Chapter 39: Butterflies Flap Their Wings

"Egger, why don't you go?" Will grabbed him with wide eyes and panic, "Is it that the person who went out on patrol this time will die?"

Most of the night watchmen were still asleep, but Egger got up early to see the team that would set off in the early hours of the morning to look for the traces of the ghosts, and he should have been among them, to see them off.

Egger was completely speechless in the face of Will's questioning to reveal the truth, and could only hold his companion's hand tightly: "Don't think nonsense, I was just assigned other tasks. ”

"It must be like this! it must be like this!" Ever since he was saved by Egger's words, Will had developed a blind cult that bordered on superstition. Suddenly learning that he would not participate in this patrol, and at this moment, seeing that his expression and movements were different, an ominous premonition swept through his heart, and the poacher was so nervous that he shouted: "Lord Bunyan!

"What nonsense!" A few steps away, Bunyan Stark, who had already saddled his horse, turned his head and glared at his subordinates, and put the dry food on his horse: "Do you know what kind of pressure and effort the commander-in-chief has put in to prove that you three are not deserters?

Iger knew that he had just slipped through the trap, so he put on a determined tone like a god's stick, shoved his obsidian dagger into Will's hand, and told a white lie: "Keep this, be careful, you can come back." ”

***

Iger woke up again.

Ever since he confronted the strange ghost and was hunted down by it...... After killing one in a thrilling hand-to-hand fight, he learned more about these human predators, and the nightmares about them disappeared with the wind, never bothering him again.

Now, in its place, Bunyan Stark, Will, and a few other elite Ranger figures turned on their horses and stepped into the blackened tunnels of the Great Wall, unhesitatingly carrying out that reconnaissance that would be difficult to return. He still remembers the nervous and dazed expression on Will's face before leaving, after being reprimanded by the chief ranger.

Bunyan Stark and the other Rangers traveled north to confirm the existence of the Wraith, but Will was forced to face it again after having seen the horrors of the creature. Compared to Bunyan and the other elite rangers, he will probably be tormented by fear for a longer time.

I don't know where the patrol is at the moment, have they found the stranger, they ...... Is it still alive.

Hot spring water from the ground flowed from the walls, and the geothermal heat brought in made the room warm like spring, and Egger sat in the soft and comfortable bedding, but his heart was so heavy that he didn't want to move.

This is a guest room in Winterfell, where Egg followed Urendirion and his party out of the Wall a few days after Bunyan Stark and his patrol left the Wall. Due to the attack of the wildlings on the way back to the Great Wall in the north, in order to protect the queen's younger brother and the next material aid for the protection legion, Commander Mormont "generously" allocated ten rangers to escort the group south. They arrived at Winterfell yesterday evening and were settled.

After all, this is not his own home, and after being in bed for a while, Egger still got dressed, packed up, pushed the door and left the room.

The cold air outside the door was blowing, it was still early in a dream, and the school field was empty, except for the few Winterfell guards practicing. The king and his party left with Duke Stark and his two daughters, as well as more than a quarter of the Winterfell guards and minions, leaving the castle empty for the most seen since the last war. It was for this reason that when Egger, Tyrion, and Yoren arrived, along with ten Ranger guards and two Lannister squires, the butler who received them was able to easily arrange a room for each of them...... Egger was more spacious and comfortable than when I first arrived.

Unfortunately, they can enjoy this good day for a day, and they will continue to set off tomorrow. And in the South, "night watchman" is not a good word.

Until then, he has something important...... Precisely, something crucial must be confirmed.

"Ma'am, there's something I want to ask you—"

"I'm not a lady, my lord, and I have to tell me something. The maid who had been called stood still and replied respectfully. There was no king or a whole host of nobles in Winterfell at the moment, and the Night's Watch was the most honored guest, and although she was at the bottom of the social class, she did not dare to slack off.

"I'm not an adult. Egger smiled, "It's not a big deal, I'll just ask casually, last time your second son fell, or did I find out first, how is he now?"

"I'm awake, but I'm not in good shape, and my brain seems to be affected a bit, and I can't remember a lot of things. ”

"Hmm-" Egg frowned, it was still the same as the original plot, "Did anything happen during the time I was away?"

"What's going on? a lot of things, which one are you going to ask...... The most noteworthy thing is that it seems to be a fire in the library tower, alas, there are so many books, it's a pity. ”

When the tower caught fire, Egg chuckled and immediately asked, "What about Mrs. Stark, is she okay?"

The maid gave him a strange look, "Is the mistress of Winterfell good, what does it have to do with you as a night watchman?" If she hadn't known her own lady, she might have thought that the man in black in front of her had some ulterior relationship with Mrs. Stark: "It's okay, she doesn't read, what can happen." Madame had been with tears all day long, and had been with Mr. Bran every step of the way, but now that the child had woken up, he was much better. ”

"Is she still in Winterfell?"

"Ah, why are you asking this?" the topic became more and more strange, and the maid frowned.

Iger observed the maid's expression and made sure that the other party was not deceiving and hiding anything, and the answer to the thing he wanted to confirm was so easy, and the stone that pressed on his heart was suddenly removed, and he didn't know what to say next for a while. His little butterfly ventured to flap its wings, and it finally had a weighty impact. As it turns out, there's nothing "in the shadows" causing trouble, the plot has changed, and he doesn't have to worry about Tyrion being intercepted by Catelyn Tully on the way!

"Thanks, it's okay. ”

"You're welcome, breakfast is ready, just go to the hall to eat. The maid didn't understand what was going on with the bunch of strange questions and changing expressions of the man in black in front of her, so she blinked her eyes and reminded her kindnessfully, and hurried away with the things in her hand.

Two major matters have gone to one, and now all we have to think about is how to get a bunch of tasks done. After a few days of thinking, he couldn't find a way to complete it, but he had a preliminary idea of how to deal with it in a short time, and Iger felt that he was walking much more briskly, and after washing up, he went to the hall, and after breakfast, he met a guard on the way back to his room.

"Brother Night's Watch!"

"What's wrong. ”

"The Lord of Winterfell is receiving guests in the hall, please come with me. ”
