Sword and Magic and Taxi

Chapter 237: Cruel god

This time, the night watchmen found something remarkable on the north side of the Great Wall of Extremis: three completely frozen bodies. It is common to say that freezing to death in the snow and ice is common, but this time it is very different.

No frostbite can make the blood in the blood vessels turn into black powder, no cold can make the pupils of the sky blue, and no frostbite can make the muscles as brittle as glass.

The three people found were all rangers of the Night Watch. They had entered the ice field with Banyang Stark and disappeared together. Now they reappear, but it is certainly not a good thing. The situation of the chief ranger is worrisome. What is hidden in the vast snowfields that can make the man who is the strongest night watchman still missing.

Moreover, how did these three bodies get near the Great Wall? It was found that there was no blood and no signs of fighting near the place where they were found, which shows that they did not die here, but were moved over. Who would do such a thing for what? Countless questions hovered in Xiong Lao's head. He needed to find the answer. First of all, he thought of Bachelor Yimon.

"Open the door, take them back, and let Master Yimon see." Old Xiong touched his beard, then turned to look at Sam Weir, who was about to be scared by the corpse to pee his pants. Rarely praised: "Sam, you find These doubts are very important, and you performed well. You are fat, but you are not stupid. And Xuenuo, you did a good job."

Sam flushed immediately and hurriedly wanted to thank him, but his tongue did not obey. Jon couldn't help laughing, and knelt down and rubbed Bai Ling's head. It was it who discovered the abnormality and led everyone to find the corpse. It is also the only animal that is not afraid of the smell of the carcass. The other horses and dogs are frightened by the carcass, and they dare not approach it at all.

"Okay, let's go back!" After Mr. Xiong finished speaking, he rode on the horse and meditated. The weather outside the Great Wall of Impasse is getting worse, and a warm wind is followed by a heavy snowfall. The ice and snow that had just fallen melted quickly, and the branches were dripping with water, like another rain. In the records, this weird weather is called "Ghost Summer," and it only appeared before the extremely dangerous winter.

Old Xiong knows that the future will be difficult. There will be heavy snowfall in a few months, and then winter will continue for many years. He is not worried about winter, because the Great Wall of Impasse can block the wind and snow in the north, and the black castle is also warm enough. But the hidden enemy worried him. In previous years, savages would sneak over the Great Wall and go to the south to rob and rape. What about this year? The huge winter is coming, will they get worse?

The strength of the night watch is not as good as before. If you don't proactively detect the danger and don't respond to the danger in advance, isn't there a dead end? Mormon was thinking all the way, he didn't want to be the commander of the last night watchman.

The group of people who went out for reconnaissance slowly returned under the Great Wall, and the horn of the black castle (the top half of the wall) sounded with a long and powerful "Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh..." It represented the return of the rangers. The two beeps represent a savage enemy attack, very simple and understandable signals.

Jon and Samwell looked at each other. Although they are both clerks, this horn means that they have been Rangers for at least one day! "You are also a Ranger, Sam." Jon punched his friend on the shoulder.

"Really? You too!" Fat Sam raised his eyebrows, looking very proud. However, because of this, he saw the three corpses dragged behind him on the wooden board, and the feeling of nausea came up again. It is estimated that he can't eat today...

After hearing the signal, the gate of the frozen tunnel opened, and Chief Secretary Bowen Marsi was standing in the first gate, running up quickly, holding a letter in his hand. "My lord, there is a letter from a bird. You will want to see it as soon as possible."

"Huh?" Mormon was deeply surprised, and he yanked the letter, and everybody was very curious about the contents of the above, and Jon noticed that the general secretary had been watching him with indescribable eyes.

After reading the letter, Mr. Xiong didn't speak for half a minute. "Powen, you can arrange to find a place to put the things you brought back. It seems that Master Yimon can't get his hand for the time being, I'll go find him now." Then, he turned his head and looked at Jon. His lips trembled, and he said, "Xue Nuo, when you finish your work, go to Master Yimeng to find me. I guess...in two hours."

After speaking, he rode his horse forward and galloped through the frozen tunnel to the black castle.

The three corpses were carried into a storage room at the foot of the Great Wall. It was one of countless cold rooms carved out of the ice wall. They were used to store meat, grains, and sometimes ale. Bowen thought he had found a good place, and threw the body in after choosing an empty space. "Let's go, you all need to be warm." They closed the door without any need to lock it. The low temperature will affect the work of the locks, and the dead are not prisoners, so they won't move, why lock the door.

When they came out of the tunnel, they saw Zhao Mai standing in front of the door, peering into it. The magic of the Great Wall of Despair is still strong. After Zhao Mai tried it, he could walk up to ten meters in the frozen tunnel. After that, the frost began to hang and the blood slowly solidified. He estimated that even if he transforms into a "white ball" and uses an elemental body to avoid freezing, he will insist on walking halfway at most, and then he will run out of strength and freeze into ice alive.

This is why he can only stand at the tunnel entrance and look around. Zhao Mai immediately greeted Jon when he saw Jon, stretched out and held his hand: "Welcome back."

"Uh, thanks... thanks." Jon was a little strange. Soon after, Zhao Mai went to shake Samwell's hand again, "Welcome back."

Maybe it was some kind of passionate custom he didn't know, Jon thought. Estimate the time, you can go to the cafeteria and ask for a cup of steaming stuff, no matter what, as long as it is wine. Then, I can take two cups of such things to Master Yimeng, and give Mr. Xiong and Bachelor one cup. That's a good idea!

He planned this way, and he did the same an hour later, but he didn't expect Mr. Xiong to let him drink one of them first. "You need to sit down and listen to a message."

Jon felt bad, tried to calm himself down, and did what he said.

"The king is dead." Old Xiong said.

Jon was shocked. He met the king half a year ago. He was a fat but healthy man. He hadn't heard of any disease. Why did he suddenly die?

Then who is the new king, should it be that annoying Joffrey? He would definitely not let his father continue to be the hand of the king, which means that his father and may have to return to Winterfell. Maybe he could ask Mr. Xiong to go back and have a look, just like Uncle Ban Yang did. His father promised him last time and told him about his mother when he met again. He didn't care even if she was a prostitute, he was grown up, and the man of the night watchman, the ranger, knew everything.

"You are mentally prepared, the above is bad news." Mormont said: "Master Ed is currently in prison. He is accused of treason. The letter says that he and Robert's two younger brothers conspired to seize Geoff. The throne in here."

"Impossible!" Jon said immediately: "Never possible! Father said nothing to betray the king!"

"Whether it's true or false, it's not my turn to make irresponsible remarks. Of course, it's not your turn to say anything," said Mr Xiong.

"But that's a lie!" Jon insisted. He knew his father too well, he was a man who regarded honor above life, and he had no blemish in his life. But...maybe there is another stain, that is, an illegitimate child.

"My lord, what will happen to him, will he be executed?"

"I don't know." Mr. Xiong said, "I will write to the important officials of the kingdom, such as Sir Barristan, the head of the Imperial Guard. I have a good relationship with him. Whether your father has done this or not, he is a man. A terrific lord, so even in the worst case, he must have the opportunity to join us in black. Although he will no longer be the Duke of Winterfell, you also know how much we need to be like Ed A person so talented as an adult."

There was a fire of hope in Jon's heart. There was indeed a precedent for a person accused of treason to go to the Great Wall to make atonement. Why couldn't Lord Ed? If I can see my father here, it might be a good thing, because it means that my father belongs to him only, the night watchman.

"The only problem lies with the queen." Old Xiong said: "Joffrey is young, he must listen to his mother, maybe his uncle will do. Unfortunately, the dwarf is not by their side. He has seen the predicament of our night watchman, Witnessing the urgency of our urgent need for assistance, I would be willing to help us persuade! Alas, your mother arrested him like that, it is really inappropriate..."

"Mrs. Stark is not my mother." Jon said sharply. Tyrion treats him like a friend, but Caitlin Stark is not like a mother. If the father is really killed, she and the queen have to bear the same responsibility. Jon suddenly remembered something, and immediately became worried, and hurriedly asked: "My lord, where are my sisters? They are all in King's Landing with my father, do you know..."

"I don't know, I didn't say in the letter, I will help you ask." Old Xiong said: "Damn it, when is not good, but this time. I have smelled the most terrible winter is coming~www.NovelMTL. com~The king is in need of a strong ruler. Robert is a real warrior, and Joffrey? This name makes me uneasy! Why is this when I need all help!" Xiong Lai said meaningfully Jon glanced at him: "Boy, I hope you don't do stupid things! Now your duty is here. From the moment you put on your black clothes, you are dead in the past. No matter what happens to King's Landing, It has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with us."

Jon nodded blankly and took another sip of wine. Those are his father and sister, how could it be irrelevant?

"You can go now. I don't need you today. Take a good rest and write to me tomorrow!"

As a result, the owner of the ice wolves got up and retired as if in a dream, bowed mechanically and left. If Bai Ling hadn't been pulling his clothes, I'm afraid he would fall down the stairs.

"Hey, Jon, I don't think what you need right now is not the ice wolf, but the guide dog." Zhao Mai didn't know where he emerged from, or was he waiting here? By the way, I heard that he, like Sam, was arranged with Bachelor Yimon, so he must have known the content of the letter a long time ago!

"The gods are cruel," Zhao Mai said: "It's better to eat a golden pill!" (To be continued.)
