Chapter 345
The warm sunlight in the early morning reflects Wan Daoguang's awns on the milk-white glacier city wall, like colorful swords scattered between the earth and the blue sky.
Today, five wooden stakes were erected in the courtyard in front of Castle Black, on which five corpses were tied with hemp rope: two Others with amputated limbs, two Wights with no physical damage, one was Skinned boar Wights.
Dany, Stannis, Red Woman and more than a thousand people surrounded the courtyard, their eyes fixed on the Others in the field.
The sun rose, the shadow cast by the Castle Black wooden house receded little by little, and the sun spread little by little in the courtyard. Gradually, the golden and warm sun fell on Others and Wights.
"si si sizzle..." Where the sun shines directly, Others' head full of ice strands floats like a fire, making the sound of squid grilled on an iron plate, and the white mist is like steaming of water vapor, permeated around White Walkers.
"Ah uh-" White Walkers let out a roar of Ice bursting, full of pain and anger.
Dany pupil shrink , unconsciously approached, and looked directly at Others' cold and vicious star blue eyes.
She couldn't see the meditation glyph deep in the Others Consciousness Sea. When looking at Others and observing its magic power, it is a piece of ice blue fire sea, similar to the burning Heaven and Earth.
At this time, under the sunlight, the ice blue flames in Others' eyes quickly subsided, showing that his magic power was rapidly melting, just like ice and snow melting under the sun.
"ka ka..." Others' phantom Ice Armor, whose upper body is connected to the body, flickered with blazing rays of light, as if trying to reflect the sunlight on it, but it still couldn't. Avoid starting cracks.
Even the Others wailed under the Sun, and the two Wights were even worse.
The water vapor filled the air, and the struggling Wights began to melt slowly at a speed visible to naked eyes, like candles focused by a magnifying glass.
Milk-white's gravy dripped down his calves, soaking the ground. Then, a rotten stench permeated the air.
Well, when the corpse becomes Wights, it will stop the process of decay immediately, and the smell of the corpse is not heavy. If the corpse has been transformed into Wights long enough, the rotten smell it had before it has evaporated and will no longer have any smell.
Like ice, no taste.
At this point, under the sunlight, Wights, which had stopped decaying, began to rot again.
"Hey, some people here, take this Wights to the ice cellar." Dany took a few steps back, clutching his nose, and pointed at a Wights.
Two people and one pig, the three Wights are still struggling and writhing, but as if the wax figure has been scorched by fire, their faces are melted and their noses and eyes cannot be distinguished.
Although it was smelly and disgusting, four Night's Watches came over with a bundle of straw curtains, cut off the hemp rope that tied Wights on the stake, wrapped and wrapped it in circles with straw curtains. , and then ran towards the ice cave.
Well, although Castle Black does not have a city wall, the underground is full of tunnels, which not only connect all the towers, but also have many rooms inside, among which there is an ice cellar for storing supplies near the city wall.
Because the snow beyond the wall is too heavy in winter, it often happens that Castle Black is covered by four or five meters, seven or eight meters of snow.
......
Only an hour passed, and before Sun had reached noon, the human Wights completely disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, turning into a pool of stench and corruption Sewage, soaked the mud in the courtyard.
That wild boar, Wights, is a bit special, the skin is bare and the hair is removed, the stomach is also torn open, and the intestines and internal organs are taken out...
Dany seems to be able to Imagine the scene at that time, Wildlings hunted a big wild boar, shaved, gutted, cleaned, smeared with black and hard salt, lit a bonfire... A family with saliva hanging from the corners of their mouths, pitiful around , ready to have a fire roasted whole pig.
Then Others came out of the house and activated the "Soul Evocation" skill. The wild boar, which had not been lifted to the grill, opened its dim-blue eyes and stuffed apples, turnip, wild boars into its belly with drooling. Strawberry's Wildlings look at each other: You want to eat my old pig? Eat you first!
Real version, cooked Duck flew.
"Ai, does your Night's Watch have whole pickled pigs, sheep, and cows?" Dany looked strange as he watched the wild boars struggling to melt into milky white stinky water, "Maester Aemon, hurry up, give All the princes in the North wrote a letter that from now on the cured meat must be cut into small pieces, otherwise it would be too ridiculous to be eaten by their own cured meat! Hahaha..."
In the end, she couldn't bear it Live laughed.
"Oops, there's a lot of hams in the cellar, will they break free from the hooks?" Grenn face changed, exclaimed.
"hahaha..." The scene was so hilarious that Dany laughed even more cheerfully.
"Wights' broken hands and broken feet really move." Jon says with embarrassment.
"Really be careful with salted and cold whole bacon. It's better to make bacon with fireworks, half-cooked corpses that have been grilled will not come back to life." Melisandre indifferently said.
"Have you communicated with the Others?" Dany said strangely.
"I tried to communicate with them yesterday, but it didn't work at all, Wights, Others are all fierce and unafraid of death." Red Woman said.
"Can't the scorching torture in the sun make them succumb? It must be painful to see them in such misery." Ser Mallister frowned.
"Maggy the otter," Dany said to the Hornfoots old witch beckons with the hand in the crowd, "please come over here and ask this White Walker if he would surrender with dignity...uh , don't say surrender, just say cooperation, I want to ask this Others Ser to help with a few small things."
Several Sers in Night's Watch looked embarrassed and complained wildly in their hearts: Damn Others Ser, isn't it? Are you planning to have a "triple-lease agreement" with the Others? It's okay to fool the stupid and ignorant Wildlings with your idea of stealing concepts, and now even Others are lying, is it too much?
Lali's mother is called "Ottermother". Although she is a fake Woods Witch without magic power, she does have system inheritance.
Hill Tribe's ancestors seem to have a Greenseer, and the tribe's witch inheritance has not been broken for thousands of years. Hornfoots sorceresses don't necessarily have Sorcerer innate talent, but they all know archaic language, eccentric herbal knowledge, and some of Greenseer's secrets.
Dany suspects that the Hill Tribe has produced Greenseer because Ottermother has a bronze book about Greenseer. Made of thin bronze sheets, weighing two pounds, it is the size of a 10-inch tablet, less than fifty pages, without a trace of patina, and engraved with densely packed text and patterns.
Ottermother described some of the contents of the bronze book, most of which are very mysterious, and to the ordinary person, it is as incomprehensible as the Heavenly Book. But Dany knew that it was about how Greenseer felt when he entered Weirwood and observed the world.
Well, the bronze book was borrowed by the Dragon Queen, and she plans to use it to learn ancient languages.
A quarter of an hour later, the barefoot old witch turned to Dany and said, "Dragon Queen, it ignores me."
Don't say it, Dany and the others are watching. . The old woman had been talking for a long time, but Others didn't even move.
"Okay." Dany pointed to an Ice Armor with a completely shattered Others with a pale chest, and said, "Take this back to the ice cave."
The remaining one The Others stayed under the sun until about three in the afternoon, when their bodies began to melt. Either don't melt, and once it melts faster than Wights, in a few breaths, it becomes a pool of ice water with white mist.
There is no rancid smell at all, instead it has a peculiar cold fragrance, the fragrance is very light, except for a few people with good noses, most people do not smell it.
"Dragon Queen, the Wights that I put in this morning died and became a lump of ice." Night's Watch came to report.
"Leave a few more days, maybe it will slowly revive in Ice." Dany wasn't sure.
"Where's the Others?" she asked again.
"Others are alive."
Dany looked around, the Night's Watch and Wildlings surrounding the courtyard were mostly gone. On the contrary, the surrounding area of Castle Black was very lively. Thousands of Wildlings, led by Night's Watch, cooperated with Giant to build the outer city wall.
"Interested in trying your Lightbringer?" Dany asked, walking across from Stannis.
Second Stag, like her, has been in the courtyard, watching the sun's destructive power on Others.
Dany's proposal just came out, and Ser and Knight, who were bored nearby, were all refreshed, looking forward to looking towards Second Stag.
Stannis didn't speak with a sullen face, just squinted his eyes towards Melisandre.
Red Woman didn't hesitate, and said calmly: "You can try it, and I'd like to know what effect Azor Ahai's weapon has on Others."
Dany looked thoughtful , whether the sword is real or not, but Red Woman didn't deliberately lie to Second Stag, she thought oneself gave him the real Lightbringer.
"Go and bring the Others in the cellar who haven't been tortured by light, um, and Ice Sword and Wights, for comparison."
Wait for Night's Watch to lead the way and leave , she asked Red Woman curiously, "Where did you find the Lightbringer?"
Melisandre glanced at the long sword in the black shark skin sheath around Second Stag's waist, and said with a complicated expression: "Since it was thousands of years earlier, We foretold Long Night years ago, how could we not be ready with weapons against Others? This sword is enshrined at the ancestral altar by the Patrimony of Hyrkoon of the East, waiting for a new savior to appear."
" Can you show me the sword?" Dany asked.
Second Stag gave her a faint glance, remaining unmoved.
"hmph, this is a sword that can only be used by the Child of Prophecy, and ordinary people can't even approach it." "Giantslayer" Godry •Ser Farring said.
"I'm curious about its material, compared to Valyria steel, who is more tenacious."
Dany pulled out the Clearsky from oneself's waist, the smoke black blade in the sun Reflects a dull, frosty sheen.
"Or, let's draw swords and slash each other, who's sword is stronger?" She said with a smile.
At this point, seven or eight Night's Watches came with Others and asked, "Daenerys Your Majesty, are you going to be tied to a post?"
Dany regretfully put away his sword , looked up at the sky and glanced, and said, "Move to the west and tie it in the shade."
"Todder, Sam, Edd, Owen..." The leather in his hand was wrapped 's Ice Sword stuck in the shadows, Grenn waved and shouted excitedly to the friends who were building the wall in the distance.
"King Stannis is going to try his sword, the legendary weapon of Azor Ahai, the Demon Sword that blood sacrificed his oneself wife, Lightbringer! Lightbringer cuts Others, come and see!"
Second Stag's face darkened instantly.
"Wow, Azor Ahai vs. Others." Todder exclaimed excitedly, dropping the boulder.
"What? Stannis is going to duel Others, like the Dragon Queen did the day before yesterday?" Wildlings exclaimed.
After a while, the front yard was crowded with people again, and even Giant, who fought against a few Wildlings, came over.
Stannis gripped the hilt and gritted his teeth.
