Bronn said: "Lord Will, Lord Eddard, a few days ago in the dark night raid on the Craich army, we broke two good brothers, gorilla and fangs, in the Chinese military tent, we failed to catch the enemy commander, as a result, we were surrounded by a heavy situation, the situation is critical, seeing that in the end, only Lord Will can break out of the encirclement......"

Will said, "What do you want to say, Bolon?"

Tyrion smiled: "What else can a mercenary without honor and loyalty say, if he wants to work hard, there are two things in his life creed, the first is gold dragon coins, and the second is women." ”

"Bolon, you're no longer a mercenary. Eddard Stark muttered.

"Your Excellency is right, so I'm no longer loyal to the Golden Dragon Coin and the woman. ”

"What do you want?"

"For the credit of the victory of the night raid and the killing of Lele Craich in the tent of our raid on the enemy, I hope that Lord Eddard Stark will bestow me the honor of knighthood. Polon said.

Lord Will is not a knight, so he cannot give Bronn the title of knight, even if he is the leader of the Great Wall Legion.

Eddard Stark looked at Bronn intently, and Bronn looked at him with ease.

Angay glanced at Big Gilly, then at Will, his eyes swept over the little devil and the other northern guards, Damon Tampat Vanguard General, and said with little confidence: "Lord Will, Lord Eddard, I don't know what merit needs to be established to be awarded the honor of a knight, the night raid battle, it was my longbow and hard arrows that were the first to tear through the defense of the Lannister crossbows on the high wall, and in the battle of the army tent in the breakout, Lele Craich was killed by my arrow......"

"But you didn't cut off Lele Craich's head. Eddard Stark said.

"Yes, because we wanted to storm the tent and cut off the ......heads of Roland Craich, the patriarch of the Craich family, and his heir, Tybert Craich," Bronn said.

Eddard Stark said, "In contrast to your prowess, Lord Will deserves the honor of being a knight for his mastery in King's Landing and helping Stannis I ascend to the Iron Throne. ”

Choke!

Eddard Stark pulled his greatsword from Jory Kesso's back, "Will, please kneel!"

Will was stunned and then knelt down on one knee.

Eddard Stark held the ice in his hand and said aloud: "In the name of Stannis I of House Baratheon, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Guardian of the Seven Kingdoms, Guardian of the East, Lord of Winterfell and Guardian of the North, Guardian of the East, Eddard of House Stark, hereby bestows the honor of Knight Will Cao. Bachelor. ”

The military bachelor bowed down: "Lord Eddard!"

"Please take the oath of a knight's declaration!"

"Yes, sir!"

The maester faced Will and recited the oath aloud, and Will recited along:

- "Humility, integrity, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, soul!"

- "At the moment of the strong enemy, not fearless, courageous and loyal, worthy of God, loyal and upright, willing to die unyieldingly, protecting the weak, and not violating the principles of heaven!"

- "I swear to be kind to the weak, I swear to be brave against a strong enemy, I swear to fight against all wrong, I swear to fight for unarmed civilians, I swear to help those who come to me for help, I swear not to hurt any innocent woman, I swear not to harm any child, I swear to help my brother knights, I swear to be sincere to my friends, I swear to die for my love." ”

Led by the Maester, Will finished reciting his oath, and Eddard Stark's Ice Greatsword tapped on Will's head, right and left shoulders, and smiled, "Get up, Lord Knight." ”

"Lord Sheaed. Will stood up, and Arya beamed with joy and joy that her friend had become a knight. Big Gilly disagreed. Outside the Great Wall of Desperation, everyone is a free people, born equal, there is no knight lord, the free people can do whatever they want, in the face of the king, the free people do not need to kneel, anything, the free people have the right to speak and participate.

Everyone came to congratulate Will on becoming a knight.

"Lord Will, please kneel before the gods, old and new. Eddard Stark said.

Will's heart was strange, and the rest of the people sounded surprised, and Duke Ed used an honorific to ask Will to kneel again, not to him, but to the gods.

Will got down on one knee again.

Eddard Stark put his sword on Will's right shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Lord Will, are you willing to be the sword in the night, the shield of the kingdom, and be loyal to the country, from today to forever?"

"Yes, Duke. ”

"Are you willing to swear that you will fight against strong enemies outside and eliminate evil traitors from within for the rest of your life, lead the Great Wall Legion, and honestly admonish the absolute obedience of Eddard Stark, Guardian of the North and the East, and Stannis I, Guardian of the Realm? ”

"Yes, Duke. ”

"Are you willing to protect the rights of your country, and always fight side by side with the guardian of the North, the guardian of the East, and Stannis I, no matter what the future holds, for the benefit of your people and for the punishment of your enemies?"

"I do, Duke. ”

"Arise, then, Lord Will, Lord of the Legion of the Great Wall, Lord of Dragonstone. As of today, Eddard Stark's Dragonstone territory has been granted to you, you can include him in the new land grant of the Great Wall Legion, you can lead the Great Wall Legion to build a trading post on Dragonstone, that is your freedom, Lord Earl. ”

In just a few moments, Will was promoted from a civilian Night's Watch to a knight, and then from a knight to a lord. - In the Great Wall, although you don't depend on your status as a leader or commander-in-chief, anywhere in the Seven Kingdoms, dealing with any noble knight, knighthood or lordship, has all the benefits and no harm.

Westeros is a fantasy world and a knight's world.

Dragonstone can be used as his personal property or as a common domain of the Legion. If the Great Wall Legion wants to trade, Dragonstone Island is undoubtedly the best trade transit point, and the people of the Great Wall Legion have the right to collect certain taxes when passing through the waters of Dragonstone Island.

Will went to great lengths in King's Landing to secure Dragonstone under the name of Eddard Stark, in order to mine the dragon crystals beneath Dragonstone: the scientific name is obsidian, and the magical name is Frozen Fire.

Dragonstone Island now belongs to the Great Wall.

Will was overjoyed and stood up, not hiding his excitement.

Eddard Stark smiled, "Boron, Angay, you are Lord Will's soldiers, and if you want to be promoted to knight, please make a request to Lord Will." He is now the Earl of Dragonstone. ”

Will has gone from knight to lord, and is already qualified to be knighted.

In fact, a knight can be knighted, but the higher the status of the person who is given the title, the higher the honor of the person who is given.

If you believe in the Seven Gods, you have to go to the Great Sanctuary and kneel under the statue of the warrior, anoint the seven-colored holy oil with the help of the monks, and take an oath in the Sanctuary to become a knight. There are also on the battlefield, where a general or commander dies in battle, and if you want to promote a general or commander from among the soldiers, then as long as there is a knight, you can recite the knight's oath on the spot and confer the chosen soldier as a knight, without the presence of a bachelor, and for those who believe in the seven gods, they can be exempted from the relevant rituals such as applying holy oil.

The knight gives the seal, which can be simple or complex, depending on the situation at the time.

Will said, "Lord Eddard, farewell, let's go to the Thousand Faces Island in the Divine Eye Lake first, and then get in touch with the Lord when we're done." Hopefully, Lord Eddard will be able to take Golden Tooth City under the command of the three armies, and then we will need miners from the west to mine the obsidian on Dragonstone Island, the frozen fire that kills the strangers and ghouls. ”

As for conferring the titles of Boron and Angel as knights, Verti did not mention it.

Bronn shrugged his shoulders, and Angel grinned, helpless.
