The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Early in the morning, the kitchen restaurant.

Will appeared at the door of the restaurant.

Everyone saw him neatly dressed, looking like he was about to turn back to the Great Wall.

His left and right hands were wrapped with hand-wrapped cloth, carefully and professionally, only a few fingers were exposed. This is for the need to draw swords or do things without hindrance.

Although it is summer, the weather is still very cold, and there is snow on the grass outside the winter city. The further you go north, the lower the temperature. As a night watchman, because of the special environment, I have developed a habit of getting hands-on.

If you hold a sword with your bare hands in the Great Wall of Extremis, such as at night or outside the Great Wall of Extremis, your hands will freeze with the hilt and connect the skin and flesh, so the hilt will be wrapped with coarse cloth to increase friction Convenient to hold the sword tightly, and also keep out the cold. And when you are injured, you don’t have to worry about freezing your hands and plasma with the hilt.

The temperature is low, and hand-wraps are very important in contact with cold weapons like swords. Especially in the extremely cold places such as the Fist Peak and Fang of Frost and Snow, the spit will freeze before landing. Holding a metal sword with bare hands or holding a bow with bare hands is suicidal.

Of course it is a jazz enlisted in the army, or a knight with a fief. Because these people in black are rich, they will have special deerskin gloves and other thin and warm high-quality goods, but Will Cao uses He can't afford a deerskin collar, mole gloves, wolf fur cloak, mink fur coat, and bobcat leather boots. He wears traditional black clothes and a handy hand strap to keep out the cold on this side of the Great Wall.

Will not only wrapped his hands, but also wrapped the hilt.

His Dark Night sword hilt is made of Valyrian steel, and it is exquisitely carved. It looks like the best among the top grades. If you don't entangle the hilt, it will attract everyone's attention.

The reason why he tangled hands is actually for this reason. Just wrapping the hilt and not the hands, it will look a bit abrupt.

Night watchmen have the habit of tangling hands and sword hilts.

Ed and Caitlin are already seated.

The other jazz and supervisors are also sitting.

Will seated, Arya passed a glass of steaming milk across the table. The little girl's smile was sweet, but everyone only noticed the wildness in her eyes: "Will, are you going back to the Great Wall?"

Will smiled: "Yes, the letter crows of the Great Wall have arrived early this morning, and it's time to leave. Arya, my kid, did you learn how to walk with your hands before I was drunk yesterday?"

"Learned."

"How many steps can you walk now?"

"Can take ten steps."

"Very well, when you can walk from one end of the castle to the other with both hands, I suggest you start learning epee."

"Why, my girl doesn't learn the epee, I can't even use the epee."

"The purpose of learning the epee is to lay the foundation for learning the narrow sword. The epee can increase the strength of your arms. If you practice the epee and change to the narrow sword, you will find that swordsmanship is just dancing, flying beautiful dances. You will soon be able to Learn the subtle swordsmanship of the narrow sword without using any brute force. These swordsmanships are brute force." Will drank the hot milk.

Sir Rodelick, the coach next to him, suddenly blushed.

Soldiers, riders, and knights in the north all like to use broad swords. Their techniques are mainly slashing, opening and closing, and powerful and domineering. With the sword in their hands, it is no different from a machete.

The only difference is that the machete cannot use stabbing techniques.

"You are tired of learning the epee, how should you rest? Just play hide and seek with your own Namelia. If you can catch Namelia's tail while tracking and running, other people's swords can't catch you. , But if your sword wants to catch them, it's easy." Will said with a smile, as if there were no knights and guards proficient in swordsmanship around him.

Jon's eyes drifted, turning around the faces of the supervisor, the Jazz, Lord Ed, Lady Caitlin, and the two captains of guards, Jory and Erin, while eating his own food.

Theon Greyjoy snorted heavily, and immediately felt the pain of the scar on his face, and he twisted his face.

Caitlin said, "Will, how do you know that the letter crow has sent back news?"

Will smiled: "Madam, I believe in the old gods. I went to pray under the heart tree early this morning. It was the inspiration that the heart tree told me."

Caitlin did not believe Will's words: "Bachelor Ruwin, did you tell Will?"

"No, ma'am."

Caitlin looked at Ed. No one had mentioned the letter crow to Will. How did he know? Prepared to return to the Great Wall early in the morning.

Ed said, "Everyone, eat. —Will, you need anything on the way, just say."

From Winterfell to the Great Wall of Immortality, a place of thousands of miles, public security is good, that is, you must be careful when you pass through the Wolf Forest on King's Avenue. In addition to the wolf forest road for hundreds of miles, there are bears, wild boars, and shadow boars. Every beast is deadly.

"Master Ed, food, I need food, beef, mutton bread, honey milk, and of course wine. Master Ed, if you would send a team of cavalry to **** me into the wolf forest, I will be very grateful."

Entering the wolf forest from Winterfell, there is a section of mountain climbing road, which is very hard and takes several days.

Jory raised his hand: "My lord, I am willing to **** Brother Will into the wolf forest."

Ed nodded: "Brother Will, I will send someone to prepare food for you, and after you set off, I will send the letter crow to Commander-in-Chief Mormont, and ask him to send a ranger to pick you up in Hearth City."

In the final analysis, Ed is afraid that Will will run away alone. If Commander-in-Chief Mormont is notified, Commander-in-Chief Mormont will have a letter crow to report the news in half a month. Even if Will escapes, Ed I will know in half a month that Will will not be able to escape from the North. At that time, even if Will was a prophet, he would be caught and beheaded by the knights in the north.

Will shrugged: "Master Ed, you never want to believe in the honor of a Ranger."

"Perhaps the honor of a thief." Theon Greyjoy said with a chuckle. He finally took the opportunity to stab Will. His thin, small eyes were full of mockery.

Will smiled slightly, not in line with Theon's general knowledge.

"Will, who did you learn your swordsmanship from?" Arya's words are the most on the table. And Sansa didn't say a word, eating her own things gracefully.

"I have learned swords from many people, including the swordsmen of Bravos across the narrow sea who taught me how to use swords. Bravoss are more than swordsmen, and almost always use narrow swords."

"Why?" Arya's eyes sparkled. She is full of curiosity about the outside world.

"The Braavos are small and weak, so they never use brute force. They have many top free swordsmen wandering in the major kingdoms. These swordsmen are hard to have opponents outside. Their swordsmanship is called Water dance."

Arya was fascinated: "Dad, I want to hire the best Braavos swordsman instructor to teach me the dance of water."

"Okay, promise you." Ed decided to let Arya practice martial arts, and he would not break his promise.

Will smiled, he achieved his goal!

If Arya is learning the dance of water now, when she and her father go to King's Landing, if history does not change, she has been learning the dance of water for more than a year when Master Ed's accident. The two months on the road from Winterfell to King's Landing will also be a precious time for Arya to practice the dance of water.

Many of Braavos' wandering swordsmen are also first-rate killers. They value honor and are loyal to their masters.

Will has been around for twenty years and has learned epee, broad sword, and spear riding. By chance, he also learned the dance of water.

The most powerful swordsman and killer on all continents are none other than Braavos.
