Looking at the dilapidated castle on the island in the middle of the lake, a sense of the vicissitudes of time came to my face.

From a distance, Lynn soon realized that the wooden fort was not just made of wood, but the decaying building timber was hidden by the branches of the dense oak forest around it, and among the branches, only a stone chimney and two stone walls could be found standing tenaciously from the collapsed ruins.

"The Ancestral Castle. Arya, who got off the carriage, and Lyanna, the little bear girl, came behind Lynn with their companions, and I don't know how the two women talked about on the way, but looking at the two of them holding their wrists intimately, it seemed that they were quite in love, and at this moment Arya Stark suddenly broke through behind Lynn and shouted, causing Lynn and Little Rose Hanniu and others to turn their heads and look behind them.

"Ancestral Castle, Arya, do you know this place?" asked Lynn.

"Yes. Arya stared blankly at the island in the lake, nodded her little head, and let the little bear girl take her arm forward, and walked over to Lynn and Margaery the little rose.

At this time, Arya moved her gaze to Lynn beside her, and Erya looked into Lynn's eyes and said, "Lynn, do you know Arazukatun?"

—————

Lynn was puzzled, "Of course, what's wrong with the Dustin family's fief?"

"That's the ......," Arya pointed to the center of the lake, "that should be the Desert Tomb Tun, although I am also here for the first time, but my father once said that the Wild Tomb is located on the Great Desert Tomb, and it is also the first to lead the ancestors to Westeros's tomb, and the center of this small lake, if I am not mistaken, should be the tomb of the Ancestor King." ”

Before Lynn could react, Lyanna Mormont on the side seemed to be inspired by Arya's words, and her eyes were suddenly filled with light, "Sister Arya, the Ancestor King of the Lake, is that what it means? But isn't Deserted Mound Tun a northern town? That dilapidated fortress doesn't look like it has just been deserted." ”

Arya's big eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this, and she seemed to be unable to give a positive answer to the question raised by the little bear girl.

Lynn frowned, he didn't know anything about the mysterious northern town of Wasteland, and even since he came to this world, he hadn't really seen a person who had walked out of the land of the ancestors and couldn't gather more information about it.

However, he was almost certain of one thing, Arazuka Tun is also known as Aratsuka Town, and rumors say that it is located on the Arazuka Desert Tomb, near two rivers that flow south to the salt spear flats.

Lynn turned to Han Niu and said, "Send two brothers to search the south side of the lake to see if there is a south-facing river." ”

"Yes, sir. The armor-clad Han Niu quickly went to greet the people.

At this time, a woman in a big red robe also walked from the direction of the convoy.

On a cold day, this girl still wears a skirt like this, only relying on the wrapped cotton socks to keep warm, not afraid of freezing at all, Lynn was about to make fun of Melisandre, and suddenly saw that her eyes were actually steaming with a miserable white light, remembering that the housekeeper Dani had also had this one, knowing that this woman was probably in some kind of state of confusion, Lynn's heart suddenly burst, and immediately retracted her expression, staring at her intently.

The three women also noticed that Lynn's expression was different, and they all followed his line of sight, Melisandre, who was covered in red and even her cotton shoes were bright red, and walked slowly with her hands around her waist.

Not far away, the soldiers were quickly erecting tents on a flat ground by the lake, because it was still early and there was no need to prepare dinner, except for a few personal guards, there were no more soldiers around Lynn to guard them.

Everyone waited patiently for the priestess of the Lord of Light to approach slowly, until she was almost to Lynn's side, and when Han Niu looked at the strange Melisandre and was almost about to draw her sword to stop her, the white light in the red robe's eyes disappeared, and a pair of blue eyes reappeared, shining against the backdrop of copper-red hair.

Melisandre stood ten steps away from Lynn, slowly bowed down, and then smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth: "Congratulations, my lord, the trouble you have to solve is here, worthy of being the son of Rahlo, you go with the guidance of the Lord of Light wherever you go." ”

Lynn snorted, "Melisandre, do you think the crow matter has something to do with this island in the lake?"

"It's not an island, it's a big tomb. ”

Little Rose hooked Lynn's arm, her bumpy chest pressed against Lynn's arm, and said softly, "Miss Arya also thought just now that the tomb of the Ancestor King is under the island. ”

The red-robed woman looked into the lake, her eyes refocused, "No, the tomb is not underground, and when night falls, the cemetery will appear on the ground. ”

Lynn sighed, no matter who was right, Arya or Melisandre, but there was one thing they inferred about the same.

The tomb of the Ancestral King is on the island.

Either way, Lynn was bound to take a look.

Lynn and a few women stayed by the lake for a while, and then they heard a wave of horses' hooves galloping from a distance, it was the thin monkey and the sentry cavalry returning from horseback, and Lynn saw that there were also guards in his team who had just been instructed by Han Niu to investigate the river near the South Lake.

The thin monkey turned over and dismounted, tied the reins to a rough log at will, trotted over and knelt down and said, "My lord, I looked around, and there was no village or dwelling, but in the southwest of the lake I saw a small river, and the source of the river began from the lake in front of us, and the water flowed south without knowing where it went. ”

When Lynn heard this, he had a plan in his heart, nodded and encouraged the thin monkey: "You can do this well, let the soldiers speed up the camp, and then prepare dinner, with dinner, we have to cross the lake, you go and send someone nearby to see if there is a small boat available." ”

"Yes. ”

After a sumptuous dinner, the twilight thickens, and the sky turns blue as the sun sets.

After dinner, Lynn and Margaery strolled along the shore of the lake to eat, and Han Niu and three guards led their horses fifty paces away, and the breeze blew, rippling on the mirror-like surface of the lake, and the broken tower in the center of the island fell into the lake, and became broken and eerie.

Walking in the acorn-covered woods, Lynn and the two came to the sandy beach by the lake, and the sound startled away several red deer that came to the lake to drink, and the deer shadow left messy hoof prints on the beach, rushed into a dense bush behind them, and jumped and fled into the woods.

Stepping on a wet sandy ground, the two walked hand in hand to the lake, looking at the shaking lake reflecting their own appearance, the little rose Margaery couldn't help but sigh a little, "It's hard to believe that the ancestor king of the ancestors would be buried in such a place." ”

Lynn shrugged, "After the first war between the ancestors and the sons of the forest, they signed a peace agreement on Thousand Faces Island, according to which the ancestors got all the open land, and the sons of the forest kept the forest. Therefore, the ancestral mounds are the only small forests that the ancestors could have at the beginning, and they can be buried in this forest where there is not a single fish beam tree, and the ancestor king must also be happy. ”

"Son of the Forest," Margaery the Little Rose smiled lightly, "and soon you will be able to see the tomb of the First Ancestor King, and it will be interesting to see the legends one by one come true." ”

Lynn's voice deepened, "Maybe there will be danger on the island, if you can, you'd better stay......"

"If you were left alone to face those hardships and dangers," Margaery smiled softly at Lynn's face, "I'd be more worried." ”

Lynn smiled slightly, it is always a happy thing for someone to be rightly worried about themselves.

After wandering along the lakeside for a while, the twilight became more gloomy and the surroundings began to be covered in black.

However, the light of fire soon began to be heard in the direction of the camp, and several armoured soldiers, as well as the red-robed women Melisandre, Arya Stark, and Lyanna Mormont, walked from the wooded camp to the lake.

Seven or eight oak bark boats, scavenged by the Gripen guards on the lake, who had been scavenged from nowhere, were already waiting quietly.

Lynn took the noble sword placed in the tent from the thin monkey, put on a silver-white stainless steel armor under the service of the guards, turned his head to look at the people on the sand, and under the white moon wheel, Lynn said in a quiet voice: "Let's go!"

This time, Lynn took more than 70 people with him.

Each boat can squeeze about ten people, and Lynn's boat is a little looser, only sitting himself and the little rose Margaery, Arya wearing chain mail and waist with a thin sword, a little bear girl in black cotton armor, and Melisandre, the priestess of the Lord of Light, who is still in a red dress, plus a thin monkey and two rowing guards, a total of eight people.

The oars stir the water of the lake like a rippling black mirror.

The bright moonlight in the sky is shining on the lake.

The distance from the lake to the island is not very far, and it only takes about ten minutes from boarding the boat to arriving at the central island, and everyone jumps from the small boat in turn.

The torch was soon lit, and dozens of people first followed the direction of the ruined tower, through several artificially built stone paths, and then reached the edge of the raised stone wall, and easily came to the old square in front of the ruined castle.

It is a standard two-story stone fort, and there is nothing surprising about it except for its dilapidation.

Lynn looked around, but he didn't see half a figure, and Aratsukatun or Arazuka Town didn't appear at all.

There is no trace of the tomb of the legendary ancestor king, and it seems to be a simple broken castle.

Lynn patiently searched around, but found nothing abnormal, so he opened his mouth and asked the red-robed girl, "What is the next step?"

Melisandre paced to a dilapidated stone sculpture in the center of the field, first looked left and right, then reached out and grasped the ruby pendant around her neck, and sang something in her mouth.

Soon, the ruby pendant in her palm glowed a dazzling red.

The glow of the sun is blooming.

Lynn saw a halo of light appear beneath the remnants of the old castle, and soon, the voice of the red-robed woman sounded in the silence of the night.

"My great Son of Rahlo, the Lord of Light has shown you the way, you can tell me, but only you can see it. ”

Lynn was stunned, looked left and right, and sure enough, she found that Little Rose and Arya had all moved their eyes to her, as if they hadn't noticed the obvious light and shadow under the remnant tower at all.

Lynn frowned, stretched out his finger in surprise and pointed to the ruins under the remnant tower, and said to the thin monkey, "There, you let a few of your subordinates go over and take a look." ”

A few torches quickly followed Lynn's instructions to search.

Before Lynn could ask Little Rose if they couldn't see any halos, she saw Arya blink her big eyes and walk up to Lynn, her big eyes full of doubts, "Lynn, can you see the guidance of the Lord of Light?"

Lynn touched her nose lightly, and said in her heart that this was probably Melisandre's ghost, but she had no evidence and was not easy to explain, so she smiled at Erya, who seemed to be full of curiosity, and said with a meaningful wry smile: "Maybe." ”

Between words.

In the distance, the thin monkey shouted, "My lord, there is an iron gate here, which leads through the stone tower. ”

When Lynn heard this, she immediately beckoned everyone to follow.

Sure enough, illuminated by the bright firelight, in the center of the ruins, a huge carved iron gate opened under the remnant tower, and a huge iron chain was fastened on the iron gate, judging from the rusty traces, it seems that no one has opened it for a long time.

The scene inside the iron gate was pitch black, as if it was cut off from the fire outside.

It's just that Lynn saw the halo again from behind the iron door, the milky white halo, the aura formed flickered in the darkness inside the iron door, Lynn looked around, and found other expressions that still didn't find anything, his eyes were attracted by the iron lock, and when he looked at Melisandre who was following closely behind him, the red woman just bowed slightly to Lynn and didn't say anything.

Naturally, an iron lock could not stop everyone's way.

The thin monkey pried open the iron lock, removed the chain, and several guards slowly pushed the carved iron door open, and in front of everyone was a dark stone staircase that did not know where it led, and the staircase was not down, but up.

A cold breath blew down from the top of the stairs, and people couldn't help but feel a thrill all over their bodies.

Now that you have come here, there is naturally no reason to retreat.

Han Niu scrambled to propose: "My lord, I'll take a few people in first." ”

Hearing this, Lynn nodded slightly, although he wanted to go in, it was necessary to be cautious, so he instructed Han Niu: "Be careful when you go in, equip your weapons well." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, those monsters in the underground collapse last time didn't help me. Han Niu patted his chest and agreed, and took the lead in carrying the torch after entering the iron gate.

Behind him, five or six guards in armor and weapons in their arms slowly followed.

It didn't take long for Han Niu's shout to come from inside, "My lord, I didn't find anything abnormal, there is a mausoleum inside, damn it, there are graves everywhere." ”

When Lynn heard this, she just wanted to lead people in.

There was a tug on his elbow, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Little Rose Margaery holding her arm and stopped, and her delicate little face was facing the depths of the dark iron gate, and her face was sallow.

"What's wrong?" Lynn looked at the little rose with a pale face, a little puzzled, Margaery shouldn't be such a timid person, why didn't she see anything, she was scared like this.

Seeing Lynn's inquiring eyes, Margaery was a little eager to speak and stopped, and only said after a while: "Lynn, I have an ominous premonition. ”
