The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming - Chapter 1008
Sword fort.
“What is this?” Donald asked.
Sam Will unfolded the drawing: “A statue.”
“What statue? Why is there no face?”
Donald’s question was addressed to Jiu Jian.
“No face.” Jiu Jian said.
“what is the material.”
“Ice.”
Gendry came up with wide-eyed eyes: “Ice?”
“Yes, Bingbing.” Melisandre said.
“Ice ice comes to us to build a sword fort? We only have iron and fire here.”
“Ice is as hard as iron.” Jiu Jian said.
“So you want to use iron to make a humanoid statue?”
“Can it be done?”
“Yes,” Donald said.
“The humanoid statue is very simple, make a humanoid mold, burn the iron into molten iron, pour it in, cool it, and succeed.” Gendry said.
“Please follow this ratio carefully!” Jiu Jian pointed to the mark on the drawing.
“What’s the use of these signs?” Gendry looked at Jiu Jian suspiciously.
“Each marking point is where it was attacked by Valyrian Steel Sword.” Melisandre said.
Both Donald and Gendry were surprised.
“Valyrian steel sword to stab this iron statue-a total of eleven attack points. So how many are you going to do?” Donald asked.
“Make one.” Jiu Jian said.
“One? I’m afraid I can’t withstand a few sword attacks, it will become pitted.” Donald said, “If you want to practice swords, it is common to use wood as a target.”
“The haystack is okay, and you can also practice spear stabbing.” Gendry looks very experienced.
Jiu Jian and Melisandre exchanged glances, and Samwell also realized that a statue might not meet the real requirements and the statue was cut to pieces.
“Can you add a little Valyrian steel to the molten iron?” Samwell said, “to increase the hardness of the human statue.”
Donnel and Gendry looked up at the fat man together, Donnel said: “What do you want, after all, we can help you design better things based on our own experience.”
“Just this.” Jiu Jian said.
“Add a little Valyrian steel in. We want this figure to be able to resist the attack of the Valyrian steel sword.” Melisandre said, “This is what you owe me to the Sword Fortress.”
The sword castle forged the sword king, has been unable to create the purest iron embryo, and finally realized that the power of the flame was not enough, so he reported to Lord Will. Will asked Melisandre to come to the sword castle to use magic The flame burned the sword blank of the sword king, and finally cast a two hundred catties Valyrian steel sword sword king.
The Sword King is a ritual sword hung on the wall of the Sword Fortress Hall, because no one can wield a giant sword weighing two hundred catties, but Tyron Ashneng, this sword king, is also tailor-made for Tyron Ash After Tyronn used it, the war was over and this sword was going to be returned.
When casting the Sword King, Melisandre was about to owe her a favor to the Sword Fort, which must be returned in the future.
Now is the time to return the Sword Fort. Anyway, there is not much time left, if the Night King attacks and the Great Wall falls.
Donnel smiled: “Well, Priest Meri, we figured out a way to go in and forge the toughest iron man-but you can’t tell us what exactly is this for? “
“No comment,” Melisandre said.
“Uh, all right!” Donnel said grimly.
“Sir, these marked points that were attacked by the sword can’t be wrong in any position, and there must be no mistakes.” Jiu Jian said.
“Okay. But if the fat man made the wrong drawing, it has nothing to do with the sword fort.” Donald emphasized.
“My drawings can’t be wrong,” Samwell said.
“Then our finished iron man will not be bad.” Donald said proudly.
“Eleven points, the position of two eyes, the position of one mouth, the position of the heart, the joints of the two shoulders, the two ribs, the lower abdomen, the two knee joints. Are you going to assassinate someone? It looks like the other’s joints You will be filled with Valyrian Steel Swords as well as the vitals of your body.” Gendry said.
“Your nonsense is a bit too much, blacksmith,” Melisandre said. Her two bright red eyes stared at Gendry, and a chill rose in Gendry’s heart.
He has a hidden timidity towards Melisandre, and Melisandre’s magic makes him jealous.

Next to the headquarters of the Pyromancer Guild, there is the branch of the Faceless, and a little further away is the branch of the iron vault.
Behind these buildings, there is an ordinary gray castle that occupies an area several times the width of these buildings: the Holy Tribunal.
In the hall of the Holy Trinity Church, a huge torch is burning, and the walls are bare, without any decoration, nor any motto carvings, no idols, no altar made of fish beam wood, whether it is a new **** or an old god, in There is no shadow in it.
In the middle of the wall, there is only an unsheathed sword, an ordinary sword, embedded in the stone of the wall.
The hall was empty as if it were a desolate courtyard.
Below the sword wall, there is a black table. On the table is a drawing. The drawing is an altar with a human-shaped statue in the middle. The statue is transparent and blue, as if made of jade.
Will Jr., Big Gillie, Ding Dongshan, Guri Guxi, Shanna, Jon Targaryen, Robb Stark, James, Arya, Will, Adonis the Great Wise, two in charge Officials who built the Night Watch City: Kitts Knoll, Roger Morphy.
“There is enough space in the hall, but it is a bit small to build all the guard points of the strange ghosts outside the altar in exactly the same way.” Roger Morphy said.
“Then shrink the altar in the middle a little bit.” Will said, “The position, path, and obstacles of the ghost guard must be completely restored. We must ensure that everything is lost.”
Darjeely nodded: “Will, Bunyan Stark should also be invited to let him build this building with us. It will be easier for him to understand the way in.”
“Okay! I’ll bring him over tonight.”
“Then start, I’ll divide the work.” Kitts Knoll said.
In order to maintain absolute confidentiality, this building was decided to be built in the hall of the Holy Trinity Church. The people who built it should not use any outside workers, all of which are done by themselves.
Melisandre and Jiu Jian went to the fortress to be responsible for casting the statue of the cold god, and Will and Darjeel brought everyone to build the altar in the Holy Tribunal.
Everything must be restored exactly the same, including the location of the ghost guard, building a building is still a trivial matter, and the next training is the real big thing.
How to successfully enter the altar through the ghost guard under Bunyan’s protection is the key to the whole thing.
And Little Will brought a lot of things. The cold **** statue’s only weapon is cold, which makes people feel the hot cold. Jiu Jian went to the cold **** altar in a dream and was touched by the cold god’s virtual image. He was burned, and he still has lingering fears when he thinks of it.
Just a dream virtual image, the force of the cold will cause Jiu Jian to be injured. If it is a real person, I am afraid that the flesh and blood will freeze into a popsicle when it comes in contact with it.
But Little Will is a non-ice, and the lethality of this kind of cold on him will be minimized, and it may even be harmless.
The only problem is how to enter the altar. After all, there are ghost guards outside. In order not to be discovered by the strange ghost, Bunyan Stark had to **** Will.
But in fact, every experienced warrior knows in his heart that if he is discovered by the ghost guard and comes out to stop it, causing Will to be unable to enter the altar, James, Ding Dongshan and others must go up to fight. This is the second plan and the worst plan.
Jiu Jian said, whoever goes, must be prepared to sacrifice first, including himself. Will even thinks that Jiujian has actually seen who will die and who will give birth, but he does not say. Maybe the person who died includes himself.
But this road must go down.
As Will’s parents, Da Jili and Will are under great pressure. Will himself does not think about this matter. He has blocked Will’s safety from thinking about it. But Darjeel still insisted on going together.
After half a month, everything was in place. Under the guidance of Jiu Jian, Jon, Robb, Will, Arya, Hei Ya, Abel, Mans Reid, Rosso, Colin, Podri K, Da Jili and others stayed at the designated positions. Will Jr. and Bunyan Stark officially broke through the barrier and the training officially began.

Xiqiaowang—the westernmost castle of the Great Wall of Despair. Before Will became commander-in-chief, Xiqiaowang had been abandoned. When Mans Reid and Will reached a cooperation agreement, they recognized Will’s leadership and command. Later, the freedmen army and the common people entered the Great Wall, Xiqiaowang was also renovated, and then two hundred soldiers were stationed.
Of the two hundred soldiers, one hundred are freemen and one hundred are night watchmen.
Looking across the section of the Great Wall from the West Bridge, it was built on a cliff. Below the city wall is the famous Grand Canyon. On the left side of the city wall is a high cliff. The last end of the Great Wall is connected to the cliffs, and it is like the sky.
Here, because it is natural danger, there were no soldiers stationed before. The military fortress next to it is the famous shadow tower. Broken palm Colin and the young Mans Reid became the best night watchman brothers in the Shadow Tower.
Savage King Mans Reid spent his youth in the Shadow Tower, where he learned swords and grew up.
The garrison of Xiqiaowang wants to patrol outside the Great Wall of Despair and start investigating the enemy. In the past, there were two iron ropes crossing the gorge. The iron ropes were covered with wooden boards. The soldiers of the night watchman passed on the wooden boards. The westernmost part of the city is called West Bridge.
Later, the glory of the night watchman was gone, and the West Bridge was abandoned. It took too long and no one maintained it. The iron chain was corroded badly. Only one iron cable was left. The other broke, half hanging under the cliff on this side of the Great Wall. The red embroidery stained the ice and snow. The other piece of iron chain hangs on the opposite cliff. From here, it looks like an inconspicuous withered vine.
The Great Wall of Despair, looking from the West Bridge in the west to the Grand Canyon at the end, looking at the East China Sea from the east, and the sea at the end, is thousands of miles long and 700 feet high, all made of ice and snow. At night, the Great Wall of Impasse also comes with its own floodlight physique, and there is never a situation where you can’t see your fingers.
Xiqiaowang’s two hundred soldiers stationed here are very relaxed because of the natural dangers of the canyon. Recently, Lord Will returned to the Great Wall and the military discipline was rectified. The soldiers and the two centurions of Xiqiaowang did not dare to neglect, even at night. Began to be on duty and stand guard.
Lord Will has Griffins and has a tradition of spot-checking the defenses of soldiers everywhere. He has just returned and has not been to West Bridge to look at it. This is not a good thing. It only means Lord Will will always Come.

At midnight, the moon and stars are sparse, and even if there is no wind, the cold burrows into the cloak like a knife. On the top of the high city wall, a windbreaker was built to shelter from the wind and snow. In order to patrol the city wall and not be slipped, the top of the wide city wall that can run two carriages is covered with small stones and black carbon residue, walking on it with a creak.
Of course, the red brazier is most popular with the night watch soldiers. Several soldiers gathered together, roasting the fire, drinking wine, and talking about a certain woman. The brothel in Mole Village made them linger.
A soldier drank a big sip of wine, his companion told a joke, he laughed, choked, almost choked, he fell by the brazier, coughing desperately, uncomfortable. His face was facing outside, and amidst the laughter of his companions, he saw that something was climbing on the chain that ran through the Grand Canyon.
The companions all pointed at him and laughed, but he was so surprised that he could not move.
The rotten iron rope is already extremely dangerous, and no one dare to climb such iron rope. Winter was too cold, and the iron rope was icy and slippery. Even the most agile little beast dared not pass it, but on the iron rope, it seemed that a person was lying on his stomach, moving forward a little bit.
The soldier was horrified with his fingers on the iron chain.
The companions laughed and teased him constantly. A companion gently patted his back to help him recover.
“North Colin” said his companion, “what did you see? Still acting out your comedic talent.”
The guy choked by alcohol was an admirer of Colin’s severed palm. After obtaining the permission of Chief Colin, he used Colin as his surname.
North Colin’s throat hissed, and his fingers were speechless.
The three brothers finally found out what was wrong, stood up and looked outside. They saw that on the iron rope wrapped in ice, a man was climbing up with his hands and feet.
The three brothers were dumbfounded.
How could someone climb such a slippery chain without falling?
The lock of the iron cable is in front of an abandoned door under the city wall. The door has been nailed to death by many wooden bars, not for reinforcement, but for wind protection.
“Alien ghost!” a brother said subconsciously.
“He looks slow, but he is actually fast,” the other brother murmured.
“Warning, strange ghosts are coming.” The third brother’s voice was full of panic.
In the place considered the least likely to be attacked, the ghost came.
A faint strange sound came from under the city wall, as if the sound came from the bottom of the canyon, faintly, ethereal and erratic.
North Colin finally recovered from the shock. He jumped up from the ground like a spring and shouted: “Blow the horn, hit the alarm bell, and the ghost crawled over from the Grand Canyon.”
Although the heat of the Grand Canyon is a natural danger, it is not impossible to climb. There are savages going south, all from the Grand Canyon, there are trails in the Grand Canyon.
Oh oh oh oh oh!
Looking at the West Bridge, the night watchman’s horn sounded.
One sound represents the return of the brother; the second sound represents the enemy attack; the third sound represents the arrival of a strange ghost. On this peaceful and quiet night, three horns sounded on the top of the city wall at Xiqiaowang: The strange ghost is coming!
