Game of Thrones: Dragons have three heads, not three-headed dragons.

Oris's ship sailed northwest for a day, and as the sun was about to set, it spotted its destination, Hardship Village, in the distance. By the time the ship reached Hardship Village, it was already late at night. Oris ordered the crew to anchor but not to leave the ship, and then returned to his bedroom. In his dream, Oris entered a tall weirwood tree hollow in a snowy field. Countless roots were intertwined in the hollow, and in the very center, Oris saw a three-eyed raven strung on a branch.

Oris remained calm, staring intently at the three-eyed raven's eye socket pierced by a twig, waiting for it to speak. The raven, unperturbed by Oris's intrusion, weakly said with its eyes closed, "I have never seen you, guest. I have never seen you in the annals of history." Oris was startled, unsure if the last green prophet had truly guessed his identity, but he remained unfazed and simply said, "You didn't call me here just to say something like that, did you?"

The Three-Eyed Raven's remaining eye seemed to come alive instantly. It lowered its head and scrutinized Oris with its last remaining eye, speaking again, "The future I see has no trace of you." Oris wasn't surprised, continuing to stare into the Three-Eyed Raven's eyes. Oris knew that Oris, Daren, and the others had never existed in the original timeline. While the Three-Eyed Raven claimed to be omniscient and omnipotent, its true vision likely only extended to the continent of Westeros. Even if Oris, Daren, and the others existed in the original timeline, the Three-Eyed Raven still couldn't traverse Westeros to glimpse their future.

Seeing that Oris didn't react to his words, the Three-Eyed Raven asked again, "What is your purpose in coming to the Great Wall?" Oris thought they were finally getting to the point, and then said in a flippant tone, "Daenerys is in my hands. I heard the Dark Sisters are in the Great Wall; shouldn't you hand them over?" After hearing Oris's words, the Three-Eyed Raven remained silent, but Oris seemed somewhat impatient and said, "Wasn't it you who brought the Dark Sisters to the Great Wall in the first place?"

After Oris finished speaking, he waited for the Three-Eyed Raven's reaction, because Oris knew that these words would definitely have an impact on him, since the Three-Eyed Raven's identity had been almost confirmed in his previous life to be Brynden Rivers.

The Three-Eyed Raven remained silent, only using its remaining eye to scrutinize Oris before replying, "Is all you want just a sword?" Oris was surprised; was there some other benefit? He spoke again, "If possible, I'd like to know the whereabouts of the Glutton and the Sheep Thief." Oris fell silent after speaking, and the Three-Eyed Raven glanced at him one last time before closing its eyes and saying, "You'll get the answer when you find me."

After speaking, Oris felt the dreamscape around him gradually become unreal, and he sat up in bed, rubbing his head. In their brief encounter, Oris could tell the Three-Eyed Raven meant him no harm. According to Oris's analysis, Brynden Rivers, as the Three-Eyed Raven's vessel, had long lost its own consciousness over time. The Three-Eyed Raven's mission, or rather its purpose, was to push the script of Westeros onto its predetermined trajectory.

Oris knew the Three-Eyed Raven's purpose, but the Three-Eyed Raven didn't understand Oris, so the temporary advantage remained with Oris. Early the next morning, Oris and his guards disembarked from the large ship, while the sailors set up stalls at Hardship Village to trade with the savages. As night fell, the savages would quickly retreat. After several days of trading, Oris was invited by a savage to his clan's settlement for further transactions.

When Oris and his companions crossed Stod's Horn and the Deer Horn River into the depths of the Ghostly Forest, they learned that the savage was actually Dingdangshan, a subordinate of the Skeleton King. This adventure had brought Oris and his group along to participate in the battle between Dingdangshan and the Dog-Headed Hama. As weapons merchants of this era, Oris and his companions were naturally welcomed by these men.

After a grueling two-week journey, Oris and his party finally arrived at the camp of the Dingdangshan tribe. Outside the largest tent in the tribe, Oris finally met their target, the Skeleton King Dingdangshan.

Oris carefully observed the appearance of the man in the jingle shirt. He was short, with a short beard on his chin, flat cheeks, and narrow eyes. There were a few clumps of thin black hair on his pointed bald head, and the bone armor on his body always made a jingling sound when he walked.

After meeting Ding Dangshan, Oris had a brief exchange with him, translated by Rams. Oris promised to sell all his weapons to Ding Dangshan's tribe in return, in exchange for Ding Dangshan's protection during their exploration beyond the Great Wall. Ding Dangshan even specially assigned 200 savages and spearwomen to join Oris's expedition. Oris asked Rams why Ding Dangshan had agreed to the deal so readily without resorting to robbery. Rams told Oris that with those 100 fully armored warriors, he could easily slaughter half the savages in his territory; Ding Dangshan probably didn't want to gamble.

After the deal was struck, Oris led an expedition of 300 men westward, then southward along the Milk River, intending to first visit the Fist of the First Men to see if the Horn of Winter truly existed there. With the help of Durotan, Oris frequently caught goats and deer along the way, making him quite popular with the spearwomen in the group. Almost every night, a thatched woman would try to break into Oris's tent, but fortunately, Durotan was there to guard it, preventing the thatched women from succeeding.

Half a month later, Oris and his party finally arrived near the Fist of the First Men. From a distance, Oris could see a ring of gray stones encircling the steep summit. Oris and his party quickly walked to the foot of the mountain and met the second group of savages Oris had encountered in the frontier. This group of savages numbered about four or five hundred, with the majority being women and children.

Among the leading savages was a man of medium build, wearing a wool and leather coat, with brown and gray hair. To avoid any misunderstanding, Oris handed the lance to Ramses and rode Durotan forward. When they were less than twenty meters from the savage leader, Oris stopped Durotan. The savage leader then took a trunnion from one of his men and spoke in Common, "Are you from within the walls?"

Oris glanced back at his army and called out, "I come from Essos, seeking the tallest weirwood tree beyond the Great Wall." The savage chieftain nodded slowly and walked towards Oris. Oris was not surprised; he was confident in his strength and did not believe that a middle-aged man could assassinate him.

When the savage leader was less than ten paces from Oris, he spoke, "My name is Mance-Red. Are you planning to make a deal?" Oris, seeing this, dismounted from Durotan's back and said to Mance-Red, "Our weapons already have buyers. If you need any other ironware, we can provide it."
