The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming - Chapter 1025
Winterfell, the city is full of refugees.
The town of Bidong is also overcrowded.
Tens of thousands of free people have come here, and tents of various sizes are scattered all over the tundra outside the winter town.
In winter, people in the north cannot survive on the tundra, but free people can.
In the eyes of the people of the North, there are no free people, they call them savages.
There are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the town of Bidong, all of them from the south.
Before the battle, the officers and soldiers felt the winter like a sword.
Many soldiers suffered from frostbite and had to be transported back to the south, on the ground outside Kalim Bay, the upper reaches of the Green Fork River, the territory of the Frey family.
Kalin Bay is the last level that Will designed to fight the ghosts.
If the Night King breaks through Kalin Bay, then the dead people buried in the soil will crawl out of the tomb and become a nightmare for the living.
Fortunately, in the past 100 years, people have chosen less and less water burials and burials, and cremation has become the mainstream.

Will and his party entered the main fort of Winterfell.
Caitlin, Sansa, Jane Westerling, Earl Gavin, Duke Mace Tyrell, Randall Tully… etc. are all there.
Everyone met Will in the same manner as the Prime Minister.
After the hypocritical and polite manners, Will is no longer vague, they have no time.
“Mrs. Caitlin, I beg you to write the Gilly Stark family into the branch family tree of the Stark family under the witness of Shenmulin.”
This kind of private matter is not suitable for public occasions where courtiers and military commanders are present.
“…Okay…” Caitlin replied reluctantly, looking awkward and… patient.
This kind of thing, Will should have told him in private.
However, Will did not. And, Will is her son-in-law, son-in-law. After he and Arya were officially married, he was a member of the Stark family. He was a junior, and when he met Mrs. Caitlin, he did not call Caitlin his mother.
Caitlin understood the prestige that Will needs in public. She tolerated it, but she would not record the Gilly Stark family in the Stark family tree.
She will sigh this topic with Will next, as the highest elder in the family.
Coming back with Will, there was Bunyan Stark, all covered in a black cloak, and he couldn’t even see his face.
Arya is missing from the team.
“Where’s Arya, Lord Will,” Sansa said.
“She stayed in the Great Wall of Despair to fight against ghosts.”
“We have received news that the Great Wall of Extremis has been lost. The army of alien ghosts has entered the black castle and occupied the Great Wall. The defenders of the Great Wall were defeated and the army retreated to the Hearth City of the Amber family.”
“I also just got the news.”
“What about Arya? There is no mention of Arya on the raven…”
“I don’t know either.” Will said, “Since we have chosen to fight at the Great Wall, we might sacrifice.”
“No!” Caitlin stretched out her hand to cover her mouth without making a sound. She shook her head with a look of despair in her eyes.
Sansa and Jane comforted her quickly.
The three women got up and thought about going to the back room.
Will looked around the hall: “I am now ordering in the name of the prime ministers of the seven countries that the people of Winterfell, starting today, will retreat to the river land outside Kalim Bay, and the Frey family will meet up on the upper reaches of the Green Fork River. Lu Bachelor Wen, Earl Gavin, you two will be responsible for this matter.”
“Yes, Your Prime Minister.”
“All the people in the town of Bidong, whether they are free people or the people of the north, evacuated to the river. Lord Duke of Metz, you are responsible for coordinating the order of the free people and the people of the north. The people of the town of Bidong , Leaving two days later.”
“Yes, Your Prime Minister.”
“Winter City and the town of Bidong will only be allowed to live in the army after ten days. General Landau Tali is responsible for this matter.”
“Yes, Prime Minister.” Landau Tully replied with a broken heart sword on his back.
Broken heart, Valyrian Steel Sword!
“Master Landau, I want you to make a plan to defend the city. The alien army will soon attack Winterfell. You are responsible for commanding the battle for the city. At the same time, you must be prepared to retreat to Kalin Bay. Can attack, retreat and defend, retreat and walk.”
“Yes, Prime Minister.”
“Everyone, get ready now.” Will concluded the meeting.
There was no meeting to discuss, no show of hands to vote, in a few words, Will arranged everything. The generals and courtiers went out one after another, the big plan was finalized, and the small plan and specific arrangements required a lot of administrative officials and generals to jointly implement.
After a while, everyone was gone.
Will and Bunyan Stark enter the back room and look for Caitlin Tully.
There is no time to waste, everything must be done immediately.
In the embroidery room, Will and Bunyan met Mrs. Caitlin Tully.
“Mother, Arya is okay.” Will said as a junior.
“Did you get the news?” Caitlin’s eyes were blank.
Maybe Will’s words came very abruptly.
Why didn’t Will say that in the hall just now?
“I got the news, the news was told by the heart tree in the sacred tree forest.”
It’s time for Sansa and Jane to learn some truths.
“What?” Mrs. Caitlin disappeared blankly, and Sansa and Jane were equally surprised.
“In the sacred tree forest, there is a green prophet who has been guarding the Stark family. I and Arya are married. Under the sacred tree forest, the prophet is a witness.
“…”
“A human-like life is combined with the heart tree in the sacred tree forest. We will find out when we go to the sacred tree forest.”
“If there is a prophet guarding? Why would my father Ed Stark die?” Sansa said.
“The prophet is not a god, nor is it the hand of destiny.” Will said, “we have to go to the sacred tree forest now, and under the witness of the three heart trees, please mother, please write the Gilly Stark family into the Stark family They hope that their bloodline can return to the main lineage.”
“They are savages.” Caitlin said.
“Madam, they are Stark.” Bunyan Stark said.
“Banyan, you are the night watchman.”
“I am also of Stark blood.” Bunyan said coldly, “Mrs. Caitlin Tully, if you stop, then you are not Stark.”
Caitlin choked.
Jane said, “Uncle Banyan…”
“Jenny, we have run out of time. Maybe Darjeely has died in battle, but her wish to return to her family should not be obliterated. She is indeed Stark, just like the Kastark family in Cahor City. It branched out of the Stark family.”
Sansa looked at her mother: “Mother, uncle is right.”
“I need the testimony of the seven gods, give me a clear indication.” Caitlin said.
“Northern people believe in old gods. Madam, if you refuse to add, then I will come.” Bunyan Stark said.
“Uncle, you are the night watchman, and Robb Stark is the Duke of Winterfell.” Sansa said.
“Robo Stark will also agree to the decision of Lord Will and me, there is no doubt.” Bunyan said, “I am the highest-ranking Stark of the Winter Solstice.”
“Banyan, don’t hide yourself in your hood, show your face and look into my eyes. Don’t you dare to look at me?” Caitlin said sharply.
“Mother, Uncle Bunyan is no longer a human race, he is dead, he is an undead knight.” Will said.
Caitlin, Sansa, and Jane were all surprised, and the three of them opened their mouths and couldn’t close them.
Ban Yang slowly removed his hood, revealing a pale and bloodless face, a pair of dead white eyes, completely bruised lips, and terrible scars on his face.
He took off the mole gloves and stretched out a pair of pale hands that seemed to have been soaked in water for a long time. The hands were like ice, exuding a bone-piercing air.
“I am the undead, and I am still doing my best for the survival of the human race. The same is true for Darjeeling. She is our Stark and has brought the highest glory to our Stark family. Her child is an ice-free one. The blood of Arya and Lyanna’s running wolf. It is the most authentic bloodline of the Stark family’s ancestors, surpassing your, mine, Sansa, and all the bloodlines of our Stark family…”
“I don’t believe it,” Caitlin murmured.
“You think you are a nobleman, and Darjeel is a savage, so even the bloodline of the non-ice who returned to the ancestors dare to deny it, Caitlin, you disappoint me too much. If Ed Stark is alive, you think What do you think he will do?”
“…”
“Sansa, go to the Bachelor’s Tower, take out the family tree, and follow me to the Shenmu Forest.” Banyang shouted.
Sansa looked at her mother.
Jane said, “Go!”
Sansa stood up and Caitlin said, “I’ll go.”
“I will go with my mother.” Jane said.
“Me too!” Sansa held her mother’s hand.
*
In the sacred tree forest, Sansa, Jane, and Caitlin slowly opened their eyes while looking at the heart tree in the middle, and the shriveled mouth opened and began to speak: “In the name of the old god, Mrs. Caitlin, Da Jie has a return The qualifications of this clan. You Stark in the North, citizens, people and nobles in the North will probably all receive his favor in the future. This child is the key to killing the Night King. His mother should get the North. The respect of all people, not just Winterfell Stark.”
The old voice, the simple atmosphere, the solemn tone, the overwhelming majesty.
Caitlin took the lead and knelt down. She had been married to Winterfell for more than two decades, and for the first time she became a faith in the old god.
In order to keep her faith in the Seven Gods, Ed Stark specially built the Seven Holy Halls for her in Winterfell.
To this day, Heart Tree spoke, opened his eyes, opened his mouth, and made a human voice, which made Caitlin see what a real miracle was.
Sansa and Jane knelt down.
Under the witness of the three heart trees, Caitlin, as the mother of the Stark family, wrote the names of everyone in the Darjeel family on the family tree of the Stark family. On the list of relatives in the branch genealogy, the names of Will and Will J are also impressive.
After completing the genealogy, Xin Shu’s eyes closed again, and his mouth closed. Under the eyes of everyone, he returned to the original Xin Shu appearance.
Da Jili’s wish to return to the family is fulfilled. Will’s heart also became relaxed because he had accomplished one thing.
Will let go of the little golden dragon on his shoulders, and everyone watched the little golden dragon fly high in the sky until no shadow was visible.
The little golden dragon flew across the narrow sea, but looked for Daenerys to join her dragon.
*
In the evening, Will, Melisandre, Bunyan Stark, and Will Jr. quietly came to the crypt of the Stark family.
Opening the tomb, the face is bitterly cold.
Little Will has no feeling, the darkness is as real as it is, hindering everyone from entering.
Will Jr. is not afraid of cold, Bunyan Stark is not afraid of darkness, but Will and Melisandre cannot.
Melisandre chanted the mantra in a low voice, bang! Bang! Bang!
Inside the tomb, two rows of torches burned automatically, dispelling the darkness, and illuminating the long tunnel in the tomb like daylight.
In the flames, Bunyan’s brother, the former night watchman ranger, and the undead knight nicknamed Mouse stood in the tomb.
After Bunyan left, he was responsible for guarding the tomb here.
Little Will looked at the mouse and the thousands-year-old tomb of the Stark family. The majestic and far-reaching of the tomb surpassed his knowledge of the tomb.
On the right hand side, there are stone statues as tall as real people. Everyone is lifelike. At each person’s feet, there is a stone-carved ice wolf. The man’s hand or waist is equipped with a sword.
Behind each statue, there is a stone tomb. There is a stone tablet with the person’s name, birth month, death year, and life story on it.
People who don’t know the Stark family, enter this tomb and look all the way, you can know what storm and glory this family has gone through in thousands of years. You can also know what kind of heroes or cowards appeared in which year and which generation.
Jr. Will remembered his name and his father’s name, and both were written into the family tree of the Stark family. He knows that the tomb here is also the tomb of his ancestors. He is the second non-ice person in the family for thousands of years. And the first person who does not ice is the current Night King, and his name is on the genealogy: Claire Stark.
Claire Stark: Born in the ninety-ninth year of the Era of Heroes, the year of death is unknown. In the 137th year of the Heroic Era, he became the commander of the thirteenth generation of the Great Wall night watchman, the bloodline of those who did not ice.
Holding the hands of Will and his father, the group walked into the depths of the tomb.
Mouse and Bunyan opened their way.
Half an hour later, the group came to the underground dragon bone tomb. In the huge round tomb, there is the light messenger inserted. A very ordinary sword, without the sharpness and luster of a sword, is like a rusty sword.
Under Will’s guidance, Will, through the spiral staircase, came to the hot underground spring.
“Little Will, go over and pull out that sword.” Will said.
Melisandre, Bunyan, and Mouse all looked at the children closely. Now they are witnesses to history.
Lightbringer, the sword that killed the night king.
Will and Arya once went to the edge of the hot spring water, and they could no longer move forward. The temperature of the hot spring water and the temperature in the air made them suffocated and unable to move forward.
Little Will’s demeanor remained the same. The non-ice restrained the flames. In Mole Village, Melisandre also used magic flames to burn and exercise Little Will’s body.
Will walked into the bubbling hot spring water that no one dared to enter. The heat of the hot spring water diminished, and the gurgling bubbles gradually disappeared. When Will walked past the hot spring water, the boiling hot spring water calmed down. Slowly evil, a layer of hoarfrost-like chill on the water.
The temperature of the entire keel tomb has dropped and turned into a warm and adaptable temperature. Will and Melisandre felt the most.
And Little Will had already walked to the middle of the Dragon Bone Tomb, stretched out his hand, and pulled out the Light Messenger.
