Chapter 235

The closer to the black castle, the closer to the Great Wall, the more obvious the feeling of magic rune. A kind of power of refusal is obviously acting on Zhao Mai. Fortunately, this is not the kind of threat and injury that "if you dare to approach, you will die", but a gentle warning: "no strange things are allowed to pass here.".

In addition to this warning, no other problems have been found at present, but Zhao Mai has a feeling that there must be no place to die. Within the scope of the perception of the natural force, the magic power of the great wall of doom is enormous and unmatched, at least by Zhao Mai's current ability. So he obediently drove to the gate of the black castle, got off and asked to enter.

"What are you here for, again?" The night watchman on the wall thought he had heard the wrong thing, probably because of the coarse ale in mole village. He moved his stiff fingers, held the spear tighter, and poked his head out of the gate.

"My name is Mike. I'm from the south. I'd like to ask the night watchman to let me go to the north of the Great Wall to see the scenery there. " Zhao Mai yelled to the guard on the gate. The sound was blown by the wind and must have spread to the castle.

"The boy must be crazy." Dyke, the night watchman, said to his companion. "Report to the officers and see if you can open the door for him."

It happened that Sir Alisha Dane was in charge of the gate. He sent dyke down to check the car and found nothing suspicious, so he opened the door and let Zhao Mai in. A fine carriage, but only one horse. There were almost no mud spots or snow water on the car body, and the horse seemed unaffected by the ice and snow weather. This is not suspicious? He really wanted to beat dyke, but he didn't expect that boy to be so blind and stupid.

Holding the hilt in his hand, sir Elisha called several guards to stand in front of the coachman. The more he looked at Mike, the more suspicious he felt. After all, no one can ignore the cold weather in the north. People who have driven all the way through the wind and snow shouldn't be so relaxed. "You said your name was Mike. What's your last name?"

"Zhao, my surname is very rare here." Zhao Mai rubbed his hands and said, "who are you, please?"

"Sir Alisha Dane, the chief drillmaster, is responsible for training clay eggs to be night watchmen." Elisha nodded and said, "so you're going to join the night watchman?"

"I don't have that idea yet. I just want to see the other side of the Great Wall." Zhao Mai replied, "it's said that beyond the Great Wall is a magnificent world of ice and snow. It's a pity if you don't go to see it."

"You want to go and die?" Alisha laughed twice. He certainly won't let his suspicious people do what he wants, so he shook his head and refused: "no, you go back the same way, I can't let you pass."

Just then, the little bell of the temple rang. It was the time for Mormont, the commander of the night watchmen's army, to summon the people to take the oath. All night watchmen, except for the accident on duty, will witness the ceremony. Sir Alisha waved his hand to let Zhao Mai go back where he came from. But how can Zhao Mai go back?

"Well, I want to see the sacred ceremony of the night watchman. Is that ok? In this way, even if I go back, I can tell other people the story here, so that more people can learn about helping the night watchman. "

Elisha thought about it, and agreed that it was good for the night watchman. "You're not a night watchman. You can't carry a weapon. So if you want to enter the temple, you have to let me check it! "

Zhao Mai nodded, took out two daggers from his side waist and threw them into the car. Then he opened his arms for him to search. Anyway, his weapon was hidden in his bracelet, and there was no big thing on him.

It's not so much "inviting" Zhao Mai to visit as "escorting" Zhao Mai. He stood at the back of the sanctuary, surrounded by three brothers of men in black standing behind him in a semicircle. Inside the holy hall, a ray of morning light came down from the crevice of the clouds. It happened to shine in at this time. It was reflected on the large crystal in the center of the south facing window, changing into seven colors of rainbow light. A thin friar stood in the light, next to the altar, holding a burning censer in his hand. The smell of incense filled the whole room. The night watchman's brothers, including the recruits, were all sitting on the bench, and no one was blocking Zhao Mai's sight.

Sir Alisha glared at Zhao Mai and walked up to the stage through the crowd. The senior officials of the night watchman were sitting on the stage. Hanging a long chain is the black castle's bachelor, known as "Yimeng master" of the old. His eyes are chaotic, and he has almost lost his eyesight, but he is still able to look after everyone enthusiastically. There was always a mysterious and warm smile on his lips, even to Eliza, who was always cold.

In addition to the chief drillmaster, there are three main persons in charge: Bowen marsh, who is in charge of the general affairs, orsel yawick, the chief craftsman, and Sir Jeremy lake, who is in charge of the Rangers temporarily.

Above all the officials was the night watchman's commander-in-chief, Jay Mormon. He came from Bear Island in the north. He was the head of the Mormon family and the Earl of Bear Island. As he grew older and his children grew older, in order to give up his seat to his son, he chose to join the night watchman and passed the title and territory to Jorah Mormon. He did not expect that his son violated the laws of the north, and did not have the courage to face the trial. He chose to flee like a coward, which made him deeply ashamed.But the oath has been made, one day is the night watchman, until death is the night watchman. Bear Island is now run by Jay Mormon's sister, which at least makes him less worried. Because of his popularity, Mormon, who was honored as "old bear", was elected as the commander of the night watchman. He has been leading this group of "almost forgotten" people in the black castle to guard the Great Wall, which is isolated from civilization and wilderness.

"When you come, you are not allowed by law to poach, rape, kill, rob and abduct; when you come, you are alone, shackled, without friends or honor. When you come here, you may be rich or poor. You're from a wealthy family, or you're just illegitimate, or you're anonymous, but it doesn't matter. When you come here, you are all children, and everything about that child is in the past. On the Great Wall, we have all grown into a family. "

"You have all learned the content of the oath. Please think carefully before you swear. Once you put on black clothes, there will be no way out. If you deviate from your duty, there will only be death penalty." The bear waited for a moment, then continued, "does any of you want to leave? If so, go now. We will never look down on you for that. "

No one moved except Zhao Mai when he changed his foot.

"Very well," Mormon said, "you still have half a day to think about it, because in the evening, before night, you all have to make the final decision to come back here and take the oath in front of friar seleda. Do any of you believe in the old gods? "

A man with curly black hair stood up. He was still a green teenager: "yes, my Lord."

"Well, Jon, I think you'd like to take the oath under the tree of your heart just like your uncle." Said Mormon.

"Yes, my Lord." The stark family believed in the old gods, and so did Jon. The seven gods of the church have nothing to do with him. Although he was a bastard, the blood of his ancestors still flowed in his body.

"There is no Shenmu forest in the black castle, but there is one to the north of the Great Wall. Through the Great Wall, about two and a half kilometers north, you can find a fish beam wood forest. The heart wood you are looking for is there, together with the old God you are looking for. "

"My Lord, that I Can I go with him and take an oath under the heart tree? " Sam will Tully stood up, two times as wide as Jon.

"When did the Talis believe in the old gods?" Mormon was a little strange.

"The Tali family has always been illuminated by the glory of the seven gods, and I was born baptized and named in the Holy Church. My father, and every generation of Tali before him, was like this. " Sam's voice trembled nervously. Of all the officials of the night watchman, old bear was the highest ranking, which made him the most afraid. "I think I will be a night watchman in the future. The seven gods have never answered my prayers. Maybe Maybe the old God will

"That's it, boy. Pay attention to safety on the way and take care of each other." Mormon asked Jon and Sam to sit back. He took a piece of paper from Bowen Maltese, the general secretary, and was about to read it when he saw a stranger in the last row of the sanctuary, who had never seen him, raising his hand and shaking it in mid air. "Well? Who are you? "

Shua, all night watchmen look back at Zhao Mai who is waving. "Oh, Hello, my name is Mike. I just came from the south not long ago. I want to ask if I can go to the north of the Great Wall. I also want to see the yuliangmu. "

Elisha clenched his fist and was about to stand up when he thought that commander Mormont was still by his side. He lowered his voice and whispered a few words to old bear, saying what he knew and the questions in his heart. Xiong shook his head and said to Zhao Mai, "you are welcome here, but I can't let you go to the north of the Great Wall. Only the Rangers of the night watchman can go there. Now, I'm going to continue the ceremony. "

The power of the Great Wall's rune is still strong. Zhao Mai turns his lips and starts to wonder how to get him to agree?
