Chapter 245 The Responsibility of Choice

In the next few days, Zhao Mai either consulted information in Maester Aemon's library, or practiced spells and psychic powers outside Castle Black. He had a very busy schedule and rarely appeared among the Night Watch, so his days passed easily. Like a retreat. The advantage of doing this is that he gradually got a clue about how the White Walkers control the zombies.

The natural force with hatred is the root cause of everything. Zhao Mai has felt something similar from the desert of Atas. The planet's hatred for the magicians who destroyed its ecology has similar things in Westeros. Recalling the battle between the ancestors and the children of the forest, and thinking of the fear when the spirits using stone weapons were massacred by humans using metal weapons, it is not difficult to understand where this hatred comes from.

So now it is certain that the children of the forest formed their hatred for humans into ideas, combined them with the natural force, and condensed them into the original heart of ice, creating the first generation of White Walkers. The Children of the Forest used the White Walkers as weapons, empowering The ability of the White Walkers to manipulate corpses and form armies to fight humans is the truth of history. Zhao Mai read the ancient poems collected by Maester Aemon and discovered many original contradictions, and then used this theory to explain them Come down smoothly.

The natural force has the inherent ability to allow living things to reproduce. The Children of the Forest did not expect that their experimental weapons would eventually have the ability to expand independently, and they became a new creature. If the hatred is not resolved, it will only become stronger and more extreme. The White Walkers finally decided to eliminate all life, including the children of the forest, so as to leave a world of their own.

So the children of the forest and the ancestors had to cooperate, turn enemies into friends, and fight against the ghosts together until they were driven back to the coldest place and built the Great Wall of Despair. Zhao Mai thought of this and complained: I had to Saying that the White Walkers did, to some extent, end the war between the Children of the Forest and Men.”

To some extent, his psychic powers imitated the condensed will of hatred of the White Walkers. On the planet Atas, Zhao Mai was cursed by blasphemy magic, and then was affected by the natural will full of hatred many times, and his body more or less bore the characteristics of that will. Although I haven't seen the White Walkers yet, there may be some similarities. Zhao Mai slapped his head: Ah! Could it be because of this? The Wall of Despair recognized me as a strange ghost?

When I thought about it, it wasn't possible. Wouldn't my car be able to pass? It may seem like one puzzle has been solved, but in reality there may be more. Zhao Mai shook his head and temporarily took back his thoughts. He didn't want to create white ghosts, he just wanted to figure out how to use the natural force. Moreover, if you can imitate the psychic signals sent by the White Walkers, you can confuse the zombies' control and make yourself safer.

The foundation of the natural force lies in balance. White ghosts and corpses with stronger ice power will be more afraid of fire, especially the flame of the natural force. This is just like extreme things are easier to exert force in the early stage and quickly increase their power; moderate and moderate methods can only slowly catch up in the later stages. The Children of the Forest used extreme ice to create the White Walkers, and they should have used extreme fire to destroy them. However, the desperate Great Wall built not only protected the humans south of the Great Wall, but also blocked their enterprising spirit and gave the White Walkers a chance to recuperate in a cold place.

It's like cancerous tissue is not eradicated, so things often go wrong. The White Walkers are immortal, but humans are short-lived. After a long period of incubation, humans have forgotten how to deal with the White Walkers, and the documents that are full of lessons, experiences and sacrifices are piled among the old account books of the Night Watch.

Zhao Mai sorted out the information he found into categories and prepared to package it and give it to Master Aemon. The Night Watchman would need it one day. He began to study various potions, both for treatment and as weapons. Druids can concoct their own spells into potions, also known as magic potions. Although the preparation method of this potion is different from the skills of bachelors, who says that we can't draw parallels?

The days passed like this, and Jon would come to Master Aemon at least three times every day to see if there were any ravens from the south. He missed his father with anxiety, and the worry on his face became deeper day by day. Master Aemon told him about responsibility and choice, and taught him a lesson from his own experience. This blind old man who guards Castle Black has a surname of Targaryen. The Mad King Aerys Targaryen, who was overthrown by the recently deceased King Robert Baratheon, was still his nephew.

Aemon was superior to Aerys Targaryen's father in the line of succession to the throne. When Aemon was young, his father arranged for Aemon to become a maester in order to prevent too many Targaryen descendants from fighting for the throne. The bachelor is similar to the Night's Watch in that he has to give up his family power, but fortunately, he will not be executed as a traitor if he gives up the bachelor's degree and returns to secular life.

The Targaryen line of succession came to Aemon after a series of upheavals. He was quietly recalled to court to be crowned king. After some thought, Aemon refused and gave the throne to his brother, while he remained a maester. I don't have the responsibility of a king, my responsibility is that of a maester. After that, he chose to serve in the Black Castle of the Night's Watch. With the dual self-exile attitude of maester and Night's Watch, he showed that he was completely far away from the core of power.

He thought this would be the last test of his sense of responsibility, but he didn't expect that the worst one would hit him when he was old. Robert Baratheon led an army to King's Landing and overthrew his brother's son. From the black raven, he received news of his nephew's death, as well as the entire Targaryen family. Infant children were thrown to death on the steps of the Iron Throne, young ones were disemboweled, and the young princess was raped and killed in a pool of her own children's blood. There was nothing Eamonn could do at this point.

When Master Aemon was telling the story, Zhao Mai was listening, and he saw Jon's face change.

I can understand how you feel, child... so I won't tell you whether to stay or go. Master Aemon said, But you have to remember that no matter what choice you make, you make it yourself. out, and then stay with it for life, without any excuses to escape or shirk. I can't say that the other way will be better. Will I be better than my brother Aegon? Or will I avoid giving the throne to Eli I don’t know about a king like Si. Maybe I will be crazier than him. You can only go one way at a time, and you can’t start over, so you must be careful!”

Who can come back? Maybe the detached person can do it, and the old man can definitely do it. Didn't he say that his ability is to make everything happen again? When Zhao Mai sent the still pale Jon out, he had a strange thought in his heart: Wouldn't there be choices after transcendence, and wouldn't there be dilemmas and pain? How did the old man make the choice to overturn something and start over?

What is true detachment?
