Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 177 Negotiations
"Father, I will go with you."

Ed looked at him, the baby he brought back from the south had unknowingly grown to be as tall as him, and the beard on his chin made Ed have to treat him as an adult.

He saw the shadows of many people from Jon, the elder brother Brandon, and the younger sister Lyanna.

Memories of Stark flashed through his mind one by one. Stark's wolf-running blood was unrestrained and wild, and he shouldn't be as depressed as him.

Brandon is tall and handsome, hot-blooded and unrestrained, and he spends most of his time riding in the streamland.

Ed remembered the Harrenhal Tournament, when he was young, Brandon participated in that tournament, and was finally picked off by Rhaegar. In the dance after the game, Brandon invited Asshai from the Dane family Lady La Dane dances with Ed because Ed is too shy.

He still still remembers those purple eyes. When Ed sent her brother, Sir "Arthur Dayne", who is known as the Sword of Dawn, back to Starfall City, she cried extremely sadly.

Caitlin once asked Ed if Jon's mother was Ashara, but Ed didn't answer her.

He didn't want to recall those sad memories, that contest was the pain of Ed's life.

The champion of the contest was Rhaegar, and he dedicated the Queen's crown representing love and beauty to Lyanna instead of his wife "Elia Martell".

Ed remembered the expressions of his father, his eldest brother, and Robert.

Lyanna and Rhaegar left later, and everyone thought that Rhaegar had kidnapped her sister, but only Ed knew the truth.

Just like everyone thought he was in love with Ashara, but Brandon was taller, stronger, handsomer and more passionate than him.

They were all dead, Brandon was strangled with a rope, and Eddard still remembers the torture of his father and brother by the Mad King. An out-of-reach sword was placed in front of Brandon, and the eldest brother was strangled to death by the rope as he struggled to reach the sword in order to save their father.

Lyanna died too, in the Tower of Elysium, in Ed's arms.

Robert died too, and so did Arryn, his adoptive father.

Everyone that Ed was familiar with went away from him.

"No." Ed rejected Jon's request.

"Jon, wait until I get back. I'll tell you who she is," Eddard told him.

There was hesitation in Jon's eyes, but he still lowered his head silently. He wanted to know who she was?He would accept even a prostitute.

Lord Ed still decided to meet the King Beyond the Wall.

The brothers of the night watchman and the northern warriors who followed Lord Stark all urged Lord Stark not to take risks, because the wildlings have no credibility, but Ed told them that these wildlings outside the Great Wall believed in the old god of the weirwood like them. Silenced half the people of the North.

He will not go alone, nor will he go to Mance Rayder's camp, they will meet at the foot of the Wall, not far away.

The gate of the Great Wall of Desperation opened, and one after another came out of the northern knights. They wore wool-trimmed gray direwolf cloaks. Many of these people were recruits, and they looked young.

When Ed Stark went south to King's Landing, he took away a group of the elite of Winterfell, and Robb took everyone away when he went south, otherwise Theon Greyjoy would not take the opportunity to take Winterfell , Of course, Xi En also played a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and then succeeded in the sneak attack.

Mance Rayder had already set up a camp under the Great Wall, and wildlings gathered under the Great Wall in groups. Some of them wore bronze armor, some wore animal fur, and they held spears and axes in their hands, but look! It all looks very shabby.

After a hundred northern cavalry came out one after another, Ed Stark passed through the thick ice wall and walked out from the gate.

His limping leg made this journey very difficult.

Outside the Great Wall, Ed saw the giants for the first time, and he estimated in his mind the height of these giants, at least ten to twelve feet, taller than the Magic Mountain, their thick hair, flat faces, The arms hang down, the arms are long and the legs are short, and they don't wear shoes in the ice and snow.

Giants and direwolves, these things made Ed feel uneasy.

He remembered some proverbs circulating in the north.

The cavalry protected the Duke of the North, and Ed could see the fear on the faces of many soldiers. These children had never experienced the test of war, and even Rodrik hadn't trained them for long.

Ed knows that the war is not over yet. If the fight continues, there will be fewer and fewer people in the northern border, and there will be a severe winter test waiting for them. The Stark family is responsible for leading the people of the northern border through the cold winter , this is their duty for generations.

Stark's mission is here. As the guardian of the North, he must be responsible for hundreds of thousands of people in the North.

The horses kept approaching the camp, and the atmosphere on both sides was tense, as long as there was a slight sound, it might cause a war.

He arrived safely, Mance Rayder's camp, a campfire was lit in the tent, and the king of the wildlings was sitting behind the campfire. Mance Rayder was a gray-haired man in a ragged red and black cloak.

The savage king stood up, "Welcome beyond the Great Wall, King of the North."

Ed glanced at his cloak. "Mance Rayder?"

"1000 years ago, the King of the North and the King Beyond the Wall made an agreement to fight against Winter's enemies together," Mance said. "Master Stark, I am not malicious, why don't we sit down and have a good talk?"

Ed sat across from him.

A smile welled up on Mance's face. "We've met before, my lord."

Stark didn't remember having an encounter with the King of the Wildlings, "Really? When?"

"A banquet, I don't think so." Mance waved someone to bring a piece of roasted bear meat, "The land beyond the Great Wall is barren, we can only use this to entertain you, I hope you don't dislike it."

Mance cut off a piece of meat, cut a small bite with a dagger, put it in his mouth, and handed it to Ed, "Try the meat of the snow bear, I don't think you can eat it in the south."

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Ed asked him.

Mance swallowed the meat, "Let's talk about what you are interested in first, and I will tell you the news of my own Benyan Stark."

Eddard Stark stared at him.

"My men have seen him at the Fist of the First Men and at the Antlers, but we cannot be sure whether he is dead or alive."

"Dead?" Ed questioned.

Mance nodded solemnly, "That's right, it's the dead. We are fighting the dead, Stark. If you think that there are only cold winds and snow in winter, you are too naive." He shouted at his men, "Bring that thing up, and let our King in the North see it."

His men just left, the tent.Suddenly there was chaos outside the big tent.

Mance stood up abruptly and drew out the sword at his waist, "You lied to me?"
