The judges, the guards, the witnesses, and the accused, all looked at the person who suddenly spoke up.

The black clothes were so conspicuous, and Lan Li had seen Egger during the counterinsurgency in the Vale, and he recognized him at once—in fact, if Iger had not been arrested by the Prime Minister, he would have testified in court as the first whistleblower. After an unexpected pause for a few seconds, Lan Li recalled that he was the judge, "It turned out to be our Alien Slayer, Lord Egger—permission to speak." ”

"I, Egger West, in my capacity as the Night's Watch Chief Logistics Officer and Chief Recruiter, refuse this man's request to join the Legion in black. "The position of the chief conscription officer is fictitious, and he was not appointed by Mormont, but the commander-in-chief did entrust himself with conscription on the initial certificate issued when he was separated from himself, and the relationship is complicated...... Whoever wants to question, Iger will answer him - don't bother to write to the Wall and ask.

"The Night's Watch is an ancient and glorious organization, and it doesn't accept such scum who has no bottom line and no principles!"

＊＊＊

Littlefinger's defection and the subsequent second note incident made Iger deeply understand what it means to "fight a tiger and not die, but leave a future trouble". And the conflict that broke out with Slint because of Nina made him realize first-hand how disgusting it is to be an enemy of a villain.

This kind of experience is enough once in a lifetime.

Let Slint go to the Great Wall to do something as he wishes, give him the opportunity to "disgust Jon Snow while designing revenge on himself"? Don't even think about it! Because of the counterinsurgency in the valley, the Great Wall already has a bunch of opponents, and if he still lets people like Slint run over, he will really train gravediggers with his own hands.

It stands to reason that it would be best to let Slint join the Night's Watch and then try to kill him quietly. But in this way, it takes a lot of energy and brains, not to mention, this Slint seems to know a lot of night watchmen, and in the event of an accident, there will be endless trouble...... After a short period of consideration, Iger decided that this time, he would take revenge openly, without fear of suspicion!

As the chief logistics officer of the Night's Watch and the founder of the Night's Watch industry, he didn't need such a false name of mercy and tolerance, how could he say forgive and forgive?

From the moment he escaped from the assassination in the night of chaos, Iger vowed never to give such a villain a chance to hurt himself again. He doesn't want to be a bad guy, but in this cold and cruel world, good guys can only survive if they're more cunning and ferocious than bad guys.

Slint must die, and the villain who dies is the best villain!

＊＊＊

"Don't take this kind of scum!"

Egger's voice echoed through the throne room, hovering around the stone pillars for a long time.

Before, if any of the night watchmen said such righteous and awe-inspiring words in public, it would definitely cause laughter in the hall - isn't the night watch army a place to dispose of the scum? Isn't it an international joke that the garbage station does not collect garbage...... But in today's courtroom, at least half of the participants had seen the ghoul that Ed had placed on display under the traitor's hallway, and the speaker was the legendary "Phantom Slayer" Egger West...... Time has passed, and this time his statement on behalf of the night watchman not only did not provoke ridicule, but also caused a round of applause.

Only then did Slint find out that Egger had actually come to the courtroom, as the owner of the Night's Watch and the leader of the winner's side...... This bastard in black actually ran to cut off his back road in person, and he didn't realize that the price was dropped!

"Egger West, I'm a Nizu, I can't be a night watchman this time, and I won't let you go as a ghost—well—"

The guard couldn't listen to it, and directly stuffed the cloth ball that he had been holding in his hand into Slint's mouth, so that he had no chance to pollute everyone's ears again.

"The Night's Watch is not afraid of demons and monsters. Iger stood up straight, and his days in prison did not wear down the momentum of his chief logistics officer: "If you become a ghost and come to me, I will kill you again!"

"Wait!" Egger's reply even drew applause from several men, and just when everyone thought the outcome of the trial was sealed for the second time, another man in black, Ser Elisha, who was sitting not far from Egg's right, stepped forward: "I've lived so long, and I've never heard of a law that says the Night's Watch can refuse to join!"

......

Egg frowned and glanced at his colleague from Castle Black. He knew that Elisha knew Slint, but he didn't know what their relationship was. Is this old hedgehog simply against himself, or is his relationship with Slint good enough for him to stand up in public to save his life?

"Who is this, introduce yourself?" When the Retainer War broke out, Lan Li was still a little kid hiding in Storm's End, and he couldn't have known this former King's Landing garrison officer, and now the head of the Black Castle.

"Under Alyssa Thorne, my lord. ”

"It turned out to be Sir Elisha. Lan Li didn't really know who it was, but he had heard of the name and knew the Thorne family of the royal leader, so he pretended to nod abruptly, looked at the two night watchmen who had different opinions, and curled the corners of his mouth in amusement: "Tell me directly, which of you two has the final say." ”

Iger turned to face Alyssa and asked with a smile, "Sir Elisha, what is your position in the Night's Watch?"

"I'm a recruit instructor for the Night's Watch Legion, and Egg is the Chief Logistics Officer, and I have no objection to that, theoretically, he is higher than me. Erisha was not fooled at all, but instead retreated into advance, admitting this loudly, defusing Egger's attempt to suppress people with his position: "But I question whether the officers of the Night's Watch have the right to 'refuse to join'. It has nothing to do with the position!"

(Witty answer, but Sir Elisha, are you sure you want to play tricks on me?)

Egger laughed in his heart, except for Mary Sue like Margaery Tyrell, who is illogical and noble-born, and has nowhere to speak, Iger is really not afraid of anyone who is simply debating it: "Indeed, there has never been a law that says that the Night's Watch can refuse to join, but again, there is never a rule that says no! Then I think that since the law does not stipulate that I cannot refuse, I am allowed to refuse!"

＊＊＊

Egger is secretly changing concepts, bullying Erisha's mental flexibility and cultural level are not high enough to debate with him. "The law does not prohibit it is permissible" is logically unquestionable, but it is important to note that this sentence only applies to individual citizens. People with a little legal knowledge know how to refute themselves, this seemingly innocent sentence, there is a corresponding other half: "The law is not authorized, you can't do it"!

It is allowed if it is not prohibited by law, and it cannot be done without authorization by law.

This sentence seems to be inconsistent, but it represents two situations, which must not be taken apart and used everywhere, the first half of the sentence protects the individual, and the second half of the sentence restricts public power - just as arrest requires an arrest warrant, a search warrant is required for a search, and authorization is required to wage war, Iger is now speaking on behalf of the Night's Watch Legion, he is not an individual, and the second half of the sentence should be applied - that is: without the authorization of Commander Mormont on behalf of the Night's Watch Legion, he is not qualified to set a precedent and refuse others to join the application in the name of the Night's Watch Legion!

＊＊＊

Theoretically, this is true, but in this world, how many people can quickly sort out the relationship and expose Egger's sophistry, and then quickly launch a counterattack from the right angle? Lan Li can't, Slint's mouth was gagged, and Sir Alyssa blushed, and he couldn't find a word to refute for a long time, and finally only held back the sentence: "There has never been such a precedent, this is not in accordance with the rules!"

"No, there is a precedent!" Egg didn't hesitate for a second: "In the initial stages of the establishment of the Night's Watch, only those who were skilled in archers and horses, who were physically able, and who could wield at least one weapon, could join...... Isn't this the same as rejecting untrained ordinary people? The Night's Watch Legion stands in the north of the North to fight against wild humans and human predators, and to protect the safety of all the people of the Seven Kingdoms...... As for our Lord Slint, looking at his rude, ferocious, unreasonable temperament and his appearance of prostration, prostration, and weakness of his white hair, when he arrives at the Great Wall, I really don't know how many brothers I have to send to keep an eye on him to prevent him from continuing to mess around. Even if he doesn't have the courage to do anything, I have to ask, is he protecting us, or are we protecting him!?"

"Well said!" Arya clapped her hands and screamed, no one dared to accuse the Prime Minister's daughter of disrupting the courtroom.

Elisha's chest rose and fell: "You are a personal vendetta!"

I'm a personal vendetta!" Iger almost ripped off his clothes and pointed to the arrow wound on his shoulder to shout out the sentence, but this refreshing thought was only simulated in his mind in the end, and the words completely changed when he came to his mouth: "Sir Elisha, please pay attention to your words, you are slandering and attacking your superiors! Whether I have this authority or not, whether you say it or not, whether I say it or not, must be judged by Commander Mormont." But he is not here now, fortunately, the Minister of Justice is the most authoritative person in the legal world of the Seven Kingdoms, Lord Lan Li, I ask you to decide this matter!"

Lan Li opened his mouth, he is indeed the Minister of Justice, but when it comes to legal issues, he is really not skilled, and it is okay to memorize the provisions of the law, and explain and judge controversial issues...... It's hard for him.

But what era is this? In Westeros under the feudal lordship system, the king's word is the law! The king is not there, the king's hand is not there, then the words of the minister of law are the law, this is the world ruled by men!

......

Lan Li muttered, he hadn't studied the discipline and history of the Night's Watch, but he hadn't figured out the logic of the phrase "the law is allowed without a ban", and between Egg and Elisha, he was more familiar with the former, and he was ...... to Slint There is no idea of saving his life, so there is no suspense in the result.

"Very well, then I'll decide. Lan Li tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, and after thinking for a few seconds, he made a decision: "The chief recruiter of the Night's Watch, he has the right to refuse the application of others to join, the Great Wall of Desperation is a barrier used to protect the Seven Kingdoms, not a place for lawbreakers to escape punishment!" The defendant, Janos Slint, has just pleaded guilty to the charges against him, and now, in the name of King Robert, I sentence you to death. The results will be confirmed by the hand of the king, and if there is no problem, the execution will be carried out in public at noon the day after tomorrow in the square of the Great Basilica of Baylor, as a warning to the world!"
