Game of Thrones: Holy Sword of Light

Chapter 6 The Primordial Weirwood at the Nightfort
Riding on the white wolf.

have to say……

The fluffy feel, the smell of hair, and the feeling of moving his cheeks on the thick neck hair of the white wolf are real... ahem.

Sure enough, a man can't refuse the feeling of riding a gallop...

When running, not only is it more stable than riding a horse, but also more majestic.

"Lord Jon actually tamed a direwolf!"

"God, he's still riding on it!"

"Can this ride? As expected of Lord Jon!"

The ten people in the territory stared at Jon as though he was riding Xiaobai on the road. You must know that this direwolf is an adult giant wolf with a huge body, which is as big as a horse. The people in his territory changed their names to Jon, and they all called him Lord Jon.

And it comes from the heart.

Direwolves have special significance in the North.

The banner of House Stark is the banner of the wolf.

In addition to this period of time, Jon showed his miraculous druid ability from time to time, which made the people in these territories change their minds one after another, and they changed their names from the bottom of their hearts.

"My lord, the Nightfort is ahead."

At this time, Shita came forward and said.

This time they set off with a total of two carriages and three horses. This is already more than Ed Stark can give Jon. The northern border is poor, and raising knights and war horses is very expensive. These three horses They are all ordinary horses for farming, and they can also be used for riding.

Stone Tower, being an old warrior and a lame man, was allowed to ride Jon's horse, otherwise he had to sit in a wagon.

"Okay, riding a war wolf is really fast..."

Jon hummed, stroked the needle-like hair of the white wolf, and thought, when his power of nature becomes stronger, and he becomes a druid mage, can he tame more direwolves and give the people in his territory a better life? A man is matched with a wolf warrior! ?

Wolf Warrior Group, Wolf Warrior Tribe! ?
This is not wishful thinking, there are many bears and direwolves in the North.

There are direwolves everywhere here, and direwolves have no shortage of food with direwolves, and the direwolves are even easier to raise than war horses.

There are not many horses in the northern border itself, and only knights can ride horses. Although there are more than a dozen families in the entire northern border, there are only about 200 real knights, and most of them are infantry. This is because war horses not only eat horses Grass also needs to eat refined grains. In a place like the northern border where people barely have enough food and clothing, how can there be surplus refined grains to feed war horses?

With the three horses in front of him, Ed Stark was worried about whether Jon could support them.

Under the gigantic Great Wall of Desperation in front of him, a dark castle gradually emerged from the white cold air.

"The Great Wall really lives up to its reputation..." Jon nodded lightly.

In his previous life, he had seen many photos or movies about the Great Wall, but none of them could reflect the horror of the Great Wall.

The height here looks no less than 200 meters.Moreover, it is covered with pure white ice. There is a faint mist on the Great Wall in the early morning. This faint mist is actually not real fog, but the cold air formed by frost condensation. The whole Great Wall has a faint whiteness. The dim light, desperate and mysterious, is chilling.

Jon himself couldn't help tightening his clothes, and he was speechless. Although he was already an apprentice-level druid, compared to the Green Prophet Three-Eyed Crow, his ability seemed to be that he couldn't go back in time and enter other people's lives. dreams, but still feel cold...

Presumably, this is because the cold god is the enemy of all life.

The cold will take away the energy and light of all life, which may be the reason why in the world of ice and fire, all the gods, no matter old gods or new gods, are immortal with the Night King, the servant of the cold god.

Either light and heat dispel cold, or cold swallows light and heat.

The Long Night Fort is located 300 meters ahead. It is built against the Great Wall of Despair. From a distance, it looks like a huge stove. It was because the walls and fences in front of it had been burned, and they were black and covered with ashes.

Some of the stones were burned and cracked, and some were covered with snow, dilapidated and depressed.

At this moment, most of the gates that entered the Nightfort had also collapsed, piled up among the rubble.

"Why was it burned here?" Jon wondered.

"My lord, because some wildlings fled here to occupy the fort... In order to ensure that this fortress will not be occupied by wildlings, the night watchmen burned down the entrance here by themselves."

Stonespire knew something about the history of the Night's Watch, he said.

Jon snorted, and then came back to it.

Nowadays, there are only a few castles that the entire Night Watch Corps can really control. The huge Night Watch Corps, which used to have nineteen castles, only has four at this time, and they can still operate normally.

It is not easy to maintain such operation.

You must know that the night watchmen don't have much income now, all they have is dependent on support.

The so-called support, to put it mildly, is support, but to put it badly, it is charity.

If it weren't for the support of the night watchmen from the northern border, this group of night watchmen would not be able to stay here any longer, and they might have to beg for food...

In other words, the Night's Watch is about as good as a beggar now.

But they resisted the invasion of the wildlings, helped the Seven Kingdoms to block the cold wave, and in the future they will face the aliens, the slaves of the cold god. Jon doesn't know what to say, a typical case of tight front and rear...

Nodding slightly, Jon said, "Come on, let's go in and have a look."

The Nightfort was once the headquarters of the Night's Watch, but they abandoned it later.

The reason why they abandoned the Nightfort was definitely not because the fortress was not strong enough, the main reason was the lack of water here...

Yes, the Nightfort is right in the middle of the Wall, but there's no water here, ironic?There is snow all over here, but there is very little artesian water. There is only one relatively small well with water, which can only provide drinking water for about five to ten people. If there is too much, all the snow and ice will be burned.

Jon knows the reason, because there is a weirwood ancestor heart tree... It is said that Brandon, the builder of the city, planted it himself.

The primordial tree must have absorbed a lot of water, causing the groundwater around the Nightfort to run low...

But Castle Black, which now serves as the headquarters of the Night's Watch, is different.

Not only did Castle Black have ample water, but the fields in front of it were relatively fertile, and the Mole Village not far from Castle Black was still inhabited.

There are free folk who grow oats, wheat, and alfalfa that can be eaten by horses, and occasionally there are wandering traders, who can support the night watchman by relying on the mole village.

Over time, the Long Night Fort was abandoned, and it may not be less than a hundred years since this place has been abandoned.

Jon led people to climb over the stones of the gate and enter. There were cobwebs all over the inside, and there were ruins everywhere.

"Find a few safe houses here, settle down, and arrange two other people to watch at the door. Don't let your guard down," Jon explained.

At the same time, he also recruited his friends, a few chaffinches, and asked them to guard him around Castle Black.

Now he has been able to master the ability to share vision very skillfully, and he can see the scene in the distance, so it is not difficult for him. Aliens are widely found among wild people outside the Great Wall, and this ability is similar to that of shamans. , is also one of the abilities of the druids, which comes from the abilities bestowed on the ancestors by the old gods, and it is also the ability of the ancestors and the creatures in nature to get what they need.

After arranging all this, Jon took a buckskin water bag, filled some hot water, put his long sword on his back, led the white wolf, and walked towards the depths of the Nightfort.

The Great Hall of the Nightfort was still there, and after turning over some huge broken stones and roof beams, soon, among the ruined walls, a road was found coiled by tree roots and air roots.

Even if no one has come and gone for a long time, Jon can see that this is a "road".

"This is the root of the ancestral heart tree planted by the builder Brandon?!"

Jon clicked his tongue.

I have long heard that the Long Night Fort is a castle built by Brandon, the builder of the Great Wall thousands of years ago. There is a magical weirwood heart tree planted in the castle. It is not a rumor...

Nostril buzzing.

Jon can even smell the strong power of nature with his nose. This fresh breath is very similar to the oxygen of plants, the smell of green, and the smell of life. This should be the favorite place of the children of the forest, the three-eyed crow and the green prophet Will it be down here?
He carefully continued to explore downwards.

When Jon walked through the spider web-like weirwood roots and reached the ground, he couldn't help sighing: "My God!"

In the basement of the Long Night Fort, there is a space of several thousand square meters or more, filled with various air roots, all of which are made of weirwood.

It's a bit like the banyan tree I've seen in my previous life.

The air roots are as small as the thickness of an arm, and the bigger ones are as thick as a person. They are densely gathered like horned dragons, entangled and rooted under the Great Wall, and the other end of the air roots directly penetrates into the stones and ice blocks above the Great Wall. It seems to be integrated with the whole Great Wall...

The natural energy here, the power of life, is also extremely rich.

Jon took out a piece of dragonglass from his pocket. This kind of obsidian contains fire elements that can be used for lighting. He took a tree root that was in his hand, and used a dagger to slightly modify the top of it. Groove, set this piece of dragon crystal in it.

After silently chanting a mantra: "Give me light!", the dragon crystal staff in his hand instantly emitted light.

The faint pure white light gave Jon a lot of surprises. He raised his staff to shine on the road ahead, bypassing the air roots one after another, and finally came to the depths of the core where the natural energy is the most abundant...
