Daenerys seemed to understand. She gently pulled Viserys's sleeve and said in a very low voice, "Older Brother, since Others is looking for him, wouldn't it be a trap for the two of us to go there? And... will that Greenseer really help us?"

Viserys turned his head, looked at Daenerys's worried purple eyes, stretched out his hand to tidy up the somewhat scattered Silver-Haired Figure for her, and said in a slightly softer tone. "He won't take the initiative to help anyone, but he wants to survive, and now we need Horn, or at least confirm the whereabouts of Horn. This is a transaction and a game."

He paused, looked back at Davy, his eyes became sharp, and said, "Davy, the group of Wights you found on the edge of Haunted Forest, apart from wandering and blocking the intersection, did they show any other abnormalities? For example, are they protecting a specific entrance, or driving away other creatures close to the depths of the forest?"

Davy thought about it carefully, frowned, and spoke hesitantly, "What Your Majesty said does mean something. Before those Wightss dispersed, a group of Wildlingss tried to escape south through that area. As a result, they were discovered by the group of Wightss before they even got close to the edge of the forest."

"Those Wightss were not as aimless as usual. Instead, they surrounded them in a very organized manner, tore all the Wildlingss into pieces, and dragged their bodies directly into the depths of the forest. At the time, we thought they were Otherss eating, but now it seems more like they were trying to transform them."

Viserys began to mutter to himself, saying, "It seems that Greenseer's hiding place is still as hidden as in the original work, and there may even be some kind of Magic barrier.", even Others couldn't be found, so he could only wait on the periphery. If Bran hadn't been marked by Night's King in the original book, he might have hidden it for a while longer."

He stood up, walked to the fire, then turned to Davy and said, "Dany and I will rest here tonight. Tomorrow morning, I need you to give me a detailed map, marking the specific scope of the group of Wights's activities during this period, as well as all known dangerous areas and possible paths in Haunted Forest."

Davy immediately straightened his back and said in a respectful tone, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will let the best brother Night's Watch sort out the map. However, Your Majesty, do you... plan to take His Highness Princess alone? It is too dangerous there. Even if there is Dragon, it is not a wise move to go deep into Haunted Forest."

"Your Majesty, let me arrange for you two guides who are familiar with the terrain. You don't need a large team of people. They are very familiar with the terrain of Haunted Forest. With them leading the team, it will not be easy to disturb the things inside."

Viserys said in a calm tone, "No need, Dany and I will both ride Dragon by then. The people you arranged will only become a burden to us in the end."

Davy opened his mouth, as if he was still trying to persuade him to say something, but seeing the unquestionable look in Viserys's eyes, he finally swallowed his words.

He is the illegitimate son of Crownlands and Harford. He has his own channels to understand the south. He is well aware of the power of Dragon. He also understands that in the face of absolute power, the caution of an ordinary person like him may indeed seem a bit redundant.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Davy lowered his head and said without saying anything, "I will have someone prepare the map and deliver it to you before you set off tomorrow morning."

Viserys nodded slightly, indicating that he could leave. Davy bowed respectfully, then turned and left the hall to arrange the next matters.

As he left, the atmosphere in the hall became slightly more relaxed, but Night's Watchs still maintained an awe-inspiring silence. Their eyes glanced at the two Viseryss from time to time, as well as the huge black shadows they saw through the cracks in the door.

Daenerys pulled Viserys's hand and whispered, "Older Brother, do we really not bring anyone with us? If we really encounter any trouble, like Cold God you said, they can also..."

"Trouble?" Viserys smiled slightly and said, "If we really encounter trouble, they are just struggling like ants and can't help us."

"Furthermore, our primary goal is to find Greenseer, not to fight. Having them here will only slow us down. What's more, I don't want outsiders to know our specific arrangements, especially about the possible arrangements for Greenseer. The fewer people know, the better."

Daenerys nodded in understanding. Although she was still a little uneasy, her trust in Older Brother made her choose to obey.

Davy arranged a separate room for Viserys and the others to live in. This room happened to be the same room that Viserys stayed in Caste's Castle last time. It was completely different from Night's Watch's Datongpu.

Although the house is simple, there is a simple fireplace inside, and they also have thick blankets prepared by themselves. These are rare comforts for people who are running around Beyond the Wall.

Dragon stayed in the open space outside the castle. King Ghidorah's three heads were facing in three directions, as if they were keeping vigil for Viserys and others, guarding against possible dangers in the north.

Daenerys sat beside the bed, untied his cloak, and watched Viserys close the door.

"Older Brother, we have been searching for so long today, but we still haven't found the Horn." She said, "If Horn is not in the hands of Greenseer, where will it be?"

"It may be somewhere else, or it may not exist at all." Viserys sat down at the table and said softly, "What Winter Queen said, and in the legend of Westeros, the dragon is real, Others is real, but no one can say whether Horn of Winter is real."

He paused and continued, "But what I am more concerned about now is those Otherss. You also know today that they are wandering outside Walls in large numbers. Although the Otherss have not yet moved on a large scale, they are already preparing."

Viserys thought of the corpses of Wildlings that Davy mentioned that were dragged deep into the forest, and had a bad feeling in his heart. If Night's King had really locked the general position of Greenseer, then the defense there must be tighter than imagined.

"Go to sleep, Dany." He closed his eyes, hugged Daenerys and lay on the warm blanket, and said softly, "Tomorrow will be a long day."
