Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord

Gavin shook his head decisively and refused: "Mance Rayder, my ship is not a tool for you to invade the Seven Kingdoms. In order to prevent the White Walkers from becoming stronger, I can use the ship to take you to the island of Skagen for refuge, but that's all."

Mance Rayder frowned, stepped forward and said: "Skagen Island? How can such a small island accommodate my people? Gavin, you are denying us the chance to survive."

Gavin looked indifferent and said: "I understand your situation, Mance Rayder. But invading the south and provoking a war will bring more death and chaos. , this is not a solution to the problem. Instead, it will make it easier for the White Walkers to break through the Wall, and the chaotic Seven Kingdoms will not be able to resist the White Walkers. ”

Mance Rayder sneered: "Death and chaos? When did the lords of the south care about the lives of us wildlings? They built a high wall to block us out and called us wildlings. ”

Gavin said calmly: "Mance Rayder, even if you succeed in crossing the Wall, what can you do? The White Walkers will not stop their steps to the south, and you will still be unavoidable in the end. And, because of your hatred of the Seven Kingdoms, 's invasion, will completely lose the chance to resist the White Walkers. Of course, I can give you a chance to survive. If you are willing to be loyal to me, I will properly arrange a place for my people to settle down. "

Mance Rayder waved his hand angrily and roared: "Loyalty? You really have this idea. We free people will never kneel to anyone and will never become slaves of the southern lords. We are born free and die free."

Gavin spread his hands, smiled helplessly, and said: "Mance Rayder, what you call freedom is robbery, plunder and killing? When you step into someone else's territory, shouldn't you abide by the laws there? I am eager to gain the loyalty of the free people, and accordingly, I also give you a chance to live. "

Mance Rayder said firmly: "We follow the laws of nature outside the wall. We fight for survival. This is the way of survival for free people all the time. "

Gavin laughed after hearing this: "If you can't change the so-called way of survival, there will be no future survival"

Mance Rayder stopped talking after hearing this, fell into silence, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"If you want to rob ships, I advise you to give up this idea. Even if you succeed in robbing one or two ships by chance, you will be sunk by other warships." Gavin reminded.

After being exposed, Mance Rayder said disdainfully: "Gavin Balerion, you seem to have us in your hands, but you don't understand the free people."

Gavin nodded and said: "Maybe, maybe I really don't understand the free people, but I understand human nature. At the moment of life and death, people will change many of their previous insistences."

After that, Gavin looked at Osha behind him and said: "Think about your children. Isn't it your job to save their lives?"

Then Gavin no longer paid attention to the silent two people, turned around and left calmly, saying as he walked: "There is still plenty of time, think about it carefully, Mance Rayder."

Since that conversation, Gavin has never met Mance Rayder again. Hearing that he has left Hardhome, Gavin guessed that he continued to gather wildlings.

One day, Osha sent a message to inform Gavin that the giant had agreed to the deal and was currently transporting wood to Hardhome. However, due to the long distance and the huge amount of transportation, it might take a long time to complete the task.

After a little consideration, Gavin immediately entrusted some experienced and steady captains to take charge of the remaining related matters. In addition, in addition to leaving behind those armed merchant ships for escort and necessary defense, he ordered other warships to embark on the journey back home.

After arranging all this, Gavin took Daenerys and rode a flying dragon towards the Black Castle.

After landing on an open space not far from the Black Castle, Gavin took Daenerys on foot towards the ancient castle.

Gavin took Daenerys to the Black Castle, and not far away, the Wall of Despair stood tall. This magnificent building made of ice and boulders is seven hundred feet high, like a sleeping dragon lying on the ground. The sun shines on the ice of the Great Wall, reflecting a dazzling light.

Under the Great Wall, the outline of the Black Castle gradually becomes clear. The castle walls are very low, and the whole is built with black stone, which contrasts with the white Great Wall, and looks solemn and majestic. Although it is summer, there is still unmelted snow at the foot of the Great Wall, which adds a bit of coolness to this land.

As they get closer and closer, the guards of the Black Castle soon discover the two people in the distance. Seeing that there are only two people, the guards don't care.

When Gavin and Daenerys came to the bottom of the castle, the guard shouted: "Who are you and what is your purpose here?"

Gavin stepped forward and said to the guard: "I am Gavin Bellerys, Lord of the Stone Archipelago. I came here with my servants and want to see Jeor Mormont, the commander of the Night's Watch. Please pass it on." After that, he turned sideways and glanced at Daenerys, who was already wearing a hood and dressed as a tomboy.

The guard frowned, looked Gavin and Daenerys up and down, hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait here, I will report it." Then he turned and walked into the castle quickly.

Not long after, the guard reappeared and raised his hand to signal, "The commander agrees to see you, come with me." Gavin heard it, pulled Daenerys's sleeve, and the two followed the guard into the Black Castle.

Gavin followed the guard into the house, and saw two people sitting behind a slightly old wooden table.

The gray-haired, strong old man is the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, Jeor Mormont. Next to him sits Maester Aemon, who has a cloudy look and white hair.

Mormont looked up at Gavin with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Gavin Bellerys? I have never heard of this family."

Gavin bowed respectfully, "Lord Commander, I became the lord of the newly opened territory with the pioneering order a few years ago. I have been operating in the south before, and it is located in a remote area. It is normal that you don't know."

Mormont nodded and said, "So that's the case. I know Sir Gavin of the Stepstones. It is also a great achievement for you to conquer the Stepstones."

Maester Aemon on the side tilted his head slightly, as if trying to see Gavin and Daenerys clearly, his eyes searching them.

After a few words of small talk, Mormont asked, "So, Lord Gawain, what brings you all the way to the Wall?" Mormont frowned, then asked, "And are there only two of you walking here?"
