Chapter 462: The Stark Family (1)

When Pelop learned that Li Yaoyang had written a masterpiece, she immediately rushed back and grabbed the manuscript.

"Are you concerned?" Li Yaoyang was speechless.

Pelop waved his hand:

"You don't understand!"

I didn't understand, so I asked someone to bring him a cup of coffee, and I didn't bother him, I rubbed my wrist by myself, and my writing hands were sore.

Pelop got carried away as soon as he looked at it, as if the tsunami and earthquake could not interrupt him.

Li Yaoyang didn't leave, he knew that Pelop would definitely discuss it with him after reading it, which was also a common practice.

Four hours later, Li Yaoyang's buttocks were numb.

"Tell me about Daenerys."

Dragon Mother?

"What are you talking about?"

"I don't like her!"

"Huh?"

Li Yaoyang was stunned:

"Why?"

"Daenerys was taken away by the largest dragon that fell from the sky when the second son and the slave owners attacked the Colosseum of Meereen, and she fell back into the tribe of Dothraki.

Generally speaking, she just performed her previous in the Hall of Immortality, as well as the miracle of not being burned to death, to everyone again.

Then he easily conquered the Dothraki and took them under his command, and then led them back to Meereen to attack the slavers.

This is probably also something I don't like about her very much, because I think this character is special..., damn, I don't know how to describe it, everything good things are taken by her. ”

Li Yaoyang added in his heart: Mary Sue.

“… A very weak little girl at first, it seems to be useless, but her brother and other men use it as a bargaining chip, which is equivalent to marrying her to the wild man of Dothraki and giving her brother an army.

Such a person, who is very weak, later became Kalixi on the prairie, the mother of dragons who could not be burned to death, and so on.

If it weren't for the natural Targaryens, they wouldn't have been able to do this, and if she was ugly, Drogo would have cut her off as soon as he saw her, so in general I think she's very..."

Li Yaoyang nodded:

"Well, this character is throughout the story, and it is impossible to change."

"I know, you don't need to change it, it's just pure complaining."

"Hmm~ you go on."

"By the way, can you elaborate on the Stark family?"

"House Stark originated 8,000 years ago in the Age of Heroes, and their ancestors followed their ancestors to Westeros.

It is said that during that time there was a long night that lasted for an entire generation, and the ensuing strange spirits wreaked havoc on the entire continent.

Legend has it that one of the 'Last Heroes' defeated the Wraiths with the help of the Children of the Forest, and then Brandon, the patriarch of House Stark, led his people to build the Wall of Despair in the north, and built Winterfell (meaning Winter Coming, or Winter Defeat) where the Wraiths were defeated.

They ruled the North for 8,000 years under the title of 'King of the North'.

Even during the later Andal invasions, the Stark-led North never succumbed to foreign force and religious invasions, and maintained its beliefs in the Old Gods. ”

Throughout the world of Ice and Fire, there are very few families that can last for 8,000 years, and there is absolutely no one like Stark who pays so much attention to his own traditions and beliefs in the Old Gods.

They always remember the stories, legends and myths that others have long forgotten.

Pelop pinched his chin and said:

"I don't think Stark's relationship with the Wraiths is normal."

Li Yaoyang smiled slightly:

"That's right, Stark's relationship with the Wraiths is very interesting, the crown of the King of the North is made of pig iron, this ordinary metal has no more value than its weight, and it is precisely this metal that the Wraiths hate the most.

Beneath Winterfell is a large stone chamber with the corpses of past Stark family members lying in the sarcophagus.

The statue standing next to the sarcophagus also holds a cast iron sword.

Is it true that the Starks have been saying that 'there must be a Stark in Winterfell'?

How the alien was defeated, I didn't elaborate, leaving it to the reader to figure it out for themselves.

And in northern legend, the 'Last Hero' finally cobbled together an army (the predecessor of the Night's Watch) with the assistance of the Children of the Forest to defeat the Wraiths in the Battle of Dawn and banish them further north.

However, such a victory seemed to have come too easily, and the wrath that ravaged the continent was easily defeated by a few humans and the children of the forest.

The story details how terrifying the fighting abilities of the Aliens are, and they will not be easily defeated, let alone retreat on their own initiative. ”

Pelop was surprised and said:

"So, this 'Last Hero' is a Stark, most likely the brother of Brandon the 'Builder', who made some kind of agreement with the Wraiths to evacuate Westeros on their own initiative."

Li Yaoyang gave a thumbs up: "That's right! ”

There is a detail that states that the Wraiths can make a pact with humans, as was the case with Custer, the wildling who lived north of the Wall, who sacrificed the boys born to him and his 'wives' to the Wraiths in exchange for his 'fortress' from the Wraiths.

In fact, if it weren't for such an agreement, the so-called "fortress" of Caster's wooden fences would not have been able to withstand any attack.

So the question is, what deal did the mysterious Stark make with the Wraith?

Why is it that as a Stark, there is not much recorded in history?

Perhaps his agreement with the strangers was also to sacrifice children regularly in exchange for peace?

It may have worked in the early days, but later it seemed unlikely due to the presence of the Wall and the Night's Watch.

The more likely speculation is that the Stark's agreement with the Wraith is a marriage contract.

This crazy assumption is not groundless, but let's put aside the reasons for this, and then skip a few hundred years to talk about the thirteenth commander of the Night's Watch.

The young commander was also a Stark, but bizarrely, there was no previous record of the Night's Watch commander, which was strange for such an important force guarding the Wall.

During his time as a commander, he fell in love with a man whose "skin was as pale as the moon and his eyes were as blue as stars... The woman whose skin is as cold as ice" is no different from the text that describes the ghost.

After chasing him north of the Great Wall to marry this woman, he gave his "soul" to the other party.

He brought her back to Nightcastle (the main stronghold of the Night's Watch), where he called himself the "Night King" (not the same thing as the Night King in the series).

He coerced or enticed the Night's Watch brothers to renounce their oaths and serve his kingdom.

He ruled with his queen for thirteen years in the Nighthold, before being overthrown by the Stark family in the south and Joman, the "King of the Outside World" in the north, who discovered that he was secretly sacrificing to the Wraiths, and the Stark family destroyed all information about him, and his name became taboo.

"Some say he's a Bolton, some say it's the Magna clan, the Amber family, or even the Woodford family before they ruled Bear Island, but I say neither, he's a Stark."

The story told by the old granny to Bran makes it clear that she believes that the "Night King" is from House Stark and is the younger brother of the man who overthrew him.

To sum up, the Stark Ancestor made a pact with the Wraiths through the mediation of the Sons of the Forest.

Although such an act can be called noble, it is still hidden by his descendants for some reason, so that all traces are erased, and even his name is not left.

Later, the thirteenth commander of the Night's Watch (the Night King) once again had a triumph with the Stranger, and his actions were even more unforgivable than the ancestor, so he got the same fate.

There are still too many strange things about the whole thing, the "Night King" is the thirteenth commander-in-chief, who has reigned for thirteen years, and we find that the number of strange ghosts also happens to be thirteen, and the number thirteen is difficult to say that it is a coincidence that the number appears here repeatedly.

The whole "A Song of Ice and Fire", as its name suggests, is an epic full of iconic totems and symbols, and what the number "thirteen" must mean here, which is seen by Westerners as ominous.

The war to overthrow the Night King was jointly launched by the Stark family and the "King of the Outside of the Plug", and it is even more strange that it is hard to imagine that the Stark family would unite with the wild people outside the Plug (Jon. Snow and the Savages were forced by circumstance), and most of the time they were in hostile relations.

There was an absolutely legitimate reason for this kind of rebellion to call in vassals, and they did not do so, and they really could not think of any other reason than for the purpose of secrecy.

The army that invaded the Long Night Castle found that the Night King was there performing a ritual of sacrifice to the Wraith, and it was unclear what kind of sacrifice it was, but it was likely that Custer did the same sacrifice of his own children to the Wraith.

Finally, and most importantly, it's understandable why the "Night King" was abandoned by the entire Stark family, but the "Last Hero" is also hidden from history.

After all, people have traded the happiness of the rest of their lives for the peace of Westeros.

It is also very likely that the Stark family has the blood of the Wraith.

The "Last Hero" had children after being betrothed to the Wraiths and secretly adopted by House Stark in Winterfell, and over time these descendants were married to other members of House Stark (intermarriage between cousins within the family is not uncommon) and passed down from generation to generation.

As long as it's long enough, the descendants of the entire Stark family will carry the bloodline of the Wraith.

But the question is, why would Stark's people do this?

The Stark family in the TV series is purely a product of aristocratic education, they are polite, and they pay attention to honor and responsibility.

However, the early Starks were not good men and women, they fought against the children of the forest for living space, fought against the strangers after the long night came, and continued to fight other nobles for territory after the long night ended.

It should be said that the Stark family can have such a high status in the North by not relying on glory and responsibility, but by sword and blood.

So what would they do if they found that a person with Alien blood, instead of being at risk of assimilating with the Alien, was more resilient in some matter?

Starks are often described as cold, and indeed more hardy than others. Some Starks are wild and have been described as having "wolf's blood" (Arya. Stark has been described as such).

There are also some people who have blue eyes of ice and snow, which are indistinguishable from the eyes of the wraiths.

As said in "The Three-Body Problem", "Survival is the first priority." "It's good to survive in a harsh environment like the North and to have a little advantage.

In Book 1, Game of Thrones, one of Ned Stark's dreams is mentioned:

He walked in the stone cellars beneath Winterfell, as he had walked a thousand times before. The ancestors looked at him with the eyes of ice and snow, and the ice wolves at their feet turned their heads and roared at him. ”

In Book 2, A Clash of Kings, Bran had a similar dream:

The statues looked at him with blue eyes shining, he knew that these people had done many terrible things in their early years, but they were all Starks, they were all his ancestors, and this was part of being a Stark, and he knew that one day, he would lie there like them.

Maybe the North's King's Pig Iron Crown was meant to suppress the power of the blood of the Alien in their bodies?

Perhaps in the stone cellars of Winterfell, the corpses of the Stark ancestors were not always dead, and the cast-iron longsword held by the statue was a precautionary measure?

Maybe the whole of Winterfell was built to keep the Wraiths inside rather than keep them out?

Everyone knows that the Stark family's ancestral greatsword "Ice", this Valyrian steel sword was forged in ancient Valyria more than 400 years ago, and the name of the clan sword "Ice" has been passed down in the Stark family for thousands of years, and is a product of the Heroic Era.

So what was the "ice" used by the Starks before the greatsword made of Valyrian steel?

It's no coincidence that the weapons used by the Aliens are also made of ice!

Therefore, in order to survive, Stark's ancestors secretly made a marriage contract with the Wraith, and the children they gave birth to affected the bloodline of the entire family.

The later "Night King" may have fallen in love with the Alien Woman due to the influence of this bloodline.

Both of them have been erased from Stark's history, suggesting that Stark's descendants are trying to cover up their ancestry.

This lineage has lasted for 8,000 years since the Age of Heroes, which is perhaps the reason why this family has survived to this day.

Today, this bloodline remains in the bodies of several young Starks, and will have an immeasurable impact on their fate for the rest of their lives.

After listening to Li Yaoyang's narration, Pelop's doubts were gradually relieved, his thinking gradually became clearer, and at the same time, he was shocked by the huge structure of Game of Thrones.

"Your design is so complicated that you need to go back and savor it, and I just read it cursorely, and there are countless question marks."

Li Yaoyang nodded:

"You can't take the manuscript with you, I'll give you an original copy when it's printed."

"Well, I'm looking forward to it, by the way, I still have a question..."
