Under the witness of many Night Watchers, Danny and Erlu reached three basic agreements: 1. Immediately send out a warning to the Northern Warlords and remind them to prepare to cross the sea; 2. Inform the nobles in the south of the Neck Swamp to prepare to build a second and third defense line; 3. Confirm the location of the Strange Ghost King and then cooperate with the Dragon Queen and the Child of the Prophecy to try and kill him.
Almost everyone believed that the Strange Ghost King might not go to the Northern Warlords' castle, but when attacking Winterfell, he would definitely appear. Therefore, Erlu and Danny would meet in Winterfell.
Winterfell would become the main battlefield of the first Strange Ghost King war.
After the meeting ended, Danny went to Perestan's Crow's Nest.
"The Sanctuary is destroyed?" In the scholar's study, she saw the Red-Eyed Crow again.
It was the Black Crow that was eavesdropping on their conversation from the small window.
It was also one of Bran's Crow avatars.
"To cross the Great Wall, the Sanctuary must be destroyed first. The Winter Horn is also effective against the Sanctuary's defense circle.
The tombs that have existed for millions of years have turned into scorched earth in the flames. There is nothing left there. "The Raven's eyes flashed with human-like sorrow.
"Why didn't you discover the Winter Horn earlier?"
"I don't know. It seems to have the help of fate and has been hiding in my blind spot. Before the Sanctuary was destroyed, I had never even seen the Winter Horn, "the Raven said.
"Hehe, that's because you haven't merged with the Green Prophet's Seal, right? Now, you still have a large part of Bran Stark's humanity, "Danny sneered.
"This has nothing to do with me. The Winter Horn had already appeared during the time of Blinden River Wen."
"Great, a Three-Eyed Crow that knows how to shirk responsibility. You are the only one in a million years!" Danny continued to mock.
"Caw! Caw! Caw! Caw!" The raven excitedly flapped its wings and cawed loudly. "I'm not trying to shirk responsibility. I just want to tell you that if Blinden can't do it, I can't do it either. None of the Three-Eyed Crows can be omniscient and omnipotent. We are still at the mercy of fate."
The mockery on Danny's lips grew thicker. "Normally, you people are omnipotent and do everything. You simply think of yourselves as God who arranges the fate of all living beings.
At the critical moment, you suddenly become so useless, yet you still speak so confidently. "
"The Three-eyed Crow never acts recklessly," Raven said.
Danny nodded in agreement. "That's right. You can define whether your actions are reckless or not. Of course, you haven't done anything reckless."
"The Three-Eyed Crow didn't have any honor, and he didn't see the light of day. Yet, he shouldered a great responsibility, and he devoted his life selflessly. In fact, every decision he made and every thought he had wasn't his true thoughts.
If possible, I would rather be Bran Stark for the rest of my life. "Bran said sadly.
"Why did you look for me?" Danny furrowed her brows and changed the topic.
Bran was silent for a moment, and when he regained his composure, he said in a deep voice, "You should repair the Great Wall and keep the Spell Formation in it working."
"The Great Wall has already collapsed, so what's the point of repairing the Spell Formation?"
"You should block the cold wind from the north!"
"Block the wind?"
"You know that the shelter is the world's gate, right? Have you ever thought about what kind of world lies beyond the gate? "
Before Danny learned about the world's secrets, she would have said that the Far North was the Arctic Circle, and if one went further north, one might reach the other end of the world. For example, Asia and the barren lands.
"You want to say that our world is like a house that isn't cold or hot, and it's only because of the cold wind from the north that the world's temperature drops?
Then, the Great Wall is the house's gate, and it can block the cold wind and keep the house warm? "
The crow nodded and said, "The long night has arrived, and the cold wind from the outside world is like an ice-cold flood. The Great Wall is the dam that blocks the flood.
When the Great Wall was in good condition, it couldn't block all the ice and snow, let alone now that the Eastwatch section of the Great Wall has collapsed.
Even if you repair the rest of the Spell Formation, the ice will still fill our world.
But, this process will be greatly delayed. "
"Stannis might be able to kill the King of Strange Ghosts."
"Do you think it's possible?" The black crow asked.
"It's not completely impossible. If you are willing to help, the hope will be even greater." Danny looked at it with shining eyes.
The black crow was silent for a long time, and sighed, "After the long night, the River of Fate seems to be shrouded in a layer of fog, and I can't see Stannis's final outcome.
But, you are right, since Stannis is willing to risk his life, there is always a glimmer of hope.
I agree, as long as I find a chance, I will do my best to help him.
If he can really kill the King of Strange Ghosts, the long night will definitely not end immediately, but the world will at least be able to escape the state of sliding into the Ice Abyss. "
Uh, Erlu's willingness to risk his life is the key.
He volunteered to fight at the front, and if he succeeded, Danny and Bran would save a lot of effort; if Erlu failed and died, they would be able to find out some information about the King of Strange Ghosts through that battle.
The two reached a consensus, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Danny asked again, "Did you find any information about the Horn of Winter from the tree?"
"Jon accidentally picked it up at the Fist Peak of the Ancestors, and then he gave it to Sam …"
Bran was not omniscient, but he was the Green Prophet after all. The tree recorded everything, and as long as he searched with a purpose, he could always find the information he wanted.
"So the Strange Ghost at the bottom of the ship was after the horn, and not Manslade's son.
I was puzzled at the time, the son of the former King of Savages didn't even like Stannis, so why would the Strange Ghost target him … "
Danny was a little embarrassed, but more than that, she was annoyed.
She shouldn't have listened to the fatty back then. What was the use of sending the Strange Ghost to the City of Scholars?
Alright, it was indeed a little useful. When those scholars saw the real Strange Ghost, they started to remind the vassals of the Seven Kingdoms to be on guard against the long night.
But compared to the Great Wall, what was the use of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms being on guard?
"Three-eyed Crow, you failed in your duty! The Strange Ghost Raven flew back to the Great Wall with the horn, and you didn't even know about it! "
In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Queen found another scapegoat.
"This is fate's arrangement," Bran said in a deep voice.
Danny looked deeply at the crow, and the last bit of respect she had for the "omniscient Three-eyed Crow" dissipated from her subconscious mind.
"What do you think of Perestan's suggestion to abandon the Northern Territory?" she asked calmly.
"Abandoning the Northern Territory is the best choice. Without the Great Wall, the Northern Territory will be defenseless," Bran said without hesitation, as if it was Lannister who lived in the Northern Territory and not Stark.
"Since this is the case, you should inform Jon Stark and ask the King of the Northern Territory to summon his subjects to move southward!"
"I tried to persuade him, but he refused. Jon swore to live and die with Winterfell," Bran said in a complicated tone.
Danny pouted and asked, "The Sanctuary has been destroyed. Where are you now? Are Leaf and the others still alive? "
"The Children of the Forest are still alive. They are with me in 'Gorny's Tunnel'. From the Sanctuary to the Great Wall, there are thousands of kilometers of underground caves. "
"Do you plan to hide in the caves for the rest of your life?"
"The Westeros are not friendly to shapeshifters. Only after experiencing the destruction of the Strange Ghosts will they understand the meaning of the Three-Eyed Crow. At that time, I will naturally appear in front of them," Bran said honestly.
"What happened when the Green Prophet's Seal shattered?"
"The Green Prophet's Seal is very strong, but also very weak," Bran said perfunctorily.
Danny looked at him deeply and asked, "You still have the will of 'Bran Stark'. You did it on purpose, didn't you? How many Green Prophet's Seals have you fused and how many are left? "
"That has nothing to do with you." Bran's tone became cold.
He did it on purpose.
When the Green Prophet's Seal shattered, Danny only picked up one percent of the fragments. King of the Strange Ghosts only took ten percent. Bran, Jon, and Arya worked together to expel them from the "Alliance of Will of Stark".
If they caught Bran and turned him into a Ghoul, King of the Strange Ghosts could follow the thought channel of "Bran the Ghoul" and steal all the Green Prophet's Seals.
It was a pity that he didn't manage to kill Bran last time.
The reason why he was able to steal the fragments of the Green Prophet's Seal was thanks to Arya's mental connection.
To put it bluntly, King of the Strange Ghosts was only indirectly stealing the fragments through Arya. He didn't really enter the "Green Prophet's Forest Consciousness Domain" because the Green Prophet's Seal was stored there.
Even if there was only ninety percent of the Green Prophet's Seal left, it was enough to assimilate Bran into an emotionless AI, just like Blinden Rivertext back then.
But the reason why the Green Prophet's Seal shattered was because Bran resisted being assimilated.
Just like Bran said, the Green Prophet's Seal was very powerful and could increase a person's willpower by countless times.
But at the same time, it couldn't leave the Green Prophet and couldn't work on its own.
Otherwise, why would the Three-Eyed Crows exist in every generation?
They could just let the Green Prophet's Seal take care of everything.
Actually, the fact that the Green Prophet's Seal shattered into countless fragments was a good thing for Bran, who had his own consciousness.
He could fuse the tiny fragments piece by piece and ensure that his willpower wouldn't be destroyed by the Green Prophet's Seal.
In other words, Danny's guess was right. Bran still had a large number of Green Prophet's fragments piled up in his "warehouse" that he hadn't used.
"Since you don't want to take responsibility, why don't you give it to me? For the sake of the world, no matter how tired or bitter it is, I'll gladly endure it! "
Danny said righteously, exuding a fearless and heroic aura.
"You're too greedy. You've already obtained Mother Goddess's kingdom, and you still want the Green Prophet's inheritance treasure." Bran was very angry. He flapped his wings and squawked angrily.
"I'm just brave. I'm ten thousand times better than you!" Danny said righteously.
"One day, I'll fuse all the fragments together and reforge the Green Prophet's Seal," Bran said as if he was making an oath.
"Give me one percent as payment for repairing the Great Wall," Danny suggested.
"Isn't repairing the Great Wall your responsibility as the successor of Mother Goddess?" Bran said angrily.
"Fine. As the successor of Mother Goddess, I can't just take the benefits without taking responsibility. Similarly, as the successor of Weirwood's Divine Kingdom, I have the right to ask for believers of the Divine Kingdom. "
"You want me … you want us believers of the Old Gods?" Bran said in disbelief.
"No, I'm not interested in you human believers. I only want the Children of the Forest. Dead or alive, I want them all!"
Danny's lips curled into a smile as she revealed her true goal.
"They won't go with you," Bran said hesitantly.
"Call the crows over first. I'll ask them one by one and convince them one by one." Danny smiled.
"They're my companions!" Bran almost couldn't suppress his anger.
"They're not your slaves. They have the freedom to pursue a better future!"
"Helping the Three-Eyed Crows protect the Westeros is their pursuit."
Danny looked at him disdainfully and said, "It's because the Three-Eyed Crows neglected their duty and lost the Winter Horn. It's also because you weren't willing to sacrifice yourself that the Green Prophet's Seal was shattered. You didn't even notice that the Deviant Ghost King came to the Great Wall.
Now, you still have the face to call yourself a protector of the Westeros?
I think that giving me the Green Prophet's Seal and disbanding the Three-Eyed Crows is the greatest protection for the Seven Kingdoms, the world, and the human race! "
