Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

"The Land of Everwinter in Westeros and Mosui in the Far East are both the origins of the Long Night recorded in history, and Essos' Ifverlon Forest is indeed similar to these two places." After listening to Ian's guess, Melisandre nodded in agreement, "It's not impossible to say that this time the long night will start from the Forest of Ifverlon."

"You just said." Melisandre asked immediately, "Winter has arrived early in Ifverlon Forest, and it's full of snow?"

"That's right, I also checked the same latitude with the Ifveron Forest." Ian paused for a moment, suddenly remembering that the other party might not understand what latitude is, so he changed his words, "I also checked the latitude of the Ifveron Forest." The area along the Shivering Sea near the Forest of Veron, and even the islands between Iban Island and the mainland of Essos to the north of the forest, have not yet entered winter. Only the Forest of Ifverlon has been covered with snow. .”

"Could the early onset of cold winter have something to do with the circular formation of corpses you saw?" Melisandre asked after thinking for a while.

"Do you know the function of that circle array?" Ian asked hurriedly.

"I don't know," Melisandre shook her head, "Although this pattern is recorded in the ancient books of Asshai, its use has never been recorded. The only thing that can be determined is that the corpses used for this kind of sacrifice , they will all turn into corpses in the end.”

"Is it so difficult to create a wight?" Ian was stunned. He thought that the white ghost only needed to raise his hand and the corpse would turn into a wight. If creating a wight requires such a complicated ritual, then the threat posed by the Night King and the White Walkers is much smaller.

"Of course not," Melisandre shook her head again. "Controlling the corpse is just the simplest form of necromancy. For the White Walkers, it only takes a thought."

"The wights are directly controlled by the White Walkers?"

"Yes, one White Walker can control a large number of wights at the same time."

"Then let's put it this way. If the corpses arranged in a circle in the Forest of Ifverlon will all turn into ghouls, wouldn't there already be White Walkers there?" Ian's heart skipped a beat.

"That's why I just said that maybe this time the Cold God really takes the Ifveron Forest as the main direction of attack."

"But. How did the White Walkers appear in the Forest of Ifverlon? I clearly remember that they live in the land of eternal winter in the north of Westeros. There are White Walker cities and ice spiders there."

"Do you remember?" Melisandre couldn't help but asked strangely, "Have you been there?"

Ian couldn't help but be stunned.

"No one knows where the White Walkers come from, and no one knows what they are. They are demons of ice, snow and cold. They are our ancient enemies and real opponents." Melisandre then said.

That's right, I've never been to the so-called Ice City. Ian sneered. The information he got was not only from semi-official sources, but also 'legends'. God knows how credible it is.

"So, as long as we find a corpse starting to move around the edge of the forest, then there will definitely be a White Walker in the forest?" Ian thought for a while and confirmed to Melisandre.

"Yes." Melisandre replied succinctly, and immediately added, "After what you said, I suspect that the ritual you saw may be related to the reason why the White Walkers appeared in the Forest of Ifverlon. If it were me It would be great if I could check Yaxia's ancient books now, so that I might be able to discover more secrets before the decisive battle." She sighed secretly as she spoke.

"Besides Yaxia, are there any other places that may have the information you want?" Ian has not thought of going to Yaxia. Yaxia is too far away. Even flying with a dragon will take a long time, and now he is the only one. Being able to control a dragon and break into Yaxia City in person is too risky for me.

"Except for Asshai. Maybe there will be information in the library of the capital city of Yidi or the old town of Westeros, but not necessarily." Melisandre thought for a while and said.

"We can't go to Yi Di now, but the Old Town Library. Let's do this. After you prepare, go to the port and take a boat to Old Town immediately. We must be prepared to fight the long night as soon as possible."

"Will the school city in Old Town allow us to access forbidden books in the library?" Melisandre asked doubtfully.

"Before your ship reaches Oldtown, that city is no longer theirs."

"Okay," Melisandre naturally understood that Ian was planning to take Old Town directly in a short time, so she directly agreed to Ian's arrangement. After thinking about it, she added, "Well, I'll be here first. Seek help from the Lord of Light, and maybe He will give us some enlightenment."

"I hope so." Ian nodded in agreement

Melisandre then began to direct the red-robed monks in the Great Red Temple of Volantis to help prepare for the ritual, while Ian fell into thinking again.

If the ritual that appeared in the Forest of Ifverlon was really related to the White Walkers, then my guess that the Cold God had changed the direction of his main attack might actually be correct.

But according to the plot of the original work, this time the long night should come to the land of eternal winter in the north of Westeros. You guessed it right!

What went wrong?

Ian was thinking about it, and suddenly he remembered his previous guess about the relationship between the Cold God and the Old God. If the purpose of the Cold God using the Night King to invade Westeros was to allow the Three-Eyed Raven to harvest Westeros. Luo's faith can bring the entire Western Continent back to the embrace of the weirwood.

In the timeline of this world, the Old God failed to complete the layout of the Stark family at all, and was unable to harvest faith, so the invasion of Westeros lost its meaning for Him.

On the contrary, the Red God Sect, a faith that was absolutely hostile to the Cold God, spread rapidly in Essos like a plague.

If the seven-faced false god believed in by the Six Kingdoms in the South of Westeros does not pose any threat to the Cold God, then the belief in the Red God supported by the New Valyrian Empire may pose a threat to the Cold God. Let Him shine upon your back.

In this way, it is much more reasonable for the Cold God to choose to invade Essos first to stifle the expansion of the Red God Sect, while temporarily putting aside the innocuous Seven Gods Faith.

Just as Ian was thinking about it, he realized that Melisandre had completed her ritual and returned to him.

"What did you see in the vision?"

"A big battle."

"Where? Who and whom?" Ian asked hurriedly.

"In the darkness and thick fog, the faint light from the torch was almost swallowed up by the deep darkness around me." Melisandre frowned, "In such thick fog, I can hardly see anything clearly. Even the soldiers who are shoulder to shoulder may not be able to see their companions beyond two positions."
