Melisandre dismounted, and Little Will dismounted.

Will crouched down and opened his arms to Little Will.

Little Will threw himself into his father's arms.

At that moment, Arya suddenly felt quite uncomfortable. She looked at Big Gilly—little Will's blood proved that Big Gilly was a Stark—and the jealousy in her heart couldn't hold back.

Arya kind of understands why her mother hasn't been able to treat Jon Snow the same for more than a decade.

Arya realizes that jealousy and jealousy may be human nature and that you need to work hard to overcome it, but it may not be able to overcome it.

Arya didn't think she would be jealous of Big Gilly, but Big Gilly and Will gave birth to the purest atavistic bloodline of the Stark family, the Iceless Bloodline.

Will himself was suppressed by the Stark bloodline.

Arya Stark and Big Gilly are both Stark blood, the same ancestor, the same bloodline, but the two people's life backgrounds and environments are completely different.

One is a young lady from the Lord's family in the North, and the other is a wild man in the savage village outside the Great Wall. One supreme, one supreme!

"I've grown taller. Will said. Rub Little Will's thick black hair vigorously.

"I'm the guardian of Mole Village. Little Will told his father triumphantly.

Will didn't feel the chill of Little Will. Those who do not ice are not afraid of the cold, their physique is extremely cold, and they are free in the ice and snow, just like in the spring of March.

"Who rewarded it?"

"The villagers chose me. Little Will said angrily.

"Oh, voted for?"

"Yes. ”

"Did you do anything amazing to impress the hearts of the villagers?"

"Catch the ghouls, kill the ghosts. ”

Although Will had already guessed, he still couldn't accept it in his heart, Little Will was too young, and it was too risky to go outside the Great Wall of Desperation. He looked at Melisandre, who was expressionless and cold, and her face was still charming. He noticed that when Melisandre's gaze turned to Little Will's, there was a rare tenderness.

"It's Melisandre...... "What does the child call Melisandre?" Auntie, teacher, shaman, Will couldn't find the right words for a moment, "Did you go outside the Wall of Desperation?"

"Went and caught a few ghouls. Little Will has ruddy lips, black eyes, black hair, white and tender skin, and a childish face.

"You're not afraid?"

"Chop off the ghoul's arms, knock out his mouthful of teeth, and the ghoul will be obedient. ”

"Who came up with the idea?"

"Mother Merry. ”

Mom?

Will chuckled inwardly.

Will calls Melly his mother, and his tone is affectionate, and he doesn't feel unfamiliar. This is something that Will is not very willing to accept! Melisandre is very 'wizard', only about profit and disadvantage, too utilitarian.

Did Big Gilly agree to this title?

Will looked at Da Jili, who looked at the father and son warmly. Big Gilly's feelings for Will never be reciprocated, even if she was pregnant with Little Will before, Big Will himself didn't know it.

Apparently, Big Gilly agreed with Little Will to call Melisandre so.

In this world, it is a respectful thing for father and son to have the same name. The last Fireplace City Amber family is the same name as father and son. If you have a great respect for a hero or a character, you can take the hero's name as your name as a sign of respect.

In the Stark family, there was a city builder Brandon, and then, among the descendants of the descendants, there were countless Brandon. Bran Stark's full name is Brandon Stark.

In order to distinguish the names of father and son, a big character is added in front of the father, and a small character is added in front of the son's name, which is also a common way to choose a name.

Will looked at Melisandre, the high priestess of the army, an important person who was qualified to participate in any decision-making in the army, and allowed little Will to call her Mother Merry, what did she think?!

The sound of horses' hoofs was hurried in the burrows, and several horses rushed out, but there was no one at once, but each horse had a large rope tied to its saddle, and to the large rope were many small ropes, each of which was long, and tied to a ghoul who had no arms and had an empty mouth.

These ghouls have lost any ability to attack other than following the horses.

The horses were accustomed to being followed by a gang of ghouls, and the horses were not afraid of ghouls, but Will's soldiers were afraid of ghouls. Except for the Ash Tribe and the Wood Shield Tribe, there are also free people who have dealt with ghouls, and the rest of the northern nobles have not really fought with ghouls.

The soldiers of the northern border are afraid of ghouls, and the war horses are even more afraid.

Several horses came out of the cave and were followed by a dozen ghouls, and a young man rode at the rear, with a whip in his hand, and his whistle matched the false sound of the whip, driving several horses to stop and go.

The juvenile equestrian skills are exquisite, and the horse training skills are even more first-class.

"Carter Peck. Will exclaimed.

The old man's son had grown into a teenager, full of wildness, but it was enough to dazzle Carter Peck.

Young Carter Pike snorted in his nostrils when he saw Will, and he looked arrogant and unreasonable.

"Carter!" Big Gilly raised her voice slightly, and the kid was immediately obedient. He winked at Arya and looked like a fool at Will, "Uncle Will." ”

"Well, you kid has a big opinion of me!" Will said.

"No!" said Carter Peck insincerely.

Will didn't know what was wrong with this kid, and didn't want to fix him for the time being: "Priest Melisandre, what did you do with these ghouls?"

"To your lords and your soldiers!" said Melisandre.

"Give it to us?"

"Yes. ”

"We don't like ghouls as pets. ”

"Your soldiers and horses need ghouls. "Well, inside a marching tent, there is a ghoul at night." In a stable, put two ghouls, it only takes a while for the soldiers and horses to reduce the fear of ghouls, and finally completely eliminate the fear of ghouls, which is conducive to the soldiers and horses to better fight the ghouls on the battlefield. ”

"It's a good idea to train your horse with ghouls to get used to the aura of ghouls. Big Jili said.

"Lord Will, it only takes half a month of continuous training, and the war horse will no longer be afraid of ghouls. At this time, let go of the ghoul's rope, and if the ghoul dares to approach the war horse, it will be kicked by the war horse. Melisandre said.

"Good idea!" said Jaime, "I want a ghoul." At night I tied him to a stake in the bedroom, and during the day I tied him to the stable, and spent the night with my warhorse. “

"Lord Will, my army and I have applied for a ghoul. Rams came up and said.

"My lord, I hope we will have one too, and tie it up at night and put it in the soldiers' marching tents, so that the soldiers will live with the ghouls every night. Sir Shawn raised his hand.

"Our horses need a ghoul too. Arya said. Her horse was frightened and fled when it encountered the ghoul, and the Ash Warriors chased it back. Arya held the reins of the horse, and the horse was still in shock, snorting and snorting with heavy air, and his eyes were guarded.

"High Priest Melisandre, thank you for coming up with such a good idea for us. Will said.

"Don't thank me, you're still cursing me in your heart, I hear you. Melisandre said.

James, Arya, Reso, Podrick, and the others looked at Will together.

"Nothing!" Will denied.

Melisandre snorted coldly: "Lord Will, the villagers of Mole Village are no longer afraid of ghouls, they have lived with these dozen ghouls for two months, and their fear of ghouls has been completely overcome. ”

"We're going to follow this method and have all our soldiers train with ghouls. War horses are also to be with ghouls day and night. Will said.

"The Great Wall of Desperation is thousands of miles long, nineteen castles, and more than 100,000 soldiers, even if there is one ghoul for a hundred people, the ghouls here are not enough. I've got just a dozen of these ghouls for you and your guards, enough for Castle Black. ”

"I have a way. Will said.

"It's hard enough to hunt down ghouls outside the Great Wall, and I, Big Gilly, Little Will, and Carter Pike and I went to the Thern Mountains to catch these ghouls and come back, which has alarmed the Night King. You're going to go out and catch the ghouls again, and you're going to have a lot of luck. Melisandre shook her head.

"Lord Will, winter is coming, don't go out of the Great Wall of Desperation again. "The power of the cold makes the Night King stronger. You are his target, in the dead of winter, don't get out of the desperate Great Wall. ”

"We don't have to go to the Thern Mountains and turn death row prisoners into ghouls. Will said.

Will has his own way.

Soon, a dozen harmless ghouls were assigned to the army by Will, and each of them was assigned to the ghouls' legions, and the general took the ghouls' ropes in his hands and marched with the ghouls and the soldiers.

War horses, soldiers marched with ghouls, and all sorts of discomforts appeared.

The horses were frightened, the soldiers were afraid, the formations were chaotic, the curious, the fearful, the timid, those who wanted to rush to the front to watch, those who wanted to sneak away from the back, all kinds of confusion.

But that's a good thing.

Now all kinds of discomfort will not lose their lives, the battlefield encounters ghouls, the horses are frightened and flee, the soldiers are thrown off their horses, and the strange ice sword is attacking, that is the real disaster.

*

The army marches towards Castle Black, and Will, Jaime, Podrick, and Arya are invited into the Mole Village to be guests at Big Gilly's house.

Big Gilly's home is equivalent to half of Will's home, and his son Little Will was born, raised and trained here.

Will had a question for Melisandre, and it was inevitable that he would stay.

Mole Village is the closest village to Hey Castle, and the brothel business in the village is maintained by the young men of the night watch.

The group rode into the mole village, and the young Carter Pike pulled a rope on the wall, and the wooden plank and straw mat at the entrance were restored to cover the entrance to the village. As soon as there is snow, the entrance will be tightly covered.

The underground village is not boring, and every house has a vent on the roof, and many roads have ventilation holes above it.

Entering the village, relying on the natural lighting, ordinary people's eyesight can barely see the road clearly, and the copper pot torches on both sides of the road have been lit, illuminating the road in the village very brightly.

Will Jr. is close to Jaime and Podrick.

Jaime and Podrick taught him narrow-sword swordsmanship, and the two were his masters.

Little Will has two mothers, a father, two masters, and a loving older brother: Carter Peck.

He is polite, shy, cute and understanding, and soon talks to Arya on horse, and he notices that Arya is also a narrow sword, and knows that Arya's narrow sword is very powerful, and will kill. He asks Arya for swordsmanship, and the two talk about swordsmanship in a speculative way.

When the group arrives at Big Gilly's house, Will realizes that there are a lot of people missing from the house.

Three generations of Big Gilly lived together, including Little Will and Melisandre, a total of twenty-one, but Will found that half of Big Gilly's sisters were missing.

Then, in the shrine dedicated to the Old Gods in the hall, Will saw the names of the remaining ten sisters and the tablets they were enshrined in.

"Are they all dead?" Will asked Big Gilly, eyes fixed on Melisandre. He had already figured out what was going on. Melisandre was like that, for the sake of her faith and purpose, the dead were not psychologically burdensome to her. This is a hard-hearted priestess, capable, utilitarian and goal-oriented, and human life is like grass.

"Yes, they're all dead. Da Jili said, her tone calm, as if it was a cat or a dog who died.

"How did you die?" asked Will in a whisper.

"Lord Will, ask me whatever you want. Melisandre simply got straight to the point. He could see that Will was unhappy with her.

"Well, I was about to ask you if it was your fault that they crossed the Great Wall of Desperation to catch ghouls, and then they were all killed by ghouls. Will had a stern question in his voice. Melisandre has made a lot of mistakes, and Will hopes that she will learn her lesson and not commit the blood debt of her life again.

Melisandre looked at the excited Will for a long time, then turned around and left without saying a word.

Will immediately followed!

*

"Do you want to win the Night King?"

"I want to promise a war between the strangers and the ghouls. ”

"Is there a difference between winning the Night King?"

"Yes, if the Night King doesn't come to invade, we'll be fine. ”

"Humans and ghosts can't coexist in the dead of winter, not this winter. ”

"That's why you took Will, Carter Pike, Big Gilly, and her sisters on the adventure to the Thern Mountains. ”

"No, it's the revelation of the flames. ”

"your flame, the flame has made you make too many mistakes, you can't rely on the flame completely, you have to rely on intelligent analysis. Prophecy simply presents a choice, not the only one. Different choices will have different consequences. If we can't afford the consequences, do what we can be sure of. ”

"Don't take any chances? ”

"Well, then why did you take Little Will and them to the Thane Mountains?"

"You see, Little Will will no longer be afraid of ghouls, nor of strangers. He grew up, and he grew taller before the alien attacked. The Lightbringer sword waited for him to pull it out. ”

"I'm afraid it's not Little Will who can pull out the Lightbringer's sword. ”

"Oh, who else do you think?"
