Chapter 35 Don't Push Wall UnheroBenjen left, Igor excitedly left the room, planning to Go to Tyrion.
From start to finish, Tyrion Lannister is almost always there to help. But Igor is a self-aware person, he uses half true half false lie to arouse the other party's interest and impress them, this is intentional, it is a successful and wonderful performance... but then leave Wall from the other party's offer The feasible plan, until after a few chats just now, suddenly ran to ask the Lord Commander to ask for someone and succeeded in one fell swoop - this is not because oneself is eloquent or the other party's mind is so simple that oneself is tricked by oneself.
The fact is: Tyrion's IQ and EQ are high enough to tell in just a few small chats that Igor doesn't want to join the patrol, and that he's willing to grant his wish.
Igor sometimes can't help but wonder whether the other party is interested in getting more information and stories from oneself by the lies fabricated by oneself, or is it true and pure... just wanting to help Help oneself this hapless bastard in trouble?
The purpose of the other party is not important. The important thing is that Tyrion has indeed helped oneself. This time providing timely help is likely to save oneself's life and completely change the future destiny of oneself. Human affection, I am afraid, can only be repaid with a lifetime of friendship and loyalty.
But a lifetime of friendship and loyalty is no substitute for a face-to-face thank you. Igor stepped out of the gate and looked around, and quickly found his target - finding a dwarf was too easy in Castle Black full of grown-up black clothed men.
......
"Tyrion, many thanks, I know you will succeed!"
"Of course, don't look at who it is, The Imp from House Lannister wants to do something, who dares to stop it?" Tyrion raised his head smugly.> "What do you mean?"
"It took a lot of effort to convince Lord Commander and Maester Aemon, but Benjen Stark finally said he wanted to 'talk' to me about funding." dwarf couldn't help laughing : "Originally, I was prepared to be slaughtered. After returning to King's Landing at worst, I asked my Old Brother to borrow some money to settle the matter, and his offer made me almost laugh out loud."
"Is it very little?"
"It's not too little, my pocket money for a few months is slightly less than what I planned to give them at first, but he thinks lion's Big mouth's solemn expression amused me." Tyrion shrugged: "I was cooperatively 'taken aback by his price', and after some haggling with the chief service officer and craftsman he called, Success... eh?"
A few months of pocket money? Two or three months are also months, and eight or nine months are also months. How much is it? Either Tyrion is swollen and fatty, or House Lannister is so rich... But in any case, for oneself whose personal net worth is less than a Golden Dragon, it must be a huge sum of money. Igor was waiting for the next sentence, but dwarf suddenly made a silent gesture and motioned for him to follow.
In Castle Black, where everyone can hear the roar, what is there to be sneaky about? Igor was puzzled, but followed along.
They made their way through Castle Black's middle training ground to the arsenal and found Jon.
And a bunch of recruits.
It's easy to tell what happened here just now: a bunch of youngsters who were beaten by Jon on the training ground teamed up to block him in the house, intending to give this illegalimate child some color to see, but he was just kidnapped. The Tyrion space came out of the Lord Commander's house, and the latter "just happened" most sympathetic to the illegal child and the unfortunate, so he chased after him. Igor remembers this episode, but doesn't know when it happened.
Seeing a few recruits standing beside Jon in a surrounding shape, he frowned, took a step to open the door, and waved his head: "Go out."
......
I don't know if it was his "veteran" majesty that played a role, or the identity of Tyrion's queen younger brother scared a few recruits, a few young men whispered foul-mouthed, dropped the illegalimate child, cautiously from Igor's side. left the room.
"What's the matter?" he asked, originally planning to ask Tyrion to thank him and discuss the timetable for leaving Wall, but now that Jon is here, it's not good to rub salt on his wound.
"It's nothing." Jon turned away and continued to pack his practice gear, sniffling, trying not to let the tears flow from his eyes. He took off his armor, leather coat and sweaty wool sweater, put on his usual sackcloth black shirt, and suddenly missed Winterfell, his brother sister...even Sansa who wasn't close to him.
No one had ever told him what the Night's Watch unit was like, only the dwarf and Igor of House Lannister had told him a little bit of the truth. But oneself was full of thoughts at that time, like the rangers in front of him, to kill the legendary human natural enemies, fight side by side with other Night's Watch brothers to repel tens of thousands of wildling army, and prove that oneself is no worse than any direct son... But here, even survival is so difficult.
Does father know the real situation of Wall's defenders? He is the guardian of North, he must know, but when oneself proposed to father to join Night's Watch, Duke Stark agreed without any hesitation or dissuasion, which made Jon feel even more heartache.
Is the kindness in the past just a cover up, under this mask, the father actually hates oneself?
...
"No wonder." Jon in a low, muffled voice said, trying to cover up oneself's grievances, "No wonder you tried your best to get out of here, this ghost place... this ghost The place is so cold."
"Yeah, it's cold." Just cold? It's bitter and sinister. Igor was amused, no matter how precocious or tall and strong the young man in front of him was, he was just a child after all: "You have to look at it from another angle - I only got the chance to leave here when I met a great character with good intentions by chance. If you are summoned, you have to come back immediately; and you, as long as you quit before taking the oath, you can go back to Winterfell at any time, and you will never have to come back for a lifetime." , to say that it is not exciting, of course impossible. But now the father who can protect him has left North for King's Landing as Prime Minister, and Winterfell is now Lady Stark calling the shots. And Catelyn Tully's attitude towards oneself, the illegal child, can almost be described as hatred... In addition to eating better and staying warm, maybe I haven't been comfortable in Wall yet.
He came to the Wall, and it was impossible to return to Winterfell. To put it nicely, this is called valuing honor more than pleasure; to put it uglier, it is a life-threatening punishment. Like Tyrion, who had been slapped in the Lord Commander's office moments earlier, Jon would choose to save face.
"If you choose to persevere, then you have to think about how to fit in here." Seeing that he didn't speak, he continued to speak: "To become a Night's Watch, you have to stay here for the rest of your life, and this life, whether it is long or short, can be controlled by oneself. That martial skill that I learned bullied those peasants, Smith, miners' children and even orphans, thinking about venting their disappointment with the Night's Watch Legion on the same recruits, sooner or later, a brother will stab you in the stomach while you are not prepared. "
"I saw you and the recruits in the morning." Tyrion also approached: "It was not practice at all, if you had a real sword, they would have died several times." You humiliated them completely without mercy, I remember - you decided to join Night's Watch after listening to Igor's story about the Others and the wildling army, don't you think it's a good idea to beat these guys who haven't even touched the real guys Proud?"
Jon blushed, he was really proud when he won.
"He's a smart guy, he understands everything he should know, but it's just a sudden misfortune and a temporary imbalance in his heart." Igor didn't intend to imitate Tyrion's sharp teeth and sneer at anyone. dwarf is not afraid to offend people, but oneself is not enough. In the face of a potential protagonist, he is willing to take some time to release some kindness: "Jon, we are not secretive, we all know that you only want to do a major event before choosing. This way, but have you ever thought that if Wall is a place where you can do major events and stay comfortable, how can you possibly be short of people?"
"I—" Jon was at a loss for words, Igor said. It makes sense, he can always make sense, but what he needs now is comfort!
"In my hometown, there is an old saying. Before God assigns a major mission to a man, he must first torture his heart, exhaust his body, and make him unhappy. He has become stronger and more capable."
Igor moved out of the famous chicken soup for the soul in ancient times of the Chinese Dynasty - the great responsibility of the heavens is also for the people, and they must first work hard on their minds and bones. It is really difficult to say this sentence in Westeros language, and although the life of Night's Watch is hard, it is not enough to starve, so he omits the latter half of the sentence: "If you want to do major event impossible, it will be smooth sailing, but as long as you stay strong. If you go through hardships and hardships, you will surely gain something..."
The teenager interrupted him in dissatisfaction: "It's easy to say, then why don't you stay and endure hardship with me?"
"I am not an illegalimate child." Igor shrugged and replaced oneself with the identity of the Chinese aristocrat: "I am an only child, I don't need to do a major event to prove anything, as long as I can return home safely, naturally Can inherit the family business...and you can't. I don't discriminate against illegalimate child, Jon, your birth is your father's fault, but this world is so cruel - you have to pay for your father's fault." Because he Already dead, Igor's tone slowed down. After all, he didn't come to teach the boy a lesson: "If you feel really lost, that's fine, I'll show you the way."
Jon raised his eyes and stared at him. With Igor, wait for the following.
…
“What do you think is the greatest glory that Night's Watch could possibly achieve?”
“Do your duty to keep the North and Seven Kingdoms safe. "
"No, what you said is just a basic mission that a qualified Night's Watch should accomplish." Igor shook his head and bluntly denied the illegalimate child's answer: "The greatest achievement of Night's Watch." , is to destroy the Night's Watch Legion and overthrow the Wall."
