Chapter 0097: Blood Oath Family, Stranger, Holy Inquisition
"I swear in the name of the Lord God of Time and Space, and in the name of the gods of the ancestors, that I, Will Cao, will use all my power to go to King's Landing, rescue Lord Eddard Stark, and maintain his safety. Will drew the dagger from his waist, knelt down on one knee, cut the palm of his hand, and solemnly swore, "The gods are above, and my blood is the proof." ”
The palms of the hands were spread out, and the blood was clear.
Robb was moved, his eyes moist.
The two people put away the dagger and stood up at the same time, their hands clenched, the blood of their respective palms mixed together, the two of them had a clear mind, stepped back, smiled, stepped forward again, and hugged hard.
"Witness by the gods! "In the name of my blood!" said Robb, "Lord Will, from this moment on, you are my prophet. Throughout his life, Robb served the gods and prophets of his ancestors, never breaking his oath. ”
"Lord Robb, since you have sworn allegiance to follow me against the Winter Strangers, you are my family to protect with all my might. I swear by the will and name of the gods of the ancestors and the main gods of time and space, that from this moment on, I will protect the people of the Stark family with all my might, the enemies of the Stark family will be my enemies, and the friends of the Stark family will be my guests. From this moment on, Will Cao will never break his oath. ”
The two men, one young and one strong, hugged each other again, and they were moved and warmed by the blood family.
"Lord Will, is there a fish beam here?"
"Yes, outside the Great Wall, in the Ghost Shadow Forest, there are twelve fish beams left by the sons of the forest, and the twelve fish beams represent the twelve months of the year, and each month corresponds to a prayer fish beam. They are equally spaced apart and form a huge circle. It was a ring diagram of the Son of the Forest asking for an oracle with a fish beam. ”
"Lord Will, I need to pray at the foot of the Fish Beam so that the Ancestral Gods can hear my oath and ask the Ancestral Gods to guide us to King's Landing to rescue my father, Eddard Stark, from the hands of the Grim Reaper. ”
"Lord Robb, let's go. Will said, "I also want to pray to the gods of the ancestors under the fish beam, and ask the main god of time and space to give an oracle." ”
"Good!" Robb's hand clasped Will's hand again.
Castle Black Hall.
"Commander-in-Chief Mormont, why is my brother Jaime Lannister missing from the Wall?" asked Tyrion.
"Lord Tyrion, Sir Jaime has not been to the Wall. Commander-in-Chief Mormont said.
"No, he swore in the name of the Seven Gods that he would stay away from strife and royal hustle and bustle, and come to serve on the Great Wall of Desperation, and protect the Great Wall and the peace of the kingdom for the rest of his life. The gods are above, what happened to him on his way?" Tyrion's suspicious eyes swept over the giants of the North: Jon the Iron Spear, Robet the Arrogant, Harris the Invincible, Jon Snow, and Bunyan the Longknife.
Everyone looked at the little devil coldly.
The little devil shook his head, stunned: "Harris, you are the one who witnessed my brother wearing black clothes and coming to the Great Wall, and I swear in the name of the old and new gods, please prove that what I say is true in front of all the adults. ”
Harris said, "I did witness Sir Jaime Lannister dressed in black and come to the Great Wall, but the journey is long, the Lannisters are full of scheming, and the King's Killer is a man of immorality, and although the King's Road leads to the Great Wall, who knows where the King's Killer's feet are going." ”
"The gods, Harris, how dare you question the will of the gods. Tyrion's two eyes of different colors stared at Harris.
Whoever it is, it will feel very uncomfortable to be stared at by Tyrion's two eyes, one green and one black.
Harris had this feeling of boredom.
Jon Snow said coldly: "Little devil, don't be coincidental, the gods also doze off sometimes, not to mention that the monarch killer has no honor for a long time, and keeping the oath is like a snowflake in the snowstorm for him, and after a flash, it will disappear without a trace, and there is no way to trace it." ”
Tyrion stared coldly at Jon Snow: "Bastard, it's my brother who is missing now, not your brother, of course you can talk nonsense about the wind and snow." ”
"It's easy, little devil, and now we have Lord Will, the Chosen One, to be honest, after a few things, he's a great prophet I believe in. Why don't we ask Lord Will to take a look and ask him to ask the oracle, what if Lord Will's Lord God doesn't happen to doze off and sees where Sir James is?" Maester Aemon said slowly, looking at Tyrion blindly, with a meaningful smile on his pale face.
"Will-sama, please? Tyrion was displeased, "I hate the gods who talk to the gods, and the gods he believes in are not my gods, my gods are in the south." It's damn northern weather, it's cold, it's cold. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to go to the Great Wall, who of you are interested? I can't wait to go to the Great Wall. Soak. Urine. Finish. Jack, lead the way. ”
"Yes, sir. Squire Jack said busily.
Tyrion twisted his short hands and legs, a little funny, and followed Jack out of the hall. Another of his attendants hurried after him, holding for him a mink fur to protect him from the cold.
Outside the Great Wall, on the edge of the Ghost Forest.
Will and Robb came to the twelve Fish Beams.
The bark of the twelve fish beams is as pale as human skin, the blood-red leaves are like the palms of a human hand, and each tree has a human face, which is about several feet long, frowning and bitter, and has experienced vicissitudes. Those twelve pairs of eyes, with bright red tears, seemed to be blood.
Twelve fish beams form a ring, and in the middle of the open space is covered with ice and snow for people to go in and bow down and pray.
It was the first time Robb had seen such a striking ring-shaped fishbeam.
Harris and Taryn Ash, among other guards, remained outside the Ringbeam Wood, and Robb and Will entered.
Robb and Will knelt in the snow and ice, closed their eyes in contemplation, and prayed to the sacred tree.
After a long time, Robb finished praying, opened his eyes and got up, and Will was still praying with his eyes closed, so he stood aside and waited for Will to finish praying. His Ice-Ground Wolf Grey Wind had long since disappeared from his birthplace outside the Great Wall of the North.
Will finally opened his eyes.
"Lord Robb, I have asked for an oracle. ”
"Oh!" Robb's eyes were full of hope.
"In Westeros, there's one of the most secretive groups of killers, explorers, and dust girls, have you heard of it?"
"Stranger!" Robb said. Although he was young, as the future heir of Winterfell, he received a training ranging from literary to martial arts, from court secrets to civil organizations, and different from his siblings.
"Yes, stranger. ”
"We need the power of a stranger to save my father?"
"Nope. The stranger is not a stranger to the northerners, even if he takes money to do things, he is also a stranger under the control of the southerners. In the imperial court, the head of intelligence is Varysi, and even if the stranger is independent of various powers, he will be inextricably linked to people like Varysi. ”
Robb looked at Will with an approving look in his eyes.
"Lord Robb, we need the strength of the northerners themselves. ”
"Northerners don't have killers, explorers. ”
"Now there is. ”
"What organization?"
"Holy Inquisition. Lord Robb, in this circular divine forest, under the witness of the ancestors and gods, in the name of the prophet's guardianship and with the heart of my family, I invite you to join the will of the main god of time and space: the Holy Inquisition. This is the organization of the gods of our ancestors themselves, the organization of the northerners. ”

Popularize the Stranger: The Westeros Killer Order, which is shown to be another mask of the Faceless Order. I am listed here as a separate local organization on the continent of Westeros. The reason is slight, because I am too lazy to pull it, and I can't finish it.
