Sword and Magic and Taxi

The closer you are to the Black Castle, the closer you are to the Great Wall, the more obvious the feeling of magic runes. A power of rejection is obviously acting on Zhao Mai. Fortunately, this is not the kind of threat and injury that "dare to come close and you will die", but a gentle warning: "No strangers are allowed to pass here."

Except for this warning, no other problems have been discovered so far, but Zhao Mai has a feeling: if you try hard, you must die. Within the perception of the Force of Nature, the magical power of the Great Wall of Extremis is vast and unmatched, at least with Zhao Mai's current ability. So he obediently drove to the gate of the Black Castle, got out of the car and asked to enter.

"You repeat what are you here for?" The night watchman on the wall felt that he had misheard, it may be caused by the crude ale in Mole Village. He moved his stiff fingers, held the spear tighter, poked his head out of the city gate, and asked.

"My name is Mike and I come from the south. I want to ask the night watchman to agree and let me go to the north of the Great Wall to see the scenery there." Zhao Mai shouted to the guard on the gate, the voice was blown by the wind, and It must be in the castle.

"This kid must be crazy." Dyke, the night watchman, said to his companion next to him. "Go report it to the officers and see if you can open the door for him."

It happened that Sir Alisha Dane was in charge of the gate that day. He sent Dyke down to check the car and found nothing suspicious, so he opened the door and let Zhao Mai come in. An exquisite four-wheeled carriage, but only one horse drawn. There are almost no mud spots and snow on the body, and the horse does not seem to be affected by ice and snow. Is this still suspicious? He really wanted to beat Dyke, but he didn't expect the kid to be so blind with eyes and stupid in mind.

Holding the sword hilt in his hand, Sir Alisa called several guards to stand together in front of the coachman. The more he looked at him, the more suspicious he became. After all, no one can ignore the cold weather in the north. It shouldn't be such a relaxed way for people who drove a car against the wind and snow. "You said your name is Mike, what's your last name?"

"Zhao, my last name is very rare among you." Zhao Mai rubbed his hands and said, "May I ask you who you are?"

"Sir Alisha Dane, the chief instructor, is in charge of training the mud eggs to become night watchmen." Alisha nodded and said, "So, are you going to join the night watchman?"

"I don't have that idea yet. I just want to see the other side of the Great Wall." Zhao Mai replied, "It is said that there is a magnificent world of ice and snow outside the Great Wall. It would be a pity if you don't go to see it."

"Do you want to go and die?" Elisa laughed twice. He certainly won't let people who he feel suspicious want, so he shook his head and refused: "No, go back the same way, I can't let you pass."

At this moment, the small bell of the church rang. It was the bell for Mormon, commander of the Night Watch Corps, to summon the crowd. It was time to take the oath. All night watchmen, except for accidents on duty, have to witness this ceremony. Sir Alisha waved his hand to tell Zhao Mai where he came from, but how could Zhao Mai follow?

"Well, I want to visit the sacred ceremony of the night watchman, is this okay? So even if I go back, I can tell the story here to others and let more people understand and help the night watchman."

Alisha thought for a while, this is good for the night watchman, but she can agree. "You are not a night watchman and you cannot carry weapons. So if you want to enter the temple, you must let me check it!"

Zhao Mai nodded, drew two daggers from his side waist and threw them into the car, then opened his arms for him to search, anyway, his weapon was hidden in the bracelet, and there was nothing big on his body.

Instead of "inviting" Zhao Mai to visit, it is better to say "holding" Zhao Mai. He was standing at the back of the temple, and three brothers in black stood behind him, surrounding him in a semicircle. Inside the sanctuary, a ray of morning light pierced through the gap in the clouds, and it happened to shine in at this time, and it shot on the large crystal in the center of the south-facing window, changing into seven colors of rainbow light. A thin monk stood in the light, beside the altar, holding a lighted censer in his hand, and the smell of incense wafted over the whole room. The brothers of the night watchman, including the recruits, sat neatly on the benches, and no one happened to block Zhao Mai's sight.

Sir Alisha glared at Zhao Mai and walked through the assembled crowd to the stage. The senior officials of the night watch were all sitting on the stage. Hanging a long iron chain is the Bachelor of the Black Castle, an old man respected by everyone as "Master Yimeng". His eyes are chaotic and he has basically lost his sight, but he can still take care of everyone enthusiastically. There is always a mysterious and warm smile on his mouth, even to the always cold Alisha.

In addition to the chief instructor, there are three main persons in charge: Bowen Marcy, who manages general affairs, chief craftsman Assel Yawick, and Sir Jeremy Lake, who temporarily supervises the Rangers.

Above all the officials is the commander-in-chief of the night watch, Jeo Mormon. He came from Bear Island in the north, and was the patriarch of the Mormon family and the earl of Bear Island. After he got older and his children grew older, in order to give up his seat to his son, he chose to join the Night Watch and passed the title and territory to Jorah Mormon. Unexpectedly, his son violated the laws of the North, and did not have the courage to face the trial, choosing to abscond like a coward, fearing crime, which made Jeo Mormon deeply ashamed.

But the vow has been made, one day as a night watchman, and a night watchman till death. Bear Island is now taken care of by Jeo Mormon's sister, which at least makes him less worried. Because of his popularity, Mormon, who is respected as "Old Bear", was voted to become the commander of the night watchman. He has been leading this group of "almost forgotten" people in the Black Castle, guarding the great wall that separates civilization and wildness.

"When you came, you were not tolerated by the law. Poaching, rape, murder, stealing and abduction; when you came, you came alone, shackles, no friends, no honor. When you came, you were either rich or destitute. You come to be proud of the family, or only the name of an illegitimate child, or even unknown, but these are not important. You were only children when you came, and everything about that child is past. On the Great Wall, we all grew up as a family ."

"You have all learned the content of the oath. Please consider carefully before swearing. As soon as you put on black clothes, there will be no retreat. If you leave your post, you will only end up with the death penalty." Elder Xiong waited for a moment, and then continued: "Among you Does anyone want to leave? If so, leave now. We will never despise you for this."

Except for Zhao Mai's change of foot when the center of gravity swayed, no one moved a bit.

"Very good," Mormont said: "You still have half a day to think about it, because in the evening and before nightfall, you must make the final decision and come back here to swear in the presence of Brother Seleda. You guys. Are there any believers in the old gods?"

A man with black curly hair stood up. He was still a young boy: "Yes, my lord."

"Okay Jon, I think you might prefer to swear under the heart tree just like your uncle." Mormont said.

"Yes, sir." The Stark family believed in the old gods, and Jon did the same. The seven gods of the temple have nothing to do with him. Although only an illegitimate child, the blood of the ancestors still flows in his body.

"The Black Castle does not have a sacred tree forest, but there is one on the north side of the Great Wall of Extremis. Crossing the Great Wall, about two and a half kilometers north, you can find a forest of fish beam trees. The heart tree you are looking for is there, with the old gods you are looking for. ."

"My lord, that... I... can I go with him and take the oath under the tree of hearts?" Samwell Tully stood up, he was as wide as Jon.

"When did the Tully family believe in the old gods?" Mormon was a little strange.

"The Tully family has always been under the glory of the seven gods. I was born in the temple to baptize and name. My father and every generation of Tully before him is like this~www.NovelMTL.com~Sam trembles nervously. Among all the officials of the night watchman, Xiong Lao has the highest rank, and therefore scares him the most. "I think I will use the night watchman as my home in the future. The seven gods have never responded to my prayers, maybe...maybe the old **** said What about it? "

"That's it, kid, pay attention to safety on the way, and take care of each other." Mormont told Jon and Sam to sit down. He took a piece of paper from the Secretary General Bowen Marsi, and was about to read the text on it, when he saw an unseen stranger in the last row of the church raised his hand high, still shaking it in the air. Back and forth. "Huh? Who are you?"

With a scream, all the night watchmen turned their heads together and looked at Zhao Mai who was waving. "Oh, hello, my name is Mike. I just came from the south not long ago. I want to ask if I can be allowed to go north of the Great Wall of Impasse. I also want to see the fish beam."

Alisha clenched her fists and was about to stand up, but thought that Commander Mormon was still with her. He lowered his voice and whispered a few words to Mr. Xiong, and said what he knew and the question in his heart. Old Xiong shook his head and said to Zhao Mai: "You are welcome to come here as a guest, but I can't let you go north of the Great Wall. Only the rangers of the night watch can go there. Now, I want to continue this ceremony. "

The rune power of the Great Wall of Despair is still strong, Zhao Mai pouted and began to wonder, how can he agree? (To be continued.)
