Three days later, Castle Black, the Witch's Magic Tower (formerly King's Tower).
Melisandre and Children of the Forest renovated the King's Tower and turned the extra empty rooms into laboratories and storage rooms.
Here they study Magic potions and Magic weapons, such as cat eye potions that can enable ordinary people to see at night, weirwood potions that can temporarily awaken Skinchanger descendants of First Men talents, Magic explosive bombs that can explode, various Dragonglass weapons, etc...
"Dong dong dong..."
Melisandre handed the potion in his hand to Xiaolu, turned around and opened the door, "Commander-in-Chief, what do you do for me?"
Jon handed her a roll of letter paper, "Winterfell's letter is for you."
Melisandre took the letter and did not open it in a hurry. Instead, he asked Jon, "Commander-in-Chief, how powerful is the explosive bomb?"
Jon often sends people to Haunted Forest to help Melisandre test some Magic weapons. "Well, it's very powerful. It can effectively burn Wights to death."
Melisandre first recorded it with satisfaction, and then complained, "Every time, you have to make us wait for several days to get the results. The efficiency is too slow, which seriously delays the progress of my experiment."
She saw Jon coming empty-handed again, "I need Wights for testing in the castle. Are you lazy, Commander-in-Chief? Why don't you have one!"
This is not the first time she has raised this issue, but Jon has never solved it.
Jon also has difficulties, "Melisandre Priest, Wall's foundation stone is engraved with Magic runes. As long as those Wights get close, they will break into a pile of bones. We have tried many methods, but we really can't bring them in."
Melisandre suggested. "You can capture Wights to the Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, and then use the boat to bypass the Wall."
Jon waved his hands repeatedly, "No, the journey is long, there are too many variables, and the risks are too great. I don't agree to do this."
Melisandre closed the door indifferently, "You boring brat."
She returned to the test bench and opened the letter in her palm. On it was the new task assigned to her by Lord God's Messenger.
Melisandre glanced at it a few times, then closed the letter and said, "Xiaolu, go back to your room to clean up and say goodbye, then follow me south tomorrow. Manlu, I will leave those unfinished experiments to you for the time being. Don't be impatient. If there are any problems, we can discuss them when we come back."
Winterfell, dungeon.
Gary took the Oath Keeper Sword and found Brienne who was imprisoned here.
He looked at this tall and burly woman with great interest, "Well, Brienne from Tarth, holding the Oathkeeper Sword of Jaime·Lannister... tell me, why did you come to the North?"
Brienne in the cell sat on the ground, looking up at King in the North, "I'm here to fulfill my oath to Mrs. Catelyn."
With white hair and heterochromatic eyes, he is definitely Luke·Stark. But why does his left hand look so scary? It doesn't look like a human hand, but like a monster's claw.
Gary pulled out the Oath Keeper Sword and looked at the sword body covered with black stripes but glowing with red light. He was amazed. Although the red reflection was only for aesthetics, this novel craft still interested him very much.
"If I remember correctly, your oath to Mrs. Catelyn was to bring back her two daughters. Now Arya has gone home on his own, but Sansa is missing. If you don't continue to look for Sansa, why did you come to Winterfell?"
Brienne stood up from the ground and patted the straw off his clothes, "Miss Sansa disappeared from King's Landing inexplicably after Tyrion was arrested and imprisoned. No one knew her whereabouts. I suspected that she would go back north to Winterfell, so she came to the North."
It sounds reasonable, and the series "Game of Thrones" is also performed in this way, so Gary no longer has too many doubts.
Brienne is an absolutely decent character. She is not a knight, but she is more like a knight than most of the knights in Westeros.
Keep her oath and never waver. Even if the object of her allegiance has died, she still fulfills her oath and is unswerving.
How can people not like such a female knight who seems to have stepped out of a fairy tale?
Gary returned the Oath Keeper Sword to Brienne and opened the cell door for her.
"Come out, Miss Brienne, you are free. You can stay in Winterfell and be loyal to Mrs. Catelyn's daughter Arya. You can also continue to search for the whereabouts of Sansa, or go home. I will not interfere with your choice..."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Brienne picked up the Oath Keeper Sword and looked at Gary's back, struggling internally. She was sure to sneak attack Gary and kill him with one sword, but the honor of the knight did not allow her to do the despicable act of sneak attacking her opponent.
She called out Gary, "Luke·Stark, I want to challenge you Trial by Combat."
Gary turned around and asked in shock, "Are you serious? Why? What grudge do I have against you?"
Brienne was about to draw his sword, "I am the deputy knight of Catelyn Tully. It was she who accused you of usurping the throne of Bran·Stark."
Gary found it extremely ridiculous and asked, "Mrs. Catelyn? I came back Westeros only after she died. May I ask why she was so uncertain? Greenseer... Oh, I understand. You saw the dead body."
Brienne Thinking of Mrs. Catelyn's current appearance, she indeed looks like a moving corpse. "Have you also seen Mrs. Catelyn? If she is unwilling to reconcile with you, we can only continue Trial by Combat to the death."
Gary crossed his arms over his chest and reminded seriously, "That thing is not Catelyn Tully, it is a puppet controlled by someone from behind. Her words do not represent Catelyn Tully, and you don't have to listen."
Brienne said nothing, still looking like he was about to draw his sword at any moment.
She doesn't care what Catelyn Tully becomes. Since she has sworn allegiance to Catelyn, she must obey Catelyn's orders.
Gary shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Okay, come with me."
Brienne quickly chased after him, "Where are you going?"
Gary stopped and turned around to explain, "Aren't you going to compete with me? The space in the dungeon is small, how can we spread out? Come with me Training Yard, that is the perfect place for the competition."
The two walked out of the dungeon one after another and came to the relatively empty Training Yard.
At this time, in Training Yard, Arya was holding a wooden gun and competing with Sandor, who was using a blunt training sword.
After these days of practice, Arya went from lying down for a second at the beginning, to struggling with a few moves, until now she is evenly matched. She has made rapid progress and has great signs of surpassing Sandor.
Gary clapped his hands and said, "Please give up the space so that I can stretch my muscles."
Arya put away his gun and stood up, asking in surprise, "Luke, do you want to practice marksmanship with me?"
Gary pinched Arya's face angrily, "It's enough to have Sandor and Ice warriors to practice with you. How can I have so much free time? This lady Brienne wants to duel with me. Please leave quickly."
