Chapter 211: A Word of Confusion
"Mera, Jiujian—nice to meet you, you can call me Egger. ”
The night watchman pretended to know nothing about the two of them, and smiled quietly, but his heart was already making a big wave: he seemed to be relaxed too soon—the north may indeed have no characters who can restrain him, but he has the extraordinary power of "inhuman"!
Compared with the old gods and cold gods, Lan Li or something is just a small role.
At the moment, Jiujian Reed wants to see himself, is it because of the boy's personal curiosity about his "well-known night watchman", or is it by the Green Prophet...... Or what message did the old gods send at their behest?
"Lord Egger, we've all heard about the disaster going on north side of the Wall. My father originally wanted to send some soldiers north to help, but the war in the south suddenly broke out, and Robb Stark took too many men with him, and the rest was barely enough to protect himself. The girl was a little embarrassed and explained: "So it is impossible to send people, but we still gathered some food and grass as much as possible and sent them to the north, which can be regarded as making some contribution to the defenders of the Great Wall." ”
"Very well, on behalf of the Night's Watch, please allow me to thank the Reed family for their assistance. Egger said in official words, smiling at the girl, staring at her face slightly dizzy.
The way Mela looked at herself reminded Iger of Nina, who had almost turned posturing into competence by now. The dress and momentum are all big people, and with a bunch of rumors and rumors that add fuel and vinegar, it is really easy to arouse the admiration of the girls: "Are you returning from the south to go to the Great Wall to solve the troubles of the wild people and strange ghosts?" ”
Solving the troubles of the Wild Men and the Strange Spirits is best if it can solve the problem, but he didn't leave King's Landing specifically to be a hero. Egger nodded solemnly: "Exactly, the Great Wall is facing a great crisis that has never been encountered in the ages, and as a member of the night watchman, at this critical moment, it is natural that he cannot stay in the south to enjoy the blessings." ”
The girl seemed to be completely convinced: "With a legendary person like you guarding the Great Wall, the people of the north can breathe a sigh of relief! I also express my gratitude and admiration to the Chief Logistics Officer on behalf of all the ancestors and descendants!"
Mera must have read the book "The Fantastic Adventures of the Night Watch", and she looked shy and happy to see the hero...... Full of little girl's look. Iger knew that the girl was not the key person, and after a friendly conversation with her, he turned his gaze to Jiujian and made eye contact with the boy with the "green vision".
As a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, Jiujian had a maturity and seriousness far beyond his age, and the two looked at each other silently for a while, without saying anything, but Egg was stared at a little hairy by his green eyes. In order to break the silence, he had to take the initiative to speak: "I don't know the two of you...... What's going on in Winterfell right now?"
***
Meaningless question, Egg actually knew exactly what the Reed siblings were going to do in Winterfell: many things that should have happened didn't happen or were greatly delayed because he drove Littlefinger away with a note—including Theon's rebellion and capture of Winterfell. The two young people in front of them should be waiting for a good opportunity to "abduct Bran and take him outside the Great Wall" at this moment!
There is no doubt that as the second son of the Stark family, he has both legs disabled...... In the absence of chaos in Winterfell, it is an impossible task to quietly leave with Bran and run to the north of the Great Wall, and I am afraid that the green prophet outside the city has already been waiting for him.
Mera stammered, "Uh...... We're here, serving Lord of Winterfell, Bran Stark—"
"I saw you in my dreams, Night's Watchman. Jiujian interrupted Mera's empty and unconvincing explanation, "There's a blood-clotted blizzard coming north that only a night watchman from a foreign land can stop. Your location is on the Great Wall, not here, you should head north as soon as possible. ”
Egger looked at Jiujian in surprise.
The boy in front of him was undoubtedly the spokesman and servant of the Green Prophet, but there was one thing that Iger couldn't tell: did the Green Prophet activate the prophecy ability in Jiujian's body, allowing him to have some of the Green Prophet's abilities, or did he just control his dreams and senses to give Jiujian the illusion that he could "dream of prophecy"?
This distinction affects another very important point: what Jiu Jian said at this moment was the "future" he saw, or was it the Green Prophet's deception and confusion of himself through his mouth? Is it possible that it was the Green Prophet who experienced what he had "almost stopped Bran from falling", and was afraid that he would do something bad again, so he sent someone over as soon as he arrived in Winterfell and said something strange to help him go?
......
"I'm planning to leave north tomorrow. Egger thought about a lot of things in his head, but he didn't figure out any of them, but he quickly responded: "Son, I don't believe in your dreams...... But I'll go to the Wall, not because I heard from you, but because I'm a night watchman. ”
"I hope so, remember, 'your place is on the Wall', stop running around. Jiu Jian repeated it with a serious face, then turned his head and walked in the direction he came: "Don't bother!"
"I'm sorry, my brother is always like that. But he can dream of green, dreams that are bound to become reality, so please don't ignore what he says. Mera glanced apologetically at Egger, turned after her brother, and quickly disappeared in front of the Night's Watch.
What does that mean? Egger was in a fog, and the Green Prophet sent Jiu Jian to come, but he only said a word, what did he want to do? Couldn't he just say a few more words like the lizard's prophecy to the Mother of Dragons, so that he could ponder and analyze it?
I was bound to go to the Great Wall on this trip, so why bother sending people to urge him? Could it be that the old fellow of the Green Prophet had a grudge against him for almost doing something bad last time, so he prepared some trap for himself in the north, urging him to hurry up and drill into it? But didn't Melisandre say that she had already left the mark of the Red God on herself, and the old gods would never dare to hurt herself easily?
Filled with doubts, Egg continued towards the gates of Winterfell. Caitlin ordered a room for him, but he decided to stay in an inn in a winter town outside the city, to arrange work close to his own people, and to be afraid that Arya, a girl who didn't know how to live or die, would do the ridiculous thing of burrowing herself under the bed in the middle of the night. Right now, it's better to be in Winterfell than on the way north, so that the Starks find out that they slept with their young lady, even if they didn't do anything...... It's not something that can be explained in a few words.
......
As he was about to leave the gates of Winterfell, the gatekeeper's comments caught his attention, and he pretended to chat, and with a black suit that automatically increased his favorability, he quickly came up with the latest exciting news: Ranri Baratheon was assassinated on the eve of the Northern Alliance and Stannis's counterattack on King's Landing, and the Stormarmy and the Riverbend Army were fighting in King's Landing...... With the help of the Northern Alliance, it didn't take much effort for Stannis to reclaim King's Landing and reascend to the Iron Throne!
"Another great victory, it is said that the captured prisoners could not even fit in their cells. If it weren't for the timely arrival of Randolph Tully's army, I'm afraid that even the little lady of the Tyrell family would have been caught by our Lord Robb to warm the bed. ”
"Randolph Tully is also a famous player in the world, and the southerners have blown him into the sky...... But when you meet us northerners, don't you fight once and lose once? No, two fights, both times it was difficult to escape, hahaha......"
"But this thing is also quite strange, isn't it rumored that Loras is a man from Lan Li, how could he suddenly kill his own king lover?"
"Maybe it's because I saw my lover marry my sister, and I shared the bed with her every night, and I was jealous and injured by mistake. ”
"Kind of makes sense—"
Iger listened to the conversation of several guards and was stunned.
Lan Li's death was expected, and it was even an accident that Stannis delayed for a month to let Melisandre do it. As for "Loras killed his lover" or something, it is completely impossible - but right now, he is really in a dilemma: he is going north to avoid being dragged on the thief ship that will sink sooner or later, and the source of trouble he wants to hide from is gone, should he immediately go south to King's Landing to continue the expansion of the Night's Watch industry, or should he really go north to the Great Wall to solve the danger of the wild man and the strange spirits, as he promised to Mela just now?
Jiu Jian just came over and told himself that "your location is on the Great Wall", it turned out that he was advising on the choice he was about to face!
As he walked out of the gates of Winterfell, Egg pondered in a state of confusion, and when he reached the door of the "inn" where his team was staying, he saw a bunch of soldiers and employees drinking and chatting, and he suddenly came to his senses: he was no longer the little man who had nothing, but the head of a force. He is now responsible for countless subordinates and followers, how can when it comes to transcendent existence, or will he be beaten back to his original form at once, and become as indecisive and full of thoughts as an ordinary person?
If the Green Prophet wants to deal with himself, he doesn't need to send Jiujian to say a word of nonsense to make himself vigilant in advance, if he wants to be safe, he is the best choice. Is there a contradiction between going north and south? Why do you have to make a decision today because of Jiujian's words? With the energy you have now and the contribution that the Night's Watch industry can provide to the Legion, who can force you to stop you when you meet Mormont in person, report on what you have done in the past year, and decide to go south and return to King's Landing when your mind changes?
If you don't know what the Green Prophet wants to do and what means he has, then he doesn't exist! I will go north according to the original plan, inspect Houguan Town, guide the construction of the base area, and then participate in the defense of the Great Wall...... As for how to go next, think about it after doing these two things!
