The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Zheng!

The flames screamed over Winterfell.

In Winterfell, the hundreds of ferocious hounds in the kennel are all crawling low, their eyes are gentle, like kittens. The fierce gaze and fighting spirit of the past were gone.

The war horses in the stables all found a place to hide, and the fodder in the trough did not dare to eat any more.

Sansa stood on the roof of the main castle and waved to the sky.

The flames have keen eyes, looking down from high above, everything is in sight.

In Winterfell, there is one person who loves Griffons the most, and that is Sansa Stark.

Griffin is a very emotional magical creature. Whoever treats it well will keep it in mind and will never forget it. But whoever treats it badly, show it to its face, speak insulting words, or just please it, it can see.

The wisdom of the Griffon is not inferior to that of the white raven who can speak human words.

The white raven that speaks human words is fed by the scholars in the Starry Sanctuary in the old town. Whenever a disaster strikes, the kingdoms need to be notified, and the scholars of the Star Temple will release white ravens.

Sansa Stark loves House and Wu, especially the two griffins.

Griffins like to eat horse meat, so she uses horse meat to please the griffins.

Griffins like gold and silver jewelry. Although they don't use gold and silver jewelry to buy things, Sansa puts her gold coins and silver deer in a gold-lined purse and hangs it on Griffin's neck. As long as the griffin moves its neck, the clink of the golden dragon and the silver deer will sound.

This is something no one has done before.

The clinking of the golden dragon and silver deer made the two griffins like them very much.

Griffins like treasures by nature, just like fish like surfing. And only Sansa Stark can enjoy the jingle of the coins.

In addition, Sansa tidied up the saddle for Griffin.

People can ride horses, and saddles provide great convenience.

People can ride griffins because of the griffon saddle.

Sansa deliberately studied the design of the griffon saddle in order to prevent the griffon saddle from clucking the griffon. She added cushions and fur under the griffon saddle and let the master fix it. Griffins are very clever magical creatures, and soon Sansa will become a good friend.

Sansa treated the two griffins carefully, and the two griffins were very clear. The friendship between them was quickly established, surpassing the interaction between people.

As soon as Sansa appeared on the top floor of the main fort, she waved to the griffin soaring in the sky, and the griffin immediately saw her.

Soon, the flames swooped down, and the huge wings flapped the wind, almost overwhelming Sansa. Sansa stretched out her hand to cover her eyes, and the flames gathered her wings, like a giant beast looking down at Sansa Stark.

Sansa is standing next to the Griffin. Although she has spent a lot of thoughts to establish a relationship with the Griffin, she has never really rode a Griffin.

Because she is afraid!

"Can I go up for a while?" Sansa asked Flame.

He pointed to the back of the griffin.

There is no griffon saddle on its back.

Without subtle riding skills and courage, except for Will, the owner of the Griffon, it is very dangerous for everyone else to go on the back of the Griffon.

Griffon’s claws stretched out, and its claws were terrible, and it only needed a single tap to penetrate Sansa's body.

Griffon's claws touched Sansa's arm, tilted her head, and made an invitation to ask her back.

The griffon is empathetic and only recognized by it.

Sansa then shouted to the master who was hiding at the entrance of the main castle stairs: "Master, come on, saddle me!"

As a result, the two masters flinched.

Griffon is very powerful and terrifying, especially for those who do not like it, its breath is very terrible. Fierce like a lion, wolf, tiger and leopard, they swiftly flee when they smell the griffin, and if there is no time to escape, they will crawl to the ground and pretend to be dead. This shows that the terrifying pressure of griffins is really extraordinary.

Every time the worker master came out to saddle the Griffin, he was trembling, and Will or Sansa must be present.

Griffon Flames bent its legs, squatted down, its neck crawled, and honestly asked two masters to saddle it.

There is a door open next to the kennel in Winterfell, and not far outside the moat is the famous northern wolf forest. From then on, the wolf forest stretched northward to the Grand Canyon on the west side of the Great Wall, beyond the primeval forest of thousands of miles. There are many tigers such as shadow lynx, wolves, bears, and leopards, and beasts such as sheep, wild horses, and wild boars are also in groups. When the former king Robert Baratheon came to Winter City to invite Ed Stark, he hunted in the wolf forest for more than a month and lingered.

Will and Arya sneak in the wolf forest, hunting down beasts.

Stealth, whether it is day or night, is a basic skill that must be mastered by an impasse Great Wall Ranger. But improving stealth skills to approach the target silently and invisibly and kill with one blow is something that many Rangers cannot do.

Most rangers have average stealth skills, but the enemies they deal with are also average. Freedmen are not professional professional soldiers. Most of the time they are farmers, hunters, and fishermen. They only take up weapons as a display when there is a war. There are fewer soldiers who practice martial arts every day, so the stealth skills of their rangers are also More than enough.

But it is very difficult and dangerous to approach the shadow lynx, wolf or lion in the forest silently and invisibly.

The top rangers will not deliberately approach the beast, but stay away.

But if you want to be the best stalker, assassinating beasts that are sensitive and can smell the human body is a compulsory course.

Will is such a top sneaker.

Sneaking is also a necessary skill for assassins. Different shadow killers have high and low skills in sneaking and approaching the target.

Will and Arya approached the Shadow Lynx in the wolf forest with their sneaking skills.

The shadow lynx is the overlord beast in the wolf forest. Only the lactating shadow lynx can live in groups. The rest of the time, the shadow lynx lives alone.

The shadow lynx has a strong will on the ground, and a shadow lynx is in a radius of fifty miles. There will definitely not be another shadow lynx, let alone other beasts.

This also brings a benefit to the stalker, that is, as long as the shadow of the shadow lynx is captured, there is no need to worry about being attacked by other beasts from behind.

Arya has learned how to get rid of body odors from her body while sneaking in the past few days. This is a very powerful technology. All beasts are particularly sensitive to human beings. Human scents are in the air, and their noses can tell that someone has entered their area.

The Shadow Lynx is even more powerful.

In addition to concealing your own smell, you also need to silence yourself.

No one can move quickly in the forest completely silently, and neither can Will. But top stalkers can make good use of the various sounds in the forest to provide the best cover for their sneaking.

In the virgin forest, all kinds of sounds are constant, whether it is during the day or very quiet at night.

Arya had never noticed before that in nature, sound is everywhere. And the sounds that can be used are everywhere.

Let your own smell disappear in the forest, let your own voice disappear in the forest, this is the basic skill that stalkers must learn. Practicing the basics to the extreme is the top stealth technique.

In addition, learn to move without shadows during the day.

In the primeval forest, various shadows are everywhere. Regardless of whether it is a forest under bright sunshine or a rainy forest, there are shadows that can be used.

Will and Arya approached the most dangerous place of a shadow lynx on a cloudy day.

They sneaked into the core area of ​​the Shadow Lynx and spent a day and two nights.

Now, the Shadow Lynx is right in front of them.

They were crawling in the bushes, surrounded by half-human grass.

The Shadow Lynx did not smell the smell of people, did not see the shadow of people, did not hear the voice of people, but it appeared uneasy. It turned around in its own nest, and from time to time it propped up and looked around.

It was alert of dangerous approach, but it could not see any abnormalities.

Will and Arya did not dare to speak or move. They were very close to the Shadow Lynx. Arya only needed a dive to assassinate the Shadow Lynx.

But she did not move.

Because Will won't let her move.

This sneak training failed.

Will and Arya are waiting for the Shadow Lynx to leave on their own, and then they will withdraw and conduct a second follow-up.

This is Arya's seventh failed training.

Above the sky and clouds, Griffon Azurite is monitoring the sneak training in the forest.

A griffon that can see the ants in the grass at an altitude of 30 meters, the talent of vision is like magic.

The Shadow Lynx finally couldn't bear the dangerous threat. It stood up, raised its head, and sniffed hard in the air. Finally, he suddenly jumped up and left quickly to the north.

Will and Arya remained motionless.

The Shadow Lynx will kill the carbine, and when it smells the danger coming but does not know where the enemy is, it will pretend to leave and then return quietly.

The beasts are all wise, and sometimes their wisdom is surprising.

Sure enough, after a while, the shadow lynx poked his head out from behind the other uncle, and looked at its nest.

Unfortunately, the Shadow Lynx failed to see the sneak attacker.

But anxiety is still difficult to eliminate.

Thus, the Shadow Lynx turned back and left the immediate lair.

Will touched Arya, the two slowly withdrew, and wiped their traces.

This process was silent and invisible, and it took Will and Alia a very long time.

Another huge test of sneaking: patience!

In any case, as long as you lose patience, you cannot cleanly erase the traces of your coming and retreat. This will leave a tracking signal for the top master and guide the enemy to find your hiding spot.

"Sorry, I failed again." Arya apologized to Will, but the little girl's tone was not happy. She thought she had done a good job, but in Will's eyes, the closest she was to the Shadow Lynx was still judged by Will as a failure.

"We will train again tonight. You have to hunt rabbits, skin them and roast them now."

"What about you!" Arya was obviously provocative.

Gui Ru Will, the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, the guardian of the entire territory, has no respect in Arya's eyes.

"I sleep!" Will said coldly.

Arya was visibly startled.

"You are responsible for making fires, I am responsible for hunting animals, you are responsible for skinning, and I am responsible for barbecues!" Arya said quickly, and looked up at Will with an expression of dissatisfaction.

"I sleep, I only say the last time." Will said lightly.

Then he climbed up a big tree and lay down. There is a hammock made of vines on the tree. Of course, the vine hammock is also made by Arya, because she lost the sword again.

Arya looked up at Will on the hammock and said, "Will, I sneaked for a day and two nights just like you, so let's make a fire and I will do the rest."

"You are not obedient, then the training is over." Will said lightly.

Before long, he snored.

Under the tree, Arya's shadow was also lost.

She honestly hunted animals, peeled them, washed them, stringed them with branches, made fires, and grilled them. When the hare smelled of meat, Will was already sitting next to her.

Arya squirmed up and down, swallowing a big mouthful of water, she took down the biggest roasted rabbit, held it in her hands and handed it to Will. Otherwise, Will will not eat. This is also the rule set at the beginning of training. At that time, in order to learn the best stealth technique, Arya agreed to Will's harsh conditions. Now Arya naturally regrets it very much. In fact, she could refuse some conditions.

For example, if the food is not delivered to Will, Will will not eat it.

Arya doesn't care if Will eats or not, but if Will does not eat, it means the training is over.

The training was not requested by Will, but by Arya herself.

She had no choice but to swallow her anger, with nothing to say.

*

Will took the roasted rabbit and said, "You are still very murderous."

"I don't believe it was my murderous intent that made the Shadow Lynx sensitive to danger. I think it was your murderous intent." Arya took off the other roasted rabbit and said.

Will did not stop tearing meat and eating meat. This is Arya's shortcoming. Any time Will criticizes her, she has her own reasons. Only in private, she will change it.

"Murderishness is an invisible thing, but it is something that allows the enemy to discover danger without seeing you. Now you must have no murderousness for any target in your heart, just like facing a flower or a tree. An ant."

"Shadow Lynx is not a flower." Arya's eyes flashed across Sansa's shadow, "Sansa is a flower."

Will did not look up: "Let's sneak close to the Shadow Lynx tonight. You have to treat the Shadow Lynx as an ant, and you won't show your murderous aura again."

"I just want to crush to death when I see the ants, one after another." Arya breathed out heat. The roasted hare meat is really hot. A golden oil stain ran down her little mouth.

"Then treat it as a bush and don't have any aggressive emotions toward your target."

"I want to cut it off with a sword when I see the bush."

Will ate a big piece of meat: "In short, remember, if you fail tonight, we will end the training. You can't control your emotions, and you are destined to be unable to become a top stalker."

"Then it will be over now!"

Will stopped eating and looked at Arya. He saw that Arya was emotionally unstable.

What happened to this little guy?

"You are emotionally unstable and can no longer train. We will go back after eating." Will was expressionless and very cold.

"Have you not seen Sansa for a few days? You seem to be anxious to go back every time you train." Arya pouted, "I won't return, I will continue training tonight."
