Chapter 264 The glory of the past, King's Landing!

vast wilderness.

In the blizzard.

On the King's Road covered in snow.

A huge convoy is slowly advancing.

Snowy weather.

It's all too common in the North, where the winter season comes.

During the long and difficult winter months.

Such snowy days can sometimes last for the first half or a month without a break.

So, even in the weather with snowflakes flying all over the sky.

The huge motorcade heading south to King's Landing will not stop either.

The team stops only at night, when they need to rest, or when there is a severe blizzard.

at this time.

The middle position of the huge team.

Several figures are riding side by side, talking constantly.

"Can Uncle Bunyan tell us about the Great Wall, about the Night's Watch?"

At this moment, Jon Snow turned to look at Bunyan Stark in black robe and said.

He will soon be going to the Great Wall in the extreme north to be a night watchman, and naturally he is eager to learn some information there.

"Great Wall."

Hearing his nephew ask this, Bunyan Stark smiled and then said, "You may have heard of the Great Wall from many people, but it is not the real Great Wall."

"Jon, you'll understand when you arrive."

"So does the night watchman."

Bunyan Stark said with a smile on his face, but he didn't want to say too much.

the heyday of the past.

The tradition of the nobles in the north regarded it as an honor to serve in the Great Wall and to be a night watchman.

The sons of many northern families who are later in the line of succession are willing to wear black clothes, and the shields with coat of arms of the nobles are proudly hung in the shield hall of the Black Castle.

However, since the White Walkers began to disappear.

In its place is a new enemy: "The Savage".

(Savage: A people living outside the Great Wall of Desperation who call themselves "freemen"; but south of the Wall, they are considered "savages" of lawless, uncivilized thieves, rapists, and murderers.)

Gradually, the Night's Watch began to forget about their true foe, the White Walkers, and focused on guarding against the wildlings.

With the passage of time, the purpose of establishing the Night's Watch gradually faded, and due to the neglect of the Wall by the Seven Kingdoms, the Night's Watch was less and less manpower.

At its peak, the Night's Watch had nineteen castles, and the number of legionnaires reached tens of thousands.

Today, there are no more than three castles still stationed by the Night's Watch.

The number of legionnaires was not even a thousand.

And it is that the Night's Watch Legion of less than a thousand people is also mixed with all kinds of people from the seven kingdoms.

Among them were farmers; people who could not pay their debts; poachers, rapists, thieves, and bastards.

Only a few members come from nobles or noble families, and most of them join the Night's Watch as a last resort because they have lost political battles within the kingdom.

The once glorious Night's Watch Legion was dressed in black robes and black clothes.

Now it has become a place where the entire continent hides its filth.

This had to make Bunyan Stark, the chief ranger of the Night's Watch, feel a sense of sadness.

That's why he doesn't want to talk about the Night's Watch in public.

Because of the terrible reputation the Night's Watch has now.

Anyone with some knowledge knows it.

"Morgan, why don't you go to the Great Wall with me too?"

At this moment, the little devil Tyrion Lannister suddenly looked at the figure riding a tall horse beside him and said suddenly.

"With you, we must all be safer."

The little devil jokingly opened his mouth.

Bunyan Stark and Jon Snow on the side looked over, they could naturally understand the meaning of the little devil's words, and they all looked at Morgan.

"There will be a chance, but not now"

Morgan shook his head and smiled.

A place like the Great Wall of Despair in the extreme north is known as one of the nine wonders of the world.

It would be a lie if he said he didn't want to see it with his own eyes.

But now it's more important to go to King's Landing.

The Great Wall of Despair is there, and it won't run, just go to it when the time is right.

"Morgan has an important mission to go to King's Landing this time. I'll go next time."

Jon Snow answered the call for Morgan at this time, and continued: "Next time we come, let's go to the Great Wall and have a drink together."

Seeing Morgan shaking his head, the little devil had already guessed that he was going to follow Duke Eddard Stark south.

At this time, I didn't feel anything about Jon Snow's clearance.

But Bunyan Stark on the side laughed when he heard Jon Snow say he was going to drink on the Great Wall.

Jon Snow immediately asked, "What's wrong? Isn't drinking alcohol allowed on the Great Wall?"

Bunyan Stark just smiled and shook his head: "You'll know when you get to the Great Wall."

At this time, the little devil Tyrion Lannister seemed to have thought of something, turned to look at the chief ranger in black robes and asked, "I heard that the Great Wall is made of ice, this is true. Is it?"

Bunyan Stark shook his head: "Not all, it is made of a mixture of stone and ice."

"It's about three hundred miles long and seven hundred feet high"

"Above the Great Wall, the cold wind and ice and snow whistling all year round"

Bunyan Stark looked at his nephew next to him with a smile and said, "So, do you understand?"

All right.

Hear what Uncle Bunyan has to say.

Jon Snow immediately understood.

In such a harsh environment, going to drink on the Great Wall is a complete guilt.

Looking at his nephew who looked a little embarrassed.

Bunyan Stark smiled: "It's nothing Jon, you haven't been there and you don't know it's normal."

"But your ideas are still very creative and fresh"

"Ha ha."

There are so many chatting together to relieve boredom.

Morgan's journey to King's Landing was far from boring.

But four days later.

The Pang Ran convoy reached a fork in the road.

A desperate Great Wall leading to the far north.

One goes all the way to the south, leading directly to Junlin City, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms.

Morgan is about to part with Jon Snow, Bunyan Stark, and the little devil Tyrion Lannister who is going to pee on the Great Wall.

The weather is fine today.

The sky was bright, windy and snowless.

The huge motorcade leading to King's Landing continued to move forward slowly.

Behind the big team.

Before the fork.

Several people are saying their final goodbyes.

"Jon, it is an honor to join the Night's Watch."

Before the fork in the road, Eddard Stark looked at the white snow in the distance, turned to look at Jon Snow beside him and said.

"We Stark have guarded the Great Wall for thousands of years."

"You are also a member of the Stark family."

"Although you are not named after me, you are my child."

Jon Snow fell silent after hearing the words of his father beside him.

Even though his father treated him and Robb, Brandon and the others the same, Jon was always brooding about his identity as an illegitimate child.

He often felt like an outsider.

Because of this, at the last welcome banquet to welcome the king and queen.

After being discriminated against as an illegitimate child by Mrs. Caitlin Tully, who has always been prejudiced against herself.

He decided to join the Night's Watch, where his origins were unimportant.

At this time, Jon Snow felt a lot better when he heard his father's words.

"Is my mother still there?"

Suddenly, the silent Jon Snow turned to look at his father Eddard Stark and asked, "Is she still alive?"

"Does she know me?"

"Does she know where I'm going?"

"Do you know what I'm going to do?"

Faced with a series of questions from the children next to you.

Eddard Stark was silent.

Look at the child next to you.

At this moment, he had the urge to tell the other party all the real truth.

However, thinking about the huge danger that this incident is likely to accompany, this is something that a child who can still see a trace of greenness in front of him can't bear it.

Take a deep breath.

Eddard Stark looked at Jon Snow and said seriously, "Next time."

"Wait until the next time we meet."

"I'll tell you all about your mother."

"I promise"

Look at the smile on his father's face.

Jon Snow also smiled and nodded.

Father never mentioned his mother in front of him, even though he had asked as many times as he did today.

This time, my father finally gave him a positive answer.

Although still have to wait until the next meeting.

But at least he saw hope, which made Jon Snow very happy.

Jon Snow is saying goodbye to Eddard Stark.

Morgan also watched the little devil Tyrion Lannister and Bunyan Stark say goodbye.

Bunyan Stark: "Morgan, I'll be waiting for you at the Wall"

Tyrion Lannister: "Goodbye to King's Landing then, Morgan, when I get back, I will show you around King's Landing. I know which brothel has the hottest and most beautiful women."

"Haha, then I'll be waiting for you."

"Goodbye you two"

Looking at Eddard Stark who had finished saying goodbye, Morgan smiled and waved at the two of them.

In the past few days, the relationship between the few people has become much more familiar than when they first started.

Now they are good friends.

As soon as Morgan pulled the reins, the radish under him immediately galloped toward the horses of the Duke of Winterfell ahead of him.

Fork in the back.

When Jon Snow's Bunyan Stark saw Morgan and his brother leave.

His feet slammed into the horse's back, and the horse under him immediately rushed out.

Jon Snow and the little demon Tyrion Lannister who were led by a Night's Watch soldier followed immediately.

The five people moved toward two roads, and the two directions quickly went away.

And finally disappeared into the boundless wilderness of white snow.

"Morgan, Arya's character is a little lively, you can help me look at it."

Seeing Morgan following, Eddard Stark immediately turned to look at Morgan and said.

"Lord I know."

Morgan nodded.

Although he was named by Eddard Stark to follow him south to King's Landing.

But the other party did not give him a change of position, nor did he give any orders.

Morgan is still a swordsman, but from a swordsman in Winterfell, he has now become a Stark family swordsman, not a temporary one.

Although there is no specific job title.

But Morgan has proven his strength several times.

Plus the importance of Duke Eddard Stark and Lady Catelyn.

This time, he was no longer the swordsman who had no real power in Winterfell.

This time, there were less than 100 soldiers guarding the Stark family going south.

Morgan can command all of these guards, including the captain of the guard, if needed.

It was the day before the large procession left Winterfell.

Mrs. Catelyn specially brought in what Morgan had specially ordered in front of a group of selected escort warriors.

Now, Morgan was instructed by Eddard Stark to take care of Arya.

It made Morgan feel like he was the steward of the Starks heading south this time, rather than a swordsman.

The two briefly chatted a few more words, and soon caught up with the slow-moving large team.

Duke Eddard Stark rode straight to the front of the large group to chat with King Robert Baratheon.

Morgan rode past many people, and quickly came to the rear of the queen's large luxury carriage, beside a delicate carriage pulled by two sturdy horses.

"Your Excellency Morgan."

"Mr. Morgan."

"grown ups."

Morgan's arrival caused the Winterfell cavalry who were escorting the carriage to greet him immediately.

Morgan smiled and nodded, and soon came to the carriage carrying the two girls of the Stark family, Sansa Stark and Arya Stark.

inside the car.

Arya Stark, who was looking gloomy, was angry at her sister Sansa Stark for not letting her get off the carriage.

At this time, when she heard the sound from outside the window, she immediately pulled open the delicate curtains, and looked out of the window of the carriage, and saw Morgan in a black robe walking beside the carriage on horseback.

"Morgan."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Arya, who was just about to expose her lack of politeness, choked back and shouted, "Your Excellency Morgan."

"Jon, did he leave?"

"Did they go to the Great Wall?"

Seeing Morgan's "Second Girl" Arya asked quickly.

She knew that her brother, Jon Snow, would be leaving the big line for the Great Wall today.

Because last night Jon came to say goodbye to her.

She originally thought about going to see her brother today, but there was a sister who liked to make small reports, and her father would not allow it.

Seeing Morgan appear at this time, she immediately asked.

"left already."

Hearing Arya's question, Morgan nodded with a smile, but looking at the eager girl, he grinned and continued: "But before Jon left, he specially ordered me to tell Arya not to worry, he will miss you."

Hearing this, Arya's expression of eagerness disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of joy and excitement on her face.

It sounds strange.

Because of her active personality, she likes to dance with knives and guns, and like weapons, longswords, bows and arrows, which is just the opposite of the noble lady's sister Sansa.

However, her illegitimate brother Jon Snow has always supported her.

In the carriage below her, there was also a slender dagger named "Sewing Needle" that Jon Snow gave her immediately before Winterfell.

Her relationship with her illegitimate brother is better than that of other siblings born to a mother.

At this time, I knew that Jon's brother had specially asked Morgan to tell him.

Arya's originally depressed mood immediately became soaring.

"Really?"

"Did Jon really say that?"

"Then did he say when he was coming back?"

Arya continued to ask happily.

"Of course, I wouldn't cheat on a girl."

Morgan nodded and continued: "But I don't know when I will come back, he didn't say."

"Ow."

At this moment, a slightly dull voice suddenly came from inside the carriage.

Morgan, who had just turned his head, immediately turned back, and saw a furry head that looked very similar to the Erha he had seen before, but with completely different eyes, and was huddled with Arya. .

"Nymeria, what are you squeezing?"

"Ow."

"Go down"

"Ow."

"."

Look at this noisy one person and one wolf back and forth.

Morgan laughed.

With this pair of living treasures, the next long journey may not be so boring.

...

Time passed slowly.

a month later.

The huge motorcade passed the White Harbor where Morgan had stayed, and arrived at the abandoned castle Carlin Bay.

two months later.

The convoy reached the Trident River.

three months later.

The huge convoy from Winterfell finally saw the "King's Landing" located on the east coast of Westeros, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, the location of the Red Fort and the Iron Throne.
