Chapter 55 He Saw
He saw the white ghost.

He fled straight south from the Haunted Forest, but was caught up in New Grant.

Damn, it's only one step away from the northern border!

He was not executed on the spot.The former brother said that he would use his head to remind everyone: deserters will not end well.

He lived a few more days because of this, but he also suffered and panicked for such a long time.

Gods, is waiting for death so painful?
He sometimes thought that he would die in the new bestowed land, or even die in honor in the Haunted Forest, but sometimes he suddenly had hope, thinking that there would be something to stop his death.

And now, Castle Black was close at hand.

it's time.

He was pulled off the horse, and the other end of the hemp rope that bound his hands was held by a brother, and a strong hand behind him held him forward.

He didn't struggle any more, but stared at everything around him obsessively.

The towers and stone walls were gray and black, and no night watchman would say it was beautiful, but it seemed to him now the best castle in the world.

The ice and snow are stinging, and the bonfire is so weak that it will go out at any time. Almost every year, a brother loses his fingers, toes, and ears from the cold, but he is willing to live here for 1000 or 1 years.

More and more brothers came out of the house, no one took the slightest effort to speak to him, only indifferent, mocking, vicious, excited eyes and expressions.

But he really wanted to have another chance to have a meal with these brothers and survive another cold night.

He still wants to go to Mole Village again, even once, this time he must plant the seeds in the deepest part, regardless of whether she will raise him or not.

plop~
Two right hands slammed him down, his knees hurt so badly, and it was so cold in the snow.

But he didn't mind it anymore, this at least proved that he was still alive, he could still feel the pain, the temperature, the warmth of the palm on his shoulder.

"Simon,"

He saw the commander-in-chief's lips opening and closing, "The gods gave you this right. Say your last words, face the judgment quietly, and go to the gods like a good man."

His eyes turned to Longclaw, the Valyrian steel sword in the Lord Commander's hand, which must have been good for beheading.

An unspeakable force made him struggle again, "Lord Commander, I saw the White Walker! The White Walker is real, not a story, it is real, not a story."

He wanted to stand up, but the two hands on his shoulders pressed him tightly.

"My lord, I'm just too scared. Give me another chance, and I'd like to go out of the Great Wall again! I can find the White Walkers for the Night Watchman!"

The night watchmen watching the execution looked at each other in blank dismay.

This is not the first time deserters have said this this year, and patrols have been wiped out more than once, and the savages are not capable of this.

Is there really something strange happening?

The commander-in-chief's gray beard trembled, "Your last words are finished."

He lost all strength in an instant.

The two right hands immediately pushed him to the thick tree stump beside him.A large swath of dark red blood occupied his field of vision, and the smell of mud and blood filled his nostrils.

"King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the 'First Men', ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and Defender of the Realm, of House Baratheon..."

He finally recalled the appearance of his hometown.

The golden wheat dances like waves, the strong fragrance of flowers that cannot be hidden, the father who pats his head at every turn, the warm and soft embrace of the mother who can make sweet snacks, and the girl with talking eyes.

"...Jeo, I sentence you to death."

The long sword was raised high, and he heard a slight sound as it cut through the air.

He closed his eyes.

The sound of horseshoes gradually became louder, as if it was in front, am I already dead?
He opened his eyes and tried to stretch his neck to look forward.

Black clothes, gray clothes, red and gold clothes, he saw a little maroon goblin.

"Children of the forest."

He heard the commander-in-chief's voice whispering.

He rekindled hope, "It's true! What I said is true! These are the children of the forest, and the White Walkers are just outside the Great Wall..."

Bass~
He saw his neck bleeding, and the Commander-in-Chief said, "Maybe, but you shouldn't have run away from the Wall."

His head rolled a few times, and the moment before he fell into permanent darkness, what he saw was the bare ankle of the child of the forest.

"Commander, we are back."

Bunyan glanced at the headless corpse and said hoarsely, "Only us."

Jeor Mormont looked back from Leaf, "What happened? Come on, let's talk in the hall."

Joffrey walked over leading the leaf.

"The secret way is true. Unexpectedly, there are quite a few savages chasing and killing these poor little people outside. Of course, the savages don't want to let us go. As a result, you saw it, Commander-in-Chief."

Joffrey gave Benyan a look, and Benyan remained silent.

"I see." The commander-in-chief sighed, "Now there will be a large section of the Great Wall left unattended."

"Your Highness, you and the court must pay attention to it. Mance Rayder, who claims to be the 'King Beyond the Wall', is recruiting an army of wildlings. Now it seems that the White Walkers are probably not groundless."

Joffrey said solemnly: "Of course. I will give my full support. The Night Watch will receive at least 500 reinforcements within half a year."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."

The commander-in-chief looked at Ye Zi again, "This one, is the child of the forest?"

Ye Zi bowed, "Commander-in-Chief, I can speak your language, you can call me Ye Zi."

Boom~
The watching night watchmen couldn't help but exclaimed, as if they saw animals learn to speak.

Although all the stories portray the Children of the Forest as powerful and intelligent beings, who would see them as equals when suddenly they looked so different?

The commander-in-chief quickly motioned for the crowd to disperse, and led the crown prince and others away.

The night watchmen watched reluctantly as the Son of the Forest walked into the room, and the solid wooden door was closed heavily.

After a moment of silence, they completely exploded, jumping and screaming, hugging and spinning together, venting the wild excitement in their hearts, as if they had just won an epic victory.

To be able to see the son of the forest only in the story with your own eyes is worth it in this life!

……

"Your Highness, what are your plans for the future?"

Commander-in-Chief Geor brought a cup of hot ale with honey to the Crown Prince, his tone seemed to be somewhat expectant.

Joffrey said with a smile, "Life on the Great Wall is unforgettable. Unfortunately, my father has already walked half the way. Before I came, I promised to catch up with the convoy before King's Landing. I had to start as soon as possible."

The Lizard Lion didn't find a gap, and had to send the king further south in the Hejian Land, and had to rush to a place within two days' journey to prepare to clean up the situation before that.

"Leave early tomorrow morning."

The Commander-in-Chief's expression softened, "I wish Your Highness a smooth and successful trip."

Joffrey raised his glass. "Thanks for the good words."

And the Red Keep, it's about time.

After activating the mirror image rune, Hannah who was far away in the Red Castle was still in his senses, and he saw her sitting in front of the mirror.

He sends Hannah the final signal:
Act after seven days.
