Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 164 The Skinchanger, the Eagle, and the Greenseer
On the Fist of the First Men, a nurse cleaned the wound on Varamyr's face and quickly put on a bandage.

The Elder Bear looked at the Shadow Lynx, Snow Bear and Wolf next to Varamyr with some anxiety.

"Lord Ed, this Varamyr is too dangerous, if he suddenly controls the beast to attack you."

"He has already made an oath with Mance, Tormund, Doghead Harma and other leaders in front of the Heart Tree." Ed told Theon, "Besides, he also gave away two adopted sons."

Elder Xiong was still a little worried, "At least we have to separate Varamyr from his wild beasts. Just imagine, if Varamyr manipulated the wild beasts to attack, who would be able to stop them?"

Ed smiled and said, "I will be careful."

Old Xiong was not a skinchanger, he didn't know at all, if Varamyr wanted to use the beast to attack, he would have done it long ago, and the shapechanger controlled the beast to attack, but it was only a matter of an instant.

Ed did not separate Varamyr from his animals because he was a skinchanger himself. Ed understood that the power of the skinchanger came from the old old gods, and the skinchanger valued the oath made in front of the heart tree more.If Varamyr can follow Mance, he can also follow Ed.

Many skinchangers, including Varamyr, have surrendered to Eddard, such as Targus riding a saber-toothed tiger, Samantha riding a moa, Gisela the goat girl, Thorn the lynx, riding a three-headed Darren the dog, Oriel who controls the eagle, Polo who rides a huge wild boar, and the eagle king McCain who owns three raptors, etc.

It was impossible for Ed to separate the skinchangers from their animals.These skinchangers are the leaders of the wildlings and have a large number of followers. Without animals, they would have no prestige and power.

Varamyr's snow bear was burned by wildfire during the battle, but fortunately only some fur was injured.This four-meter-tall snow bear was lying quietly on the ground, and Ygritte cleaned the wound with medical alcohol.

Ed gave Ygritte an approving look, "Other nurses are afraid to approach the snow bear, but you are not afraid."

Ygritte smiled and said, "Lord Ed, I'm not a girl with a yellow flower in the south. I'm a spearwife. I'm not afraid of heaven and earth. What's a bear? When I was young, I often hunted big bears with my brother."

Ed was curious: "Where is your brother?"

"He died by himself." Ygritte said sadly, "We fought with other tribes, and his arm was scratched. At first it was just a small wound. My brother didn't care, but within a few days, he He died of a high fever. If I had learned the skills of a nurse and had medical alcohol to disinfect him, my brother would definitely have survived."

Beyond the Great Wall is a land of bitter cold, cold, hunger, never-ending wars among tribes, and diseases may kill people at any time.Ygritte's parents, brothers and sisters are all dead.

Perhaps because of this, Ygritte likes to make friends very much, and he quickly became one with Jon, Robb, and Domeric.

"Master Ed, you cut off the head of the Weeping Man, and won the favor of many spearwives and little wildling girls. The Weeping Man, a pervert, has raped many girls and gouged out the eyes of many women to soak in wine. I know several The girl died at the hands of the weepers."

"In the past, many spearwives asked Mance to execute the Weeper. That old boy, Mance, thought that the Weeper was a cat that could catch mice and love to steal. He was not willing to kill him. Now Lord Ed has executed the Weeper, Only women outside the Great Wall can truly feel justice."

Ed smiled, "Believe me, the life of the free people will get better and better in the north."

Ygritte suddenly became agitated, "Lord Ed, I request to be a servant in Winterfell, just like Osha. The kitchen and the stables are fine. I can even join the guard. Many men can't beat me. I have shooting skills. Superb."

Ed frowned, "Why do you want to play for Winterfell?"

"Because of your illegitimate son." Ygritte tossed her fiery red hair, "Jon Snow captured me, but he is a little thing who doesn't understand anything, I want to go to Winterfell, so that I can teach him There are many things."

"I will arrange an errand for you in Winterfell." With Ed's assurance, Ygritte was as happy as a little girl.

Ed walked up to Varamyr, the direwolf Nocturnal and Sunshine followed Ed, and Varamyr's three wild wolves, Shadow Lynx, bowed their heads obediently.

"Is your injury better?"

Varamyr showed a rough smile, "It's just a small injury, Lord Eddard."

The beasts controlled by the skinchanger Varamyr were scarier than the last, a snow bear more than four meters tall, three wild wolves and a ferocious shadow lynx, but he himself was thin and short with an old face.

South of the Wall, skinchangers were nothing more than legends, and now, Ed has a large number of skinchangers, enough to form an "army of skinchangers."

In the future, once a war breaks out in the north, Ed can take these skinchangers to the battlefield. The beasts can spread fear, and the birds can be used to scout and hunt ravens. Ed will have an advantage in the war against the southern nobles. .

Eddard was very curious about how Maester Aemon of Castle Black, Maester Luwin of Winterfell, and the doctor of the Cardinal of the Academy would react when they saw the skinchanger.Maesters of the Citadel generally believe that skinchangers are just legends, extinct from the world like the children of the forest and giants.

The academy has set up a mystic course that specializes in the study of magic and mysterious power. If the academy knows that there are so many skinchangers in the northern region, it will probably send a bachelor to study it.Ed didn't want to share the secrets of the shapechangers with the Citadel.

Ed is considering building a Winter Wolf Academy in Winterfell, which will be his own school city in the North. The Winter Wolf Academy will have a Ministry of Magic. At that time, Varamyr, the Eagle King McCain, will be the professor.Tsk tsk, the skinchanger is a professor, our Winter Wolf Academy has more reputation than the Academy City.

The little ghoul girl in the box kept hitting the box, her blue eyes radiating the cold light of death.

The little ghoul is under control. If it is brought to the south for exhibition, it will definitely make a lot of money.When the corpse was resurrected by the White Walkers as a ghoul, the decay stopped, and she was still a lovely little girl with long golden hair and a layer of hoarfrost on her face.

A spearwife recognized the little girl as Maili in her lifetime. Six months ago, Maili was a lively little girl living with her family by the Milky River. Now, she has become a ghoul.

However, Ed suspected that people scratched and bitten by ghouls might turn into ghouls. Therefore, it is possible for a ghoul to turn the whole city into dead bodies. Thinking of this, Ed felt his whole body trembling. A layer of goosebumps, he was wondering whether he should take the wheat grains south, or burn her to let her soul rest in peace.

If the grains of wheat are brought to Winterfell, the people of the Seven Kingdoms will soon know about the ghouls and the ghosts. However, will the nobles in the south help the north to deal with the ghosts?As soon as the Academy hears that there are magical creatures like ghouls in Winterfell, they may send out a bachelor to announce that this is a great discovery and a topic worthy of research.

The southern nobles will regard this as a threat to the Seven Kingdoms, but no one will lend a helping hand, because the White Walkers beyond the Great Wall and the Seven Kingdoms are separated by the Great Wall and the northern border. life.

Unless the Great Wall fell and the northern border was full of ghouls, the nobles south of the Neck would not care about the threat of the White Walkers at all.

Some conspirators would even use the White Walkers as an opportunity to weaken the strength of the Northern Territory. Ed had no doubt that Tywin, Varys, and Littlefinger would do the same.

Mance walked to Ed's side and interrupted Ed's thoughts, "Master Ed, the leader of the Giant Eagle Tribe, Mi Chu, is here."

Ed looked around subconsciously, "Where is he?"

The surrounding wildlings and Winterfell cavalry screamed, and a black shadow crossed the sky.

A giant eagle soared in the air, with a wingspan of more than 20 meters. Domilik, Theon, Jon, and Robb were all dumbfounded. The old bear, Colin Halfhand, and Bunyan froze in place. Even some savages were the first Saw a giant eagle once.

Domilik stared at the giant eagle intently, "In the Vale of Arryn, there is a legend about the Winged Knight. Many children in the valley like this story. It is said that the Winged Knight has a giant eagle mount. However, the giant eagle in the Vale of Arryn has long been It became extinct. Unexpectedly, there are actually beyond the Great Wall.”

Theon murmured: "All the monsters in Old Nan's story have come out, this is really a collection of strange spirits!"

The giant eagle landed on the ground, and Michu turned over and landed. He was wearing a fur coat and a cloak of eagle feathers. He had long brown hair draped over his shoulders. He was slender, with a hooked nose and a handsome appearance. He was only in his 20s.

Ed was surprised to find that the giant eagle was more than six meters tall when standing up. Its sharp claws were like scratching hooks, which could easily hold the horse and gut the horse and cavalry.

The Giant Eagle Tribe lives in a valley called the Giant Eagle Nation in the northern part of the Frost Fangs. They are distant relatives with the Eagle King McCain's Eagle Tribe, but they have never been at odds. The Giant Eagle Tribe and the Giant Tribe are friends.

When Mance summoned an army of savages to attack the Great Wall of Desperation, he sent people to the Giant Eagle Leader many times to invite Mi Chu to bring the giant eagle south to help in the battle, but Mi Chu never responded to Mance's call.Mance was a little lucky, otherwise, the giant eagle would definitely have brought a lot of casualties to the northern cavalry and rangers.

Michu said: "Lord Ed, the ghouls in the north of our territory are appearing more and more frequently. Many tribal warriors have turned into blue-eyed monsters after death. The ghosts also shot and killed giant eagles with cursed dark arrows. We don't want to leave our homeland, but we can't stop the ghosts and winter, so we can only ask Lord Ed for asylum."

Ed patted Michu on the shoulder, "The White Walkers are the mortal enemy of all human beings. People from the Giant Eagle Tribe will become part of the northern border. How many of you, how many giant eagles?"

Michu said sadly: "There are less than 1000 people, less than [-] giant eagles, and many of them are young eagles. But fortunately, we still have some giant eagle eggs. The necromancer Ogbeta once tried to steal the eagle eggs, but was caught I ran away."

Ogbeta again.This ghostly wizard once appeared in Craster's stronghold, Mance's camp.

Mance said worriedly: "Lord Ed, the horn I found is indeed not the real Horn of Winter. If this Ogbeta took down the Horn of Winter, wouldn't the Great Wall be in danger? The White Walkers would not hesitate Blow the horn of winter and make the Great Wall of Impossible collapse."

There is indeed such a risk. The Great Wall is the northern barrier and even the seven kingdoms guarding the north. We must find the Horn of Winter as soon as possible.

In front of the heart tree, Mi Chu swore allegiance to Ed, and he sent a younger brother as the adopted son of Winterfell, and gave Ed an eagle egg.

In the age without dragons, the giant eagle even had a chance to become the overlord of the sky.

More than 20 giant eagles of the Giant Eagle Tribe hovered over the Fist of the First Men, and tens of thousands of wildlings were heading south.

There are Hornfoot people walking barefoot on the snow, cavemen with green dye on their faces, nocturnal tribesmen with moon patterns on their faces, glacier people wearing snow and ice animal fur coats, and riding mammoths. Giants like elephants, Thenns in bronze scales, men of the Frozen Shore in bone chariots.
Tens of thousands of wildlings covered in fleas were captured, Ed's wildling army.

Due to the large number of wildlings, as far as the eye can see, the procession stretched to the end of the southern sky.

Beyond the Great Wall to the north of the Impassable Great Wall has been incorporated into the territory of the Northern Territory. From then on, the territory of Winterfell will start from the Neck in the south and reach the Land of Eternal Winter in the north. The Beyond the Great Wall will become the back garden of Winterfell.

According to Mance's estimate, there will be at least 12 savages who will follow Ed to the south. These savages will become the citizens of Winterfell, and the population of Winterfell will increase dramatically.

Ed will choose the elite among the savages to form the savage army.The forge in Winterfell is building armor and weapons every day. The arsenal is well stocked, and Ed will arm the wildlings with armor and swords.

In peacetime, the savages farmed the manor, and in the wartime, the savage army would fight against the enemy together with the northern army.

The population of Winterfell suddenly increased by more than [-]. The food problem will be a challenge. Fortunately, there is enough food in Winterfell. Earl Wyman of White Harbor bought a large amount of food for Winterfell from the south and Essos. , The granaries were piled up, and many grain ships were still at sea, heading towards White Harbor.

All the savages will join the Stark Manor and become tenant farmers of Winterfell. It is still summer, and Ed can lead the savages to open up many manors. Anyway, there are uncultivated wastelands in Winterfell, all of which are fertile black land.

The savages are accustomed to slash-and-burn farming, and their agriculture is very backward, but they are a hardworking and brave group. Ed believes that the savages will become experts in farming. After the training of Winterfell, some savages are expected to become craftsmen.Ed also plans to build several new cities in the territory to house the savages.

In addition, the Rocky Coast, Kraken Point, and the mouth of the Saltspear Beach are all under the jurisdiction of Stark. Ed can place the wildlings in these areas to consolidate coastal defense.

Still some wildlings flocked from the north to the Fist of the First Men, begging for food and a chance to live south.Ed decided to stay another night on the Fist of the First Men and leave camp tomorrow.

Ed fell asleep with the direwolf's night walk and the sunshine on his pillow.

This time he didn't have a wolf dream, but dreamed that he was in a forest, every tree was a weirwood, and blood-red faces were staring at him.

"Where is this?" As soon as Ed finished speaking, the world spun, the surrounding forest disappeared, and the pale weirwood turned into a dark cave.

In the hollow of the weirwood tree sat an old man. He had only one eye, which was still red, and the other eye was a hollow through which a tree root had grown.Skinny and ragged, he had become one with the weirwood, and Ed saw the weirwood branches pass through his thighs and emerge from his shoulders, dark red leaves poke through the white hair on his head, and burrow into his ears. The roots came out, and the forehead was covered with ash mushrooms.

On his shoulder, sat a three-eyed crow.

Ed only felt his stomach churning, and he recognized the old man. He was the Green Prophet, the Three-Eyed Raven, and Blood Raven Duke Brynden River.

The Green Prophet can see things thousands of miles away through trees, and can easily control birds and beasts.
This was a legendary old man, unquestionably the oldest man in the Seven Kingdoms.

The old man said, "Ed Stark, I'm going to the Green Prophet Three-Eyed Raven."

Ed pretended to be surprised, "Are you the old god?"

"The Green Prophet is just a servant of God, just like the Wood Dancer." The Three-Eyed Crow said slowly, "I have recently passed through the Weirwood and heard too many oaths from the leaders of the wildlings to you. You are going to move the wildlings to the north, It is an act of kindness to stand together against the threat of the White Walkers."

Ed made a thoughtful expression, "I heard that the Green Prophet can see things thousands of miles away, and can see the past and the future through the fog of time. Can you help me find the Horn of Winter?"

The Green Prophet shook his head weakly, "If you find the Horn of Winter, you will definitely be used by mortals. Don't look at me as an old man, I just loved a brother, hated a brother, loved a woman, participated in the game of power, and the black dragon The dispute with the red dragon, I know the desires of ordinary people too well."

Ed was a little worried, "But, the Horn of Winter may fall into the hands of the Necromancer, in case the White Walkers get the Horn of Winter"

"The Horn of Winter will only have the power to destroy the Great Wall when the aura is revived." The Green Prophet said indifferently, "Once the dragon dies, the magic in this land will be greatly attenuated, and witchcraft needs a price. When it comes to the Horn of Winter, it will be very difficult for them to use this horn to destroy the Great Wall."

Ed looked at the surrounding caves, "Do you live in this cave? I can send cavalry to escort you to the northern border south of the Great Wall."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I want to stay here and monitor the White Walkers." The Three-Eyed Crow said, "Ed, you are a visionary, you know how to use obsidian and dragon steel to deal with the White Walkers, you are still a Skinchangers."

"Your children all have the talent of skinchangers, and Bran is even more powerful. Ed, I hope you make good use of this talent. I will give you a more powerful talent of skinchangers, but how to master it requires you Do your own research."

"You may be involved in the disputes in the south in the future, but please remember that the threat to humans and even all living things lies outside the Great Wall."

"In the future, if you have the opportunity to go to Qianmian Islet in Shenyan Lake, remember to visit the wooden dancer there for me and tell her that the threat of the cold god is getting closer."

Ed frowned, "Wooden dancers? So there are still wooden dancers in this world."

The world is spinning, the cavern is collapsing, the Three-Eyed Raven and the weirwood are splintering. Ed wakes up sweating in his tent at the Fist of the First Men.

He smelled the blood in his mouth. A few miles away, under the moonlight, the direwolf tore out a large piece of flesh from the bloody roe deer stomach.

In an instant, Ed tasted the cold taste in his mouth. It turned out that the direwolf was walking at night, drinking the cold water by the river several miles away.

"I will give you a more powerful skinchanger talent." The words of the Three-Eyed Raven echoed in Ed's ear.

Now that Ed could control the direwolf without distraction, Ed smiled triumphantly.
