#264 - Chapter 38: The Attack of the White Walkers (Part 3)
The Three-Eyed Raven also snapped out of his trance: "What exactly happened? You actually entered the Green Vision without permission!"
"It was the Night King, he saw me!" Bran was still shaken, not yet recovered from the horror he had just experienced.
The Three-Eyed Raven's expression became extremely serious: "Did he touch you?"
"I'm not sure! It was too close at the time." Bran hurriedly pulled down his sleeve, and when he saw the mark on his wrist flashing with a strange blue light, he couldn't help but gasp.
The Three-Eyed Raven said expressionlessly: "Alas~ His magical mark has been left on you, and our hiding place has been exposed. The Night King will find us soon. You must leave immediately. Leaf, immediately notify all the Children of the Forest to prepare for evacuation." His tone was full of helplessness, and he sighed inwardly, as expected, bear children are the most annoying.
Bran's unauthorized actions not only delayed the original schedule but also squeezed his precious teaching time so urgently. To make matters worse, this private action actually attracted the terrifying Night King, and even the lair is facing a huge threat. Only half of the preparations for the inheritance have been completed, but now there is no choice but to take a risk.
Osha heard this and immediately turned around and rushed out the door, shouting: "Hodor! Come and help me move the sled. Meera, Jojen, quickly pack your things, we have to leave immediately. Those nasty guys are about to catch up!"
As people left one after another, the spacious hall gradually became deserted, and finally only the Three-Eyed Raven and Bran were left.
Bran lowered his head, his lips trembling slightly, and stammered in a low voice: "I... I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to." His eyes showed guilt and self-blame, as if he realized that he had made a serious mistake.
The Three-Eyed Raven sighed deeply: "Alas~ Actually, I didn't want to take this step so hastily. Many preparations have not been completed. If we transfer in advance, I don't know how much of those memories can be retained. However, the time has come to act..."
Bran felt very confused: "When is the right time? What exactly are you planning to do?"
The Three-Eyed Raven said firmly: "To make you my successor..."
Bran was suspicious: "But, am I really ready?"
The Three-Eyed Raven shook his head helplessly: "No, but we don't have time anymore..." Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly rolled back, and Bran's body also became stiff, his eyes also rolling back.
At this moment, a palm suddenly appeared, "Slap~!" With a crisp and loud slap, Bran was forcibly pulled out of the Green Vision.
The consciousness transmission stopped abruptly, and the Three-Eyed Raven spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at the dark figure, his single scarlet eye filled with endless resentment and viciousness: "It's you, I didn't expect you to find this place."
The shadow slowly lifted his hood and turned around slowly. What appeared in front of everyone was Liu Yuan! A mocking smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Tsk tsk~ I have to say, you are quite good at picking a place to hide. My people have been active in this area for eight whole years, but they haven't noticed this place at all."
The Three-Eyed Raven angrily questioned: "You violated our agreement! You once promised to help me find a successor."
Liu Yuan spread his hands helplessly and responded: "Yes, I did promise. But I also made it clear that you are not allowed to attack the people around me. Bran is my student, how could you cripple him with such despicable means. The student I personally taught, how could he fall from the top of the tower for no reason? Just kidding! Do you think I'm blind?"
At this time, Bran finally came back to his senses, looking at everything in front of him in astonishment. He looked at Liu Yuan in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice: "Teacher Galon, you just said... my current appearance was actually caused by the Three-Eyed Raven? But why is this? Shouldn't it exist to resist the White Walkers?" Before he finished speaking, tears were already welling up in his eyes.
Seeing this, Liu Yuan waved his arm gently, and Bran immediately felt his body lighten, and he was suspended in mid-air, easily breaking free from the roots that were tightly wrapped around him. "Blood Raven ah! Blood Raven, things have come to this, in front of me. Don't use these little tricks! Don't you want to tell Bran the truth? I'll tell you. In fact, to put it bluntly, resisting the White Walkers and plotting against you don't conflict at all. What he really covets is your young and fresh body. As for your miserable and tragic past... hehehe, I'm afraid he played a part in fueling the flames behind the scenes! Only by pushing you into a desperate situation and leaving you with nothing will you obediently listen to him and willingly trek thousands of miles to this extremely cold land beyond the Great Wall. Then, he will give you a seemingly sacred and noble but actually illusory goal, so that you can naturally accept the so-called 'fate' he has carefully woven for you! So the question is, what is he trying to do with so much effort? It's very simple, he just wants to live, and continue to live!"
The Three-Eyed Raven trembled with anger and roared: "Do you know what serious consequences this will bring? If I die, the long history I carry will gradually be forgotten by the world, and human civilization is very likely to decline or even become completely extinct!"
Seeing this situation, Liu Yuan sneered indifferently: "Hmph, you think too highly of yourself! I told you long ago that saving humanity depends on humanity itself. If they don't seize this opportunity, then it means that humans don't deserve to be saved! The White Walkers can't kill all humans, and the ancient Outer Gods also need the power of human faith, and besides, humans are not only in Westeros. You are not as important as you think, the carrier of civilization is always people, and you are just a poor worm trying to survive."
"No! You can't stop me!" The Three-Eyed Raven hissed, and a strange red light burst out from his only remaining eye. In an instant, the roots in the entire cave seemed to be driven by a mysterious force and began to wriggle violently. Countless roots, like sharp spears, stabbed towards Liu Yuan overwhelmingly.
Faced with this sudden attack, Liu Yuan was not afraid at all. He quickly raised his hand, and a transparent, invisible barrier appeared around his body.
