#116 - Chapter 3: Parting Ways
Liu Yuan carefully examined it. It was just a very ordinary gray wolf, looking a bit old, with its fur already turning white. The only difference was the intelligent gleam in its eyes. It seemed that Hagen's consciousness had indeed occupied the gray wolf's body. He then looked at Hagen's original body, which resembled a gray-white statue, devoid of any vitality.
With a strong exploratory spirit, he instructed the gray wolf to turn circles, roll around, jump up and down... He tormented it for about half an hour. The gray wolf lay there, panting with its tongue lolling out. Hagen wasn't really a dog, ah呸~ I mean, a wolf. But he didn't dare to quit, his life was still in the hands of the other party.
Liu Yuan wasn't really deliberately tormenting him; he was testing the reactions after the consciousness possession, including the degree of compatibility of the possession. In fact, the combat power of a skinchanger depends on the animal companion they inhabit. Bringing a gray wolf and bringing an ice wolf are worlds apart. However, the strength of a skinchanger's ability is almost innate and rarely strengthened by acquired training.
Theoretically, anyone with First Men blood has the opportunity to awaken as a skinchanger. The purer the bloodline, the higher the chance of natural awakening, with a probability of about one in a thousand. Some people with strong spiritual senses may enter the consciousness of animals unconsciously, especially when falling asleep, and particularly with animals that are close to them and with whom they have an emotional bond.
Liu Yuan didn't really care about the little combat power of a skinchanger. In fact, skinchangers have considerable uses. They can inhabit birds to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance, no worse than drones of later generations, and can monitor the battlefield in real time. By using multiple skinchangers, they can control the entire army and conduct unimpeded command.
Liu Yuan waved his hand to let Hagen release the possession. After Hagen's consciousness returned, he collapsed directly on the ground, his body trembling. Liu Yuan said to him, "You're pretty good. Follow me from now on! Tell me, what are your requirements for your treatment?"
Hagen was a little conflicted. This young lord seemed quite powerful. But he didn't know what he had that was worth valuing. However, when he met Nina's cold gaze, he shuddered: "Hagen is willing to follow Lord, I will serve you until the end of my life." He had figured it out. He was almost forty years old, and being able to serve the lord was a good choice.
Liu Yuan smiled with satisfaction and said to his subordinates, "Nina, take him down! He will be your new teammate from now on. Go to Verax and get him a set of equipment. Oh, right, have him wash up and tell him our rules by the way."
Before long, several female guards brought up the food. Dinner was grilled sausage and wheat cakes, along with potato and vegetable soup. It was ordinary food, but it made the Night's Watch almost cry with joy—it was so delicious. Even a few knights from good backgrounds devoured it ravenously; they hadn't had such delicious food in many years. The cooks in the team had all been trained by Liu Yuan, so the guards didn't feel much about it after eating it often.
Derryg was once a servant of the king. He increasingly felt that Ser Jaron was not simple. Just maintaining such a guard was a considerable expense, let alone maintaining such a high standard of food. He winked at Benjen Stark, who immediately understood. He opened his mouth and asked, "Ser Jaron, I have a question. Why did you come north of the Wall? It's freezing cold here and full of wildlings."
Liu Yuan laughed, "After the Tourney at Harrenhal, I went to the Citadel and studied for a full eight years. The vast amount of knowledge was fascinating. After reading so many books, I had the idea of going out and traveling. In the past year or so, I've traveled to many places. I've seen the ruins of the Valyrian peninsula; I've been to Slaver's Bay to appreciate the exotic customs; I've also been to the Rhoyne to visit the homeland of the Rhoynar; I've been to the Sorrows to see the Stone Men infected with greyscale; and I've fought with the brave Dothraki warriors... Now I've come to the Far North to find the legendary giants and Children of the Forest, and perhaps have the opportunity to see the Others in the Land of Always Winter."
Everyone listened with fascination, and Benjen and several younger people looked even more yearning. The older ones calculated how much money it would cost. Alliser sarcastically said, "Young lads, spending so much money and energy on such meaningless things. When you don't manage your own fiefdom well and go bankrupt, you'll know the importance of money." Several members of the Night's Watch looked unhappy when they heard his sarcasm. Alliser was too rude.
Liu Yuan didn't care, and said casually, "Did I spend a lot of money? It seems so! About 100,000 gold dragons, I didn't calculate it carefully. Ser Alliser, don't use your entire fortune to challenge my pocket money." He directly retorted. Everyone who heard it burst into laughter.
Alliser's face turned red with shame. Liu Yuan was pointing at his nose and scolding: You poor wretch, in my eyes you are like a beggar on the street. But he could only endure it. After all, he was on someone else's territory, so he should be honest!
These were just small episodes. People returned to their tents to rest before nine o'clock in the evening. The guard officers themselves would arrange the night watch and patrol matters. The wounded members of the Night's Watch were properly placed in the tents. The early winter nights were still very cold. And the others could only huddle together around the campfire, wrapped in animal skins to keep warm. They looked at the guards with envy, the guards could sleep in warm tents.
The next morning, the members of the Night's Watch were awakened by the noise. The guards had already begun to pack up the camp. Tents and other sundries had been disassembled and packed, seemingly messy but actually well-organized. The camp was also filled with the fragrance of food. "Grumble~ Grumble~" Benjen seemed to hear his stomach protesting. Liu Yuan did not invite the Night's Watch to eat breakfast again. The guards received 3-5 large meat buns and a bowl of oatmeal according to their own food intake.
The Night's Watch members drooled, and they all stared at Alliser with unkind eyes. It was this damn guy who offended the lord last night, which made them have no food to eat.
Liu Yuan picked up the dragon egg from the fire, blew off the carbon ash on it. The dragon egg was now emitting a faint glow. The life rhythm inside was very obvious. He felt that the dragon egg was about to mature, so he put it in his satchel and prepared to carry it with him.
Liu Yuan walked out of the tent and saw the black-clothed men with eyes like hungry wolves. Looking at Grigg gobbling up a large meat bun in two bites, what else didn't he understand? His subordinates were giving the black-clothed men a hard time. He waved and called someone over: "Nina, did you order this?"
Nina said a little guiltily, "My Lord, it really has nothing to do with me. The kitchen has already prepared breakfast, but they didn't come to get it. I can't feed them in their mouths, can I!"
