Sword and Magic and Taxi

My father is not a traitor! Jon stood up unsteadily, forgetting to take the sword on the table. He is not a traitor.

Everyone hurriedly spoke to comfort him, but it was difficult for him to hear anyone's words at this time. What entered his ears was just a buzzing noise. The eager faces, the doubtful faces, the restless faces, the worried faces, all blurred and whirled around him like faces in the weirwood trees. The red crown is like blood, the black roots are like coal, and the white trunks are carved with big faces. He seemed to see red sap flowing out of his eyes. The trees were crying, and what they cried was blood. What is this sign? It must be bad, right?

A hand grabbed his wrist and squeezed it painfully. Zhao Mai's voice carried the power of psychic powers, so it penetrated directly into his mind, and this time he listened.

I think you should go find Master Aemon and see what the letter says. If you tell him properly, he will agree. He is a kind and wise old man.

Okay, you're right, I need to see that letter. Jon immediately sobered up a lot. He picked up his sword, called the direwolf Ghost, and staggered away.

I...I want to go see him, and Maester Aemon also needs help. Sam pinched his nose, and then went too.

The cafeteria suddenly became quiet, and everyone had a sullen face, as if there were more than twenty Melancholy Eddies suddenly added. If this happened a few days ago, maybe everyone would just treat it as a story. Now, Jon has proven his bravery and has become a brother to everyone. And what happens to brothers is absolutely different from what happens to passers-by.

I don't think Lord Ed would do something like that. Grant said angrily.

Shut up, Grant. You idiot always gets things wrong, so you should say he must be a traitor!

But that's what I think. Why do you say that?

Because then I can take the opportunity to beat you up. Hodder shook his fist, and then sighed again.

What will happen to Jon? He must be heartbroken, Piper said.

That's for sure. I've heard him say something about his father more than once. And as everyone knows, Lord Eddard Stark has been a friend of our Night's Watch, and Winterfell provides most of our supplies. of.

But maybe Duke Eddard will wear black clothes and come to Castle Black. Would that be a good thing? Grant said suddenly.

Everyone was stunned, then looked at Grant, and said one after another: Stupid cow, I didn't expect you to finally be smart for once!

No. Zhao Mai said suddenly. I think you should not comfort Snow with good guesses at this time, otherwise he will be even more unbearable if his hope is broken again. You should keep an eye on him, take care of him, and let him think about it for himself.

The melancholy Eddie nodded: What Mike said is right. We were just robbers and thieves in the past. We didn't know how to analyze the truth and the false, let alone comfort people. We made more mistakes. Piper, Grant... Grant couldn't do it. , too stupid. Piper, you and I plus Sam, we keep changing shifts, and someone has to keep an eye on Jon lately.

We will also help you keep an eye on it. The brothers nodded to each other.

What a nice group of people. Zhao Mai felt the close friendship between them and couldn't help but feel a little envious. He quietly got up and left the canteen, went outside to enjoy the wind, bask in the snow, and walk the dog.

It's not that he is feeling sorry for himself, but he needs to clear his mind and change his thinking. Since he let go of Tyrion, he no longer wants to get involved in the lives of these people. But this is not a comfortable choice, let alone easy. It is human nature to want those close to you to be happy and to want your enemies to suffer. Seeking good fortune and avoiding evil is the most primitive and important need of living things, and the distinction between closeness and distance is the most basic expression of human beings in social life, so it is really uncomfortable to ignore these.

He still has so many brothers and friends who care about him, so he should be fine. Zhao Mai thought to himself, As long as there are no more deviations, he should be fine, right?

Maybe we can't talk about this. There was another vibration and ringing in my pocket, and finally a call came.

After running into the car in a few steps, Zhao Mai answered the phone. Director Zhong's voice rang, and for the first time, Zhao Mai felt familiar and missed. Zhao Mai, are you fine there?

Very good. Can you change the greeting next time? I always think of my mother.

Okay, next time I'll ask you what you've eaten recently. Zhong Jianbai changed his tone and suddenly became serious, and said to Zhao Mai: We checked and found some problems.

Say, I'm listening.

The passage you applied for to the Alliance of Rings is indeed a low-intensity, high-stable Westeros. This has been confirmed. However, we analyzed the energy residue at the time of departure and believe that you may be going to a medium-intensity, medium-stable dimension. Stroh. The analysis team believes that this possibility is about 32%, but it is not known why this result is caused.

Only one third!

Don't underestimate this 32%. The Ring Alliance's channel is quite accurate. Although it is not error-free, it is still one in 10 billion, so a one-third probability is already appalling. By the way, Can you help me recall anything unusual during the departure?

Speaking of which, I remembered something. After entering the passage, the car jolted, as if it had hit something.

After entering the passage? What did it feel like, a bump or two?

Zhao Mai recalled it for a moment, and then felt very strange: It was only once, the feeling coming from the front wheel. If it was something, should it be twice?

No, that's not the strange thing. If you really arrived in a different world, then the change should have happened before the time and space tunnel was opened. But we will also pay attention to the situation you mentioned, maybe the Ring Alliance That can help us find the answer.”

I'm really sorry to bother you. Do you need to spend money? I still have some destiny gold coins here.

We just file a complaint and never spend any money. Zhong Jian smiled and said, This is the benefit of having saints on earth.

The old man is mighty! Zhao Mai continued the previous topic: If it is medium intensity and medium stability, will there be any problems? Do I need to go find Captain Liu Su and the others and send them back?

No. We have done the worst analysis and believe that such changes will have little impact on them. The Iron Treasury in Braavos is far away from the whirlpool of Westeros and will not be affected much. However, there are such a few people who have a huge impact. You have to be careful: Tyrion, Daenerys, Jon. Depending on your current timeline, also be careful with all the Stark children. Never be with two or more guys at the same time, otherwise It’s easy to cause volatility.”

Jon and I are at Castle Black! Zhao Mai said.

Wait a minute, I'll ask the analysis team to calculate it for me. By the way, why are you going to such a snowy place? And there are all men there. From your profile, you should be a straight man!

Go away! Don't always think so wrong. I'm trying to find a way out of seclusion and go to the ice field to find the Three-Eyed Crow. By the way, if possible, help me analyze where the Three-Eyed Crow lives. If it fluctuates according to the power I’ll probably be exhausted if I go looking for it.”

Hey! Can you please don't do such dangerous things? Sigh... Zhong Jianbai said: Based on our past experience, we can't persuade you. I can only say that if you encounter danger, don't Show off your talent and come back quickly. The world without saints is not real, don’t lose your life for a dream.

Well, thank you for the reminder, I will remember it. Zhao Mai smiled. There are people who care about him, just like Jon.

Okay, the analysis team gave me a report, and it said this. Remember it. 1. Jon must always be a Night's Watchman; 2. He must not return to Winterfell as a Night's Watchman. He has escaped The more dangerous it is to the south, the less likely it is to go north. Remember, you must never let him leave the Night Watch. If he leaves, then you must leave as quickly as possible.

It should be easy to handle. In the worst case, I can just break his legs.

The key is not the legs, but the heart. Zhong Jianbai said: The human heart is the most difficult thing to grasp, and the human heart is the foundation for the stability of the world. The Three-Eyed Crow thing may be more difficult. I will call you later. . By the way, we monitored your phone number and your sister called you. Do you need us to go check on the situation? I promise not to disturb her.

Thank you, thank you very much. Zhao Mai said sincerely.

The call didn't last long, but it greatly relieved Zhao Mai's mood. Although it is a bit disgusting to say that this is the warmth of the organization, it does make him feel cared for. Compared to this, the other news brought by Zhong Jianbai was not so scary. So what if there is a one-third chance of getting hit with medium intensity and medium stability? Zhao Mai believes that one day he will go to a world without intensity and stability restrictions, a world where he has no way of knowing the plot. It's like watching a show. If you watch it too much and you like it, one day you will have to perform freely.

The important thing now is to lay the foundation. Only by learning from other people's experiences and knowledge and gradually developing something of your own can you live a truly independent and free life.

He then took out the heart of the ghoul and watered it with natural force so that it could continue to emit power, so that he could better observe and study it. Perhaps because of his good mood, Zhao Mai had a sudden idea to combine the technique of summoning spiritual crystal servants in psychic skills with the cold power of the natural force.

Maybe we can summon ice and snow elves? Although he thought so, he failed without any surprise. But just as he finished sending out the book, he suddenly discovered that the failed spell was beating at the same frequency as the ghoul's heart. He changes the fluctuations of the spell, and the pulse of the heart changes.

This is indeed an unexpected discovery! He had always wondered what the power was that controlled the activities of the ghouls. He was certain that it was not a force of nature, because the heart had been removed, but the head still moved as usual, no different from before. The same phenomenon occurs with severed limbs.

Since it is not the ice power emitted by the heart that gives them purpose, then how are they controlled to fight? The White Walkers can resurrect thousands of corpses into White Walkers with just a raise of their hands, and then lead them to fight continuously. The communication method has always been a mystery.

Now there seems to be some clues.
