Away from Winterfell, to the north is the vast "Wolf Forest", which is also the last green place in the snow. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info further north, there is a harsh ice and snow. No more than four months a year can be used for farming, so the harvest can only be sustained by potatoes, rye, canola and broad beans. It's sparsely populated, and a few of the larger settlements are also near the "Last Fireplace".

Further north is the territory of the Night's Watch. In recognition of the Night's Watchman's perennial exploits in defending the Great Wall, Brandon, the "City Builder", gave the Night's Watch a land area of more than 100 kilometers south of the Great Wall of Desperation for them to receive provisions, which was called "Brandon's Land Grant". Later, Queen Aris, the wife of King Jaehaerys, the arbiter, doubled the grant and divided the same distance to the south for the Night's Watch, known as the "New Land."

But the Night's Watch is no longer the Night's Watchman. Monsters such as the Night King, the Stranger, and the Night Shadow are now just characters in horror stories, and they haven't appeared for a long time. Therefore, their combat goal has changed from "demons and monsters" to dealing with "wild people" in the north.

Wildlings are also human beings, and they just happened to be born on the other side of the Great Wall of Desperation. The harsh environment gave them a more direct and barbaric culture, taking what they couldn't take, grabbing if they couldn't get it, and killing if they couldn't grab it. The towering Great Wall of Desperation blocked their way to the warmer lands, but the understaffed Night's Watch could not oversee the entire line.

Of the nineteen castles that originally ran along the Great Wall, only three of them now have standing troops, namely the second Shadow Tower in the west, the Black Castle in the center and the East Sea Lookout in the easternmost part, and the others are just places that they only go to when patrolling and on duty. Wildlings sometimes seize the opportunity to climb the Great Wall of Desperation from undiscovered places and then ransack the lands to the south. But they couldn't take anything back, and at the same time, the knights of the north would attack and put them all to death, extinguishing the sneak attacks of the savages again and again. As a result, the situation on both sides of the Great Wall of Desperation has never changed, but the hatred has become deeper and deeper.

Zhao Mai had no intention of intervening in the battle between the Night's Watch and the Wildlings, he just wanted to find the "Three-Eyed Crow" living in seclusion in the north as soon as possible, learn his skills, and then leave. But when he arrived at the Great Wall, he found that things were by no means as simple as he imagined.

This huge building, which stretches for 600 kilometers and is more than 200 meters high on average, no one will miss it. From afar, Zhao Mai saw this amazing spectacle. The ice walls that shone like blue crystals would never melt, looking down on the earth like giants, blocking the dangers of the north with their broad and heavy chests, as well as Zhao Mai's way.

"Damn, I should have thought that this place is all magic!" Zhao Mai stomped his foot hatefully and kicked up the snow. "The Eagle's Nest City uses magic, and of course the Great Wall of Desperation is! Bran, the Son of the Forest, and the Giant, if they don't use magic, how can they build the Great Wall of Desperation?"

In the sense of the natural force, the Great Wall of Desperation is even more spectacular. Countless runes densely filled the entire building, and an invisible barrier went straight to the sky and deep into the ground, and its complexity was far more than a hundred times greater than that of Eagle's Nest City. It's okay to watch from a distance, but as long as you look closely, you will get dizzy. The whole magic draws power from the vast north, and the entire "Brandon's Gift", which is more than a hundred kilometers away, is powering this huge structure.

No matter how barren the north is, there is still no shortage of ice, snow and cold winds, and the Great Wall of Desperation relies on this force to stand tall, the harsher it is, the stronger the Great Wall. Zhao Mai drove close to the Great Wall with the idea of what to do, but found that he could not cross it at all, whether it was above ground or underground. As soon as he approached, the Great Wall of Desperation resisted it, and even the sturdy body began to freeze. He hurried back away from the dangerous place.

What the hell is going on. Is it the same anomaly as the dragon in the Bright Moon Mountain Range, or should it be? Zhao Mai stopped the car and looked for clues from the data. Through the few words in the source, he found that "the strange spirits cannot cross the Great Wall, and the ghouls created by the strange ghosts cannot cross the Great Wall." Another quote was said by Banyan Stark, who had become an undead being: "The Great Wall of Desperation has a spell that no one like me can approach or pass through." ”

If you dig deeper into the data, you can also find that there are several passages under the Great Wall of Desperation, protected by powerful runes, which only the Night's Watch in Black can order to open, and it is from this way that Sam the "Killer" returned to the Black Castle. If we continue to analyze the performance of the Great Wall of Desperation in actual battles, we can find that the wildlings can climb over from the Great Wall of Desperation, because they are also the blood of the ancestors and are not strange, but the giants are affected. In the siege battle, the king of giants who entered the tunnel was successfully "killed" by six recruits. No one saw the process of the battle, but this matter was infinitely weird, and it may also be related to the fact that the King of Giants was not "invited to pass", maybe he was like Zhao Mai's car, which was infinitely suppressed, or even directly crushed to death.

The only monsters that have passed through the Wall of Desperation are a few corpses of the Night's Watch that later turned into ghouls. If you think about the episode, you can also find something suspicious: the night watchman sees the horses and the fallen corpse returning from the northern desperate situation, so he "opens the tunnel door and lets them come" before the corpse reaches Castle Black. All in all, Zhao Mai's theory has no counterexamples in the entire book, and it explains all the relevant plots, so I think it's right.

"So, I'm also weird?" Zhao Mai pondered for a moment, he was not from this world, and he did not have the blood of "ancestors, Andals, and Roynas", so he was really a monster from another world, so the wall prevented him from coming and going. In other words, if you want to go to the other side, you need the consent of the night watchman?

Maybe there is another way? Zhao Mai thought about it and thought of the spear of the heart. If it's magic or psychic abilities, the Spear of the Heart can be suppressed, and it can protect the wielder from harm, and perhaps this ability can be applied to the Great Wall of Desperation.

"Little Huahua, I'll use the spear of the heart. Zhao Mai stretched out his hand in, and his hands were empty for a long time. He looked into the car, and Xiaohua was drooping her head, shrinking her petals, curling her leaves, and twisting her stems, as if she was avoiding Zhao Mai's gaze. In the flower pot, only the last fragment of the former heartwood spear remained.

"What, eat it all?" Zhao Mai said in surprise: "Can you eat the artifact? No, what are you eating it for?"

Xiaohua quietly opened a petal and whispered to Zhao Mai's heart: "I want to grow up......"

"Oh, let's eat it. Zhao Mai looked at Xiaohua's embarrassed and ashamed look, so he had to comfort her and said, "I promised to give you the heart wood spear, can I blame you?"

As soon as the words fell, the little flower opened all its petals and arranged them in the pot with a happy look.

It seems that the only way to get them to agree to this should not be difficult, right? Zhao Mai didn't want to run in vain on his own adventure, so he always had to try this possibility.

And so, on a cold morning, a carriage creaked with snow and approached the gates of Castle Black. (To be continued.) )
