Chapter 234

The black castle is divided into two parts, one at the foot and the other at the top of the Great Wall. It is connected by a lifting system controlled by man and mule, and a set of wooden steps climbing on the wall. Because it is close to the mountain wall, the wooden steps are always frozen. Even if you wear nail boots, you will always slip. It's scary.

So the fat SAMWELL Tali never dared to walk the steps.

In fact, he didn't dare to read anything but books. Although he was born in Hewan Dijiao mausoleum, the eldest son and heir to the title of Lord count Landau Tali, he was not as brave as his father, let alone a warlord. "I only know how to read, not even girls!" His father spoke of him in this way and forced him to join the night watchmen.

To be a night watchman, we should follow the oath of the night watchman, including not inheriting, not marrying, not having children, and guarding the Great Wall to the death. So count Landau was able to get rid of this eldest son and choose his successor from other sons who were more suitable for his temperament. Sam dare not resist, obediently came to the Great Wall. He still can't hold the sword and shoot the crossbow well. Without Jon Snow's help, he can't even survive the recruit training.

He was nicknamed "Miss pig", "Ham man" and so on, just like Jon, who was called "snow man". It's the same as "stupid cow" Glenn, "melancholy" Eddie, "long whistle" piper. They are new recruits receiving training together, and they will also be sworn in as full members of the night watchman. Thank goodness, Sam thought, that includes himself.

If he left the shelter and help of these friends and went on training alone, he would surely be tortured to death by Sir Alisha Thorne. He knew that he was not expected to be a soldier, but it was too miserable for him to die, and he should not have died. Sam tightened his clothes and stood by the elevator at the top of the Great Wall, waiting for the mule to spin the winch and let the rickety cage rise.

"Don't be afraid, no one has ever fallen to death in a cage." He comforted himself in this way. On the other hand, he knew that was not the case. According to the records of night watchmen, forty years ago, seventy-five years ago, 137 years ago and 452 years ago, some night watchmen fell down and died. He hated why he could remember so clearly, and why he always remembered it at such a time?!

"That's too small a chance to happen to you." Sam gave a wry smile, and then his innate fear helped him calculate another chance: the chance of a fat man like him in the night watchman. As a result, he found that his affair seemed more unlikely, but it still happened

The cage finally came up, and he stood trembling in and grasped the handrail for the first time. If he has ten hands, he must hold the handrail with ten. "I'll get used to it, I'll get used to it..." He comforted himself in this way, and then he rang the bell, and the cage trembled suddenly, and then it creaked slowly.

The shaking almost made him fall. He had to pay attention to the upcoming swearing in ceremony and recite the oath in his heart, hoping that he would not make mistakes in this kind of thing. But the snowflakes kept beating him in the face, interrupting his thoughts again and again. Maybe not as cold as others is the only welfare of being fat? Sam thought this way when he saw a carriage approaching the castle from a height.

Once or twice a week, chariots bring supplies from mole town in the south, but not today. Moreover, it seems that it is not a truck, but a carriage, the kind used by nobles for travel. Who will come to black castle at this time? Sam thought hard. The most likely one is from the stark family. After all, Jon Snow is also a member of the stark family. Although he was an illegitimate son, he lived in Winterfell from birth until recently, with his half brothers and sisters.

Not a truck means no fresh food. Sam's biggest complaint about the black castle is the canteen, where the cook should be competent if he goes to feed pigs, but it's difficult to cook for people I can't think that way, Sam said to himself. If anyone knows, I'm afraid it's him who's going to cook. Maybe even, he was cooked.

After swearing in, he will assign positions. If he becomes a cook, he will do another thing he doesn't know how to do. No matter how not loved by his father, he was also the first successor of Jiaoling City, a "young master". Every day's life is taken care of by servants, and it's absolutely impossible to make a fire and cook. He also prayed not to be assigned to Rangers, because that meant patrolling and fighting in the wild, which he couldn't stand. However, the Rangers are not absolutely unacceptable if they can be assigned to a few friends, especially Jon Snow.

Anyway, I have nothing to be good at, ha ha Ha ha Sam wants to laugh, but he can't: I should go to Xuecheng to be a bachelor. It's a pity

With his mind in a mess, he slowly descended to the black castle. The castle, which is backed by the Great Wall, three stone walls and a wooden gate, will be his home in the future. In a little while, taking an oath in the temple will be regarded as the completion of the change of identity. There's going to be one more shanmwell Talley, fat Sam.

"Hey, Sam, it's not so high. Jump down." Piper was on duty at the gondola today. He raised his head and joked: "some parts are frozen. Maybe you'll have a good shock!""Thank you, PIP. I'm not in the mood to laugh too much today." Sam looks better when the basket is steady. "By the way, are you all up? I mean Glen, Eddie and Jon, and they. "

"No one's going to stay in bed unless he's in love with Sir Eliza." PIP was good at imitating other people's voices, and then he learned from Eliza's thick voice and said, "get up, you fools! The mud in the field is 100 times stronger than you

Sam's mouth slightly tilted, reached out and patted the snow off his shoulder, then pointed to the yard and said, "what's the matter with that car?"

Piper shrugged, whistled and shook his head. "I don't know. A young man, looking very interesting, came to the black castle alone. I guess I'm going to join us, too? However, it's strange that they found it by themselves! Who of us is not in a carriage, let the night watchman pick from the cells of all places

"I'm not, neither is Jon." Sam quickly added, "I mean, we Er You... "

"Aha, I see." PIP waved his hand and said, "but I think the place where you and Jon used to stay is similar to a prison. There are stone walls on all sides, aren't there? Now we are so good, only three sides are stone, ha ha. "

"You see, here comes the successor. It's almost time. Let's go to the temple. Don't miss the oath ceremony. " Sam drags pip, drags him along.
