Chapter 46: The Night's Watch Coolie
Three frozen corpses were laid on top of the pyre, opposite the somber Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, Geor Mormont, behind him the Night's Watch Chief Ranger Bunyan Stark, and behind him a horde of murderous elite Night's Watch veterans. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On the side of the corpse pyre, there were only 27 recruits left, and they were suppressed by the momentum of the people opposite, and they didn't dare to breathe.
It stands to reason that a bunch of recruits are not the turn of the commander-in-chief of the night watch and all the night watchmen, and such a big battle is too terrifying.
But because last night, the Seventh War Zone finally determined their position, that is, neutrality, so the three anti-virus hunters who were sent to monitor Mu Shao'an retreated overnight, and they were gone, and the recruit NPCs they possessed died casually under the pretext of fleeing, so there was such a scene.
Of course, from Mu Shao'an's point of view, this is not necessarily a coincidence, nor is it necessarily a random event, he even feels that this seems to be a little trick played by a certain commander brother who was accidentally frightened in the seventh war zone in order to vent his emotions.
That's right, although this is only the death of three recruits, but the problem is that they didn't run away halfway, but ran away after arriving at Castle Black, which is like the truth of hitting people without slapping them in the face.
You fled on the road, and the elite night watchmen who accompanied you slaughtered you at will, like cattle, without any excuse or report to the higher-ups.
But now, this matter is tantamount to stabbing directly in front of the commander-in-chief of the night watch.
The nature has changed in a moment.
In the TV series, the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, Jeo Mormont, seems to be a very kind, kind, and decent old man, and he doesn't have much power, less than a thousand people in total, and those majestic lords are really incomparable, and even was almost killed by his men once.
But in reality, this is a big mistake.
The old bear's strength was still staggering, and even the veteran night watchmen would tremble if they were angry.
"From now on, their training will be doubled, and if they still have the energy to fool around in the Mole Village, they will be sent to the Ghost Forest to dig ice!"
Commander-in-Chief Jao Mormont's voice was like a north wind with ice slag, and the temperature seemed to drop a few points out of thin air, this old man was really angry this time, of course, this also meant that Mu Shao'an and their batch of recruits were even more unlucky, as for Mu Shao'an, who went to Mole Village last night to fool around, he belonged to a more unlucky group.
"The people in the Seventh War Zone are really stingy. ”
Mu Shao'an thought indifferently that the old man who led him to Mole Village last night had turned into a corpse at this moment, so he had been interrogated by several night watchmen in turn before, and if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't join the fleeing group, then he would probably have been hung up at this moment.
But even so, he was half angry, because who told him to run to Mole Village last night, the other recruits were honest.
A little trick in the Seventh War Zone, the effect is really obvious.
When the angry commander-in-chief left, the chief ranger Bunyan Stark also stared deeply at Mu Shao'an, and then the mid-level captains of the other night watchmen, as well as the small leaders at the bottom, and the senior night watchmen, but their eyes were much more interesting, and it was okay to go to the Mole Village to have fun on the first day of coming to the Great Wall of Desperation, but because of this incident, the commander-in-chief was alarmed on the first day, which was really unprecedented.
Boy, be blessed.
"You idiots, get out of here, from now on, you have a day to enjoy!"
When most of the elite Night's Watch dispersed, a Fifty-Year-Old Nightwatchman, with a strong body and sharp eyes, and an aristocratic temperament, yelled, but he was the commander of the Night's Watch who was responsible for training recruits, and he was a very active supporting character in the world of Ice and Fire, at least in terms of living long enough.
Of course, Ser Alyssa Thorne was just as vitriol, and after Jon Snow arrived at the Wall of Despair three months later, he became nicknamed and escalated until the final conflict.
So it is conceivable what is the attitude of this gray-haired, but still meticulous old man towards Mu Shao'an, the black sheep, at this moment.
Before the training of recruits, it is necessary to go to the arsenal to receive clothing and equipment, which can be understood as novice equipment.
The heavy wooden door was pushed open, and the dust poured down, and it was dark inside, and the recruits were of course not qualified to enter this arsenal, so they could only stand outside, watching Sir Alyssa Thorne command several other night watchmen to carry out piles of tattered clothes, leather armor, wooden shields, and wooden swords, all of which exuded a special musty smell, and the experienced Mu Shao'an knew that it had been soaked in blood when he smelled it.
However, Mu Shao'an was more interested in the deepest part of the arsenal, the darkness could not block his vision, and the innermost part was a row of fine weapons bows and crossbows, as well as leather armor and clothing, and even scale armor.
Maybe in the TV series, these weapons are very ordinary, but at this moment, Mu Shaoan can feel that there is a special power injected into these weapons and equipment, dormant and unmoving.
This feels a bit like the situation when he first obtained the Immortal Heavy Shield, his Immortal Heavy Shield was originally just a blue quality Demacian Pioneer Legion's standard shield, and the reason why it was later upgraded was because Mu Shao'an's own spiritual power had increased greatly, and on the other hand, it attracted the immortality of the heroic spirits who had died in battle in the shield, so he became immortal.
From this point of view, weapons and equipment are definitely not as new as possible, and they have been passed down from generation to generation, and the courage, fighting spirit, and sacrifice accumulated on it will automatically become the hidden power of this weapon and equipment.
And the Night's Watch Legion has a history of 8,000 years, I don't know how many good men have died in this land, many of their weapons have either been lost or broken, and there are very few that can be passed down, but if there is really a weapon that can be passed down to this day, even if it is thrown in the deepest part of this arsenal, full of dust, rust, and no one cares, but as long as it can be discovered and treated well, then it can shine the strongest light.
The glory of the warrior is eternal regardless of the changes of time, regardless of the distance of the world, the north and the south, and the difference of race and culture!
This is the real artifact, invincible and indestructible!
So, this historic arsenal at Castle Black is definitely an undiscovered treasure.
Unfortunately, the most heavily guarded place of the Black Castle is here, even more so than where the Commander-in-Chief and Maester Aemon live, and no one is a fool.
Perhaps only by becoming a true night watchman can you be eligible to enter and choose a set of weapons and equipment freely.
As soon as he thought of this, Mu Shao'an was also happy, but before he could think about it, the recruit instructor Sir Alyssa Thorne came over and said to him with a smile: "You don't need to participate in recruit training, Gary, Will, you two take him to the blacksmith Donner to report, the old fellow should be lacking some energetic coolies recently." ”
At that moment, two night watchmen came over with a smile and pulled Mu Shaoan out of the queue for recruit training, this punishment is not light, because according to the rules of the night watch, if you can't complete the recruit training, it means that you can't become a real night watchman, and you can only do craftsman coolies for cutting trees or digging ice or other work, and naturally, you are not qualified to enter the arsenal to choose weapons freely.
However, Mu Shao'an did not resist, the blacksmith Donna Noi can be regarded as the chief of the craftsmen in the Black Castle, and this old man is also outstanding in force, infinitely powerful, even if there is only one hand, he manages all the craftsmen and coolies, and is also responsible for repairing damaged equipment, as well as being responsible for cutting down trees, going to the Ghost Forest to dig ice blocks to repair the Great Wall of Desperation, etc.
In this way, maybe he still has a chance to get into the arsenal.
Of course, the above can only be regarded as a small change, what Mu Shaoan really cares about is whether he can leave the Great Wall and come into contact with the ghost as soon as possible.
It is worth mentioning that the two brothers who grabbed Mu Shaoan's arm and pulled him away at this moment were precisely the first batch of three-person team members who dealt with strange ghosts after the plot of the Ice and Fire World began.
The place where the old blacksmith Donner Noi struck iron was near the King's Tower, the tallest and most sturdy guard tower in Castle Black, and there were some sheds set up in a mess, and a furnace stood farther away, but it was not burning at the moment, and five or six men with ear caps, tattered cotton robes, and messy hair and beards, who could not see how old they were, crouched near the furnace, a little numbly waiting.
This is the coolie of Castle Black.
Yes, although the Night's Watch Legion has been declining day by day, and there are less than a thousand official Night's Watch soldiers, it does not mean that there are only these people on the Great Wall of Despair, in fact, at this time, there are still a lot of supplies from Winterfell and other cities every year, thousands of miles away, with the current road conditions, how much capacity is needed to meet the consumption of a thousand people?
And how much food and supplies do these capacities need to consume?
Just do the math, so, you can still see some wild prosperity in the Mole Village, there are not only prostitutes in the Mole Village, but also craftsmen and coolies, as well as children born to generations of artisan coolies, the natives, in fact, the permanent population of the Mole Village also has thousands of people, half of them are hired by the Black Castle, and they are paid to work, although life is hard and dangerous, but it is actually very nourishing.
The remaining half are the coolies who have nothing, these coolies are the night watch recruits sent by the southern countries, but because they can't pass the recruit training, they can't become real night watchmen, but they can't return, so they become coolies, the smarter ones become craftsmen, the smarter ones become craftsmen, the unsmart, and cowardly, that's almost hopeless, and they live so numbly all their lives, and they don't know when they become a stiff corpse?
