Chapter 0005: First Encounter with Caitlin

Jory suddenly heard Eddard Stark's characteristic majestic voice: "Will, get down on your knees and say the oracle, let's ask for divine revelation." ”

There was no echo from Will.

Jory opened his eyes and saw Will standing stunned.

This smelly guy in black is so rude.

Jory stood up and reached out to nudge Will hard: "Bastard, get on your knees." ”

Will fell to the ground like a stake, and he fell to the ground, still standing in the same position as he had just stood, like an ice sculpture.

Eddard Stark stood up in surprise and reached out to touch it, Will still had a faint snort, but his whole body was cold, his eyes were closed, and his body was already frozen.

"How so?" said Jory, shocked.

"Let's go and see if Master Luwen is here? he's probably in the Bachelor's Tower at this time. Eddard Stark hurriedly ordered Jory.

When he returned from the meadow of the execution wood, Eddard Stark had already sent Desmond back to the castle to inform him that Master Lewyn had come to the Sacred Wood Forest, but he didn't know why Master Lewyn hadn't come yet.

"Yes, sir. Jory hurriedly stood up and hurried through the sacred woods, quickly disappearing.

"Will, wake up, Will, what's wrong with you?" Eddard Stark slapped Will hard, and Will's body shook like a puppet.

In the sky above the Great Wall of Desperation, the heat wrapped in the transparent humanoid Cao Dali's body dissipated little by little, and the cold knife pierced into his body, in order not to be frozen, he could only desperately accumulate all his divine consciousness and imagine that he was surrounded by flames. And his soul power grew stronger little by little in the fight against the indestructible cold that was getting sharper and sharper. His pain was rapidly deepening, and finally reached a critical point, Cao Dali felt that his whole body had become a part of the cold little by little, his consciousness gradually blurred, and his thoughts began to dissipate......

I don't know how long it took, Cao Dali heard a very distant voice: "Wake up, wake up, Master Luwen, I can't let him fall asleep completely......"

Little by little, his consciousness began to regain, and the first thing he felt was a biting cold, which came from his back, and then he felt the shaking as if he were sitting on a boat.

"The consciousness is back, and I have to try to open my eyes and not let myself fall asleep, or I'll really be asleep forever. As a doctor, Cao Dali desperately told himself this in his heart, this kind of idea can strengthen people's desire to survive and stimulate the huge survival potential of the human body...... At the same time, Cao Dali's heart felt fear in the depths of his heart, that is, the fear brought to him by the incomparable cold just now, he had just experienced the painful feeling of his body being cut apart by the cold little by little, and the cold knife was like an iron-blooded and ruthless executioner, cutting his flesh and blood little by little after being very skilled, inch by inch, from the skin, to the flesh, to the meridians, to the bones, to the deepest part of the bone marrow......

That kind of pain, Cao Dali now feels trembling fear even when he thinks about it...... Perhaps only the word hell can be used to describe it......

It was as if he had just come back from a walk in hell...... In this way of being forced to exercise his soul power, Cao Dali, who lost consciousness at the moment, would rather be clicked off very simply......

Cao Dali opened his eyes, four faces appeared in front of him, a little blurry, still shaking, Cao Dali felt dizzy, he closed his eyes to control the annoyance in his heart, and an old and excited voice sounded in his ears: "Lord Eddard, he's awake, he's awake, he's okay for the time being." ”

"Gotta give him a bowl of poppy milk. Eddard Stark said, a sense of relief in his voice.

"Ed, don't worry, he won't die as long as he wakes up. The Night's Watch was the least afraid of the cold, and besides, Winterfell wasn't cold, and the hot spring water that surrounded the castle walls made it much hotter than outside, and I couldn't understand why he froze under the Heart Tree...... Could this be the trick of the shameful escapees?" said a clear woman's voice, full of vigilance and suspicion.

Historically, the Night's Watch was originally an army of warriors, but it is a pity that in recent decades, it has become a garbage shelter with no sense of honor such as thieves, thieves, and liars.

There is a reason why the woman is suspicious of Cao Dali!

Cao Dali opened his eyes again, took a deep breath, felt the warmth return to his body, and felt the frozen blood in the veins of his body also come alive. He sat up, the woman in front of him had very beautiful long red hair, well-defined facial features, and blue eyes, looking at Cao Dali's eyes indifferently and scrutinizing. She wore a black cloak that dragged on the ground, and on her shoulders was a cape of noble black mink, and deerskin gloves.

Although she looked at Cao Dali's eyes with indifference and disgust, she still couldn't hide the grace and nobility of her temperament.

Cao Dali said, "Will the Night's Watch has met Lady Catelyn Tully Stark. He heard his voice calm, and was a little surprised by his calmness.

Is it because my soul has been strengthened just now? Why can I be so calm and calm when I see the Duchess? It is as if I have seen through the world and seen through life and death.

"Have you seen me?" Caitlin raised her head slightly, her tone cold and hard to reject.

"I hadn't seen Madame before this. Cao Dali slowly stood up, neither humble nor arrogant.

"And how do you know it's me?"

"Intuition, ma'am. ”

"Your instincts are accurate?"

"Logical intuition, ma'am, because Lord Eddard Stark is here, because this is the Sacred Wood Forest, because Madame's bearing is extraordinary, graceful and luxurious. Cao Dali said with a slight bow.

"Maester Ruwen, send the fastest letter crow to the Wall of Desperation, and tell Commander-in-Chief Mormont that we have captured an escaped Night's Watchman. Also, tell Commander-in-Chief Mormont that we need to know everything about this guy. Oh, by the way, your name is Will, isn't it?" Mrs. Caitlyn was not as beautiful and gentle as she looked, and in fact she was full of disgust and suspicion of this stinking bastard in black.

"Yes Madame, my name is Will Cao. "Will's family belonged to the lower class of commoners, the kind of proletarians who had no land and no property. In the old days, they were slaves, and many of these poor people had no surnames, only first names. Now that you've crossed over, use your last name.

"Will Cao?"

"Yes, I didn't have a last name when I was a freeman, but I'm now a ranger in the Night's Watch, and the Old Gods gave me the last name. Cao Dali looked at the heart tree, and then, he saw a pair of brown eyes in the heart tree's eyes, which had been cautiously observing him. Cao Dali wanted to look more closely, but the brown eyes had disappeared, and everything was back to its original state.

Caitlin was a believer in the Seven Gods, not in the Old Gods of her ancestors. The old gods of the ancestors had such a trouble, the gods they believed in had no name or surname, and there were no specific gods for people to look at, and all the gods in the forests and mountains with supernatural gods were the objects of worship by the ancestors. Whether it is the god of trees, beasts, wind, fire, snow, or any other god of ancient times, those who believe in the old gods believe in them all. The seven gods that Caitlin believed in were different, with names and surnames and specific appearances, and the seven gods also had their own specific jurisdictions.

"Will, are you a believer in the Old Gods?" Catelyn asked, frowning imperceptibly.

"Yes! I believe in the same faith as Lord Stark, in all the old gods, in the ancient gods, in the gods of the ancestors. ”

Although Caitlin is married to Eddard Stark, a believer in the Old Gods, her faith has not changed. There was a clearing on the left side of the main castle, and Eddard Stark had built a sanctuary for Catelyn, with statues of the Seven Gods in it, for Catelyn to worship alone.

"I have nothing to say about the revelation given by the old gods, which is your glory. Caitlyn said lightly, her eyes looking at Ed.

Will Cao politely bowed slightly again, like a very cultured knight of oaths. His politeness and unhurried demeanor were not the expected of a rough Ranger who was born of a thief.

Eddard Stark and Jory had seen a lot of rude Ranger behavior, and even the erudite Maester Lewyn was secretly amazed at the behavior of this ragged man of civilian background who was mostly illiterate in black.
