Chapter 0265 The Mountaintop Where the Eagle Lives: Eagle's Nest City

(At the end of the month, a monthly pass.) )

*

The march on the plains was not slow, but by the time they reached the foot of the Giant's Spear, it was already dark.

A castle built on a cliff crouches like a monster in the night.

"This is Moongate Fort. Caitlin said to Will.

With a shout from Brynden Tully the Blackfish, torches lit up on the battlements in turn. After a while, the entire city wall was lit with torches. The banner of the crescent eagle flies over the city walls.

Will saw that the drawbridge over the moat had been raised, and the iron gates had already been lowered.

Caitlyn said softly, "Lord Will, after receiving the ravens that you wanted to escort Cersei's family to the Arryn Valley, Ned and I went down the mountain early and waited at the Blood Gate. ”

It turned out that they had come to greet me several days in advance.

If Catelyn hadn't said it, Eddard Stark would never have said it for the rest of his life.

This shows the esteem of Will's position in their hearts.

The Starks were courteous to him, and Will knew something.

In Eddard Stark's unsmiling silence, there is also a humble and respectful heart for Will.

He just never showed it.

Will had done his part, and of course had won the power the Men in Black legion to behold.

"Did Lord Eddard believe what I said? ”

"He and I were convinced that Robert had died of the boar's tooth as you had predicted. I also know that you have set up a Holy Inquisition, and in order to deal with the coming Stranger, Ed is ready to join if necessary. You are the Chosen One, the Prophet, whom we have repeatedly confirmed and chosen to trust. Caitlin whispered.

Will was silent, but his heart was moved: Robb Stark must have told Catelyn, and Catelyn went to persuade Eddard Stark.

In order to fight the aliens, both human and humanoid beings must join forces. It was no surprise that Eddard Stark was willing to join the Inquisition in the fight against the Wraiths. Dealing with the strange spirits is not a battle for nobility, but a battle between the dead and the living.

There must be a leader!

Eddard Stark is not a man who wants to be in power, and Will's goal is clear: those who believe in fighting the Wraiths together must unite under his banner. He would never hand over the future to a guy who had no idea about the future and the trajectory of the world.

He is the Chosen One of the Gods of Time and Space, and he is the one who knows the secrets of the God of Cold.

The god of time and space, a scholar who records the history of the gods. He knows all the secrets of God, but his own divine power cannot change anything. Historians have always recorded history, not change.

But the time-traveler who has obtained the Eye of Time and Space (who is familiar with the history of the gods) will be able to do so!

Will nodded to Caitlyn in the night, "Only by unifying the forces of the Seven Kingdoms first can it be possible to defeat the Strangers." ”

"Yes, but it's also the best time for careerists to take advantage of the arrival of the strangers to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate their allies in the back, which is what Ed fears. Caitlin whispered.

"When it comes to the survival of human and humanoid life, the Inquisition will ruthlessly adjudicate against those who are careerists. Will said lightly.

Caitlin nodded in agreement.

It seems that Robb and his mother Caitlin have talked very deeply.

This can't be said to be good, if Caitlin stopped it out of fear, it would be unnecessary trouble, but it also can't be said that it is not good, let more people know about the strangers, understand the Holy Judgment, unite as one, gather strength, and fight against the cold gods of the Land of Eternal Winter, which is what Will is looking forward to.

At present, Caitlin has figured out what to do in the best part of this short period of time.

Even if she didn't, when the time came, the Starks wouldn't change their minds and flee the North because of her.

Will secretly observes Caitlyn and sees the tension and fear she hides when she mentions the Stranger, her son and husband are Northern Starks, and she doesn't really have a choice.

No wonder she tried her best to woo Will...... The Night's Watch is the front-line legion...... Who else could she put her hopes in but the Night's Watch, and it was unrealistic to pin her hopes on Tywin Lannister, Duke of Lanley, and Prince Dorne in the south, ?——!

"Eagle's Nest?" Will exclaimed at the sound of Boron in front of him.

The shocked echoes of the northern guards also rang out.

Big Gilly had already stepped to the front to see the spectacle that made her unbelievable. And where Big Gilly is, Angay won't be left behind.

Will looked up, and he noticed a faint spark on the cliff face behind the Moongate Fort, as if an orange eye was looking down on the earth. Above there, there was a tower fire that was higher and farther away, and up there was another, and the castle torch was almost just a little shining star in the night sky. And behind the little star, in the haze of a sky, there was a white light that shimmered in the moonlight, the size of a palm—it was the reflection of the white tower of Eagle's Nest City in the moonlight.

The guards of the North, Little Devil and Bolon, Big Gilly and Angel, and Will were all shocked.

Will looked up at the distant white light in the sky—a palm-sized one—with the shadow of a nighthawk flying beneath it, white clouds floating beneath it.

The voice of the little devil sounded: "If we go up the mountain tonight, Bolon, please kill me first." ”

"Spend the night here tonight and go up the mountain tomorrow during the day. Brynden's hoarse voice was smiling. He was glad to see the amazement and horror of a large group of self-righteous fellows.

"How are you going to get up tomorrow?" asked Bollon.

Titicaca!

The drawbridge over the moat began to slowly lower, and the iron gates were raised rattle.

"Ride a mule. Brinden's laughter grew louder.

Caitlin told Will, "There are stone steps on the mountain. It's too dark now to see. The stone steps are steep and narrow. Horses could not go up, so they had to ride mules. Along the way, you have to pass through three fortresses: Dangerous Rock Fort, Snow Mountain Fort and Changtian Fort, and the mule can walk up to Changtian Fort. ”

"And then?"

"When we arrived at the Long Heaven Fort, the mules couldn't go up either. The brave ones walked, and the timid ones went up in baskets, just close their eyes. The Eagle's Nest is located on the top of a hill directly above the Castle, and its cellar has six large winches with iron chains, which are responsible for pulling supplies and people. If you will, Lord Will, we can go up together with bread, beer, apples, pumpkins, etc. ”

"If you have a torch, can you go up the stone steps at night?"

"No, the torches are shaking, so you can't see the road under your feet. It's very windy up the mountain, so you have to go up on a moonlit night. ”

"There's moonlight tonight!"

"But it's not a full moon, which increases the danger. If Will-sama wants to try his hand at Eagle's Nest at night, you'll have to find a very good guide. Otherwise, it's suicide. There was fear in Caitlin's voice.

Ed rode around and came to Will's side: "Lord Will, if you want to go to the Eagle's Nest City at night, the moonlight is barely okay tonight, I can accompany you, and we will find Mia Shidong to be the guide." ”

"Mia Shidong?" Will's voice was strange.

He knew that it was Robert Baratheon's first illegitimate child, a girl. Caitlyn wouldn't know the secret, but Ed knew it. When Mia Shidong was born, Ed also hugged her. At that time, Ed and Robert were adopted sons with Jon Arryn. When Robert became a father, he was a child himself: a boy of fourteen.

Mia Shidong - a girl with the dragon's blood of the Targaryens. (Don't ask why?)

"Alright, Lord Eddard, I'll walk with you at night, and let Mia Shidong lead the way. Will said to Ed.
