Chapter 644

"This wooden bow was used by Lyanna for practice when she was a child, do you remember?"

In the dark cellar of Winterfell, the dim firelight swayed gently and shone on the bluestone statue. Lyanna Stark was still in that sympathetic look, with her hands up and looking up at the sky.

But in fact, this statue is not like Lyanna at all. Eddard wanted to build a statue of a bow and arrow for his sister, but in the end he obeyed the persuasion of Maester Luwin and made Lyanna's statue like this.

"Remember."

"This is Lyanna's practice bow, which she used to compete with me."

And Bunyan looked at the small wooden bow in his brother's hand, and the place where he was holding it had been polished smooth. This was the result of his sister's practice day and night at that time. There was no talent and intelligence, and some were only hardworking. practise.

Even when Bunyan couldn't beat his sister, he cried and was laughed at for a long time.

"This bow was placed in the warehouse at Winterfell after Lyanna's death."

"Even after that, I couldn't even find where to put it."

Ed's black-brown hair was mixed with a little gray, and his neatly trimmed beard was also gray, and the gray pupils were covered with crow's feet.

He looked at the small wooden bow in his hand, then raised his head and asked in a low voice.

"Later it appeared in Carlin Bay, thousands of miles away."

"Bunyan, do you think Lyanna put it there?"

On the other hand, with a torch in his hand, Ban Yang, who was thin and half of his cheeks were illuminated by the flames, frowned slightly when he heard the words, and thought carefully about the possibility of what his brother said.

"But she might also be manipulated by the Night King?"

The White Walkers can control the rest of the ghouls, and the Night King can control all the White Walkers, which I've seen many times in previous battles with the White Walkers.

Humans are very good at learning creatures, so humans are constantly learning from the experience of fighting the White Walkers, looking for possible weaknesses in the White Walkers, and then using them.

In the end, they came to the conclusion that the entire army of the dead and the core power of the White Walkers were in the hands of the Night King, and if the Night King was killed, the entire army of the dead could be defeated.

But unfortunately. If you want to defeat the Night King, you must first defeat the endless army of dead people surrounding him.

So the problem is back to square one.

This is also the reason why the White Walkers went south like a broken bamboo. Humans paid a great price but could not find a way to defeat the Night King.

Unless the Night King had a problem with his own mind, gave up the protection of the ghouls around him, and rushed out alone to take the lead.

At this time, the Terran side ambushed a master who was proficient in assassination, holding a Valyrian steel dagger, and then hit it with one blow, becoming a hero who saved the world.

This possibility is not impossible, but the difficulty is that the Night King needs to cooperate by himself.

And according to the results of the last time Viserys and the Night King had a one-on-one duel, the other party was very reluctant to take his life, and he took the initiative to retreat after a little trouble.

"But the meaning of the wooden bow, only Lyanna and I and you know."

Eddard Stark was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and then said abruptly.

"Father doesn't know, Brandon doesn't know, Caitlin doesn't know either."

Bun Yang was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.

The significance of this wooden bow is indeed only known to the three brothers and sisters of the Stark family, and even the elder brother Brandon is not very clear.

Because the eldest brother Brandon, as the heir of Winterfell, was always busy with other things at that time, while the three brothers and sisters ran out to play by themselves.

So this small wooden bow was brought thousands of miles from Winterfell to Carlin Bay, and it is indeed possible that Lyanna did it.

Because although Lyanna's name is engraved on it, no one but herself knows the meaning contained in it.

"Is it true?"

"Lyanna is still conscious now?"

After thinking about all this, Bunyan's expression suddenly became a little excited. After all, he stayed at Winterfell during the Usurper War. After the war, he went to serve at the Great Wall of Despair. He didn't have time to see his sister Lyanna for the last time. It has been his lifelong regret.

"So, father, big brother, isn't it?"

The cellar of Winterfell collapsed, and the kings of winter, the kings of the north, and the dukes of Winterfell all woke up. Their father Rickard and elder brother Brandon were also among them. Wyman Mann, Earl of Whiteport Lord Dele once claimed to have seen Rickard Stark with his own eyes, but at that time he was sneered at by the high-ranking coalition forces as a nonsense.

But if it looks like this, isn't it a good thing that becoming a White Walker can restore his consciousness?

"It can't be confirmed yet."

Compared with Bunyan's excitement, Ed's face was calm and calm, so since he got this little wooden bow, Ed began to think about it over and over again, and even couldn't sleep at night, and finally secretly felt in his heart A decision was made.

"I'm going to take a trip out of the Great Wall myself, Bunyan."

"what?"

And Bunyan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react, and then Eddard Stark just paused for a moment, and then suddenly said amazingly.

"I want to follow Lyanna's trail and investigate this matter."

Ed has been thinking about the whole thing over and over for several months, and finally made up his mind.

After recovering the Great Wall, he will fulfill the mission of the Night's Watch Legion, alone, one person, one horse and one sword, to track the trail and lair of the White Walkers north of the Great Wall, and investigate what happened to Lyanna.

If this matter can't be solved, it will almost become a knot in his heart.

After all, it was about his father, brother, and sister. Eddard Stark kept his honor and protected his family all his life, but by this time he had put on black, and Winterfell had been entrusted to Robb. Decided to live for myself.

Just like his and Robert's two teenagers' dreams, the two brothers rode their war horses and walked down the King's Road, walking around the world with swords, and never returning.

"No! Ed!"

However, Ed's decision was met with strong opposition from his brother Bunyan.

He had lived alone outside the Great Wall as Chief Ranger for a period of time that was almost a near-death.

Every day during the day to find food, and at night to find a place to sleep, so as not to be bitten off the throat by the wolf.

At the same time, whether it is day or night, it is necessary to guard against an enemy that is even more terrifying than the wild wolf, that is, the wild man.

However, while there are no wildlings outside the Wall, there are even more terrifying White Walkers.

His brother Ed wanted to track the White Walkers alone, wouldn't he die?

"If you have to go outside the Great Wall, it's better for me to come instead!"
