"ah..."
"ah..."
"hurry up..."
"..."
The castle of Winterfell.
A thick and tall city wall of nearly thirty meters.
It is located diagonally above the tower at about half the height of the inner city wall, on the steep wall.
A small figure is climbing hard.
The little figure who was pulling at the protruding rocks left over from the forging of the city wall was naturally Brandon Stark.
Although he is the second son of the Duke of Winterfell, the "King in the North".
But Brandon Stark is a little expert at climbing.
His history of practicing climbing began at a very young age.
During this period, Brandon Stark was discovered by his mother several times.
After being persuaded and warned by my mother.
He still couldn't resist the temptation to climb.
This is why even though he respects his teacher Morgan, he still climbs the wall.
Now, the king and his father led a large team participating in the hunting meeting that had just left Winterfell.
At this time, as long as you climb the city wall, you will definitely still be able to see their figures.
Such thoughts kept running through my mind.
Brandon Stark was full of motivation, and he was particularly comfortable stepping on rocky protrusions that looked extremely dangerous to others.
"Huh...huh..."
Brandon Stark took a deep breath, looked up at the top of the wall that was getting closer and closer, and stretched out his hand to skillfully grasp the familiar position of the rock protrusion.
His figure climbing on the steep city wall looked like an extremely agile monkey.
This wall is diagonally behind the tower.
Even if people within the city wall stand under the city wall, it is difficult to find Brandon Stark.
This is why it was still difficult for him to be caught red-handed after being discovered by his mother.
Brandon Stark climbed up hard.
at this time.
"ah..."
"ah..."
"Quick...quick..."
An intermittent sound of rapid breathing suddenly came from the wall above.
If the teenage Brandon Stark was older and had tasted women like his brothers, he would definitely know what this sound meant.
But how could he hear it now?
"Is there someone else who climbed up like me?"
Thinking like this, Brandon Stark's interest increased greatly, so he worked harder to climb up the city wall.
...
A vast wilderness.
In the lush and deep forest.
Morgan, holding a long bow, was slowly walking deep into the forest.
This time the king and the Duke of Winterfell brought a team of sixty or seventy people.
But the seemingly huge team dispersed into the huge forest in front of them, but it was like water dripping into the sea.
Unless a member of the hunt shows up, it's hard to spot.
Outside the forest.
A pale red light group has risen in the eastern sky.
Golden warm sunlight shines into the dense forest.
Only a small amount of tiny mottled light and shadow can be left among the forest.
"rustle..."
"rustle..."
Stepping on the primitive forest road filled with fallen leaves, vines, weeds and thorns between towering giant trees.
The sound of footsteps is difficult to cover up.
"Wow..."
Suddenly, there was a sound of movement, and two plump hares sprang out from the thorn bushes not far away and ran wildly into the depths of the forest.
Morgan didn't care either.
He had just discovered those two rabbits.
I'm just too lazy to do it.
No matter how many small animals you kill, you won't be able to get first place in this hunting competition.
If the king dared to award the first place in the hunting competition to the "Rabbit Killer", it would be a big joke.
Such a hunting convention.
Only hunt powerful and ferocious animals like wild boars, forest wolves, or giant bears.
Only then can victory be possible.
On strength.
Morgan is definitely the most powerful presence in the hunting party.
But just because he is strong does not mean that he will definitely win the first place.
If he can't find animals, he can't meet animals.
No matter how strong you are, it's all in vain.
"rustle..."
Light footsteps sounded.
As Morgan continues to deepen.
The giant trees grew taller and taller, the weeds, vines and thorns became denser and denser, and the light in the forest became dimmer.
The number of small animals that were disturbed by Morgan's footsteps began to increase.
Morgan's eyes quickly scanned the animals running around and found that the largest one was only an antlered deer half as tall as a man, still underage.
"It's a pity that it's not at night, otherwise the chance of encountering a ferocious beast would be much greater than early in the morning."
"But there are many herbivores and various small animals here..."
"There must be other large and ferocious animals coming around..."
His eyes scanned the deep and dark forest around him.
Morgan thought secretly.
The sound of footsteps was never a problem for him.
Resources are.
Thinking of this, Morgan casually hung the long bow on his back, took off the black fluffy coat that affected his movements and put it into the dimensional ring.
Then, Morgan was seen walking to the towering tree next to him, and using his hands and feet to climb up the tree very quickly.
Living in Middle-earth for so many years.
And he has an elf wife like Tariel.
Morgan's current flexibility in the forest is no better than that of the elves in the Dark Forest who have lived for hundreds of years.
Even though the Morgan was bigger and heavier.
However, the system enhancement gives Morgan an agility attribute far beyond that of ordinary people, which can completely offset Morgan's disadvantages in other aspects.
This is also the reason why Morgan can keep up with his daughter-in-law Tariel who is running at full speed in the dark forest.
Like now.
Morgan jumped between giant trees.
Not only is the movement extremely quiet, it can't even be heard below in the forest.
His movement speed is also far more flexible and faster than he is on the ground below.
"boom..."
A slight muffled sound sounded.
Morgan easily jumped several meters and stepped firmly on the thick branches under his feet.
Then the whole person walked quickly between the huge trunks and branches of the towering trees and moved forward.
In fact, it is not difficult to master the ability to jump and run flexibly between trees.
As long as you have enough agility and stability, you can easily walk over the dense forest.
Just like Morgan now.
"boom..."
It landed steadily on a thick branch.
Morgan immediately looked toward the forest below.
Just came all the way.
He actually saw a lot of animals.
In addition to a large number of small animals.
Morgan even saw a large wild boar leading a group of wild boar cubs foraging below.
But he wasn't very interested.
Although you can hunt wild boars, especially large wild boars.
It is already a rare honor for the members of the hunting team.
This was something Morgan had heard from other warriors before.
But the wild boar is currently.
Morgan was still a little disdainful.
He didn't want to carry a few wild boars to earn the first place.
And it’s not necessarily possible to win.
In normal hunting activities, unless the king is present, everyone will definitely just have a little serious fun.
But it involves a reward of one thousand gold dragon coins;
It involves the title of first place winner in the hunting competition.
This is something that the members of the hunting team simply cannot refuse.
Especially the latter's first-place title and reputation.
Even Robb Stark, the eldest heir of Winterfell, couldn't refuse.
Morgan is naturally even more so.
He desperately needs fame now, the more the better.
And the animal he plans to hunt is a ferocious beast that can shock everyone in one fell swoop and establish him as the champion of the hunting conference: the bear.
Mentioned before.
Westeros is also a fantasy and magnificent world.
There are powerful dragons, White Walkers who have died and been reborn, and children of the forest who hide in the forest and can use magic;
There are even traces of the existence of gods and miracles appearing in the human world.
But overall, compared with the last Middle-earth world where Morgan was.
In this world, both the highest level of combat effectiveness and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers at the lowest level are much worse than those in Middle-earth.
Apart from the treacherous power struggles among the major families in the mainland.
The soldiers at the bottom are really at the level of normal human warriors.
They will be upset because they lost money gambling the day before.
Also, because I was too excited to play with women last night, my legs will be weak the next day.
They have normal emotions.
For normal humans, there is no doubt about the power of beasts like bears.
Especially the dominant giant bear, which has almost no natural enemies in this primitive forest.
No matter how big your body grows, don’t be surprised.
After all, no matter how big the giant bear is, it will never be bigger than the giant dragon.
But for humans, this beast is extremely ferocious.
Even if they are holding cold weapons such as long bows and swords.
Facing a giant bear with a huge body, rough skin and thick flesh, anyone would be frightened when they see it.
Let alone hunting each other.
This is also the reason why King Robert Baratheon said before the hunting meeting that whoever kills the most wild boars will win the first place.
Most people would never think of hunting a giant bear.
"Hmph..."
Morgan crouched on a tree trunk and peered carefully down to the forest floor.
"Hmm..."
Suddenly, a slight sound came from below.
Unfortunately, Morgan's five senses were enhanced due to the strengthening of his spirit.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to hear the faint sounds below from a tree trunk thirty or forty meters high.
Morgan immediately looked towards the thorn bush that made the noise.
Soon, he saw a small wild boar emerging from a thorn forest overgrown with weeds and vines.
The first, second, and third wild boar walked out one after another.
When the fourth and final boar walked out.
Morgan's eyes lit up slightly.
What appeared in his sight was a creature with black needle-like hair all over its body, almost three meters in length, with a huge flat head and a pair of thick and sharp curved fangs on its face.
Even from his perspective, this wild boar was definitely not small.
"Should I kill him as a backup..."
Looking at the wild boar family walking leisurely below, this idea immediately flashed through Morgan's mind.
Several hours have passed.
There is still no sign of the giant bear.
As for the issue of giant bears hibernating, Morgan has already asked Jon Snow in advance.
Jon told him that because of the abundant food in the great forest, giant bears hibernate very late, and some even do not hibernate throughout the winter.
That's about as much as Morgan knows about giant bears.
This is why he wanted to hunt the giant bear.
But there is no absolute in everything.
The giant bear has not been found yet.
Killing this big wild boar, even with his ability as a marksman, would not be embarrassing.
It's noon now.
It will take quite some time to go back.
The pros and cons were quickly distinguished in his mind.
Morgan reached out and touched the longbow on his back.
at this time.
"Roar..."
A low roar suddenly sounded from the distant forest.
Morgan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this voice.
at the same time.
The huge wild boar below, which had a leisurely appearance, immediately turned its head and ran wildly in the opposite direction from where the roar came from.
After a few breaths.
The wild boar family has disappeared without a trace.
The spare tire ran away.
Morgan's face not only showed no trace of disappointment, but was filled with joy.
"It can scare away a wild boar of that size, even if it's not a giant bear, it's another beast of the same level..."
Thinking of this, Morgan immediately stood up and walked quickly in the direction of the sound source in front of him.
Jump and run flexibly between towering trees.
Morgan soon came to the range he estimated based on the source of the sound.
Squatting on the tree trunk, I looked carefully into the forest below.
Soon, Morgan saw a huge giant bear with gray-brown hair sitting at the bottom of a towering tree, holding something in his arms and gnawing, and kept making crisp clicks. Clicking sound.
Listen to the sound of bones being chewed.
Morgan looked at the huge bear below, which should be at least three and a half meters tall.
I finally felt relieved.
Although compared to the trolls, ring spirits, giant octopus monsters, and Balrogs he killed in Middle-earth, the ordinary giant bear in front of him was not worth mentioning at all.
But it is very likely to help him win the first place in this hunting competition.
I have to thank it no matter what.
Thank it and kill it.
While Morgan reached for the long bow arrow on his back, he jumped to the big branch opposite the giant bear.
Standing for confirmation is the best position.
Morgan nocked his bow and arrow, looked down at the giant bear who was eating vigorously, and said hello: "Hey..."
The giant bear who heard the sound subconsciously raised his head and looked at the source of the sound on the opposite side.
"I'm waiting for you..."
Morgan praised in his heart, and the long bow that was stretched into a full moon loosened the bow string at the moment when the giant bear raised its head.
"Whoosh..."
The arrows shot rapidly toward the giant bear below with a roaring sound.
Such a distance;
Such a motionless target.
Morgan had no reason to miss.
No surprises.
The arrow hit one of the giant bear's eye sockets with incomparable accuracy, and filled it with arrows.
The next second.
"Roar..."
A roar of immense pain mixed with anger sounded.
Morgan looked at the giant bear falling to the ground and struggling violently with cold eyes.
When the giant bear's short and fierce struggle completely stopped.
Morgan was already standing in front of the giant bear's corpse.
Look at the big guy in front of you.
Just a wave of the hand.
The three-and-a-half-meter-tall giant bear corpse disappeared instantly.
Morgan followed with a trace of spirit into the dimensional ring.
Only then did I realize that although the giant bear carcass was completely packed into the space, it was obviously a little crowded.
Fortunately, when I left Middle-earth.
He stored most of the gold treasures with his wife Tauriel.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to contain the giant bear carcass now.
I caught a giant bear as I wished.
The next journey back is easy.
Almost to the edge of the forest.
Morgan found a deserted place and took out the giant bear carcass.
It was almost getting dark at this time.
In the dark edge of the forest.
Morgan could even hear other voices coming from outside the forest.
When he was carrying an astonishingly huge bear carcass.
When walking out of the forest step by step.
Everyone was stunned.
