Chapter 188 Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped
"Ser Alliser Thorne is still a member of our Night's Watch. The despicable acts he committed during the duel are unforgivable, but they should be judged by our Night's Watch."
Commander-in-Chief Jeor Mormont looked at Sir Alliser Thorne who was slumped on the ground. His face was a little ugly, and for a moment he didn't know how to punish him.
From the perspective of fairness and justice, he should choose to execute the despicable villain in front of him, and give an explanation to the furious Gao Yuan and the many Night Watchmen who are waiting for answers. But he does not want to lose one of the Night Watchmen because of this.
An excellent instructor for Night's Watch recruits.
To be honest, Alliser Thorne was loyal and dedicated when she served as the recruit instructor in the Night's Watch.
If he had to execute the other party because of his impulsive mistakes, some of the Night's Watch brothers would think that he, the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, was unable to protect his men.
People always make mistakes, and human nature is also selfish. No one can guarantee that they will not make the same unforgivable mistake as Sir Alliser Thorne in the future. Imagine putting yourself in his shoes, everyone hopes that they will
The commander can save his life in this situation.
But he must give Alliser Thorne a severe enough punishment that satisfies Gao Yuan and satisfies other Night Watchmen who uphold fairness and justice in their hearts. Otherwise, his prestige in the Night Watch Legion will be completely destroyed, and his reputation in the Night Watch Legion will be completely destroyed.
Encouraging Ser Alliser Thorne to spread this behavior among the Night's Watch.
So he began to think about how he could negotiate with Gao Yuan to achieve a result that could not only save Alliser Thorne's life, but also satisfy everyone else.
"Please believe that we will give you a satisfactory answer, but before that I need to discuss with other brothers of the Night's Watch what kind of punishment should be given to Ser Alliser Thorne." Commander-in-Chief Jeor Mormont
He solemnly promised Gao Yuan.
But what Commander-in-Chief Jeor Mormont never expected was that Gao Yuan would not accept his political mediation at all.
"Even though he is a member of your Night Watch Legion, according to the commandments of the Seven Gods, he has already lost to me in the duel just now, so his life should be left to my disposal. This has nothing to do with the Night Watch Legion."
Gao Yuan made his request directly. He wanted to take the life of Alliser Thorne. "I believe that the Night Watchman will not interfere with me in taking the life of my opponent in the sacred duel, right? Especially if he is committing a crime," he said.
After committing such a despicable act.”
"This duel is over. After the duel, you no longer have the right to take his life." At this time, Benjen Stark, holding a two-handed sword, stood up and said, "In a trial by combat,
The Seven Gods will intervene in the outcome of the competition, and now this is the result the Seven Gods want to see."
Gao Yuan couldn't help but sneer after hearing this: "Mr. Chief Ranger Stark, the correct statement should be that in the trial by combat, the Seven Gods will stand on the side of justice and interfere with the outcome of the trial. Even according to the result of the trial by combat,
He also deserves to be executed."
"Mr. Benjen Stark, when did you start converting to the Seven Gods? I always thought that members of the North and the Stark family believed in the old gods."
Gao Yuan's reply made Benyan Stark a little embarrassed. He originally thought that Gao Yuan was from across the strait and didn't know much about the customs on the Westeros continent. He wanted to use this to fool him, but he didn't expect
He was actually slapped in the face by Gao Yuan.
"I heard it from my brother's wife, Lady Catelyn..." Benjen Stark's attempt to ease the embarrassment seemed so weak.
"I don't agree with your statement, Stark! Before you intervened, my duel with Sir Alliser Thorne was not over. It was you who forcibly intervened in the duel when I was about to win." Gao Yuan looked at
To Benjen Stark's two-handed greatsword.
When this big sword collided with the Evening Star Blade, a small gap appeared.
After Gao Yuan said these words, the martial arts training ground became completely silent. Neither Commander Mormont nor Benjen Stark could find a suitable reason to continue to refute Gao Yuan.
Seeing this, Gao Yuan no longer paid attention to them, but held the Blade of Evening Star in his hand and walked towards Alliser Thorne step by step. In the eyes of Sir Alliser Thorne, Gao Yuan at this moment was just like
It was the God of Death who controlled his life and death. When Gao Yuan walked in front of him, it was the time of his death.
Time seemed to have passed a hundred years ago. When Gao Yuan came to Sir Alliser Thorne and looked down at his lamb to be slaughtered, Sir Alliser Thorne silently closed his eyes and prepared.
Welcome the coming of death.
I saw Gao Yuan holding up the Blade of Evening Star, which reflected silvery white light in his hand.
"etc!"
At the last moment when Gao Yuan was about to kill Ser Alliser Thorne, Commander-in-Chief Jeor Mormont stopped Gao Yuan's actions.
"Lord Gao Yuan, what will it take for you to let Ser Alliser Thorne go?" Jeor Mormont asked Gao Yuan seriously,
Seeing that Gao Yuan did not respond, the commander-in-chief even played the emotional card: "For the sake of Will, Gary and Sir Wilmar Royce who were traveling with you in the ghost forest, they were all affected by
I am grateful to the new recruit coach in front of you."
He could now see that Commander-in-Chief Jeor Mormont was determined to protect Ser Alliser Thorne. Even the names of the three rangers who died in the Haunted Forest were
He moved out just to stop himself from killing Ser Alliser Thorne.
"You promised me before that you would give me a satisfactory answer, but I am not in the mood or have the time to wait. You and your Night Watch brothers discussed a punishment method that has the best of both worlds."
After this round of negotiations, Gao Yuan's anger has almost subsided. To him, Sir Alliser Thorne is just an insignificant and despicable villain. Whether he kills him or not is not important.
What's important is that Gao Yuan needs the Night's Watch or Commander-in-Chief Jeor Mormont to give him an explanation.
"So I came up with a solution for you that is both acceptable to the Night Watchmen and satisfactory to me. Whether you can accept it or not is up to you." Gao Yuan said calmly.
Commander-in-Chief Jeor Mormont was overjoyed when he saw Gao Yuan making concessions, and hurriedly asked: "What solution? As long as you can spare Sir Alliser Thorne's life, we will try our best to meet your request."
.”
"It's not that simple, Lord Commander Mormont!"
"First of all, Commander-in-Chief Mormont and the Night's Watch under you must agree to a request of mine. No matter how far in the future, when I need the power of the Night's Watch, the Night's Watch must do its best to help.
"
"Only once, and only under the condition that it does not violate the Night Watchman's oath." Gao Yuan added and emphasized.
Gao Yuan did not dare to expect to receive help or loyalty from the Night Watchmen forever. Apart from their duty to guard the Great Wall, the Night Watchmen would not choose to be loyal to anyone. Even if Gao Yuan proposed it, the other party would not be able to agree to such a request.
"Only once, without violating the oath of the Night's Watch, no matter when or where you are, the Night's Watch will do its best to help you." After hearing Gao Yuan's request, Jeor Mormont just thought about it.
After a moment, he agreed to Gao Yuan's request.
"Very good, as long as Alliser Thorne can catch my sword, I can spare Sir Alliser Thorne's life."
Ser Alliser Thorne, who was sitting paralyzed in front of Gao Yuan, couldn't help but be happy when he heard this.
Although he knew that he was no match for Gao Yuan at all. When the opponent dueled him, it was like a cat teasing its prey. However, he still had enough confidence just to catch the opponent's sword.
But before he could be happy for long, Gao Yuan's change of subject sent Ser Alliser Thorne into the marriage ice cellar.
