Chapter 7 Expulsion

Author: Leaning on the railing and letting the wind blow

The rabbit meat was sprinkled with finely chopped onions, and it tasted mellow and crispy. Snow couldn't stop after taking a bite. The brothers of the Night Watch were not so particular about their food, so they grilled the meat with the original flavor of the onions.

It's good to have something to eat in this place where birds don't poop.

The rabbit meat is grilled like this until it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the onion juice is mixed with honey. It's simply awesome.

The honey was obtained by Tyrion, and there was also a cook among his servants. The honey was usually used to make water for Tyrion to drink.

In order to get Honey Cole, he gave half of the rabbit to him. What a greedy Lannister.

Food seemed to have brought Snow and him closer together. After all, he was only a child of about fourteen years old. Although he was past the age of being greedy, he still couldn't resist the temptation of taste.

He complained: "I thought the Night's Watchmen were all like Uncle Benjen, and of course you are too."

"Are you a little disappointed?"

Snow nodded, this place is simply terrible, they are all a group of exiles from the kingdom, this is a place where filth and evil are hidden.

"Actually, it's not as bad as you think," Cole said. "What you see is just their identity in the kingdom, but here they have said goodbye to everything in the past, their wives, parents, and children.

Maybe they are not a man of honor, not a knight, don't know humility, or even a good person, but they are night watchmen, and when the long night is approaching, they will be the strongest line of defense for mankind."

"There is nothing wrong with choosing the Night's Watch, Snow. The Night's Watch who can tolerate criminals and nobles is like the Great Wall, full of glory. If the White Walkers come, humans will watch each other."

Snow listened silently, and suddenly another voice intervened, "You are too alarmist, little cook."

It was Tyrion who was standing next to the table. He was only a little taller than the table, and only his head was exposed.

"Those old guys are so boring." He pushed Cole and wisely made room for him, and he jumped up.

"Old Nan's story can only scare a seven-year-old child." He said jokingly: "You don't even plan to join, but you still want to trick others into staying in this ice and snow."

The White Walkers should be a story that every old nurse in the castle likes to tell to scare children.

Snow was stunned for a moment, then turned his gaze to Cole, as if asking, is this true?

Finally, I met a relatively interesting person in the night watch, but it turned out that I was not the same person. It was like meeting someone with a pole on the fishing road and trying to get close to him, but it turned out that the person was clinging to dragonflies.

There was some resentment in his eyes for a moment.

"I've never been outside the Great Wall. Who knows that there are no White Walkers? Maybe it's not just White Walkers, but many ancient spirits may be hiding outside the Great Wall." He knew that these people would not believe it until the evidence was revealed.

This is the rhetoric.

Talking about the White Walkers to them now is like talking about Ultraman. Maybe people who believe in the Light will not be regarded as crazy, but people who believe in the White Walkers will definitely be regarded as fools in Westeros.

It seemed that he was successful in changing the subject. Tyrion then began to talk about the White Walkers in an embarrassing manner, citing scriptures. He had read many books, at least the books in the palace library and Casterly Rock were almost all involved.

The stories in his mouth were very interesting and vivid, and some historical secrets were casually told.

Sometimes I have to admire the knowledge contained in this small body.

Listening to the story, Snow's tiredness and melancholy instantly dissipated. After coming to the Great Wall for so long, Snow had never been so happy. They were like a few friends bragging and spanking each other by the fire after dinner. He liked this.

The atmosphere made him feel as if he had returned to Winterfell and his days with Robb and the others.

At that time, his adopted son Greyjoy would also share stories with them like this. Although he didn't like the guy named Theon Greyjoy, he had to admit that his stories were as interesting as Lannister's.

The three of them laughed and laughed at night. After the sky gradually darkened, the night watchmen began to return to the tower in twos and threes to rest.

The commander-in-chief, who had been sitting in the main seat, walked towards them. He should be going back to rest.

"Hey guys. What are you talking about?"

Cole and Snow both stood up, this was the leader of the Great Wall.

A smile appeared on Mr. Xiong's hard face, and he motioned for them to sit down.

Tyrion is crossing his legs, he doesn't need to salute.

Mr. Xiong sat down next to Snow. He looked at Cole. In a sense, he watched Cole grow up. When he was a child, the naughty Cole didn't know what superiority was and even pulled his beard.

.

He was not yet the commander-in-chief at that time.

"As for your departure, I agree. Although the Night Watchmen are not rich, they will prepare armor and swords for you. Go and pursue your dream of knighthood. I hope that there will be a man named Cole in the legends of future generations.

The little guy left his name."

Cole was stunned for a moment. He did not remember that he and the Commander-in-Chief said that he wanted to leave, although he had this idea in his heart.

The Night Watch may seem like a place that outsiders should avoid, but for Cole, it is his home where he has lived for 14 years, and many people here are very kind to him.

Looking at this old man who was betrayed and died by his men after leaving the Great Wall, he suddenly felt guilty. It was these people who had taken care of him until now. He was like a child of the night watchman, but he could not do anything for the night watchman.

"I"

Mormont stretched out his hand to stop him, "Now that I am officially expelling you as the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, Cole. There will be no place for you in the Night's Watch."

He turned his head and walked away. Maester Aemon looked over as if he was aware of it, and the flabby muscles on his face forced a smile.

Mormont also looked over, and he said to himself, let Aemon do the good things, and let Mormont do the bad things. In the past, Commander Kogel would spank him when he was disobedient, but later this right was given to Mormont.

Simon's hand.

Cole finally looked at Tyrion. The little devil raised his head and shrugged, "It's none of my business, but you can follow me when the time comes."

The Commander-in-Chief's eyes were firm as if he was expelling a criminal, but everyone knew his intention. Some of the night watchmen who were still sitting in the hall looked at him with envy. This was the first time someone had left the night watch.

Of course, Cole has never sworn an oath, so he is not considered a real Night Watchman.

Once a Night Watchman takes an oath, he will fulfill his duty until death. Snow was able to leave because he had already given his life once. But in the end, this kid came back on his own.

Some people started to applaud. His popularity here has always been very good. When he was a child, he was the little carrot teased by the black-shirted soldiers. Now that he has grown up, he is also popular for his good cooking skills.

Some people pretended to be sad and sighed: "Oh, I will go there to drink delicious broth in the future."

For a moment, the whole hall burst into applause, as if they were bidding farewell to a soldier who was about to leave.

Only Weegee was a little sad. His only friend was Cole, but he was leaving and might not come back.
