Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 275
Please bear with me, I will try my best to make it up before the end of the month.Thanks.

So they all fell silent and listened intently.Jon held his breath involuntarily.It must be Sam, he thought.He neither went to see Old Bear nor went to bed, but woke up the other boys.It's terrible, if they haven't returned to the camp before dawn, they will be treated as deserters.What are they thinking?

The silence stretches infinitely.From where Jon crouched, he could see the feet of their mounts through the bushes.At last Pyp said, "What the hell did you hear?"

"I don't know either." Hodder admitted, "But there was indeed a sound, I think it was a horse barking, but..."

"There's no sound here."

Out of the corner of Jon's eye, he caught a glimpse of a white shadow moving through the trees.The leaves rustled and Ghost came running out of the shadows, and Jon's mare gave a soft cry because he came so suddenly. "There!" Hodder yelled.

"I heard it too!"

"I was killed by you." Jon said to the direwolf as he got on his horse.He turned his horse's head and walked towards the forest, but within ten feet they caught up.

"Jon!" Pyp called after him.

"Stop," Grant said, "you can't get away."

Jon drew his sword and rode his horse back. "Stand back. I don't want to hurt you, but if I have to, I'll do it."

"You want a pair of seven?" Hodder waved his hand, and the boys rushed up and surrounded him.

"What are you going to do with me?" Jon demanded.

"We're going to bring you back to where you belong," Piper said.

"I belong to my brother."

"We are your brothers," Grant said.

"If they catch you, you will be beheaded, you know?" Todd smiled nervously, "Such a stupid thing can only be done by a stupid cow."

I will not. "Glenn said: "I will not break my oath. "

"Me too," Jon told them, "but don't you understand? They murdered my father! This is a war, and my brother Robb is fighting in the riverlands—"

"We all know," said Pyp gravely, "Sam told us."

"We're sorry about your father," Grant said, "but it's none of your business. Once you've made the vow, you can't leave, no matter what."

"I must go," said Jon excitedly.

"You swore it," Piper reminded him, "I'll keep watch from now on until I die. Is that what you said?"

"I will do my duty faithfully and live and die here." Grant nodded in agreement.

"You don't need to tell me, I know it as well as you do." Now he was really angry.Why couldn't they just be quicker and let him go?It's not easy for everyone.

"I am the sword in the dark," Hodder recited.

"Guards on the Great Wall." Toad followed suit.

Jon started cursing at them one by one, but they ignored them.Pyp urged his horse forward and continued reciting: "Fire against cold, light of dawn, horn to wake sleepers, shield to guard kingdoms."

"Don't come," Jon warned him, swinging his sword. "Pyp, I mean it." They didn't even wear armor, and if they did, he could chop them all to pieces.

Mesha walked around behind him and joined in the chant: "I give my life and honor to the Night's Watch."

Jon kicked his feet and turned his horse around.But the boys have completely surrounded him, approaching step by step.

"Tonight..." Hodder blocked the opening on the left.

"...Night and night." Pip finished his last sentence, reaching for Jon's reins. "You have two choices: either kill me, or go back with me."

Jon raised his longsword... and dropped it helplessly. "Fuck you," he said, "you're all damned."

"Should we tie your hands? Would you like to go back obediently?" Hodder asked.

"If I don't run," Ghost came running from under the tree, and Jon glared at him. "You're not going to help," he said, but those deep red eyes looked at him as if they knew everything.

"We'd better hurry," said Piper, "if we don't get back before daybreak, the Old Bear will chop our heads off."

What happened on the way back, Jon Snow didn't remember much, only felt that this journey seemed to be much shorter than the southbound journey, maybe it was because of his absent-mindedness.Piper led the team, galloping, walking, trotting, and galloping again.Mole Village has come and gone, and the red light hanging at the door of the brothel has long gone out.Pyp had timed it well, and with exactly an hour to go before dawn, Jon saw the dark towers of Castle Black looming ahead against the pale, gigantic Wall behind him.Only this time, the castle doesn't feel like home anymore.

They could take him back, Jon told himself, but they couldn't keep him.The war in the South is not something that can be resolved in a day or two, and it is impossible for his friends to watch over him day and night.He just had to bide his time, let them let their guard down, think he was willing to stay...and run away again.Next time, instead of taking the King's Road, he'd walk east along the Wall, maybe as far as the sea, and then south over the mountains.It was the road that wild men used to walk. It was rough and dangerous, but it was enough to get rid of the pursuers.From the beginning to the end, he will keep a distance of more than one hundred leagues from Kingsroad and Winterfell.

In the old stable, Samwell Tarly was waiting for them.He sat on the dirt floor, leaning against a pile of straw, too nervous to sleep.Seeing them, he immediately got up, patted the dust and said, "Jon, I...I'm glad they found you."

"I'm not happy," said Jon, dismounting.

Pyp jumped off his mount too, looking at the fading sky with disgust. "Sam, do me a favor and get the horses settled," said the little boy. "It's a long day, but we're not sleeping at all, and it's all thanks to Lord Snow."

After daybreak, Jon walked into the kitchen as usual.Three-Finger Hobb handed Xiong Lao's breakfast to him without saying anything.Today's breakfast consisted of three brown hard-boiled eggs, fried bread, sliced ​​ham and a bowl of wrinkled plums.Jon returned to the King's Tower with his things and found Mormont sitting by the window writing.The crow paced up and down on his shoulder, saying, "Corn! Corn! Corn!" as Jon entered the room, the crow squealed. "Put breakfast on the table." Old Xiong raised his head and said, "I still want to drink some beer."

Jon opened a shuttered window, took a beer bottle from the outside ledge, and filled a horn.Hobb had given him a lemon that had just been taken out of the Great Wall storage room, and it was still iced.Jon crushed it with his fist, the juice dripping between his fingers.Mormont drank beer with lemon every day, claiming it was the reason he still had such good teeth.

"You must have loved your father very much," said Mormont when Jon handed him the horn. "Son, what we love is what we end up destroying. Do you remember when I told you that?" talk?"
