"What are you doing?" said the old man's voice, low as if he was about to fall asleep.

"I'm looking at the Stark family's underground mausoleum. Will said.

The roots of the Hearttree became Will's perceptual tentacles, and in the damp, dark, and cold places, in the gaps in the huge stone-made passages, the roots of the Hearttree were omnipresent.

"Aren't you afraid of taking risks? ”

"People are afraid of the undead, and I'm afraid of taking risks, but why did you let me know that there is a dragon tomb under the Stark family's mausoleum, and you know that there is nothing in the dragon tomb, but you also let me know that there are countless jade treasures inside, dragon bones and thin swords. You know my profession, you know I'm a thief who itches when he hears good things, right? ”

"I don't know about you, you didn't come to the Divine Wood Forest to pray, and I didn't even know about your existence. As for the conversation between you and Eddard, you are talking in front of me voluntarily, and I can't listen to it if I don't want to. ”

"You're lying. ”

"The old forest demon never lies, the old forest demon only likes to nap, and I also nap for a long time, maybe a whole summer, you know, this summer has been nine years. ”

"You call yourself the old demon of the forest? You are the god of the forest, the god of wood or the god of trees. ”

"I'm so old that I've forgotten my real name, all I remember is that the children of the forest like to call me the old goblins, and some nasty giants. ”

"You've lived thousands, 10,000 years?"

"Thousands of years, 10,000 years? I won't live that long, does it make sense to remember the years? All I knew was that the only thing I had to do, was wait. ”

"What are you waiting for?"

"I'm vague about what I'm waiting for, but I'll know when what I'm waiting for comes back. ”

"Wait for me, a bad guy with a naturally strong soul. ”

The old voice chuckled, like the infinite loneliness of the lonely mountains: "I don't remember exactly why I'm here, but I know I'm not waiting for you, that's for sure." ”

"Then why did you encourage me to go underground through the Stark family's mausoleum, it can't be as simple as just taking the keel rappier, right? I remember you told me that there is a big secret in this underground, and that Winterfell was built here for a reason. ”

"Clever boy, you're right, neither the hot spring keel nor the dragon's tomb are real secrets, but the real big secret requires the adventurer's fearless courage to discover it himself, not to be told by others. The secrets that others tell you are often not secrets, but traps. A keel rapier is already worth the risk, and there is an even bigger secret that you can't afford right now. ”

"Then why are you telling me this, let me know. ”

"Because of the invasion of the ghosts, child, you are the first to see the ghosts, if we don't stop the ghosts, the ghosts cross the Great Wall, the whole continent is the realm of death, you will be a dead man, and then become a terrible ghost, I will also be a dead tree, and then become a tree of the dead.

"But I don't want to die yet, because I still have things to do. After my life became one with this heart tree, I could not move half a step except to see farther and live longer. ”

"You're an alien, your soul occupies this heart tree, the heart tree is you, you are the heart tree. Will said.

"Something like this. My flesh and blood have become one with this heart tree, not just my soul. ”

"It's really miserable, a person's body and soul are attached to a tree, and you can't go anywhere you want, I don't want that. ”

"No one wants you like this, your blood is destined to make you unable to become one with Yuliangmu, you are not a child of the forest. However, with your soul power, it is still possible to refine the green vision. ”

"So you're a child of the forest?"

"I'm the old demon of the forest, they all call me that. ”

"Green Vision is attached to the body of animals, see the world with the eyes of animals, don't lie to me, I know what Green Vision is, that is one of the abilities of aliens. ”

"Child, the green vision of the possessed animal and the green vision of the attached tree are both green vision, and ordinary aliens can only possess animals, while more powerful aliens can also possess trees. Every living tree is a living being, sentient and sentient, just like a human being. ”

"So I'm a high-level alien?"

"You're not an alien yet, what you can see now is because of my help, you don't need my help to possess a tree, and when you see the world through the eyes of a tree, then you're an alien. Do you want to be an alien?"

"Of course, winter has arrived, and I want to get through it, but I don't want to die in it. ”

"Then you go to the underground Dragon Tomb first and draw out that dragon bone rappier. This sword pierces the wraith's body, and it instantly burns the wraith to ashes. It went by two names, originally called Shadow Buster and later called Flamebringer. ”

"Are you credible? You said that the secret that people tell is not a secret, but a trap. And this time you took the initiative to tell me. How many words can I believe you?"

The voice ignored Will's questioning, and he said to himself: "The keel rapier is sleeping, and when you enter, it will sense popularity, it has been trapped for too long, longing for a new life, and as soon as it enters, its blade will burn, dispel the surrounding undead, let you see it, and take it away." ”

"Old demon, as far as I know, the keel can't be made into a sword because it's too hard, and it can only be polished into a hilt according to the shape of the keel itself.

"Light as a feather, Firebringer. The old demon sighed.

Light as a feather, that's no different from a pure keel.

"Who forged it, who could forge the Flamebringer?"

"There are a lot of legends, but I don't know the specific reasons. ”

"Do you want to say it or don't you know?"

"All I know is that the Flamebringer comes from the origin of House Targaryen: Valyria. It was forged by a forger who was proficient in fire and could harness dragons. In Valyria, the masters of Valyrian steel are all masters of fire magic. Blacksmiths who are not proficient in fire magic are apprentices. ”

"Valyria, the place where the best sword in the world was made, the empire was annihilated by the apocalypse, and now it is a place of ruins and death. Will's voice grew quieter, and the more he spoke, the more sleepy he became, and he felt that his eyes could not be opened, and his perception became more and more sluggish.

"You've been out long enough, your innate soul power is very strong, but you should also rest, otherwise your soul power will be damaged. ”

"It's okay, I can hold on, I haven't fully seen the structure underground. Will Cao's voice grew lower and lower, and finally disappeared, as if he had fallen asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but a warm breath woke Will Cao from his deep sleep, and he was horrified that he could not have been touched by someone in his sleep without noticing, what was wrong with him now, was he too sleepy? If the enemy attacked, he would already be a dead man. He broke out in a cold sweat - but he closed his eyes and remained motionless.

It was the breath of a wolf, but it wasn't hostile, it was courting.

A wolf's tongue licked Will's face.

In addition, there is also a person's breath on the side of the chuang.

Will slowly opened his eyes, and the wolf stopped licking his face, and his small sharp teeth flashed a faint white light in front of Will's eyes.

"Nymelia. A girl's voice shouted.

The wolf then jumped off the chuang.
