Bab 1: A Ranger of the Wall
The horn sounded, and then sounded again.
One blast means the brothers are coming home, two blasts means the savages are coming, but why is it still going on today?
It had been thousands of years since the Night's Watch had blown the three horns, so that the more confused brothers in black had almost forgotten its meaning, but Egger had not. When the third low whistle, which was louder and longer than the previous two, cut through the cold air on the top of the Great Wall, penetrated into the ear canal, reverberated and hit the eardrum, he just got the lottery to stand guard on the top of the Great Wall. Trembling, he held the ice wall with his hands and looked down from the northern edge. He saw a horrific scene that he had never seen before in his life and that made him shake to his core.

Ige woke up with a start, and his back was already wet with sweat.
The nightmare of the White Walkers has been plaguing him for a long time, ever since he entered the Night's Watch and began to participate in sentry duty as a recruit, until he became an official ranger today. It was undoubtedly ridiculous to be so afraid of a legend thousands of years ago, but unlike the people around him, he knew that many of the accounts of the White Walkers were true.
Egg is a time traveler, a "time traveler night watchman".
A visitor from another world came to this colorful magical world... He did not open a harem or fight for hegemony. Instead, he came to the ungrateful place of the Great Wall and vowed not to marry a wife, grant land, or have children, and became a slave on the Great Wall. The shield that guards and protects the kingdom... protects the people of Westeros from threats from the far north. What a great sentiment and dedication that spans the world?
But the truth is, he didn't don black of his own free will.
The story starts a year ago. In fact, Iger is not called Iger. He is an ordinary university graduate from the same world. After leaving campus, he worked in the quality inspection department of a large state-owned enterprise, doing something like "something like that". It's a job that is somewhat technical and slightly related to the profession." Relying on that small but stable salary that could easily support himself, he lived a life without passion day after day...
until one day, he suddenly woke up from the cold and found himself lying in a wilderness in his pajamas. With no way to find the road at all, I walked aimlessly for a long time before I found an inhabited village. I was dumbfounded to find that all the villagers I saw had Western faces, and I couldn't understand what they said.
The communication was fruitless. Driven by hunger and cold, he stole some potatoes and clothes to keep warm. When passing by a chicken coop, he thought about stealing two eggs. Unfortunately, he was caught on the spot and sent to the local area. in front of officials.
Stealing something small is not a serious crime; in modern law, it is considered a proper emergency. Unfortunately, due to the inability to communicate, the village official who looked like a peasant impatiently placed two things in front of Iger: a machete and a black coat. He also uses body language to tell the unlucky traveler that he has two choices - to have one hand chopped off, or to wear black clothes.
Someone was not mentally prepared and planned to become a disabled person on the first day of time travel, so he was sent to Castle Black as a criminal and became an "honorable" night watchman. As for "Eiger", the villager who caught him The codename given to him casually became his name in a daze.
He still remembered that the moment the tall and majestic figure of the Great Wall of Despair appeared in his field of vision, as if it were the edge of the world, he was almost suffocated by shock. Because there is no slope, this 200-meter-high artificial structure looks more majestic and majestic than any other mountain that Eiger visited before traveling through it. The visual impact of this landmark building was so strong that he was instantly sure of what he had encountered: he had traveled to the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, or Game of Thrones, which one it was, and was trapped like a prisoner. He at the Great Wall does not have enough information to make a judgment at the moment.

"Are you awake?" Gary, who was in the same room as him, was already packing packages by the window. He glanced at him when he heard the movement, "Then get up and start getting ready early, so as not to find out that you are missing this thing before you leave. That's missing."
The speaker is a veteran of the Night's Watch. His parents died and he joined the Night's Watch when he was a child. He has served in the army for forty years when he is less than fifty. He is one of the few in the legion who can really call himself "The Legion is my home" man. Although it was quite annoying to act like a veteran all day long, he did provide a lot of care to a certain unlucky time traveler in the process of integrating into this world - Egg couldn't turn a deaf ear to his words.
Nodding helplessly, he crawled out of bed, lifted the quilt to release the moisture, and slowly began to put on his clothes.
As a good young man of the new era and a highly educated young man, Egger is of course a person with excellent adaptability and learning ability. One year is more than enough to familiarize himself with and integrate into the world, except for the typical oriental face that makes him slightly different from the world. Exceptionally, he can already have smooth daily communication with other night watchmen around him... At this point, I have to mention something that makes him very unhappy: in this damn different world, the "people of Westeros" "Lingua" is not the British-accented English he is used to hearing in TV dramas, but a language whose grammar and alphabet are slightly similar to English, but unfortunately have very low relevance.
If not, how could he end up like this with his fairly good English proficiency?
After getting dressed, they had breakfast with Gary. After everything was packed up, they gathered with the other two rangers who were about to carry out the patrol mission. The four of them went to the stables and rode their mounts to the entrance of the tunnel through the Great Wall, ready to set off.
...
The iron gate slowly raised with a "click-click" pull under the pull of the winch and rope, revealing the deep and dark tunnel behind it. Sir Waymar Royce raised his head and kicked his horse without saying a word. Take the lead and get into it.
The passage was dark and cold all year round, with only the whirring sound of air flowing. Under the light of torches, they passed three iron fences in a row. As the last barrier slowly rose, everything in front of them suddenly became clear - they started from the Night Watch headquarters behind them. , material manpower center and novice village "Black Castle", crossed the ice wall and went outside the Great Wall to conduct daily patrols, investigating and tracking the savage tribe that has frequently appeared on the north side of the Great Wall recently.
In front of them is the ghost forest. The night watchman regularly sends craftsmen out of the city to cut down the trees to ensure that the forest in the north of the Great Wall does not extend within half a mile of the Great Wall and prevent savages from using the cover of the trees to approach and attack the Great Wall. As the power of the Night Watch weakens year by year, except for the three castles that are still garrisoned and can barely maintain this tradition, the scale of the entire isolation zone has been shrinking.
Egger looked back at the huge Great Wall of Despair and found that the ice wall was "crying" - this was good news, indicating that the temperature was near freezing at the moment. If the weather did not change, the patrol team at least did not have to worry about being frozen at night.
The horses moved forward with small steps, and the four people crossed the isolation zone and approached the forest. Because it is almost free of deforestation, the Haunted Shadow Forest, which extends north to the land of eternal winter, is the second largest forest in Westeros. Egg has participated in patrols several times, but every time he steps into this forest, he still feels a numb scalp and a chill behind him.
It is now the 297th year of Aegon's Conquest. Jon Arryn has not yet been assassinated; Eddard Stark is enjoying the hot bed of his wife and children in Winterfell while chanting "Winter is Coming"; Robert Baratheon is still drinking and spending money on the Iron Throne. Save the seeds... The dragon mother was still a poor girl living under the shelter of others across the distant narrow sea; the White Walkers had just emerged from the land of eternal winter and began to attack small groups of wildlings and expand their own army of the dead.
The plot familiar to fans of the original world drama or book has not yet begun. The showdown between ice and fire and the power struggle at the center of the kingdom's politics are still undercurrents. To be fair, traveling to Westeros at a time when summer is not yet over and the world is peaceful is not a bad luck - the problem is that Egger became a damn Night's Watch Ranger in a confused way. This means that not only can he not be able to hide far away from the natural enemies of humans north of the ice wall and find a place to enjoy life in another world, but he also has to go out of the Great Wall every once in a while to get himself under the nose of the White Walkers!
...
All Night Watchmen are fighting men, but only the Rangers would go north out of the Great Wall as a daily routine. What made Egg vomit blood was that he still did not become a Ranger of his own free will. During the months he was training as a new recruit at Castle Black and awaiting assignment, he tried to demonstrate his agility and extensive knowledge as a science student, hoping that he would be noticed by Lord Commander Mormont or Maester Aemon. He stayed by his side and became a confidant... No matter how bad it was, he could even work as an steward or craftsman in Castle Black, but all his plans came to nothing. After a show of manipulation, he was assigned to Benjen Starr. Gram's subordinates, he became what he least wanted to be, the elite of the elite - a ranger.
Of course, it wasn't that any officer was deliberately trying to punish him. In fact, many people were eager to change positions with Egg. Although the Rangers have to leave the city and head north from time to time, the temperature hovering near freezing point in the summer is not considered cold, and their mission is only patrol and reconnaissance. When the Night Watch organization continues to weaken and manpower becomes increasingly tight, the commander usually asks the Rangers to The cavalry gave priority to preserving their lives and tried not to risk engaging in field battles with the enemy. Over the years, the number of rangers who died in battles and patrols was far less than the number of craftsmen and stewards who froze to death or died in accidents.
But winter is approaching, the White Walkers have awakened, and the King Beyond the Wall has summoned all the wildlings to prepare for the southern invasion. Since a few months ago, there have been sporadic casualties in patrols... Egg knows that the Rangers can no longer be what they used to be. I felt so comfortable in a few years.
After the initial hesitation and injustice, Egger quickly figured out the reason for everything: he was no longer the only son and top student in the original world. He had neither the noble surname of Chief Ranger Benyan Stark nor Jon. ·Snow has the aura of being the illegitimate son of the Duke of Winterfell. No matter how much he knows about astronomy, geography, and physical and chemical reactions, in the eyes of the Night Watch officers, he is just a "foreigner" who has committed the crime of stealing. Among the nearly a thousand members of the Night Watch, who has the time to go out of his way to do so? Attention and care for him? As a 1.8-meter-tall, healthy and strong young man with good training performance, he is destined to be picked by the Rangers no matter how he chooses.
No one cared whether he wanted to be a ranger, and he was even sure that if he disappeared while patrolling north, the Night's Watch would never treat Ser Waymar Royce or Benjen Starr like they did. Ke sent people to look for him so aggressively...here, he was just a soldier of the night watchman. It was conceivable that in the ensuing war between humans and ghosts, he who barely learned how to use a sword and ride a horse would probably be just cannon fodder.
If you don't want to end your career as a time traveler here, you must find a way to change your destiny.
