Chapter 683 The Land of Eternal Winter

The vast white wind and snow shrouded the earth, and the sun above his head had disappeared for a long time.

"If I hadn't been a ghoul now, I might have frozen to death long ago."

Bunyan rode on the skeleton horse and followed behind the white-haired White Walk not far away, thinking so silently in his heart.

He'd been walking with this White Walker for an inexplicable amount of time, a day? two days? Still three days.

He had already forgotten that perhaps his mind had become much duller after becoming a ghoul, and perhaps the monotonous world full of whiteness could easily make people stupid.

Fortunately, there is still a belief in his heart, and there is a goal in front of him.

Thinking of this, Benjen Stark slightly boosted his energy, and then continued to openly follow behind the White Walker.

In fact, Bunyan was very nervous when he first encountered this White Walker. After all, the other party was a legendary monster, and he was still thinking of a human at that time.

However, when the White Walker turned his head to look at Bunyan, but turned a blind eye to him, Bunyan's thinking changed.

Only then did he fully realize the change in his identity, and he is now a dead person.

The White Walkers didn't treat him as a human, because there was no life in his body, and the other party didn't expose his "trick".

And Bunyan realized something after he came back to his senses, and hurriedly urged the skeleton horse under his crotch to follow.

If he wanted to find his sister Lyanna Stark, he couldn't be like a headless fly circling back and forth in the huge ice field.

He must have a clear target, and the White Walker in front of him is the target he wants to follow. As long as he follows behind him, he will one day meet his sister, and even the Night King.

Think about it here.

The tall figure in the snow outside Winterfell flashed in Bunyan's mind. His heart was a little low, and then he couldn't help but slightly touched the bulging part of his waist.

Since he was alone outside the Great Wall, Bunyan was well prepared.

He carried an obsidian dagger hidden in his waist, although he hadn't tried it himself, it was said to kill the White Walkers.

Bunyan wouldn't mind sacrificing himself to be a hero if he could.

Of course, the premise is to find his sister Lyanna, and to be able to get close to the Night King without revealing anything.

"The eyes of the ice dragon."

Then, after an unknown amount of time, the sky gradually darkened, and the icy wind and snow stopped for a while, and Bunyan was able to raise his head and see the sky above him.

The sky here is extremely clear, and a winding ice dragon hangs in the sky with its teeth and claws.

Its eyes are an ice-blue planet, pointing straight to the north, while the tail of the ice dragon hanging across the sky is to the south.

People in the North and even outside the Great Wall have such a habit of raising their heads to look at the sky when traveling at night, and using the eyes and tail of the Ice Dragon to identify their own direction.

Immediately, the black knight on horseback turned his head and looked forward.

The sky there is not dim, and even faintly flashes with gorgeous colors, like a five-color stone falling into the mortal world, full of mystery and unknown.

"it's beautiful."

He knew that he was heading north, but the map in his arms at the moment could no longer describe the location he had traveled to. There was a large unknown blank on the map compiled by the night watchmen of all dynasties.

Because no one has ever traveled here.

Most had died on the way or halfway through, and he was the first in thousands of years of the Night's Watch.

There is only one descriptive name here.

It is called the Land of Eternal Winter, the forbidden zone of life.

Bunyan followed behind the White Walkers into the Land of Eternal Winter, where the extreme cold was a forbidden zone for life, and based on this, extremely far south, rebuilt the core capital of the Valyrian Empire, King's Landing.

It is warm and peaceful, prosperous and lively, and it is impossible to imagine that the place where Bunyan is located is the same continent and the same world.

The decision to rebuild Valyria was spread all over the world through ravens and messengers, and now all the upper and lower Westeros, even Pantos and Andalus have recognized this country name, and gradually the official documents of the municipality use the Valyrian Empire's name. drafted in name.

And the rebuilding of the Valyrian Empire, which is different from the previous Free Fortress system was changed to the Empire System, and the huge empire naturally needs a capital.

Such a problem was not obvious when Viserys was firmly on the Iron Throne and ruled the Seven Kingdoms, but when it was restructured into an empire, this problem emerged and became an urgent problem to be solved.

In the end, after several rounds of important resolutions, the important ministers from the Westeros continent in Viserys' Imperial Council finally had the numerical advantage, and the two sides fought hard.

The final result still exists in the two capitals of the imperial capital and the vice capital. The political core of the Valyrian Empire is King's Landing, and Pentos, the economic center, has become the vice capital.

It's just that the administrative level of the deputy capital is half a level lower than that of the political core, but it is still higher than other towns and administrative blocks.

King's Landing is greater than Pentos greater than North, Riverlands, Stormlands, etc. = Oldtown, Seagull, Lannisport, etc.

Of course all this happened before Viserys left King's Landing, but the news didn't fly as fast as the dragon's wings, and it hadn't reached Dorne yet.

However, His Majesty the Emperor returned from Dorne on a dragon and brought back the corpse of the former Prime Minister, Jon Clinton, which caused an uproar in King's Landing.

People were talking about Dorne's audacity, speculating whether a larger war would break out in the future. His Majesty the Emperor was angry and led his eight dragons to burn every inch of Dorne's land.

There are even those with bad intentions secretly speculating whether His Majesty will abolish his Queen of Dorne because of this, and entrust the church to dissolve the sacred marriage contract.

Or disarm Oberyn and drive the supremely noble Prince of Dorne back to his home, where Oberyn's legions are now defending the capital.

Although Oberyn's legions were stationed in the Kingswood, they could not come to the city in an instant, and the walls of King's Landing were high, and there were thousands of elite Unsullied legions in the city and the capital guards commanded by 'Sir Blackfish' Brynden Tully Team guard.

But in the current political climate, the use of a Prince of Dorne to guard the capital of the Empire is more or less uncomfortable.

At the same time, the former Prime Minister was killed on the battlefield, and the candidate for the next Prime Minister of the Royal Army has also become the focus of attention of all parties.
