Chapter 2: Will the Night's Watch

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 in the wall. I am the scorching flame against the cold, the light at dawn, the trumpet that awakens the dead, the iron guard that guards the kingdom!

--------- the Night's Watch Oath

The dark night, the silence was gloomy, the cold wind howled coldly, and from time to time you could hear the rustle of the leaves in the wind, and now it was almost midnight, Ma Shen was hobbling in the woods, a black shadow passed by, Ma Shen hurriedly nervously guarded, and after a while, nothing happened, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

This kind of thing has happened many times, every time it makes people feel frightened, people who have not tried to spend the night in the wild will not know the horror of spending the night in the wild, a sudden jump of the figure will make people suspicious, this is still in the relatively safe earth, the kind of beasts that pose a greater threat to people have either been driven out of remote reserves, or have been imprisoned in zoos for retirement.

However, in this pristine world of ice and fire, he was no longer suspicious, and listening to the wolf roars not far away, Ma Shen was even more cautious. The purpose of not going to the world of ice and fire is to feed those poor and hungry beasts, Ma Shen is not so kind.

The cold wind was still blowing, and according to this temperature, Ma Shen judged that he should be in the north, the territory of the Stark family, the only upright family in the world of ice and fire, and perhaps only in the sparsely populated north, the land area is equivalent to the sum of the other six countries, and the population is not large, so Ma Shen can not see any populated places for so long.

Ma Shen came to this conclusion, but he was willing to draw the wrong conclusion, because Ma Shen didn't know when such a tense day would end, and he wanted to sleep but didn't dare to sleep, so he could only rush desperately, trying to find a slightly safer place.

In the dark grove, only the light of the moon sprinkled on the earth, so that Ma Shen could barely see the road he walked, and suddenly, Ma Shen saw a small wooden house faintly in the distance.

Finally seeing the traces of human population, Ma Shen was overjoyed, and couldn't help but speed up his pace, but soon his steps became alert again, because Ma Shen suddenly realized that he was no longer in the original safe world, this world is full of dangers, if you want to live, you must be careful and careful, and the small houses that appear in the wilderness are not like places where ordinary farmers will live.

As the distance got closer and closer, he found that the door of this room was open, but there was no sound or light coming from inside, looking at the room covered by darkness, Ma Shen became more and more cautious, and the palms of his hands holding the hilt of the sword were already sweating.

"Hello, is anyone there?" Ma Shen tentatively asked in English to the door, as a professional student Ma Shen said that there was no problem in communicating in English, Ma Shen stopped after asking, but did not get any reply.

Ma Shen found that no one replied, and then asked tentatively: "Hello, I am a passing traveler, is anyone there?"

As a result, no one replied, whether to enter this terrifying-looking hut, Ma Shen hesitated in place for a while, listened to the wolf roars around him, and gritted his teeth and entered the dark hut.

When you enter the house, you don't have to see it completely clearly, and the moonlight enters the house through the window, so that you can barely see the situation inside the house.

The house was empty, only a few old wooden planks were scattered and piled up, and there was a black pile in the middle, which should be the place where the fire was burned, Ma Shen sighed, it turned out to be an abandoned house where no one lived in it.

Ma Shen's hand that was originally holding the sword tightly relaxed, looked around, nodded with some satisfaction, and said to himself: "It seems that I am lucky, although it is a little dirty, but it is much safer to have a house than in the wilderness outside." ”

Closing the wooden door, Ma Shen didn't plan to raise a ploughing fire or anything like that, he just wanted to spend the night and wait for dawn before continuing to hurry, so he found a corner at random and sat down, he could breathe a little relieved, and finally had a slightly safe place to rest.

When he was in a hurry, he didn't notice it, and as soon as he sat down, Ma Shen felt unusually tired, and there were a few blisters on his feet, and the bread had already been eaten while he was in a hurry, and he was a little hungry when he touched it, and endured the pain and hunger, Ma Shen decided to think of something to divert his attention: I didn't have time to think about it before, so what should I do when I am temporarily safe, should I go to Winterfell to meet the Stark family or to King's Landing?

By the way, according to memory, the source of spiritual energy is to ingest energy by changing the trajectory of the spiritual world or by killing. That is to say, as long as you change the fate of the character, you can get energy.,For example, Bran who should have fallen off the tower didn't fall off the tower.,The people who should die didn't die.,In addition, you get energy by killing.,Doesn't it mean that it's like playing a game.,So I can fight monsters and gain experience points.,Sounds good.,It's a pity that I'm not in the game world right now.。 Ma Shen touched the blisters on his feet and couldn't help but smile bitterly and thought, this is a real world for me, and dying here is really dying.

Thinking about it, a burst of drowsiness gradually hit, and suddenly a knock on the door outside broke Ma Shen's sleepiness, Ma Shen's whole body was shocked, and suddenly the drowsiness disappeared, and he hurriedly held the hilt of the sword and rushed to the side of the wooden door, and asked vigilantly: "Who is it!"

A man's voice outside the door replied with some nervousness: "Hello, I am a passer-by, I want to go south, but I accidentally lost my way in this cold and terrifying woods, can I spend the night here?"

Ma Shen frowned and thought for a while, looked at the thin wooden door, and while covering the window with a wooden plank, he replied in the room that had fallen into darkness: "Of course, this room has been abandoned, no one is here, I am just staying here for one night, please come in." With that, he cautiously opened the door.

"Thank you very much. A man who looked a little thin bent down and slowly walked through the wooden door, looking to be wary of Ma Shen in the room.

The man glanced at the room, but maybe because the room was too dark, he couldn't see Ma Shen's figure clearly, glanced at it, suddenly seemed to feel something, and quickly turned his head, but it was too late, Ma Shen hid in the dark corner behind him and smashed the back of his head with the handle of the knife, looking at the man who slowly fell to the ground, Ma Shen said slowly: "I'm sorry, this is called the first strike." ”

Ma Shen, who is currently in the period of victim paranoia, does not believe that normal people will appear here by such a coincidence, rather than being cautious and finally being restricted everywhere, it is better to seize the opportunity and strike first.

Looking at the man who had fallen to the ground, Ma Shen eased his nervousness, because he was a little nervous when he knocked the stick for the first time, and his hands were trembling, if it wasn't for the fact that he had learned basic swordsmanship, otherwise he really couldn't guarantee that he would be able to knock this man out so accurately.

Look at what he was carrying, Ma Shen thought as he leaned down and groped around the man, and finally found an iron sword and a kettle.

"Hey, I don't think I've seen this person anywhere!"

When searching, Ma Shen saw the unconscious man's face through the moonlight, and inexplicably felt a little familiar. Staring at the man's face, Ma Shen thought about it seriously, and finally remembered: "He seems to be the only night watchman who escaped after seeing the strange ghost at the beginning of the plot, as if he was called Will's unlucky bastard." ”

According to characters from the World of Ice and Fire, Will was a poacher before joining the Night's Watch, hunting in the woods of House Mellister. Once, while skinning a deer, he was caught by Earl Mellister's freerider, who gave him the choice of wearing a black suit or having his hand cut off. In the end, he chose to put on black and become a night watchman. Later, he unfortunately encountered a strange ghost, and then he was too scared to return to the Great Wall, and wanted to flee directly to the south, but was defeated by Eddard, the guardian of the north. Stark captures Will, and Eddard doesn't believe Will's claims of seeing a stranger or anything like that, believing that he was lying to get away with it, and finally identifies Will as the escaped Night's Watch and cuts off his head himself.

"No wonder it's a little familiar, it turned out to be an acquaintance, for your sake, I'll let you go this time, and then I'll save your life if I have the chance, of course, as a price, what you have on you will belong to me." Ma Shen said to poor Will on the ground.

Then Ma Shen continued to search for the rest of the loot on Will without sympathy, and then found a piece of wood, two pieces of dry food that had been gnawed and made of unknown pieces, as well as two silver deer, the currency of the Seven Kingdoms, and a few scattered copper plates.

"How could this guy be so poor, sure enough, the night watchmen are a bunch of poor ghosts. Ma Shen glanced at the coins he had scavenged from poor Will with disgust, and said shamelessly. By the way, he wiped the money on his clothes, and then stuffed it directly into his pocket, unaware that he was a penniless man.

Looking at Will, who was lying on the ground with only one piece of clothing left on him, Ma Shen finally decided to mercifully let him go and let him continue to wear his clothes.

Picking up the iron sword on the ground, Ma Shen swung it a few times, flicked the sword surface, and the "ding" sword surface made a crisp sound, and I felt that the quality was not bad. "Looks like my wooden sword can retire. Ma Shen looked at the sword in his hand and said to himself with a smile

"Now that the loot has been looted, what should we do next, oh yes, we should find a rope to tie him up first. Looking at the unconscious Will Ma Shen, something suddenly came to his mind, and a chilling laugh came out of his mouth.
