Two majestic soldiers of Winterfell, escorting a ragged Night's Watchman, in the hands of the Winterfell's Lord's tall guards, this Night's Watch looked so thin, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, his eyes were blank, his face was as if it hadn't been washed for a long time, and there were yellow stains on it, and his mouth was like a sister-in-law.

"I'm so stupid, really, I just knew that there were wild people outside the Great Wall in winter, I didn't know that there were ghosts there, and there were ghosts ......"

Bran shook his head, this is scared silly, in fact, when I watched the show, I wondered, why this night watchman was not killed, even if he had a mental breakdown, there was no reason for the strange ghost to let him go, right?

The only possibility is that the stranger asked him to come back and say, hey, we strangers are back. A team of three people, kill two, keep one, the body language that threw the head at him was, take it back, I'm going to send a message, well, there's nothing wrong with thinking so. The psychological assumption of the strange ghost should be like this: "Huang Jun asked me to bring you a .........."

But the night watchman was too timid to take his head, so he turned and ran. Bran estimated that the strange ghost in the back must be a meme of Erkang raising his hand and don't go.

"Don't go, put these two people on their heads, I want you to deliver a message. I don't want to kill you."

"It's inconvenient not to be able to speak. Hey, forget it, it's the same when he goes back by himself, although he doesn't hold a person's head to talk domineering, but he finally lets people know that we are coming, and these two corpses can also convert two miscellaneous soldiers, right? Knowing that we are coming back, we should quickly send a dragon to investigate it, we have to catch a dragon to break the defense by the way, and we can't get through it without the Dragon Flame Great Wall not melting."

The above is the inner monologue of the strange ghost.

But I didn't think that the night watchman would go crazy when he returned, and he escaped from the night watchman's camp, and kept saying that there were strange ghosts and strange ghosts, but no one believed him, they all thought he was crazy, well, he was a little crazy now.

Bran glanced at him again, what to do? If this continues, I'm going to watch a live-action beheading show soon. Definitely. If this is an absolute wave of 666 on the fast hand, Lao Tie has no problem, double click to take a wave of gifts. But Bran didn't dare to look at it. Well, it's time to save the poor man.

Just as he was thinking, the night watchman, who was trembling all over his body just now, suddenly calmed down.

"I know I'm a deserter, I know I've broken my oath, but everybody has the right to know, what I've seen, I've seen strange spirits, and if you can give a word to my family, tell them I'm sorry for them, tell them I'm not a coward."

The Night's Watch calmly looked at the Lord of Winterfell, Duke Stark, at the last moment of his life, as if at this moment, fear had disappeared from his body, perhaps knowing that he would not escape death, but calmed down. Don't be scared anymore

Duke Ned looked at the night watchman and sighed lightly, he didn't believe the night's watchman's nonsense, even if it seemed normal now, he thought it was just a dying man's last quibble.

It was nothing more than an ambush by a savage that scared the kid out of his mind, Ned thought.

Bran looked at his indifferent father, and couldn't guess what he was thinking, not to mention that Ned later told his brother Bunyan his speculation at the king's dinner, and the Stark family was notoriously stubborn, tendoned, and what they believed, no matter how much others said, they couldn't change their minds.

To be honest, when Bran watched the show, he felt that the family emblem of the Stark family should not be a wolf, the wolf is a fierce and cunning social creature, but looking at the style of the Stark family, the family emblem should be a stone, if you have to compare it to an animal, it should also be a bear, but the bear has been used by the small family on Bear Island, or it is really a match.

But the Stark family is really not a match for wolves, except for Arya, all the Stark family in this plot, which one is like a wolf, Duke Ned and Jon are brainless, and the eldest brother Robb is a lover who thinks in the lower half of his body, and he is a dead hand to the old man Stark who is loyal to him, just because this old man wants to kill Jaime to avenge his son.

In the end, everyone betrayed his relatives and left, and in the end there was no one to help him, Sansa cried and cried like his mother, loved vanity, liked handsome like his aunt, and the original Bran climbed up and down like a monkey, as for the youngest Rickon, he was only six years old, and he didn't have much of a role, so he didn't know who he looked like.

But it doesn't matter, the youngest son of the Stark family usually goes to the Night's Watch troops, like who doesn't matter, this family has no wolf nature, but a small skin, Ramsboton is like a wolf, fierce and cunning, killing his father and taking the throne, more like the young wolf in the wolf pack biting the old wolf king to become the new wolf king.

Is it because his father Ned is not the first heir, so he has not been cultivated since childhood? Bran touched his chin and thought, but the old duke and his uncle are not very smart, and they don't nest in Winterfell to be their own grass king. Instead, the sheep went into the tiger's mouth to send the mad king's head. How confident the mentally ill are that they won't kill them.

Seeing that his father was no longer speech, and had silently pulled out the nearly 2-meter-long giant sword with a whole wolf skin as a scabbard and needed the help of the attendant to draw out the cold ice, Bran knew that he had to speak quickly, otherwise he would see people's heads grunt to the ground in a while, and he would be disgusted to death by eating barbecue for dinner.

"Father," Bran cried out

At this time, Ned Stark was about to pronounce the death sentence of the Night's Watch Ranger, and he wielded the greatsword with his own hands, and the Stark family tradition that those sentenced to death should wield the longsword himself.

They believe that the death penalty is a solemn thing, and everyone's life deserves to be respected, and the people of the Stark family can sentence others to death and do it themselves, on the one hand, they can exercise the wolf-like will of the Stark family members, and on the other hand, if the sentenced person has any grievances, as a benevolent lord, he can personally listen to the grievances and avoid unjust, false and wrongful convictions. If there is no grievance, they will end the life of the criminal in the cleanest way possible, without any pain, which is also a mercy.

Suddenly stopped by Bran. Duke Stark was very angry, if you said this when you swung your sword, would I have flashed to my waist?

Well, Duke Stark was angry not because of that, but because Brandon interrupted this ancient traditional ritual, which is very sacred. But as a fair and strict father. Duke Stark didn't ignore Bran. He had to listen to what Brandon had to say first, and as for the punishment, it was a matter of later. Well, it's still young, it's good to give 10 whips, and don't let Catherine know, she's too used to children. "What's the matter, Bran?"

There was no joy or anger in Duke Stark's cold voice

Bran didn't know that he had been whipped by his stern father.

"According to the laws of the Seven Kingdoms, the escaped Night's Watch is to be beheaded, right?" He asked

"That's right, didn't you listen to Maester Lewyn's class? This is a well-known thing. “

Duke Ned was a little angry in his voice, and Jon saw something was wrong behind him, and tried to hold Bran and prevent him from talking.

Bran ignored it and continued, "Then, according to the laws of the Seven Kingdoms, can this Night's Watch apply for a jousting trial in the name of the Seven Gods? See if he is guilty or not? ”

Ned was stunned, of course he knew this law, but for thousands of years, there had never been a night watchman who had escaped and been beheaded before applying for a joust trial.

If a nobleman commits a crime, if he is unwilling to be executed, he can apply to his lord for a trial by joust, if he survives the contest and proves that the seven gods do not want him to die, then naturally, his crime can be forgiven by God, and God's will is greater than the law, and this nobleman can be acquitted.

And the commoners generally did not apply for the trial of the competition, most of the civilians were illiterate, and many did not know this law, even if they knew this law, a civilian farmer who had never been trained in swordsmanship from the chaff to the food, could not win the noble knight lord who had eaten meat in the competition, rather than being tortured and killed in the competition, it was better to be beheaded cleanly, at least there was no pain at all.

Of course, if this farmer, who has not been trained since childhood, really wins the knight master, the lord will also be very happy, after all, it proves that this farmer is talented, both physical fitness and combat awareness are much higher than the knight who was killed, and with a little training, he can fight for the lord.

Give the farmer the title of knight's squire and let him serve him, and as for his crimes, of course, he chooses to forgive him.

This law was clearly set up to protect the interests of the nobles, if the nobles committed a crime, they had a chance to escape the law, and if the commoners committed a crime, 99% would die, and the remaining 1% would give the lord a useful killing knife.

Duke Stark is also a veteran nobleman, and he naturally knows this law better than anyone else, but it seems that no one in the Night's Watch has escaped with this law to get beheaded, and the nobleman in the black robe is himself a young man in pursuit of honor, and even if he really does a deserter, he is embarrassed to bring it up. A true thick black aristocracy. Nor will I be a night watchman. Civilian night watchmen, let alone none, civilian night watchmen are generally criminals, thieves and even ** people. If you really dare to mention a jousting trial, you should do so before you are sent to the night watch.

"He broke his oath."

Duke Ned Stark felt the veins in his head throb and gritted his teeth.

Bran smiled lightly, ha, it's time to show true eloquence.

Turning to the Night's Watchman, who had already been pushed to the ground, he said, "What is your name, Mr. Nightwatch?" “

"Please don't call me sir, my little adult, my name is Will." The night watchman on the ground seemed stunned, but when Bran asked him. Regardless of his posture on the ground, he quickly lowered his head and replied humbly.

"Well, Will, can you still recite your Night's Watch Oath?"

"Of course." Will looked up suddenly, his eyes seemed to sparkle, and his humble expression became serious.

"The long night is coming, and I will keep watch from now on until I die. I will not have a wife, nor a fief, nor a child. I will not wear a crown, and I will not compete for honor. I will do my duty and die in my life. I am the sword in the darkness, the guard on the Wall. I am the flame against the cold, the light at dawn, the trumpet that awakens the sleeper, the shield that guards the kingdom. I give my life and glory to the night watch, tonight, night and night. ”

By the time he uttered the last sentence, Will, who had been pushed to the ground, had already stood up, and the Winterfell soldier who was holding him next to him seemed to be infected by the emotions of the night watchman named Will. did not stop him, but watched silently.

Bran watched the night watchman Will roar the ancient and solemn oath, and he had a sense of déjà vu when he saw the back of the Bright Sect "burn my body, and the holy fire will burn". Shaking his head, he shook the thought out of his mind and asked his father.

"Father, is he married?" "Nope"

"You gave him a fief?" "How is that possible?"

"And he gave birth?" "Nor at all"

"He's got a crown" "What nonsense are you talking about"

"Will, you came and told my father, what are you doing here?" Bran ignored his angry father, who was jumping to his feet, and turned to Will to ask

"I'm ......" Will looked hideous as if he had remembered something terrible again

"I saw the ghosts, no, the white ghosts, the blue ones, dead, all dead, dead, resurrected." Will's eyes began to drift, and he became incoherent, "The commander doesn't believe me, he doesn't believe me, I, say I, coward, people need to know, I saw a strange ghost, people need to know, know ......" Uh, that called the commander, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a cloud possession.

"Ranger Will!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Bran quickly shouted loudly at the poor young man who was about to go crazy

"To," Will replied reflexively.

"Calm down," Bran unceremoniously ordered, for the soldiers, as long as they carry out the order, they can calm down a little and distract themselves, just now because of the fear of being beheaded and dying, now they can't scare the big sword again, they can only order, Bran is not a psychiatrist, this kind of war psychological trauma that belongs to the army psychologist will not be treated.

"Father, it's already obvious." Bran stepped forward and said respectfully to his father.

"This Ranger saw a suspicious ghost, or a wild man disguised as a strange ghost killed his companion, or a wild man dressed as a dead man and pretended to be dead to scare people with a resurrection, and he thought it was a strange ghost, so he ran back to report it, but no one believed him. He thought he was a coward who left his companions and ran away, but he thought it was a stranger, and thought that everyone should know that the stranger had returned, and he saw a stranger, and he felt that the people of Black Iron Castle didn't believe him, so he came to Winterfell and reported it to you, and he explained it to you just now. It's a pity that you don't believe him either, and you have to cut off his head. ”

Bran smiled and teased his honest father. "As for leaving Blackiron Keep to report to Winterfell, does it count as turning your back on the Night's Watch and escaping?" Bran paused. "Uncle Bunyan seems to come back often, doesn't he?"
