Sword and Magic and Taxi

The horse was startled by the sudden appearance of Zhao Mai, but this time the person blocking it was a druid warrior, not the fat and stupid Samwell. Kicking forward with his front hoof, Zhao Mai slapped the hoof twice with one hand, and then pressed the horse's chest with his palm, but he himself did not move at all. You can't even pick a war horse, let alone fight!

I'm going to fight for my brother! Jon said stubbornly as he swayed from his horse and finally regained his balance.

I'll tell you what will happen. If you leave the Night's Watch, Mr. Xiong will issue a wanted order for you if he doesn't want the Night's Watch to fall apart. He can't tolerate deserters, let alone the impunity of deserters. Do you understand this?

Yes, I am ready to be despised and scolded.

Too young! Zhao Mai shook his head: This wanted order will also be sent to all the lords in the north, so everyone knows that Duke Ned Stark has a son who betrayed his oath! Yes, you are a Bastard, but you are Ned's illegitimate son. Everyone will wonder, where did your sworn bloodline come from? Did it come from his traitorous father?

My father is not a traitor. Jon's eyes were red with anger, just like Ghost.

You think things too simply. Zhao Mai still stopped him: What do you think will happen to your brother? If he protects you, he will allow an oathbreaker to live well. Then be loyal to him, or to be precise What will those nobles who are loyal to your father think? Anyway, they will live well if they break the oath, so why go to war? The army in the north, ha, your brother still had a bullshit army at that time!

Jon was speechless and looked at Sam sitting on the ground. This was the second time that he was knocked to the ground by a horse, and Jon felt extremely sorry.

If your brother beheads you or hands you over to the Night Watch, the nobles will not say anything, but they will look down upon him and think that he cannot protect his family and brothers. How can he protect his subjects in the north in the future? Especially if everyone raises the flag together. Attacking King's Landing, attacking the king? Zhao Mai continued to tell him the bloody facts, I guess you want to remain anonymous and just join the army to kill the enemy, right? You are too naive. If I can't catch you, It means that your brother is not capable of ruling the North! The Stark family's rule in the North relies on justice, honor, responsibility and ability. Are you prepared to eradicate them by yourself?

Is it so serious? Grant asked Piper beside him with his mouth wide open and his head tilted. Piper tapped his upper and lower teeth against each other a few times, I don't know either, but it sounds reasonable and is indeed quite sensational.

Moreover, no matter how you do it, the Night's Watch will have an irreparable rift with the Stark family in the North because of your wanted arrest. Tell me, do you want your brothers and friends to lose their supplies, and then fight with those who have not Fighting a monster that can move its body and head?

Jon was dizzy and the sword fell from his hand. What should I do? he murmured. I'm back at Castle Black and there's nothing I can do to help.

This is a difficult decision. But one thing you have to remember is that even when your father admitted treason, there was still a chance of survival, and that was to come to the Night's Watch to atone for his sins. King Joffrey is indeed a bastard, no Give your father this chance and behead him. But if you are in Castle Black, your enemies will think, I dare not go to Castle Black because Jon, Stark's son, is there. Your relatives and friends also know that you are here. , if they unfortunately reach the most difficult moment, they will also think, Jon is in Castle Black, I can go to him and seek refuge.

Sam nodded and said quickly: What Mike said makes sense. Just like me, if I couldn't be a night watchman, my father wouldn't know what to do with me. Maybe I would be beaten to death...and Piper, Ge Lan, Eddie, didn’t all of us survive because of the escape route of the Night Watch?”

Jon glanced to the south, where it was still dark, like the shadow of the abyss. He got off the horse, lowered his head and said to everyone, I'm sorry.

We understand how you feel. Piper reached out and grabbed the reins to make sure nothing happened to the horse again. You are not alone, we are all your brothers.

Everyone came up and patted Jon on the shoulder to express comfort. Eddie said: We have to go back quickly so that no one will find out that Jon has left. Remember, if anyone asks, just say that Jon got lost while walking his horse. We found him in Mole Village, what else? Do not know at all.

Okay, I remember. Grant said with a big tongue.

You'd better remember it firmly, and we have to hit the road now. Eddie said, If we don't go back by daybreak, Mr. Xiong might behead us all.

I don't know how. Zhao Mai shrugged: I'm not a night watchman.

Everyone didn't know what to say, so they had to bury their heads in the road. When they were close enough to the Great Wall, everyone saw a spectacular scene: the light of the full moon shone on the entire ice and snow wall, and the Great Wall reflected a halo like crystal, a kind of halo between blue and light yellow. Indescribable light.

I never knew the Great Wall was so beautiful. Todd's eyes widened: I think I will like this big ice cube, second only to my stove.

It is very magnificent, but why didn't we discover it before? Grant is always full of doubts.

None of us have ever come out in the middle of the night before. Eddie said: When we came out to pee in the middle of the night, we would just lower our heads and draw on the ground, right? Who would look up!

Zhao Mai really wanted to say that he had seen it, but Eddie would probably complain about it again, so it was better to keep silent. Under the moonlight, the runes of the Great Wall will be more obvious and ordinary people can feel it. This is the origin of the halo. At this time, he will feel the discomfort of being excluded, often unable to sleep and having to get up. If he was really sleepy, he would take a nap in the car. THE·CHE will help him block this influence.

However, it was indeed the first time for others to see this strange scene, and they couldn't help but be shocked. I think I'll like working the night shift in the future. Eddie said with a sad look on his face. But he quickly added: But don't spread this matter. I don't really have to work night shifts.

Jon had been silent, but at this moment he suddenly said: Mike, I understand everything you said. You are right. But...but why are there neither good choices in the two choices?

You are talking about going or staying, neither of which is good. Zhao Mai said: But in fact, you always have a choice, everyone has it. But that choice seems too stupid, and everyone will ignore it.

What is it?

Work hard, hard work. Zhao Mai said: Look, when you want to break the rules, such as leaving the Night Watch, you will encounter endless resistance. You want to stay, but you can't avoid the worries in your heart. These They are all facts, and facts cannot be changed, only the future can. You say you are a good swordsman, but can you compare to the Sword of Dawn? You say you have excellent riding skills, then you can compare to Dragon Prince Lei Do you want to add more? You said you know how to command operations, so are you comparable to your father? If you have any of the characteristics, things will be different. You are at different levels, and your choices will be different. So think about it Instead of changing your choices, it’s better to change yourself.”

People always hope to save effort, and they think that saving effort is correct and smart. But in many cases, silly efforts are really smart. I met your mother, Caitlin Smith, when I was in the Riverlands. Mrs. Tucker, and Tyrion. She believed that Tyrion was the one who conspired to assassinate your brother Bran, so she arrested him and sent him to the nearby Eyrie for trial.

This...I don't know this.

She chose what she thought was the most direct and trouble-free way, looking for the helper closest to her, thinking that she could avenge her son. Zhao Mai shrugged: If she catches Tyrion, and then goes against everything Risk, choose the stupidest and most laborious way, go to King's Landing with great fanfare, and ask the king for trial. That is the most correct move. She has hostages in her hands and enough attention, but she still acts within the rules. If the Lannister tries to snatch away Tyrion, it will be seen as going against the king. Your father is the Prime Minister, and he has such a good relationship with the king that he can attack the Lannister justifiably.

Tyrion is not the son that Lord Tywin likes, and Tywin does not think Tyrion is the murderer. He also wants to see the Stark family laugh, so this trial is likely to proceed. When all the evidence is presented When it comes to the table, when everyone has to testify in front of everyone, everything will come to light. Jon, do you know why there are rules? It's because human characters have too many flaws and too many changes. . Although the rules are rigid, they are at least a standard. Lady Catelyn Stark’s character flaws were taken advantage of, and she was not prepared enough to challenge the rules. Isn’t it a tragedy?

What you said makes sense. Jon said, But who is taking advantage of her character flaws?

It's meaningless. The facts are already facts. The possibility of exposing the conspiracy was lost when Caitlin broke the rules. Zhao Mai said: The most regrettable thing is that she does not have the power to really break the rules. She has no soldiers at hand. To protect herself, she didn’t have enough resourceful people to assist her, and she didn’t have enough perspective on the overall situation, so she went all the way to a dead end. Since she didn’t abide by the rules, Jaime Lannister would worry about whether she would go further and privately Tyrion will be executed. So this swordsman brother who cares about his younger brother is going to take your father as a hostage, or even include your sister. You see, this is how it started. Insufficient strength, coupled with lazy choices, led to It has developed step by step until now.”

You see things so clearly. Jon said as if he was meeting Zhao Mai for the first time: You are not a night watchman, can you help my brother? I will write a letter to recommend you, and you will definitely be able to help him.

Look, it's another lazy choice. Zhao Mai said: Jon, I'm not doing nothing. I also have my own things to do, and I have to do them hard. I also have my own younger brothers, sisters and family. They In another world, I will work hard for them.”

Are they...dead?

No, just living well in another world. Zhao Mai knew that they would definitely misunderstand, but he could only say this: I'm afraid that one day I will encounter a choice like you, so I have to improve myself , so that I can have a better perspective to change everything. Time is a weird thing, you know?

Everyone shook their heads together, indicating that they didn't understand - oh, Stupid Cow Grant nodded, he seemed to understand everything.
