Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 150 The Secret of the Other Ghosts

The direwolf Nightwalk didn't bite Custer's wrist with all his strength, but just bit a hole, otherwise the direwolf could easily bite off Custer's wrist.

The guard Dawson locked Castor's hands with an iron chain. The wild man who sacrificed his own son to the cold god became Ed's captive.

Because of Craster's beating, Gilly was still crying, Jon took off his cloak to cover Gilly, and Helen and several of Craster's wives comforted Gilly together.

In Craster's fortress, Ed sat on Craster's old wooden chair.

Usually, Custer seems to be the emperor of the family, only he can sit on a chair, and his wives can only work like livestock.

"Fanny, Nila, Daya, Mary, you bitches, get a kitchen knife and save me!" Custer yelled at his dozen or so wives, who looked at Kaka who was bound by chains. Ster, look at Dawson, Jon, Theon, Robb, and Domilik who are in full armor and equipped with sharp swords. No one moved.

Ed noticed that Custer's wives were in their 40s and young in their teens. Their clothes were ragged, and many of them had bruised noses and swollen faces. Obviously Custer often beat these wives. Ed estimated that many The wife wished Custer would die.

Craster cursed his wife, cursed the Northman, cursed Mance Rayder who provoked the Northman, and finally, he began to curse the Night's Watch.

Castor cursed Mormont, Bunyan, and Thoren Smallwood at the side: "You bloody crows, the Rangers have been my guests under my roof for many years, and you are actually together with the heartless Ed, attack me together!"

Elder Xiong apologized: "Caster, in fact, the night watchmen have not treated you badly these years. If you can't support your sons, you can hand them over to the night watchmen. Our night watchmen have always been kind to boys. Those who don't refuse. You sacrifice living people to the cold god and do such a cruel and bloodthirsty thing, even if we are old friends, I can't help you."

Bunyan nodded, "What's more, those are your own sons. You left your own son in the ice and snow to feed the terrifying aliens. This is an act of kinicide."

Ed said indifferently: "The gods cursed the kinslayer, I will never allow this to happen. Custer, you deserve what you deserve."

Custer spit, and said angrily to Ed: "Wolf King, what do you know? The cold god will use ice, snow and strange ghosts to wipe out all the fireworks and life in the world. You are like a dog, commanding thousands of people!" Cavalry, do you think you can stop the great cold god? May the White Walkers feast with your blood and bone marrow!"

Greatjon Umber was as thick as a giant, and he punched Custer's face bleeding, "Lord Ed, Custer worships the cold god so much, why don't we strip this old bastard naked and throw him to death in the snow Here, give it to the God of Cold."

Count Rickard Karstark said angrily: "To the God of Cold? Great Jon, have you lost your mind? We are men who worship the old gods!"

Greatjon showed an apologetic smile, "I was just agitated, and I made a mistake. I should dedicate Custer to the old gods, find a piece of weirwood, sacrifice the heart tree with blood, and honor the old gods!"

Soren Smallwood shuddered, "My lords, I, a southerner, felt my hair stand on end and my whole body was covered with goose bumps. The barbaric custom of blood sacrifice to the heart tree has continued to this day in the north?"

The Great Jon said harshly: "Actually, everyone is a civilized person. Blood sacrifices to heart trees are rare in the northern border. However, this is beyond the Great Wall, and the law stops at the Great Wall. This is a place of lawlessness. This Custer can use a child to sacrifice to the cold god, why can't we sacrifice the heart tree with blood?"

Castor showed a sinister smile, "Ed, you say that I am a kinslayer, my father is a Stark from the Blightlands, my mother is a wildling, and Stark's blood flows through my body, you killed I, you are also a kinslayer."

"You are an illegitimate child, who knows if your father is Stark?" Ed pretended to be relaxed, and he let a chill seep into his voice, "I ask you a question, if you answer dishonestly, I will Burn you to death, let you feel the pain of the burning flames, and let you never see your cold god after death."

There was obvious fear in Castor's eyes, "Could it be that you are a follower of R'hllor, the Red God of Light? The Red God is the sworn enemy of the Cold God. They are staging an eternal war, using blood, flames and cold Frost, compose the song of ice and fire. But the red god will be defeated by the cold god, and the ice and snow storm will extinguish all flames in the world."

The red god R'hllor has many believers in the Essos continent to the east of the Narrow Sea. The free trade city-states of Pentos, Braavos, Rees, and Volantis all have magnificent temples to the Lord of Light, but , the Lord of Light has few believers in Westeros, and his influence is limited.

As for the cold god, this unknown god, there are even fewer believers.

Even the people living in Winterfell and White Harbor couldn't pronounce the name of R'hllor, the Lord of Light. For the people of Westeros, he was just a strange god from a foreign land.

Custer, who lives in the wild land beyond the Great Wall, this wild man who smells like animal skins and is covered in lice, actually knows R'hllor, the Lord of Light, and when he talks about the cold god, he uses words like a priest Or a monk, which made Ed very surprised.

"Who told you about the war between the Red God and the Cold God?"

Castor proudly said: "I am a god-worshipping person, I would rather die than surrender! I won't tell you."

Ed snapped his fingers, and the direwolf Nightwalk immediately threw Custer down. This time, the direwolf's sharp teeth cut a gash in Custer's neck, and blood began to flow.

"Damn beast!" Custer cursed. In front of the direwolf, Custer instantly gave in. "I said! It's the necromancer of the bat tribe who taught me how to sacrifice living people."

"Night Walk!" The direwolf Night Walk let go of Custer, and Custer sat on the ground, he peed his pants in fright, and the hard mud around him was wet.

Bat Tribe?This was the first time Ed had heard the name, "Where do they live?"

It was Bunyan who answered, "The bat tribe lives in the land of eternal winter north of the Frostfangs. It is said that whether it is the Thenns, the night tribes, the hardfoot people or the troglodytes, they are all afraid of the bat tribe. Rangers rarely go to the bat tribe. Patrol tribal territory."

Robb asked in confusion, "Why?"

Thoren Smallwood shuddered, "Because there's no return."

Ed turned to Custer, "What's the name of this bat tribe's necromancer?"

Castor lowered his voice, as if it were a curse, "Ogbeta."

Necromancer Ogbeta is obviously a new threat. Ed doubts whether this necromancer can use the dead bones to summon skeleton warriors.

If this is the case, then the necromancer's ability is obviously not inferior to that of the white ghost, and the most indispensable thing outside the Great Wall is graves, cemeteries and corpses.

Constrained by the medical level, the average life expectancy of savages is very low. Many savages will be killed by wild beasts in the wilderness. The premature death rate of savage children is also astonishingly high, so that in the savage custom, children cannot be named before they are two years old. It is said to be unlucky, but it is actually because there are only a small number of children who can live to two years old.

If Mance Rayder, the king beyond the wall, joins hands with the necromancer Ogbeta, it will be a big deal.The wildlings suffered heavy casualties in front of the White Walkers. Mance Rayder is unlikely to cooperate with the White Walkers, but not necessarily the Necromancer.There were many skinchangers around Mance Rayder, as well as many forest witches, and it was not surprising that there were necromancers in the halls of the king beyond the wall.

"Where is this Necromancer Ogbeta now?" Ed asked Custer.

Castor shook his head, "I don't know, the last time he visited me was three years ago. He often wandered in the Frozen Coast, Frostfang, or the Ghost Forest, and his whereabouts are uncertain."

Jon Snow frowned and said: "So, you put those sons in the ice and snow, and it was Ogbeta who took these babies, right?"

A beast-like smile bloomed on Custer's face, "Silly boy, it's not the necromancers who come to take the sacrifices of the gods, but the different ghosts. They always come when it's cold, or in other words, the earth because of them and cold when they came. They were tall and graceful, their skin pale and beautiful, and their eyes blue as sapphires."

"No weapon in the world can hurt the White Walkers in the slightest. They are invincible existences, and the White Walkers are just servants of the gods, just like you bastards are the servants of King Robert the Iron Throne. You Like Mance Rayder, goddamn fools who dreamed of fighting the White Walkers."

Ed showed his obsidian dagger, "Castor, we have found a way to deal with the White Walkers. Obsidian is the nemesis of the White Walkers. I don't care if the enemy is the White Walkers, Necromancers, if you dare to provoke the Northern Territory, I will kill you!" "

Castor said disdainfully: "You are crazy, you are a fool! You will cry soon, hehe!"

Ed waved, "Take Custer back to the ice prison in Castle Black."

The soldiers of Winterfell took Custer away, and Helen pointed to a dozen women beside him, "Lord Ed, what about these Custer's wives?"

Ed looked at these women, "Caster is willing to cooperate with us, and I will release him in the future, but he has to live in the north and cannot go back outside the Great Wall. If you are willing to follow Custer, I respect your choice. "

A female savage who still has a charm said: "Wolf King, Custer beats his wife every day, and sacrifices our son to the cold god. We all hate him. We don't care about Custer's life or death, but We ask the wolf king to take us in."

Gilly said excitedly: "I can cook, mend clothes, and feed animals. Lord Ed, I can do many things."

Helen said with a smirk: "Duke Ed, such a sweet little girl, if I were you, I would definitely take her as a concubine. She still has a child in her belly. You don't have to go to bed to be a father."

Ed said solemnly: "I will not accept these women as salt concubines, but I can take them in. Send someone to take them to Castle Black."

Elder Xiong immediately stepped forward, "Duke Ed, these female wildlings are staying at Castle Black. Isn't this a mistake to seduce the brothers of the Night's Watch? Brothers go to the Mole Village brothel to dig treasure, everyone can pretend not to care, but if this female wildling Living in Castle Black, the oath of the Night's Watch to take no wife and no children is really a joke."

Ed was speechless.The night watchman always complains about the lack of manpower. Yoren the Raven, Conway and others who are responsible for recruiting the manpower of the night watchman army often pass by Winterfell and are very familiar with Ed.Yoren, Conway and others went to various parts of the Seven Kingdoms to recruit people, and they liked boys the most. After all, boys can live many years longer than the white-haired old man.

The night watchmen themselves refuse to give birth, guarding the honor of the baby, the number of night watchmen is getting smaller and smaller.In fact, the business in Mole Village is very good. Brothers of the night watchman often go to brothels. After all, this is what men need. There are brothels in the nearby villages and towns in East Sea Watch and West Bridge Watch.Going to a whorehouse is breaking your vows, but no one cares.

If the night watchman has lifted his oath and can bring his family and mouth, it is estimated that the night watchman will be prosperous!After all, the Night Watch is one of the few organizations where civilians can gain high positions and change their destiny by relying on their personal abilities.

Since Old Xiong forbade Ed to place Custer's wives in Castle Black, Ed had no choice but to send a team of soldiers to send Custer's wives to Houguan Town for resettlement.

Before leaving, Gilly said softly to Ed: "Master Ed, you saved me, and I am willing to be your maid forever."

Ed smiled and said, "Gili, you go to live in Houguan Town first, take care of yourself, and when the army triumphs, I will take you back to Winterfell."

After Custer and his wives left, Soren Smallwood and Odin Wheelers, Jarmen Buckwell, Black Jack Bulwe, and White-eyed Kenkie, the veteran Rangers, got together together.

The cautious and timid Sir Odin Wellers, with gray hair, said softly: "Caster sacrificed his son to the cold god. It seems that the White Walker's story is true. We should withdraw our troops quickly and return to the Great Wall."

Soren Smallwood pretended to be relaxed, "It's just the words of a lunatic, I can't believe it, Custer is a bastard of rangers and female wildlings, this kind of polluted blood is destined to be a lunatic, no one will believe it The White Walker thing, right?"

Anyone could see that Sauron Smallwood's voice was trembling, he was afraid.

"Who can tell?" Elder Xiong leaned over, "Almost all the wildlings have talked about the White Walkers. It seems that the White Walkers have really returned to the world. My lords, don't forget that our Night Watchman Legion is exactly Built to fight against the ghosts, the Great Wall of Impassable was also built for the ghosts. 8000 years ago, the Night Watch Legion defeated the ghosts and saved all mankind.

"8000 years have passed, and the Night Watch Corps has forgotten its true mission. It is a mistake to think that our enemies are wildlings. The real enemy is the White Walkers. Fortunately, Duke Ed has prepared enough obsidian daggers and arrows , we are the strong shields that protect the kingdom, even if we encounter a different ghost, we have to stand up to me!"

The soldiers in the north emptied Custer's cellar, and all the grains, sausages, bread, ale and berries that Custer had accumulated so hard fell into the hands of the army in the north.

According to the standards of a savage, Custer's food reserves can be regarded as abundant. This is because he has dealt with the rangers all year round. The rangers will give him some farming tools and even axes. Outside the Great Wall, iron tools are very valuable. These things A lot of food can be easily exchanged outside the Great Wall.

Ed and Elder Xiong left Custer's fortress with their army. The eagle above them was still looking down from the sky. People were used to the gaze of the skinchanger eagle. The eagle was far out of range, and no one would try to pull an arrow with a bow. Go shoot down the eagle.
