A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 522 Return to Castle Black

After ten years of long summer, winter finally came to the land of Westeros.

"call--"

The cold wind howled, and the icy frost and snow blew the towering peaks, but even the cold wind like a knife was useless in front of the intractable ice and snow on the peak.

"Squeak..."

The creaking sound of feet stepping on the ice and snow sounded, and a black-haired man who was still wearing only single clothes in the cold wind squatted down, and the fresh snow covering the top of the ice layer passed behind him.

Above his head, a silver vortex slowly closed and disappeared, entering a state of deep sleep waiting to be activated.

The fresh snow was wiped away, revealing the hard ice layer below, and the dead body in the ice layer that had been refrigerated for an unknown amount of time.

"From the clothing, it should be a night watchman..."

Lin Yi frowned slightly, and looked at the ice under his feet thoughtfully: "It seems that after I left, there was another big battle north of the Great Wall!"

"Interesting..." The corners of Lin Yi's mouth curled up slightly, and he stood up on his knees, letting the falling snow cover the ice again, "In short, let's find someone to fix the plot first!"

After the voice fell, Lin Yi's tall figure suddenly disappeared, and a straight blank track appeared in the falling wind and snow in an instant, and then it was slowly filled by the surrounding wind and snow.

The Wall, Castle Black.

It was another windy and snowy day, the sky was extremely dark, the towering Great Wall was covered with icy cold, two men in thick clothes and cloaks curled up at the base of the wall, their hands in thick gloves kept Rubbing, squinting from time to time to glance at the scenery under the city wall.

No doubt, it was a chore.

But since last year's siege, no one will complain about such drudgery, because the price of complaining is a bloody life.

Thinking of the battle that happened last year, a hint of resentment flashed in the eyes of the brown-haired sentinel.

He really couldn't understand why the commander would take those wildlings into Castle Black, obviously this city wall was designed to guard against these wildlings, and obviously so many brothers died in that battle last year...

"Because winter has come!"

Mormont slapped the table resolutely, and a pair of sharp eyes scanned the three people in front of him mercilessly. It was obvious that his appearance was older than that of three years ago, but the power exuding from that old face became more and more intense. .

Looking at the silent young night watchman gnashing his teeth in front of him, Mormont sighed slightly, and said in a slightly soft tone: "I know that you have brothers who died at the hands of those wildlings, but now We face a greater threat than the wildlings..."

"But His Majesty Robb has promised to send aid!" Grant said a little excitedly.

"How much can he help?"

Mormont shook his head, his expression still calm and said: "In the past three years, which of the three kings on the mainland has not promised reinforcements? But in the end, only hooligans, thieves and condemned prisoners can arrive here. "

"Although His Majesty Robb has successively supported hundreds of our Lannister prisoners of war, the army and horses belonging to the headquarters in the north have not moved at all... Give up, before those walking corpses break through the Great Wall, those kings pretending to be sleeping in the south Will not be awakened, we need wildlings' hands!"

"..."

The young night watchmen in the room fell silent.

On the contrary, Jon Snow, who had been silent before, frowned: "That's because Lannister has been pressing every step of the way, His Majesty Robb can't make a move at all!"

"One slap cannot be slapped loudly."

Mormont glanced at him indifferently: "Your Majesty, your brother, can't let go of the hatred in his heart. If he is willing to retreat to the north of Riverrun, Lannister would have sent someone to sign the armistice agreement!"

"..."

Jon Snow frowned tightly.

He knew that the judgment of Commander Mormont was the most favorable choice for the current situation, but he couldn't say how to make Robb give up revenge.

"Sorry kid, I didn't mean to."

Mormont sighed, and said with a vicissitudes of life: "The essence of a king is power. No matter what the image of His Majesty Robb was in your eyes before he took the throne, he has become a beast of power called a king after he took the throne. We are walking on thin ice, and the bottom of our feet is an abyss, how can we pin everything on them."

"..."

Jon Snow lowered his head in silence, but he didn't agree with Commander Mormont's point of view in his heart. The two of them looked at each other, sighed, saluted, and turned to leave the commander's room.

After walking out of the room, the two of them still couldn't help but sneered and complained.

"Because the king in the south can't let go of our grudges, should we let us let go of our grudges?"

"No way, who made us night watchmen..."

The two sighed in unison, looking at the wind falling in the sky, showing a trace of bewilderment.

At this moment, a thickly dressed night watchman ran upstairs in a hurry. Grenn glanced at him casually when he passed by, and was shocked to find that the person who just ran past was Pip, who was in charge of guarding the city wall today.

This guy actually went AWOL?

Did something happen?
The two of Glenn looked at each other, turned around and chased him into the room without hesitation.

As soon as they entered the door, the two heard gasping and excited words.

"Yes...it's the other side of the Great Wall! Then...that lord is back!"

"Which lord?"

Mormont asked subconsciously, and immediately opened his eyes wide in astonishment, and suddenly put his hand on Pip's shoulders, and asked excitedly and unbelievably:
"Is...is that Master Yi?"

"it's him!"

Pyp flushed with joy.

The expression on Mormont's face was also constantly changing, from unbelievable to overjoyed, and then to lowered eyebrows in thought. It took half a minute to calm down completely, and turned to look at Jon Snow.

"Snow, go and fetch that lord over!"

"Yes!"

Jon Snow, who was already on the verge of moving, nodded without hesitation, exchanged glances with Glenn at the door, and ran towards the door in unison.

One minute later, at the tunnel gate at the bottom of the Great Wall, the three of Jon Snow finally saw the figure that they had glimpsed three years ago and could never forget.

"Ju... It's really him!"

Jon Snow murmured in disbelief.

Compared with three years ago, this adult's stature has been raised a lot, but his face is still young, and he is still wearing a thin white attire, standing calmly in the cold wind and snow.

There was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

If other people saw such a scene, they would definitely be horrified, but all the night watchmen who had witnessed the great battle three years ago took it for granted.

After all, this is the powerful existence who set off a monstrous avalanche with his own strength!
"Boom--"

Amidst the loud noise, the Night Watchman who had received the order finally pulled the zip line, and the heavy gate slowly rose, and the swordsman who had saved most of the Night Watchman Legion walked into Castle Black.

"master Yi!"

"master Yi!"

Wherever they went, all the night watchmen who survived three years ago saluted respectfully. Only those who joined the night watchman later were a little baffling. When they asked the old people they knew well, they suddenly realized that this person from the Great Wall The lord who returned from the north is actually the legendary number one swordsman in Westeros!

'Back again! '

Lin Yi glanced at Castle Black in front of him with emotion.

Compared with three years ago, there are obviously a lot more strange faces here, and the number of people is much larger than before, and there are even some dressed like savages...

Wait, isn't this a savage?
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, at this moment, a young voice came from the side.

"Master Yi, I am Jon Snow, the attendant officer of Commander Mormont, and I am taking you to the command room of the Commander in the name of Commander"

...Jon Snow?
Lin Yi was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and turned to look at the young man who was suppressing his excitement beside him, sizing him up with surprise and interest.

"You are Jon Snow?"

"..."

Jon Snow was slightly taken aback, and quickly responded, "It's me!"

There was a smile on the corner of Lin Yi's mouth, and he looked at him carefully again, then his eyes swept over the two young night watchmen behind him, and he waved his hands with a light smile.

"Lead the way ahead, Officer Snow!"

"Yes!"

Jon Snow's expression froze, and he hurriedly led the way. The two behind him wanted to keep up, but when Lin Yi's eyes swept them away, their bodies froze suddenly, as if they were being killed by a beast that was bigger than a direwolf. The ferocious beasts are staring at the same, with both legs fighting, unable to move their feet at all.

It wasn't until Lin Yi left slowly that Ge Lan and the two gradually came to their senses, and their almost frozen bodies gradually returned to their control. The two looked at each other and swallowed in unison.

"Okay... what a scary look in your eyes, shall we still follow?"

"Fuck me, I don't dare, you go by yourself!"

"I'm not going!"

Gu Lan muttered, looking at Lin Yi's back with a little awe.

At the same time, Jon Snow, who was leading the way for Lin Yi, didn't know what happened next, nor did he feel the strong sense of oppression coming from Lin Yi.

As he was leading the road, he sneaked a glance at Lin Yi's smiling face from time to time, with a look of hesitating to speak but then hesitant to speak.

Lin Yi glanced at him, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Why, do you have anything to say to me, Officer Xue Nuo?"

Jon Snow was taken aback, and when he came back to his senses, he said hesitantly: "It's nothing, it's just... I just feel that my lord knows me... Sorry, my lord, maybe I'm being too sentimental!"

"No, I do know you!"

Lin Yi denied his judgment without hesitation, and then smiled slightly in Jon Snow's slightly astonished eyes, and explained: "Before I went north to the Great Wall, I accepted a very talented young apprentice in the south , her name is Arya Stark..."
