The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

breakfast.

On the long table that can accommodate hundreds of people, there are steaming bread, shredded beef and lamb, honey, milk, grape crystal juice, beef leg soup, snowbird eggs, various fresh vegetable salads, chives and pork floss, etc. . In addition, there are also famous wines from the city of Meerin in the eastern continent across the narrow sea.

Because of the weather in the north, even a girl can drink a few glasses. Men usually don't have a wine bag around their waists, and they can drink two sips of dehumidification and coldness when chatting, just like drinking tea.

Lord Ed and Mrs. Catelyn are at the table. On both sides of the long table, there are Robb, Jon, Theon, Bran, and Rickon in order. On the opposite side are Sansa and Arya, Sister Modan and Lu Bachelor of Wen, Treasurer Viyan Poole, coach Sir Rodrik.

The black brother Will Cao is also present.

Next to Will are the captain of the guard Jory Kelso, the deputy captain Erin, the steward of the stables Hulun, the director of the castle Desmond and others.

Ed Stark likes to eat with his closest subordinates, which is also a tradition he teaches his children.

Ed Stark often tells children that you can’t expect people who don’t have a sense of closeness and respect to you to work for you. You should treat your subordinates the same way you treat your own family. You should eat, drink, and train with them more. , Because at this time, it is easiest for you to understand the character of each of them and know what kind of person they are.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that you have to give your subordinates the opportunity to understand what kind of person you are.

When there are no distinguished guests, Jon is at the same table with his father, brothers and sisters. If there are noble guests, he has to avoid him and go to eat with the servants, groomsmen, etc. in the next room, so that the distinguished guests will not feel affected. Humiliated.

In Westeros, illegitimate children are not legalized, so Jon Snow does not belong to the Stark family. He has no inheritance rights, no status, no property, and cannot use the Stark surname, so You can't call yourself Stark to outsiders.

Xue Nuo's surname is discriminatory and is the common surname of all children without fathers in the north. Although Jon has a father and no mother, he is also named Xuenuo by convention.

In the more than three hundred years that the Targaryen family ruled the continent of Westeros, King Aegon IV did a controversial and remarkable thing. He was the only king who legalized his illegitimate child. Among them, the four illegitimate children are the most representative. Because the mothers of these four illegitimate children also have prominent identities, they are called "noble illegitimate children" in history.

At least three of the four legalized illegitimate children are super fierce. Among them, the Black Fire rebellion ruled the king, and the other two became rivals, and both became aliens, and finally became prophets through practice. Among them, the prophet Blinden Hewen also became the prime minister of two generations of kings, and finally went to the Great Wall in the north to become the green prophet, and the three-eyed crow who later taught Bran to practice alien abilities was his incarnation.

In the more than 300 years that the Targaryen family ruled the Westeros continent, no one in history has achieved brilliant fame as an illegitimate child than Blinden Hewen.

But, obviously, Jon Snow did not have the luck of Blinden River. He has been discriminated against since he was sensible. This discrimination not only comes from Mrs. Caitlin, but also comes from the elegant and beautiful sister Sansa and the family. other people. Although Ed Stark treats him equally, the power of the custom of discriminating against illegitimate children is irresistible. Even Stable Chief Hulun’s youngest daughter, Beth, looks down on Jon Snow.

Will poured himself two glasses of wine. Not everyone can taste the famous wine from Meereen, which is very far away. Will pushes one glass of wine to Jon Snow’s, several people away. before.

Jon Snow looked up and Will raised his glass to greet him. Jon Snow was grateful, but he still looked at his father's face first. Ed Stark has always had a snowy expression, cold outside and hot inside. He looked at Caitlin again, Mrs. Caitlin's eyes with the usual contempt.

"Brother Jon, a toast, I respect you!" Will smiled.

Jon Snow raised the glass. He had long wanted to drink a glass of the prestigious wine from Mi Lin, but he had never had a chance. The sweet fragrance of the wine kept piercing into his nostrils, which made people feel itchy.

Robb smiled and said, "Will, why do you respect Jon alone? I would like to have two drinks too."

Mother Catelyn's eyes were cold, and Robb smiled and stopped.

In the morning, except for a few jazz and the head of the guard, the rest of the children and the head of the guard are not allowed to drink. Today Lord Ed took out a good drink because of Will. Once Ed Stark has identified a person, he will bring out the best things to entertain guests. He is such a character.

Will smiled and said, "Because Jon is the smartest, he is the only one who didn't challenge me. Look at Theon again. The injury on half of his face will be at least half a month away. Robb, your fingers are okay."

"It's okay." Robb raised his hand to show everyone.

Theon said, "Brother in black, I will beat you one day. I'm still young and I have time."

Arya smiled and said, "Theon, no matter how you practice, you will not be my black friend's opponent. Brother Cao, after having dinner, can you teach me the trick to take Robb's spear?"

"No problem." Will raised his glass at Arya.

Arya filled herself with a large glass of honey milk, and reached out to touch Will's glass: "Cheers!"

"Cheers!" Will raises his glass for Jon to come along.

So the three of them toasted together, all drank a drop of wine.

The captain of the guard, Jory Kelso, tore a large piece of beef into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Brother Cao, you are the Chosen, you can see the fragments of the future, so what about your own tomorrow, can you see it?"

"I can't." Will said.

"No." Erin laughed. "Master Ed said that you have begun to transform into an alien. Can you control the soul of a certain animal now? For example, a dog, or a-hehe --Caterpillar."

All the jazz chuckles, expressing contempt and mockery.

"I can't yet." Will is neither humble nor overbearing.

Desmond said slowly: "Brother Cao, you are going back to the Great Wall tomorrow. You are so good, can't you see in advance that your journey goes well?"

Will said: "My oracle fragments are not something I can see when I want to see them. They are all God’s will. I can only see what the old God wants to give me. The old God doesn’t give me anything. Invisible, just like ordinary people. God's will is unpredictable."

Erin said: "Brother Cao, you can be careful all the way, but there is a section of King's Avenue through the Wolf Forest. But you don't have to worry about the ice wolves now. Captain Jorry and the cavalry have searched both sides of King's Avenue, sure No other ice wolves were found. The one Bran and the others met was definitely a lone wolf."

"I'm not worried about the ice wolves." Will said.

"But you can't foresee your own tomorrow, right, man in black, then you are a false god, and you will never be an alien. You can at most be a pseudo alien." Theon said with a final word. Definitely, with firm eyes, then chew the bread hard.
