Chapter 264 (1/2)
Vast wilderness.
In the wind and snow.
On King's Avenue covered with snow.
A huge convoy is moving forward slowly.
Snowy weather.
It's very common in the north where the winter season comes.
In months of long and difficult winter.
Such a windy and snowy day can sometimes last for the first half of a month or a month without stopping.
So, even in the snowy weather.
The huge motorcade going south to Junlin city will not stop.
The team will stop only at night, when they need to rest, or when there is a bad snowstorm.
At this point.
In the middle of a huge team.
Several figures are riding side by side, talking about something.
”Uncle Banyang, can you tell us about the great wall and the night watchman?”
At this time, Jon Snow turned to look at banyan stark in black.
He will soon go to the desperate Great Wall in the far north as a night watchman. Naturally, he is eager to know some information there.
”The Great Wall...”
When his nephew asked about this, banyan stark smiled and said, ”you may have heard of the Great Wall from many people, but it's not the real great wall.”
”Jon, when you arrive, you will understand.”
”So is the night watchman...”
Banyan stark opened his mouth with a smile on his face, but he didn't want to say anything more.
At its peak.
The northern aristocratic tradition regarded it as an honor to serve on the great wall and become a night watchman.
Many of the sons in the northern families who inherited the lower position were willing to wear black clothes. The shields with heraldry of the nobles were proudly hung in the shield Hall of the black castle.
But since the ghost began to disappear.
Instead, a new enemy: ”savage”.
(Savages: people living outside the desperate Great Wall call themselves ”free people”; but in the south of the Great Wall, they are considered to be ”savages” composed of lawless, uncivilized thieves, rapists and murderers.)
Gradually, the night watchman began to forget their real enemy, strange ghosts, and focused on guarding against savages.
With the passage of time, the purpose of establishing the night watchman Corps gradually faded, and due to the neglect of the Great Wall by the seven kingdoms, the manpower of the night watchman Corps became less and less.
At its peak, the night watchman regiment had 19 castles, with tens of thousands of soldiers.
Today, there are only three castles where the night watchman is still stationed.
The number of Legion soldiers is even less than 1000.
And it is this less than 1000 night watchman Legion mixed with all kinds of people from the seven kingdoms.
Among them are farmers; There are people who can't pay their debts; There are poachers, rapists, thieves and illegitimate children.
Only a few members come from aristocrats or families with titles, and most of them join the night watchman because they have to choose because they lose in the political struggle within the kingdom.
When the once glorious night watchman corps, the extremely glorious one was dressed in black.
Now it has become the location of the whole continent.
This had to make banyan stark, the chief ranger of the night watchman, feel a kind of sadness.
That's why he didn't want to talk about the night watchman in public.
Because the night watchman Corps now has a bad reputation.
Anyone with some insight knows.
”Morgan, why don't you go to the Great Wall with me?”
At this time, the little devil Tyrion Lannister suddenly looked at the figure riding on the tall horse beside him and suddenly spoke out.
”With you, we must be safer.”
The little devil joked.
Banyan stark and Jon Snow looked over. They naturally understood the meaning of the little devil's words and looked at Morgan.
”There will be a chance, but not now...”
Morgan shook his head and smiled.
The desperate Great Wall in the far north is called one of the great wonders of the world.
He wants to say he doesn't want to see it with his own eyes. Nature is false.
But now it's more important to go to Junlin city.
The great wall of despair is right there and can't run. Just go there at the right time.
”Morgan has an important task to go to King's landing this time. Just go again next time...”
Jon Snow answered for Morgan and continued, ”next time we come, we'll go to the great wall and have a drink...”
Seeing Morgan shaking his head, the little devil had guessed that he must follow Duke ed stark south.
At this time, I didn't feel much about Jon Snow's rescue.
But banyan stark smiled when Jon Snow said he was going to drink on the Great Wall.
Jon Snow then asked, ”what's the matter? Isn't drinking allowed on the Great Wall?”
Banyan Stark just smiled and shook his head, ”you'll know when you get to the Great Wall...”
At this time, the little devil Tyrion Lannister seemed to think of something. He turned to the chief ranger in black and asked, ”I heard that the Great Wall is made of ice. Is that true?”
Banyan stark shook his head. ”Not all. It's made of a mixture of stone and ice.”
”It's about 300 miles long and 700 feet high...”
”Above the Great Wall, there are cold winds and snow whistling all year round...”
Banyan stark explained, looked at his nephew and said with a smile, ”so, do you understand?”
ok
Listen to uncle Banyang.
Jon Snow understood immediately.
In such a bad environment, going to drink on the Great Wall is completely a sin.
I looked at my nephew who looked a little embarrassed.
Banyan stark smiled, ”it's nothing, Jon. You haven't been there. I don't know. It's normal.”
”But your idea is still very creative and fresh...”
”Ha ha...”
There are so many people chatting together to relieve the boredom.
Morgan's journey to junlincheng was not boring.
But four days later.
Pangran's motorcade reached a fork in the road.
A desperate Great Wall to the far north.
One goes all the way south to Junlin City, the capital of the seven countries.
Morgan is leaving Jon Snow, banyan stark, and Tyrion Lannister, the little devil who is going to pee on the Great Wall.
The weather is fine today.
The sky is bright with wind and no snow.
The huge motorcade leading to Junlin city continued to move forward slowly.
Behind the big team.
In front of the fork.
Several people are making a final farewell.
”Jon, it's a great honor to join the night watchman Corps...”
At the fork of the road, ed stark looked at the snow in the distance ahead and turned to Jon Snow beside him.
”We stark people have guarded the Great Wall for thousands of years...”
”You are also a member of the stark family...”
”Although you are not given my last name, you are my child...”
Jon Snow was silent at the words of his father.
Even though his father was no different from rob and Brandon, Jon was always bitter about his illegitimate son.
He often feels like an outsider.
Because of this, at the last welcome banquet to meet the king and queen.
After being discriminated against by Mrs. Caitlin Tully as an illegitimate child again.
With resentment, he decided to join the night watchman Corps whose birth was not important.
Jon Snow felt much better when he heard his father's words.
”Is my mother still there?”
Suddenly, the silent Jon Snow turned to his father ed stark and asked, ”is she still alive?”
”Does she know me?”
”Does she know where I'm going?”
”Do you know what I'm going to do?”
