Chapter 14 Direwolf

In the world Igor came from, the progress of civilization is in a typical spiral upward trend. While there are many twists, stagnations, and even reversals, the overall trajectory is clearly upwards…but that’s not the case in Westeros’ world.

Social development requires productivity. In the case of underdeveloped technology, productivity basically comes from population, and feeding people requires resources. The irregular climate of the ice and fire world makes resources extremely tight, and the continuous wars caused by competition for resources make The production of resources is even less guaranteed… In the case of Long Summer, it is good to say that in a winter that lasts a little longer, civilization will experience a rather terrifying retrogression. In this vicious circle of “people are needed, but human life is worthless; underdeveloped, it is impossible to develop”, it is understandable that the level of social and human development in the world of ice and fire is seriously inconsistent with the long history.

Igor can’t guess how much water has been in the so-called “tens of thousands of years” of history since the Dawn Age, but he knows that in this world, which is still in the era of feudal lords, it is the most sparsely populated world. North, the army doesn’t say that it can be pulled out immediately.

“I will contact the lords, and let each of the lords come out in proportion, and collect a few hundred to send to the Wall for support.” Eddard Stark and brother knew each other And the relationship is close, knowing that Benjen didn’t mean to offend, nor was he angry, but sighed and shook his head: “It’s the busy farming season, don’t expect me to provide much, but you can make a list for me, I’ll give it to you. You can think of a way.”

“The king, give me a chance to meet him, and I’ll talk to him.”

“Today when I was talking to Robert in the tomb , has already conveyed to him the news that Wall needs support, but unfortunately…he doesn’t care about these matters at all now, the situation in King’s Landing is tense, and he also asked me for help this time.”

” If Wall makes a mistake, North will suffer first, and at that time, you will help Robert to make King’s Landing a monolith, and it will not help.” Benjen said stiffly, and calmed down at the moment: “The benefits, you oneself Think about it. By the way, there is no shortage of regular materials and you can make a long-term plan, but there is one uncommon thing that really wants you to collect it for me as soon as possible – obsidian. You can buy some on the market, but it is expensive as a decoration And scarce, what Night’s Watch needs now is a lot of cheap obsidian.”

“I read in a book that Dragonstone has huge reserves of obsidian.” Igor interjected in a timely manner, “As long as It’s absolutely enough to be able to mine ideas.”

“I will write to Stannis to negotiate this matter and let him make it easier for you.” Ed snort disdainfully on Obsidian’s claim that Others restrained, but has rejected it I can’t continue to say no after a bunch of requests from my brother. He looked out the window: “It’s getting late, you guys go take a shower and change your clothes first, and prepare for the dinner party… Robert is an old friend, but he is also a king. If he is casually neglected because he is familiar with him, even if he does not If you don’t care, you will get caught.”

…

The two Night’s Watches said goodbye to Duke of Winterfell and left the room, and Igor walked towards the residence under the leadership of Benjen. Although the Chief Ranger swears allegiance to Night’s Watch, he is an authentic Stark after all. The room he has lived in since he was a child is naturally reserved for him. To Igor’s surprise, the former won a small room for oneself and also in Winterfell. Room.

It stands to reason that when the castle is crowded at the moment, oneself, an ordinary Night’s Watch soldier, an insignificant character, can grab a bed in a hotel in a town outside the castle. , how is it possible to enjoy the accommodation in Winterfell with a lot of Knight and Lady? However, Igor vaguely felt that, rather than preferential treatment, the element of preventing oneself from escaping in this arrangement might be bigger…

The various thoughts in my mind were constantly churning, and the two met head-on. a teenager.

“Benjen Uncle!”

“Jon.” A smile appeared on the preoccupied face of the Chief Ranger: “You’ve grown taller again.”

The visitor is lean, with a long face and dark brown hair exactly similar to Benjen. Although Igor can’t recognize this youngster, which is quite different from the image in the television drama, he can tell from the content of the two people’s greetings. Human Identity – Known to outsiders as the illegitimate child of Eddard Stark, the actual identity is Jon Snow, son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark.

Compared to the other party’s special identity, another thing beside him attracted Igor’s attention more: a snow-white little wolf, looking up at oneself curiously with those red eyes.

(What’s going on?! Because of the existence of oneself who is familiar with the plot, neither Gary nor Will escaped across the Wall, so the scene where a Night’s Watch deserter was executed at the beginning of the original plot would not appear …then the plot of House Stark’s group of children meeting the dead Direwolf on their way back to Winterfell from the execution ground will naturally cease to exist, so how did this damn little Direwolf get into Jon Snow’s hands?)

“If I’m not mistaken, the little fellow around you is a Direwolf.” Benjen Stark also discovered the existence of the little wolf, and asked cautiously: “There is no distribution south of the Wall, where did it come from?”

“The villagers found its dead mother on a road outside Winterfell, and Jory went to investigate and brought back a litter of wolves, exactly six…”

House Stark’s uncle The two nephews chatted casually, but Igor set off a heaven overflowing giant wave in his heart. Although the little wolf in front of him was small and cute, he didn’t do anything threatening to oneself, but its appearance brought a lot of attention. Gave him doubts about something: Can the passing of oneself have an impact on the story of Game of Thrones?

Because of oneself’s interference, Gary, who would have been a deserter and beheaded, was caught up by Others and was injured in the battle. Will, who was hiding in a tree, escaped and was not turned into a corpse by Waymar Royce. Kill, which allows the transmigrator to come to a judgment that oneself can affect the progress of the plot.

So, even though he was appointed by Benjen Stark to lead the way for the next out-of-the-wall reconnaissance, Igor still had a bit of luck in his heart: the Night King’s dead army had not yet been formed, but the Night’s Watch Legion had accepted it. Maester Aemon’s suggestion to start collecting obsidian through various channels. If you can bring enough Dragonglass daggers, Dragonglass arrows and even Valyria steel weapons before the next patrol outside the wall… Maybe it can change the situation of the initial battle of the human-ghost war, and it will have an advantage from the beginning of the war, greatly weakening Others threaten?

Under the influence of this kind of psychology, Igor’s will to escape is firm, but not so strong that he has to run-his plan is that this trip to Winterfell can be the best way to escape. If you don’t have a good chance, you will never take the risk of beheading.

＊＊＊

However, the appearance of little Direwolf made Igor nervous: in this world where Magic does exist, if you have to say that there is some mysterious power to make the plot It can’t change much, and it doesn’t seem impossible… Although oneself’s actions have changed the plot, but to put it a bit harshly, Gary and Will are both small characters not worth mentioning: they were born from humble beginnings. What an amazing career, and the constraints of being limited to Night’s Watch identity, it is difficult to leave Wall, whether it is dead or alive, and it has little impact on the overall plot of Game of Thrones.

But Benjen Stark is one of the undisputed big players. If the hypothetical power really exists, is he destined to disappear on the next wall patrol and be transformed into a living dead? If this is the case, then the oneself who followed him into the forefront of the human-ghost war, can has several points of grasping to survive and escape?

Thinking about the bad, according to the settings of some web articles I have seen before – the oneself who has changed the plot has been “exposed”, and the unknown existence in charge of the fate of this world may have planned to deliberately. Fuck oneself.

To find a way to escape, I need more snacks.

…

“What are you thinking, let’s go.” Benjen Stark has finished his reunion conversation with Jon, and patted Igor to pull him back from his thoughts to the real world : “Go take a bath, then change your clothes, and you will also attend the dinner.”

“Me too?”

“Of course, let alone the two of us in Winterfell at the moment. As a Night’s Watch, even if the entire Legion comes here, they will enjoy the guest-level treatment.” Benjen, who had just said goodbye to his nephew, still had a warm smile on his face, and his mood was obviously a little more relaxed: “Enjoy it. , and only in the North, Night’s Watch gets some respect.”
