With a reputation of 70,000, one leader travels across countless worlds with his adventure team.
Chapter 23 The Winterfell Conference is held, and a message is sent to Daenerys.
Bai Ze stared wide-eyed at the three tasks that popped up and the epic quest that shimmered with gold behind them, unlocking the +10 level puppet crafting right. This was somewhat useful, around level 35 (I'm currently level 29, and before killing the Ice Spear White Walker I was almost level 27, the level 30 Ice Spear White Walker gave me one and a half levels of experience).
Once you level up another level, you'll be able to create dolls below level 40. Several gunner and healer classes are great helpers in team battles, which will be very useful when fighting the White Walker army.
Unlock pets! That's great! I wonder if I can tame other world-specific species as pets, and maybe find a big one to ride! Unlocking auxiliary equipment slots is a bit underwhelming compared to the rewards of the other two quests.
The final epic quest is absolutely fantastic! Once you reach the required reputation, you unlock the ability to choose one adventurer character! This is amazing! So many powerful and beloved adventurer characters—it's even better now! Plus, summoned characters can use the inventory! Ingenious!
It seems I need to persuade Robert on this trip south. If he's still so hot-tempered, how will Daenerys accomplish her mission?
After checking the task, Bai Ze excitedly hugged Xiao Meng and lay down on the bed, showering her with kisses (づ ̄3 ̄)づ, Mumu Mumu!!
Xiao Meng was confused by Bai Ze's actions, and holding Bai Ze in her arms, she quickly asked:
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Why are you so happy!"
Bai Ze, pressing down on Xiao Meng, looked at her and said:
"Finally, a new quest! Four at once! If we can complete them all, we can invite our adventurers to travel the world with us!"
"That's great! Right now, I'm the only one helping you every day, and sometimes I'm too busy to handle everything at the tavern. It would be best to find a few people to share my tasks so I can spend more time with you!" Xiao Meng said happily, touching Bai Ze's face with her hand.
"Hehe, when the mission is completed, I'll let you all be my wings! Hehehe~~" Bai Ze was thinking about his good fortune. Xiao Meng looked at Bai Ze, who was hugging her but thinking about others, and angrily moved her little hand down, her soft flesh being checked and rotated 360°!
"Ouch! Xiaomeng, I was wrong, I shouldn't have been holding you while you were thinking about other people, I was wrong!"
After quickly apologizing, Xiaomeng let go of his hand and said angrily:
"If there's a next time, I won't let you hold me while I sleep."
Although the two hadn't yet completed the final mission, everyone around them automatically assumed Xiaomeng was Bai Ze's woman, and when they were given a room, they always considered them together. So, unlike in the tavern where they slept in separate rooms, the two of them always slept in the same room after arriving at the Great Wall.
Bai Ze quickly reached out his devilish hand and squeezed the steamed bun, which made Xiao Meng soften. Bai Ze chuckled and hugged her tighter, kissing her twice, and said:
"Go to sleep. We're heading south tomorrow. Once we get back to Winterfell, you can rest well. There won't be so much to do there!" The two then fell asleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, the group packed their things and rode south to Winterfell. Jon Snow also wanted to go back and see his younger siblings.
Within a few days, Bai Ze and lords from various places arrived at Winterfell one after another. Ned Stark, along with several lords who had arrived before Bai Ze, greeted him. "Brother! Welcome back!" Ned looked at Bai Ze as he returned, and after Bai Ze dismounted, he stepped forward and gave Bai Ze a big hug!
While holding Bai Ze, she whispered to him:
"Thank you for everything you've done for our Stark family. The North will always remember you. If the North had enough land, I would have given you a title!"
"But this time I don't need to bring it to you. Once you report the White Walkers to Robert, he will reward you, and he'll also thank you for the potion of life, otherwise my good brother Robert would be going to meet the gods!"
"Hehe~ This time I really did find an opportunity to ask Robert for something. I hope he won't worry or get angry after I finish speaking."
According to the timeline, Khal Drogo has already been killed by the apothecary who massacred the city, and Daenerys Targaryen has hatched three dragon cubs in the fire. Ah! How envious! Three dragon sons, the best children and flying pets!
Ned looked at Bai Ze, whose words held a deeper meaning, and said, "Oh! If there's any chance for things to turn around, I'll try to persuade him for you. This experience of death has changed him; he's not as impulsive and easily angered as before!"
He patted Bai Ze on the shoulder, and Bai Ze nodded at Ned, then followed him into Winterfell.
Ned chatted with Bai Ze all the way to the entrance of his family's tavern. The wolf guards who accompanied him helped Bai Ze carry the things he brought back into the tavern. Bai Ze and Xiao Meng bid farewell to Ned and said they would get some rest. The meeting could only be held after all the lords and city lords had arrived.
A day later, all the lords and city lords had arrived. Ned sent someone to invite Bai Ze to the council hall of Wolfsburg. Bai Ze had the swordsman who delivered the message take the box containing the White Walker's head and went to the council hall of Wolfsburg.
The lords who knew Bai Ze were happy to see him there and waved to him. Bai Ze waved back. The swordsman who had led the way placed the box on the table in front of Bai Ze's seat, bowed, and left.
The side door at the front of the council chamber, near the lord's seat, opened, and a knight stood beside the main seat, speaking loudly:
"Welcome to the King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and the Protector of the Realm, King Robert Baratheon, founder of the Baratheon dynasty. And Lord Ned Stark, Duke of Winterfell and Warden of the North!"
Everyone rose to greet the arrival of the two supreme leaders. Robert entered the council chamber first, followed by Ned. Robert glanced at the lords of the North, nodded, and said:
"Sit down, everyone. Only you guys still think of me as the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, just like Ned. Those beasts in the south, I'll send them to hell sooner or later!"
Ned chuckled as he looked at the furious Robert, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "With us here, the Riverlands and the Vale still support you. Stannis is still in the Royallands, and Renly is still in the Stormlands. As long as you deal with the Lannisters, you will still be the ruler of our Seven Kingdoms!"
Robert didn't say anything more, just pursed his lips and said to Ned Stark, "Fine, you chair the meeting. I'll just watch. You know more about things in the North than I do."
Robert glanced at the crowd and noticed that Roose Bolton of Dreadfort was also there. This meant that he had succumbed to the common goal of the other families in the North. It wasn't worth it for his family to collude with the Lannisters to cause trouble in the North, but they still needed to keep an eye on him. The history of House Boomerang wasn't exactly pleasant.
"Today, we are holding this meeting here for the sake of our King Robert I."
Most people should know something about the Lannisters in King's Landing to the south and the Lannisters in the west: Queen Cersei, the incestuous queen, placed her incestuous son Joffrey on the Iron Throne and led the Westerlands in this rebellion.
"We don't yet know the situation or intentions of the Reach and Dorne, but the Royal Country and the Westerlands are in a state of rebellion, and our mission is to eliminate them for His Majesty the King!"
Everyone understood the main matter in the south, and then Ned continued:
"The other one is the Wall. As you all probably know, the White Walkers have been resurrected, and some areas outside the Wall have already fallen!"
The wights are slaughtering the wildlings. Once they've amassed their strength and the Night of Eternity arrives, the Wall will be unable to defend against the White Walkers' army. We in the North will be the first to suffer. Therefore, we must act swiftly in the South; the real battleground lies beyond the Wall!
Everyone understood the gravity of the situation. They didn't know if the lands south of the North would suffer, but once the White Walkers marched south, they would be the first to be affected.
On this southward march, I will appoint my son Rob Stark as commander-in-chief!
Lord Jon Umber, Lord Harris Holwood, Lord Gabert Glover, and several others who led the Northern army south joined forces with Ser Holland Reed of Greywater Watch and the troops of Carlin Bay.
The remaining adults need to gather the remaining forces in Winterfell, and we must be ready to head north to support the Great Wall at any time.
His Majesty Robert and my wife will send a letter to the Eyrie in the Vale, requesting that they also send troops to help them march south against the Lannisters.
Your ultimate goal is to aid Lord Edmin Tully of Riverrun, who should already be under siege by the Lannisters.
After the tasks were assigned, everyone understood their responsibilities. The tasks in both the north and south were very important, as they concerned the safety of their own fiefdoms. There were no conditions to discuss; they could only obey the arrangements.
Having finished explaining the arrangements in the south, Ned looked at Bai Ze and said, "Now let's hear what Lord Bai Ze, who has returned from beyond the Wall, has to say about the White Walkers."
All eyes turned to Bai Ze, who smiled at them and began to recount the story of the White Walkers beyond the Wall.
"The White Walkers are already active extensively outside the Wall. Normally, when humans are killed, they are resurrected as wights. Wights have no intelligence and can only attack, but they are faster than fully armed soldiers."
The White Walkers are the leaders of the wights. Their work involves the resurrection of corpses into wights. There are many wights, but they can still be killed. Breaking their bodies or setting them on fire will kill them instantly. We've already experimented with this outside the Wall.
Everyone found it hard to believe that a corpse could be resurrected. They drank their wine and listened to Bai Ze finish his story.
"The White Walkers should be intelligent magical creatures. There shouldn't be many of them. Most of them were transformed from the First Men, and it was the first White Walker who did it."
The White Walkers' bodies and their ice weapons are imbued with magic. Any ordinary person who touches a White Walker or its weapon will be instantly frozen into an ice sculpture. The White Walkers' attack speed is also far greater than that of most ordinary people. Currently, the only weapons discovered that can be used to fight them are Valyrian steel swords or dragonglass weapons.
Hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They had never even heard of dragon glass, and the Valyrian steel weapons they knew of numbered only a handful, far too few to equip a large army for combat. If the White Walkers continued to reveal their true forms and wights their army to annoy the North, when would it ever end?
Bai Ze glanced at the murmuring crowd, gave a slight smile, and then said:
"But now there's another weapon that can harm and kill the White Walkers—the sword my tavern is giving away!"
Several lords who had received the swords from Bai Ze couldn't help but touch their own swords.
Bai Ze pushed the box containing the White Walker's head forward. After so much time, the magic on the head had almost completely dissipated. Bai Ze simply opened the box with his hand, showing the head inside to everyone.
"My Ranger and I encountered a White Walker leader in the southern Ghostwood outside the Wall. He was leading an army that had killed a village of wildlings. We wiped out all the wights he was leading, and I fought him in a fierce battle, beheading him with the weapon in my hand!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw the White Walker's head. By the Old Gods! What a terrifying thing!
Upon hearing this, and seeing the head I had produced, Robert finally fully believed the White Walker and laughed heartily:
"Hahahaha! To be able to continue fighting in my lifetime and encounter such a mysterious vanished creature, this second half of my life has not been in vain."
Bai Ze, is it? Very well, I will appoint you Duke of my Kingdom of Baratheon as a reward for your contributions to the Seven Kingdoms!
Robert knew the potion that saved his life was provided by the White Ze, but he couldn't reveal such a mysterious substance in public. He could only use the White Ze's name to bestow the title upon him. Robert looked at the White Ze and continued:
"Once you've dealt with those Lannister bastards, their territory will be yours!"
