#116Chapter 115 Upgrade
After Robb's training, Grey Wind could clearly feel that his body was changing.
This change was very subtle. It was not that he had learned some magical spells suddenly, nor that his body suddenly became taller. It was a kind of change that moistened things silently.
But Robb's ice storm was not spring rain, but a real winter.
Even if Robb cast a prayer of recovery, the biting cold could not be dispelled.
Grey Wind stood in the blizzard. The instinct of the beast made it escape from this dangerous place, but it looked at Robb who was helping it outside.
Then it looked at Bahamut, who looked gloating, but had already passed this stage.
A trace of perseverance quietly rose in Grey Wind's heart.
This kind of perseverance should not appear in wild beasts. The direwolf population has become almost the same as wild beasts in the era of magic fading.
But the emergence of emotions made Grey Wind seem to understand something different.
It began to grit its teeth and insist, not to let it down.
Bahamut saw that Grey Wind had persisted and stopped wailing. The mockery and gloating on his face also subsided.
It would also respect creatures and friends who faced difficulties.
"Very good, the vitality in your body seems to have been strengthened."
Robb saw the change in Grey Wind's eyes and knew that the first level had been passed and the progress would be much smoother in the future.
"Let's stop here for today's training. The repair function of the Golden Law has begun to decline, which means that your body has reached its limit. You should eat more meat like Bahamut, and we will continue when your body recovers."
As soon as Robb finished speaking, Grey Wind couldn't support himself and fell to the ground with his legs weak.
Bahamut took the initiative to grab Grey Wind and took it to the animal shed to eat.
The two pets left, and the two little figures who had just watched on the side also came out.
"Brother, is Grey Wind going to become a very powerful magical creature?"
"Brother, when can I make Bahamut willing to let me ride it!"
The two little guys who had been watching on the side were Bran and Arya.
Bran is learning gravity magic from Robb, and he can tell at a glance that Robb's training of Grey Wind has a magical flavor.
Arya doesn't know magic, she is learning combat skills, her posture is becoming more and more elegant, but she is emitting a more and more dangerous aura.
Robb looked at the two little guys and laughed: "You guys speak one by one, otherwise I don't know who to answer."
Bran came to ask about gravity magic: "Brother, are you leaving for war again soon?"
"Yes, but I won't leave right away. The soldiers still need to train for a while."
"Great, I can ask you a lot of things I don't understand!"
Robb touched Bran's head: "Gravity magic is indeed a more profound magic, but as long as you can learn it, you will definitely make some achievements in the future, and then you can be my legion commander."
Bran was delighted when he heard it, and then hesitant: "I heard that only people with pure hearts can achieve something. I just want to get rid of this wheelchair. Is it too selfish..."
"That's what the church says. As long as you are willing to study, no matter what your purpose is, you can make some achievements." Robb told Bran the story of an old friend.
"A long time ago, there was a general who was extremely brave, but his body became bigger and bigger, which made his beloved warhorse unable to carry him to fight. So he learned gravity magic so that he could continue to fight side by side with his warhorse."
"In the end, his gravity magic reached a legendary level and could even block the stars in the sky. He did it for his own selfish desires. Why can't you do it?"
Bran and Arya were both a little surprised. They couldn't believe that someone could block the rotation of the stars in the sky. How powerful a spell would it be to do that?
They suspected that Robb deliberately made up the story to comfort Bran.
"Arya, how is your basic combat skills practice going?"
Arya looked at Bran proudly: "Huh, I've practiced them all."
As she said that, Arya raised her arms above her head, and then Bran's eyes blurred, and he found that Arya disappeared from the spot and rushed directly towards Robb.
[Combat Skills: Sprint]
Robb was not surprised at all, and directly stretched out his big hand to grab.
Arya was horrified to find that Robb's seemingly ordinary move to dispel the attack, but her head actually hit Robb's hand.
[Battle Skill: Broken Steps]
Arya gritted her teeth, shook her body, and dodged to the side, thus avoiding her own "falling into a trap".
"Not bad," Robb praised: "You can change your battle skills immediately when you find that something is wrong and interrupt the previous battle skills. Arya, your fighting talent is indeed better than most people."
Arya may not have a strong body like the Mountain, but her fighting style is like a cat. She has perfect control over her body and is a top predator.
No wonder she was favored by the assassin of the Thousand-Faced God in the original timeline.
"And the sound of your footsteps when you attacked just now completely disappeared. It was the [Assassination Steps] that used the battle skill of Assassination Steps. It's amazing that you can use three battle skills in such a short time."
Arya was still a little disappointed: "So what? I still can't touch you, brother."
Bran was a little disappointed. Arya could do so many incredible movements, but he still couldn't get rid of the wheelchair.
Arya saw Bran's disappointment and smiled and comforted him: "I have been in Riverrun before, and my brother taught me a lot. You are learning by yourself in Winterfell, so of course you can't catch up with my progress."
Bran was still silent, and he made up his mind silently in his heart that he must surpass Arya's progress!
When he was a child practicing archery and swordsmanship, Arya always suppressed him, and Bran was often laughed at by his brothers and sisters for this.
Now he is learning gravity magic, and he must not lose again!
——
Robb taught the two people gravity magic and combat skills until the evening, and then returned to his bedroom in the king's tower.
Little Rose sat on the desk, calculating the consumption of Star City and High Garden.
She is now the queen. Robb knows that she is not the kind of woman who is willing to be a vase, so he handed over the private communication between Star City and High Garden to Little Rose.
At this time, Little Rose had a sad face, as if she was worried about something.
"What's wrong?" Robb came behind Little Rose and hugged the gentle woman.
"Nothing, just... a little worried?"
"Are you worried about your brother? It's actually very safe for the Knight of Flowers and Garlan to attack the Westerly from the south with 10,000 people." Robb comforted: "Although there will be many unexpected situations on the battlefield, their way is still very safe. There is not much resistance in the Westerly."
Little Rose smiled dumbly: "No, I'm not worried about my brother. I'm worried about my father. He wants to go to war with the people of the Hightower family."
Robb had already made arrangements: "Duke Mace will face the main force of the Hightower family, but don't worry, he only needs to hold on in Highgarden. The number of people on both sides is about the same, so there is no problem in defending the city.
Earl Redwyne's fleet will also be put into battle after transporting supplies, starting directly from the Arbor Island and threatening Oldtown directly along the river. At that time, the Hightower family will be attacked from both sides, and your father will lead people to fight. No matter how bad he is at fighting, he can win."
Little Rose listened to Robb's plan and knew that it was indeed foolproof.
But...
When she thought of her father's appearance, she smiled bitterly: "My grandmother and I are in Star City. There are only my father and elder brother in Highgarden. They... really make people worry."
Duke Mace has never won a battle in his life. The only victory was when Robert rebelled.
But at that time, Earl Tully defeated Robert with the vanguard of Highgarden. When Duke Mace arrived at the battlefield, the battle was over.
He could only boast of his achievements in gathering the remnants of the defeated army as defeating Robert, and he was laughed at by others.
For Duke Mace, his life goal now is to win a real victory.
Little Rose knows the character of Duke Mace, so she is worried.
Robb comforted: "I will write a letter to your father in person, asking him not to send troops to fight the enemy before Casterly Rock is broken. After we solve the Westerly, let him lead the battle to attack the old town of the Hightower family."
The weight of Robb's personal letter is heavy enough. No matter how much Duke Mace is eager to make achievements, he will not ignore Robb's request now.
Moreover, Highgarden is only Robb's nominal vassal now, and Robb cannot forcibly interfere with the Duke of Mace's dominance.
Little Rose turned back happily and held Robb: "Your Majesty~..."
——
During the period of military reorganization, Robb has been taking care of Arya and their growth.
Grey Wind is baptized in the ice storm every day and feels the magic of beast sacrifice prayer.
Basically, Grey Wind will exercise to the limit every day before stopping, and Bahamut is also moved and follows Grey Wind to receive training.
Bran's gravity magic originally encountered a bottleneck, so his progress was not very obvious when he was in Winterfell. Under Robb's guidance, Bran's gravity magic progressed by leaps and bounds, and because of the improvement of magic attainments, Bran's ability as a skinchanger was also developed.
Now Bran can attach his consciousness to Xia Tian at any time, control the body of the direwolf, and feel walking again.
Arya's progress is still as fast as ever. After learning the previous combat skills, Robb taught Arya the [Hound Step] combat skill and quickly got started.
In Westeros, as long as you can skillfully use the combat skill [Hound Step], it is basically difficult to find an opponent in close combat.
Arya is just an entry-level player, but she is indeed very talented.
Seeing that the strength of the two pets and the younger brother and sister has grown by leaps and bounds during this period, Robb is also very relieved.
Not only are the officers on his side constantly developing, but the power of the mysterious side is also developing rapidly.
It is easier to do things when there are more people. If all these people grow up, then during the previous naval battle, can the Drowned God still escape?
