Chapter 19 Winterfell

"The story takes place in a continent called "Sunset Kingdom". After thousands of years of changes, the leader of this continent is Robert Baratheon, who overthrew the tyranny 15 years ago. In this summer when the warm sun is fading and the cold winter is approaching, King Robert, who is far away in the south, suddenly travels north and visits his friend, Lord Winterfell, who is guarding Ed Stark in the north, and asks him to go south to serve as the imperial prime minister above ten thousand people. A seemingly simple request is actually a turbulent tide behind it.

The simple king, the honest prime minister, the ministers with each other's heart, the princes of all directions who are respectful to the army, the whole country only relies on a thin string to maintain the surface peace. When the string is broken, the country is once again trapped in endless wars. What is even more terrifying is that those ancient legends and long-extinct creatures are returning to this land..."

When Zhang Xinyi came to his senses, he was already in a mud with a smell of dampness and corruption, and the rigid and unchanging electronic synthesized sounds echoed in his ears.

The thick and thick black trunks on the top of the head are huddled with each other, the twisted branches wove a dense towering treetop above the head, and the deformed and tangled packs are swaying against each other underground. This is a deep and silent primitive jungle.

"Is the landing site this time a primitive jungle?" This was the first time Zhang Xinyishang saw such a primitive forest.

"Information collection...build a model...path identification...it is expected to walk out of the jungle in six hours and twenty minutes..."

Zhang Xinyi thought for a while and walked towards the chosen direction...

In the dark and primitive jungle, the stones are covered with moss. If you accidentally walk on them, you will easily slip into the mud. The ancient trees in the thousands of years lie everywhere, exuding a scent of moisture and rot.

Suddenly, a terrifying shout came from a distance. A hunter staggered and suddenly tripped by a piece of dead branches that crossed the ground. He fell heavily on the mud. Almost at the same time, a silver-gray giant wolf suddenly rose into the air, causing a fishy storm to rush up from behind.

The pupils contracted violently, and the predator's awesome power made the hunter's body stiff and unable to move at all.

With a "bang", a figure hit the side of the giant wolf like a siege car, bounced it away.

The silver-gray giant wolf twisted his waist in the air, and turned over and fell to the ground with four claws. His silver pupils stared at the man in front of him. With the amazing intuition of the beast, it felt that this man was completely different from the hunter who ran away in front.

"Be careful, it's a dire wolf!" The hunter in the mud got up and made a terrified sound.

"Didylvania..." The man showed a look of interest on his lips, and it was Zhang Xinyi who had just arrived in this world.

The wolf's feet are short and small. They have long legs, a much larger head than ordinary wolf, long and prominent mouth and nose, and a fierce and cunning light in their eyes. They are worthy of being the top predator at the top of the Northland biological chain.

At the same time, the direwolf's instinct also told the man in front of him that it was very dangerous, but his hungry belly made it unwilling to let go of the "food" in front of him.

A wolf is a very cautious animal. He will not easily take action. He slowly paces to find the other party's flaws and emits a thunderous blow whenever he has the chance.

With a "bang", Zhang Xinyi accidentally stepped on a dead branch under his feet, and his body fell back uncontrollably.

A huge hideous figure flashed like lightning, and its sharp minions pointed directly at the warm blood vessels between the man's throat like the coldest killer.

"Beasts are indeed beasts!" With a sudden whistle, Zhang Xinyi's waist shrank and shook, his body raised in the air in mid-air, and his fist suddenly blasted out from top to bottom, slamming the wolves' waist and abdomen at an angle of wonder.

An animal like wolf is known as copper-headed, iron-bone, tofu waist. Zhang Xinyi's punch hit the nail on the head. He heard a shrill scream of "Ao" and the coming wolf flew back at a faster speed, hitting a big tree and sliding weakly to the ground.

The dire wolf, a creature grown up in an extremely harsh environment outside the border, has extremely tenacious vitality. This is equivalent to twice the strength of an adult man, but it failed to kill it, but it also made it dizzy and lost most of its combat power for a while.

"Aowu..." Ice-diid werewolf glanced at Zhang Xinyi in a sexual manner, revealing a look of fear, and finally howled with his tail between his feet and turned around and ran away.

Zhang Xinyi also stood there and did not catch up.

"Sir, why don't you kill it?" The hunter rescued by Zhang Xinyi said carefully.

"For the sake of his soon-to-be mother," Zhang Xinyi turned around and asked with a smile, "Do you know where the nearest village is?"

...

"Sir, are you a knight?" Lisa, the daughter of the hunter, asked curiously in a low stone house with mottled marks on a wall not far from the forest. She was a beautiful girl with long black hair and brown eyes, staring at Zhang Xinyi curiously.

Zhang Xinyi smiled and rubbed her little head, "Why do you ask like this?"

"Dad said you saved him from the claws of the dire wolf. I know that the dire wolf is the strongest beast in the north."

"I'm sorry for letting you down, I'm just a mercenary."

"Oh." The girl felt a little disappointed, and she lowered her head and continued to chew the potatoes in the bowl.

"Sir, please forgive her. She just heard too many stories about knights at her neighbor's house." The hunter brought a pot of cooked soup to the table, exuding a strong aroma of meat. "Please use it, thank you for your life-saving grace."

Lisa put down the potatoes in her hand, looked at the meat in the pot and swallowed hard, but her parents glared at her and quickly lowered her head.

Zhang Xinyi smiled and picked up a piece of meat for Lisa, and suddenly asked inadvertently: "How to get the nearest road to Winterfell?"

The hunter was stunned and said, "Winterfeld of the Stark family? Oh, there are many roads away from here, and I heard that His Majesty the King is about to visit Lord Stark recently. You want..."

"This is an opportunity, isn't it?"

The hunter suddenly showed a glorious expression. On the Westeros continent, there is only one way for civilians to become knights, which is to swear allegiance to a nobleman and become the other party's retainer. In the hunter's idea, since the other party has such skills, then the king's visit to Winterfell is the best opportunity to become a knight.

"Tomorrow there is a caravan that will pass by the village and go to Winterfell to trade, and you can follow them to go."

"Thank you." Zhang Xinyi nodded.

In the middle of the night, a low knock on the door rang outside Zhang Xinyi's door.

"Who is it?" Zhang Xinyi rushed directly behind the door with his toes and asked in a low voice.

"Sir, it's me." The weak girl's voice.

Opening them, Zhang Xinyi looked at the girl Lisa in surprise, holding a dim oil lamp and looking up at him.

"Lisa, what are you doing so late?"

The little girl suddenly fell into Zhang Xinyi's arms, trembling slightly and said, "Please teach me how to fight, tonight... Lisa is yours..."

Zhang Xinyi didn't want to refuse, "No, you are still so young."

The little girl looked at him with a slightly strange look, "I am already thirteen years old, my first menstruation has come, and I am still **."

"Who cares about whether you are not." Zhang Xinyi was amused and crying, "Well, who taught you... these?"

"My mother," Lisa said with a sad expression, "but she was killed by a savage when I was ten years old."

He raised his head and looked at Zhang Xinyi with a look of expectation and longing, "If I become a powerful person like an adult, I can avenge my mother."

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

"I can go with you!" Lisa's eyes were firm, "I'm just a girl, and my dad won't stop me."

Looking at the girl's firm eyes, Zhang Xinyi smiled slightly, "You will be sad when you say that. One night... is enough to teach you something. As for whether you can learn it, it depends on your own efforts..."

Behind the door, the eavesdropping hunter sighed slightly and quietly let go of the axe in his hand.

...

The next morning, the morning was cold and with a hint of loneliness. The dark sky in the distance was penetrated by golden light beams.

Zhang Xinyi set out from the hunter's home and bid farewell to the reluctant Lisa and his daughter. A group of about twenty people, together with the caravan staff, set off from a nearby village at dawn, loaded with livestock and poultry for sale, and slowly headed towards Winterfell.

The girl Lisa looked at Zhang Xinyi's distant figure, and her fair but slightly freckled face showed a firm and tenacious look, "Sir, you wait..."

She said to herself in her heart, "I will practice what you taught me seriously. One day, we will meet again."

The barren land, frozen roads, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance were even filled with a cold smell in the air. Everyone sat on the cart pulled by the animals, and as they breathed, they sprayed white air from their mouths and noses. It was obvious how low the temperature was.

This is the northern border, south of the Great Wall, north of the Neck Scenery.

"Winterfell is here!" Suddenly, an excited shout broke the tranquility of the convoy.

From the perspective of sight, a majestic castle is displayed in front of everyone, protected by two huge granite walls and a moat between them. The outer wall is about 80 feet high and the inner wall is about 100 feet high. There are many guard towers on the outer wall, and the inner wall is densely covered with ? Look holes.

The gate tower is composed of two huge fortresses, guarding the suspension bridges leading to the market on both sides of the gate. The destination of the convoy is the market in Winterfell, where they must sell all the livestock today and return to the village before dark.

After arriving at the location, Zhang Xinyi paid the team leader ten copper coins for the fare, and separated from the team...
