However, Willas's subsequent words made him realize that he might be overthinking. Willas said in a deep voice, "Asshai is currently under siege by monsters from the Shadow Lands."
Lynd was stunned and asked urgently, "When did that happen?"
Willas replied, "A few days after you left Asshai."
Lynd's expression became solemn after hearing this. He knew that even if he wanted to rescue Asshai, it might be too late. Even if Nessario flew at full speed, cutting diagonally from the Wall through the Shivering Sea and Essos to reach Asshai, it would still take about ten days to reach Asshai, and that's if everything went smoothly and he didn't get lost. If he followed the coastline, it would take even longer.
Lynd then asked with concern, "How is Asshai doing now?"
"I don't know." Willas shook his head and said, "I can only sense movement from Asshai. This feeling is very vague, just like now, I only sense that the battle has ended, but I don't know whether the monsters from the Shadow Lands won or the mages of Asshai won."
Lynd asked confirmingly, "Did I cause the monsters from the Shadow Lands to riot by destroying Styria?"
"Yes." Willas replied bluntly.
"Why are the Others doing this?" Lynd wondered, "Destroying all black stones that can imprison gods, are they trying to prevent the cold god, whom the Others worship, from being imprisoned?"
Willas suddenly asked in confusion, "When did I say the person who instructed Euron was an Other?"
"It wasn't an Other who instructed him?" Lynd's expression froze in confusion, "Euron turned all the Ironborn of his Iron Fleet into wights and could control wights. Isn't that enough to explain his relationship with the Others?"
Willas explained, "The power to turn living beings into wights is not exclusive to the Others. In fact, the Others had already mastered this evil power even before they became Others."
Lynd quickly thought of a clue and said, "It's that ancient survivor who was frozen, whom Euron stole from the Sea King Palace Vault."
"Yes." Willas replied.
"The Sea King Palace Vault is very secure. It's difficult for ordinary people to get in, let alone take away such a large and heavy crystal coffin." Lynd looked at Willas and said in a deep voice, "You helped Euron steal the crystal coffin."
"Yes." Willas quickly admitted Lynd's guess.
Lynd then asked, "Are you and that ancient survivor collaborators now?"
"No, we are merely using each other." Willas denied, "I am using him to restrain the Others, and he wants to use me to help him rescue his people from the cold god."
Lynd asked doubtfully, "So you mean he was revived, not transformed into an Other?"
"To be precise, he was awakened. He wasn't dead, just sealed." Willas responded.
Lynd then asked, "Why didn't the Others transform him into an Other after awakening him?"
"I don't know." Willas replied, "Beyond the Wall is the cold god's domain. I can't see anything there."
Lynd asked in a deep voice, "You are at the Wall, he is Beyond the Wall. How do you communicate?"
"The Three-Eyed Raven." Willas said in a deep voice, "The Three-Eyed Raven introduced him to me, and the Three-Eyed Raven vouched for him, which is why I chose to cooperate with him."
Lynd also knew that the Three-Eyed Raven and the Others were mortal enemies. If that person was a helper of the Others, the Three-Eyed Raven would absolutely not have contact with him. This was the basis of Willas's trust in cooperating with that person.
Lynd was silent for a moment, then asked with an extremely serious expression, "You've used me to do so many things. Can I still trust you, Lord Willas?"
