Chapter 1007: The Road of the Expedition
Castle Black, King's Hall.
Will and Jiujian.
"Why can't you let Big Gilly go to the Land of Eternal Winter?"
"She's going to die!" Jiujian looked at Will, and the words that came out were calm.
Will was silent for a moment.
He looked at the list of expeditions in front of him, he was the commander-in-chief of the Great Wall of Desperation, the leader, and he had to figure out the plan for every step.
"Does it have to be Little Will?"
"The altar of the Land of Eternal Winter is not accessible to those who do not have ice. All of us, all of us, are little Will's escorts. ”
"You can only escort him to the Land of Eternal Winter?"
"Outside the altar. ”
"Little Will entered the altar alone?"
"Yes!"
"Is there danger inside the altar?"
"It's cold to the extreme. ”
Will is a skeptic, and one of the most striking characteristics of the civilizations of the earth is the black belly.
"Could it be that the cold god actually wants you to send Little Will over?"
Jiujian was stunned.
"You haven't thought of that?"
"Yes!"
"The Night King is the one who is not ice, and after entering the altar, he became the Night King, and after Little Will enters the altar, will he become the new Night King?"
"Little Will didn't go into the darkness. His mother Mera completely removed the dark shadow of him, and there was no room for darkness in his heart. The flame of the Lord of Light is in his heart, and it is impeccable. And the Night King, when he was the commander-in-chief of the Night Watch, had already taken the initiative to enter the darkness. ”
Will felt convinced by Jiujian.
Melisandre has come on a special mission, from a world 20,000 miles away!
The Red God's edification is certain, and as for Melisandre's understanding of fire and light, there is no one in this world who can match it except for her senior sister Kuixi.
Will glanced at the second person's name: Jogon Reed.
He remembered that a trace of pain passed through Jiujian's eyes when he spoke of the Altar of the Cold God, it was a detail, but Will's eyes were like a torch.
"Why did you go to the Land of Eternal Winter yourself?"
"I'm the guide, I'm not going, no one can find the Altar of the Cold God. ”
"Why do you know about the Altar of the Cold God, have you been there in your dreams, or have you been there to the Three-Eyed Crow?"
"I've been there in my dreams. ”
"Can you be sure that everything in the dream is real, and will there be some deviation in the dream?"
"There will be deviations, but not much worse, at most subtle deviations in place or time. ”
"And why was Melisandre chosen to go with her?"
"She's a mentor and mother to Little Will, and we need someone that Little Will can trust and help him, and none other than Melisandre. In the land of eternal winter, neither the flint nor the wood could raise flames, and it was so cold that everything but ice and snow were frozen and brittle. The flint and steel shattered as soon as it was struck. ”
"You need Melisandre's ability to make fire?"
"She also has the ability to prophesy, and the ability to communicate with the Red God. Resurrection and light are indispensable things that Melisandre can bring to us. ”
Well, Melisandre is their life-fire, and that really isn't missing.
"Where's James?"
"His swordsmanship, except for the monks in the Black and White Courtyard, no one can match him, Arya is also a little inferior to him, and his physical strength is stronger, and his personality is more optimistic. And you and Arya, husband and wife, are one and cannot be separated. ”
Will nodded, Jiujian was indeed not a teenager anymore, he was a learned prophet, not only predicting the future, but also everyone's spiritual mentor. He is familiar with everyone's personality and strengths and weaknesses.
Going to the Land of Eternal Winter is dangerous, and everyone needs Jaime's sword.
"I can give him the keel sword. Will said.
"Dragonbone swords, Valyrian steel swords, obsidian daggers and arrows, we'll take them with us. ”
"Why Shanna?" Will stared at Shanna's name, he never understood why there was Shanna.
"We need her unicorn. ”
"Unicorns just swim in the ocean. ”
"No, unicorns can withstand the cold, they can cross water, and they can continue to walk without food for a month. The energy stored in their bodies allows them to endure the cold for a long time. In addition to being able to fight, unicorns can also warn and are very sensitive to strangers and ghouls. ”
"Do unicorns be afraid of strangers and ghouls?"
"Yes, but Melisandre has found a way to train her horses, by tying ghouls to the tail of a unicorn with a rope, which is ten times more adaptable than a horse. ”
"The mount in the north is a unicorn?"
"Yes, sir. ”
"Jingle Shirt?!" Will pointed to the name of the Tinkerbell shirt, "Why?"
"He is a native of the Sean Mountains, knows every rock, snow, trap and avoiding the attacks of predators, and we need Clankler's ability to survive in the snow world. ”
Will agrees!
"Bunyan Stark is an undead. Will said.
"Strangers and ghouls are also a type of undead. ”
"Oh!"
"In many places, only the undead can find our way and avoid the detection of the people of the Cold God. ”
"Bunyan Stark has something very important to do in Winterfell. ”
"I know, Guardian of Lightbringer. ”
"The Lightbringer has no room for error. ”
"Yes, but the Lightbringer has always had a Guardian. ”
"Humanoid life in the Divine Wood Forest?"
"Yes!"
"I thought he was a citizen of the cold god. Will found himself less and less trusting of people. Humanoids are also humans.
"Unless the snow in Winterfell is as high as a floor, the god of cold will have the potential to encroach on that humanoid life. ”
"There have been moments in history. ”
"The Great Wall of Desperation has not fallen, and the God of Cold cannot enslave the humanoid life of the North. The Children of the Forest have lived in the Ghost Forest for a long time, and the Free Folk have lived in the Thane Mountains for a long time, and they have not been affected by the God of Cold. ”
"No, I remember you agreed with me, that in the north, the god of cold is everywhere. ”
"When the sun comes out, the light is everywhere, but there is as much light as there is darkness. Where sunlight can't reach, it's shadows. The same goes for the god of cold. ”
Will breathed a long sigh of relief!
He found that he was not only thinking too much, but also feeling a little bit of a villain's mind.
But why did he breathe a sigh of relief after listening to Jiujian's words?
He believed in Jiujian, trusting it completely, without reservations.
"Jiujian, are you going to the Altar of the Cold God in the Land of Eternal Winter?"
"Yes!"
Will took out a pen and paper and pushed it in front of Jiujian: "Draw the route to the north, and the altar." “
"I can't draw well!"
Will said, "I'll find someone to paint, you can do it." “
"Good!"
Will shouted outside the door, "Abel." ”
Able pushed the door in.
"Go and call Samwell Tully. ”
"Yes, sir!"
Able went out, and the black girl came in: "My lord, Lady Gilly asks to see you." ”
"Ask her to come in. ”
Big Gilly came in, her face calm.
The three of them looked at each other.
"You may be seated. Will said.
Big Gilly didn't sit down: "Will, Jiujian, I will accompany Little Will to the land of eternal winter, or, you find someone else to go to the land of eternal winter." ”
Find someone else?!
Big Gilly won't let Little Will go to the Land of Eternal Winter, she is Little Will's mother, so she threatens each other.
"Go, I've seen bad results. Jiujian said.
"What result?"
"You're going to die!"
"Where's Little Will?"
Big Gilly didn't care about her own safety.
“...... We'll do everything we can to protect him. That's all Jiujian can say.
Many things, people are not as good as heaven. There are also many things that are known, but cannot be changed.
"Either let me join or don't let Little Will take the risk. Da Jili said lightly. She glanced at Will and left.
It's tricky!
Jiujian looked at Will, and Will said, "Maybe we can only go to another person to convince her." ”
"Melisandre?"
"No, Little Will!"
"Then I'll have to give it a try. ”
*
Samwell arrives at the King's Tower study.
Jiujian explained to him in detail the path he had traveled in his dream, and when he went out of the Thern Mountains, he entered an unknown place. The Land of Eternal Winter, a place where Terrans and humanoids have never been. But Bunyan Stark of Winterfell had been there once, but he hadn't been able to go farther.
That time they went to scout the Night King, not the Altar of the Cold God.
The altar of the god of cold is farther and colder, the end of this continent.
Samwell's ability to draw, write, read, and calculate was excellent, and he depicted a very precipitous place, many of which had no way of going through. But Will thinks of the unicorn, and Jiujian wants Shanna to take the unicorn with him, which is also a necessary choice.
Finally, there is the altar.
Outside the altar, there are strangers and ghouls guarding, Jiujian believes that it explains where there are a few strangers and where there are a few ghouls, and then his mind enters the altar, the altar is very small, and he doesn't need to get lost after entering, and in the middle of the altar, there is a transparent crystal statue: the statue of the god of cold.
A faceless statue, exquisite, transparent, blue, as if it were a crystal in the shape of a human.
There are no strange ghouls inside the altar, but there are many outside, and all of them seem to be hibernating.
Of course, that was an illusion, once there was an invasion of outsiders, the breath of people, which made Will think of Bunyan Stark, and the last way to enter, only Bunyan Stark escorted Will through the guard of the strangers and ghouls and entered the altar.
Bunyan is an undead spirit and does not emit the breath of the living.
But Little Will will, and that's where the crisis lies.
"When Little Will entered, he smashed the emerald statue?"
"Yes!"
"Is that the belief of the god of cold, or is it the god of cold himself?"
"I don't know. Jiujian said.
"No, you should know. Will's mind flashed with the look in Jiujian's heart when he mentioned the altar.
"I don't know if the statue is the god of cold himself or the sacrificial statue, all I know is that when I approached the statue, the statue's hand grabbed mine. Jiu Jian slowly rolled up his sleeves, and there were five finger prints on his arms, as if they were traces of fire rope.
Will and Samwell were stunned.
"Is the statue a flame?" Will said, "and he sent out a flame?"
"It's so cold that it feels like it's on fire. Jiu Jian's expression was a little strange, "If you have the opportunity to try it yourself, you will know that the cold is extreme, you will not feel cold, you will feel very warm." I thought my arm was burning with a soldering iron, but it was cold. ”
Jiujian added: "It's not that the cold burns me, it's that I think the warmth is too high, like a flame burning my skin, and as a result, my body is really burned." ”
Will was silent.
No wonder the physique of the non-ice is needed, and Little Will is immune to the cold.
When the cold is extreme cold, people's experience is not cold, but hot!
Will hadn't experienced that feeling, and neither had Sam Weir.
Jiujian has experienced it, and it is also experienced in a dream. When he awoke, he found that his arm had been burned.
"So how is the statue going to break it, assuming it is made of the coldest ice, which is harder than steel. Will said.
"Valyrian daggers and obsidian daggers, we all have to bring, and not one, but many. ”
"Can you make sure Valyrian steel and obsidian daggers will work?"
"We also have Melisandre in the same company. ”
"Melisandre can't enter. ”
Along the way, she had taught Little Will how to make the Valyrian Steel Dagger and the Obsidian Dagger burn by chanting a spell. ”
I see.
Melisandre is not only solving everyone's fire problems on the road, but also teaching Little Will to chant spells on the way.
"Can I go along?"
"You are the commander-in-chief of the Great Wall, and you have more things to do. Jiujian said, "In the five hundred miles of land of the Night's Watch, I hope that people will be able to go south and cross the neck. The soldiers set up a second line of defense in Winterfell. When the Night King attacked Winterfell, it was when Little Will pulled out the Lightbringer. ”
"You said Little Will wasn't the master of the Lightbringer. ”
"There were too many people, and there were ravens on the windowsill. Jiujian said in a low voice.
Will and Samwell looked at each other, both with surprises on their faces.
Jiujian was actually guarding against ravens. In the window of the shield hall, it is a common thing for ravens to stop. On the ceiling, it is also a place where ravens like to stay.
If the raven can also be used by the Night King, the cold god, it is indeed terrifying.
Samwell looked around and whispered, "You are in the Land of Eternal Winter, at least three thousand miles away from Winterfell, when the Night King attacked the Great Wall, you set out for the Land of Eternal Winter, when the Night King arrives in Winterfell, you may not be able to reach the Land of Eternal Winter, and even if you are in the Land of Eternal Winter, how can you come back in a short time?"
"Griffons and dragons. Jiujian said.
"But how do we know it's time to send griffons and dragons to meet you?" Samwell spoke as if he were whispering in a wary and frightened look.
"At that point, Mai In, the Faceless of the House of Black and White, will know when it's time to send dragons and griffons. ”
Samwell did not know who the Faceless Mai was was, though he and one of the Faceless Faces had met and worked briefly together in the Castle Black Academy.
Mai Yin the Faceless has many faces, each of which can be used for one day and can be repeated for years in a row.
"Alright, I guess we'll have to find a place, design the Altar of the Cold God, and send the same number of Wraiths and Ghouls to defend it, and then have Bunyan take Little Will through these Wraiths and Ghouls and into the altar. If it doesn't work out every time, the expedition will have to be cancelled. I'm in charge of pretending to be a ghost, and a ghoul is a real one. ”()
