A runaway aristocratic heir has returned, what is there to make a fuss about at this critical moment of human existence? But in Egg's eyes, this matter instantly jumped N levels, surpassed all other work, and ranked first among the matters that need to be dealt with.

As the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch and the Supreme Commander of the Wall Garrison, Egg needs to ask the last boy who returned from the Stronghold alive about the situation north of the Wall and the movements of the dead army, determine when the enemy will launch a final attack, and calculate how much time he has left to prepare; As a time-traveler who knows the plot, he must be the first to come into contact with Brandon Stark, who has now mostly "evolved" into the Green Prophet.

Whether or not Bran was inherited or robbed, he was the second living supernatural power that Egg had access to after Melisandre. And from a standpoint, he is also absolutely on the side of the living like the red-robed woman, as a "deluxe version" of the shapeshifter, the green prophet's ability to detect the enemy through the fish beam wood and the crow is of immeasurable value, if he can take it for his own use......

Iger had countless reasons to value Bran's return, and he acted quickly: he put aside everything he was doing, set off with his cronies, and hurried to the Long Night Castle in the face of the howling cold wind.

This ancient fortress is much more complete and decent than the last time Iger came, and thanks to Egger's promises that he would continue to retain his residency after the war, and that he would not be driven away unless he left the Night's Watch on his own initiative, several mountain clans had gained a foothold along the Great Wall and gradually adapted to life in stone houses, and after they began to make it their home, they had already begun to repair and expand it in their spare time...... Among them, the result of the Flint clan is that there are now far fewer tents and crumbling bricks and stones in the Long Night Castle, and instead there are new houses of wood and stone that have risen from the ground.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief. Hearing the news, Torgenham Flint rushed to the door, and reported the situation to Egger in a rough voice: "This time I can close the small door of the gate, and arrange for a good young man to guard the door of the Bran son day and night, and he will not leave even if the Great Wall collapses, and promise not to let him run again!"

It seems that the last time he let the son of the feudal monarch disappear under his nose, it left a huge psychological shadow on old Flint - he didn't even realize that there was anything wrong with treating Brandon Stark like a prisoner at the moment.

"Well done. Iger threw the reins of his horse to his subordinates and walked briskly towards the hall with his master: "When and how did he appear?"

"You said you were going to send someone to watch the well, and we have always strictly enforced it, and this morning the first sentry who entered the kitchen heard a noise below when he passed through the well, and after sending someone to investigate, he found that a young woman and a crippled boy had appeared at the bottom of the well. Because we would remove the hanging basket and rope at night, the woman alone could not pull the boy up the well, so she made a noise. Old Flinter spread his hands: "Of course, we now know that the woman is Miss Mera Reed, the boy is Brandon Stark, and as for the big boy and the ...... of the Johan Reed."

The big boy and the Nine Warriors must have died, and Bran's wolf "Summer" was probably unlucky—a brute was obviously of little meaning to Patriarch Flinth, and he probably didn't notice the lack of the Icewolf.

Iger frowned: it seems that the storm caused by his own butterfly seems to have had a limited impact on the outside of the plug. Not only was Bran's plot of coming out of the ice wall and becoming a Green Prophet not stopped, but now even the loss of personnel has not changed at all. I don't know if this is the inevitable outcome outlined by the old green prophet, or ......

"I'll ask for clarification. Egger nodded: "You go and get busy, take care of the horses, arrange for someone to prepare the car, and I will take Bran back to Houguan Town when I leave." ”

"Good. ”

......

The commander of the Long Night Castle appointed by Iger also stepped forward to give the commander a brief introduction to the current situation of the fortress, but he didn't mean to do so, and after a few words, he interrupted the conversation and asked the other party to take him to Bran's temporary room.

When the Night's Watch arrived at Bran's residence with the Commander-in-Chief, Mera Reed pushed the door open just in time for Bran to return to the Wall. Egger was already familiar with the girl's name, but it was the first time he had seen a real person: she had green eyes and long brown hair, she was short and slender, and even though her body was covered in thick fur, she exuded a sense of strength and vitality that did not match her gender and size, and it was no wonder that she escaped from Winterfell with a crippled boy and returned safely after a trip outside the city.

But she is such a capable and strong huntress, but her eyes are red and swollen at the moment, and she looks like she has just cried.

She turned around and saw Egg, although she didn't know him, but seeing the commander of the Long Night Fort behind him looking like a "little brother", she also guessed that the man in front of her was probably the new commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, the legendary Stranger Slayer.

"I'm sorry, sir. She wiped her tears, choked up and said, "This time...... I'm sorry I've caused you too much trouble. ”

This is not a polite remark, Mera and his brother ran away with Bran without saying a word, and how much manpower and effort did it take the people of the North, the defenders of the Wall, and the mountain clansmen to search for and capture them? Even the accident of the attack on the commander-in-chief of Mormont occurred while dealing with the case of Mera being harassed by the new grantees.

But as a noble lady, she has caused trouble for the Night's Watch, who can help her? Now that she has gone to great lengths to bring Bran back to the Long Night Castle alive, she looks helpless as she has just been bullied, and can she be scolded for not doing it?

"You kids, you're really capable of tossing. Iger sighed, "What's going on?"

"I ...... I don't know......" Mera's eyes moistened again, and she shook her head laboriously, "I don't know what stupid thing I did with my brother, Bran...... Bran, too, seemed to be a different person, and he was weird all over his body......"

"Well, I understand. This sentence is not comfort, Iger really understands, and after a few words of comfort, he patted Mera on the shoulder, "No need to say any more, go and have a good rest." When I'm done talking to Bran and coming back to Houguan Town with us, I'll arrange for someone to take you home later. ”

......

After persuading the tearful Miss Reed to leave, Iger dismissed the unrelated people, told the guards to wait in the nearest shelter, and pushed the door into Bran's temporary room.

The thickened wooden door slowly opened with a creak, and the damp heat on his face made his eyes sour for a while, and Egg took a breath and stood still for a second before closing the door and surveying the room.

The room was full of human smell, and it was clearly not empty before vacating Bran to stay. Staring at the second Stark like a prisoner, the Flint clan didn't forget that this was their own feudal brother—the firewood in the fireplace was blazing, making the house warm as spring. Tables, chairs, beds, pillows, sheets, ...... Everything necessary for life is available, and Iger can see at a glance that all of these are the most high-end things that can be obtained along the Great Wall and even in the entire land grant.

In a large chair in front of the bed sat a young and handsome boy, none other than Brandon Stark.

It had only been a day since he had returned to Fort Night, and apparently no one had had time to get the wheelchair that Bran needed, and now he was nestled in a large chair facing the doorway, with a blanket on his knees, as if waiting for Egg to appear.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief. The boy was the first to speak, "Hello." ”

"Hello, Bran. This is not the first time the two have met, and there are even some entanglements that are too complicated to explain, but Iger has not seen them. He grabbed a chair and sat down calmly across from the boy, looking at each other carefully.

Compared to the little Shota who performed acrobatics on the top of the wall when they first met, it was a pity that Bran was now sitting quietly in a chair. But the faint sorrow and worry diffused between the eyebrows and eyes, combined with the beautiful appearance inherited from his mother, unexpectedly created the overall effect of a melancholy and beautiful boy.

"I'm glad to see you're still alive, but as the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, I can't talk to you much, and I hope you'll answer some of my questions. Iger unceremoniously asked, "Why did you guys go to the plug, and how did you end up in the well? What the hell happened to the other side of the ice wall? I'm in a complete mess right now about what happened to you, if you can, can you give me a brief explanation?" ”

These are all questions that Iger already has a rough idea of the answer, and the reason why he asks them first is because he has already established an overall policy: never reveal his identity as a time-traveler and the secrets of the plot.

Since you can't expose it, you have to ask questions that match your identity.

"It's a very ...... Very long story. Branna's face, which was a little pale due to exercise and lack of nutrition, was expressionless: "If we want to talk, we can all go without sleep tonight." But now that you're the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, shouldn't there be something more important than mine?"

Bran didn't want to tell the story, but Egger was at ease, what if the kid really told the story from beginning to end, and already knew whether he would listen or not?

"I'd like to know when the Wraiths will attack the Wall, how the Night's Watch will defend them, how they will kill all these ghosts, the question is, can you answer these questions?"

"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, Commander-in-Chief. Bran suddenly burst out with a thoughtless sentence, "Thank you for being to my family after I fell downstairs...... Especially Arya's care. And coincidentally, I can really answer your question right now, because for reasons you can't understand, I can see everything, everything that's going on, everything that's been happening. The night is coming, and the warriors who fight the darkness need eyes to see the situation, and I can help you. ”
