Breakfast.

The long table that can accommodate 100 people is filled with steaming bread, shredded beef and mutton, honey, milk, grape crystal juice, beef leg bone broth, snowbird eggs, a variety of fresh vegetable salads, chives and meat floss, etc. In addition, there are also famous wines from Meereen City on the eastern continent on the other side of the Narrow Sea.

In the north, because of the weather, even girls can have a few drinks. Men usually pin a wine bag around their waists, and when chatting and chatting, they can drink two sips to dehumidify and drive away the cold, just like drinking tea.

Mistress Eddard and Lady Caitlyn were at the table, and on either side of the long table were Robb, Jon, Theon, Bran, and Rickon, and on the opposite side were Sansa and Arya, Sister Modan, Maester Lewyn, treasurer Viyan Poole, and head of the school, Sir Rodric.

The black-clad brother Will Cao is also here.

Will was flanked by Jory Kesso, captain of the guard, Erin, vice-captain, Huron, the head of the stable, and Desmond, the castle director.

Eddard Stark likes to eat with his closest men, and that's a tradition he teaches his children.

Eddard Stark often tells children that you can't expect people who don't have a sense of closeness and respect for you to work for you, you should treat your subordinates like your own family, and eat and drink and train with them, because that's when it's easiest for you to understand each of their personalities and what kind of person they are.

But that's not all, the most important thing is to give your subordinates a chance to understand what kind of person you are.

When there were no distinguished guests, Jon shared a table with his father, brothers and sisters, and if there were noble guests, he avoided them and went to eat with the men in the next room, grooms, dogs, etc., so that the distinguished guests would not feel humiliated.

In Westeros, illegitimate children are not legalized, so Jon Snow does not belong to the Stark family, he does not have any inheritance, no status, no property, and cannot use Stark's surname, so he cannot call himself Stark to people outside.

The surname Snow, with its discrimination, is the common surname of all fatherless children in the North. Although Jon has a father and no mother, he is also conventionally given the surname Snow.

During the more than 300 years that the House of Targaryen ruled Westeros, Aegon IV, the Eternal King, had done a controversial and remarkable thing, he was the only king to legalize his illegitimate son. Among them, the four illegitimate children are the most representative, because the mothers of these four illegitimate children also have prominent status, so they are called "noble illegitimate children" in history.

At least three of the four legalized bastards were super fierce people, of which the Black Fire Rebellion became king, and the other two became sworn enemies, and all of them became aliens one after another, and finally all became prophets after cultivating. Among them, the prophet Brinnden Kawawen also became the prime minister of two generations of kings, and finally went to the Great Wall in the north and became the Green Prophet, that is, the three-eyed crow who later taught Bran to cultivate alien abilities is his incarnation.

In the more than 300 years that the House of Targaryen ruled Westeros, no one of the illegitimate children in history has achieved greater fame than Brinnden Rivers.

However, it is clear that Jon Snow did not have the good fortune of Brindon Gawain, and he had been discriminated against since he was sensible, not only from Lady Caitlin, but also from his elegant and beautiful sister Sansa and the rest of the family. Despite Eddard Stark's discriminatory treatment, the power of the bastard custom was irresistible, and even Beth, the young daughter of the stablemaster Huron, looked down on Jon Snow.

Will poured himself two glasses of wine, a wine from Meereen far away that not everyone could ever taste, and Will pushed one of them in front of Jon Snow from a distance of several people.

Jon Snow looked up, and Will raised his glass in greeting. Jon Snow was grateful, but he still looked at his father's face first. Eddard Stark has always had a snowy expression, cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He looked at Catelyn again, and Lady Catelyn's eyes had the usual contempt in her bones.

"Cheers, Brother Jon, I salute you!" Will laughed.

Jon Snow raised his glass, he had long wanted to drink a glass of the prestigious wine from Meereen, but he never had the chance, and the sweet aroma of the wine kept drilling into his nostrils, attracting people's hearts.

Robb laughed, "Will, why are you alone with Jon? I want to have two drinks too." ”

Mother Caitlin's eyes were cold, and Robb smiled and stopped.

In the morning, except for a few knights and the captain of the guard, the rest of the children and women were not allowed to drink alcohol. Today, Lord Ed brought out a good wine because of Will. Once Eddard Stark has identified a person, he will bring out the best things to entertain guests. He's such a character.

Will laughed, "Because Jon is the smartest, only he didn't challenge me." Look at Theon again, half of the face will be recuperated for at least half a month, Robb, your fingers are fine. ”

"It's okay. Robb held up his hand to show the group.

Theon said, "Brother Black, one day I will defeat you, I am still young, and there is time. ”

Arya smiled, "Theon, no matter how hard you practice, you won't be the opponent of my friend in black. Brother Cao, after dinner, can you teach me the trick of snatching Robb's spear?"

"No problem. Will raised his glass at Arya.

Arya poured herself a large glass of honey milk and reached over to touch Will's glass, "Cheers!"

"Cheers!" Will raised his glass to Jon to come along.

So the three of them toasted together, and they all drank a drop of wine.

The captain of the guard, Jory Kesso, tore a large piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Brother Cao, you are the chosen one, you can see the fragments of the future, so what about your own tomorrow, can you see it?"

"I can't. Will said.

"No, it won't. Erin laughed, "Lord Eddard says you're starting to metamorphose into an alien, can you control the soul of an animal now? say, a dog, or a hehe-hey-caterpillar." ”

Several of the jazzes let out a chuckle, a look of contempt and mockery.

"I can't yet. "Will is neither humble nor arrogant.

Desmond said slowly: "Brother Cao, you are going back to the Great Wall of Desperation tomorrow, you are so powerful, can't you see in advance that your journey is going well?"

Will said: "My oracle fragment is not something I can see if I want to see anything, it is all God's will, the old gods have to give me something God inspired me to see, the old gods don't give me, I can't see anything, just like ordinary people." God's will is unpredictable. ”

Erin said: "Brother Cao, you can be careful all the way, there is a section of King's Avenue that passes through the wolf forest. But you don't have to worry about the Icewolves now, Captain Jory and his cavalry searched both sides of King's Road, and made sure they found no other Icewolves. The one they met was definitely a lone wolf. ”

"I'm not worried about Icewolf. Will said.

"But you can't foresee your own tomorrow, right, man in black, then you're a pseudo-Chosen One, and you can never become an alien, you can become a pseudo-alien at most. Theon spoke in no uncertain terms, his eyes were firm, and he chewed the bread vigorously.
