Jojen Reed's father, Howland Reed, was one of the few close friends of Eddard·Stark.
During War of the Usurper, he and Eddard fought side by side in blood, life and death.
After the war ended, he accompanied Eddard to Tower of Joy to rescue Lyanna·Stark.
In the end, only two people survived that tragic decisive battle. Eddard mentioned countless times that it was Holland Reed who desperately saved his life from Arthur Dayne's sword.
It is precisely because of this fateful friendship that House Reed and House Stark are deeply bound. Eddard has always had great trust and respect for Holland Reed.
Jojen Reed had a difficult life since he was a child. He contracted the fatal gray water fever when he was young and was in critical condition. There was almost no way he could save himself.
At the last moment when his life was cut off, Three-Eyed Crow, who was far away from Beyond the Wall, rescued him and gave him a unique talent, Greensight.
Since then, the boy has often been haunted by various bizarre and precognitive dreams. These illusions, named "Green Dream", have fateful and prophetic properties.
Day after day, he was subtly pulling him towards a predetermined destiny trajectory.
Tonight, Jojen Reed fell into the familiar green dreamland again.
But in the second half of the night, the entire illusion suddenly changed dramatically.
Countless bats appeared out of thin air, their dark wings covering the world of dreams.
Bats are an animal that never appears in Jojen Reed's precognitive dreams.
For a long time, his dreams have always revolved around wolves, crows and green vines, symbolizing the power of Westeros.
But at this moment, countless ferocious bats tore apart everything in the illusion!
Even the huge dragon was devoured by the swarming bats in an instant, leaving only a cold and hollow skeleton.
After destroying everything, bats all over the sky flapped their wings and flew north, crossing the border of the Neck Swamp and galloping towards the northern land at full speed.
Jojen Reed suddenly woke up from his dream.
There was no trace of youthful vitality in those emerald green eyes, only a dead silence.
Although Jojen Reed is still young, his mind is already very mature.
It has to be said that Three-Eyed Crow has done a great job.
The spiritual indoctrination day after day, year after year, completely solidified his understanding, making him firmly believe that everything Green Dream foreshadowed was an irreversible future.
Even adults with a strong mind would find it difficult to bear the weight of this fate if they knew the time and manner of their death in advance, let alone a child who has not yet grown up.
Long-term mental erosion has already worn away all his expectations for future life.
After a brief period of contemplation, Jojen Reed lay back on the bed silently, with nothing but indifference in his heart.
He thought:
"The fate has already been decided. Even if we can see the outcome in advance, so what? After all, we can't change it."
Three-Eyed Crow Unexpectedly, the guide I trained was so thorough.
His mind has completely surrendered to fate, and he has no attachment to anything in reality. He just waits for the time to arrive and moves forward steadily along the established path of destiny.
But Three-Eyed Crow is not in a hurry.
If he could wash Jojen Reed's mind once, he could wash it a second or third time.
He has many years of patient planning.
Now all he needs to do is slowly establish his obsession and let Jojen Reed completely believe that the sudden group of bats is the source of the catastrophe that will overturn the peace of Seven Kingdoms
When the time is right, he will guide Jojen Reed to tell Eddard·Stark about this strange dream.
There is no need to guide Eddard·Stark to destroy the He An family, just plant a seed in their hearts.
The soul in his body no longer knows how many years have passed and how many bodies he has changed. It is just a few years of waiting!
He can totally afford it!
Compared to the heaviness of Jojen Reed, Davion is a lot lighter.
He slept peacefully all night and slept until dawn.
In the eyes of Davion, Three-Eyed Crow is ultimately just the withered bones trapped in the graves of the past.
If this Greenseer really had the top strength to shake the world, he would not be hunted down by Night's King and run away all over the world.
Therefore, in his opinion, Three-Eyed Crow is not even qualified to become a long-term threat to him!
The real crisis that can overturn the world has always been Night's King and the White Walkers in the north.
But these are too far away and there is no need to worry about them now.
His most important thing at the moment is to clean up the restless neighbors around him. The first to bear the brunt is House Leygood!
At noon, Harrenhal Hall of a Hundred Hearths.
Davion sat at the main seat and enjoyed lunch calmly.
Nowadays, life is no longer what it used to be.
In the past, when we were in a tight situation, we only had two meals a day. How could we have lunch?
Under the hall, Kalen·Vance knelt on his knees with an extremely respectful attitude.
Viri Wode stood aside, waiting for orders with a serious expression.
"My lord, I will obey your order and have assembled ten cavalry and twenty infantry, waiting for your order!"
After the words fell, Kalen·Vance kowtowed to the ground, not daring to get up. He pressed his forehead against the stone floor, waiting for Davion's instructions.
Kalen·Vance was really psychologically affected by Davion.
Over the past month, he had nightmares almost every night, worrying all the time that he would be killed by this Harrenhal Earl.
This morning when he saw Willy Wode coming to summon him, he almost peed in fear!
But after learning that Davion was recruiting House Vance to fight with the army, Karyl Vance instantly turned from surprise to joy.
Being able to be recruited proves that he is still valuable and proves that Davion will not take his life for the time being.
This means that he doesn't have to die so quickly.
Davion glanced at him lightly and said nothing, still lowering his head and eating the steak slowly.
A full minute of silent stalemate made Kalen·Vance, who was kneeling on the ground, covered with cold sweat on his back, and his mind was extremely tense.
After finishing the steak, Davion picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth before speaking slowly:
"Thank you, Mr. Kalen."
Kalen, as if granted amnesty, pressed his forehead to the ground again:
"Your Majesty, please be polite and serve your Majesty. This is what subordinates should do!"
Davion raised his hand to signal the maid to come forward. After rinsing his mouth, he drank another glass of ale and then waved away all the attendants.
"Get up."
"Thank you, sir!"
Karyl Vance puts his forehead to the ground again!
Then he stood up quickly, took two respectful steps back, and stood next to Weili Wode, with a very humble attitude!
Seeing Karyl Vance's tame and submissive appearance, Davion was very satisfied, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"The target of this expedition is House Leygood in Liumu City."
"During the operation, Viri·Ser Ward has full command, and Kalen·Vance assists from the side.
It is not convenient for me to appear in public these days, so I will accompany the infantry."
"Try to lure the Legg family out of the castle, and then wait for an opportunity to attack."
"The purpose of this battle is very simple, to hurt and scare Laig, and to seek justice for my Harrenhal subjects."
"So don't be merciful! You and your subordinates should explain it!"
"Master Earl loves the people like a son and is considerate of his subjects. His subordinates admire him greatly!"
Karyl Vance never misses any opportunity to please Davion, and starts to flatter Davion at every opportunity.
Davion waved his hand casually, too lazy to listen to these flattering words:
"It's getting late! Get ready and leave immediately!"
