Chapter 768
To be honest, the old cripple was still very moved after hearing what Dragon Queen said.
—The legend is true, every time a Targaryen is born, Gods flips a coin and decides whether he is great or crazy.
Old cripple has experienced the Mad King era and knows how crazy Mad King is. Now that Mad King's daughter is so "Mother", I feel really emotional.
“Queen Your Majesty, I am very moved by your actions, but I don’t agree with you.”
Old cripple decided to let Dragon Queen understand that excessive Mother will only lead to more unfavorable things. situation.
"You must understand that the total amount of food is fixed. If I eat more bread, the children will have less bread in the future.
Perhaps, you have enough food now, enough food. We all have enough to eat, but after three years, five years later?
War of Four Kings, not only North, Riverlands, Westerlands, Crownlands, Stormlands, Reach, all have no harvest.
The last Long Night lasted a generation, even if it only lasted five years this time. In the foreseeable future, there will inevitably be a large-scale food shortage in the Seven Kingdoms.
Today, save us These useless Old Guys who can't hold knives are just illusory kindness. We will starve to death before the end of Long Night; in the future, let the entire human race live and survive Long Night, which is the real great kindness! ”
Old cripple earnest and well-meant advised, almost moved oneself.
——I didn't expect that I still have this kind of consciousness, and sure enough, I see the wise and think together! I didn't have such noble thoughts before, just because I didn't see the great and benevolent king, and now I do.
"Go back, go back, I have a way to solve the food shortage, don't worry about it. Even an Old Dog can watch the door at night. You are not too old, there is always a job that suits you, and you can't say it back. It's possible to see the next Summer!"
Dragon Queen didn't appreciate it, let alone appreciate his great consciousness, so she waved her hand impatiently and drove him back to the city.
"Ah, ah, ah, Your Majesty, don't call, don't call the children, that scene is very ugly!" The old cripple shouted again and again.
...
That night, the stables in the northwest corner of Hearth burst into flames.
The fire appeared suddenly and spread quickly.
Dany arranged for three dragons to take turns circling in the middle of the castle, in case the Others King led the army to kill her by force.
So after the fire broke out, Dany got the news right away.
But when she arrived, she saw only a crowd of old people in the stable, men and women, more than a hundred, all of them elderly.
They were forcibly driven back by the Dragon Queen in the afternoon, but they gathered together at night, poured oil all over their bodies, and set themselves on fire.
"Don't save me, I can't save it either."
Dany entered the burning stable with a livid face, and the old cripple's eyes melted as he swung the raging flames away. , but still aware of her arrival.
"Let's die with dignity!
What a shame for an old man to eat the bread the children make of the last wheat!
Death Now, at least I can make a final contribution to the living children.
Alas, I was young too. In the past several decades, every winter I would see old people who went out to hunt.
There is not enough food to eat, someone has to starve to death, if we want to die, let us Old Guys die!"
He was in a daze, and his words were out of order, but the expression was the same: Leave us alone, This is our best home!
Dany stood in the middle of a group of half-burned "corpses", the flames were raging, but she couldn't get close to her, but the smell of scorched barbecue and the painful moan sound before her death made her prepare. Feeling tormented.
After a while, she closed her eyes, and the Soul Suppressing Strike was launched, all the howling old people fainted, and then the fire was like a flood that broke the dam, filling the entire shed in an instant.
......
Second day morning, Big Bear landed at the final Hearth with forty Wyverns.
Big Bear, Garth, Quaro Ben rode Wyvern with her to the Wall, but while she was patching the Wall, the three of them and the pock-faced Richard Seven Wyrmriders left.
Because Castle Black can't afford ten Wyvern daily meals.
Wyvern is a Legendary creature after all, and even ravens can survive the North wind and snow, and there's no reason they'd freeze to death.
But there is a premise that they must be provided with plenty of fresh meat.
It's not cold when you're full.
But the colder the weather, the faster the hunger.
This...
Barristan is transporting Unsullied and Volunteers to Dragonstone, more than 30 Wyverns are transport planes.
Dany came to Hearth and decided to save the people, so he sent a message to Dragonstone and asked Wyvern Legion to come and save the group first.
Speaking of which, Barristan's volunteer army is almost finished, and the Wyvern Legion mission is not heavy.
...
"Your Majesty, it's a North tradition..."
The stable fire since last night At the beginning, Dragon Queen did not return to Hearth, and only sat cross-legged on the city gate tower "in a daze".
Big Bear and the others were worried that the Queen would be hit after hearing the cause of the incident, so they came to the city gate tower under the leadership of Eddard Umber.
They were a little surprised when they saw the Dragon Queen.
The tower has no walls, except for the circular dome, which leaks air from all sides, the wind and snow pours in directly, and snow falls on the ground, but the Dragon Queen is clean and tidy and dry within a step, as if Feng Xue has life and avoids her on purpose.
“Your Majesty?” Big Bear called cautiously.
"A tradition that deserves to be eaten by Others!" Dany ended the cultivation state, opened his eyes, turned his head and glanced at a few people who came over, "North has to implement the most comprehensive reform, existing productivity and production The patterns are all too primordial, almost the same as when the First Men crossed the Narrow Sea 10,000 years ago."
"Change to the rural commune of Slaver's Bay?"
Big Bear looked thoughtful nodded, "When Long Night is over, the nobles of North can be arranged to study at Slaver's Bay for a few years."
"I am afraid that after Long Night is over, there will be few nobles left in North." Garth Hightower facial Expression grave, "In the end, Hearth is not a special case. I suspect that the castles near the north such as Karhold and Deepwood Motte have been attacked by Others."
"Would you like to go to Karhold? Just next door to the Bay of Seals." Eddard Umber worriedly said.
"Get out of here first, I'll take a look." Dany stood up and said.
The Karhold of House Karstark is five-six hundred kilometers away from Hearth, and the dragon flies back and forth for about three or four hours.
She didn't go there in person, she just let Little White go around an arc in the south-east direction.
......
Actually, Karhold can no longer be called "Karhold of House Karstark".
The current owner of Karhold is House Thenn.
When watching the "Game of Thrones" television drama, Dany only thought that the male protagonist Jon was a little "know nothing" and a little silly, and didn't think he had any brilliant political intrigue.
She was wrong.
In other words, the "Game of Thrones" television drama turned Jon into Erhan.
The real 囧 not only has a keen political sense, but is also naturally proficient in tactics.
For example, he avenged his father by scheming to kill Slynt at Castle Black (Chapter 431).
For example, he wiped buttocks for Robb to completely solve the hidden dangers of Karstark.
Rickard Karstark, who was beheaded by Robb, had three sons and one daughter: eldest son Harrion was captured by Lannister, second son Eddard and third son Torrhen died for Robb, leaving only daughter Alys at home.
Rickard also has an uncle named Arnolf, who has two sons and three grandchildren.
Arnolf secretly joined Bolton, but deliberately brought his second son and three grandsons to work under Second Stag as an undercover agent.
Arnolf's eldest son Cregan, in order to be named Karhold Earl, intends to forcibly marry his niece Alys.
Alys didn't want to, and ran to the Wall to find Jon. Cregan thought it was Karstark's family affair, and chased after Wall all the way, and asked Jon to release him.
Jon arrested him, locked him in the ice cellar under Wall, and finally frozen to death (ps).
From Alys, Jon also knew the identity of Arnolf's undercover agent and informed Second Stag.
Second Stag What character can tolerate betrayal?
Five Karstarks received the lunch together.
In this way, House Karstark has no male heir, leaving only Alys as a direct descendant.
Then Jon did something that angered all northerners, he married Alys to Magnar of Thenn (ps).
Thenn are the only tribes in the Wildlings who know how to smelt bronze, establish laws and the concept of lordship.
As a result, the Thenn people are almost the strongest force in the Wildlings, with thousands of clan soldiers.
But this power is not owned by the Dragon Queen, on the contrary, Thenn's new leader is very hostile to her, because she killed the Thenn's lord Styr.
When Dany went to the Wall for the first time that day, he happened to encounter Castle Black being besieged by the Wildlings Suicide Squad who climbed over the Wall. And Thenn's Magnar Styr, is the leader of the Suicide Squad.
The guy charged at Dragon Queen with his axe, and was slashed in two by Little White's tail.
After Styr's brother Snow died under the Second Stag's iron hoof (ps), Styr's son Sigorn became the new lord of the Thenn people.
After all, it is the revenge of killing his father. No matter how strong and kind Dragon Queen is, Sigorn must have a grudge against her. Therefore, he and Thenn did not go to Queen's Point to be "within the wall of Dragon Queen" Wildlings".
Jon and Second Stag see the strength of the Thenn people.
Jon marries Alys Karstark to Sigorn, and Second Stag accepts Sigorn's allegiance as King.
In this way, Sigorn officially established "House Thenn", whose family emblem is a red flame surrounded by a white Sun, and House Karstark's family emblem is an all-white Sun. Except for the color, the two are almost identical .
In this way, the meaning is very obvious: let Thenn replace Karstark.
With the help of thousands of Thenn's Warriors in Sigorn, Alys recaptured Karhold with ease.
Nominally, Alys rules Karhold as heir to her captured brother Harrion; in fact, her husband Sigorn has become Karhold's true master - King in the North Jon and King of the Seven Kingdoms Second Stag is recognized.
Here, the blood feud between Karstark and Stark is completely disappeared.
In the Conqueror War, Orys Baratheon (illegitimate child brother of Aegon) married Argella, daughter of Argilac Durrandon, the last Storm King (lord of Storm's End), and the owner of Storm's End changed from Durrandon to Baratheon.
House Thenn's replacement for Karstark was almost yesterday.
House Karstark is gone, and how much hatred has been resolved.
Also because the lord of Karhold was replaced by the former Wildlings Sigorn Thenn, its ending is different from Hearth.
"The only thing that can stop the Others is the Wall, and now it's collapsed and the North is over.
Thousands of Wights are just outside Karhold, and neither Duke Stark nor King Stannis can save them Us, they can't even save oneself." Sigorn lamented.
Sigorn is a thin, short man, not handsome, with a premature receding hairline, a little old, but he has always been gentle with his wife.
Alys held the baby in his arms and cried, "But he's my child!"
"He's my son too, but we have no choice. The soldiers even Without many Dragonglass weapons, in just two hours, Karhold will have no one alive.
In any case, this poor child will not survive, hand it over, and we can protect thousands more subjects." Sigorn closed his eyes in pain.
"Are you sure the dead will leave?" Alys' arms loosened.
"I'm sure, beyond the wall, it's no secret." Sigorn choked as he took the child from his wife's hands.
Alys grabbed the swaddling clothes and finally struggled: "Isn't a commoner's child okay?"
"It is now designated for our child, our child has a noble blood."
"wu wu wu......." Alys covered his face with his hands, "why is this, why?"
Then, through Little White's eyes, Dany saw A peaceful and peaceful Karhold with smoke curling from the kitchen.
The biggest enemy of the anti-Japanese united front is not the neon soldiers, but the choice of "surrender".
Now, the "United Front Against Ghosts" has not been fully established, and the biggest enemy has appeared first.
