Chapter 348 Zhuang Zhou Dreams of a Butterfly and the All-Seeing EyeIgor swallowed.
Bran is exactly what Roose Bolton whispered to oneself that night at the Deepwood Motte, and honestly...it's still a little creepy even if you're prepared for it - not exactly a bad thing, at least He doesn't need to show his acting skills now to make really shocked expressions.
Of course, it's just a shock, oneself didn't really conspire with Old Flayer to overthrow House Stark, and it's not a guilty conscience... Whether it's this unfathomable mystery, "the chance is left for the The person who prepared", or the later thanks to oneself for "taking care of House Stark", is actually doing the same thing - proving to Igor that he can see everything.
Igor doesn't need proof, he knows its capabilities better than anyone in the world except Greenseer himself.
"Very well, then..." The Lord Commander of the Night's Watch pretended to swallow nervously and made a serious look of conviction: "Please, Master Bran Young, tell me where the Others are now, What conspiracy are you planning?"
"We'll talk about this later, but before that, we have to settle a little personal issue."
The boy straightened up from his chair. , the expressionless face began to show a bit of seriousness - seeing this situation, Igor also straightened up and left the back of the chair, tensed his muscles vigilantly, and touched his waist with his hands...
Reason told him that Greenseer wanted to deal with the stupid way of fighting oneself face to face, but the soldier's instinct was uncontrollable.
"I don't know where you came from, by whom, with what purpose. While it would be interesting to study how and why you popped up, now is not the time...I would love to believe you It's a hero sent by God to save mankind. Unfortunately, in some people's stories, I am God - no one knows better than me that there is no God in the world. There is only one thing I can be sure of about you, because probably you can't do the same. Explain the reason to me, you seem to know a lot of things that you shouldn't know, and have a profound knowledge far beyond this world." Bran said in a voice that was still young, but said old-fashioned words, "So mysterious, wise and learned Lord Commander Adults, might as well think about this question: I am the one who drives Brandon Stark's broken body, has all of Brandon Stark's memories and emotional tendencies, and loves his parents, brothers, sisters and close friends just like Brandon Stark before he became Greenseer, Is it Brandon Stark in the end?"
......
Suddenly from the exchange of battlefield information, to philosophical thinking! ? Igor is really wondering if the person in front of him is still Bran, but Greenseer doesn't seem to have the ability to read minds?
He immediately thought of a very classic question: Did Zhuang Zhou turn into a butterfly in a dream, or did a butterfly turn into Zhuang Zhou in a dream?
Wait...it's ridiculous, thinking about how to deal with the army of the dead is already exhausting enough, so let's leave this mental gymnastics to idlers! Igor soon decided not to be led by the nose, but a flash of light flashed in his mind at the next moment, and he immediately understood the subtext of the other party's words: Greenseer didn't want to think about this issue by himself, but to remind or demonstrate -oneself can't find any way to prove he's not Bran...even, in a way, he's Bran.
Between the old Greenseer and Brandon Stark, whether the former invaded the latter's body, or the latter gained the former's memory, or both, who can say? The important thing now is not to analyze the nature of Greenseer inheritance, but to use its power to win the Ice and Fire battle!
Looking at the Night's Watch in front of him with a hint of astonished expression, the boy twitched the corners of his mouth and made a not-so-bright smile: Talking to a smart person is to save trouble.
"I don't want your answer, I just want you to understand: I'm also on the side of the living - the Night's Watch, and you can trust me."
…
p>The progress of this conversation was completely beyond Igor's expectations. He tried hard to cover up his inner activities: he originally planned to pretend to be a fool to conceal his identity as a oneself transmigrator, but the other party was rude and laid bare the truth with one remark oneself's identity and mind, open the skylight to speak brightly.
Bran's actions exceeded all of Igor's predictions. He couldn't figure out how to respond for a while, so he could only hum, nodded, and continued to stare at the other party, waiting for the next sentence-although he broke the previous horn, But whether Bran can be trusted today depends on his performance. He, Igor West, was able to get from a transmigrator pawn to where he is today, not by blood and innocence.
"You can think about it after you go back. Now, let's continue the topic." Saying the call and forcing a smile seemed to drain the boy's energy, and he flopped back into his chair limply. , returned to the original weak appearance and sickly tone: "The skinchangers of the wildlings are now under your control, you should know something about them?"
Hey, the channel is really jumping Quick, fortunately, Igor's brain is not slow, and he quickly catches up with the rhythm: "I know a little, what I know is that Skinchangers have a certain innate talent, and they can control some animals through Magic to complete tasks such as reconnaissance, transportation, and attack. operation."
"Almost all said." Bran lightly glanced at him: "You asked me where Others are now, and I've always been concerned about that. It used to be easy to satisfy that curiosity. : They are scattered throughout the Haunted Forest and Lands of Always Winter, each searching for corpses that are still available in the area under oneself's responsibility, attacking and killing living creatures to increase the strength of the ghoul army - this is when they wake up One of the reasons for the delay in attacking Wall. But no matter how big the wall is, there is an end, and when they get together, things get troublesome."
The boy sighed like an old fogey , and then maintained a hesitant expression for a while as if recovering his strength, before reopening: "This starts with the way I detect the world. I can see everything, but this is not the same as 'knowing everything directly' 'It's not the same thing. I want to know the truth of something, either to know exactly when and where it happened, and then through Magic, to go back then and there with the spirit of its origin; or like a Skinchanger— Controlling a creature, staring at the person or thing to be tracked for a moment. But after the Others finished preparing for battle and began to move south, I found that one of them played the role of 'commander' or 'king' special Existence - the Night King in the legend - has the ability to counter my surveillance. Whether I am possessed by a living creature, or peeping out of thin air through Magic, he will be quickly detected and interrupted by him. Not only that, the Night King It can also cause irreversible damage to my body and spirit in an unimaginable way along the reverse direction of my detection... After a few losses, now I can only tell the general direction of the Others, and I don't dare to easily try to pinpoint the location. ."

Igor had already speculated and conjectured about the principle of Greenseer's "omniscient" ability. :
The time and space system formed by Magic plants like Weirwood is like a monitoring network that spreads all over the place where it grows. Record and archive. And Greenseer's ability is to go deep into this network spiritually, like "retrieving monitoring records", to realize the knowledge of the past and what is happening.
However, no matter how inexplicable this magical innate talent is, Greenseer's brain, the physiological limit of human beings, is there: they are like lonely workers in a single-person monitoring center. For the astronomical level of information that comes from hiding the sky and covering the earth on the entire wall, only a small part of it can be selected and browsed. What Greenseer wants to know and investigate, he can get to the bottom of it, but if he doesn't know or hear about people or food at all, he can't start.
The ability of all-seeing is really strong to the extreme, but the limitation is very limited: Greenseer must first know or have a strong enough connection with one thing, in order to follow the clues, understand and explore more. Many - for example, if Igor hadn't tried to stop little Bran from falling from the main castle in Winterfell three years ago, he would not have returned to the land grant three years later and controlled the real power of Night's Watch Legion through a lot of operations and made drastic measures. reformation, and thus become the supreme commander of the living side against death... Then Greenseer will probably not think of it until the end of the world... Go look at the origin and life of an ordinary Night's Watch, and find that oneself is appear out of thin air, Identity is a mystery.
Weirwood is a medium that spans time and space, but it does not have the ability to discriminate and process information like the supercomputer in the movie. To Greenseer, the world is like a large-scale strategy game without a small map, although it is full of maps. All eyes are inserted, and the whole picture is recorded, but at the same moment, the player can only see a small frame on the screen forever. If Greenseer wants to deal with the Others and the dead, he has to focus on the Wall and its north side, and never bother to turn his head from time to time to peek at others, especially allies... See if Igor, the transmigrator, or anyone else has In the idea of dealing with oneself.
While Igor is guarding against Bran, who may not be Bran now, why isn't Greenseer more afraid of his unfathomable foreigner? But now is not a good time to be suspicious of each other and to guard against each other. The final battle is imminent. If the major event is broken because of insignificant details, who should be counted?
The same as Ser Denys Mallister - the big picture is the reason why Bran, or the new Greenseer, will be in this room today to discuss mystic-related issues openly and honestly with Igor in order to gain mutual trust!
＊＊＊
Igor was nodded casually, but his mind was spinning fast: even a casual sentence of such a transcendent can reveal a huge amount of information. Bran's explanation at least confirms the speculation already made by oneself - Greenseer's ability is not direct omnipotence, but a conditional "all-seeing".
Since the guess and the explanation are not contradictory, he intuitively believes what Bran said. Although what the other party said may be true and false, and oneself does not always follow intuition, but for a Stark who has an ability that oneself cannot understand, but has a special identity and oneself is not easy to move his mind, he even There are still doubts, and it is impossible to express them face to face: "Okay, Mr. Greenseer, at least you can make a rough judgment, and you are better than us-I don't know if it is convenient for you to estimate now, where are the Others at the moment and what are they doing?"
