34 The Great Wall of Desperation
"It's cold!"
In the early hours of the morning, the bonfire shook in front of you, emitting puffs of thin black smoke.
Alan squatted in front of the fire and kept rubbing his hands, but he couldn't stop the uninterrupted cold infiltration around him.
"Didn't you say that it had warmed up, why was it still so cold?"
He muttered a little tremblingly, looking rather annoyed.
When the Great Wall patrols at night, few people pay attention to it, so it's easy to be lazy.
Recently, people around me have said that the Great Wall at night is not as cold as it used to be, and Ailan will appear here.
However, he now thinks that this is a lie at all, and if he knew that it was still so cold, he should not have promised his companion to change shifts.
"It's really cold today, and I don't think the savages over there can't stand it."
The young man guarding the Great Wall next to him replied.
The height problem, the wind here is constant, the other party's brown and black shawl hair swayed and fluttered because of this, and the fluffy bear hair around the neck also rippled like a haystack.
He's Jon. Snow, the bastard son of the Starks.
Everyone in the Great Wall knows this.
Although Alan is a newcomer to the night watch, he has known this since the first day he came to the Great Wall.
So he wondered why the illegitimate child would come here for no reason to suffer. Although his background is not very formal, the illegitimate son of the dignified duke's family is still much stronger than ordinary people.
Of course, what is more curious is why the person in front of him, who has the ability to avoid this kind of hard work, doesn't do it.
"If you want me to say, there are more than 10,000 savage night watchmen on the Great Wall now, they are so frost-resistant, how good it would be to arrange for them to keep vigil more, we have to follow us." Alan muttered, grumbling to the boy in front of him, "I feel like I can't even move my fingers." ”
"Most of the nineteen castles on the entire Great Wall are garrisoned by savages, which is already very risky." Jon replied that the secret path was useless, and that the ghosts had been wiped out by the adults.
Alan didn't know what the other party was thinking at the moment, and when he saw this person whose face was red and shivering from the cold, he finally couldn't help but speak.
"Find Lord Ironleg to arrange, you won't have to continue to suffer here, I dare say that if you do go to him, you won't even have to run up to patrol during the day."
Maybe it's because of his identity, or maybe it's because he ran to the depths of the land of eternal winter together, and "lived and died together", the captain of the messenger's private army took good care of the one in front of him.
However, Jon only shook his head: "I'm just an ordinary night watchman, and the night watch should do the night watchman's business." ”
Alan didn't say anything when he heard this, thinking that this guy was not very old and pedantic.
He couldn't help but think of the chaos that had arisen not long ago because of the arrival of a blonde knight.
When the notorious knight arrived at the Wall, he drew hostility from many people, and some even provoked him.
However, just when the situation was about to be out of control, his dwarf brother directly pulled Lord Iron Legs to support the scene, directly suppressing all the sources of chaos.
To say that this person with iron legs is actually nothing, he is just an ordinary soldier from the Horror Castle, but he can't bear to have more than a thousand private soldiers behind him.
And more than that, in addition to the other group of night watchmen in the Great Wall, more than 1,000 people controlled by the mysterious red-robed woman also joined forces with these private soldiers, and if they wanted to provoke, even the current bear old Mormont had to weigh it.
Of course, the main thing is that it is said that the legendary lord will return to the Great Wall in a few days, and if his people are moved at this time, they will really come back by then, and you will have nowhere to reason if you are killed by one look.
Alan shuddered at the thought of the rumors he had heard since joining the Night's Watch.
After all, the two-headed man Sading swaggered past their training ground last night.
So Alan thinks that the person in front of him is not in his right mind.
Obviously, he can talk to that adult, and he obviously has a good relationship with Iron Legs, but he let himself suffer this current sin.
If there is a relationship with it, then it is not the same as nothing?
Ellen, a former businessman, scoffed at this.
It's just that this belongs to someone else, and no matter how much he thinks about it, it's useless.
……
After a moment of reluctance in front of the fire, the two men stood up and began to patrol the surroundings.
It's basically just a show, or in such a cold environment, if you don't move much, you may be frozen to death at some point.
The freezing temperature makes it difficult to open your mouth again, and the time away from the campfire is really hard, but when the physical activity starts, it is a little better.
Time passed, and Alan and his companions walked and rested, and so on. Waiting for the dawn of the changing of the guard.
It's just that just when the sky was flooded with a touch of fish belly white, dispelling the darkness and coldness of the world, there was a sudden panicked cry not far away.
Hearing the unusual movement, the two hurriedly turned their heads and found that there were two wild men in heavy animal skins pointing into the distance.
"What are they looking at?"
Wildlings generally have a strong line of sight, so Alan is a little puzzled by this.
After looking sideways at his companion, he noticed that the other party also looked strange. It's just that this doesn't affect him from picking up the bow and arrow he is carrying behind his back.
No matter what it is, if there is an accident, then it is natural to prepare early.
Alan followed suit, looking out in the direction of the white forest in the distance.
So after a while, he saw something special.
It seemed to be a big black bird.
This thought flashed through Ailan's mind as a southerner, but it didn't take long for him to suddenly purse his lips.
That's not a bird at all, whose bird's eyes will glow?
Just as he was thinking this, a stunned voice suddenly appeared in his ears.
"Dragon!?"
Snow beside him was obviously more knowledgeable than himself, and Alan looked sideways and found that his face looked very panicked at the moment.
It is said that this person has seen dragons, so is that really a dragon?
Alan thought so, and the surrounding savages also noticed the dragon's appearance, so there was an uproar, and the warning bell was immediately ringed.
The loud sound instantly spread around the Great Wall, and the Black Castle below, which had been bathed in the dim light of the early morning, was like an elk that had been awakened, and it didn't take long for the black dot-like figures to spread out from their respective residences and begin to rush towards the top of the Great Wall.
However, at this moment, the dragon had descended in front of the Great Wall.
The direction was far away from where Alan and the others were, so he didn't really see it, but he noticed that the wild man who was about to shoot with a bow suddenly screamed and fled in panic.
This made Alan feel a little funny, and he ran away without a fight, the wild man was really timid enough.
But then he didn't have the heart to laugh at others.
"Why are you going?"
Seeing that his companion suddenly turned around and left, Alan subconsciously pulled him.
"Reinforcements, of course!" Snow replied quickly, and quickly broke free from Alan's pull and ran to the location of the incident.
As a businessman, Alan didn't want to put himself in danger, but many old night watchmen around him quickly ran by, and if he didn't go with him, he would inevitably be denounced afterwards, so he gritted his teeth and followed.
The crowd around him that quickly gathered also made him feel a little comforted, feeling that there should be no big surprise with so many people.
However, when he found that Snow, who had approached in advance at the end of his sight, suddenly trembled and stopped, Alan's mood unconsciously dissipated with fright.
His pace slowed down because of this, and he felt a little bad.
There were a lot of people in front of him, so he couldn't see what was going on at all. But in fact, I don't need to see it clearly.
When Alan arrived at a certain location nearby, an inexplicable sense of horror suddenly grew in his heart.
It was like peeing in the middle of the night when he suddenly saw a strange ghost, which made him tremble all over his body, and he felt the urge to turn around and run away without caring about anything.
He tried to suppress this inexplicable feeling, but it didn't work at all, and it became worse and worse as time passed.
Eventually, he was even like the people in front of him, trembling all over, and his legs gradually weakened.
"What the hell is going on! What's in there!? ”
He panicked and tried to turn and run, but his legs cramped and lost all strength.
So he could only stay in the crowd like this, and he couldn't walk if he wanted to, and his mood gradually despaired.
……
If Alan's gaze could pass through the crowd, then he could clearly see a black dragon with a hideous shape and blue eyes prostrate on the ground, and the nearest black-robed night watchmen on both sides of the Great Wall collapsed unconscious.
The farther ones looked at the tall figure on the dragon's back, half frightened and half horrified, and their mouths were open and their voices trembled.
"It's God, God, God......"
