Chapter 39 The Belated Three-Eyed Raven, Rewards in Hand, and the Arrival of a New Member!
The unconscious Bai Ze was carried back to Castle Black by Oberyn Martell and the others. However, the fact that Bai Ze had fainted did not cause everyone to be nervous again. Xiao Meng stayed by the sleeping Bai Ze's side, while the others went to deal with the White Walkers' funeral arrangements.
"Ah~ I slept so well!"
Bai Ze, who seemed to have woken up, looked around at the snowy landscape and found himself lying in front of a fish weir wood with a face carved on it. Bai Ze looked up at the face on the fish weir wood.
"I knew you'd come looking for me, but I didn't expect you to come only after all the White Walkers were dead. Why didn't you do anything after I stopped Bran from breaking his leg?"
Bai Ze knew that the Three-Eyed Raven would definitely come looking for him, but he didn't expect that it could survive until now!
"The Night King's power increased significantly after you first killed the White Walkers. The entire Wall was covered by his magical blizzards, and he has been looking for an opportunity to kill me!"
A decaying, ancient voice came from within the great tree. Bai Ze stood up, looked at the 'Heart Tree' that was shedding tears of blood, and continued:
"Should I call you a prophet? Or the Three-Eyed Raven? Or... 'Blood Raven' Brynden Rivers!"
"I am the Prophet, I am the Three-Eyed Raven, and as for the name Brynden Rivers, it's been a long time since anyone has called me that!"
At this moment, an old figure slowly appeared before Bai Ze, dressed in tattered black clothes, with white hair and a wrinkled old face.
This is the figure of Brynden Rivers, the one who led Bran through thousands of years of history, and here he also revealed the reason for the existence of the White Walkers.
Thousands of years of human history flowed around him and Bran, from the Children of the Forest to the First Men and then the White Walkers created by war.
After dynasties changed, the Targaryen family, riding dragons, unified the continent.
Thus, the Green Prophet completed his mission, handing over the Three-Eyed Raven's task to Bran before being killed by the Night King.
Bran's servant, Hodor, also died on the road to intercept the wights!
Brynden Rivers took two steps toward Bai Ze and looked at him, saying:
"Ever since you appeared in the North, I have been observing you, because I suddenly realized that you have no past! And the future is all around you!"
Your every move creates a new future, while the original trajectory is shattered beneath your feet!
So I stopped what I was doing and didn't send Jojen Reed or the Children of the Forest to find Bran Stark!
"Because it's possible that I am the new future of the mainland, right?"
Bai Ze crossed his arms and looked at Brynden River, who was walking unsteadily. If he weren't dying, he wouldn't be looking for a new successor!
After Bran received the prophet's historical indoctrination and transformed into the new Three-Eyed Raven, he completely abandoned joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, as if he had been possessed!
“Yes! After you stepped into the North, you could no longer see the future! The future was all around you, or rather... you are the future!” Brynden Rivers said, staring at Bai Ze.
"Now? Is this the future you want?"
Bai Ze also asked a direct question.
Brynden Rivers slowly walked to the weirwood tree, sat down, and said softly:
"That's enough. The Night King and his magic have all vanished with his death. The continent is safe!"
The fact that the last child of the forest can continue to live, and that the faith in the old gods has not disappeared, is already a very good outcome!
Bai Ze looked at the tall 'Heart Tree' and said:
"And you? Aren't you going to look for an heir anymore? You won't cause Bran any more trouble, will you?"
Bai Ze said this to the Green Prophet, also known as the Three-Eyed Raven.
"I guess I won't need it anymore. Without the Night King chasing me around every day, I should be able to live for a while longer! Hehe~"
The words were still spoken by Brinden River, but his tone was completely different from before!
"That's good. Then I thank you on behalf of the Stark family!"
In fact, some of the events involving the Stark family began after Bran broke his leg, including Littlefinger Baelish's subsequent series of conspiracies and the conflict between the Stark and Lannister families!
Bai Ze asked again, "So, is there anything else you need from me now? You don't want me to become a three-eyed crow, do you?"
"How could that be! You are now another 'Three-Eyed Raven'! And you did it better than me, and you handled things much more perfectly than I, the 'Three-Eyed Raven'!"
I just wanted to chat with you, that's all! Thank you again!
Thank you for saving Westeros! The Old Gods will forever bless you, Lord Bai Ze!
Bai Ze was confused by Brinden Rivers' words. When he could see things clearly again, the familiar ceiling of the room appeared in front of him!
…
Bai Ze shook his head from side to side and saw Xiao Meng sleeping on the right side of the bed. Bai Ze raised his arm, which was still a little sore and numb, and placed his hand on Xiao Meng's fair face.
"Hmm~"
Bai Ze's touch woke Xiao Meng. Xiao Meng looked at Bai Ze, who had already woken up, sat up, grabbed Bai Ze's slipping hand, and placed it on her face.
"Aze! Welcome back!"
Just like welcoming Bai Ze home at the tavern, Xiao Meng's gentle tone was still as touching as ever!
"Did you see how I finally slew the Night King? Wasn't that cool!"
Bai Ze asked Xiao Meng with a grin.
"handsome!"
"How could you not be awesome! With tens of thousands of people watching, you slew the most dangerous enemy on the continent, and now everyone is praising your achievements!"
I reckon it won't be long before all those wealthy ladies will be stripping naked on the spot to express their love for you!
Xiao Meng also teased Bai Ze a couple of times. While Bai Ze was unconscious, everyone in the Black Castle was discussing the duel in which Lord Bai Ze finally killed the Night King. Those who were close to Bai Ze became the targets of those who were too far away to see the battle clearly.
"Now I should be able to gather all the reputation I need for the mission!"
Bai Ze still hadn't forgotten the reputation quests given by the system. Without major events that everyone knew about and memorable moments, reputation couldn't be increased!
Bai Ze held Xiao Meng's hand and lay back down on the bed, silently chanting in his heart.
"System! Check the task completion status!"
"Good host!"

Given that the host perfectly completed the reputation quest, exceeding the reputation limit by more than 30,000 points, the remaining reputation will grant the host one random adventure party character summoning opportunity.
Please extract the desired amount yourself...
"Hahahaha~~ I'm rich now!"
Putting everything else aside, the fact that they directly gave him 5 levels, allowing Bai Ze to successfully level up to 40, is really nice~
It can designate one member of the adventure team and also summon one randomly. If it gets a stronger one, then it will be able to do whatever it wants!
Since there's still one designated summon left, let's use the random pet summon and the random adventure team summon first, and see who comes up with the random summon before deciding on the designated summon!
"System! Activate the auxiliary equipment pocket jar, and use random pet and adventure team summons!"
"Okay, opening the miniature jar!"
The familiar sound of clappers and canned goods rang in my ears again!
Obtain Natural Stone (Blue Magic Stone Equipment)... Obtain Secret Crescent Earring (Purple Rare Earring)... Obtain Old-Style Stardust Magic Stone (White Magic Stone Equipment)
"Wow, what luck! I got a rare purple standard earring that I can wear! The other two are just trash! Oh well, I can't dismantle them anyway, I'll just wear one for now!"
I put the natural stone and the secret crescent moon earring into the magic stone and earring slot, and continued to watch the system summon random pets and random adventure team members.
A scratch-off lottery wheel appeared, and my pet in the backpack spun around in it. As the speed gradually decreased, a familiar furry creature stopped in front of me!
The adorable tiger pet has been delivered. Please check your mail, host!
A cute little yellow-skinned, black-striped tiger appeared on Bai Ze's bed. Bai Ze sighed, "Why didn't I get a more powerful New Year's pet? One that could even help me in battle!"
Bai Ze handed the little tiger licking its paws, which was sitting in his lap, to Xiao Meng, whose eyes were already sparkling with excitement, and said:
"This is a pet summoned as a quest reward. You can play with it when you're bored."
"Thank you so much, Master!"
As she spoke, she hugged the little tiger and began to frantically rub, abuse, and kiss it. The little tiger's furry paws could not stop this crazy woman, and it could only helplessly resist each blow.
Xiao Meng sweetly called Bai Ze "Master!" which made Bai Ze want to fight her again!
Amitabha! May the Heavenly Venerable grant your blessings!
I still have things to do, I'll do her later when I'm free tonight!
The pet roulette wheel disappeared, and the character selection window for the dungeon appeared on the wheel, with all the members of my adventure party flashing past me one by one.
Long time no see, everyone!
I'll be able to go on adventures with you guys from now on! I can't wait!
The spinning wheel started to turn again, and figures flashed by quickly. Finally, a female character wearing a white bikini, with white hair and a white fox headdress stopped in front of me!
Holy crap!
It was actually a Supreme Martial Saint! Good heavens, Bai Ze was so excited he almost jumped out of bed!
Not to mention the outfits, they were truly impeccable. When Bai Ze was styling the female characters on his account, he chose some distinctive clothes. The 2015 Dungeon Summer Set was the ultimate swimsuit!
"Adventure party character has been summoned. Host, would you like to materialize it now?"
I didn't expect the system to have such a thoughtful service. Instead of summoning it directly on the spot, if it were summoned right here in the room, it would be hard to say when we went out that there was an extra person there!
"Let's not summon them yet. We'll talk about it after we leave the Great Wall and get back to the tavern!"
With the help of the Martial Saint, the team is now missing a healer who can heal and save people at any time. So let's go back and summon a healer to the team!
From now on, the team will have a scout (Xiao Meng's female mechanical robot Yareja), a healer, and DPS from myself and the Extreme Martial Saint. Perfect!
Bai Ze happily said to Xiao Meng:
"Great! We randomly summoned a Supreme Martial Saint! Now we have another powerful ally!"
Xiao Meng stopped teasing the little tiger and said with surprise, "Really! That's great! From now on, Aze, you'll have someone to fight alongside you!"
Bai Ze continued, "There's also a designated summoning opportunity. We'll reserve that for the healer, so the team won't have to worry about us getting injured in the future!"
An excited Bai Ze went up and hugged Xiao Meng, giving her a big kiss!
The two of them played around in the room for a while, then it was time to go out and meet everyone, otherwise everyone would think that Lord Bai Ze was still fast asleep!
…
Bai Ze led Xiao Meng out of the room. The guards at the door saw Bai Ze emerge and looked at him with extremely fanatical eyes, immediately kneeling down to pay their respects.
"Lord Bai Ze, you've woken up!"
Hearing the guards' voices, the others in the corridor also walked towards Bai Ze's room, stood up in unison, and knelt on one knee!
"Greetings, Lord Bai Ze!"
Bai Ze quickly waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand up.
"Okay, okay! I'm fine! Get up!"
At this moment, Tyrion, who lived in a room not far from Bai Ze, heard the noise and came out of his room. He squeezed through the crowd, walked up to Bai Ze, bowed, and said:
"My lord! You've recovered!"
Having dispersed the star-struck guards, Bai Ze looked at Tyrion and said:
"Hmm~ I had a good night's sleep! Everything's fine now!"
"Your good health is the best gift for me! I was mesmerized watching you fight on the Great Wall!"
I never imagined swordsmanship could reach such a level! It's truly breathtaking!
Tyrion makes no secret of his admiration for Bai Ze. Now that he is a subject of the strongest 'Blood-Eyed Sword Saint' in the seven kingdoms of the continent, Tyrion has become the envy of many!
"Hahaha!"
Bai Ze accepted Tyrion's praise, or rather, flattery.
Bai Ze walked toward the small room where King Robert and Ned often held meetings, and Xiao Meng and Tyrion quickly followed.
As they approached the room door, the guard saw Bai Ze and quickly bowed to him.
"Lord Bai Ze!"
Robert, who was in the room, was discussing with Ned and Oberyn Martell about the withdrawal of the army and how to entertain Daenerys Targaryen when he heard the voice of the guard at the door. He quickly told Ser Barristan to open the door for Bai Ze.
"Has Bai Ze woken up?! Come in quickly, everyone's here!"
Robert didn't get up; he remained in his seat and loudly beckoned Bai Ze to come in.
Bai Ze entered the room and bowed to Robert, who quickly waved his hand and said:
"Alright, alright, stop with all that trouble, come and sit down!"
Bai Ze walked over and sat down next to Ned. Oberyn Martell, sitting opposite him, looked at Bai Ze and said:
"Bai Ze, your body is truly abnormal! After such an intense battle, you collapsed from exhaustion, yet you're completely recovered in less than a day!"
I remember when I was practicing marksmanship, I was so excited that I practiced until I was completely exhausted. I rested for several days, and even then, I still couldn't grip anything with my arms!
"Hahaha~ If everyone could be like Lord Bai Ze, then dealing with the White Walkers this time would be a piece of cake!"
"Yes, even with the help of the divine puppets provided by Lord Bai Ze, nearly 1 people still died at the foot of the Great Wall, and thousands of them will never be able to fight or work normally again!"
Seeing everyone talking at once, Bai Ze sighed and said:
"Who would have thought that the Night King, that bastard, dug a mammoth out of some ice hole! Most of the casualties were caused in the battle with the wight mammoths."
Ned then said, "We still need to make proper arrangements for those soldiers who lost their limbs but survived, otherwise they will just be a burden on their families instead of a source of labor!"
Bai Ze continued, "Let's send a batch to the Western Territory. I have many castles and territories that don't have guards or workers. We can use them as guards, and they can be craftsmen!"
Robert then said, "Lord Bai Ze's suggestion is excellent! They can handle the tasks that don't require moving or physical exertion. When Bai Ze returns to the West, he can take a batch back with him!"
Others also said that this was a good idea, as each family could get a share of their territory, and it wouldn't be difficult to accommodate a thousand or so people.
Thanks to the help of the doll Christian Ronaldo, most of the wounded inside the Great Wall have now recovered. Only those soldiers who lost arms or legs cannot be treated. Now, we can take this opportunity to solve this major post-war problem!
Next, we need to discuss Daenerys's matter!
