Xiong Lao opened the note and began to announce the position of each recruit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Sam got his wish and became an officer, and the specific job was to take care of Master Eamon, which was already the best arrangement he could think of. Glenn and Piper join the Rangers, which is what they want, and they are thrilled to do so. However, Jon Snow, who had always wanted to be a Ranger, was assigned as an officer, specializing in the service of Old Mormont.

This meant having to carry him water, food, laundry, fire, and errands, and deliver letters, and it meant that he could not become a "true warrior" of the Rangers like his uncle, whom he had always admired. Moreover, he thinks that he is good enough to be a ranger in all aspects of swordsmanship, horsemanship, archery, and tactics.

After the others left, he sat in the sanctuary with Samwell Tully and the eloquent singer Dalyon, still in a trance. The clerk is to serve people, Sam is to serve the bachelor, Darion is to go to the East China Sea to serve the merchants, and he is to serve others.

He was so dissatisfied with the result that he almost left in anger because of it. There is no place for illegitimate children in the Starks, at least not in Mrs. Stark's eyes. The night watchman was his last hope for success, and he didn't want to spend his life cutting cream, sewing clothes, and spending his life like a girl's house.

He left the sanctuary with grief and confusion, and Sam went with him. This rare clever man of the Tully family would admonish his good friend and make him understand the meaning behind his arrangement: he followed Elder Bear day and night, and although it was true that he needed to serve him, he would be there for every decision, every meeting, every time he arranged business, every battle and patrol, and even every time he wrote and sent letters to the princes of the Seven Kingdoms. "Jon, his purpose is to take his 'heir' with him, so that you can learn from the observation of words and looks, and he wants to train you to be the successor of the commander-in-chief!"

Jon was just an underage child, and when he thought about it, he knew that his friend was right, he was too childish to grasp the meaning behind this arrangement. He will feel ashamed and embarrassed when he understands it, but he will also try to be a good affairs officer and let himself grow up as soon as possible.

The night watchmen were busy arranging the posts of the recruits, and Zhao Mai had nothing to do. Elder Xiong said at the meeting that he was a guest, but Castle Black did not arrange a room for him. Zhao Mai said in his heart: Maybe when they are not too busy, it would be better to ask the chief of general affairs, Bowen? But for now, it is better to wait and see the oath-taking ceremony.

After some time, new recruits returned to the sanctuary and took sacred vows before the seven gods under the auspices of Brother Seleda. Zhao Mai has been waiting to watch a scene, so no matter what others say, he just doesn't move the place.

The oath is solemn and powerful, "The long night is coming, and I will keep watch from now on until I die." I will not take a wife, nor a fief, nor have children. 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 of the Great Wall, 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. ”

Whether the brilliance of the Seven Gods shone down or not, Zhao Mai was not sure, but the power of the Great Wall of Desperation had a sense. The mighty magical walls parted their power and descended from the sky in runes, burrowing into the night watchman's chest before vanishing. There is both the power of certification and the power of witnessing. In a short moment, Zhao Mai could only perceive this point, and he couldn't see it in detail.

Oaths are a powerful force, and the oaths of the Night's Watch are even more extraordinary. Zhao Mai guessed that if he broke his oath, such a powerful magical creation as the Great Wall of Desperation would definitely react. Since there is indeed a connection between this oath and the Great Wall of Despair, it proves from the side that his theory of piercing the wall is valid. What the night watchman did and said, the desperate Great Wall could be sensed, so the "remote control of the door" has the basis for realization.

It's not difficult to become a night watchman, but now they are short of people! Only three of the nineteen castles are stationary, and the size of the night watch is now less than one-tenth of what it used to be, and the entire defense line of the Great Wall of Desperation is full of holes. Zhao Mai thought that his skills could easily pass the training, and the head of the Erisha sect couldn't help him at all. But the step of swearing made Zhao Mai a little worried, God knows what else is the power in the oath?!

What will happen if you break your oath and become a deserter? Zhao Mai thought about it, and it seemed that none of them could have a good end, and how much of them were caused by self-inflicted blame, and how much was caused by magic? It doesn't take any other tricks to get Dad to beat himself to death. Zhao Mai shook his head when he thought of this, he would rather give up all the learning opportunities here than make this oath.

With this preparation in mind, Zhao Mai left the temple. The night watchman of Castle Black looked at him as an outsider with curious eyes, and he looked at the Wall of Despair with curious eyes. It is impossible to get close to the Great Wall from underground by car, and if he leaves the car, he will not even be able to walk to the foot of the Great Wall now, let alone touch it. Zhao Mai only tried slightly, and was immediately invaded by the endless cold, and his whole body began to stiffen.

It was a state where the natural force and psychic abilities were frozen, like death looming. Only by retreating in a hurry can it be resolved, and fortunately, there are no sequelae after dissolving. Therefore, for him, the Great Wall of Desperation can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.

"What are you looking at? Would you like to go up and have a look?" the person who spoke was "Melancholy Add", whose full name was actually Addison Tollett, a gray-haired squire with an inherently depressed expression on his face. "I've never figured out whether it's more terrible to wait under a wall and be crushed to death, or to stand on it and wait for it to collapse and fall to death. ”

"You can only die once, so you'll never know. Zhao Mai replied.

"So that's why you want to go up and see it when you're under the wall, and then come down when you get there?"

"Actually, if you stay at half the height of the Great Wall of Desperation, do you say that you will be stoned to death or fall to death first?" Zhao Mai felt that this person was talking very interestingly, so he said deliberately.

Add shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guess I'll freeze to death first, or starve to death, what do you think?"

Zhao Mai shook his head, he didn't know how to answer, so he could only change the subject: "Have you already finished taking the oath?"

"I'm going, anyway, sooner or later. Eddie pursed his lips and pointed to Zhao Mai's carriage: "You came from the south, did you bring anything delicious with you?" I can see that you are here to run errands, and we night watchmen are very willing to accept bribes. ”

"Then after you have taken the oath, can you say to me, 'I will allow you to pass through the Great Wall of Despair'?"

"It's not a big problem, a whole ham will do, I don't ask for much. Add sniffed.

Zhao Mai high-fived him, then went to the night watchman's kitchen with the money bag and bought a whole ham for thirty times the price outside. After a while, Eddie walked over with his neck curled.

"I allow you to pass through the Great Wall of Desperation. He said solemnly, and then reached out and took the ham.

Zhao Mai thanked him, and then walked towards the Great Wall of Despair. This time he was able to get close, and he could even touch the Great Wall, but he still couldn't get past it. Add's words did work, but he was just a recruit, too low-class.

"Old Xiong, it seems that I have no choice but to rely on you. Zhao Mai rubbed his nose and left the cold city wall. (To be continued.) )
