Chapter 243 Responsibility for Choice
In the next few days, Zhao Mai either looked up information in Bachelor Yimeng's library, or practiced spells and psychic abilities outside the Black Castle. The schedule was very busy and rarely appeared among night watchmen, and his life was like retreat. The advantage of this was that he gradually got a clue about how the White Walkers controlled the corpse.
The natural force with hatred is the root of everything. Zhao Mai felt something similar from the desert of Atas, the hatred of the planet towards the magicians who destroyed its ecology also appeared in Westeros. Looking back on the battle between the ancestors and the sons of the forest, thinking about the fear of monsters using stone weapons being massacred by humans using metal weapons, it is not difficult to understand where this hatred comes from.
"So now it's certain that the Sons of the Forest formed their hatred for humanity, combined with the natural force, condensed into the original ice heart, and created the first generation of White Walkers. The Sons of the Forest used White Walkers as weapons, gave the White Walkers the ability to manipulate corpses, and formed an army to fight against humanity. This is the truth of history." Zhao Mai read the ancient poems collected by Bachelor Yimeng, and found many originally contradictory points from it, and then used this theory to explain it smoothly.
The Force of Natural is born with the ability to reproduce creatures. The Son of the Forest did not expect that their "experimental weapons" would eventually have the ability to expand, and they became a new "creature". If hatred is not resolved, it will only become heavier and more extreme. The White Walkers finally decided to clear all life, including the Son of the Forest, so as to leave a world where only they are.
"So the sons of the forest and their ancestors had to cooperate, turn enemies into friends, and fight against the White Walkers together until they drove them back to the coldest place and built the Great Wall of Desperate." Zhao Mai thought of this and complained: "I have to say that the White Walkers did end the war between the sons of the forest and humanity to some extent."
To some extent, his spiritual power imitated the condensed hatred will of the White Walker. On the planet Atas, Zhao Mai was cursed by the blasphemy of magic, and then was influenced by the natural will full of hatred many times, with more or less the characteristics of the will. Although he had never seen the White Walker, there might be some similarities. Zhao Mai slapped his head: "Crack! Could it be that because of this, the Great Wall of Desperate Realm recognized me as a White Walker?"
It is unlikely to think about it. Isn’t it impossible to get through his car? It seems that a puzzle has been solved, but in fact more puzzles may appear. Zhao Mai shook his head and temporarily took back his ideas. He doesn’t want to create White Walkers, just understand the skills of using the natural force. Moreover, if he can imitate the spiritual signals sent by the White Walkers, he can confuse the control of the corpse ghost and make himself safer.
The fundamental reason for the natural force is balance. The White Walkers and corpse ghosts, whose ice power is stronger, will be more afraid of flames, especially the flames of the natural force. This is like extreme things are easier to exert force in the early stage and quickly increase their power; the middle and peaceful method can only catch up in the later stages. The son of the forest used extreme ice to create White Walkers, and should have used extreme flames to eliminate them. However, the Great Wall of Desperation built not only protected the humans south of the Great Wall, but also prevented their enterprising spirit, giving the White Walkers the opportunity to recuperate in the cold place.
This is like cancerous tissues that are not eradicated, so there are frequent problems. White Walkers will never die, but humans will have short life. After a long period of lurking, humans have forgotten the way to deal with White Walkers, and piled up the documents that were full of lessons, experiences and sacrifices among the old books of the Night Watchmen.
Zhao Mai sorted out the information he found in a category and prepared to package it and hand it over to Master Yimeng. The Night Watcher will use it one day. He began to study various potions, on the one hand for treatment, on the other hand for use as weapons. The druid can make his spells into potions for use, which is the so-called magic potion. Although the preparation method of this potion is different from the skills of the bachelors, who says it cannot be understood by analogy?
Days passed day by day. Every day, Jon would come to Master Emon, at least three times to see if there were any ravens from the south. He missed his father with a nervous mood, and the sadness on his face became deeper and deeper. Master Emon told him about responsibility and choices, and taught him a lesson with his own personal experience. The blind-eyed old man who was guarding the Black Castle was Targaryen. The "crazy King" overthrew by King Robert Baratheon, who had just passed away, was also his nephew.
In the order of inheritance of the throne, Emon is higher than Elis Targaryen's father. When Emon was young, in order to avoid too many descendants of Tagaryen's struggles for the throne, Emon was arranged by his father to be a bachelor. Bachelor is similar to Night Watch, and he wants to give up family power, but fortunately, giving up the bachelor's "returning to secularity" will not be executed as a traitor.
After a series of turmoil, the Targaryen family's inheritance sequence arrived at Emon. He was quietly recalled to the court and prepared to be granted the throne. After thinking, Emon refused and gave the throne to his younger brother, while he retained his identity as a bachelor. "I have no responsibility as a king, my responsibility is a bachelor." Afterwards, he chose to serve the Black Castle of the Night Watch, and with the dual self-exiled attitude of "bachelor" and "night watchman", he showed that he was completely away from the core of power.
He thought this would be the last test of his sense of responsibility, but he did not expect that the heaviest one would come when he was old. Robert Baratheon led a large army to break through King Landing and overthrow the rule of his brother's son. From the black raven, he received the news of his nephew's death and the entire Targaryen family. The baby in the cradle was thrown to death on the steps of the Iron Throne, and was also opened to his stomach and the young princess was raped and killed in the pool of blood of her own children. At this time, Emon was powerless.
When Master Yimeng was telling, Zhao Mai was listening to the side. When he saw Jon's face changed.
"I can understand your feelings, child... so I won't say let you stay or let you go." Master Emon said: "But you have to remember that no matter what choice you make, you make it yourself, and then accompany it for the rest of your life, and there will never be any excuses to escape or shirk. I can't say that the other road will be better, will I be better than my brother Aegon? I will avoid giving the throne to a king like Elis, I don't know. Maybe I will be crazier than him. You can only walk one road at a time and cannot start over, so you must be cautious!"
Who can start over? Maybe the transcendent can do it, the old man can definitely do it. Didn’t he say that his ability is to make everything happen again? When Zhao Mai sent Jon, who was still pale, he had a strange thought in his heart: Will you not face the choice after transcendence, and will there be no dilemma and pain? How did the old man make a choice so that he could push something back and start over?
