Viserys remembers this clearly. In the original book, Samwell discovered Horn in Fist of the First Men, and was packaged together with Dragonglass.
Now Dragonglass is still in place, but Horn has disappeared. At the same time, he can also be sure that there are no other Dragonglass weapons around. In this way, the possibility that the disappeared Horn is Horn of Winter becomes very high.
It was either as he thought just now and had been taken away in advance, or in the original work, someone would originally put Horn here together with these Dragonglass, but now because of his intervention, the other party has not had time to act.
And he is more inclined to the second possibility. As for the candidate, now the only one Beyond the Wall can do this under the nose of Cold God is Greenseer.
Horn of Winter is probably in his hands. After all, Greenseer has existed in Westeros for a long time, and even Beyond the Wall has been passed down for thousands of years. This possibility is very high.
As the sun sank to the west, the temperature in Fist of the First Men dropped suddenly and the wind became stronger. Daenerys stood beside the remains of the stone wall at the top of Fist Peak, wrapped his cloak tightly and looked at the boundless snowfield in the north.
Then her body suddenly tensed up and she said in a frightened voice, "Older Brother, look, there seems to be something moving over there, and it's coming in our direction."
Viserys followed the direction she pointed and found some gray-white black spots moving slowly on the snowfield north of Fist Peak, about half a mile away.
"Those are Wights." Viserys said without raising his head.
When they got closer, Daenerys could see their figures clearly. Their movements looked unnatural, as if their joints were frozen, and they took each step very slowly, leaving long traces on the snow.
She roughly counted about twenty of these Wights. They were wandering aimlessly, sometimes stopping as if they were smelling something, and sometimes they would suddenly change direction.
One of them, Wights, was very close to Fist Peak. Half of its body had rotted to the point of being reduced to a skeleton. The old leather armor hung on its body. It made a thin clicking sound from its mouth. It walked to the foot of Fist Peak Mountain and started climbing directly up the hillside.
Although Daenerys saw Wights with her own eyes for the first time, because of the courage given to her by Viserys and Dragon, she was not as scared as before, and just watched their every move intently.
"Older Brother, they seem to be looking for something." After a while, Daenerys came to a conclusion based on his own observations.
"They are just looking for living creatures." Viserys said, "Wights are all controlled by Others, but Others has not taken large-scale actions yet, so many of these Wights are just wandering around Lands of Always Winter, and will only be stimulated when they encounter living creatures."
"Will they really climb up?" Daenerys said.
"Yes, Wights doesn't feel tired or in pain. As long as he smells the scent of a living person, he will keep chasing him." Viserys said in a calm tone.
Then he took out the Blackfyre Sword from his waist, walked down the fist peak, and walked towards the Wights who was climbing up the mountain.
That Wights had already sensed the breath of a living person. It raised its head. There were no eyeballs in its empty eye sockets, only two groups of Flame that looked like they were glowing with blue light.
However, its mouth still opened towards the approaching Viserys, and it made a hissing sound like the ice was breaking. Viserys did not give it a chance to get closer, With a wave of Blackfyre Sword, Valyrian steel's sword blade cut directly through Wights's neck. The long-rotted head flew out and fell on the snow, rolling around a few times, and the body also fell into the snow.
Daenerys stood on the fist peak and watched this scene, and then looked at the Wights who were still wandering towards them in the snowfield below. When Viserys came back, she spoke and said, "Older Brother, will they gather more and more? Then should we leave here first."
Viserys said, "When Others starts to go south, they will turn every dead person they encounter into Wights. Beyond the Wall has thousands of years of tombs and countless dead people. As long as there is one Others, there will be more and more of these things."
He did not continue the topic, but looked at the sky. The sun had sunk below the horizon, the sky was getting darker quickly, and the wind was getting colder.
"It's getting dark, so we won't go back to Castle Black today." Viserys said, "Let's go to Caste's Castle to stay one night first, and then we'll check out other places tomorrow. This can save half of the traveling time. I still want to confirm my thoughts."
Viserys plans to go find Greenseer tomorrow. He is not sure whether the function of Horn of Winter is real. Whether Greenseer has Horn in his hand is also an unverifiable question.
But the relationship between him and Greenseer is indeed not very good. There is no trust between the two. Instead, there is always a thick layer of defense between them. What's more, Greenseer also knows that he knows about Bran. The existence of this secret makes their relationship even more subtle.
Now that Wall is heavily defended along the line, it is difficult for Bran to find opportunities to go out. If Greenseer cannot find a new successor, he may even directly choose to cooperate with Cold God.
Caste's Castle About a dozen leagues east of Fist of the First Men, it is one of the few buildings with a roof and walls in Beyond the Wall. It looks particularly abrupt in the endless snowfield.
Although the stones on the outer wall are somewhat loose over the years, it is still a rare shelter in a harsh environment like Beyond the Wall.
When Viserys and Benjen came here, Caste had been executed by Night's Watch under Benjen. His wives and daughters had also been sent to Mole's Town. The castle was later changed into Night's Watch's current northernmost outpost.
When Viserys they flew there, it was completely dark and there was still firelight in the castle, coming out from the gaps in the wall and the holes in the roof.
King Ghidorah landed directly on the open space outside the castle with three Dragon who set foot on Beyond the Wall for the first time. When their huge bodies touched the ground, the ground gave out a dull vibration, as if the entire snowfield trembled.
Night's Watch inside the castle immediately became alert, stopped what he was doing almost at the same time, and his body quickly tensed up.
Several Night's Watch Rangers on duty immediately rushed out from behind the low fence. They were holding Longsword in their hands, but some of them were holding Spear and bows, which were inlaid with polished sharp Dragonglass, which shone with a fine and cold luster under the firelight.
