The weather in the north is getting colder day by day...
Although the North has always been cold, covered with snow all year round, and temperatures below minus ten degrees are normal, but according to the residents of Winterfell, it seems to be getting colder day by day like this year, which is really extremely rare.
And the Stark family who guards the North has been talking about the coming of winter every day. I am afraid that it may really come true this year... because now almost everyone in Winterfell, up to the temporary queen, Sansa and other noble lords, down to soldiers and civilians, all knew more or less what was going on north of the Great Wall, and knew that a large number of White Walkers were heading south.
Therefore, 'winter is coming' is no longer a warning word used by the Stark family as a clan slang and to scare people, but a naked and real alarm!
Yes, winter is coming and the White Walkers are coming...
This is the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all living people in Westeros, and the rope is about to be broken. By then, no one in the entire continent will be spared!
Of course, this kind of thing has nothing to do with Galen!
Because, now he is just a small, hired guard... No one will come to him specifically to discuss such a 'big matter' that affects the life and death of the entire Westeros continent. In the eyes of the so-called 'big men', he, the so-called five-star general of the Koprulu Sector Federation of Heroes, is just a useless little character, a bug-like existence?
However, it’s not like no one is looking for him at all…
Isn’t this?
Originally, Galen thought that he would have nothing to do today, and he could only continue to wander around Winterfell, where there were only about 350,000 people left. When he received an invitation, he had to talk to that Sansa. After the employer reported for leave, he came alone again to the wolf forest in the west outside Winter City, which was covered with vast white snow, and the snow on the ground was almost up to his calves.
The last time, it was here that he, Galen, got lost and almost froze to death!
But now, when he comes here again, he is no longer the unlucky guy who nearly froze to death wearing a thin piece of standard officer underwear! At this time, he was wearing thick clothes made of animal furs produced in Winterfell, making himself look like a barbarian who drank hair and drank blood. He even wore a thick wolfskin cloak on the outside. The cloak was walking in the snow of the wolf forest step by step.
Then……
Garen had not been far from Winterfell when he regretted it again!
Originally, he thought that the destination of the appointment was not too far away, and he could walk there in ten minutes?
But now...
Look, in this terrible environment, in this wolf forest with thick snow, he really should have made two simple sleds before going out...if he had such simple tools. , now he might have reached that destination.
However, now that he was almost at his destination, Winterfell behind him had already been blocked by tall trees covered with thick snow. And since there was not enough time, he certainly did not turn around and go back. I can only complain while walking forward with difficulty, and from time to time I criticize the cold-proof performance of the clothes I am wearing!
Anyway, Galen feels that compared to the constant temperature system of their Federation's CMC armor, the thick layer of animal skin clothing he is wearing now is really too bad...
They are not breathable, which is okay if you don’t do strenuous activities. But once you start walking like this, the heat and sweat from your body will be trapped inside, and it will feel sour... If you think about it again, that The poor conditions in Winterfell, where it was rare to take a bath for more than a week, made him feel even more sad and desperate!
Life here is really unbearable, and he, Galen, wants to go home...
"!!"
"Aha! I should have known earlier. Since this poor place is called Wolf Forest, there must be some reason..."
As soon as he entered this place called Wolf Forest, Galen realized that he seemed to be in trouble:
A group of hungry direwolves stared at him with pairs of brown eyes, and soon, they rushed out from the place where they seemed to have ambush for a long time, trapping him in the middle...
They are very fast and can reach out very nimbly. They can also run quickly on the snow, and the depth of their footsteps into the snow is also very shallow. It is completely different from Galen's side, where one step is deeper and the other is shallower, and their movement is severely restricted. It's inconvenient to walk, let alone run.
"..."
At this time, an alpha wolf that was slightly larger than the average direwolf appeared.
It did not attack directly, but used its pair of orange glasses to stare at the creature in the distance wearing the fur of their kind. It seemed to be thinking about why the opponent and they were generally wolves, but they did use two legs. Walking and having a weird head?
And, the most important thing is: the smell on the other person's body is not right. It doesn't smell like their kind, but more like those hairless orangutans who like to walk on two legs and use many strange things?
"Hey!"
"A wolf, right? Just come here, you will die gloriously! It just so happens that my general is a little short of money recently. If I kill you all and drag you back, I will definitely make a lot of money!!"
That's right, now Galen is not afraid of these direwolves who only use their fangs and claws to attack and fight. He just stands here and doesn't move. If they dare to rush up, no matter how many they come, they will definitely not be enough to kill him!
In order for him to live a comfortable and good life in Winterfell, it is impossible to say that he, Galen, will make a guest appearance as a hunter today? And for a good deal like this that comes to your door for free, he will definitely not miss it easily! Now that he has been reduced to this situation and is shameless, he really can't care about too many other things.
'Woooo...'
The leading direwolf looked at the human trapped in the middle of the wolves for a while, then lowered his head and roared viciously.
The next moment, the wolves moved! !
'Ouch! '
A deep roar sounded to Galen's left, and a huge male wolf suddenly left the circle of wolves and charged towards the 'gorilla' standing on the snow in the middle, with his feet deeply buried in the snow. Passed by!
At the same time, when they found that the enemy was attracted by the cry of their companions and turned to look over, the five direwolves on the other side also waited for the opportunity, accelerating towards the enemy from different directions, and opened their respective arms. With his bloody mouth, he aimed at the enemy's limbs and vital neck respectively, preparing to kill and devour this 'gorilla' who went deep into the wolf forest alone according to his past experience of cooperating to hunt large creatures!
"Ha! Interesting!!"
A chuckle rang out, and a faint golden light began to appear on Galen's body.
"You are... seeking your own death!!"
These evil wolves are very fast, but if they were on flat ground, Galen would be able to deal with them with ease without any mistakes... But now that his legs are trapped in the snow, it is difficult to walk, let alone It was said that he was avoiding it by moving.
Therefore, if an ordinary person is trapped in this predicament and faces a pack of hungry wolves without weapons, it will definitely be a disaster!
It's a pity that Galen is not an ordinary person!
Therefore, when the six wolves attacked one after another, but they cooperated very well, and almost simultaneously bit Galen's hands, feet and neck, he finally started to move...
Judgment! !
His hands suddenly clenched into fists, and there was a faint golden light on his hands. Then, at the moment when the wolves were about to pounce on him, Galen suddenly used his fists as weapons and moved at high speed on the spot. The ground spun.
'Ouch...'
'...'
Like a golden whirlwind, accompanied by snow splashing around and the wolf screaming miserably, Galen soon stopped spinning for less than a second.
puff! puff!
puff! puff! puff! puff!
The sequence was different, but six consecutive sounds of heavy objects falling on the snow were heard. The six wolves that had just attacked Galen were now bleeding from the mouth and nose, and were lying in various weird postures. It fell to the snow, motionless, obviously dead.
"Haha! I got six wolf skins!!"
Now for Galen, who is struggling financially, mosquitoes, no matter how small, are nothing but meat! The six wolf skins and the meat of six wolves in front of him were enough for him to live happily for several days!
"Hmph!"
"You guys should keep coming, I'm sure I won't mind, General!!"
Seeing that he had killed six direwolves in one instant and the wolves were slowly retreating in fear, Galen spoke disdainfully and provoked, regardless of whether the other party could understand or not.
"Back off..."
"!!"
Just as Galen was considering whether to continue chasing the hesitant wolves, a voice that was obviously a human voice rang out, and then the wolves actually slowly retreated in unison?
Then, Galen looked in the direction of the sound and saw an acquaintance sitting on a sleigh-like object, with his lower body covered with a thick blanket, being pushed by a servant and slowly walking out. At the same time, he was also invited. The Bran Stark who came here on his own.
"..."
"You used those wolves to test me, and you can still control the wolves?!"
He looked at Bran who was sitting on the 'sleigh' and looking at him calmly, and then looked at the huge direwolf parked next to him and allowing him to stroke his fur. , Galen frowned and asked tentatively with some displeasure.
"No, I can't control the wolves..."
"I just controlled the wolf and asked it to send wolves to wait for you here on your way here... Mr. Galen, because of some things, I hope to see your strength first..."
"So, I'm sorry, I have to do this..."
Bran Stark looked at Galen levelly, recalling the golden light that shone on him just now, and then nodded with some satisfaction. The other party is indeed not an ordinary person. With such power beyond ordinary people, it is indeed worthy of his invitation to come here this time.
“Fucking fucked up!”
"I think you Starks are more ruthless than the other! Weren't you afraid that those wolves would accidentally bite me to death just now?!"
While he was annoyed that the other party was testing him like this, Galen couldn't help but sneer at the brats of the Stark family.
For example, the young Sansa was cruel to herself, forcing herself to follow the requirements of a lord and a queen. She spent all day delving into machinations and tricks and ways to win over people's hearts. She completely lost all sense of self. Hobbies, leisure and entertainment, etc., are all about living for the not-glorious outer skin that is put on in front of others. It can be said that he is a person who is cruel to himself!
And that little girl Arya and this younger Bran are cruel to others...
That she-wolf Arya always doubted herself and clamored to kill her all day long... But this Bran went even further. He directly let the wolves test her, not afraid that those wolves would really kill her. Bitten yourself to death? Galen knew the danger of the situation just now. If he killed another person, something would definitely happen in that situation!
Once those wolves bite the cervical arteries, given the current medical conditions in this world, it is basically possible to give up treatment.
"This is the Wolf Forest. There are many wolves here, and many people die here every year..."
Bran Stark didn't say much, he just stared at Garen standing not far in front of him for a while, and then said something insignificant.
"alright, I got it……"
The other party's meaning is very obvious, that is: if he, Galen, is not good enough and cannot resist the attacks of those wolves, then he deserves to be eaten!
"Are you Galen?"
"It's really strange... No matter how hard I try, I only saw the scene where you fell out of a blue light door. Before that, there was no trace of your existence in this world... …Who are you and where are you from?”
"Also, that 'space gem' you mentioned, what is it?!"
Bran Stark stared at Galen for a long time, and sometimes his eyes would turn white as if they were dead. When Galen became a little impatient, he finally spoke, and as soon as he spoke, he was frightened. Galen was shocked!
"!!"
Space gem!
Blue light door! ?
Galen swore that he didn't seem to have told anyone about this, right? Moreover, a few days ago, when he fell out of the blue plane portal, he was sure that there was absolutely no one around!
So, here comes the question: How did this guy, this Bran Stark, know?
"..."
"You don't need to look at me with this strange look. Although my legs are disabled, but...I have become a three-eyed crow now. I can see whatever happened in the past I want to see at will. things, and what is happening now..."
Yes, in addition to having no power and being unable to see the future, Bran Stark's abilities are beyond everyone's imagination!
Moreover, he can possess animals, plants, etc. in this world...
It can be said unceremoniously that if he, Bran Stark, had greater personal power, he would almost be a god in this world!
"So powerful? What is that, magic?!"
Galen couldn't believe that there was such a terrifying ability in this world? The other party didn't do anything just now. He just looked at me for a while, and he actually knew all about his past in this world? Could this guy be the incarnation of God in this world? !
"I have no idea……"
Bran Stark shook his head. He didn't know what magic Mr. Galen was talking about.
"Can you really see what happened to anyone in the past, see what they did, hear what they said?"
Galen, who was a little unwilling to give up, asked again in surprise.
"Yes!"
"you sure?"
"Sure……"
"..."
"With this kind of weird ability, you would really be too humble if you don't become a spy..."
"Little guy, if I can go back, if this world can be connected to our Koprulu sector, I will definitely recommend you to join the special intelligence department of our federation, and then let those doctors treat you for free. Legs!”
No longer caring about the direwolves lying dead on the ground, Galen took a few steps directly, stepped on the thick snow on the ground, strode to the front of Bran Stark, and then carefully walked up and down. He looked at the other person carefully, and the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became, so he made this promise.
He, Galen, was a general, and he would definitely do what he said and what he did.
If he really has a chance to return to Haven, this useful little guy like Bran Stark will definitely be promoted to a high official and marry Bai Fubai based on his weird and terrifying investigative ability. , reaching the pinnacle of life will definitely be countless times better than living on this primitive indigenous planet now!
"..."
"My leg has been broken for many years, and it can't be cured!"
With his brows lowered, Bran Stark couldn't help but use his special ability to see what happened when he was still young and broke into the man and woman in the ruined tower.
And then……
He just fell down...
"Do not worry!"
"I'm telling you, our federation's medical technology capabilities are beyond your imagination! Don't say that your legs are just broken and paralyzed now. Even if they are chopped off, we can easily regrow them for you!"
Yes, the biotechnology of the Zerg is unparalleled in the world. Thanks to their help, the medical level of mankind has now reached an unprecedented level. Let alone such a trivial matter as breaking two feet, even if it is a brain replacement or a brain replacement, They have many ways to change the body, replace internal organs, etc.!
Of course, some things are illegal, so don't do it randomly.
"..."
"I came to you today for something else..."
After a moment of silence, Bran Stark, who was somewhat convinced but didn't hold out much hope, shook his head in confusion and prepared to start the business of the day.
"certainly!"
"I've actually seen it for a long time. You didn't ask me to come here as a test or to send me a few wolves. Tell me, as long as it's not too much trouble, I will definitely help you!"
This Bran Stark is a rare and important talent who is of great use to their Federation of Heroes. Therefore, Galen's attitude towards the other party has become slightly better, and he is no longer as annoyed by the dangerous temptation as before.
"Can you protect my two sisters?"
"..."
"Huh? What did you see again? Are they in danger in the castle?"
These words made Galen a little curious. He was now Sansa's guard, and he would definitely do his best. Is this guy worthy of asking for help?
"I don't know what's going to happen in the future...I can only see the past and present...someone is targeting them...
There is a turbulent undercurrent in Winterfell, and Bran Stark certainly knows that, but there are some things that he cannot say explicitly, or even hint at! Therefore, after thinking about it, he approached Lord Galen, who did not belong to Westeros or this world.
Moreover, he was worried about another thing, the White Walkers, they were coming soon...
"oh!"
"But since you saw it, why didn't you just go and tell them?"
Galen was a little confused. It would be better for his brother to remind his two sisters than to ask him, an outsider, right?
"I can not……"
Shaking his head, Bran expressionlessly rejected Galen's proposal. Because Bran saw that there seemed to be some distance between his two sisters now, so it was better for them to think about some things on their own. As a three-eyed crow, his main energy should be on dealing with aliens. As for the ghost thing, as for the rest, it all depends on them. He doesn't want to get involved too much...
Because he is no longer a mortal and has his own difficulties.
"..."
"Okay, I promise you! At most, I'll pay more attention these days to make sure they're fine!"
This is not a random response by Galen. You must know that his power of justice is very powerful. As long as they are not killed all at once, he can definitely save the other party.
"Thanks!"
Rarely, Bran Stark actually laughed and said thank you?
"If there's nothing else, then I'm leaving?"
For such a trivial matter, Galen felt that it would be enough to just find a place in Winterfell. Why bother going outside the city? So, he planned to go back. It was still too cold outside and he was not used to it.
"etc!"
"??"
"What else do you want? Can you finish it in one breath?!"
"..."
"Mr. Galen, there are a lot of discarded papers in the middle drawer of my room. If you need it, take it. Please don't steal my clothes to do that kind of thing again..."
"!!"
"You pervert! You actually use your own abilities to look at that kind of personal a**?!"
Shocked, Galen suddenly exclaimed.
"..."
"Could it be that you can still use that ability to see other things? For example...your sister takes a bath or something?"
As he talked, Galen started to feel envious of the other party... How great would it be if he also had that kind of magical ability?
"..."
"I'm tired, you go back!!"
As soon as his face darkened, Bran Stark reached out and motioned to his companions behind him to push him away. Suddenly, he didn't want to see that face of Galen.
"Hey, hey, I was just joking with you, but don't take it seriously... I'm just a little bit annoyed that you, a man, looked at my butt. I'm Galen, not gay!!"
"Also, you have to remember what I just said, they are your sisters, so don't use your abilities indiscriminately!!"
"..."
