Start with Lord of the Rings

Chapter 255 Farce, Night Watchman!

It was cold and windy.

It was getting darker.

A thick cloud of lead covered the sky.

This is the sign before the storm comes.

But at this time in Winterfell City.

No one cares about these.

In front of the wide square where the main castle is located.

With the arrival of His Majesty's huge motorcade.

The atmosphere of the entire Winterfell City changed.

When King Robert Baratheon, in front of everyone, started chatting with his subordinate, Duke of Winterfell, Ed Stark, who was also a good friend, to reminisce about the old days.

behind the king.

In the huge team, people from King's Landing City dismounted one after another.

At the same time, the carriage door was finally opened on the luxurious, large and conspicuous carriage pulled by several horses.

"Ed, how long has it been since we saw each other?"

Robert Baratheon looked at his old friend in front of him and asked.

"Nine years, Your Majesty."

"We haven't seen each other for nine years."

Ed Stark laughed.

"nine years"

"Has it been this long?"

Hearing what his old friend said, Robert Baratheon sighed a little.

But after a moment of emotion, Robert Baratheon immediately changed his voice and looked at his old friend in front of him and asked, "It's been nine years. Where have you been hiding all these years?"

"I don't see you coming to King's Landing to find me a drink."

Hearing the king's slightly complaining tone, Ed Stark continued to laugh and said, "Of course it is to protect the northern border for you, Your Majesty."

"Winterfell is at your Majesty's disposal at any time."

But Robert Baratheon just shook his head, looked at his friend in front of him with a smile and said, "You, you, you know that I don't like to hear these words."

The king and Eddard Stark were talking about old times in front of the team.

Most of the people on the Winterfell team in the rear were looking at the king and the duke to reminisce about the old days.

But Morgan's eyes only stayed on King Robert Baratheon for a while, and then shifted to the huge team from King's Landing ahead.

He was recalling the few memories in his memory, trying to identify the people in the luxurious team a little far away.

Riding on a white horse, wearing a fine wine-red robe, he was a thin young boy with short blond hair, and his handsome face was slightly gloomy and violent.

Looking at the blond boy protected by many guards around him, he should be "Joffrey Baratheon", the eldest son and heir of King Robert Baratheon and the Queen, who was nicknamed "Emperor of the Ages" Li Dadi.

Joffrey Baratheon was recognized.

Morgan's eyes wandered among the King's Landing City team again.

Soon, he found another person who matched his memory.

Standing in front of a group of heavily armed guards, he was wearing pale gold full-body mighty armor, with short blond hair slightly longer than Joffrey, a tall, handsome young man with a majestic appearance.

This one should be James Lannister, the twin brother of Queen Cersei Lannister, and the real father of "Joffrey Baratheon".

After recognizing these two.

Morgan continued to observe the huge team in King's Landing City.

It's just a pity that he didn't recognize more people.

no wait
When he looked at the tall middle-aged man who lifted the dog-headed helmet to reveal a half-disfigured ugly and terrifying face, he was covered in black mail.

The name "Hound Dog" immediately popped up in Morgan's mind.

It's just that he still has an impression of this knight with obvious facial features and nicknamed "Hound", but he can't remember too much.

Even the real name of this "hound".

Morgan couldn't remember either.

I only know that the other party is called "Hound Dog", and he seems to be quite a chivalrous guy.

Although he does not seem to be a knight.

Morgan's gaze continued to wander.

Soon, at the corner of the huge team, he saw a short, child-like figure in a brown short robe, with short thick pale golden hair, walking quickly into the crowd beside him.

Even if it's just a glimpse.

Morgan still clearly recognized the one just now.

Appearing with the King's Landing team, the dwarf figure who was only a few years old was as tall as a child. Except for "Tyrion Lannister", who was nicknamed "little devil" and "half-human", there could be no one else.

Tyrion Lannister is also the younger brother of Jaime Lannister and Queen Cersei Lannister.

at this time.

In the large team of King's Landing City, the door of that huge and luxurious carriage was finally opened.

Followed by.

One after another, the maids stepped out of the carriage and stood neatly on both sides of the carriage.

Finally, when the last young maid walked out of the carriage.

Behind him, a tall, fair-skinned, charming lady wearing golden luxurious robes, with charming green eyes and beautiful golden wavy long hair walked out of the carriage.

At this moment, Morgan's eyes immediately focused on the beautiful woman who had a combination of figure, appearance, and temperament.

"Cersei Lannister"

Eldest daughter of Duke Tywin of the Lannister family of Casterly Rock; sister of Jaime Lannister and Tyrion Lannister; mother of Joffrey Baratheon; King Robert Baratheon wife, and Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

for this one.

Morgan was still very impressed.

"Caitlin, long time no see"

"His Majesty."

"You must be Robb."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Look, it's so beautiful, it's a beauty"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"What's your name?"

"Arya"

In front of the Winterfell team, King Robert Baratheon and his old friend Ed Stark talked about the past, and then greeted everyone in the Stark family one by one.

At this time.

Queen Cersei Lannister, who was wearing a pale gold luxurious robe, also walked in front of everyone in Winterfell.

Ed Stark immediately saluted the queen with all the members of the Stark family.

"What's your name again?"

On the side, King Robert Baratheon was standing in front of the youngest Stark member.

"My name is Rickon Stark His Majesty. Your Majesty can just call me Rickon."

"This sword is not bad, do you want to be a warrior in the future?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am training every day now, and I am working hard for it."

"Haha, yes, let's grow up quickly."

Robert Baratheon smiled and touched Rickon Stark's little head, then looked at his old friend and said, "Ed, take me to your family's catacombs, I'm going to pay homage. "

The voice fell.

Queen Cersei Lannister, who was greeting Duchess of Winterfell, Catelyn Tully, changed her expression slightly, and immediately looked at her husband and said, "We have been traveling for nearly two months, let's rest first."

"The cemetery won't run away there, and it's the same if you go later."

Hearing what the queen's wife said, Robert Baratheon just glanced at his wife blankly.

Then he motioned to Ed Stark, and he took the lead in walking in the direction of the Stark family crypt.

Everyone in Winterfell, especially the host Eddard Stark and his wife Caitlin Tully, felt very embarrassed that the king did not give the queen a son.

However, although the king and queen did not deal with each other to the extent that everyone knew it.

But in the eyes of Ed Stark this level is still very clear.

Ed Stark glanced at the queen, and then strode after the king.

Only the neglected queen Cersei Lannister remained.

Looking at the two people walking away quickly.

Cersei Lannister's complexion quickly became ugly.

For the bastard King Robert Baratheon, she has long hated it, and only hated it.

After all, for the man who called out the names of other women when Robert Baratheon was lying on top of her on the wedding night, and the man who continued to abuse her domestically after marriage.

She's already given up.

Queen Cersei Lannister looked ugly.

The Duchess of Winterfell, Catelyn Tully, and a group of Stark family children standing aside felt even more embarrassed.

Fortunately, soon.

The queen turned around with an ugly expression and walked towards the King's Landing City team.

Only then did the Stark family and the others heave a sigh of relief.

Morgan stood behind the members of the Stark family.

I saw with my own eyes that King Robert Baratheon did not show any face in front of everyone around him, and almost completely ignored his wife.

And when Queen Cersei Lannister showed a very obvious dissatisfaction and ugly look in public.

He realized that the relationship between these two was worse than he had imagined.

With the departure of the king and the host.

This warm and embarrassing grand welcome ceremony is finally over.

Because the Stark family has been preparing for the team from King's Landing for more than half a month.

At this time, Queen Cersei Lannis, her son Joffrey Baratheon, and a group of team members were quickly arranged in the room prepared in advance.

The assembled team quickly dispersed.

Morgan stood on the square in front of the main castle, looking at the dispersed crowd, a delicate and beautiful oak pipe and bagged tobacco suddenly appeared in his hand.

at this time.

"Morgan."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Morgan turned his head and looked at the figure coming behind him, fiddling with the pipe in his hand very naturally, and filling it with shredded tobacco skillfully.

"How about we go for a drink?"

Jon Snow approached Morgan and continued speaking.

Looking at Jon Snow, who had an ugly complexion, Morgan smiled, put the pipe filled with tobacco in his mouth, lit it, took a big puff, and exhaled smoke with a hint of tobacco aroma, then asked :"What's wrong?"

"Why do you suddenly want to drink?"

"not in a good mood?"

Morgan knew that although the person in front of him also drank, he didn't drink much, and he was not a person like him who was always drinking.

"Just want to drink."

Jon Snow shook his head. The news he had just been told made him feel very bad. At this moment, he just wanted to drink to relieve his boredom.

"Well then"

Morgan took a careful look at Jon, nodded and said, "Where are you going to drink?"

Jon Snow: "Go to the kitchen, go to my place."

"Do you want to change places?"

Hearing what the other party said, Morgan said immediately.

Speaking of which, although Winterfell City is very large, the environment is also very good.

But no tavern.

The kitchen in the inner castle is very large and acts like a tavern.

Not really a tavern though.

Morgan drank in the kitchen a few times, and felt that the atmosphere was much worse than that of a noisy and lively tavern.

"Where?"

Jon Snow asked immediately.

"It's still early, how about going to the winter shelter in the outer city, the Warm Winter Tavern?"

Morgan continued: "The atmosphere there is lively, and the feeling of drinking is completely different from drinking in the kitchen."

Jon Snow nodded: "Okay, then go there."

Just go.

The two immediately walked towards the inner city gate.

Since becoming the swordsman of the Stark family, there is no obstacle for Morgan to go in and out of the inner and outer cities.

The guards did not stop them, but greeted Morgan respectfully and politely.

Morgan took Jon Snow out of the inner city and headed straight for the Warm Winter Tavern in the winter resort town.

Although Jon Snow was very young, he lived in Winterfell.

But he never entered the tavern in the winter town that he opened very early on as much as Morgan.

It was only noon.

When Morgan brought Jon Snow to the Warm Winter Tavern, the tavern was almost full.

At this time, the tavern owner and the bartender had already known Morgan, the new swordsman of the Stark family in the tavern who had been good several times in the past few days.

Jon Snow, who knows the illegitimate son of the Duke better.

Needless to say, the tavern owner kindly made a good table for the two of them.

When the ordered food is on the table, the beer is on the table.

Jon Snow picked up the tall beer glass and couldn't wait to drink it down.

"It's okay to talk now"

Morgan accompanied him with a glass of wine and spoke.

Jon Snow put down his wine glass, wiped the wine stains from his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "Did you know that there will be a grand banquet tonight?"

"of course."

Morgan nodded.

The banquet where the duke entertains the king and queen begins when it gets dark.

Of course he knew.

And not long ago, he had been told to attend the banquet on time.

Now hear what Jon Snow said.

Morgan immediately thought of something.

"But just now, Madam Stark told me"

Jon Snow continued to speak, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, but more of helplessness, deep helplessness: "The illegitimate child cannot sit with the king and queen to participate in the banquet, saying that it is disrespectful to the king and queen."

After finishing speaking, Jon picked up the wine glass just refilled by the tavern maid again, and began to grumble.

"really."

Hear what Jon Snow said.

Morgan knew it in his heart, he was now more and more aware of the status of illegitimate children in this world.

That's really low, very low.

So what if he is the illegitimate son of the Duke of Winterfell.

This is also one of the reasons why Jon Snow is willing to get closer to Morgan.

Morgan did not treat him any differently because he was an illegitimate child.

"Then what are your plans for the future?"

Morgan picked up the wine glass and touched Jon Snow, and after drinking it in one gulp, he spoke.

"from now on."

After hearing Morgan's words, Jon Snow was silent for a while, and then gave the answer: "I want to go to the Great Wall."

The voice fell.

Morgan was silent.

It has been several days since he joined Winterfell.

He naturally understood what Jon Snow meant.

The Great Wall he mentioned is the "Great Wall of Desperation".

The Great Wall of Desperation: It is a huge and incomparable fortification made of ice and snow located in the extreme north of the Seven Kingdoms.

It stretches from the Frostfang Mountains in the west to Seal Bay in the east, and separates the kingdom from the land of the wildlings. It is one of the nine man-made wonders of the entire world.

Such an important Great Wall naturally has its garrisoned team: "Night Watchmen."

Night Watchman: It is a legion dedicated to guarding the Impassable Great Wall.

What Jon Snow meant was that he wanted to join the Night Watchman.

Coincidentally, the youngest brother of Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell: Benyan Stark is the Chief Ranger of the Night Watch.

If Jon Snow wants to join the Night Watchman, it is entirely up to the other party to say a word.

Jon said it at this time, obviously thinking about it for a long time.

This drink.

The two drank until dusk.

When Morgan and Jon Snow stepped out of the Warm Winter Tavern, preparing to return to the Inner Castle to attend the evening feast.

He suddenly saw, in front of the gate of the brothel not far from the tavern.

A figure of a dwarf surrounded by a few prostitutes in thin clothes came out.
