Chapter 11: Into the City
House Stark is the Lords of the North, with many vassals. The family castle is Winterfell, the capital of the North, and its emblem is a silver-gray ice wolf on a white snowfield, known as "Winteris Coming" in the ethnic language. Starks are typically characterized by long faces, grey eyes, dark brown hair, and a slender physique, and the term "wolfblood" is sometimes used to describe the unrestrained and wild nature of some Stark family members.
--------- Stark family
A month later, Ma Shen, wearing a leather armor made of wolf skin and carrying a sword at his waist, appeared under the gates of Winterfell.
Raising his head, Ma Shen looked at the huge city gate in front of him with some dumbfoundedness, and a huge complex castle covering several acres stood in front of him, including two thick walls and a village sitting at the gate.
Sure enough, the TV series are all lies, Ma Shen thought in disbelief, such a big Winterfell is completely different from the Winterfell shown on TV. But think about it, after all, in Winterfell is said to have been built by the "city builder" Brandon and the help of giants more than 8,000 years ago, as the capital of the northern kingdom, of course, it is now the capital of the north, so no matter how sparse the population of the north is, it can't be like a small castle, in this case, even if the Stark family doesn't care, the people of the north don't agree, just build a castle is bigger than the capital, that's okay.
A month ago, after Ma Shen used his skills, he lay in Uncle Luoer's house for a month, and the surrounding villages heard about Ma Shen's wolf slayer, and even the nobles in the castle heard about it.
At first, everyone didn't believe it, thinking that the people in Uncle Luoer's village were bragging, how could there be a person who could deal with more than 100 wolves at the same time, and some people didn't even believe that the village had encountered a wolf disaster.
It's been years since I've heard of wolves attacking human villages in droves, and it's almost become a story for children at midnight.
Everyone scoffed, not believing what the people in the village said, until Uncle Rohr was angry and took almost all the people in the village to carry all the shriveled wolf corpses in a trailer from village to village, and even Winterfell came over, if it weren't for the villagers in the village to stop him, the idle Uncle Rohr might have the urge to go to King's Landing.
At that time, because I felt that it was a bit monotonous to just carry the wolf corpse, Uncle Rohr even wanted to carry Ma Shen, who was lying on the bed and was injured and couldn't move, to show off, of course, this idea was undoubtedly bankrupt, and little Nasha kicked Uncle Rohr out of Ma Shen's room with a broom, Ma Shen felt very lucky, and when there was no way to move, there was also a heroic little Nasha to protect him.
The end result, of course, was that Ma Shen became famous, and the nickname of the wolf slayer was turned into a song by the bard over time and sung in the Seven Kingdoms. Then Ma Shen, who became a celebrity, was naked, with black hair and black eyes, a face that looked completely different from the people around him, from the distant and mysterious East, a country called Huaxia, and the son of a nobleman, of course, these were all accidentally revealed by a certain big mouth.
Ma Shen's traits processed by Uncle Rohr made those young ladies feel very mysterious and obsessed, and when Ma Shen was lying in bed, he had already received many letters from his servants from those young ladies and noblewomen. There are those who are curious to ask about his deeds, those who are curious to see him, the subtext is that if you can, you can have a friendship cannon, and there is a letter written by a little girl saying that she wants to travel with Ma Shen, etc., all kinds of letters.
As for why Ma Shen came to Winterfell, in addition to lying in bed for too long and wanting to move, it was mainly because of another reason, Eddard Stark of Winterfell, yes, it was Eddard Stark, the guardian of the North and the Duke of Winterfell, who wrote to him that because he had heard about the recent rumors of the wolf slayer, he wanted to invite him to tell him about the specific events of that night, and by the way, if possible, he wanted to invite Ma Shen to be his child's swordsmanship teacher.
Ma Shen happily agreed to Duke Ed's request, and said goodbye to the enthusiastic Uncle Rohr, this time Uncle Rohr is not pretending to be enthusiastic, but really enthusiastic, Ma Shen is now Uncle Rohr's beckoning cat, someone came all the way to see Ma Shen, Uncle Rohr said enthusiastically: Meet the wolf slayer? Of course, but although the wolf slayer saved the village, he was also seriously injured, so he needed to pay some medical expenses to go in to see him. Ma Shen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he thought about it, if it wasn't for pretending to be seriously injured, he would have run away a long time ago.
Of course, the timing of receiving the invitation letter from Duke Ed is also very good, and it just so happens that the sequelae of the skill have passed, in addition to the permanent reduction of 25% attributes, this is fatal to others, because they may only be able to use the skill once in their lifetime, and after using this skill, even a very strong man may be inferior to ordinary people, maybe this is the reason why this skill is not famous even if it is powerful.
But because Ma Shen has fused with the Godhead, it has become very simple, as long as there is enough energy, he can improve his physical fitness. This was discovered when Ma Shen was lying on the hospital bed groping for the use of energy, although at the same time, Ma Shen was finally disappointed to confirm that he really couldn't directly exchange for higher skills across the basic skills.
685 points of energy, this is all Ma Shen's harvest that night, excluding the extra 5 points of energy, which means that Ma Shen used his skills to kill 136 wolves in just 20 minutes on the day the wolf plague struck. Ma Shen found that spending 20 points below 10 points can increase 1 attribute point, and it will be doubled above 10 points, and it takes 40 points to increase an attribute point, and finally Ma Shen spent 150 points of energy to restore his body, and spent another 360 points of energy to increase the strength and agility data by 3 points each, and finally made up for the shortcomings of the lack of physical fitness.
Host: Ma Shen
Strength: 13
Dexterity: 13
Constitution: 13
Energy: 75
Skill:
Advanced Swordsmanship (52/1000): Greatly improves the feeling of wielding a sword and enhances the coordination of the body
Basic Combat (45/100): Improves hand-to-hand combat skills and familiarizes oneself with one's body
Basic Fury (1/10): Unleashes the body's potential to gain extraordinary combat power and recovery for 20 minutes. Cost: Can only be used once in half a year, and the attributes will be reduced by 95% within 1 month after use, and the attributes will be permanently reduced by 25%.
This is Ma Shen's current attribute panel, and the reason why the energy is 100 points less is because later, Ma Shen spent another 100 energy points to buy advanced swordsmanship in the mall.
In this month, after all, the physical attributes have been weakened by 95%, for the sake of his personal safety, although the injury has long been healed, he can still only pretend to be seriously injured and lie in bed.
But normal people always lie in bed and have nothing to do, so whenever little Nasha leaves the room, Ma Shen will use all his strength to pick up the sword and train hard, not to mention, although because of the blessing of memory, Ma Shen has improved faster than others, but at this time of training, the effect is particularly obvious.
In a month's time, Ma Shen has risen from basic swordsmanship to advanced swordsmanship, so he will accept Lord Eddard's invitation, otherwise he is not even good at swordsmanship, and he is still basic swordsmanship, let alone teaching others, then he will not have to laugh off his big teeth. Through various observations during this month, Ma Shen determined that basic swordsmanship should be at the level of an ordinary soldier, and advanced swordsmanship was barely a master.
Ma Shen, who was following the people into the city and slowly walking towards Winterfell, glanced at the obviously well-trained soldiers at the city gates, although they were only wearing leather armor, they felt very fierce, completely different from the poor worm Will.
Thinking of Will, Ma Shen suddenly fell silent, feeling a little sad in his heart, although it had been so long, he still couldn't let go of Will's death. Although he buried him with his own hands, and swore that he would take him to his hometown in the future, there were nights when he would always dream of the night when Will died to protect him.
Many people didn't survive that night, Will, Bearded, Jayad, etc., etc., and a small half of the villagers died, both strong and thin, and the lucky ones left a whole corpse, and the unlucky ones...
Ma Shen shook his head a little sadly, and didn't think about it anymore, everyone is equal in this cruel world, and if he is unlucky, it may be his turn next time.
Glancing at the massive walls of Winterfell, Ma Shen took a deep breath and walked quickly towards the city, starting a new journey.
The curtain began to open slowly.
