killed by the wild men when I was ten years old. ”

raised his head and looked at Zhang Xinyi with a look of anticipation and longing, "If I become a powerful person like an adult, I can avenge my mother." ”

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

"I can go with you!" Lisa's eyes were firm, "I'm just a girl, Daddy won't stop me." ”

Looking at the girl's determined eyes, Zhang Xinyi smiled slightly, "If you say that, Dad will be sad, one night...... It's enough to teach you something, and as for whether you succeed in learning, it depends on your own hard work......"

Behind the door, the eavesdropping hunter sighed slightly and quietly let go of the axe in his hand.

……

The next morning, the morning was cold, with a hint of loneliness, and the gloomy sky in the distance was pierced by golden pillars of light to illuminate the world.

Zhang Xinyi set out from the hunter's house, bidding farewell to the reluctant Lisa, father and daughter, together with a caravan of about twenty people, set off from the nearby village at dawn, loaded with livestock and poultry that were about to be sold, and slowly walked in the direction of Winterfell.

The girl Lisa stared closely at Zhang Xinyi's distant figure, and her fair but slightly freckled face showed a determined and tenacious look, "My lord, you wait......"

She said to herself in her heart, "I will practice what you taught me, and one day, we will meet again." ”

The barren land, the frozen roads, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance, even the air was filled with a cold smell, and everyone sat on the carts pulled by the cattle, and the white gas spewed out from the mouth and nose as they breathed, which showed how low the temperature was.

This is the northern border, south of the Great Wall and north of the Neck.

"Winterfell has arrived!" Suddenly, an excited shout broke the silence of the convoy.

As far as the eye can see, a majestic castle is unfolded, protected by two massive granite walls and a moat in between. The outer walls are about 80 feet high, and the inner walls are about 100 feet high. There are many guard towers on the outer walls, while the inner walls are densely covered with lookout holes.

The Gate Tower is made up of two huge fortresses that guard the drawbridge to the market on either side of the gate. The convoy's destination was the market in Winterfell, where they had to sell all their livestock today and return to the village before dark.

Arriving at the location, Zhang Xinyi paid the team leader ten copper plates for the fare, and then separated from the team......
