King's Landing

The Second Element of King's Landing Volume 8 Chapter 54 Paranoia and Ruthlessness

When Ye Jiama arrived, all he saw was the cold weather.

Mountains, forests, grasslands, shrubs, rivers, and even the air are all frozen. Looking around, it seems like the ice age has come.The horseshoe couldn't stand firmly on the smooth ice, and Ye could only walk towards the center of the glacier.

Thousands of soldiers knelt on the ice, their faces bleak.

In the center surrounded by them, Esthers stood silently, without saying a word, his face hidden under his hat, unable to see the change in expression, but around her body, there was a wave of frost that could not be seen. breath.

On the ground, there is an ice coffin lying horizontally, and inside the ice coffin is a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man wore leather armor and was mighty and unyielding, but his whole body was black and his breath was absent, and his vitality was obviously cut off.

Ye walked in slowly, bypassing the kneeling soldiers, and came to Esdes.

The soldiers following Ye knelt down on one knee.

In this way, everyone stood silently.

No one spoke, no one spoke, no one moved.

Finally, an unusually calm voice rang.

"He was poisoned by Gu maggots and died."

"Ok."

"He was in an ambush just to find me."

"Ok."

"He is strong, stronger than me, but I live, but he is dead."

"Ok."

"His carelessness killed him, and his arrows were coated with maggot venom."

"Ok."

"I helped him avenge and buried all foreign races, including two super dangerous species."

"Ok."

"Do you think I did something wrong?"

This time, nothing got a response, only the cold air stroked his cheeks.

Esdes suddenly turned his head, and his ice crystal-colored eyes quietly stared at Ye.

"Want to hear about my past?"

"Yeah." Ye nodded.

Esther turned around and faced all the kneeling soldiers.

"You all get up, go back and prepare your troops. When I finish sending the general, I will take you to avenge him!"

She did not hold any accountability, but simply issued a withdrawal order.

The soldiers hesitated, but in the end they all stood up. Qi Qi bowed to the figure in the ice coffin before turning and leaving.

In the entire ice field, only Esters and Ye are left, as well as the ice coffin that lies across.

Asides walked behind Ye, as if afraid of the cold, he hugged Ye tightly in his arms.

"I, born on the northern border, have you heard of the Baruts?"

Ye shook his head.

"That's a minority group that specializes in hunting dangerous species for a living. My father is the patriarch of the entire tribe. Since I was a child, under the guidance of my father, I have worked hard with the goal of hunting stronger and larger dangerous species."

Asides talked about her past quietly.

When she was very young, she started learning to hunt dangerous species with her father and her people.

"At that time, my father always told me that between the dangerous species and humans, the weak and the strong eat the strong. Because ordinary humans are too weak and small, they will be eaten by the dangerous species. Because the dangerous species are too weak, they will be hunted by us. So The tribesmen who died in the hunt are also responsible for their own lack of training and their weakness."

Ye didn't say a word, but just listened.

"One time I went into the deep mountain hunting alone. When I managed to bring the prey back to the tribe, what I saw was a scene of flames bursting into the sky and bodies all over. The whole tribe was dead, including my father, which was in the north. The foreign nations did it. They crossed the borders and passed our tribe, and then they burned, killed and looted."

There was no trace of pity in Esdes's tone, and he could not even feel the hatred of the foreign nations in the north.

"I still remember what my father told me before he died. He said that he and his people deserved to die. They were killed because they were too weak. Therefore, it was their own responsibility to be killed. Not only humans. Between the dangerous species, and between human beings, the weak and the strong eat the flesh. Therefore, only by becoming stronger and stronger than anyone else can you survive."

"So, for the death of General Billy, you only think that he is not strong enough, is it his own responsibility?"

"Ah, yes, I do think so."

Asides nodded, but her tone seemed to become complicated.

"However, it's a little bit different. I don't intend to shirk my responsibility. If it weren't for coming to find me, he wouldn't be ambushed. Therefore, compared to the time my father was killed, I feel even more sad this time. This feeling is not good."

Unknowingly, his hands hugged Ye tighter, as if he felt Esther's emotions, and the surrounding temperature became lower.

"Now, kid, what would happen if it were you?"

"I will avenge General Billy, he is a good general, nothing more."

"Oh?"

With an unexpected sound, Esders obviously did not expect Ye's answer to be so similar to what she thought.

"I know what you are surprised, but don't compare me with you. I am different from you. Although I also follow the principle of the weak and the strong, if it is a person I agree with, even if it is desperate, I will protect her. "

These words made Esdes startled, she asked subconsciously.

"Then what if it can't be protected?"

"Impossible. Since they are people I agree with, their safety is as important as my own life. If there is a danger, I will first consider their safety, which has nothing to do with strength or weakness. If it is not related to me People, even if they die tens of millions, I don’t feel much, because I am not a benevolent god, let alone a saint who is compassionate and compassionate."

A brilliance flashed in Esdes's eyes like never before.

She suddenly couldn't help asking a question.

"What about me? Little guy? Am I someone you agree with?"

"Want to know?"

Esther nodded.

"In my eyes, you are just a crazy woman shaking S."

"is it?"

Although Esdes was very calm on the surface, but for some reason he was very unhappy in his heart.

"But in my heart..."

"Huh? What did you just say? Little guy."

Ye was silent, but Asides suddenly smiled, she actually heard what happened after that.
