Chapter 230 The Great Miracle
Leaving Winterfell, the north is the vast "wolf forest" and the last green land in the snow. To the north, there are harsh ice and snow. The annual farming time is no more than four months, so the harvest can only be maintained by potatoes, rye, rapeseed and broad beans. The place is sparsely populated, and several slightly larger settlements are mostly near the "Last Fireplace City".
To the north is the territory of the Night Watcher. In order to commend the Night Watcher's achievements in defending the Great Wall of Desperation for many years, the "City Builder" Brandon allocated the land more than 100 kilometers south of the Great Wall of Desperation to the Night Watcher for their supplies, which was "Brandon's land of gift". Later, Queen Alexand, the wife of the arbitrator King Jehris, doubled the land of gift, and then divided the same distance to the Night Watcher south to the Night Watcher, which was called the "New Gift Land".
But the Night Watcher is no longer the Night Watcher he used to be. Night King, White Walker, Night Shadow and other monsters are now just characters in horror stories and have not appeared for a long time. So their combat target has changed from "demons and ghosts" to "savages" to deal with the north.
Savages are also humans, they just happened to be born on the other side of the Great Wall of Desperation. The harsh environment gave them a more direct and barbaric culture. They could not pick them up, rob them if they could not grab them, and kill them if they could not grab them. The towering Great Wall of Desperation blocked their way to the warm place, but the night watchmen who lacked personnel could not take care of the entire line of defense.
There were only three of the nineteen castles along the Great Wall now, now there were only three of them, namely the second shadow tower in the west, the Black Castle in the center and the East Sea-Wang in the east, and the others were just places that they would go when patrolling and rotating. The savages sometimes seized the opportunity, climbed through the Great Wall of Desperate from undiscovered places, and then looted the land in the south. But they couldn't take anything back. At the same time, the knights in the north would attack, executing them all, and extinguishing the sneak attacks of the savages again and again. Therefore, the situation on both sides of the Great Wall of Desperate never changed, but the hatred became deeper and deeper.
Zhao Mai had no intention of intervening in the battle between the Night Watcher and the Savage. He just wanted to find the "Three-Eyed Crow" who lived in seclusion in the north as soon as possible, learn his skills, and then leave. But when he arrived at the Great Wall of Desperation, he found that things were not as simple as he imagined.
No one would miss this huge building that stretches 600 kilometers and is an average of more than 200 meters high. From a distance, Zhao Mai saw this amazing wonder. The ice-cast high wall shining like blue crystal will never melt, overlooking the earth like a giant, blocking the danger in the north with his broad and heavy chest, and also blocking Zhao Mai's way.
"Damn it, I should have thought that it's all magic here!" Zhao Mai stomped his feet hatefully and kicked the snow all over the sky. "Eagle Nest City used magic, and of course the Great Wall of Desperateness is the same! The city builder Bran, the son of the forest, and the giant, if he didn't use magic, how could he build the Great Wall of Desperateness?"
In the sensing of the natural force, the Great Wall of Desperateness is even more spectacular. Innumerable runes are densely packed with runes, and an invisible barrier rushes straight into the sky and goes deep into the ground. Its complexity is no less than that of the Eagle Nest City. It is better to watch from afar, but as long as you concentrate and carefully, you will be dizzy. The entire magic absorbs power from the vast northern border, and the entire "Brandon's Gift", which is a range of more than 100 kilometers, is providing power for this huge building.
Even if the northern border is barren, there is still no shortage of ice, snow and cold wind. The Great Wall of Desperateness is based on this force. The more severe it is, the stronger the Great Wall is. Zhao Mai drove to the Great Wall with the idea of a situation, but found that it could not be crossed at all, whether on the ground or underground. As soon as he approached, the Great Wall of Desperateness was resisting it, and even the solid body began to freeze. He hurriedly retreated and left this dangerous place.
What exactly is going on? Is it the same abnormality as the dragon in the Mingyue Mountains or should it be like this? Zhao Mai stopped the car and looked for clues from the information. Through the words in the information, he found that "Whitees cannot cross the Great Wall, and even if they are made by White Walkers, they cannot cross the Great Wall." Another sentence was said by Ban Yang Stark, who turned into an undead creature: "The Great Wall of Desperate Realm has a spell, and people like me cannot approach or pass through it."
If you dig deep in the information, you can find that there are several passages under the Great Wall of Desperity, protected by powerful runes, and only the Black Night Watcher can order them to open them. The "killer" Sam returned to the Black Castle from this way. If you continue to analyze the performance of the Great Wall of Desperity in actual combat, you can find that the savages can turn over from the Great Wall of Desperity, because they are also the bloodline of the ancestors and are not strange, but the giants are affected. In the siege, the King of Giants who entered the tunnel was successfully "died together" by six new recruits. No one saw the battle process, but this matter was infinitely strange, which may also be related to the fact that the King of Giants was not "invited to pass". Maybe he was like Zhao Mai's car, suppressed infinitely, or even directly crushed to death.
The only monster that passed through the Great Wall of Desperation was only a few night watchmen's corpses that later turned into corpses. If you think about that plot carefully, you can also find suspicious points: the night watchmen saw the horses returning from the northern desperate situation and the lodged corpses, so they "opened the tunnel door and let them come over", and then the corpse could reach Black Castle. In short, Zhao Mai's theory cannot be found in the whole book, and it can explain all related plots. Just think it is correct.
"So, I'm considered strange?" Zhao Mai thought for a moment. He was not a person from this world, and he didn't have the bloodline of "ancestors, Andals and Loy's people". He was indeed a monster in another world, so the wall stopped him from communicating. In other words, if he wanted to go to the opposite side, he needed the consent of the Night Watcher?
Maybe there is another way? Zhao Mai thought about it and thought of the Spear of the Heart. If it is magic or spiritual power, the Spear of the Heart can be suppressed and can also protect the holder from harm. Perhaps this ability can also be applied to the Great Wall of Desperate.
"Little Flower, I'll use the Spear of Heart." Zhao Mai reached in, his hands were empty for a long time. He looked into the car. The Spear was drooping its head, shrinking its petals, curling its leaves, twisting its stems, as if it was avoiding Zhao Mai's gaze. In the flower pot, the last piece of fragment of the Spear of Heart was left.
"What, I've eaten it all?" Zhao Mai said in surprise: "Can you eat the magic weapon? No, why are you eating it?"
The little flower quietly lifted a petal and whispered to Zhao Mai's heart: "I want to grow up..."
"Oh, then let's eat it." Zhao Mai looked at Xiaohua's embarrassed and ashamed look, so he had to comfort her and said, "I promised to give you Xinmu Spear, can you blame me?"
As soon as the words were finished, the little flower opened all its petals and slapped them in the flower pot, looking happy.
It seems that we can only go to the night watchman, and it should not be difficult to get them to agree, right? Zhao Mai doesn't want to run away in vain this adventure, so he always has to try this possibility.
