Away from Lindong City, the north is the broad "wolf forest", and the last green place in the snow. Further north, it is the harsh ice and snow. No more than four months a year can be used for farming, so the harvest can only be sustained by potatoes, rye, rape and broad beans. This place is sparsely populated, and a few larger settlements are mostly near the "last fireplace city".
Further north is the night watchman's territory. In recognition of the night watchman's achievements in defending the Great Wall, Brandon, the city builder, assigned the land more than 100 kilometers south of the Great Wall to the night watchman for their sustenance. Later, Queen Alishan, the wife of King jheris, the arbiter, doubled the land and divided the same distance south to the night watchman, which was called "new land grant".
But the night watchman is no longer the original night watchman. Night king, ghost, night shadow and other monsters are just characters in horror stories now, and they haven't appeared for a long time. Therefore, their combat target has changed from "ghosts" to "savages" in the north.
Savages are also human beings. They were just born on the other side of the Great Wall. The harsh environment gave them a more direct and barbaric culture. If they couldn't get it, they would take it, grab it and kill it. The towering Great Wall of despair blocked their way to the warm land, but the night watchman, who was short of personnel, could not watch the whole defense line.
Originally, there were 19 castles along the Great Wall, but now only three have standing troops. They are the second shadow tower in the west, the black castle in the center and donghaiwang in the East. The rest are just places to go when patrolling and on duty. Savages sometimes seize the opportunity to climb the great wall of doom from undiscovered places and then plunder the land in the south. But they can't take anything back. At the same time, the knights in the north will attack and kill them all, and put out the raids of savages again and again. As a result, the situation on both sides of the Great Wall has never changed, but the hatred is getting deeper and deeper.
Zhao Mai has no intention of intervening in the battle between the night watchman and the savage. He just wants to find the "three eyed crow" who lives in seclusion in the north as soon as possible, learn his skills, and then leave. But when he arrived at the Great Wall, he found that things were not as simple as he thought.
No one will miss this huge building, which stretches 600 kilometers and is more than 200 meters high on average. From a distance, Zhao Mai saw this amazing spectacle. Shining like blue crystal, the high wall of ice will never melt. Like a giant, it overlooks the earth and blocks the danger of the north with its broad and heavy chest, as well as Zhao Mai's way.
"Damn, I should have thought, it's all magic here too!" Zhao Mai stamped his feet and kicked up the flying snow. "Eagle nest city uses magic, so does the Great Wall! How can bran, the builder of the city, the son of the forest, and the giant build the great wall without magic? "
In the induction of the natural force, the Great Wall is more spectacular. Countless runes cover the whole building. An invisible barrier rushes up to the sky and goes deep into the underground. Its complexity is no less than 100 times that of Yingchao city. It's OK to wait and see from a distance. As long as you concentrate on it, you will feel dizzy. The whole magic draws power from the vast northern territory. The whole "gift of Brandon", which is more than 100 kilometers, is providing power for this huge building.
No matter how barren the northern territory is, there is no shortage of ice and snow. The great wall of desperate situation can stand on this strength. The more severe it is, the stronger it will be. With the idea of just in case, Zhao Mai drove close to the Great Wall, only to find that he could not cross it at all, whether on the ground or underground. As soon as he got close, the Great Wall was resisting it, and even the solid body began to freeze. He stepped back and left the dangerous place.
What the hell is going on. Is it as abnormal as the dragon in Mingyue Mountain range or should it be? Zhao Mai stopped the car and looked for clues from the data. Through a few words in the materials, he found that "ghosts can't cross the Great Wall, and ghosts made by ghosts can't cross the Great Wall." There is another saying that banyan stark, who has become an undead, said: "the great wall of doom has a charm. People like me can't get close to or cross it."
If we dig deeper into the data, we can find that there are several passages under the great wall of despair, which are protected by powerful runes. Only the night watchman in black can order them to open, and Sam the "killer" returns to the black castle in this way. If we continue to analyze the performance of the great wall of despair in actual combat, we can find that savages can turn over from the great wall of despair, because they are also the blood of the ancestors, which is not strange, but the giants are affected. In the siege, the king of giants who entered the tunnel was killed by six recruits. No one was seen in the process of the battle, but this matter is infinitely strange. It may also have something to do with the fact that the king of giants was not "invited to pass". Maybe he was just like Zhao Mai's car, infinitely suppressed, or even directly crushed to death.
The only one who passed through the great wall of despair was a few night watchmen who turned into ghouls. If you think about the plot carefully, you can also find the doubtful point: the night watchman saw the horses and the fallen bodies returning from the desperate situation in the north, so he "opened the tunnel door to let them come", and then the bodies arrived at the black castle. In a word, Zhao Mai's theory can't find any counter examples in the whole book, and can explain all the relevant plots. Let's say it's right."So I'm weird, too?" Zhao Mai pondered that he was not a person in this world, and he did not have the blood of "ancestors, andars and loynas". He was really a monster in the alien world, so the wall prevented him from coming and going. In other words, if you want to go across the street, you need the consent of the night watchman?
Maybe there's another way? Zhao Mai thought about it and thought about the spear of his heart. If it's magic or psionic power, the spear of the heart can suppress and protect the holder from damage. Maybe this ability can also be applied to the great wall of doom.
"Little flower, I'll use the spear of the heart." Zhao Mai stretched out his hand and went in. His hands were empty for a long time. When he looked into the car, Xiaohua was drooping, shrinking her petals, curling her leaves, twisting her stems, as if to avoid Zhao Mai's eyes. In the flowerpot, only the last fragment of the old spear was left.
"What, all of it?" Zhao Mai was surprised and said, "can you eat artifact? No, why do you eat it? "
Xiaohua quietly opened a petal and whispered to Zhao Mai: "I want to grow up..."
"Oh, then eat it." Zhao Mai looked at Xiaohua embarrassed look, had to comfort her, said: "I have promised to give you heart wood spear, can blame you?"
Voice just fell, floret opened all petals, in the flowerpot, a happy look.
It seems that we have to go to the night watchman. It shouldn't be difficult for them to agree? Zhao Mai didn't want to take this adventure for nothing. He always wanted to try this possibility.
In this way, on a cold morning, a carriage crunched under the snow and approached the gate of the black castle.
