Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory.

Chapter 387 The Life and Death of the Three-Eyed Crow

"You mean, that Elf and White Walker asked you to bring a message to me. He wants to meet me at the Fist of the First Men?" Linde threw a few logs into the bonfire to make the flames burn more intensely, and then confirmed.

"That's what he told me." Jon took a sip of hot soup and nodded.

"Another White Walker who remains sane," Son of the Forest Ye Zi also said curiously: "He should be the White Walker that Benyan mentioned."

"Bunyan?" Jon heard Ye Zi's words and immediately asked excitedly: "Have you seen my uncle Benyan, is he still alive?"

"Alive, but not alive." Ye Zi replied vaguely.

Osha on the side was much more direct, saying: "He has become a White Walker, but he still maintains human sanity, just like the Elf White Walker you just mentioned."

"What?" Jon's face immediately became extremely ugly, and he said in disbelief, "Uncle Benjen turned into a White Walker!"

Lind asked Jon to calm down for a while, and then told the others: "You will rest here tonight. I will send you back to the Great Wall tomorrow, and then go to the Fist of the First Men to have a look. I just want it too." Once I meet this elf, he should be able to answer a lot of my questions."

No one had any objection to this.

At this time, Son of the Forest Ye Zi also came over curiously, carefully inspected Jon's injuries, and then said with a slight surprise: "You have the blood of the ancients, maybe it was this blood that resurrected you. "

When Jon heard this, he hesitated, nodded, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Yes, gods really exist." Lind nodded and said: "I won't talk about others, your sister Arya Stark had already won the favor of the Thousand Faced God before she was born. She has become the chosen one of the God of Many Faces, and in the future she will become the leader of the House of Black and White in Braavos. After you return to the Great Wall, you can go to Ice Scar City to ask Willas, which he saw with his own eyes. "

"Do gods really exist?" After a while, Jon asked Ye Zi: "I'm not talking about the ancient ones who have some powerful powers, such as the Three-Eyed Crow, Green-Hand Garth, or Your Majesty, But real gods, like the King of Light, the Seven Gods, etc.”

After hearing this, Jon turned to look at Lind and asked, "Your Majesty, do gods really exist?"

"Ancient one?" This was not the first time that Linde heard this title. When he met the old man in the river on the Na Sa star, the old man in the river also called himself this. According to the explanation of the old man in the river, the ancient ones are people with special powers. , almost divine beings, such as Green-Hand Gals and Builder Brandon.

"I don't know." Ye Zi shook her head and said, "Hua Hua may know. Hua Hua is my tribe in the south. She should know the secret of the gods. As far as I know, she has also become an ancient one." As she said that, she turned around again. Lind looked to the side and said, "He should know too."

"What is the Ancient One?" Jon asked doubtfully.

As he spoke, he untied his clothes, revealing the scars on his body, especially the fatal wound on his heart.

"You can resist a few White Walkers by staying here. What role can you play in the face of an army of millions of zombies?" Linde directly interrupted Ye Zi's words and pointed out unceremoniously that the other party's ability was in the White Walkers. Not worth mentioning in the ghost war, and then said very seriously: "The Great Wall may be able to resist the ghosts, but it cannot withstand the cold of the long winter. According to my understanding, this long winter will last for a long time, and it is very likely to eventually evolve into the Long Night." , when the coldness of the Land of Eternal Winter moves south, both Westeros and Essos will turn into ice and snow, no longer suitable for habitation, and they will have to migrate to the warmer Sothoros continent. Sothoros The mainland is all virgin forest, which is exactly where you, the children of the forest, can exert your abilities. Your role there will be much better than here."

Jon was shocked again and sat blankly by the campfire without asking any more questions.

Lynd opened his eyes, looked at Jon, and said, "Do you know Lord Beric Dondarrion, Lord of Blackport?"

Although Custer's fortress has been abandoned for many years and the roof has collapsed, the surrounding walls are still strong and can block some wind and snow. With the warm bonfire, the tired Reed siblings and Osha quickly fell asleep , the children of the forest did not seem to need to sleep, but they still relied on sitting together to recover their strength in their own way. Lynde sat aside and closed his eyes to rest. Only Jon was still unable to sleep, stirring the bonfire and adding firewood to it from time to time.

"Berry died many times in the battles in the Riverlands, and was resurrected each time by the red-robed monk Thoros. They thought this was a miracle from the Lord of Light." Linde explained in a deep voice, and then looked at Looking at Jon, he said: "You also experienced a resurrection after death, right?"

"Your Majesty, besides turning into a ghoul, can anyone be resurrected after death?" After Jon put out the fur cloak that was ignited by a spark, he finally couldn't help but feel confused and worried, and asked Lind.

Although Jon has heard countless legends about Lind in the past, saying that Lind is the god of storms, the god of natural disasters, etc., he thinks that they are just made up by some ignorant people who worship Lind extremely. thing.

Jon nodded and said: "I know, before the decisive battle with the Free Folk Alliance, Lord Berry and the red monk Thoros led some people to the Great Wall. However, they did not join the Night Watch Legion, but were stationed at He went to the camp of the Silent Monks, and later went to Eastwatch, where it was said that there was a boatload of warriors from Volantis who were going to participate in the war against the White Walkers, and they joined the regiment where those warriors were."

But now the legendary Children of the Forest pointed out very clearly that Lind was an ancient person who might become a god, which shocked Jon so much that he was speechless for a moment.

Linde looked at Ye Zi at this time and said: "I have been entrusted by Sparks to take care of you, the Children of the Forest. Once you have passed the Great Wall, I will send someone to take you to the Midsummer Hall to join your tribe. Then you will go south together. Sothoros continent, help me open up a migration place."

"A special being who is expected to become a god." Ye Zi briefly answered Jon's question, then pointed at Lind and said, "He, he is the Ancient One."

"Go to the continent of Sothothros?" Ye Zi was stunned and said: "We should stay here to help you resist the White Walkers, how can we..."

"What long night?" Although Jon was in a daze, he could still clearly hear the conversation between Lind and Ye Zi, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Perhaps because the sound was too loud, the Reed siblings and Osha all woke up at the same time and instinctively picked up their weapons. But when they saw that there was no enemy, they looked at Jon in confusion.

Lind did not answer directly, but asked Jon: "Do you know the legend of Azor Ahai?"

Jon nodded.

Lind smiled and said: "The legendary time is probably now. As for who is the reincarnation of Azor Ahai, it is unknown. It may be Stannis Targaryen, or it may be someone else, such as you. "

"Me? Impossible, impossible!" Jon shook his head repeatedly and said, "I am definitely not the reincarnation of Azor Ahai."

The Reed siblings, Osha and others were also attracted by the content of the conversation. They gathered next to the campfire and asked Jon what they had talked about. Jon was not stingy and quickly recounted the content of the conversation just now.

The Reed siblings and Osha were also surprised by the identity of the ancient Linde, and felt incredible that it was the first time someone had clearly known about the existence of gods.

Linde ignored everyone's surprise, but turned to look at Ye Zi and asked, "Is the Three-Eyed Crow really dead?"

Ye Zi was silent for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said: "I don't know. Although we have lived with him for many years, we still don't know what he is thinking in his heart, how much ability he has, and he will never tell the truest truth. Show us his side."

Linde turned to look at the Reed siblings and asked, "Can you tell me the complete story after you saw the Three-Eyed Crow?"

The Reed siblings looked at each other, did not refuse, and truthfully told the story of their meeting with the Three-Eyed Crow.

The whole process was unremarkable. They went through all kinds of hardships, passed through the blockade of the corpse, and finally entered the big tree hole. Under the guidance of the leaves, they saw the three-eyed crow. The three-eyed crow tried to let Jojian get it. The legacy of the Three-Eyed Raven, but ultimately failed, only inspiring Jojen's greenseer power.

Because the inheritance failed, the power of the Three-Eyed Crow suddenly weakened, and was detected by the White Walkers lurking nearby. In the end, the endless White Walker army greatly consumed the power of the Three-Eyed Crow and the Ancestor Weirwood, and broke through He broke through the Three-Eyed Crow's defense circle, entered the big tree hole, and killed the Three-Eyed Crow.

With the help of the Sons of the Forest, the Reed siblings fled to the underground city deeper under the big tree hole and hid in it.

Later, Benjen Stark also came to the underground city, and met the Reed siblings and others, and helped them resist the pursuit of the White Walkers and corpses, and escaped from another exit of the underground city.

"The White Walkers and corpses I killed that day came specifically to hunt you down. They were not accidental encounters, right?" Linde asked after hearing this.

"Yes." Jiu Jian nodded and couldn't help but touch the location of the wound. Although he had used the divine choice medicine provided by Linde, it had not healed. He could still feel the severe pain from the wound. .

Lind asked in confusion: "Why are the White Walkers chasing you?"

Everyone looked confused when they heard Linde's question. Only Jon seemed to know why Linde asked this question, and answered for everyone, saying: "Your Majesty probably wants to ask what is important about you." Is this thing worthy of being so pursued by the White Walkers?"

The Li De siblings had doubts on their faces when they heard this.

On the contrary, Ye Zi had a thoughtful look on his face and said: "You mean the Three-Eyed Crow is not dead yet. The White Walkers think that the Three-Eyed Crow is with us, so they have been chasing us."

Linde did not answer, but asked another question, "Jojian, why did you go to see the Three-Eyed Raven? Why didn't you go to Bran?"

Jojen was stunned and asked in surprise: "How did you know that we were escorting Bran to see the Three-Eyed Raven at the beginning?"

Linde said seriously: "Don't ask me why I know this. Answer my question first. Why didn't Bran go to see the Three-Eyed Raven?"

"Because before we crossed the Great Wall, we went to see Lord Willas. Bran felt that staying at the Great Wall was more valuable than going to see the Three-Eyed Raven, so Bran stayed." Meera answered for her brother: "Later, Master Willas gave Jojen a seed and asked Jojen to take the seed to see the Three-Eyed Crow, and then we left the Wall. Osha was originally going to stay on the Wall, but she was a free citizen beyond the wall. He is very familiar with the environment outside the Great Wall, so he followed us here. If it weren’t for Osha, we would have died on the way.”

When Osha heard this, she couldn't help but smile and scratch her messy hair.

Linde was silent for a moment and asked, "Has that seed been given to the Three-Eyed Crow?"

"Yes." Jiu Jian nodded and said: "After the Three-Eyed Crow got the seed, he fed the seed to a raven, and then he was ready to hand over the Three-Eyed Crow's inheritance to me. Unfortunately, I... "

"Where is the raven?" Linde asked again before Jojian could finish.

"The three-eyed crow gave that raven to my care," Jojian replied, pointing to the sky, and said: "It is flying in the sky now, acting as our eyes and ears. It will call to alert us when someone is approaching. "

"Can you call it down?" Linde looked up at the sky, his eyes passed through the dark night, and landed on the ravens flying around the resting point, and said.

Jiu Jian hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay."

After saying that, his eyes turned white and he directly possessed a few ravens, then controlled them to fall and fly to the ruined walls around the house.

Lind looked at several ravens and asked, "Which one is the one that the Three-Eyed Crow entrusted to your care?"

Jojen Reed pointed to a raven with a tumor on his forehead that looked like it had three eyes.

Linde waved to the raven, directly used telekinesis to control it, and caught it in his hand.

The raven seemed to know that it could not escape Lind's control, so it did not struggle and allowed Lind to inspect its body after grabbing it.

"Do you think the Three-Eyed Crow is on it?" Ye Zi came over and asked.

"You should know the power of the shapeshifter better than I do. Before the shapeshifter dies, he can transfer his soul to the animal companion he possesses. When he finds a suitable body, he can transfer it to a new body and resurrect it." Lin De said in a deep voice: "Because the soul is too fragile, when a shapechanger possesses the body of an animal companion, it will be affected by the animal's soul. When it is transferred to a new body, it will also be impacted by the remaining soul of the new body, so it will eventually be resurrected. This will cause the shapeshifter's memory to reappear, his abilities to be weakened, and his personality to change. But the soul of the Three-Eyed Crow is strong enough, and he should not be affected by this. He can perfectly transfer his soul to a new body. Just like when it was transferred to Bloodraven Brynden Rivers."

As he spoke, he shook the raven in his hand and said, "Do you think I'm right? The three-eyed crow."
