If you have to do something, you must first figure out what should have happened next - during the time the king stayed in Winterfell, how many major events related to the main plot happened in this world? ?
Searching his memory, Egg tried to recall the plot.
The wildlings north of the Great Wall gathered at the peak of the Frostfangs under the call of the King Beyond the Wall, trying to rely on the geographical advantage to defend against the White Walkers. After finding that the effect was not good, they began to plan a plan to go south. Egger hoped that he had nothing to do with it; Thousands of miles away across the narrow sea, Daenerys Targaryen, still a young girl, was sold to Khal Drogo by her brother and Governor Illyrio. The wedding was already being prepared, and the time travelers were helpless; In Winterfell, Duke and Duchess Stark received a secret letter from Lysa Tully Arryn, the widow of the former prime minister, their sister and sister-in-law, accusing the Lannister family of murdering her husband. Doesn't matter much?
Compared with these important events, the fact that a naughty child of a certain northern aristocratic family, who was not yet the eldest son, "accidentally fell" while climbing a wall was really an insignificant episode. But it happened that this little thing was now directly related to Egger's vital interests: Bran's experience was quickly exploited by Littlefinger who learned the news. Tyrion was framed as the murderer of Bran. After returning south from the Great Wall, Tyrion On the way, he was arrested in public by the angry mother he met by chance and was taken to the Eagle's Nest City in the Erin Valley. He suffered a lot before escaping death.
The stories and turmoil during this period may make people feel exciting and fresh through the paper or screen. If they are really involved in it, the danger level is probably no less than facing the White Walkers. Egg now just wants to follow the dwarf smoothly and stay away from the dangerous and arduous journey. The Great Wall of Despair, I don't want to risk my life to experience a different life.
...
From the mouth of the knight attendant of the Baratheon family whom he met at the dinner, Egg learned that the king and his party would stay in Winterfell for half a month. Brothers Eddard and Robert, who had not seen each other for many years, had endless exchanges and interactions. As the younger brother of the Lord of the North and an important member of the family, Benjen Stark and his brother must always accompany the kingdom's supreme ruler, whether out of courtesy or respect. This is good news - there are only two Night Watchmen in Winterfell at the moment. The chief ranger is busy with something, and non-Night Watch men, no matter how high their title level, have no right to point fingers at Egg, who is an official ranger...
This means With this, the time traveler will be left unattended during this half month, giving him enough time to do what he wants to do.
He originally planned to use this time to survey the terrain, collect intelligence, and plan his escape, but now that he has received Tyrion's promise of help, this matter is naturally no longer the first priority. Now, he has to find a way to ensure that the dwarf's southward journey goes smoothly.
The tragedy has not happened yet, so preventing it from the source is naturally the best choice.
As a guest, Egger had a good time eating and drinking in Winterfell. During these few days, no one was watching him and he was not required to work. During the day, he wandered around Winterfell to chat with people and learn more about the world. At night, he returned to his room to read about the history of Westeros and information about the major families... ...Occasionally, I have to continue to make up stories to deal with Tyrion, who is interested in the technology and culture of "taking", so my life is quite fulfilling.
After several days of inquiry and investigation, he first determined the location where the next important plot was about to take place - the first fort.
Winterfell was indeed built by Brandon the Builder, but perhaps in order to provide materials to the Night's Watch Legion to build the Great Wall first, Winterfell did not have walls at the beginning. Before the inner and outer barriers were established, history What do the Tucker family rely on to protect themselves?
Fortress and watchtower.
The northeast corner of Winterfell retains the defensive buildings before these two walls were built.
***
The ruined tower was once the tallest building in Winterfell, but it was struck by lightning and caught fire more than a hundred years ago and the top collapsed inwards. Since Winterfell already had a city wall at that time, and the Stark family firmly ranked as the first family in the North, this useless watchtower was never repaired. It is located next to the high wall in the northeast corner of Winterfell. It is surrounded by the abandoned fortress, guard room and mausoleum and forms the back of the old inner courtyard. It is inaccessible, both hidden and rarely visited... At the same time, it is able to climb and has a high height. The conditions that are enough to throw someone to death are most likely the place where the Lannister brother and sister's affair was discovered and Jaime pushed Bran down.
But after an on-site inspection, he found that the stairs to the upper floors of the tower had been damaged and people could not go up at all.
After wondering for a long time, he looked around the entire Winterfell without finding the second abandoned tower, and turned his attention to the abandoned fortress that he had ignored before.
The first fort is a round and short fortress, next to the original suspected target, the broken tower. Although it is as dilapidated as the broken tower, it has not collapsed because it was built more solidly. After reaching the top floor and looking down, Iger suddenly realized: The reason why I had the impression that it was very short was firstly because it occupies a large area and has a squat shape, and secondly because the nearby ruined tower is too tall for the human brain. Comparing the two subconsciously can easily lead to misunderstandings, but in terms of height alone, the first fort, which is four or five stories high, is enough to knock someone to their knees.
Now that the place knows, how can we prevent the plot from happening? Standing in the overgrown old inner courtyard, looking up at the tall ruined tower and the slightly shorter fortress next to it, Egger fell into deep thought.
...
catch the queen? He wouldn't dare to borrow Iger's courage. If the story of Binghuo was condensed into one sentence, it would be:
All mortals are destined to die, and the first bird is faster.
Even Littlefinger, who was cunning, sinister, omnipotent, and played with people's minds to the extreme, was immediately shot to death as soon as he came from behind the scenes to the stage... voluntarily giving up these advantages and jumping into the public eye?
Even if he doesn't consider the danger of becoming a loser, he still has to consider Tyrion, who is about to help him leave the Great Wall. The dwarf and the Lannisters, who are both siblings and lovers, are a family. If Cersei and Jaime's The relationship was exposed, and with Robert's temper, he learned that he had been cuckolded, which might turn the Lannister family into the second family in the world after the Targaryens that he would not stop until he killed them all. By that time, let alone helping him leave the Great Wall, it would be a question of whether Tyrion himself could walk out of Winterfell intact.
We must not use our brains from Cersei and her sister, so let Bran Stark stop climbing the wall? This is a good way to draw money from under the cauldron, but let's not talk about whether a small ranger who was sent to the Night's Watch for theft has the right to say such things to a young master of the Stark family, even if he has an idea. To convince a naughty kid to stop climbing the wall, you have to talk to him first.
Try it?
A few days passed without any progress. Tyrion and Egger became more and more familiar with each other. Jon would at least nod and say hello when he met Egger. Apart from these two people... he did not succeed in talking to any important characters. talk. The huge differences in social class and social circle make it difficult for him to even meet the central characters of the plot, let alone establish a relationship.
The cold reality dispelled the illusion that Egger's plan to approach Tyrion went smoothly, reminding him once again that he is still an insignificant role in this world.
Egger is an optimistic person. After being depressed, he actually felt a little bit lucky - if he hadn't hooked up with Tyrion through alcohol and a flash of inspiration on the day of the dinner, I'm afraid even the current progress would not have been achieved. Since The primary goal of leaving the Great Wall has been basically achieved. Changes to the plot or whatever, just let it take its course.
***
After thinking about this matter, Egger honestly enjoyed another day of vacation life, admiring the beautiful maids from the south in Winterfell, and watching the gang of young masters and young attendants holding blunt swords in the duel field. I yelled back and forth... After calming down, I quickly came up with an idea: If I can neither catch the rapist nor stop Bran from climbing the wall, why not try to prevent the two parties from touching each other?
If you can't start from people, then think of external objects!
The idea came to him, and he resumed his daily training and warm-up the next day, but the venue was not in the school grounds in Winterfell, but in the old inner courtyard surrounded by three buildings: the fortress, the mausoleum and the guard room. He brought in a borrowed scarecrow and a worn-out archery target, and also got a chair from his room. Egg would swing his sword at the grass target for an hour and shoot for an hour every day. After training, he would sit down and watch for an hour or two. Book... The daylight hours in the North are not long. He spent nearly half of the day in the open space under the ruined tower, hoping to dissuade the Lannister siblings who might come to have an affair: Waiting for Cersei and Jaime It's naturally impossible to drive them away after choosing a tryst venue. Then the siblings who have occupied the place in advance and are also guests can't force themselves to leave.
As for the possible impact that Bran's not being crippled would have on the subsequent plot, he could only ignore it for the time being - the top priority right now was to ensure that Tyrion helped him leave the Great Wall smoothly. How could he do it when he was still unable to protect himself? Can you care so much?
