"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. ”

This is the oath of the night watchman, Gu Weiqing was wearing a light cyan wolf skin coat, with a short sword pinned to his waist, listening to the oath of the three poachers, after a while, the three of them finished the oath, and walked in front of Gu Weiqing with a grin: "Little Aiwen, this is north of the Great Wall, maybe we will meet savages on the way back." It doesn't matter if you're an adult or a child, they'll catch you and eat you! ”

This is the world of a song of ice and fire, which he knew about when Gu Weiqing was a year old. Because he has a name, and it's called Evan Mormont! He had a father named Jorah Mormon! He had a grandfather named Jao Mormont!

So after he came to this world, he deliberately forgot the name of his previous life, and now his name is Evan Mormont: "Todd, don't scare me, this time in order to let you, the recruits of the northern belief in the "Old Gods", take the oath successfully, but send five rangers to guard. The savages stuffed here are just a group of peasants, and even if they encounter a hundred peasants, they will not dare to come up and attack when they see a few of us! ”

Todd smiled, "Aven, then don't forget that there are also strangers, ghouls, and giants. They won't be scared to see us. ”

Evan blushed and said, "Ahem, ahem, Todd, then you have to be careful when you pass by the Ghost Forest, don't meet them and pee your pants!" ”

After Evan finished speaking, several people present burst into laughter, and even Bunyan Stark, who had been keeping a straight face, smiled. Everyone didn't expect Todd to be ready to tease little Aven, but he was molested instead.

Bunyan Stark became serious, and he said to the others: "Don't make a fuss, hurry up, it's still some time before Castle Black, and it's not good to be in the dark." ”

In this icy and snowy place outside the fortress that could kill at any time, everyone rode on their horses and rushed towards the black castle without any delay!

There is only a small sanctuary in Castle Black, and there is no sacred wood. Believers in the Old Gods had to travel beyond the Great Wall, deep into the Ghost Forest, and take the Night's Watch Oath in a small grove of fish beams left behind by the Children of the Forest.

Among the people who took the oath this time, including Todd, were from the north, and they believed in the old gods, so they had to come to the outside of the city to take the oath. Ai Wen also took the opportunity to come outside the fortress to familiarize himself with the terrain in advance.

Black Castle is not a castle in the true sense of the word, it has no walls on its east, west, and south sides, and only the north side is the Great Wall. It consists of several stone towers and wooden forts. Under the fort and towers, there are underground passages called "worm paths" that connect them to each other. It is rarely used in the summer, but in the winter it is the only passage that connects the castle to the rest of the castle.

It took them half a day to return to Castle Black, and they were greeted by the enthusiastic Night's Watch and Aven's grandfather, Jao Mormont!

Jeo Mormont doesn't look very old yet. The long hours of exercise made him look like a middle-aged man in his forties, but those who are familiar with him know that he is now an old man close to sixty years old. I've been at the Great Wall for more than thirty years.

All the men in black have great respect for the man in front of them, and here he is the backbone of all the men in black!

"Ahem, ahem, ahem." The sound of coughing echoed through Castle Black, and everyone followed the sound to see a pale, sickly-looking little boy, riding a horse taller than him, struggling to maintain his position. Don't let yourself fall.

But the accident happened, and the thin body could no longer hold on, and slipped down the side of the horse. Fortunately, Bunyan Stark, who was standing next to him, was quick and grabbed Aven.

As soon as he enters the night watch, he will abandon his wife and children. Family, friendship, love have nothing to do with him. Although Jeo Mormont was distressed, as the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, he could only ignore Aven.

Evan looked at him with gratefulness, then looked apologetically at the men in black around him. But no one blames the teenager in front of him. Along the way, this thin boy conquered all the men in black with his strength.

Even if he didn't have his performance along the way, the changes the boy made to the night watch this year were enough to make all the men in black respect him.

Evan has been at Castle Black for almost a year, and he has taught people to wash their hands frequently, so that the mortality rate due to illness here has dropped to one percent. His transformation of the Ministry of Craftsmen and the Ministry of Affairs, the introduction of assembly line operations, so that the production of weapons, the provision of means of subsistence, and the efficiency of more than two times.

He proposes that the wildlings should not be killed, but that they should be reformed through labor, and now the dealers in the Night's Watch territory can already see the hope of a good harvest. Everyone knows that the night watchmen will not have to go hungry again next year......

Speaking of the Night's Watch territory, there is Brandon's Gift, which refers to the area from the Great Wall to its south, twenty-five leagues, which was given to the Night's Watch by Brandon Stark, the king of the North 8,000 years ago. The Night's Watch used the land to grow crops, but with the dwindling of personnel, much of the land was left unattended.

On the other hand, as a reward for the Night's Watch for their loyalty to the kingdom, Queen Alysanne, the wife of Jaehaerys the Arbiter, doubled the scope of the land grant and called it the "New Land".

Towns and villages in the "new lands" paid taxes to the Night's Watch in the form of goods or labor. Later, in order to escape the ravages of the wildlings, the people moved south into the mountains and the territory of the Amber family east of the King's Road, and the supply of the Night's Watch and the Great Wall was affected.

The Night's Watchman's territory, if you look at the map, has one-eighth of the territory of the North. Due to its desolation for almost a hundred years, the land is exceptionally fertile. It's just that in this era when human life is like grass, no one goes to farm!

This is the biggest problem, all the supplies of the Night's Watch are supported by the Seven Kingdoms.

This is a problem that Evan has been working on for the past year, and now there are more than a hundred savage-transformed farmers in these territories! Although it seems very small, what he is fighting against is the hatred of the night watch and the wildlings, and it is the change of concept for thousands of years.

Think about it, in the original book, as the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, under the pressure of the attack of the stranger, he was hacked to death by the Night's Watch brothers, not to mention that he was not a night watchman, only a nine-year-old boy.

To be able to do this, the sadness can be imagined!

(For the sake of smooth reading, in a song of ice and fire, the main character is called Evan Mormont.) After a chapter or two, everyone will get used to it. ）
