King of The Wall

Chapter 180 Killing without blood
Including judges, guards, witnesses and defendants, all looked towards The sudden speaker.

The black clothed was so conspicuous, and Renly had seen Igor during the Vale counterinsurgency, so he recognized him immediately - in fact, if Igor hadn't been arrested by the Prime Minister, he would have been the first whistleblower To testify in court. After unexpectedly stunned for a few seconds, Renly recalled that oneself was the judge: "It turned out to be our Others killer, Lord Igor - permission to speak."

"I, Igor West, as Chief Night's Watch In the name of the Logistic Officer and the Chief Recruiter, to deny this person's request to put on black clothed and join the Legion." The position of the Chief Recruiter is fictitious, not appointed by Mormont, but the Lord Commander on the initial certification issued when he parted with oneself I have indeed entrusted oneself to recruit soldiers, and the relationship here is complicated... Whoever wants to question, Igor will answer him - if you don't mind the trouble, just write to Wall and ask.

"Night's Watch Legion is an ancient and honorable organization, and does not accept such scumbags without bottom lines and principles!"

＊＊＊

Littlefinger The defection and the second note incident that followed, made Igor deeply understand what it means to "fight a tiger and not die, but there will be troubles in the future". And the conflict with Slynt because of Nina made him realize how disgusting it is to be an enemy of villains.

This kind of experience, once in a lifetime is enough.

Let Slynt get his way to the Wall to do things? Give him a chance to "devise revenge on oneself while disgusting Jon Snow"? Don't even think about it! Because of Vale's suppression of the rebellion, Wall's oneself already has a bunch of opponents. If people like Slynt are still allowed to run over, oneself has really cultivated gravediggers by himself.

It stands to reason that the best solution is to have Slynt join the Night's Watch Legion first, and then try to quietly kill it. But this requires a lot of energy and brains. Slynt seems to know quite a few Night's Watches. Once an accident occurs, there will be endless trouble... Igor decides after a brief consideration—oneself this time, just and honorable revenge , not afraid of doubt!
As the chief logistics officer of Night's Watch and the founder of the Night's Watch industry, he doesn't need the illusory reputation of kindness and tolerance, and he almost died in the hands of the other party. How can he forgive him?

From the moment he escaped from the assassination on the night of chaos, Igor swore that he would never give such a villain a chance to hurt oneself again. He doesn't want to be a bad guy, but in this cold and cruel world, the good guys can survive only if they are more cunning and vicious than the bad guys.

Slynt must die, the dead villain is the best villain!

＊＊＊

"Don't accept this kind of scum!"

Igor's voice echoed in the throne room, and it circled around the stone pillar, It took a long time to disperse.

Put it before, if any Night's Watch said this devotion to righteousness that inspires reverence in public, it would definitely cause have a big laughter - Night's Watch Legion, not the place to deal with the placement of scumbags ? It's not an international joke that the garbage station doesn't collect garbage... But in today's courtroom, at least half of the participants had seen the ghoul Edd put under the traitor corridor for display; and the public speaker Another Legendary "Others Killer" Igor West... Times have changed, and this time his statement on behalf of Night's Watch not only didn't provoke ridicule, but also caused a lot of applause.

Only then did Slynt find out that Igor had actually come to the court scene. As the boss of the Night's Watch industry, the leader of the winner... This black clothed bastard actually came to break oneself back without realizing it. Drop in price!
"Igor West, my ancestors! I can't be the Night's Watch this time, and I won't let you go if I'm a ghost--uh--"

The guard couldn't listen to it anymore, and directly put the The cloth ball that had been in his hands for a long time was stuffed into Slynt's mouth, giving him no chance of contaminating everyone's ears.

"Night's Watch is not afraid of demons and ghosts." Igor stood up straight, and the few days in prison had not worn away the imposing manner of his chief logistics officer: "You turned into a ghost and came to me, I I'll kill you again!"

"Wait!" Igor's response even attracted applause from several men, just when everyone thought for the second time that the outcome of the trial was doomed, Another black clothed person——Ser Alliser, who was sitting not far to the right of Igor, stood up: "I have lived for so long, and I have never heard of a law that Night's Watch Legion can refuse a request to join!"

…

Igor frowned at his colleague from Castle Black. He knew that Alliser knew Slynt, but he didn't know exactly how they were related. Is this old hedgehog just fighting against oneself, or is his relationship with Slynt good enough for him to stand up in public to save his life?
"Who is this, please introduce yourself?" Renly was still a brat hiding in Storm's End when the Battle of the Slayers happened. He could not possibly know the former King's Landing garrison officer, now Castle Black Instructor.

"Under Alliser Thorne, my lord."

"It's Ser Alliser." Renly didn't know who it was, but had heard of the name and knew of House Thorne in Crownlands , pretending to be nodded suddenly, looked at the two Night's Watch who held different opinions, but found the corners of his mouth raised in amusing: "Tell me directly, you two who has the final say."

Who said Calculate? Igor turned to Alliser and asked with a smile, "Ser Alliser, what is your role in the Night's Watch Legion?"

"I'm the recruit trainer for the Night's Watch Legion, and Igor is the chief logistics officer. Official, theoretically speaking, his position is higher than mine, I have no objection.” Alliser was not fooled at all, but instead retreated, he confessed this loudly, and resolved Igor’s attempt to suppress people with his position: “But What I'm questioning is whether a Night's Watch officer has the power to 'reject a request to join'. It's not about rank!"

(Witty answer, but Ser Alliser, you sure want to talk big with me ?)
Igor chuckled in his heart, except for Margaery Tyrell, who was born with nobility and no place to speak, except Margaery Tyrell, who is not afraid of just debating Igor: "Indeed, there is never a law. It has been said that Night's Watch Legion can refuse an application to join, but again, it has never been said that it can't! Where I come from, there is a saying, 'If the law prohibits it, it is allowed' - if the law does not expressly prohibit it, then I can do it. Then I think that since the law doesn't stipulate that I can't refuse, I'm allowed to refuse!"

＊＊＊

Igor is secretly changing the concept, the bully is Alliser is neither smart nor literate enough to debate oneself. "The law is allowed without prohibition", there is no problem in logic, but it needs to be emphasized that this sentence only applies to individual citizens. People with a little legal knowledge will know how to refute oneself. This seemingly flawless sentence has the corresponding other half: "You can't do anything without the authorization of the law"!
It is permitted if it is not prohibited by law, and cannot be done if it is not authorized by law.

This sentence may seem inconsistent, but it represents two situations. It must not be taken apart and used everywhere. The first half of the sentence protects the individual, and the second half of the sentence constrains public power—just like Arrest requires a warrant, a search requires a warrant, and a war requires authorization. Igor is speaking on behalf of the Night's Watch Legion. He is not an individual. The second half of the sentence should apply - that is: there is no authorization from Commander Mormont to represent the Night's Watch Legion. , he is not qualified to be the first to refuse others to join the application in the name of Night's Watch Legion!
＊＊＊

In theory, but how many people in this world can quickly sort out the relationship and debunk Igor's sophistry, and then quickly strike back from the right angle? Renly couldn't, Slynt's mouth was gagged, and Ser Alliser blushed. He couldn't find anything to refute for a long time, and finally he could only say: "There has never been such a precedent, this is out of order!"

"No, there is a precedent!" Igor didn't hesitate for a second: "In the initial stage of Night's Watch establishment, only people who were skilled in bowing and horses, physically strong and could use at least one weapon could join... Is it the same as rejecting an untrained ordinary person? The Night's Watch Legion stands in the north of the North, to fight against wildlings and natural enemies of mankind, to protect the safety of all the people of the Seven Kingdoms... And our Lord Slynt, look at his brutal and fierce With an unreasonable temperament and a look of weakness with white hair on his head, when he arrives at the Wall, I really don't know how many brothers will be sent to watch him to prevent him from continuing to mess up. Even if he doesn't have the guts to act recklessly, I have to ask, just him This cowardice, is he protecting us, or are we protecting him!?"

"Well said!" Arya clapped and screamed, no one dared to scold the Prime Minister's daughter for disrupting the court order.

Alliser's chest rises and falls: "You are using public office to avenge private wrongs!"

I am using public office to avenge private wrongs! Igor almost tore his clothes off and yelled at the arrow wound on his shoulder, but this refreshing thought was only simulated once in his mind, and the words changed completely: "Ser Alliser , please pay attention to your words, you are slandering and attacking your superiors! Whether I have this authority or not, whether you say it or not, it does not matter if I say it, it must be judged by Commander Mormont. But he is not here now, fortunately , Master of Laws is the most authoritative authority in the legal world of Seven Kingdoms, Lord Renly, I ask you to decide this matter!"

Renly opened his mouth, he is indeed Master of Laws As for the legal issue, he is not really skilled in business, he is fine by memorizing the provisions of the law, and explaining and judging controversial problems... It is really difficult for him.

But what era is this? In Westeros under the feudal lord system, the word of the king is the law! The King is not there, and the Hand of the King is not there. The Master of Laws is the law, and this is the world of individual rule!
 …

Renly pondered, he hadn't studied Night's Watch discipline and history, but he also hadn't figured out the logic of the phrase "law is allowed without prohibition", and Igor and Alliser between the two He is also more familiar with the former, and as for Slynt... he didn't even want to save his life, so there is no suspense in the result.

"Very good, then I'll decide." Renly tapped the arm of the lower chair with his fingers, and after thinking for a few seconds, he made a decision: "The general recruiter of Night's Watch has the right to refuse others' requests. Join the application, The Wall is a bulwark used to protect the Seven Kingdoms, not a place where lawbreakers escape punishment! Defendant Janos Slynt, who has just pleaded guilty to all charges against him, now, in the name of King Robert, sentence you to death . The result will be confirmed by the Hand of the King, if there is no problem, at noon the day after tomorrow, the public will be executed in the square of the Great Sept of Baelor to warn the world!"
