"I told everyone to be on high alert. I killed countless barbarians with my own hands. I am not a traitor!"
"Yes, thanks to Jon's reminder. He fought bravely and never showed mercy to the barbarians." One-armed Tanner nodded.
Sir Alliser shook his head and pointed at Jon. "That is because Her Majesty the Queen is here. Even a fool would not surrender to the barbarians after seeing the Megalosaurus!
You know that the barbarians have been exposed. With so many villagers escaping to Dark Castle, Scholar Yimont and Master Tanner are not stupid. They must have been alerted.
You pretended to be a spy for the Night Watchmen, but you were actually planning to help the barbarians infiltrate Dark Castle. When the time was right, you would deal the fatal blow to the black-clothed brothers.
Unfortunately, the gods protected the Westeros. Her Majesty the Queen descended from the heavens. You had no chance. You could only make the most beneficial choice for yourself — continue to be a spy! "
"My father is the Duke of Winterfell. My uncle is a Night Watchman. I am from the North!" Jon screamed with a twisted face. "Why should I surrender to the barbarians?"
"You are a bastard, a bastard!" Slynt slammed the table and shouted back even louder. "You are only the bastard son of the Duke of Winterfell. Eide Stark is a traitor. Before King Robert's body was even cold, he attacked his son —"
"Cough cough …" Sir Alliser covered his forehead and coughed lightly. Unfortunately, Slynt was too agitated and said all the things he should not have said.
"Cough cough cough …" Slynt also coughed violently.
The hall was dead silent. He finally reacted. Lannister was still sitting on the Iron Throne, but the one sitting beside him was the Dragon Queen!
"I mean, crazy … King Eris, Eide betrayed His Majesty and murdered Prince Rhaegar and his children … Hmm, Eide Stark is not a good person. You are his bastard, even worse!
Your mixed blood induced you to get close to the savages and sleep with the female savages. You even admitted that you loved her before. In order to live happily with the savage bitch forever, it was natural for you to seek refuge with the savages, because the Night Watchers can't marry. "
Danny interrupted, "The fact that Stark helped the usurper start a rebellion cannot be used as evidence of his crimes. You don't have to worry about me. Let's just talk about the facts. "
Slynt nodded and bowed. Jon looked at her with a complicated expression.
She continued, "But don't say anything that's too ridiculous. Even a fool knows how close Eide Stark and Robert are. He would never betray his sworn brother. "
The gratitude in Jon's eyes grew stronger. He didn't care how they treated him, but he couldn't stand the slander about his father.
"Your Majesty, I didn't say that Lord Eide betrayed Robert's … king. He betrayed Robert's son." Slynt's chin trembled. His expression was firm. "Eide tampered with Robert's will, intending to remove Joffrey from the throne and usher in Stannis on the Iron Throne. I swear he told me that himself. "
Eide was also pitiful. He supported Stannis' succession to the throne and didn't hesitate to break off relations with Cersei.
But how did Erlu repay Stark?
Without a second word, without the slightest hesitation, he cast the Great Curse Technique on his son, Robb, cursing to death the man who broke off the engagement with the third generation head.
"Joffrey is the bastard son of the Kingslayer and Queen Cersei. My father knows of this," Jon said loudly.
"You dare to slander the queen?!" Slynt was furious.
"Ahem …" Ser Alliser covered his mouth and coughed lightly.
"Uh …" Slynt stole a glance at Danny. He sighed in relief when he saw that her expression was normal. But with this interruption, he was at a loss for words.
Ser Alliser took over the conversation and scolded Jon loudly. "I've seen through your evil heart! There are more than a hundred thousand savages, four to five hundred giants. But the Night Watchers lost all their elites at Fist Peak, leaving only a few hundred old and weak. You believed that Manslade would eventually cross the Wall and kill us all, so you sought refuge with the savages.
The evidence is conclusive. Jon Snow, plead guilty! "
"I'm not guilty!" Jon met Ser Alliser's gaze coldly. "His Majesty has captured so many savages. You can ask around and see if they know that I'm a spy for the savages in Dark Castle."
"Bring in the prisoners!"
Soon, a dozen savage leaders were brought into the hall. Among them was Yegorit the Firekiss.
"What, Jon, you didn't betray me? You're our spy. Who gave you this mission? Ah, you should've told me earlier. I shouldn't have shot you with an arrow. " Hearing Ser Alliser's question, Yegorit's eyes widened in surprise and a little resentment.
Was this guy really stupid, or was he high enough to defend his lover?
Ser Alliser's face darkened as he continued to ask the next savage. But they either didn't know, or they were spouting nonsense. Their words were contradictory and illogical.
"Oh, I see!" Ser Alliser's face suddenly brightened. "Who would have thought, Jon Snow," he said, "that you hold such a high place in Mansred's heart. To protect you, he hid your identity as a spy from almost all the wildlings."
Danny laughed inwardly at his imagination. Jon's face contorted, his eyes almost spitting fire.
"Don't glare at me. I completely understand Manslade's thoughts. He's not a simple savage. He knows how useful Stark can be in conquering the North. It's normal for him to protect you, "Ser Alliser said with a smug and vicious smile.
"Well, now that the truth is out, Jon Snow, what do you have to say?" Slynt concluded.
"Manslade doesn't care that I'm Stark's illegitimate son. He wants to invade the North by force. The savages all know," Jon shouted, craning his neck.
Slynt said, "Sophistry. Do you think we have turnips on our necks? That we'll be deceived by your lies? Men, hang Chameleon Jon immediately! "
"Wait, Count Slynt," Scholar Yimont said respectfully, but his expression was ugly. "You can judge Jon, but before you carry out the sentence, please ask His Majesty's opinion on the outcome of the case."
Everyone in the hall looked at Danny.
"Is Count Slynt the commander-in-chief?" Danny asked.
"No."
"Since he's not the commander-in-chief, how can he be Jon Snow's chief judge?"
Scholar Yimont frowned and said with some difficulty, "Count Slynt has the highest rank."
"But I remember putting on the black robes and abandoning my previous identity."
"This …" The old man wanted to say that this was an unspoken rule, but there were so many Night Watchers in the room. Wouldn't they be disappointed if he said that?
The old man sighed and asked helplessly, "What do you think should be done, Your Majesty?"
"Since the commander-in-chief is voted for by all the Night Watchers, Jon Snow's final trial should also be decided by all the Night Watchers before the official commander-in-chief is born.
Tell the Black Brothers the full testimony of the accused and the accused and let them vote.
Yes, only the thirty or so people who stayed in Dark Castle that day need to vote.
As the parties involved, they suffered greatly from the savages and will not side with Jon. As comrades who went through life and death together, they will not wrong him. "
"This …" The old man looked at Bowen Maxi, "You are the acting mayor. What do you think?"
"Yes." Red Pomegranate nodded without hesitation, "Your Majesty's suggestion is reasonable and fair."
"Count Slynt?" The old man asked again.
"Yes …" The short man with the double chin nodded unwillingly.
The higher-ups of the Night Watchers in the courtroom were questioned one by one. No matter what they thought, they could not find a reason to refute.
Finally, the old scholar looked at Jon who was standing below, "What do you think?"
Jon looked at Danny gratefully and nodded, "No matter what the result is, I will accept it."
After that, more than thirty men in black entered the wooden hall. Even the prostitute from Mole Village three kilometers away was invited to listen to Jon's self-defense and Alisa's and Slynt's accusations.
After a few hours, the sun had set and the sky had turned a deep shade of indigo … Dani held a long-necked clay pot in her left hand and a fat white porcelain bottle in her right hand. She turned them upside down for everyone to see before placing them on the table in front of her. One by one, the Night Watchers stepped forward and tossed the coins in their hands into the bottles.
Yes, everyone was given a copper coin and a silver coin. They put their hands into the pot and threw in a coin. A copper coin meant that Jon was guilty. A white silver coin meant that he was innocent. Air could also be thrown in for abstention.
Finally, the rest of the coins were thrown into the bottle.
Even Old Yimont lined up and threw a coin into the pot.
The voting process was completed quickly. Danny did not let Jon wait. Under his nervous gaze, she poured the coins out of the pot on the table.
With just a glance, Jon let out a sigh of relief and smiled. Alisa and Slynt's faces were ashen. They pursed their lips and did not say anything.
There were only one or two copper coins scattered in the silver.
However, Danny did not immediately declare Jon innocent. She poured out the coins from the bottle on the other side and let Barristan count the two piles of coins.
About three minutes later, the white knight said, "The total number of copper and silver coins is neither more nor less. No one abstained. With 34 votes to 2, Jon Snow is innocent. Everyone believes that he did not betray the Night Watchers."
"Thank you, thank you everyone!" Jon's eyes were red as he said excitedly to the Night Watchers around him.
"You have been fighting on the front line. I even saw you drag your lame leg and shoot three savages to death. You are definitely not a chameleon who is afraid of death." The prostitute Slynt laughed.
"Your Majesty, even if he is not a chameleon, his affair with a female savage can't be fake, right?" Alisa shouted.
Danny waved her hand and said casually, "This broken place is already bitter and cold enough. As long as it doesn't affect work, drinking and finding women are not a problem."
"But the oath —"
"The matter between men and women is human nature!" Danny interrupted him and said indifferently, "I don't encourage everyone to break the oath, but how many Night Watchers brothers voluntarily put on the black clothes? Voluntarily take the oath of the Night Watchers?
I give the highest respect to noble people who pursue honor, but for more ordinary people, as long as they do their job honestly, even if they make small mistakes, it is tolerable. "
"If the Night Watchers don't look for women, how can we do business?" The prostitute Slynt muttered.
Danny glanced at her. She wanted to ask if she had entertained this Sir Alisa, but it was not convenient for her to say such frivolous words.
