Sword and Magic and Taxi

Old Xiong opened the note and began to announce the position to each recruit. Sam got his wish and became a clerical officer, and his specific job was to take care of Master Yimon. This was the best arrangement he could think of. Gülen and Piper joined the Rangers, which was their wish, and they were very happy about it. But Jon Snow, who had always wanted to become a Ranger, was assigned as a clerk to serve Xiong Lao Mormon.

This means fetching water and food for him, washing and burning fire, running errands to deliver letters, which means that he cannot become the "real warrior" of the Rangers like the uncle he has always admired. Moreover, he believes he is capable of being a ranger in all aspects of swordsmanship, riding, archery, and tactics.

Clerk? After the others left, he sat in the sanctuary with Sam Will Tully and the talkative singer Dalyen, still in a trance. The clerical officer serves people, Sam wants to serve the bachelor, Dalyen wants to go to the East China Sea to serve the businessmen, and he wants to serve others.

He was very dissatisfied with the result and almost left angrily because of it. The Stark family has no place for illegitimate children, at least in the eyes of Mrs. Stark. The night watchman is his last hope of making contributions. He doesn't want to cut butter, sew clothes and spend his whole life like a girl.

He left the temple with sadness and confusion, and Sam followed him. This rare and wise man in the Tali family will admonish his good friend and let him understand the deep meaning behind this arrangement for him: following the old man day and night, although he does need to serve him, he makes every decision and makes every decision. In a meeting, Jon will be by his side every time he arranges affairs, arranges battles and patrols, and even writes letters to princes from all over the seven countries. "Jon, his purpose is to bring his ‘heir’ with him, so that you can learn from observations and observations. He wants to train you to be the successor of the commander-in-chief!"

Jon was just an underage child. After thinking about it calmly, he knew that his friend was right. He was too childish to understand the deep meaning behind this arrangement. He will feel ashamed and embarrassed after he wants to understand, but he will also work hard to be a clerical officer and grow up as soon as possible.

The vigil was busy arranging recruit positions, but Zhao Mai had nothing to do. Old Xiong said at the meeting that he was a guest, but Black Castle did not arrange a room for him. Zhao Maixin said: Maybe when they are not too busy, it is better to ask General Secretary Bowen? But for now, it's better to wait and see the oath ceremony.

After a period of time, recruits returned to the sanctuary one after another, and under the auspices of Brother Seleda, they pronounced the sacred oath before the seven gods. Zhao Mai has been waiting to watch a scene, so no matter what others say, he just doesn't move.

The vow is solemn and strong, "The long night is coming, and I will watch from now on until I die. I will not marry a wife, will not have a land, will not have children. I will not wear a crown, and will not compete for honor. I will do my duty and live and die. I am the sword in the dark, the guard on the Great Wall, against the cold flames, the rays of dawn, the horn to awaken the sleeper, and the shield to guard the kingdom. I dedicate my life and glory to the night watchman, tonight, night It's all night."

Zhao Mai was not sure whether the brilliance of the seven gods would shine, but the power of the Great Wall of Despair had a feeling. The mighty magical city wall splits a part of its power, turns into runes and falls from the sky, penetrates into the night watchman's chest, and then disappears. There is both the power of authentication and the ability of witnessing. In a short moment, Zhao Mai could only perceive this point, and he couldn't see it in detail.

The oath is a powerful force, and the oath of the night watchman is even more unusual. Zhao Mai guessed that if he violated his oath, a magical creature such as the Great Wall of Extremis would definitely respond. Since there is indeed a connection between this oath and the Great Wall of Despair, it proves from the side that his theory of passing through the wall is valid. The things the night watchmen do and say can be sensed by the Great Wall, so "remote door opening" has the basis for realization.

It is not difficult to be a night watchman, now they lack people! There are only three permanent residences in the nineteen castles. Now the scale of the night watchman is less than one-tenth of what it used to be. There are loopholes everywhere in the defense line of the Great Wall. Zhao Mai thinks that his skills can easily pass the training, and the coach Alisa can't help him. But this step of swearing made Zhao Mai a little worried. God knows what else the power of the oath includes? !

What happens when you break your oath and become a deserter? Zhao Mai thought for a while. It seems that none of them will end well. How much of this is due to self-blame, and how much is caused by magic? No wives, no fiefs, no children. Dad can beat himself to death without any ghosts. Zhao Mai thought of this and shook his head, preferring to give up all learning opportunities here, rather than swear this oath.

With this preparation in mind, Zhao Mai left the temple. The night watchman of the Black Castle looked at him as an outsider with curious eyes, while he looked at the Great Wall with curious eyes. It is impossible to approach the Great Wall from the ground by car. If he leaves the car, he can't even walk to the foot of the Great Wall, let alone touch the Great Wall. Zhao Mai only tried a little bit, and was immediately infested by the endless chill, and his whole body began to become stiff.

It was a state where the natural force and psychic powers were frozen, like death rushing toward the face. Only by retreating quickly can it be resolved, and fortunately, there are no sequelae after resolution. Therefore, for him, the Great Wall of Despair can only be viewed from a distance and not scornful.

"What are you looking at? Do you want to go up and see?" The speaker is "The Melancholy Eddie", whose full name is actually Addison Tollett, a waiter with gray hair and a depressed face by nature Expressions. "I have never understood one thing, whether it is more terrifying to be crushed to death under the wall, or to stand on top of it and wait for it to collapse and fall to death."

"You can only die once, so you can never know." Zhao Mai replied.

"So that's why you want to go up under the wall, and come down after you go up?"

"Actually, if you stay at half the height of the Great Wall of Despair, would you say you were smashed to death first or fell to death first?" Zhao Mai thought this person was very interesting, so he said deliberately.

Eddie shrugged and said, "I guess he would freeze to death first, or starve to death, what do you think?"

Zhao Mai shook his head. He didn't know how to answer, so he could only change the subject: "Have you taken the oath?"

"I'm going to ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Anyway, sooner or later." Eddie curled his lips and pointed at Zhao Mai's carriage: "You come from the south, do you bring anything delicious? I can see you It's here to do things, and our night watchmen are willing to accept bribes."

"Then after you take the oath, can you say something to me:'I allow you to pass through the Great Wall of Impasse'?"

"It's not a big problem, just a whole ham will do. I don't ask too much." Eddie sniffed.

Zhao Mai gave him a high-five, then went to the night watchman's kitchen with the money bag and bought a whole ham for thirty times the price outside. After a while, Eddie shrank his neck and walked over.

"I allow you to pass through the Great Wall of Impasse." He said solemnly, and then reached for the ham.

Zhao Mai thanked him, and then walked to the Great Wall. This time he was able to get close, and he could even touch the Great Wall, but he still couldn't pass. Eddie’s words are indeed useful, but he is just a recruit and his class is too low.

"Old Xiong, it seems that I have to rely on you." Zhao Mai rubbed his nose and left the cold city wall. (To be continued.)
