Chapter 735
Eastwatch.
Sun goes off after the third day, noon.
The north wind is howling, murky heavens dark earth, no sky light, falling snow as thick and disgusting as the thin silk stockings of the beautiful lady.
Well, silk stockings are supposed to be light and thin, but it's snowflakes that make them big and heavy.
Beauty's silk stockings are supposed to make people crazy, like falling snow to teach literati poker poetry, but the snow in North is like silk stockings worn on the big smelly feet of a gorgeous brawny man husband In general, make Night's Watch not like it anyway.
The underpass called "Wormwalks" by Night's Watch, Night's Watch Dining Room.
A thin monkey-like yellow-haired teenager licked the mashed potatoes from the dinner plate and stomped: "Beyond the wall is so cold! I thought it was cold enough to fish barefoot in Blackwater Rush, didn't 't expect Wall to be so cold in thick sheepskin boots."
The tall young man on the side cleaned up the plate with slices of bread, said solemnly: "Although it is cold, there is food and clothes to wear here. , is much better than sleeping on the street and eating brown soup in King's Landing.
In Wall, we live as human beings."
Skinny monkey nodded said with a smile: "No Just like one person, we're still big heroes guarding the Seven Kingdoms!
Thanks to the Shiquik uncle for sending us here, filling our stomachs and earning two Silver Coin salaries while being big heroes.
Two per month, save a little bit, enough for my two little sisters for a few months!"
"Not only Shiquik uncle, but also Daenerys Your Majesty, if Without her, we would have starved to death on the streets a few years ago." The tall young man sighed.
Slim Monkey's eyes blurred, muttered: "It was like a dream, when I was begging on the street, I could meet Dragon Queen and Ser Barristan.
Thanks to my good eyes, At that time, I thought she was very unusual, so I pulled you all over."
The tall young man coldly smiled, "Come on, your eyes are really good, you can see at a glance that she is a big fat sheep, it's a pity— —"
"cough cough..." The skinny monkey boy interrupted his friends embarrassedly, "We were working under Scarface Lupin to make a living, and if we didn't finish the mission, we would have no food!"
"Jimmy, Tom, it's time for you to be on duty!" Ulmer the hunchback came over, slapped his palms with frostbite scars on the greasy thick iron wood dining table a few times, and scolded loudly:
"Have you forgotten the time? The brothers above are all waiting to come down for dinner, why are they still ink-staining here!"
Tall Tom stuffed the cleaned mutton and carrot soup bread into his mouth, vaguely speaking. Qing said: "Instructor, we haven't finished our meals yet. What's the hurry?"
"Next time, I'll wait for you to be hungry. I'll see if you're in a hurry."
The two rookies Night's Watch stopped arguing, and quickly handed the dinner plate to Cook Hogan, put on gloves and cape, picked up the Dragonfang of oneself, and followed veteran Ulmer along Wormwalks to the noose lift.
Jimmy and Tom's field of vision increased as the crunch of overhead slings echoed through the cold winds of Angry Roar's empty castle.
"Before I came to the Wall, I always thought that the Red Keep of Whore Queen Dowager was the tallest building in the world," the thin monkey sighed while looking at the dark sky in the distance, "If it's Summer, stand down on the Wall. Look, the sea is blue in the east, wildflowers are in the south, and there are rugged hills in the west... The sea, the plains and the mountains are taking in the entire scene, unimaginable beauty!"
"You brat has the innate talent to be Bard!"
Ulmer glanced at him, not knowing whether it was sarcasm or genuine compliment.
"Really?" Thin Monkey took his words as a compliment and recognition, he smiled and said: "I will work hard to learn to read and write from Maester Harmune, and strive to become a qualified Bard, then I can be a Wandering Crow, come back to King's Landing often!"
"Wandering Crow..." Ulmer smiled coldly, "The last Wandering Crow was also a singer, his face was as handsome as an aristocratic Young Master, His voice is like thunder with honey added, loud and sweet, guess how he is doing now?"
"Become the honored guest of the nobles, loved by nobles and ladies?" Thin Monkey looked forward to road.
"As a singer, he is indeed very popular with women. Unfortunately, he is a Night's Watch, and he is a special recruiting officer for Night's Watch. As a result, he did not recruit anyone, but lost oneself. "
"Lost oneself?" Thin Monkey was puzzled.
"He fell in love with a little bitch named Rosey, tried to take off his black clothed and eloped with her, but was caught and beheaded by the Old Man of Oldtown - remember, boys, Seven Any noble in the Kingdoms is eligible to cut off the head of any Night's Watch deserter."
"I'm not planning to be a deserter again." The Thin Monkey muttered.
"When you long for the outside world, it's not far from being a deserter." Ulmer indifferently said.
"I don't crave the outside world. It's pretty good here, with food, clothing and money."
"Then you said earlier that you were going to King's Landing."

"I have two younger sisters who live in King's Landing Flea Bottom, they are so small...I'm not worried with Shiquik uncle taking care of them, but it's better to go back often." Jaremy the monkey's low voice circled in the wind and drifted into the distance.
"Click--" The iron cage rose to the top of the shaft.
"Why did I come here, I'm starving to death."
As soon as the three of them went out, there were three Night's Watches complaining about getting into the iron cage.
"Squeaky..." The iron cage slowly fell.
On the east side of Crane, on the city wall near the bay, a wooden hut was built for guards.
A large pot of charcoal is lit in the house, which is supposed to be warm and cozy, but this is an observation post, the wooden door facing beyond the wall wide open, embracing the wind and snow from the extreme northern lands unreservedly.
"The clerk should give every Night's Watch sentry a helmet with a crystal mask," the tall young Tom complained.
"The helmet is stuffed with fluffy cotton," Jaremy added.
"You two young summer chickens from the south, you know how hard it is to go beyond the wall!" Ulmer stuffed a piece of Sourleaf into his mouth, chewing and contemptuously saying: "Standing guard at the Wall is already the easiest It's your job!
If you can't stand the wind and snow, and you enter the Haunted Forest alone, how can you survive!
So, you should be Now is the time to exercise, because if you go to beyond the wall, you will only think that oneself does not have two eyes on the back of the head, and you will not think about seeing Others' crystal helmet."
"Going beyond the wall is swimming. I don't want to be a ranger, I don't want to be a ranger. The death rate of the rangers is too high, and I have to live to earn wages to support my younger sister." The thin monkey shook his head again and again.
"Ai, no ambition," the 30-year-old Ranger shook his head, "Ranger is the most glorious profession of Night's Watch.
From Good Queen Alysanne back then, to Now the Dragon Queen under Megatron, after coming to the Wall, the objects of high praise and admiration are all Rangers.
You think you can get two Silver Coins every month, because you stand Sentinel in the snow?
hehe, that's for the Rangers, you little brats took a lot of advantage, and met a rich and generous Queen,"
"ah , Dragon Queen also admires Rangers..." The skinny monkey boy couldn't help but fascinated, murmured, "When my younger sister grows up and gets married to a good family, I will definitely—"
"Ah—" Suddenly, the taller Tom shouted, pointing beyond the wall, and tremblingly said: "Instructor, look down, what is that?"
"What a shock— —" Ulmer looked outside with his probe, pupil shrinked, and the voice stopped abruptly.
The snow covered the Haunted Forest in the distance like a thick quilt.
Between Heaven and Earth The last touch of green is also hidden under the pale snowdrifts.
At a glance, the vast land seems to be covered with a white blanket sprinkled with even coal ash, which is gray and gray.
In the darkness, one or two...hundreds of light blue stars suddenly flickered.
It's like having hundreds of blue diamonds in the corners of a blanket.
It's not bright, just like covering your eyes with a layer of gauze to look up at the bright starry sky.
misty, but absolutely true.
"Bring the telescope, and the torch. You two, hurry up and throw the two torches down." Ulmer seemed to hear another person yelling hysterically in his voice, his voice.
"Boom -- hu hu --" The two firewood filled with kerosene burst into flames, and were then thrown out with force.
Then, the two novice Night's Watch heard a terrified howl from the oneself commander - "Others! Others army!"
After receiving a large number of Golden Dragon support from the Dragon Queen, the telescope It has become a must-have item for Sentinels.
All two King's Landing teenagers also clearly saw that the torch fell to the ground and the flame was quickly extinguishing, but with the last glimmer of light, they saw the most terrifying picture they had ever seen in their lives: The densely packed corpses are like the wheat grains on the threshing ground of the landowner's house, layer upon layer, boundless, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
Jaremy swears there's not that much of the whole King's Landing together.
What's even more terrifying is that all the corpses stared at oneself with wide eyes that emit faint blue light.
Fortunately, the telescope was passed through a rope and hung around the neck of the sentinel, otherwise, the telescope would fall by accident just because of the fright just now.
"This is the legendary Others? Why are there so many!" the skinny monkey Jimmy cried out.
"Quick, quick, horn!" Ulmer urged eagerly.
Two teenagers Night's Watch hurriedly propped up the horn, "woo-woo-woo-"
One sound, on behalf of the friendly forces; two sounds, on behalf of the Wildlings attack; three sound, representing Others.
The low and loud horn overwhelmed the howling north wind, awakening the "huge" war machine behind the Wall -- fifteen hundred fully armed black clothed persons.
Well, 1,500 people couldn't even turn a splash on the battlefield of Slaver's Bay Meereen, but in the North, they were definitely a force to be reckoned with.
Thinking back to when Old Bear was still alive, the 500-kilometer Wall was only 1,000 Night's Watch in total.
Because of the intervention of the Dragon Queen, the regular army of Night's Watch has exceeded 15,000. The 17 castles of the Wall are all arranged with guards, and the 500-mile Wall is almost all under the monitoring of Night's Watch.
Similar to what happened when the Wildlings crept over the Wall, it is forever impossible to happen today.
"Drowned God is above, the Others are on the offensive!" Eastwatch guard Captain Cotter Pyke exclaimed in horror.
Well, Cotter Pyke is from the Iron Islands and believes in Drowned God.
At this point, more than 200 Night's Watchers have boarded the Wall, and hundreds of others are waiting for orders in Wormwalks.
The kerosene bombs were thrown from the trebuchets in a fiery red trail, illuminating a small patch of sky, before falling on Wights' head, lighting a bonfire.
white's freezing fog is thick like a veil, quickly extinguishing all flames.
