What a coincidence?
Of course Egg knows what Maester Aemon is talking about - the death of the Prime Minister represents the beginning of the main plot. This was originally an important time point, but he was really in no mood to think about it now. His escape for nearly ten days and nights had exhausted his physical and mental energy. He had just managed to face several high-ranking members of the Night Watch and responded fluently, although it was useless. How much energy he had, but he felt as if every last drop of his brain had been evaporated by thinking. He was almost carried to the solitary room by two rangers, fell down and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.
The so-called confinement, which was actually semi-detention, lasted for several days. The life of confinement, which was extremely painful for ordinary people, made Ege enjoy it. He ate enough, slept and ate enough every day, and did not even participate in exercises. He was very comfortable. After dozens of hours, I finally regained my strength.
After enough rest, it's time to worry about your personal future and destiny.
＊＊＊
Littlefinger has killed the former Prime Minister, and in the next King's Northern Tour, Robert will invite Eddard Stark, the Guardian of the North, to take over this position... Immediately afterwards, Game of Thrones will Opening.
All of this has little to do with him as a Night's Watcher. The only relevant part is: the dead Jon Arryn was the guardian of the East Mirror, the ruler of the valley, the Duke of the Eyrie, Waymar Royce and his family. The loyal prince. It is unknown how "Bronze Yohn" would feel when he received the news of the death of his lord and the disappearance of his son at the same time, but if he was lucky enough to be too busy, he might give up on pursuing himself, the deserter who "killed" his son?
Iger smiled self-deprecatingly. Placing his hopes on other people's carelessness or kindness is a gamble, and it seems extremely stupid in this cruel world.
The anger of the Royce family is far away, so there is no need to think about it for the time being. He now has to face another burning problem: Benyan Stark was recalled to Winterfell by his eldest brother to attend the banquet to welcome the king. Waiting for this guy to return On the day of the Great Wall, he personally led the rangers north to search for the White Walkers and Waymar Royce... By that time, he who was named as the guide by the chief ranger would be like the ranger team in the original plot. Was the group destroyed in the same way, or was he turned into the living dead by the Children of the Forest like Benjen?
No matter which one, it is not a fate he is willing to accept.
Something had to be done.
From the brother in black who delivered the meal, Iger learned that Gary had woken up from a coma, so he decided to go to him in the name of visiting after lunch. If he had a chance to be alone, he might be able to ask about how to cross the Grand Canyon. Although his freedom was restricted and he couldn't go to the stable to pick up the horse or leave the camp, there was still no problem in walking around in Castle Black.
But before he made his decision and put it into practice, he was summoned by the top brass of the Night Watch.
(Should we leave now?) Egger walked into the conference room uneasily and found that the scene was like a replay of the day he was interrogated. The only difference was that there was an unexpected person sitting in the interrogation seat.
"Will, you're not dead!?"
"Eiger!" The other party turned around and shouted in surprise. The speaker looked quite haggard - Iger and Gary rode away the only two horses, while Weimar escaped from the war horse. In fact, he returned to Castle Black earlier than the previous two, which means that the poacher escaped back to the Great Wall without horses or any supplies. It took him longer and experienced more difficulties. If it were not for the richer wilderness survival experience brought by his past hunter life and the fact that he was not discovered by the White Walkers, he would never have been able to return to Castle Black alive.
Will, who was not fat before, looked like skin and bones at the moment. There was even half a bowl of hot porridge on the table in front of him... He was being interrogated while drinking porridge: "Seven Gods bless you, if it weren't for you, I'm absolutely dead!"
...
"What?" Egger didn't understand. The other party's survival was all based on his ability. Does it have anything to do with him?
"That day I hid in the tree and watched with my own eyes Sir Weimar being hacked to death by those ghosts. When they all left, it took me a long time before I got down from the tree." Will picked up the bowl with trembling hands and drank again. Mouth porridge, he made a scalding hissing sound: "I was about to find something to bring back as physical evidence... He...Sir Weimar stood up from the ground, his body was cut terribly, but there was a blue light in his eyes. , stretched out his hand to strangle me to death, his... was so terrifying, if you hadn't reminded me at the end to be careful of dead people, I would never have been able to react!"
So that's it! Unexpectedly, I was extremely nervous and used a casual sentence to save a comrade who would have died. But why call yourself here now?
He glanced around and saw something on the table in front of several legion executives.
Judging from the hilt, it was Waymar Royce's sword. Made of better stainless steel, it lasted more times in the collision with the White Walker weapons, but the result was more completely broken: except for about Apart from the palm-long sword tip, hilt and the base of the blade remaining intact, the middle of the sword was shattered into countless petals like a tree struck by lightning. It was really hard for Will - after seeing the White Walkers killing people. After the terrifying scene of the dead resurrecting, he was able to calm down and collect most of the broken sword fragments, and then traveled across mountains and rivers for more than ten days to bring them back to the Great Wall.
Nowadays, Weimar's broken sword...to be precise, the broken sword has been put together and "assembled" by someone who doesn't know Commander Mormont or whoever it is. As he said a few days ago, the broken pieces can be neatly broken. They are connected to each other, like broken glass, with almost no deformation after being put back together.
This is extremely powerful evidence for what you said! Egger's heart moved, and he suddenly realized that there might be a turning point that would be beneficial to him.
"You guys, please take Will down." Benjen Stark, who was sitting quietly aside, said, "Don't give him too much food at once. People who are extremely hungry will not realize that they have eaten enough. Rest. Good comes first."
Will was carried out of the conference room by two night watchmen. When he left, he was still asking Egger how he knew that the dead would get up. When the room became quiet, Bunyan motioned for him to sit down. Down.
"What Will said is not very different from what you and Gary said. Looking at his appearance, I don't think the three of you colluded to make him come back a few days late on purpose." Commander Mormont said seriously, "I now have reason to believe that there is indeed some kind of strange enemy north of the Great Wall... maybe it's a White Walker, maybe it's something else."
Will's words are certainly not the only factor that changed the minds of the top management of the Night Watch. In fact, During the few days that Egg slept and ate, they asked the blacksmiths of the Night's Watch Legion and conducted a series of experiments. The results proved that no one could break the standard steel sword issued by the Legion into a white Walker. That look. The broken sword brought back by the poachers this morning was even more exaggerated. In any case, Mormont did feel abnormal.
"I'm about to set off back to Winterfell. You make preparations and go with me." Bunyan took over the Commander-in-Chief's words, "I want you to report your experience to the Duke of Winterfell in order to apply for support... Take you with me The broken swords of three people, I made a draft in my stomach, and described it in the fastest and most concise language. King Robert is about to arrive in the north, and my brother will be very busy."
Maester Aemon nodded and added : "You don't need to be too deliberate, just like when you reported to us a few days ago, you performed well that day."
"I understand." Iger suppressed the excitement in his heart: "I... I will prepare now. "
