Ice and Fire: Conquering the World Starting from the Wall

Good news! I escaped death twice, what a stroke of luck!

Bad news: I've been transported to another world, a world that is still incredibly barbaric and backward.

When a man named Brynden Rivers, nicknamed "Blood Raven," voluntarily "shared" his memories with him, Lynn quickly understood the situation he was in.

This is a world with supernatural powers, but its technology is backward (or even non-existent), though the existence of many gods and monsters makes up for it.

For example, during his time travel, he accidentally stumbled into the lair of the Green Prophet, which then caused a fire that destroyed his physical body.

What a coincidence!

Moreover, the fact that he was still alive and kicking even though the return capsule made a hard landing without slowing down suggests that some force was at play behind the scenes.

The Three-Eyed Raven's physical body was about to perish, and it was waiting for a new, bewitched vessel to come to it. Unexpectedly, it was outmaneuvered by an unknown entity.

According to Blood Raven's memories, each of the Three-Eyed Raven's transfers had to use a qualified "container," which was selected from a group of people known as "Shapeshifters."

Those who can change bodies are born with the ability to mentally invade and control the consciousness of animals. They can observe and act through the bodies of animals and share their senses such as sight, hearing, and smell.

One in a thousand people can become a shapeshifter, and only one in a thousand shapeshifters can become a Green Prophet.

Only the Green Prophet can be a suitable vessel for the Three-Eyed Raven.

The Three-Eyed Raven is also the strongest Green Prophet. He is the amalgamation of all the Green Prophets throughout history. Once someone becomes the Three-Eyed Raven, the personality of the vessel will be overwhelmed by the Three-Eyed Raven's will and lost in the vast memories accumulated over millions of years.

The previous container, Brynden Rivers, became the Three-Eyed Raven under temptation.

The specific reason is unverifiable, as the memories left by Blood Raven are fragmented and chaotic, with a large portion missing.

What is certain now is that the Three-Eyed Raven will not perish, but will only be damaged. Each time it enters an unsuitable vessel, its power will decrease, and today it has entered unsuitable vessels twice in a row.

The first one was an accidentally hatched baby dragon, which was the worst possible choice.

Dragons possess powerful magic that clashes with the Green Prophet's power; entering a dragon's body is like putting ice and fire in the same container.

However, He was trapped by the power of the flames and had no other choice, so He impatiently transferred into Lynn's body almost the instant He hatched.

Although Lynn wasn't even a shapeshifter, he was still much better than the dragon. But the Three-Eyed Raven miscalculated once again because of the language barrier.

The Three-Eyed Raven understands almost all the languages ​​in the world. Although its abilities are limited to the areas where weirwood trees grow, its silent accumulation over millions of years is terrifying.

Time is always the most powerful force.

As an outsider, Lynn's language was completely different from this world, which made them incompatible from the very basic code level. When the Three-Eyed Raven turned to steal his memories, trying to use them as an anchor, the sheer volume of movie images terrified him.

Humans cannot imagine things they have never seen, and neither can the three-eyed raven.

He couldn't read the language and words in Lynn's memory, so he naturally couldn't understand the concept of movies. Therefore, He took those bizarre, magical, and world-destroying movie scenes as Lynn's real experiences.

What kind of extraterrestrial demon is this?

Compared to the people before me, Westeros's rise and fall over the past tens of thousands of years since the birth of intelligent life seems like a child's game.

Realizing this, the Three-Eyed Raven almost immediately chose to flee.

To avoid causing even greater losses, it had no choice but to sever its tail to survive, escaping this seemingly desolate but actually terrifying and unpredictable body by giving up some of its power.

Meanwhile, Brynden Rivers, whose will still remained, took the opportunity to separate himself from the Three-Eyed Raven.

Then, in a near-self-destructive manner, he left the fragmented memories he had "collected" in Lynn's mental world, and the last wisp of his spirit possessed the symbol of his family, the newly hatched dragon.

When he was still the Three-Eyed Raven, Brynden possessed intelligence on almost the entire continent, but influenced by the will of the Green Prophets of the past, he could only choose to stand by and watch, which went against his nature.

In his early years, Brynden, then Duke of Bloodraven, helped the king rule the Seven Kingdoms with his strong intelligence and governing abilities. Although he was an illegitimate child, he was loyal to the royal family and did not hesitate to break his oath and sacrifice his personal honor in order to suppress the rebellion.

As a result, after becoming the Three-Eyed Raven, he could only watch helplessly as his family suffered the tragedy of Summerhall and was slaughtered in the War of the Usurpers.

This caused him great inner turmoil, and his long life also bore him. So when the opportunity came, he resolutely chose to break free from the clutches of the Three-Eyed Raven, even if the price was extinction.

Brynden's family had lost their dragon for over a hundred years, and his descendants had paid an extremely heavy price in order to hatch a dragon.

This unexpected hatching was nothing short of a miracle.

It should be noted that this dragon egg was secretly seized by Duke Bloodraven from the Butterville family of Whitewall during the Second Blackfire Rebellion in 211.

He kept it by his side for decades without any activity, but he never expected it to hatch on this day.

Blood Raven's choice to attach his remaining will to the dragon's body can be considered a decent end for him.

Lynn sighed inwardly.

However, now is not the time for sentimentality. This place is located on the edge of the land of eternal winter, the area where the legendary followers of the god of cold, the "White Walkers" (also known as the White Walkers), are said to be active.

This area, originally covered by weirwood, was protected by ancient magic, preventing the followers of the Cold God from finding or entering it. But now, the protective magic has disappeared along with the forest that has been burned to ashes.

As dusk approached, Lynn couldn't help but shiver.

He's a typical loser in the information age, unable to lift a finger or do anything heavy. Except for a last-minute cramming session for his space trip, he's mostly in a state of sub-health. He could easily be killed by White Walkers or wildlings.

White Walkers and wildlings don't care about mind invasion; they'd probably just come at you with knives and axes. Wraiths, on the other hand, don't even have brains; they only know how to kill the living.

Furthermore, scaring away the Three-Eyed Raven is a once-in-a-lifetime event. By receiving the Blood Raven's memories, Lynn passively learned several common languages ​​of this world, including Common, Ancient, and Higher Valyrian.

If the Three-Eyed Crow realizes what's happening and launches a counterattack, things could get really bad.

Fortunately, he possessed some of the abilities left behind by the Three-Eyed Raven when it escaped, so he wasn't entirely without the ability to protect himself.

Lynn is a man of action. Some time ago, he won a space travel qualification in the lottery and spent all his savings to board the spaceship without saying a word. Otherwise, things wouldn't be like they are now.

The situation was not good, so he ignored the potential side effects, rolled his eyes, and activated the enhanced shapeshifter ability derived from the Three-Eyed Raven.

Like the legendary projection of spiritual power, Lynn's perception instantly broke through the limitations of the physical body, covering a radius of about fifty meters. However, this perception was not visual, but an insight into life force, which was extremely energy-consuming.

Lynn estimated that this ability could only be maintained for thirty seconds; any longer and it would affect his mental state.

Ordinary shapeshifters need to establish a connection with the animal they are possessing first, and only after a long period of adjustment and complete familiarity can they enter remotely.

Unlike the Green Prophet and the Three-Eyed Raven, they can freely enter the bodies of animals within their perception range, even if the other party is a living person, but whether they can control them depends on their own abilities.

The human spiritual world is too complex, and rashly entering it often leads to serious consequences. If one is too weak, one will be devoured; if one is too strong, one can refer to the transfer ritual of the Three-Eyed Raven.

After scanning the area, Lynn found only himself and the newly hatched dragon within his perception range. He couldn't find even a hibernating insect, presumably because the previous fire had scared them away.

Without wasting any time, he directly entered the body of the newborn dragon.

This is different from the Three-Eyed Raven's transfer of will. Simple mental control is not too repulsive. In addition, the dragon is still very young, and the violent nature it was born with has been completely washed away by the Three-Eyed Raven's invasion. This makes Lynn's possession exceptionally smooth, and he sees himself from another perspective almost immediately.

Unlike human eyes, dragons have vertical pupils, giving them a superior ability to control the amount of light entering their eyes, maximize vertical depth of field, provide excellent night vision, and accurately measure distances. This makes them a "hunting vision" tailor-made for ambush and hunting.

So, apart from slight distortion and a little blurriness on the left and right, the visual effect Lynn saw at this moment was almost perfect. As the light dimmed, the night vision effect also improved.

Because of the novel and unique perspective, Lynn couldn't help but take a good look at himself.

He saw that he was wearing a standard cabin suit, which made him look bulky, with only his head showing. Because it was a short trip, he hadn't cut his hair short, and his medium-length black hair was casually loose. He had thin features, typical of the eastern coastal areas of China, and because he hadn't shaved for a few days, stubble had grown on his cheeks and chin.

Unfortunately, the baby dragon was still very weak after birth and had been harmed by the Three-Eyed Raven again. At this time, it was very weak and difficult to control for a long time, so Lynn did not try any other actions.

However, when Lynn possessed the dragon, he could clearly sense its aversion and disgust towards the cold environment, and in the depths of its almost blank spiritual world, the remnant spirit of the "Blood Raven" was silently wandering.

It has lost itself, leaving only a trace of its former obsession.

This obsession, to some extent, replaced the dragon's will. It resonated with the remaining memories of the Blood Raven in Lynn's mental world, making the dragon easier to control.

Perhaps this was all arranged by Blood Raven beforehand, as a way of thanking Lynn for indirectly helping him get rid of the Three-Eyed Raven.

Since things have come to this point, there's no need for further words.

As the first "person" Lynn and Bloodraven interacted with after arriving in this world, they actually helped each other. Looking through Bloodraven's remaining memories, almost all of them were related to his family, the Targaryens, which shows how deep his obsession was with maintaining his family's orthodoxy.

"I'm barely able to take care of myself right now, but if I ever encounter any of your family members in the future, I'll definitely lend a hand if I can."

Lynn released this will from within the dragon's body, and then it returned to his own body.

The dragon, which had been lying listlessly in the ashes and was only the size of a house cat when shrunk down, seemed to understand Lynn's meaning.

It suddenly flapped its wings, then flew and crawled up Lynn's body to his shoulder, its extremely sharp, blood-red claws tearing several threads from the ultra-high flame-retardant outer layer of meta-aramid material.

The young dragon, almost entirely crimson except for silver-gold stripes on its belly, stood crookedly on Lynn's shoulder. One wing rested on the side of his neck, and its slender neck was raised like a snake. Lynn could feel the astonishing heat contained within its body through touch.

Perhaps it was because it had been possessed, or perhaps it was the will of the Blood Raven, but in any case, it seemed to have accepted Lynn.

Who says only those with Targaryen blood can tame dragons?
