Chapter 10: The Bear Island Chieftain
Jorah Mormont, the leader of Bear Island and the patriarch of the Mormont family. His second wife, Lynnice Hightower, thought Bear Island was a poor little shack. In order to make his wife happy, Jorah spent all the money and ended up with nothing. In order to make money, Jorah sold the poachers to the Terosi as slaves. And this is illegal in the North. Eddard Stark sentenced him to death. Instead of joining the Night's Watch and not succumbing to death, Jorah fled with Lynnice to Reece and became a mercenary knight.
This is Jorah in the original book, although there is more Evan in this world. But after Jorah gave up on him, his fate did not change in any way.
Jao Mormont didn't think that Evan had designed all this, and after some advice, he asked Bunyan Stark to escort him to Bear Island with five Rangers.
Before leaving Castle Black, Evan handed over his work. And told the twelve diehards of Geo Mormont. Although Jao is full of affection for his Night Watch brothers, he knows that these people can be bad for him, and intends to transfer them to the front line to participate in high-intensity combat.
Their fate was predictable, and Evan was relieved to leave Castle Black. Before leaving, he took not his own squire, Barlow, but Todd. Because of his literacy, Barlow was left by Evan to take care of Aemon, and by the way, he paved the way for him to take control of the Night's Watch in the future.
And the Todd he took away was the errand he used to contact the Night's Watch in the future. Bear Island is very close to Castle Black, and the few people arrived at Bear Island three days later.
The high-intensity rush caused Aiwen's physical condition to drop rapidly. But he didn't complain. He knew that what was next was the time for his imminent rise! After nine years of waiting, he finally took the first step to ingest the right, the leader of Bear Island, the patriarch of the Mormont family, and the brother of the Night's Watch Legion!
Eddard Stark, in his mid-30s, has a long face, dark brown hair, and gray eyes. The well-trimmed beard has begun to turn gray. What Ai Wen saw was a typical northern man, unsmiling, taciturn, burly, and looking firm and powerful.
"Hello, Lord Stark! I'm Evan Mormont! β
Ed nodded, and said, "Aven, I believe you already know what happened, your father Jorah Mormont broke the laws of the kingdom and sold slaves. I sentenced him to death, but by the time I arrived, he had fled with his wife, Lineth, and his whereabouts are unknown. What are your thoughts on this? β
Evan opened his mouth and said, "My lord, since he has broken the laws of the kingdom, I have no idea that everything should be done according to the laws of the kingdom. β
Ed nodded, letting Evan go down. Then he called Bunyan, his younger brother, who was escorting Evan back to Bear Island.
Jeo Mormont had apparently thought about this and asked Bunyan to escort him back just so that Bunyan could say nice things in front of Ed. Evan thought about this early on, and he complained about his neglect by Jorah Mormont and his abuse by Lynnice Hightower.
Ed must have also inquired about Bear Island, and if Evan had a special respect for Jorah, it was uncertain whether Bear Island's inheritance would be in his hands.
Now Ed is looking for Bunyan Stark, apparently to be sure. Evan left the room and went to the Mormont family's residence. He was greeted by Jao Mormont's sister, his aunt Maggie Mormont!
Madame Maggie Mormont, a legendary woman on Bear Island, has a husband who is a wealthy nobleman, a minor nobleman who has no inheritance rights on Bear Island. So she kept Mormont's surname. If it weren't for Aven's appearance, she would be the heir to Bear Island next.
Her legend on Bear Island is that she gave birth to four children, all girls. Daisy Mormont, her eldest daughter. Alexanne Mormont, her second daughter. Leila Mormont, her third daughter. Jorère Mormont, her fourth daughter.
Now she is pregnant with her fifth daughter, who is the little bear girl who amazed everyone as soon as she appeared!
"Grandma, it's been a long time, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't you see that I'm nine months pregnant now? You're always like this, you speak politely, and you don't have the spirit of a Bear Island man at all! β
Evan opened his mouth and said, "You know my physique, I can't speak as loudly as you!" This is the letter that Grandpa asked me to hand over to you. β
Before he left, Jao Mormont gave Evan a letter to give to his sister. The content of Jao did not hide himself, that is, he made his sister Madame Maggie loyal to him.
Mei Ji really doesn't like him, he looks weak and weak, and he is indeed not suitable for survival in this era of the supremacy of force. But after reading Jao's letter, Maggie's eyes changed when she looked at herself.
The letter clearly described the changes that Evan had made to the Night's Watch this year, of course, there was something that must have been hidden, but it was enough to impress Meggie: "Avene, I never found you to have such wisdom!" β
Evan suddenly changed his momentum and said solemnly, "That's because you've never treated me well, Maggie Mormont." Now tell me, will you be loyal to me? β
Maggie didn't expect the thin Evan to have such an imposing momentum, and his thin body seemed to fall down as soon as the wind blew it. But now it seems that the whole person has the momentum of a superior person, and he is not angry and arrogant. It makes people look awe-inspiring and trusting. She knew that it was time for the principle, and if she didn't agree now, Aven, who inherited Bear Island in the future, would definitely suppress her. It won't kill her, but it won't make her feel better.
Maggie Mormont knelt down on one knee: "I, the son of the ancestors, Maggie Mormont, swear before the old gods that I am willing to be loyal to you, swear to follow you to the death, and if I violate, I am willing to accept the punishment of the Divine Mansion, please accept my allegiance!" β
Evan spoke, "Maggie Mormont, I am willing to accept your allegiance!" β
This allegiance is not only a change in concept, but also a change in status. She acknowledges Aven's status as Lord of Bear Island.
The largest force on Bear Island except for the lord was subdued, and Evan had greater confidence in the hearts of the people of Bear Island in the future. It's just that at this time, I don't know what happened to my cheap father who has ruined the family!
In the evening, with the help of Maggie, Ed and his party were entertained. And Evan swears allegiance to Eddard. The guests of this banquet were happy, and it also made everyone realize that Aiwen, a boy who was only nine years old, already had the courage and responsibility of a lord!
In Ed's group, Evan saw a familiar person. Teen wolf lord Robb Stark. Probably due to their peers, it didn't take long for the two to get acquainted.
Robb introduces Evan to Winterfell, introducing his family. Evan introduces Robb to the situation of the Great Wall of Desperation and the scenery outside the fortress.
Of course, under the processing of art, Evan describes himself as a person who, although physically weak, has a free heart. Outside the expedition, I rubbed shoulders with wild people, met ice wolves, and saw children of the forest......
It is estimated that soon when Robb sees his younger siblings, he will tell them about his heroic deeds. All Evan has to do now is make his name spread in the North.
