Quanyou: I loaded the Demon Hunter system

Chapter 266 The Wolf's Dream

The Great Wall is too cold.

thought Jon Snow.

When he came to the Great Wall of Despair, he didn't have the feeling he has now.

As a native of the North, who grew up in Winterfell.

Every cell in Jon Snow's body is used to being with the cold.

Although from his birth, that is, after the wrong spring, until his father Eddard Stark went south, the whole of Westeros was theoretically in summer.

But summer is also regional.

The summer in Dorne may heat people to death, but in the summer in the northern region, there will be something called "Xia Xue".

Yes, there is snow in summer in the North, Jon Snow has known since he was a child.

He chose to become a night watchman because the sense of honor in his heart called him, and one more thing, he knew very well.

Although his father, Ed Stark, who has returned to the embrace of the gods, is the Duke of Winterfell, and now he is besieged in Harrenhal, and Rob Stark, who is resolutely resisting with the remaining army in the north, is own brother.

But...he was always an illegitimate child who couldn't get on the stage.

It's the illegitimate child who can only be with soldiers for family dinners and can't sit on the long table.

Everyone despises him, and anyone with a little bit of fame is unwilling to befriend his illegitimate child.

It is an illegitimate child who is not worthy of having a family name and can only use the ubiquitous snowflake as his surname, which symbolizes humbleness and bitter cold.

Jon Snow understood.

Therefore, he chose to become a night watchman. At least here, few people use their surname as an issue.

We are all brothers who kneel before the weirwood and swear to the old and new gods that they will never fail each other.

Jon Snow desperately wanted to be respected, but in the entire Seven Kingdoms, the incomparably strict aristocratic system that could not be seen at a glance left him with no room to breathe.

Thus, the illegitimate son from the northern border came to the Great Wall and stayed for two years.

And now, he really felt the words spoken by the Stark family clan language:
"Winter is coming!"

After Clay led his troops out of the Great Wall to defeat the savage army in one fell swoop, there was a growing blizzard all over the Great Wall.

In the beginning, it was just an ordinary snowstorm up and down Castle Black, and the night watchmen could accept it. However, as time went by, the snowstorm didn't mean to weaken in the slightest, but intensified instead.

Jon Snow couldn't remember the last time he came north of the Great Wall from the gate of Castle Black. It was before Sam had a bad cold?Or was Eddie beaten for mocking Ser Alliser?
He can't remember it at all.

Because since a long time ago, his work every day has been to keep clearing the snow that has pressed down on the entire Castle Black.

That was the job of the Night's Watch, because too much snow would crush Castle Black's few functioning buildings and make the top of the Wall impassable.

If the snow accumulated for too long, from soft fresh snow to hard snow shell, by that time, the night watchmen would be trapped in Castle Black and lose contact with other fortresses.

Therefore, the night watchmen threw away the long swords in their hands, picked up the shovels and began to clear the snow.

However, no matter how diligently they cleaned the ground, the next morning, thick snow would still appear in front of their eyes, which was frustrating and hopeless.

After a while, no one will do this kind of thing that must be unrewarded.

For the longest period of time, the night watchmen did not see the sun for thirteen consecutive days.

In the end, even Lord Commander Mormont, who had given the order in the first place, gave up trying to clear the snow.

Everyone nestled in Castle Black, lit firewood, gathered together with dull eyes, listening to the cold wind whistling outside the window, no longer interested in talking or training.

Commander Mormont realized that something was wrong, so he immediately used the best-trained raven to contact Winterfell, hoping that Winterfell would send someone to support Castle Black.

But Catelyn Tully, who was in a trance every day because her son Bran Stark was completely unconscious, ignored the letter at all, and just handed it to Maester Luwin, indicating that he refused.

There is no longer a single soldier in the North that can be moved north, and Catelyn Tully and Maester Luwin know that.

Therefore, they can only do nothing to help.

……

Although there are endless blizzards, it is obvious that the night is much more difficult than the day.

The sunlight still stubbornly transports its meager heat to the ground, allowing humans to move a little bit, but at night, no one dares to release themselves outdoors.

Unless he doesn't want a part of himself anymore.

Jon Snow, staying at the bottom of the conning tower, made a rough bed by the fireplace, covered with a thick, dead animal skin blanket, curled up in a ball on the cold as iron sheet.

Every night is a torment for him, because the current temperature makes it impossible for him to fall asleep smoothly.

But today seemed to be an exception. Amidst the slight trembling of his body, Jon Snow quickly fell into a deep sleep.

……

"Where am I?"

Sitting up suddenly from the snow, Jon Snow wiped away the snow scum on his face with his right hand wearing a black glove.

He subconsciously touched the dagger at his waist, but found nothing.

He found himself sitting on the endless snow field, in front of him was a large black forest.

This must be the Haunted Forest, Jon Snow was sure.

For a qualified night watchman ranger, the Haunted Forest is even more familiar to them than the Great Wall.

After all, he had to deal with this forest every day.

He shook his head, which was covered with short black hair, so that the snow on it would not melt and flow onto his scalp, which would make him catch a cold easily.

The night watchmen who have lived on the Great Wall all year round know this, and this was told to him by his uncle Banyan Stark.

He couldn't remember why he was here at all.

Looking back, the towering Great Wall of Ice was right behind him.

Jon Snow was surprised to find that the blizzard that had become a part of his life had disappeared, and the orange-red sun was shining on him, bringing him a long-lost warm feeling.

Although this is just his delusion.

He didn't know how he got here, but he had a vague feeling about what to do.

He wants to find his ghost.

That pure white direwolf.

So, following the feeling in his heart, Jon Snow walked towards the location of the Haunted Forest.

He was unarmed, but how could the Night's Watch be without a sharp weapon?

So he broke off a sentinel tree, the bare branch, and cut off all the twigs on a sharp stone.

Jon Snow had a simple stick in his hand, which made him feel a little comforted.

Relying on the Impassable Great Wall behind him as a reference, he vaguely felt that he was really heading northwest.

The light leather boots made a crunching sound when stepping on the soft snow.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jon Snow realized that he had lost his sense of direction and time.

But it doesn't matter, I don't know why, he is very clear about what he is here for and his destination.

Sure enough, in the next second, he saw a vivid white shadow in the black ghost forest.

"Bai Ling!"

cried Jon Snow.

It was his wolf, that's right!
he thinks.

But I don't know why the docile direwolf in the past, after hearing his call this time, just stopped and looked back at him, and then continued to run northwest without looking back.

Jon Snow didn't know what was going on, he knew that his own wolf had to keep up with him.

So, holding a short stick, he looked back at the shadowy Great Wall behind him for the last time, and then chased after his own wolf.

The white direwolf seemed to understand that there was no way to compare his master's speed with his own, so its speed was not considered fast, and it had always maintained a speed that Jon Snow could keep up with.

One wolf and one person, after chasing them in the black woods for an unknown period of time, they will not feel tired.

Finally, Jon Snow saw his wolf and stopped in front of a small hill that suddenly appeared.

Then, at the bottom of the mountain, a cave entrance about half the height of a person lingered.

The scarlet eyes of the white direwolf reflected his master's appearance, and there was a humanized anxious look inside.

It's a pity that Jon Snow doesn't have such good eyesight, he can't see this clearly.

When he saw the naughty direwolf finally stop running, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought in my heart that I must take my own wolf back to the Great Wall and lock it up, um... starve it, and see if it still runs around in the future.

He arrived in front of the familiar direwolf in three steps at a time, and put the short stick in his belt in his belt. Jon Snow just wanted to lean down and rub the guy's furry head.

However, the always obedient direwolf clung to his gauntlet without any effort, but kept pulling back, as if he wanted to take Jon Snow somewhere.

He was a little dumbfounded, his wolf had never been like this before.

Jon Snow has always felt that his white wolf was the most spiritual among the few wolves in the Stark family.

When he saw his own wolf, biting his own hand and exerting force on his four legs, he knew what it meant.

So, he raised his head and looked at the cave in front of him with puzzled eyes. It is estimated that only "little devil" Tyrion could stand and walk into the cave.

"Do you want me to go in?"

Jon Snow looked at his wolf and asked.

It was his own wolf who answered him, nodding very seriously.

For some reason, Jon Snow didn't think there was anything wrong with this action that only humans could make.

Glancing at the direwolf who wouldn't give up unless he went in, Jon Snow smiled helplessly, and his curiosity was satisfied.

From this dark cave, for no reason, there is a faint smell of fresh grass and trees.

Jon Snow didn't know if he really smelled it, but that's how it felt anyway.

He lowered his body and climbed into the cave with his head down.

It was strange, from the outside, the inside seemed to be a place where you couldn't see your fingers. However, when Jon Snow came in, he realized that the inside was not dark.

The faint glimmer of light emanates from a strange bulb-shaped plant on the wall, like candles that are not very bright.

The road below him, at the beginning, was the cold stone wall that Jon Snow knew and hated, but now, he felt like he was climbing up and down the branches of a big tree.

The strange scent became stronger and stronger, and Jon Snow felt that he was always climbing down.

Where will it be ahead?

he was asking himself.
