The bricks and stones that fell from the abandoned watchtower of the Lannister siblings were scattered on the ground of the old inner courtyard. Not long ago, there was a summer snow in Winterfell. The ones that fell to the ground had already melted, and only the bricks and stones were still there. Some white remains.
The fear of being hit by falling objects is the most important reason why the residents in the fort rarely come here. Since it has been left unattended for too long, in addition to the weeds that are up to the ankles and close to the knees, there are even a few shrubs of unknown species struggling to survive. grow up.
In order to conduct daily training here, he spent a lot of time clearing weeds and removing obstructive bricks and stones.
Wearing black is an eye-catching identity mark and amulet. The North has a custom of respecting the Night's Watch. In addition, Benyen Stark took Egg back to Winterfell for a banquet to create an image of "the chief ranger's confidant" in him. The plan Progressing well. Although the servants all wondered why he wanted to find such a corner to practice, no one stopped him, and some enthusiastic ones even provided him with help and convenience.
Without much effort, Egg took over this small, dilapidated yard that had not been taken care of for a long time.
In fact, he even considered moving bricks and stones to block the stairs leading upstairs in the first castle to solve the problem at the root. However, he was worried that he was just a guest after all, and after much hesitation, he finally did not dare to do it to Stark. The home castle undergoes renovation.
...
As the days passed, the rulers of the kingdom planned to stay in Winterfell for only a short time. In the early morning of this day, the king led a hunting team to set off to the wolf forest west of Winterfell for hunting, hoping to save the last man in the capital of the north. Add a wild bear feast to a dinner party. The prince went with him, and all the adult men of the Stark family, including Robb, followed, but the queen stayed in Winterfell, and her brother Jaime also did not join the hunting team, but chose to accompany his sister...
There is no comparison This was a better time. Someone was more nervous than the two parties involved. Watching the chief ranger go away with the king's team, Egg immediately rushed to the territory he occupied. He decided that today he would not leave the ground. Watch the courtyard leading to the first fort until the hunting team returns.
Of course, we can't just wait, let's start with sword training.
The sun gradually climbed into the sky and the temperature began to rise. The night watchman had already done a set of hacking training on the scarecrow and was shooting at the target with his bow and arrow when an unexpected visit came suddenly.
"If you guessed it right," a slightly magnetic and confident male voice with a relaxed and casual tone sounded not far behind, "You are the one who crossed the Sunset Sea to Westeros and was captured by the Great Wall defenders. Serving in the Night's Watch and killing White Walkers?"
Egg turned around and was surprised: "Your Majesty, sergeant, good morning, I am..."
Jaime Lannister nodded towards him, and he Cersei behind her glanced at Egger, who was dressed in black, expressionlessly, completely too lazy to talk to a night watchman.
James is Tyrion's brother. The two brothers have a close relationship. It is not unusual for the Kingslayer to know from the latter about his killing of the White Walkers... but it is obviously not in line with the former's character to come and talk to him about this matter. , as soon as he saw the queen behind him, Egger suddenly became alert: (This pair of bitches!)
He had no dislike for the blond man in front of him, but as the saying goes, the butt determines the head, and now his stance is different. Seeing these two people walking together, Naturally, Ige couldn't suppress a secret curse in his heart.
Cursing in his heart, the Night's Watchman quickly put on a look of sincerity and fear - Jaime is easy to talk to, but Cersei is a petty person with a completely opposite personality to her two brothers, but this stupid and vicious woman is still in a high position. , In this world full of crises, the last thing to be offended is this kind of big shot who is so stupid that he doesn't care about anything.
"You're good at shooting." James looked at a few arrows stuck on the grass target, and suddenly his hand itched: "Give me the bow."
＊＊＊
When he was at the Great Wall of Despair, Egger once thought about using the remaining materials from making obsidian daggers. He made some dragon crystal arrowheads from leftover materials and replaced the iron arrowheads distributed by the legion to make "dragon crystal arrows" to achieve the goal of killing White Walkers remotely when necessary.
But things are not that simple. Arrows are important war materials, and they are strictly controlled just like the ammunition in the army before crossing. They are stored in the armory during normal times, signed and stamped when receiving them, and unused ones must be returned. If it is not a war, If you lose one, you will be punished. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be left to the soldiers below to modify and assemble it at will.
Therefore, when Gary found out that Egg was secretly tinkering with arrowheads, he not only scolded him, but also strictly prohibited him from continuing to make arrows. The reason was simple: if he messed up like this, he would also suffer if his superiors discovered it. Such a big thing couldn't be hidden like a dagger, so the matter had to be abandoned. This led to the scene where he could only use the dagger to fight against the White Walkers.
Although the plan to make dragon crystal arrows was frustrated, Egger did not delay his practice of archery. After all, encountering White Walkers was a low-probability event, but encounters with wildlings were a common occurrence. As perhaps the only time traveler night watchman in the world, he cherishes his life very much. Rather than fighting closely, modern people who came from a world with guns naturally prefer to use long-range weapons to bring down the enemy early.
Driven by this subconscious mind, he would go to the shooting range to practice archery whenever he had free time at Castle Black. Compared to swordsmanship, his archery skills were much better.
＊＊＊
Better than most of the Night's Watch, but not good enough to be praised or competed with by Jaime Lannister, one of the top players in the Seven Kingdoms.
What medicine is this guy selling in the gourd?
Full of suspicion, Egg handed the bow to the other party.
The regicide took the long bow, weighed it in his hand a few times, positioned himself and pulled the bow string, picked one out of the quiver, and aimed at the target.
It was the first time that Egger was so close to these two Lannisters, and he couldn't help but look at them secretly. Viewed from this distance, he had to admire again: Jaime has a tall figure and majestic weapons, and his expression when he is focusing on the target is even more handsome and unrestrained, while Cersei has a curvaceous figure, a noble and cool appearance, and at first glance, there is nothing You can't tell that she is the mother of three children, but her expressions of impatience are so touching... These two people, even in the world before time travel, were Hollywood superstar-level handsome men and women.
It's understandable, but not acceptable.
Not to mention that Westeros, which has been ruled by Targaryen for hundreds of years, does not have strong resistance to this. Even in the modern world where Egg traveled before traveling, the law did not clearly stipulate this - to put it bluntly, as long as others When you think about getting married, whoever you want to mess with is a family scandal, and no one has the right to interfere.
But having an affair behind your husband's back and letting the former raise your lover's children is a provocation that no culture can tolerate.
While Egg was in a trance, the regicide let go and shot the first arrow. With a muffled bang, the arrow crossed a distance of dozens of meters and was stably inserted into the target only a few inches away from the center. The tail of the arrow shaft Still shaking.
'not bad.'
As a soldier, Egg instinctively commented on the arrow. From drawing the bow, aiming to shooting, James' entire archery process was done in one go. Looking at his relaxed appearance, it was obvious that he still had some strength left... This guy's arm strength was amazing. , he should be competent enough to be a Kingsguard.
The archer muttered something in a low voice, seemingly still dissatisfied with this good arrow, and took out a second one. This time, the arrow was firmly inserted in the center of the target, close to the one that Egg had shot most accurately before.
"Tsk." The shooter smacked his lips, reached for the quiver, and took out the third arrow.
"How long do you want to cum here?" Cersei behind the two said coldly, "Is it that the school grounds in Casterly Rock are not big enough, or is there no bow in the White Sword Tower where the Kingsguard live?"
"Hey, I'm in the mood, almost. I have neglected my dear good sister." James tilted his head and shrugged apologetically at Egg, then aimed at the target again: "The last shot!" As soon as
he finished speaking, the arrow in his hand came out of the string, and the next second, There is another wooden pole inside the white cloth covering the center of the archery target.
"Okay, take it and practice hard. The northernmost point of the Seven Kingdoms is guarded by a group of heroic Night Watch brothers like you. I can sleep much more peacefully at night." James threw the bow back to Egg and said half-jokingly. sentence.
"The duty lies." The regicide can act casually, but he, a small soldier, cannot do anything about it. After thinking for a moment, he replied with a cliche and then added a painless and innocuous flattery: "My lord, you are good at archery."
Jaime Lannister's three arrows reflected the archery skills. His skill level is easily superior to his own, but he is not a marksman either. But after all, archery is just a skill that the King Killer is not famous for. If his swordsmanship and riding skills are as good as the legend, he can indeed be regarded as a romantic figure of the generation... But Egger has no interest in evaluating the opponent now. Even with his level of strength, he is not in the mood to have a relationship with these two important plot characters. Instead, he just hopes that these two evil stars will leave as soon as possible, and he must not take a fancy to the territory he specially occupies.
Unfortunately, things didn't work out as he wished. James put down his longbow, turned around and stared at the ruined tower.
"What's going on with that tower? Why does it look so dilapidated and in disrepair?"
