Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 231 Jon goes south, the power of the elements

Jon Snow, Ygritte, Bran, Rickon and Sam, Jojen Reed and Meera sat together in the tower on the back of the mammoth, looking at the giant city by the lake that emerged in the distance Harrenhal.

Bran's direwolf Summer, Rickon's direwolf Shaggydog, and Jon Snow's direwolf Ghost lead the way.

At the beginning, Jon and Ygritte led the team southward, and they rode along the King's Road to the Neck. In the Neck, they visited the moving castle Graywater Watch. Reed, sent the lizard lions, and led them southward, across the Neck.

After arriving in the riverlands, Jon and the others continued to ride horses. After arriving at Cross City in Ruby Beach, they crossed the Trident River by boat, where they rode giant mammoths and continued towards Harrenhal.

Now, the giant city of Harrenhal by the Lake of God's Eye has finally appeared in everyone's field of vision, whether it is Sam from the Reach, Ygritte the wildling, Meera the Zelander, Jojen or Joan from Winterfell. Well, Bran, Rickon, and everyone saw Harrenhal for the first time.

The five towers of Harrenhal stabbed like black daggers into the belly of the sky.

Fire-kissed Ygritte had fiery red hair, and her eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Harrenhal.

"There is such a majestic castle in the world? Harrenhal is bigger than Winterfell."

Fat Sam licked his lips, "This is the great castle built by 'Black Heart' Harren back then, with all the power and wealth of the people and wealth of the Riverlands. Pile up."

Bran said uneasily: "In Old Nan's stories, Harrenhal is a particularly scary castle. The madman Daniel Rothstein will send bats at night to kidnap children, and she will bathe them in their blood. And feast on human flesh."

Ygritte frowned, "I heard that there will be giant bats in the riverland."

Bran made a grimace, "Not only giant bats, but also frost dragons."

In the days of Winterfell, Bran's skinchanger ability became more and more powerful. At the beginning, the swamp boy Jojen Reed was his teacher. Afterwards, the Green Prophet Three-Eyed Crow almost every night. Bran appeared in his dream and taught Bran magic skills. Bran can easily control birds and beasts in the wild.

Ygritte worried: "Can Harrenhal stop the Frost Dragon?"

Jon Snow put his hands on Ygritte's shoulders, "Don't worry, Harrenhal has cannons, dragons, giant bats, and my father, the Wolf King and Queen Daenerys, are in charge. Harrenhal will very safe."

Jojen, with moss-colored eyes, took a deep breath.

"I smell the weirwood. The Isle of Faces in God's Eye Lake has the largest weirwood forest in Westeros. Wood dancers and green men have guarded the Isle of Faces to this day. This is the holy place of the old gods. God's power here is great."

Meera said cheerfully: "With the protection of the old gods, we will definitely be able to defeat the undead in Harrenhal."

Ed the wolf king brought Caitlin, Sansa and Arya, Robb, Theon, Domeric and others to welcome Jon, Bran and others.

Catelyn embraces Bran excitedly, Rickon, Sansa, and Arya kiss their brother, and Robb and Eddard embrace Jon.

Ed stroked Jon Snow's black hair, "Jon, how is the situation in the north?"

Jon Snow said cheerfully: "Every wolf castle on our Great Wall is stuffed with cod, sardines, herring, salmon, saury, crabs, prawns, etc., the Ice Bay Fishing Ground, Shivering Sea Fishing Ground and The Seal Bay fishery provides us with abundant food."

"Winter is coming soon, and the last autumn harvest is going on in all parts of the northern border. There are mountains of granaries, castles, and grain and grass piled up everywhere. Even if we usher in ten years of cruel winter, we are confident to survive it."

"Wolf Fortresses all over the northern border have already installed forts. Winterfell, White Harbor, Eastwatch on the Great Wall of Impassable, and the arsenal have all started to build artillery. Some large ships of the east coast fleet and west coast fleet in the northern border are equipped with the cannon."

"The defensive power of coastal areas has been upgraded, Blacksmith City at Sea Monster Point, Rock City at Rocky Coast, Warhorse City at Streamland, Dawn Watch at Barren Moundland, Sea Dragon City at Sea Dragon Point, Deepwood Castle of the Glover family, Moore The Bear Island of the Meng family has all built forts."

"If Euron Crow's Eye, the new king of the Iron Islands, dares to attack the North with the Iron Islands fleet, they will pay a heavy price."

Ed said: "Jon, the Crow's Eye is a troublesome man. He resurrected Naga, and he can summon sea monsters from the bottom of the sea. Fortunately, the Crow's Eye's target is the Reach, the red monk Soros, the black flame Marqoro, the Quail Lizard with the red lacquer mask, are all in the holy flame, and have seen the movement of the Crow's Eye army, and the Iron Islands fleet is attacking Old Town in the Reach."

"In the age of spiritual revival, magic will determine the direction of war."

Jon Snow nodded, and he handed Ed a black bag.

"Father, I put all the things you asked for in the bag."

Wolf King Ed led his family into Harrenhal, and the gate of Harrenhal was closed immediately. Wolf King Ed's family came to the second floor of the Burning King Tower.

The guest room in Burning King Tower is too big, Rickon, Bran, Sam, Jon, all lived in Jon and Theon's room.

Meera, Ygritte, lives in Brienne, Osha's room.

Caitlin yelled, asking the kitchen to prepare delicious food for the children.Ed went back to the bedroom, closed the door, and poured out the contents of the bag.

In the bag there were blocks of wood from Deepwood Motte, horsehair from Streamland, stones from Skagos, ice from the Wall, widow's blood from Widow's Watch, silver from White Harbor, grave grass from Bleak Mounds, neckweed. The silt of the Dreadfort, the old hide of the Dreadfort, the bear hide of Bear Isle, the ashes of Last Hearth, the frozen ground beyond the Wall
The essence of the entire Northland.

The North and Beyond the Wall are the regions where the power of the Old Gods is strongest, with the most weirwoods and the strongest magic.

Ed the wolf king had written to Jon Snow a long time ago, asking him to collect these things in the north and bring them to Harrenhal.

Now, Ed is practicing the power of elements. These essences from various regions in the northern border will help Ed's magic power to increase.

The wood block of Deep Forest Castle represents the power of the wood element of the wolf forest.Grass on the head of the barren mound represents the power of the wood element in the barren mound.The branches of the ghost forest represent the power of wood elements beyond the Great Wall.

The silver in White Harbor and the iron in Seven City represent the power of the gold element in the White Knife River Valley.

The ice cubes of the Great Wall in the ice bag, the seawater of the Ice Bay and Seal Bay in the water bag represent the power of the water element.

Finally, the ashes of Hearth City represent the power of the fire element.

The silt in the neck and the frozen soil outside the Great Wall represent the power of the earth element.

Ed stroked the weirwood bracelet on his right wrist. The weirwood bracelet emitted bursts of red light, shining on the metal, the branches, the sea, the ash, the soil.

The ancient old god whispered beside Ed, and all the power of the elements in the weirwood memory in the northern border was absorbed into Ed's body, and Ed felt that his strength had increased a lot.

Yellen, the ghost of a noble heart, Soros the red monk, Quai Li and others all warned Ed that the necromancer Ogbeta had resurrected many frost dragons in King's Landing, and the most threatening one was Baylor, the black god of death. Ryan.

Is the power of the elements enough to defeat Balerion, the Black Death?Back then, Aegon the Conqueror rode Balerion and easily destroyed the towers of Harrenhal with scorching dragon flames.

Back then, no one knew what name Harren the Black Heart had chosen for the tower of Harrenhal. Now, the names of Harrenhal were all given by Balerion, the Black God of Death, after he burned Harrenhal.

These terrible names - Burning King Tower, Ghost Tower, Wailing Tower, Terror Tower, Widow Tower, all tell the horror of the dragon.

However, the Black Death God Balerion back then was a creature of blood and fire, a monster spraying scorching dragon flames. Today's Black Death God Balerion is a creature of ice and bones, and what is sprayed from his mouth is no longer scorching dragon flames. , but bone-chilling ice.

Ed was thinking about how to deal with Balerion, the black god of death, when Caitlin returned to the bedroom with Ed, interrupting Ed's thoughts.

Caitlin said: "Jon Snow is not suitable to be the Governor of the North, you should transfer him to the South."

"The northern border is the base of the Stark family. An illegitimate son like Jon Snow, who has held such a high position for a long time, may have ambitions and try to compete for Robb's heir."

Caitlin has always harbored deep hostility and hatred towards Jon, lest Jon Snow compete with her children for the inheritance of Winterfell and the North.

Today, the wolf king Eddard occupies the north, west, riverland, and valley in the entire Westeros. The Stark family is the only one, and it is only a matter of time before he is crowned king. No, it's time to snatch Robb's inheritance.

Ed said: "Catelyn, you have been asking me for so many years, who is Jon Snow's biological mother."

Caitlin said depressedly: "Yes, but you have been refusing to tell me the truth."

Edwin said: "Who do you guess Jon Snow's mother is?"

Caitlin said: "I didn't intend to inquire, but I still heard some gossip. The biggest suspect, of course, is Ashara, the sister of Dawn Sword Arthur Dayne. Many people are saying that Ashara met you back then. In the last scene, after receiving the big brother's sword, Dawn began to cry in pain, and a few days later, she jumped into the sea and died."

"However, your adopted son, King Lightning's attendant, Lord of Starfall City Edric, mentioned in the Hall of Harrenhal that Jon Snow's mother was a maid named Vera. Ra was Edric's nurse, and Edric was Jon Snow's nurse-brother, in the custom of Dorne."

"A few days ago, I heard Lysa say that there are rumors in their valley that Jon Snow's biological mother is actually the daughter of a fisherman. Back then, the mad king Aerys wanted Jon Arryn and offered you And Robert's head, Jon Arryn categorically refused, would rather hold high the flag of rebellion than let his adopted son down."

"It's a pity that Jon Arryn didn't get the support of all the nobles in the valley. Back then, the Grafson family in Seagull Town blocked the port, so you had to go to the Three Sisters Islands by boat through the Five Fingers Peninsula. The fisherman Girl, sent you to the Three Sisters Islands, but you left her a child, and that child was Jon Snow."

Ed said indifferently: "These rumors are all false. In fact, Jon's biological mother is my sister Lyanna."

Caitlin was beyond shocked, "Could it be that you and Lyanna are the same as James and Cersei, the Targaryen family?"

Ed said depressedly: "How is it possible? Lyanna is indeed Jon Snow's biological mother, but I am not his father. Jon Snow's real father is Prince Rhaegar."

Caitlin pondered for a while, and instantly understood all this.

"Back then, Prince Rhaegar abducted Lyanna, defiled her, and left her with a child. You brought this boy back from Dorne's Tower of Bliss. In order to protect Lyanna's reputation, Jon Snow's Safety, you lied to the outside world that this is your illegitimate child, right?"

Ed said, "You're only partly right."

"Lyanna was already engaged to Robert back then, and she voluntarily eloped with Prince Rhaegar. Prince Rhaegar ended his marriage with Elia of Dorne in Dorne, and secretly married Lyanna."

"That is to say, before Lyanna conceived and gave birth to a child, she was always the wife of Prince Rhaegar, and it is precisely because of this that Prince Rhaegar sent the Dawn Sword Arthur Dayne, Oswell Hean , White Bull Jero Hightower, the three Kingsguard, protect Lyanna. The Kingsguard swore to protect members of the royal family, and will never send three Kingsguards to protect Prince Rhaegar's mistress."

Caitlin's eyes widened as she stroked her heart.

"Therefore, Jon Snow is not some illegitimate son, he is Jon Targaryen! Prince Rhaegar's heir, Queen Daenerys' nephew."

Ed said cheerfully: "So, you can rest assured. Jon will not snatch Robb's inheritance at all, he is not my son."

Caitlin raised an eyebrow.

"Having said that, since this Jon Snow is the son of Prince Rhaegar, he is a Targaryen with young roots."

"Will he come to snatch the Iron Throne as Prince Targaryen? I don't want to snatch that ferocious iron chair, but now, the Stark family rules the West, the Valley, the North and the Riverlands." , logically speaking, the Stark family is the well-deserved King of the Iron Throne."

Ed took Caitlin's slender, soft hand.

"Don't worry, the Iron Throne will be mine sooner or later, and Robb is my heir."

"Jon is my raised nephew. I know Jon best. He is half a dragon and half a direwolf. I will marry Daenerys for him, give him a territory, and make him my vassal."

Caitlin was unimpressed.

"Daenerys is a widow. She is unparalleled in beauty. Her ex-husband is the horse king Drogo. Can Jon, a little boy, win Daenerys' favor? Besides, Jon has always been in love with the female wildling Ygritte."

Ed said: "According to the customs of the savages, Ygritte may not mind Jon marrying Daenerys. Of course, Daenerys has too many suitors, and Jon faces fierce competition."

Daenerys is in the yard, watching the dragon Rhaegal, Viserion, and Drogon eating beef.

Jon Snow came over, and Rhaego, Viserion, and Drogon immediately surrounded him, and they were very intimate with Jon and his direwolf Bai Ling.

Prince Aegon on the side said disgustedly: "Who is this northern savage covered in fleas? He dared to approach the dragon. Be careful not to be eaten by wolves."

Arya heard this, and Arya said angrily, "Prince Aegon, be careful what you say, this is my brother Jon Snow."

Prince Aegon said curiously: "He is the illegitimate son of the Wolf King! He looks like a northerner."

Daenerys looked at Jon, "Are you Jon Snow?"

Jon met Daenerys' eyes, "Your beauty is so breathtaking, you must be the mother of dragons, Daenerys Stormborn."

Daenerys and Jon stand side by side between the dragon and the direwolf, hands clasped.
