Chapter 78 Night's Watch Aquan

In order to avoid the attention of the golden robe sons, Igor and Yoren deliberately Picked a place outside the city wall for this shady deal. As soon as the problem came out, all around suddenly fell silent - in this era of single-digit literacy rates, "people who can read and write" are a resource that is not scarce but not abundant, if on this basis If you can add, subtract, multiply and divide again, you will be included in the "talent" column. The qualified members of the Wall's garrison are either volunteers like Benjen Stark and Jon Snow, or unlucky bastards like Alliser Thorne who got on the wrong side of the war and were forced to wear black clothed. But now is the era of peace, how could there be a similar person here, led by a Wandering Crow to the Wall?

Of the dozen or so Night's Watch recruits here, absolutely no one can read - except Jaqen H'ghar.

Without suspense, after a few seconds of silence, a gentle male voice slowly sounded.

"Someone happens to know some Westeros text."

...

Can't someone say "I" properly?

Although he couldn't help but secretly complained, Igor knew in his heart that Jaqen was not acting cool, but was hiding his identity from Braavos: he was a King's Landing disguised as a Lorath noble who infiltrated, and in the Lorath, the upper classes considered calling themselves "I" extremely vulgar, and only used "someone" instead of calling themselves.

Although I am not happy, Igor, who is also pretending to be a "China" nobleman, can only feigning ignorance to this Faceless Men's pretence - since Jaqen speaks, it proves that the mission he shoulders is not in The Wall, he didn't want to go around the north of North and come back.

"Are you literate?" Igor West is also playing his role dedicatedly. He took out a note and put it on the edge of the cage: "What is written on it?"

"The office...Night's Watch?" Jaqen squinted and answered correctly: "Night's Watch office."

"Very good," Igor put away the note and turned his head looked towards Yoren: "What crime did this person commit?"

Don't you know, Yoren rolled the eyes towards Igor, but after all, he took the other side a Golden Dragon, so it's not too much to cooperate with him. As Wandering Crow, he's much smarter than most Night's Watches: "Sneak peek at the king's book."

"Sneak peek at the king's book?" Igor raised his eyebrows, looking towards Jaqen: " What book?"

"A book about dragons, someone has been curious about this powerful Magic creature since childhood, Valyria has been destroyed, and only Westeros may have information about dragons."

p>

This answer is too broad, and I don't know if it's true or false: "Just because of this, he's going to be sent to the Wall?"

Yoren didn't know how to answer, so he shook his head. Shaking his head: "Who knows, it's not me who has the final say."

"Since it's not a murderer, then you are." Igor made a satisfied expression. God knows how many people Jaqen has killed, probably more than There are more people here. But as long as you don't want to harm oneself, no one else cares, everyone just needs to go down a step: "But before I let you out, I want you to make some guarantees-I think the book itself is for people to see, you It's not a heinous thing to do, and if you want to leave home someday, that's fine. But you'll have to do some serious help at the office for a while before I can get anyone else available... Also, before you're going to leave You must speak to me before and pay the appropriate ransom, agree?"

"Someone agrees."

"Very good, swear."

"Someone uses old and new Gods—"

"Stop, I'm not from Westeros, I don't believe in old and new Gods." Igor suddenly had an idea, "There is only one true god in the world, and that is death, I swear to Death God in your name, in addition to the above, there must be one more, and it will never harm the interests of Night's Watch."

Under Igor's gaze, Jaqen hesitated visibly, Then he spoke slowly: "Someone - Jaqen H'ghar, swears to God of Death that this life will never harm the interests of Night's Watch, and before he has to leave, someone will make an all-out effort for Night's Watch Legion service, and promise to inform Night's Watch Legion and pay the ransom before leaving."

...

(Good guy, so this kid is running the idea of ransom? Really cunning , compared with the ransom of dozens or hundreds of dollars, a Golden Dragon is nothing!) Yoren suddenly realized that he was slandering, but he knew that the money would never be taken by oneself, the Wandering Crow, so he endured it. Didn't turn around.

Igor didn't know what oneself's black clothed brother was thinking, he only noticed that Jaqen quietly changed his vows - "before I have to leave"? God knows if Jaqen has to leave soon to carry out that mysterious mission? Maybe he'll find oneself before night, tell oneself that he has to leave, put down the money, turn around and leave.

However, the other party played tricks on the details of the oath, indicating that at least he didn't intend to treat it as nothing. Igor didn't intend to keep him at all, and he didn't have high expectations. . Oneself can force Jaqen to swear forever allegiance to Night's Watch, but just like oneself made the same oath and now wants to leave: when forced to make an obviously unreasonable oath, one also has a broken oath. reason.

And for this high-level spy from Braavos, changing the name and claiming that Jaqen is dead would break the oath.

＊＊＊

"Okay, let him go."

How do you make it look like Lao Tzu is your subordinate? Yoren rolled Igor's eyes and handed him the key. "Oneself open, I have to look at the other two guys." After that, Wandering Crow drew out a sword: "Whoever dares to run, I will kill whoever, the sword has no eyes!"

oneself Just open oneself, put it before crossing, the other two guys in the cage may really scare Igor, but now he is a sentry on The Wall, the Night's Watch Warrior who killed Others in Haunted Forest, and a one-year Ranger During his career, both his physical and mental qualities have undergone changes in Heaven and Earth turning upside down. With a sword-wielding colleague by his side, if you are afraid of two prisoners who are tightly controlled by shackles, then it is really a waste to be a soldier.

Looking directly at the three people in the cage, Igor calmly walked to the door, opened the lock neatly, and opened the cage door.

Jaqen stooped and got out of the cage, jumped to the ground and stood firm. The other two prisoners let out a growl from the depths of their throats and were about to rush out, and finally was stabbed by Yoren. The bright sword edge forced him back to the corner of the cage, and Igor locked the door with a calm expression, released the shackles that shackled Jaqen's hands and feet, and threw the key back to Yoren, who received the sword entering sheathe, patted hand.

......

"Put on black clothed clothes." Igor took out the package he had prepared and threw it to Jaqen: "From now until you leave, you are the Night's Watch member, no need It's good luck to guard The Wall and deal with those ghosts in Saibei, but it's better to change the name you used when you entered the cell... um... let's call it Aquan, how."

"Someone didn't Opinions."

"It's fine if you don't have any opinions... Well, Yoren, and other future oath brothers, good luck." Igor looked at the remaining dozen or so, and said loudly Say goodbye, get on your horse, and prepare to return.

"My lord, do you want any other helpers? I can do anything except illiterate!" shouted one of the remaining recruits, although no one knew what The Wall was like, But if you think about it on your toes, it must be a lot harder than King's Landing.

Anything can be done...sweeping offices and stuff. Wouldn't it be better to hire someone from King's Landing with a clean family background, why pick you guys who limit the dog and steal chicken? Igor laughed and declined the speaker's suggestion: "Let's go, Aquan."

...

Igor didn't prepare another horse for Jaqen, so the two had to ride the same horse Back to the city. Riding with a Faceless Men like this is undoubtedly a special experience: even if you know that the other party is not a threat, you can't help but suspect that the man behind you will touch a dagger and stab you in the stomach... At the office in the east of the city, when Igor dismounted, Igor found that oneself had some crispy legs.

Re-entering the office with his newly-received subordinates who don't know how long they will last, he found that there are still a lot of people waiting for oneself.
