Aven's address was in the Raven's Nest in Castle Black, the home of the Night's Watchman, in a sturdy wooden fortress just below the Raven's Nest.

It was a kilometer west from the barracks to arrive, and Ewen was not prepared to stay in the barracks, this time it was a whim to go to the outside of the barracks, and he was ready to continue answering the Crow's Nest to study.

But Jao Mormont stopped Aven: "Stay and have a meal, and I'll let Bunyan take you back later!" ”

Evan smiled and said, "Good! ”

Geo Mormont has all the characteristics of a Northerner, rigid, impartial, and selfless. But Evan was his grandson after all, otherwise he wouldn't have spent a year at Castle Black without joining the Night's Watch.

Evan followed Jao Mormont and walked towards the Command Tower. After a while, the two came to his room. Jeo Mormont said, "How do you feel about going to Cyprus this time?" ”

Ai Wen said calmly: "From an objective point of view, although Saiwai is rich in products, rich in fish and wild species resources, the climate is too cold and not suitable for planting, so it is not suitable for human habitation. ”

Jeo Mormont has a good understanding of his grandson this year, he never says how he is, he always analyzes problems objectively. He sometimes thinks that such a smart child is really his grandson.

He then asked, "And what do you think of the problem of the savages now?" ”

"Commander-in-Chief, first of all, let's compare the actual strength, the savages now have more than 200,000 outside the fortress, while the night watchmen are now less than 1,000. Even though our individual combat strength is stronger than that of the other side, this cannot make up for the difference in numbers. In addition, the support of the Seven Realms to the Great Wall of Desperation is getting weaker and weaker, so it is impossible for us to defeat the other side!

Commander-in-chief, haven't you thought that the Great Wall of Desperation is on your generation, ending his mission? When you subdue 200,000 wildlings and submit them to King Robert Baratheon, your deeds as leader will be celebrated by the Troubadours in the Seven Realms, and the Night's Watch will fulfill his mission, and you will become Lord of the Wall, returning to House Mormont! ”

Jeo Mormont is almost sixty years old, and he has long since lost his ambitions. But when Evan said this, passion ignited in his heart.

But he quickly calmed down, judging by the year's contacts. On the one hand, Evan increases the strength of the Night's Watch, and on the other hand, he wants to spare the wildlings. If it weren't for his son, Jorah Mormont, who wrote to him that Evan had run away from home and had run to the Great Wall. He might think that the kid in front of him is a spy sent by the savages!

"Aven, I never saw you when you were a kid. I was surprised when you appeared to me more than a year ago with an attendant and said that you were my grandson. I keep asking you why you ran away from home, and you still haven't told me. But I can see that you are a precocious child, and I would like to ask you what is the purpose of doing this? ”

"Can I call you grandpa?"

"There's no one now, there's no need to be pretentious, just call if you want."

Evan saw that although Jao Mormont had a hard mouth, it was an immense joy to be able to re-experience family affection in this cold place. There was already a slight smile on his face: "Grandpa, I understood one thing when I was young, I am different from others. My mother had two miscarriages and died when she gave birth to me the third time. Probably due to the miscarriage, my body has been very weak since I was a child, and I look sick, I have also exercised in the past few years, but it has not been effective.

Then I realized that I might not live to be thirty years old. Anyway, I encountered some things later, which made me very unhappy, and I wanted to prove one thing, even if I was sick, I could do something that countless people couldn't do! ”

Jao Mormont asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Grandpa, how far do you think my greatest achievement can be?"

"Count Bear Island!"

Evan looked at Jao Mormont firmly: "Hand of the King, Prime Minister!" Rule the Seven Realms on behalf of the King! This is what I want to do! ”

Jao Mormont exclaimed, "Impossible! ”

Iger said calmly, "Why is it impossible? ”

"The prime minister has never been born among the counts, the lowest is the duke. That is, the lord of the land of the Seven Realms! ”

Egger said softly, "Is this the only reason?" ”

For a moment, Jeo Mormont couldn't think of any other reason to refute it. Judging from his observations this year, Aven is fully capable of taking the place of the king and ruling the Seven Kingdoms!

Perhaps because of the pressure of survival in this world, the average life expectancy of the people is no more than thirty years old, and Aven, who is already nine years old, is already regarded as an adult.

Jao Mormont pondered for a moment: "Do you really think so?" ”

"Yes!"

"What do you want to do?"

Ai Wen said softly, "Grandpa, I need your help!" ”

"How can I help you?"

"Conquer 200,000 savages!"

It was only at this moment that Jao Mormont understood Aven's thoughts, and everything he had done this year had a purpose.

Although Jeo Mormont had become a night watchman by this time, he did not lack a sense of family pride, and his grandson had such great ambitions, and he had no reason not to support it. What's more, it's good for the night watchman!

But he had one last question: "Evan Mormont, can you tell me who made you want to prove that you can become a prime minister and do things that no one else can do, Evan Mormont?" ”

Evan looked pained: "Grandpa, it's my father, Jorah Mormont. When he was a child, he saw that I was sick and asked a bachelor from the school city to help me see a doctor, but when he learned that I was born and did not live to be thirty years old, he gave up. Although he gave up on me, he at least ensured that I was fed and clothed.

But a year earlier, during the rebellion of the Greyjoy family in the Iron Islands, his father had brought back his second wife, Lynnice Hightower, after the war, and was immediately smitten by her. That woman was afraid that I had inherited Bear Island, and she was plotting against me everywhere. Several times I might have died if I hadn't been careful. I told my father afterwards, but he ended up choosing his wife and throwing away my useless waste. If I continue to stay in the family, I may not live for a year, and I can only leave a letter and come here to join you! ”

After hearing this, Jao Mormont shouted, "Is this true? ”

"I swear to the Old Gods that what I say is true!"

The old gods are supreme in the hearts of northerners, not to mention, what Evan said is true. A frail and sickly person living in this world will eventually be eliminated. That's why Jorah Mormont chose that woman and not him.
