Lyanna Mormont, the little bear girl, insisted, "No, you're lying. ”

Erya couldn't understand. "How can you be so sure? And what about you, why are you here?"

Lyanna glanced at Arya and swore domineeringly, "Of course I like Lynn, even more than you." And I've never been jealous of the tall rose that swarmed around Lynn, because now I need to grow up. You need to learn, you need to be a person who can help him, and you are running away, you are not like a former princess of the North, you can see that your freedom is only in work, and emotionally more evasive than that high court rose. ”

Arya understood.

At the same time, it reminded her of the two people she had met in the House of Black and White, one tall and thin, the other short and fat.

They were together everywhere they went, from the time we often went out in the morning until we returned in the evening. At that time, they were given a trial to make sure that no one could approach an old man who was being protected. Once, when he was returning home from the soup shop, a rickety drunk was about to hit him, but the tall guard stood between them and gave the drunk a hard blow, knocking him to the ground. In soup shops, short people always try onion broth first. And let the old man wait until the soup is cold before taking a sip, so that there is enough time to make sure that the dwarf is okay after drinking.

But in the end, the trial failed, and the short man died after drinking the soup, and the tall man did not choose to protect the old man, but also drank the soup, and all three died in the soup shop.

The killer whispered to the dead victim in the soup shop: I am sorry.

Lyanna listened carefully and said, "Why did that killer say that I was sorry?"

Speaking of these things, Arya's face returned to calm as water, "The killer is from Quells, and it is an ancient killer organization of the nature of the Order. They always like to whisper, "I'm sorry," before killing their victims, hence the name. But it doesn't matter. ”

"Oh," Bear Girl nodded, "so you're afraid that Lynn will be that tall man?"

Arya was silent for a moment before she said to Lyanna, "I am different from you, my profession is dangerous, and so is my job. ”

"So do you think the tall man would be able to defeat the Regret Killer if he didn't drink that soup?"

Arya hesitated and shook her head, "Tall people are slow and stupid. Even if it was me at the time, I could have killed him easily. ”

Bear Girl laughed again, looking at Arya Stark with a smile on her face, and she was scared.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I laughed, in that case, then what is the matter with the dwarf, if you have to blame the dwarf, it is just that the dwarf knows that the tall man will drink soup for him, but he still takes the risk to taste the first sip. Besides, short and tall are just a pronoun, you don't have to be short, and Lynn doesn't have to be tall. ”

Arya almost wanted to bite her lip when she heard this, but this time she held back. Her face was like a dark lake, buried in everything, revealing nothingness. She remembered all the names she had ever had: Arlie, weasels, pigeons, cats by the canal. She thought of the silly girl from Winterfell, and even the horse-faced Arya.

In the House of Black and White, it doesn't matter if you're indoctrinated with your name, only your face counts.

————

Bear Girl's words made Arya feel in a trance.

She remembered what Lynn had said to her when she met her again in King's Landing, "Arya, I'll let you study in the House of Black and White. I just want you to learn to be strong, but it doesn't make you an executioner. ”

Lynn sat on a cliff and roasted the fire, and at the foot of the mountain was the path through which the King's Avenue turned to the barren grave of the ancestors.

The nasty crows above his head were croaking, and it seemed that the closer he got to the north, the more the crows staring at him gathered.

Could it really be as Melisandre said and speculated, what is the connection between the ancestors and these crows?

In order to solve the raven's troubles, Lynn enlists the help of Melisandre, a red-robed priestess who is proficient in the magic of the Lord of Light, who spends three days exploring Lynn's troubles, and finally sets her sights on the land where the ancestors are buried, which is why Lynn traveled west to the north this time.

The rising sun shines through the mist and spreads on the vast field in front of you.

The area of a country in the north is known as the sum of the other six countries, which means that its territory is vast.

As far as the eye can see, there are bare, brown wastelands, uninhabited.

As far as the eye can see, the hilly terrain is as flat as a plain, and the lines from the top of the highest hill to the lowest depression are soft and soothing.

The Ancestral Mounds are a vast wasteland hill located between Winterfell and Carlin Bay in the north. It is named after the large number of graves of the ancestors. To the west of the Pioneer Tomb are the Stream Land and the Rocky Coast, and to the east are White Harbor and Bite Bay.

Today, it is the fief of the noble Dustin family in the north.

Little Rose's crisp voice sounded in Lynn's ears, "Lynn, did you come to the Ancestral Wasteland?"

Lynn sat on a rock, tightened her fur coat, and looked at the winding hills laid down by the cliffs, and there was not a single village in sight in the quiet undulating mountain room, and there was not a trace of cooking smoke.

Without directly answering Little Rose's question, Lynn looked at the relaxed scenery and said, "Margaery, do you know why this place is called the Ancestral Wasteland?"

"Could it be because the remains of a famous ancestor were buried here?" Margaery followed Lynn's gaze and looked around, looking at the landscape where there was not a single tomb to be seen, perhaps the years had weathered the remains of the ancestors, and only the name of the place was quietly remembering the past.

The mountain breeze blew Lynn's chic stay in the sea, Lynn's eyes were heavy, and he nodded and shook his head when he heard the words, "You are only half right, this is not the burial place of a famous ancestor, but many, even the places you see, were once graves." This is an ancient land, and underneath it is the graves. ”

Ancestors are the collective name for those who first set foot on the continent of Westeros. Today, the influence of the ancestors is still there, especially in the north.

Margaery was familiar with the history of the Seven Kingdoms, and she knew that in the first history of this continent, about 12,000 years before the landing of Aegon the dragon, the ancestors came to Westeros from the Eastern Continent through the unbroken Dorne Severed Arm Horn.

This is almost the first recorded time that the Terrans have left footprints on this continent.

Therefore, there is a saying that the ancestors are not only the ancestors of the descendants of the ancestors, but also the ancestors of all human beings on this continent, because they first set foot on this continent and created a suitable environment for human beings to live here.
