Chapter 257: Come one by one

Samwell Tully held the magma-like potion in his hands, and sweat rained down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He was afraid that he would accidentally shake his hand and drop the potion on the ground. If this is a dragon potion, then a small bottle is enough to kill everyone around.

Count Randolph Tully, Sam's father, once told him about the power of dragon potions. During the reign of the Mad King Elise Targaryen, he recruited dragon fire sorcerers into the palace to make dragon potions for him. He had seen Ned Stark's father and brother burned to death in front of the Iron Throne by dragon potions, which led to the fear of the Targaryens among the princes of the world, and they began to look for a way to overthrow them.

"The two men were melted away, like a lump of copper falling into molten steel. Sam remembered his father's expression, and the always fearless Lord Randolph would have a look of fear on his face. "Although the person has melted, it is as if he is not dead, and his soul is still there. Their miserable cries rang out incessantly, even louder and louder as the flames rose......"

Zhao Mai saw Sam's nervousness, so he reached out and took the potion. "Don't worry, you can't order this thing, it's okay to eat it. It's not a dragon potion after all, it's a little more advanced than that. ”

Intrigued, Jon asked, "Is this for your treatment?"

"It helps me cope with the situation at hand, but it doesn't cure the disease. This thing is actually an ointment for weapons. You can smear it on the blade, or submerge the arrow. This way, your weapon will have the power of fire, which will last about ten minutes. However, there are also disadvantages, as sharper weapons such as swords can be softened by the effects of flames, and can easily break. Only blunt weapons such as warhammers are less affected. ”

He took some of the potion in the palm of his hand, and sure enough, as he said, it didn't hurt his hand at all, and it was like a soft clay ointment. Zhao Mai smeared the red "jelly" on his chest and rubbed it vigorously, and saw the flames rise and burn along his chest.

"It's all right, this flame doesn't burn living creatures. Zhao Mai waved his hand: "This is the fire of pure life, from the natural force, not the fire of the elements, nor the fire of magic." ”

"It's amazing!" Piper reached out and touched the fire on Zhao Mai's chest, only a feeling of being soaked in warm water didn't feel hot. Everyone stretched out their hands to "roast the fire" on Zhao Mai, and even Sam had the courage to touch it. Zhao Mai smiled, and his face quickly turned rosy. Everyone was also infected by this emotion and laughed.

With the help of natural pyrotechnic potions, Zhao Mai broke through the layers of protection of the alien rune and uncovered its most primitive core and secrets, which was equivalent to getting the blueprint of the alien. The rest of the time is to slowly crack the diagram, understand the design ideas and manufacturing methods contained in it, and then whether it is to make improvements or targeted destruction, it will be much simpler.

Especially when there is a little flower who "knows everything" next to him. Zhao Mai used his psychic ability to reproduce what he saw in his mind and shared it with Xiaohua so that she could see what she felt. Although it was the first time she had seen anything from the Westeros continent, since it was all based on the Force of Nature, it was only different in terms of application, and she would always gain something over time.

At dawn, Commander Mormont came to check again, and found that Zhao Mai was much better, so he ordered the night watchmen to move on. Their goal remains the same, it is still the Ancestral Fist Peak, and it is still more than two weeks away from here.

"Elder Bear, I met Custer in the woods, and he was about to sacrifice his son. Zhao Mai found an opportunity and said to Mormont: "I couldn't save that child. ”

"yes...... Alas. If it were really because he couldn't feed the children, I would gladly take these children and let them put on black clothes and become the children of the night watch, and grow up in care, and the night watch will be short of manpower. But the gods of the savages are more cruel than my gods. It was his sacrifice...... Alas, it was his way of praying. ”

"The only reason I didn't kill Custer is that you still need him, and the Night's Watch still needs him. Zhao Mai said directly: "I am still a guest of the night watchman, and I always have to take care of the master's thoughts. ”

"I thank you for your concern with me. But who will thank me for my concerns?" Elder Xiong sighed: "Mike, I also hate Custer, and I want to strangle him. But when my Ranger brothers are in danger outside the fortress and need a place to take refuge, only Custer can open the gates. Thinking of his brother who might have died because he had nowhere to turn for help, Custer's death was not something to celebrate. ”

Zhao Mai nodded, he could understand Xiong Lao's concerns. He could say a hundred things that would have been like you, but all of them were an afterthought. Reality is already a fact, and only "how and how from now on" makes sense. Perhaps only the detached who can time travel are qualified to blame the mistakes of the past, and Zhao Mai will not blame Xiong Lao and the Night's Watch for their past policies now, but will focus more on solving the problems they are facing now.

"One more thing, I met a strange ghost, with blue eyes and a cloud-like body, which is quite powerful. The body can move silently with the wind, ordinary weapons can't hurt it, and its ice crystal sword can't be stopped by ordinary weapons. That's what it did. Zhao Mai said: "Old Xiong, the strange ghosts are not legends, the night watchman has fought with them, countless times, these are in the library of the Bachelor's Tower, recorded in the classics. The wild people outside the Cypriots are not your only enemies. ”

Elder Xiong nodded, but sighed again: "This is the weakest period in the history of the Night's Watch, but we have to face multiple enemies. I can only choose to solve them one by one, first the savages. Master Aemon has read the information you have put together, and the Great Wall of Desperation can stop the actions of the strange ghosts, isn't it?"

"Yes, the Great Wall of Desperation is magical. ”

"Well, I heard from Custer that Mance Red, a traitor to the Night's Watch, now calls himself the King of the Savages. He is looking around for a magical item that is said to melt down the Great Wall and pave the way for his own march. We have to stop him from doing something like that. ”

"You're just over 300 people. ”

"Three hundred people, against the anger of the entire Beiye flood. Xiong Lai's eyes were resolute: "As a warrior, I can't think of a greater scene!"

Zhao Mai didn't have the ability to scatter beans into soldiers, and it was impossible for him to make the scale of the night watchman expand a hundredfold at once. "Old Bear, I researched a potion and taught it to Sam. It will be useful when you have defeated the wildlings and need to fight against the strangers. ”

Elder Xiong nodded, taking this matter to heart. The two men rode side by side for a long time and remained silent. In the end, Xiong Lao still asked, "Mike, are you a strange ghost, why can't you cross the Great Wall?"

"I'm not a ghost, but I'm not an ordinary person, but don't get me wrong, I'm not a god or anything like that, and I'm not a spirit. Zhao Mai said: "I was just a passerby, but now I am a friend of the night watchman, and I will be your comrade-in-arms in the future, it's as simple as that." ”

"You once said that you were going to look for something outside the plug, what exactly?"

"What I seek is knowledge, a way to improve myself, a magic buried in history. Zhao Mai said: "Now, I have to find someone to settle accounts along the way!" (To be continued.) )
