King of The Wall

Chapter 23 Is the plot difficult to reverse?

"It was originally a watchtower in Winterfell. I heard that it caught fire after being struck by lightning more than 100 years ago and was abandoned." With a jump in his heart, Igor quickly suppressed his emotions and answered truthfully, this kind of Winterfell If he can get the answer by asking anyone at random, he doesn't dare to let himself go and make up things, "I went in and looked at it, and it was dirty and messy, and I couldn't go up the stairs."

" Abandoned is right, Winterfell doesn't need a watchtower." Cersei followed the younger brother's line of sight and looked at the broken tower, with a contemptuous arc on the corner of his mouth: "In such a cold and gloomy castle, who would be out of their minds and lead the army. To attack and capture it?"

"Don't say that, for some wolves, a gold den and a silver den are not as good as oneself's kennel." James shrugged, laughed, "The fort has another What's the name?"

Igor could only pretend that he didn't understand the taunting of House Stark, and reluctantly introduced the first castle to Kingslayer. Said: "Night's Watch brother, why are you training here? Winterfell's school is not far away."

"I... like being alone," Igor shouted inwardly because oneself was in the way. Not good, he quickly explained, "Too noisy will seriously affect my performance."

"So, then I wish the wildlings you meet in the future are gentlemen and ladies who like quiet." Zhan The corners of Mu's mouth were upturned, obviously disapproving of Igor's words, "Good elder sister, shall we go in and have a look?"

"Here?" The queen frowned, looking up at the dilapidated castle again.

＊＊＊

What's going on?

Can't oneself stop the plot from happening here?

These daring two people, do they dare to ignore the existence of oneself and enter the first castle?

Igor felt an invisible hand around his throat and breathed rapidly: "My lord... it's dirty and messy, and there's nothing but rats and spiders."

"I don't expect anything in it, I'm just curious..." James smiled confidently, turned his head to look at Cersei again, "Good elder sister, if you're not afraid of mice and spiders, how about we go on an adventure, say Maybe you can find House Stark's ancestral treasure in the corner of the wall or something."

......

"How old are you to explore?" She frowned, trying to cover it up, " Whatever you want, just be careful."

"It's called being young at heart, mother of a country is frowned all day, people will grow old fast, come on." James walked towards the first castle, Before leaving, patted Igor's shoulder, "Night's Watch brother, you can train right here. My queen, Your Majesty, and I will go in and take a look, try not to disturb you."

Igor also What can be said? James wasn't discussing with oneself, he was just telling him. And House Lannister's sister and brother grew up together as a mother and grew up together. As everyone knows, they have a close relationship, and it is impossible for oneself, the Night's Watch, to point fingers. And if it is not clear about the plot, who can guess what they will do after entering the first castle just by looking at their appearance at the moment and the normal conversation before?

He could only nodded agree, standing there and watching the two walk towards the castle and enter it.

＊＊＊

What should I do?

Igor was at a loss. He hadn't experienced this kind of insignificance for a long time.

James has already opened his mouth to let him "train well" here. If he forcibly follows up with any excuse, tossing to the end, oneself replaces Bran and is thrown from the tower, it will be funny.

He was the one who wanted to rely on Tyrion to leave the Wall. He first offended Dwarf's two big brothers, elder sisters, and he didn't know how he would die in the future.

In an instant, countless thoughts ran through his mind, but one after another was abandoned by him. After some thinking, he decided to do what Kingslayer said - continue training here.

It is both a lookout and staring at possible bear children.

Preventing the Queen and a Kingsguard from "visiting" the first castle is naturally impossible, but preventing a ten-year-old child seeking death from climbing the wall...Even if Eddard Stark and his Lady know, they can't be punished for it oneself now!

The plan hadn't failed completely, and Igor walked to the archery target, pulled out the arrows that had been shot, and put them into the quiver, and walked back to the place to continue practicing.

 …

One arrow after another, Igor vented his anger on the target. Interestingly, in this case, his hit rate was reversed. It was much taller than usual, and more than half of the arrows shot were inside the white cloth that symbolized the key.

Unconsciously, an arrow shot into the air. Pulling the bow is a tough job. Igor's arm was already sore. He shook his arm and walked to the chair, ready to pack up and sit down to read a book.

"You shot really well." A childish voice came from overhead, making Igor almost jump up in fright. He turned to look, and was surprised to find the man he was waiting for.

Bran Stark, the second son of Duke of Winterfell, he is still young with red lips, white teeth, chestnut red hair and blue eyes like mother, outgoing and cute The face of Xiao Zhengtai has always been the favorite Young Lord of Winterfell female residents, no one.

At this moment, the boy in this episode is sitting on the wall of the old inner courtyard, swinging his legs and looking down at Night's Watch: "I can't practice well, even Arya is better than me. Shoot accurately."

When did this damn child sneak to that place?

Igor has no enemies in this world, and there will not be Others suddenly appearing in Winterfell. When he is training in this yard, he just stares at the entrance, and is naturally defenseless against the top of his head. Under the cover of the wind blowing through the towers of the house, when the boy did he appear, he didn't even notice it.

Igor's heart tightened and he opened his mouth, suddenly realizing that oneself had made a serious mistake.

He occupied the training ground at the only entrance to Godswood from the old inner courtyard, so he took it for granted that as long as he blocked this place, whether Bran was going to climb the remnant tower or the first fort, it would be inevitable. Have to pass by oneself. At that time, oneself can find a way to prevent him from meeting the Lannister siblings...Whether it is forcibly stopped by the strength of adults, or speaks loudly to remind the men and women in the tower, everything is under control.

But he missed one thing, Winterfell with a long history is like a giant tree of stones growing, grandfather planted a tree, father added a tower, son built a wall, grandson Add another small building... After dozens or hundreds of generations of Stark's transformation, it has already "looks" with twisted branches and intertwined roots. Densely packed buildings, courtyards and corridors make it look like a vast maze of greystone. For a child who loves to climb high, this is simply the best venue for activities. All the roofs and the walls that connect and separate each other are a playground for small rock climbers - if necessary, you can do so without touching the ground. Bran is a wall from somewhere other than a broken tower climbed through the old inner courtyard!

A strong sense of foreboding swept through the body, Igor widened his eyes and tried to calm the tone of oneself: "Oh... when you grow up, your arms will be stronger, and you will naturally be able to shoot accurately. , but what are you doing up there?"

"Fuck, I haven't climbed the wall for a long time, I'm going to King's Landing with my father tomorrow, maybe I won't come back in a few years... This may be I've climbed the wall for the last time."

Igor looked up at the boy and visually measured the height of the wall, it was more than three meters - if oneself jumped up and couldn't catch this kid, it could only be persuaded .

"It's too dangerous upstairs, you come down first, and I can teach you to shoot arrows."

"No, wait until King's Landing, I have time to learn... Listen to others, The targets on the King's Landing range are more than ten times the size of Winterfell!" Bran swayed his legs happily, "How can you shoot with such a big target and will not miss it!"

"Nonsense, so big What kind of diving archer can you make with a squat archer!" Igor swallowed and found a more surprising detail, "How come you are barefoot?"

"It is easy to climb a wall with bare feet. , and walking over the roof of the guard room without shoes will not be heard." The boy put on a smug expression that complimented me on my cleverness, put his legs up against the top of the wall, and swayed his arms from side to side to keep his balance. , scared the Night's Watch on the ground and reached for it, and then began to walk along the top of the wall to the guard room, "I'm going to feed the crow on the top of the broken tower, you can continue."

Hey you Sister's Crow! Igor was in a hurry, and suddenly he couldn't care about the difference in status. He continued to persuade while chasing the boy along the wall: "Boy, come down! It's so dangerous up there. If you don't take oneself's life seriously, your parents will be very angry if they find out. You know what!"

"I've never fallen." Bran continued walking along the wall without looking back, "and my father allowed me to climb the wall. What a great view up there. You'll never know if it's not beautiful. Robb will be the owner of Winterfell in the future, but I'm the only one who has seen the rolling hills and creeks and canyons outside Winterfell, and all the rooftops within the city wall!"

"Risk your life to see the scenery, what's there to be proud of!"

"che, you are so boring in black clothed clothes, I can't tell you, let's go."

The boy snorted, no longer paid attention to Igor's shout, went straight to the guard room along the top of the wall, someone looked at it and seemed to make him even more excited, and the last short paragraph actually used a trot.

Igor couldn't worry, threw away the bow and arrow and walked out of the passageway, going around to the guard room and continuing to stare at him.

Two fully armed guards just came out from the door of the guard room, and Igor greeted them as if he had caught a life-saving straw: "Where is your Young Master on the roof, don't you care!"

p>

"What?" The two guards were stunned for a moment, then looked towards the roof, and saw that their Second Young Master was running towards the first fortress with bare feet.

...

"Hey, leave him alone." Guard A shook his head.

"We were originally ordered by Lady Stark privately. When we saw Master Bran Young climbing the wall, we tried to chase him down." Guard B sighed, "Who knows that the more we chase after him, the faster he runs. , he just treats us as big children playing cat and mouse with him."

"Just play, but he wins every time." Guard Armor shrugged, "Instead, let's watch from below. I got trembling in fear. After several times, Jory told us to leave him alone, probably because Lord Duke meant it."

"So, Night's Watch brother, Wall is so bitter, it's rare for you to come here. Just enjoy your trip to Winterfell, don't worry about our Young Master."

The two guards walked away with a smile, leaving only Igor, who was like an ant on a hot pot, and stayed in place. Watching the bear child on the roof briskly run across the ridge and climb to the first fort next to the ruined tower, the silhouette was quickly blocked by the building of the guard room.

Night's Watch stayed for a moment, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, walking towards the passage back to the old inner courtyard. The plan has been in a mess so far, but as long as they can think of a timely reminder to the sister and brother who entered the "exploration" of the ruined tower, everything will turn around.

...

What Igor didn't know was that when oneself bid farewell to the two Winterfell guards and returned to the first castle, ready to stop Bran's fall in other ways , thousands of miles away from the north wall, in a deep cave under the roots of a huge Weirwood tree, a suspicious "Yi" also came out of the mouth of a being who was not a human being.

An ordinary Night's Watch appeared in a position that could obstruct his plan at just the right time, as if the goal was clear to oppose oneself, and he finally became curious.
