Chapter 668
He wears a purple face mask, resembling a gas mask, revealing a pale, wrinkled forehead, and a pair of pale blue eyes; a thin layer of thin, brittle white hair on top of his head; a double-breasted White velvet dress with empty sleeves, seemingly armless, white lambskin trousers, and high brown riding boots.
"The Seven is up!" Sam's small terrified eyes widened, deng deng deng took a few steps back, his fat face turned pale, and he howled: "This is the Others, you let the Others out, you betrayed Seven Kingdoms human beings, take refuge in - Cold God?"
No matter how much the other party dresses like a gentleman, even if he wears a mask, fatty recognizes it immediately through the pair of blue flashing eyes. identity.
Others!
"scoundrel!" The triangular-eyed Maester who had brought Sam into the Citadel at the dock shouted angrily, pointing at Others dressed in Seven Kingdoms Noble: "This is Ser Ace, don't be rude."
>"He's obviously Others, don't think I can't recognize him just by changing his clothes." Sam said with a chubby face.
"I am, beyond the wall, clan people." Others stumbled behind the iron fence.
Sam pupil shrank and said in disbelief: "You can speak?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that oneself was stupid. Of course Others can speak, or are they higher intelligent beings!
"Don't you only speak the old language?" Sam asked, and was surprised that Others' voice no longer stings Soul like the explosion of an ice lake, "What's the matter with your voice?"
p>
"Ser Ace's voice has a Soul attack. After our research, we found that Dragonglass can effectively block the sound waves that are harmful to humans." A hunchbacked old Archmaester excitedly said.
"This is mysticism Archmaester, Harodon," Robert Frey whispered as Sam introduced.
"As long as there are mainstream languages in the world, Citadel has mastered them. The so-called ancient languages are only the language of the First Men, which is not difficult for us.
If we can speak ancient languages, we can also Can teach Ser Ace simple common language." A lanky Archmaester said proudly.
"Archmaester, Guyne, both historical and archaic," Robert added.
Sam said blankly: "What do you teach him Common Tongue?"
"Search for the truth, restore the truth of history." Seneschal Theobald left his seat and tapped Sam on the shoulder a few times. He said, "Thank you for bringing us Ser Ace and unlocking the secrets of Long Night and Others for mankind."
"What secret?"
"Ser Ace, Please introduce myself, so as to resolve the misunderstanding between Night's Watch and your tribe." Archmaester Seneschal said softly, facing White Walkers in the small cell.
"My name is..Ace, the...Magnar of the Always Winter Tribe, we have invaded the North, but we are not...the devil who brought Long Night.
We...we are also human, like Children of the Forest, the Demihuman of the previous era..."
The well-dressed Others are really like a polite gentleman, putting oneself, oneself tribe , the history of races, and the origin of Long Night.
In short, they have been living in the Lands of Always Winter, neither the Ice Magic First Men in "Lies of the Ancients", nor the evil force "bringing Long Night to the world" in the mouth of Night's Watch.
"Ser Ace is also a lord beyond the wall, and deserves the title of 'Ser'. We should use the etiquette to treat noble captives and give him the necessary respect." The tall and thin mysticism Archmaester said.
"I really saw Others! Do you believe in other's nonsense?" Sam shook his head repeatedly.
"At least they didn't bring Long Night. Now that Ser Ace came to Oldtown and only made the basement cooler a little, Long Night didn't come.
And in the past thousands For years, the clansman of Ser Ace have been living in the extreme north Lands of Always Winter, they believe in the Old Gods, although they are not the First Men, they are not very different from the First Men." Archmaester Seneschal said.
"You haven't seen Others babies, they turn human babies into Others, beyond the wall First Men?" Sam excitedly said.
"Even if what you say is true, what can you prove? According to legend, Snarks and Grumkins also steal human children!
The Human Race in Wildlings is more Not uncommon.
At most, Ser Ace is the enemy of North.
It would be too much to make them responsible for bringing Always Winter to the world."
"I don't want to talk to you about the origin of Long Night," Sam shook his head and said seriously, "Wall was threatened by Others, and I brought Others to Citadel for only one purpose - to call on Seven with Maester's network of connections. The Kingdoms nobles end the civil war and fully support Wall.
Whether Long Night will come or not, and no matter why Long Night comes, it is true that the Others intend to capture Wall."
"Wildlings There have also been attempts to take down the Wall and invade the North, but now the Wildlings are allies of the Night's Watch.
Ice clan of Lands of Always Winter, why can't we be friends with us?" Archmaester Seneschal said.
Sam was surprised and angry and looked around, seeing all the Archmaesters either nodding in agreement, or being silent, and said angrily: "You guys are crazy, I'm going to tell Earl Hightower, tell Dragonstone Dragon Queen, tell me on Wall. Night's Watch."
"Excuse me, Your Excellency Ace."
Archmaester Seneschal bowed to the Others to give a salute, then pulled Sam out the door with a cold face, all the way down the dark tunnel Walked forty-fifty meters and entered a small well-lit room.
"Are you a pig brain?" Archmaester Seneschal scolded: "If you are not my race, your heart must be different. I don't understand this?"
"What?" Sam, with an indignant expression, was dazed.
Archmaester Seneschal's thin lips flipped up and down like a machine gun, and said quickly:
"It doesn't matter if the monster you brought is Others, First Men, or whatever he is. It is an ancient relic, but it is a fact that humans know nothing about them.
Now he is willing to speak up, no matter what is true or false, he can always extract some useful information and understand the social structure of the monster family. , the population, and the reason for going south, the secret of Long Night... oh, no, there is no Long Night!"
"Are you tricking his intelligence?"
Sam suddenly realized, and then admired the Archmaesters in Citadel, Jiang is old and hot, he didn't see it before!
"Will the Others be fooled?" he questioned.
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest. Since we humans are the protagonists of the world, it means that humans are better than other species, or stronger, or more intelligent.
Then Monster is born with powerful Ice Magic, stronger than human power, so it must be inferior to human in wisdom, and Maester is the smartest among human beings.
Smart people lie to fools, not as it should be by rights Huh?"
Archmaester's square face was filled with pride.
Sam nodded again and again, looking at the long chain on Archmaester's neck, it's really not just in name only, but also in reality, the analysis is so reasonable, so logical, he can't find the slightest weak spot.
"Archmaester Theobald, be careful, Others Ice Magic is tough, and a steel cage can't hold it." Sam reminded.
"Don't worry, it's safe, there are more than 100 pounds of Wildfire buried in the ceiling!" Theobald said to himself.
"What?" Sam was startled, "The Conference Hall that we were in before?"
"Of course, in addition to Wildfire, there are more kerosene and gunpowder, once activated, Make sure he's alive and dead."
"But, before we..."
Sam was frightened for a while, and Archmaester activated the trap if Others raged. He must die, but he doesn't...
Seven Hells, when we talked before, those Archmaesters all looked natural, and no one even glanced at the roof, what kind of psychological quality is this?
It is worthy of being the ruthless who designed Dance of the Dragons, murdered Dragon Queen, and hard anal Faceless Men.
Fat Sam suddenly had a real respect for these Archmaesters: not the kind of character, but the spirit of seeking death that is not afraid of death, who can compare?
“What useful information could Archmaester swindle out of?” Sam asked.
"Of course, Ace is only a small lord, and above him there is a monster king, all lords are completely obedient to the monster king..."
Archmaester Theobald His face became more solemn than ever, and he slowly said the information that oneself had learned.
Not necessarily informative, but very organized. Obviously, Archmaester is also the right medicine, and the acquisition of information is very purposeful.
To be honest, Archmaester did want to destroy the corpse and evidence before the Others got to Oldtown.
To admit Others is to admit that the "real world" that Citadel has insisted on for thousands of years is a joke.
——If the threat of Others is always present, and only the power of transcendent can resist them, then the act of destroying the Magic power of mankind is like self castration.
If the real world is a joke, then Dance of the Dragons, led by Maester, is a complete sin, enough to shut down Citadel.
But when the Others appeared in front of them in person, some Maesters remembered the responsibility of oneself - when Maester got the chains, he would issue a sacred oath to serve the people (nobles).
even more how, as scholars, they themselves have the spirit of seeking truth.
This is a contradiction?
Not contradictory.
Citadel Maester is a unified name, but they are also divided into two generations, past and present.
The experiences of the two generations are different, and the cognition is also different.
In the past, Others are out, Long Night illusory, there is no reality to face, Maester can think as it should be by rights: Others are fake, Magic is just a tool for special bloodliners to do evil. For humanity as a whole, the power of transcendents does more harm than good. Build a world without Magic and Spiritual God, be like Heaven to the ordinary person.
But now, Maesters is constantly being taught by reality.
They will no longer adhere to the senior's "real world" concept rationally. Senior He has already driven the car into a dead end, can't get out, and can only go all the way to the dark.
The sin was made by senior Maester, and the younger Maester also hated the "real world" at this time.
A guilty plea is more than a shame, Citadel will be doomed.
So they can only hold on to it, and they have to work hard to decorate the peace.
Citadel Archmaester only hopes to have a time machine, preferably before the Dance of the Dragons, so that the seniors don't toss; secondly, before the ambush Dragon Queen, directly kneel and surrender, let Dragon Queen leave a way out, let the Citadel go.
Maester didn't have a time machine, so he denied Long Night in his mouth, and studied Others seriously in action, suffering from contradictions.
Seneschal Archmaester said: "I didn't intend to involve you, but you kept making a fuss.
In that case, you cooperate with us, Maester sings red, you sing White face, find out the details of the monster."
Sam thought about it, the Dragon Queen had also hoped to find out the secret of Others, but failed, if "the smartest in the world" Archmaester can do it, It is also a good thing, so nodded agreed.
However, he also made a request of oneself: "I came to Citadel for two purposes, one of which has already been achieved, and the rest is to persuade Citadel to spread Raven widely and warn all nobles Others."

"That's not good, I didn't ask clearly! It's probably a false alarm, Others can't get past the Wall at all." Theobald shook his head again and again.
