Chapter 231: Samwell Tully

Castle Black is divided into two parts, one at the foot and the other on the top of the Great Wall, connected by a system of lifts and drops controlled by men and mules, and a set of wooden stairs that climb the mountain wall. Because of www.biquge.info close to the mountain wall, the wooden stairs are always frozen, and even if you walk up with spike boots, you will always slip and be scary.

So the chubby Samwell Tully never dared to walk the steps.

In fact, he didn't dare to do anything but read a book. Although he was born in the city of Corner Ridge in Riverbend, he was the eldest son and heir to the title of Lord Randolph Tully, but he was not in any way as brave as his father, and even less like a warlord. "You only know how to read, not even a girl!" his father said of him, forcing him to join the Night's Watch.

To become a night watchman is to follow the oath of the night watch, including not to inherit, not to marry a wife, not to have children, and to defend the desperate Great Wall to the death. So Count Landau was able to get rid of this eldest son and choose an heir from among the other sons who were more in his temperament. Sam didn't dare to resist and obediently came to the Great Wall of Despair. He still couldn't hold a sword, he couldn't shoot a crossbow, and he wouldn't even be able to survive recruit training without Jon Snow's help.

He has been nicknamed by many nicknames, including "Miss Pig", "Lord Ham", etc., just like Jon who is called "Master Snow". It's also the same as "Stupid" Gülen, "Melancholy" Eddie, and "Sentry" Piper. They were to be trained together and to be sworn in as full members of the Night's Watch. Thankfully, Sam thought to himself, that included himself.

If he had left the shelter and help of these friends and continued his recruit training alone, he would have been tortured to death by Sir Alyssa Thorne. He knew that he was not a warrior, but it was too miserable to die because of it, and he should not have it. Sam tightened his clothes and stood by the elevator at the top of the Wall, waiting for the mule to spin the winch and let the rickety cage rise.

"Don't be afraid, no one has ever fallen into the cage and died. He comforted himself. But on the other hand, he knew that this was not the case. According to the records of the night watch, forty years ago, seventy-five years ago, one hundred and thirty-seven years ago, and four hundred and fifty-two years ago, the night watchmen fell and died. He hated how he remembered it so clearly, and why did he always remember it at such a time?!

"It's too small to happen to you. Sam smiled wryly, and then his innate fear helped him calculate another odds: the odds of a fat man like him among the Night's Watch. As a result, he found that his own incident seemed more unlikely, but it still appeared......

The cage finally came up, and he stood trembling and grabbed the handrail for the first time. If he had ten hands, he would have grabbed the handrails with ten full hands. "I'm going to get used to it, I'm going to get used to it......" he reassured himself, then pulled the bell, the cage shuddered violently, and then squeaked and slowly descended.

The shaking almost made his legs limp. He had to pay attention to the oath-taking ceremony that was about to take place, and silently recited the oath in his heart, hoping that he would not make a mistake in such a matter. But the snowflakes kept slapping his face, interrupting his train of thought again and again. Maybe not being as cold as others is the only benefit of being fat, right?" Sam was thinking this when he happened to see a carriage approaching the castle from above.

Once or twice a week, horse-drawn wagons bring supplies from "Mole Town" to the south, but not today. Moreover, it seems that it was not a wagon, but a four-wheeled carriage, the kind used by the nobility to travel. Who would be visiting Castle Black at this time? Sam thought hard. The biggest thing is probably the Stark family, after all, Jon Snow is also a member of the Stark family. Despite being an illegitimate child, he lived in Winterfell from shortly after his birth and until recently, with his "half-siblings".

Not a wagon means no fresh vegetables. Sam's biggest complaint about Castle Black is the cafeteria, where the cook should be able to feed the pigs, but not the cooks...... Can't think so, Sam said to himself, if someone knows, I'm afraid he will be the one who cooks. It's even possible that he will be cooked.

After taking the oath, he was assigned a position, and if he became a cook, he had to do something else that he didn't know. No matter how he was not loved by his father, he was also the first heir of Jiaoling City, the "eldest young master". Every day is taken care of by servants, and there is no such thing as lighting a fire and cooking. He also prayed not to be assigned to the Rangers, as that would mean patrolling and fighting in the field, and he couldn't stand it. However, if you can be assigned with a few friends, especially Jon Snow, then the Rangers are not absolutely unacceptable.

Anyway, I don't have anything I'm good at, hehe...... Hehe...... Sam wanted to laugh but couldn't: I should have gone to the school city to be a bachelor, but alas......

With a jumbled thought in his head, he slowly descended into Castle Black. The castle, backed by a desperate wall, with three stone walls and a wooden gate to control access and exit, was his home for the rest of his life. After a few more moments, taking an oath in the sanctuary completes the transformation of identity. There will be one more SamWill Tully among the Night's Watch, Chubby Sam.

"Hey, Sam, it's not that tall, jump off. Piper, who was on duty at the gondola today, tilted his head and joked, "A few parts are frozen, and you might be able to shake them up!"

"Thank you Piper, I wasn't in the mood to laugh much today. Sam waited for the basket to be stable, and his face looked better. "By the way, is everybody up? I mean Glenn, Eddie, and Jon. ”

"No one will be in bed, unless he is in love with Sir Elisha. Piper was adept at mimicking other people's voices, and at this time he imitated Elisha's rough voice and said, "Get up, you fools!

The corners of Sam's mouth curled slightly, and he reached out to pat the snow off his shoulder, then pointed to the yard and said, "What's going on with that car?"

Piper shrugged his shoulders, whistled, and shook his head, "I don't know either." A young man, who looked quite interesting, came to Castle Black alone. I guess they're going to join us, right? But it's strange that I found it myself! Who of us didn't take a carriage and let the night watchmen pick it from cells all over the place?"

"I'm not, and neither is Jon. Sam quickly added, "I mean, we ...... Belch...... You ......"

"Aha, I see. Piper waved his hand and said, "But I think the place where you and Jon used to stay was actually similar to a prison cell, with stone walls on all sides, isn't it? ”

"You see, the successor is coming. It's almost time, let's go to the church and don't miss the oath ceremony. Sam tugged Piper and dragged him along. (To be continued.) )
