The Heavens: The Magical World Begins with The Lord of the Rings

Chapter 182 Castle Black

"How did they die?"

After Gao Yuan said the names of the rangers one by one, Banyan Stark fell into a moment of silence.

Although, after the fire in the Ghost Forest, he had already expected the fate of the three rangers, but when he really heard the news of the death of Sir Royce and others from Gao Yuan, he always Time is still a bit unacceptable.

The three rangers who went to patrol the Haunted Forest are all the outstanding ones who have been trained and carefully selected by the Night Watchmen, especially among them, there is Gary, a 40-year veteran of the Night Watchman Corps. Rangers with rich patrol experience, but still did not escape the fate of death in the forest fire.

He was eager to know from Gao Yuan what happened to those ranger brothers in the ghost forest.

"As I said before, Stark! They died at the hands of a group of monsters with pale skin and blue eyes. I couldn't save Sir Royce and the others from the hands of those white ghosts. I'm sorry for that! "Gao Yuan's answer did not satisfy Benyan Stark.

Benyan Stark took a deep breath: "Do you have any evidence in your hand that can prove that they were killed by white ghosts? Those ghosts that only exist in legends have disappeared north of the Great Wall It has been thousands of years. This statement is too unbelievable for anyone, and it is difficult for me to believe your words for a while, and I cannot use this reason to convince other people."

"I have no evidence in my hand to directly prove that Sir Royce and the others were killed by the White Walkers. Although I did escape from the scene of the fire a few days ago, I did not save the three rangers, nor did they Their bodies were brought back because they had been transformed into ghouls by the White Walkers after they died."

"Now I came to Castle Black, not to prove the existence of the White Walker, but to cross the Great Wall, go to the hometown of Sir Royce, and personally hand over the coat of arms in your hand to his father. It was Sir Royce's dying wish."

Benyan Stark shook his head, and returned the family crest in Gao Yuan's hand.

"This still doesn't prove anything, but I will report this matter. As for whether you can pass the Great Wall, I don't dare to guarantee it." Benyan Stark's voice was a little hoarse, "This will have to let the Legion Commander-in-Chief to make a decision, you wait here, and I will inform you of the reply regardless of whether the Commander-in-Chief agrees or not."

"This is your trouble, Mister Stark."

Gao Yuan politely thanked Benyan Stark, although he didn't care whether the Night Watchmen agreed to let him pass, if it wasn't in the Great Wall, only these fortresses that were still garrisoned had tunnels in front of the Great Wall, Gao Yuan would never interact with the night watchman at all.

Talking so much with Benyan Stark in front of the gate of the tunnel now is nothing more than courtesy before the soldiers. There are ways to force through this tunnel.

These iron fences and gates set up in the tunnel to resist the attacks of wildlings and aliens could not hinder Gao Yuan's footsteps at all.The Evening Star Blade in his hand could easily cut through them.

Even if the night watchman buried the tunnel with sand, stone, ice and snow, he could still turn into a rune dragon and open a huge gap in the Great Wall, but this would damage Brandon Stark's setting in the Great Wall of Impossibility. Magic and spells, he would not choose to do so until the last step.

Gaoyuan waited for a long time before the news from Benjen Stark. In the end, the commander-in-chief of the night watchmen, Jeor Mormont, agreed to Gaoyuan's request to enter the south of the Great Wall, but he wanted to From Gao Yuan's mouth, there are more details about the fire in the forest of ghosts and ghosts.

The heavy gate in front of the tunnel slowly rose amidst the loud sound of chains and winches. Benyan Stark, holding a torch, and two night watchmen were already waiting inside. When Gao Yuan approached, they really saw Gao Yuan's appearance clearly. .

Beneath the weathered and delicate brown cloak was a set of natural dark golden armor. Benyan Stark swore that he had never seen such exquisite armor in his life.

When he saw the armor Gao Yuan was wearing for the first time, Benyan Stark felt his eyes light up, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't stop secretly looking at the details on the armor.

The casting style of this set of armor is different from any armor in this world, and the material for casting this set of armor is not made of fine steel that is common in Westeros, but more like some kind of carefully crafted armor. Polished biological scales.

The connection of each scale is handled properly, and exquisite elf runes and patterns are engraved on it. Those are the ancient runes inscribed by Elrond, Gaoyuan's father-in-law in Middle-earth, for this set of armor.

Benyan Stark suppressed the love in his heart, forcibly looked away from Gao Yuan's armor, and then set his eyes on the Evening Star Blade on Gao Yuan's waist.

"Before entering the night watchman's fortress, you need to hand over all the weapons on your body!" A night watchman behind Benyan Stark suddenly stood up and said.

Gao Yuan glanced at the night watchman who stood up, and then looked meaningfully at Benyan Stark in front of him. The meaning is obvious, can't you even control your own men?

Before the officer could speak, the soldiers under him dared to attack rashly, either because of Benyan Stark's instruction, or because the soldier didn't have the slightest respect for his officer in his heart and surpassed the strict superiors and subordinates. order.

Benyan Stark obviously noticed Gao Yuan's gaze, and he gave the night watchman beside him a hard look. After seeing the night watchman's eyes flinching, he said, "I'm sorry, he just took the oath Join the Night's Watch, and some don't know the rules."

"But he was right. No matter who it is, it needs to be disarmed before entering Castle Black."

Gao Yuan looked a little funny at the scene in front of him. He didn't know whether what Benyan Stark said was true, but the other party gave him a step down, so he borrowed a donkey to go downhill: "Since everyone It’s all the same, I should cooperate! Does this armor on my body need to be taken off too?”

The ridicule from Gaoyuan made Benyan Stark a little embarrassed: "That's unnecessary, it's just a weapon."

Gao Yuan nodded, walked up to the two night watchmen behind Bunyan, took off the two Dragon Tooth Daggers and Evening Star Blade from their waists, handed them to them, and said: "You better pray that you don't lose them Otherwise, even if you and the entire Night Watch Corps are sold, you won’t be able to pay back what you owe.”

"Hmph, are these weapons of yours made of Valyrian steel?"

The night watchman who took the weapon from Gao Yuan couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Gao Yuan also sneered: "They are more precious than Valyrian steel!"

After successfully handing over the weapon, Gao Yuan did not continue to entangle with the night watchmen's soldiers, but followed Benyan Stark into the dark tunnel.

The north wind blowing from the direction of the Haunted Forest roared and passed through the tunnel. The torches in the hands of Benjen Stark and other night watchmen swayed in the wind. Above the magical forces that prevented him from crossing the Great Wall, he entered the south of the Impassable Wall.

Benyan Stark and others walked in the tunnel for 10 minutes. After crossing three iron fences erected in the tunnel, they finally saw the light from the end of the tunnel.

When everyone walked out of the tunnel, the first thing they saw was a fortress made of rotten and blackened wooden blocks. Outside the fortress, there were several towers made of bluestone. There was no wall protection outside Castle Black. Saying that this is an 8000-year-old fortress, it is better to say that it is a village with a night watchman stationed.

It's hard for you to imagine that the Night Watchman Legion, who had the ability to build such a magnificent Great Wall 8000 years ago, has been relying on this simple fortress in front of Gao Yuan for thousands of years to resist the invasion of aliens and savages.

After seeing the whole picture of the base camp of the night watchman army with his own eyes, Gao Yuan felt extremely disappointed in his heart.

Benyan Stark brought Gao Yuan to the main hall of the castle. This is usually the place where the night watchmen eat. Receiving training or busying with their respective jobs in the square outside.

In front of the warm fire in the hall, Gao Yuan met the current commander-in-chief of the Night Watch Corps, Jeor Mormont, who had obviously been waiting here for a long time.

Jeor Mormont, often referred to as Old Bear by other Night Watchers in the original books and TV series, is the 997th Lord Commander of the Night Watch Legion, as well as the Lord Commander and Supreme Commander of Castle Black.

Before joining the Night's Watch, Jeor Mormont was once the patriarch of the Mormont family and the ruler of Bear Island. In order to give up his position as the patriarch to his son, Lord Jorah Mormont, he resolutely gave up. Abandoning his patriarch status, he chose to join the Night Watch Corps.

Of course, Elder Bear was not the only one waiting in the hall at this moment, there was also the blind Maester Aemon sitting next to Elder Bear, and Alliser Thorne, the new coach of the Night Watch, stood behind Elder Bear.

Gao Yuan and Benyan Stark, who entered the hall, attracted the attention of all the high-level night watchmen present, especially Gao Yuan, whose exquisite armor that reflected the dark golden light from time to time was still very attractive.

"Lord Commander-in-Chief, I have already brought you here."

Standing in front of Old Xiong, Benyan Stark first bowed to Old Xiong Qu, and then softly reported Gao Yuan's arrival to him.

Jeor Mormont raised his head and looked at Gao Yuan who was standing beside Benyan Stark. After carefully looking at him, he slowly said: "I heard that you brought it. We are in the Haunted Forest. News of the three missing Ranger brothers."

Gao Yuan did not answer Jeor Mormont's inquiry immediately, but took out an old and decayed wooden chair from the dining table in front of him and sat on it.

The screeching sound of the wooden chair rubbing against the ground caused everyone present to frown.

This does not mean that Gao Yuan does not respect the other party, but that he is expressing his attitude and position to Gao Gao, including Jeor Mormont, and he is not a criminal who is being questioned and interrogated by them.

"I think you may have made a mistake. Although I do have news about Sir Royce and the others, I didn't come here to bring you news about the three Rangers." Gao Yuan solemnly reminded.

"Is there a difference? You just need to answer the questions we asked honestly." Before Jeor Mormont could speak, the newcomer coach of the Night Watch, Alliser Thorne, stood up and asked Gao Yuan questioned.

"Have you night watchmen always been so indifferent?" Gao Yuan cast a disdainful look at Alliser Thorne who was speaking.

"Not long ago in the tunnel, there was also a guy who was as big as you, your chief ranger, Mr. Benyan Stark, explained that that guy was just a recruit who had just joined the night watchman." Gao Yuan didn't intend to Be polite with Alliser Thorne, "Since when is a recruit eligible to attend such an important meeting?"

"How dare you." Alliser Thorne's face was flushed by Gao Yuan's anger, and he was so angry that he even touched the saber at his waist.

But Jeor Mormont pushed back his hand that was reaching for the sword.

"The difference is this: when you ask your so-called question, I can choose whether to answer it, or how much to answer." Gao Yuan stood up suddenly from his chair, "Whether it is a reasonable or unreasonable question, I have the right There are things about me that are private and that I don't want to say. But I can assure you that what I say is the truth."

Gao Yuan, who straightened his chest, directly ignored Alliser Thorne's angry eyes, and looked directly into Jeor Mormont's eyes.

I am neither the night watchman trainer of this recruit coach nor a member of the night watchman army. Why do I get used to him? Do you have a sword in your hand?
Jeor Mormont sighed: "Young ranger, you are not a prisoner or captive of the Night Watch Corps. You naturally have the right to choose whether to answer or not. We respect your freedom of choice and privacy."

"But please understand that we are eager to know the truth. Sir Royce and the others are our night watchman brothers. We have the right to know how they suffered misfortune. Their parents also need the night watchman army to give them a Confess." Jeor Mormont explained gravely.

"At the same time, it has been the duty of all night watchmen in our Night Watch Legion for thousands of years to guard the Great Wall of Impossibility and keep track of the movements of the wildlings and white ghosts north of the Great Wall."

"In the recent changes in the ghost forest, we have lost three excellent rangers with rich experience, because of their duties. I had to send more rangers to that forest to find out what happened there. What."

"And now, there is already a person who survived the forest incident and claimed to know the incident standing in front of us. As long as the information you tell us can be guaranteed to be true, we don't need to send other The Rangers, at the risk of being sacrificed at any time, entered the ghost forest to investigate."
