Chapter 11: Turnaround

Such a coincidence?

Egger certainly knows what Maester Aemon is saying - the death of the Prime Minister represents the beginning of the main plot. This was an important point in time, but he was really in no mood to think about it now, the escape for nearly ten days and ten nights exhausted his physical strength and spirit, and although it didn't take much energy to face the answers of several high-level night watchmen just now, it made him feel as if the last drop of his brain was dried by thought, he was almost carried to the confinement room by two rangers, and immediately fell asleep when he touched the bed.

The days of semi-confinement lasted for several days, but the life of imprisonment, which was extremely painful for ordinary people, made the traveler happy, he ate and slept every day, did not even participate in the exercises, and was happy and comfortable for dozens of hours, and finally recovered his vitality.

After enough rest, it's time to worry about your future and fate.

***

Littlefinger has killed the previous Prime Minister, and Robert will invite Eddard Stark, Warden of the North, to take over the position during the King's Northern Tour...... Immediately after that, Game of Thrones will begin.

None of this has much to do with the Night's Watch, except for the fact that the dead Jon Arryn is the Guardian of the Eastern Mirror, the Duke of Eagle's Nest, the ruler of the Vale, and the allegiance of Weimar Royce and his family. It is unknown how "Bronze Jon" will feel when he receives the news of Fengjun's death and his son's disappearance at the same time, but if he is lucky, he may give up pursuing himself as a deserter who "killed" his son?

Iger laughed self-deprecatingly, pinning his hopes on someone else's sloppiness or kindness was a gamble, and even more stupid in this cruel world.

The wrath of the Royce family is far away, and he has to face another burning problem now: Bunyan Stark has been summoned by his eldest brother to Winterfell to participate in the banquet to welcome the king, and the day this guy returns to the Wall, it will be when he himself leads the rangers north to find the Wraith and Weima Royce...... At that time, will he, who was named by the Chief Ranger as a guide, be wiped out like the Ranger squad in the original plot, or will he be turned into the living dead by the Children of the Forest like Bunyan?

Either way, it wasn't a fate he was willing to accept.

Something had to be done.

From the black-clad brothers, Egger learns that Gary has woken up from his coma, and decides to wait until lunch is over to visit him. If he had the opportunity to be alone, he might be able to ask about the way through the Grand Canyon, and although he was restricted from going to the stables to lead his horses or leave the camp, he had no problem walking around Castle Black.

However, before he could make his decision, he was summoned by the higher-ups of the Night's Watch.

Agger trepidantly walked into the conference room and found the scene recreating the day he interrogated, except that there was a person sitting in the interrogation table that he had not expected.

"Will, you're not dead!?"

"Egger!" the other exclaimed in surprise, the speaker looking rather haggard - Egger and Gary rode the only two horses left, and the horse that Weimar escaped from had actually returned to Castle Black on its own earlier than the previous two, which meant that the poacher had fled back to the Great Wall without horses and supplies, and he had taken longer and experienced more difficulties, and he would never have made it back to Castle Black alive if it weren't for the more extensive experience of survival in the wild brought by the hunter's life in the past and the fact that he had not been discovered by the ghosts.

Will, who was not fat in the first place, looked like skin and bones at the moment, and there was even half a bowl of hot porridge on the table in front of him...... He was interrogated while drinking porridge: "Seven gods bless, if it weren't for you, I would definitely die!"

......

"What?" Iger didn't understand, the other party's ability to survive was all based on his ability, and he had a half-dime relationship?

"I hid in a tree that day, and watched Sir Weimar be hacked to death by the goof, and it was a long time before I came down from the tree when they were all gone. Will picked up the bowl with his hand trembling and took another sip of porridge, making a hot hissing sound: "I was about to find something to bring back as physical evidence...... He...... Sir Weimar got up from the ground, his body was slashed terribly, but his eyes were shining blue, and he reached out to strangle me, his ...... It's terrifying, if it weren't for your last reminder to watch out for the dead, I would never have reacted!"

I didn't expect that the casual words of being a dead horse and a live horse doctor under my extreme nervousness actually saved a comrade-in-arms who would have died. But what do you call yourself now?

He glanced around and saw something on the table in front of several of the legion's top officials.

From the hilt, it was Weimar Royce's sword, made of better steel, and it held out more in the confrontation with the Alien weapon, but the result was a more complete shattering: except for the tip and hilt of the sword about a palm-long sword, and a section of the base of the blade remained intact, the middle of the sword body was like a tree struck by lightning and it was hard to feel that Will- After witnessing the terrifying scenes of strange ghosts killing people and resurrecting the dead, he was able to calm down and collect most of the broken sword fragments, and trekked through mountains and rivers for more than ten days to bring them back to the Great Wall.

Now, Weimar's broken sword ...... To be precise, the broken sword has been basically "assembled" by Commander Mormont or who he is, as he said a few days ago, the fractures of the fragments can be neatly docked with each other, like broken glass, and there is almost zero deformation after being put back together.

This is an extremely powerful piece of evidence for what he has said! Egger's heart moved, and he suddenly realized that something might turn in his favor.

"You guys, take Will down. Bunyan Stark, who was sitting on the sidelines, spoke, "Don't give him too much food at once, the hungry won't notice that they're having enough to eat, and rest is the first thing." ”

Will was carried out of the room by two night watchmen, both of whom were still asking Egg how he knew the dead man would get up, and when the room was quiet, Bunyan motioned for the traveler to sit down.

"What Will said is not much different from what you and Gary said, and looking at his appearance, I don't think it was the three of you who colluded to make him come back a few days late. "I now have reason to believe that some kind of strange enemy has indeed appeared north of the Wall...... Maybe it's a ghost, maybe it's something else. ”

Will's words weren't the only thing that changed the minds of the Night's Watch higher-ups, in fact, during the days that Egg had eaten and slept, they questioned the blacksmiths of the Night's Watch and conducted a series of experiments, and it turned out that no one had been able to make the standard steel swords issued by the Legion look like a wraith. And the broken sword that the poachers brought back this morning was even more exaggerated, and in any case, Mormont did feel abnormal.

"I'm about to leave for Winterfell, so get ready and hit the road with me. Bunyan took the Commander-in-Chief's words, "I want you to report your experience to the Duke of Winterfell so that you can apply for support...... Take the broken swords of the three of you, make a draft in your belly, and narrate it as quickly and concisely as possible, King Robert is about to arrive in the North, and my brotherhood is busy. ”

Maester Aemon nodded, adding, "Don't be too deliberate, just like you did when you reported to us a few days ago, you did well that day." ”

"Understood. Egger suppressed the excitement in his heart: "I...... I'll go and prepare now. ”
