Chapter 60: Cotter Pike's Contempt and Indifference
Cotter Pyke was a capable man, as the Eastwatch Fortress he guarded was almost defenseless.
Although he was a useless good-for-nothing, the night watchmen in the tavern who had noticed the commotion here, all came over to him if they could stand up.
Apparently he was quite capable of commanding his subordinates, and would really step up when something happened.
"Boy, which noble family are you from? You are restless even after being a man in black. You dare to hit my people. Are you tired of living?" Carter Pike was drunk and was supported by someone as he staggered in front of Lyon. The first thing he said was to attack him.
"No wonder there are the most wildlings near your Donghaiwang. With the behavior of you and your men, you should be thankful that the wildlings didn't take over your Donghaiwang."
As a member of Black Iron Castle, Lyon should not have the qualifications to comment on Eastwatch's affairs. However, Lyon's position as head coach was granted by Old Bear himself, and Carter Pike, the captain of Eastwatch's garrison, was at the same level as Lyon, so Lyon's accusations were not without basis.
After listening to Lyon's speech, Carter showed a trace of anger on his face. At this time, one of Carter's men, who had heard Lyon's self-introduction just now, whispered something in his ear.
After listening to this, Carter Pike rubbed his sleepy eyes and then looked straight at Leon and Spesium, who was standing next to him and was obviously a tough guy.
"Are you the new head coach of Old Bear? Why are you running to my place instead of staying in Black Iron Castle to train those scumbags?" Carter Pike was mostly sober now, but he still spoke with a sarcasm in his voice.
"I see all the scum from your East Sea View are gathered in this tavern." Facing Carter Pike's provocation, Lyon immediately retorted without any loss.
Hearing this, Carter Pike was speechless. After a long while, a muffled groan came from his huge, red, rosacea.
"You little brat, do you really think that you can walk around the Night's Watch with your head held high just by defeating Colin and his rangers?"
"To tell you the truth, if the only fighting force of my East Sea Wang had not been taken to Black Iron Castle by the deputy captain to participate in the expedition patrol, you would have suffered a lot here just based on what you just said." Cotter Pike was very arrogant and didn't take Lyon seriously at all.
"So that's how it is." Lyon's tone softened when he heard that Carter was not a useless person drinking here every day, but at least sent people to participate in Old Bear's patrol, which was considered to be doing some practical work.
He pulled over a chair and sat down, as if he wanted to discuss life with Carter Pike.
"I have nothing to say to you, Coach. If you are really competent, you should take your men back to Black Iron Castle immediately." Carter's face was full of rejection at Lyon's actions.
"As for Donghaiwang, I want to know the specific defense situation now. How come you are indifferent when the wildlings are operating right under your noses?"
"Wild people? Oh, are they just those ragged refugees from the wilderness who don't have enough food or sleep every day? They can't survive in the ice and snow, so they want to bring their families to the warmer areas south of the Great Wall to make a living."
After that, Carter added, "Regulating and killing these worthless savages will only increase the loss of weapons. I can't think of any other benefits."
Seeing that Leon was about to say something, Carter Pike raised his hand, and the bartender beside him filled his glass with golden wine.
"If you have come all this way here to discuss this with me, then you need not say more. Yesterday a shipload of merchants arrived from Braavos. This is the wine they brought. Drink this cup. It is a token of goodwill from Eastwatch."
After that, Cotter Pike handed the glass full of wine to Leon. At this time, everyone in the tavern, including the waiters, was staring at Leon's next move.
This concerns whether Lyon will get the respect and friendship he deserves in Eastwatch. If Lyon chooses to refuse, then even if they are all brothers of the Night's Watch, I believe Eastwatch will no longer welcome Lyon and his team.
Leon thought about it, took the cup with a smile, drank the liquid in the cup in an exaggerated motion, and then wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "No wonder you are addicted to this, this wine is really good."
"Haha! I said that a man who can beat a hundred people can definitely drink well."
Seeing Leon finish the drink, Cotter Pike's unhappiness was instantly swept away, and a bright smile bloomed on his face. He then put his arm around Leon's shoulders, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them were like brothers.
The situation changed so quickly that Speisium, who was watching from behind, was dumbfounded. He had been prepared to turn against Carter Pike, but the two of them hooked up together the next moment.
Fortunately, Spiesium always kept a straight face and looked bitter and resentful to everyone he met, so no one noticed his embarrassment for a while. Even the guy who was punched by him smiled and brought two glasses of wine, and handed one to Spiesium.
However, Spacium's character is different from the drunken night watchmen here. Since he took over the guarding job of Lyon, he has not drunk a drop of alcohol. He just put down his two-handed sword, stuck it on the ground like a crutch, and put his hands on the counterweight, guarding Lyon like a door god.
Perhaps it was the first time that the Night's Watch brothers saw such an inhumane person like Spesium. Anyway, no one disturbed Lyon and Cotter Pyke from having a private chat.
"It is said that this place is very close to Braavos, and the trade business is booming, right?" While speaking, Lyon kept raising his glass, getting Cotter Pyke, who was not very sober to begin with, drunk one glass after another, in an attempt to extract some information from him.
Because some of Leon's questions have personal purposes, they cannot be discovered by Carter Pike who is awake.
"Prosperous? Bullshit! Thanks to the sea ban that the man on the Iron Throne came up with, it takes ten days or half a month to catch a smuggling ship in Dolphin Bay now."
Seeing that Lyon could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, Carter Pike, who loved alcohol, naturally felt like drinking. After a few drinks, he told Lyon everything he wanted to know.
"What about the merchants from Braavos? Do you produce something special that the Free Trade Federation would be interested in?"
"Specialties? Besides wild men, here we have bird droppings, and those Night's Watch scum who urinate everywhere when they are drunk." Cotter Pyke seemed amused by Leon's question, and he subconsciously raised his voice. The Night's Watch brothers around him were not angry when they heard their captain's evaluation of them. Instead, they laughed and drank.
"What about the merchants in Braavos? You have to know that thousands of years have passed. Among the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, only the North still supports the Night's Watch and occasionally sends them food and fodder. I think the people of Braavos, who are separated by the Narrow Sea, don't need to worry about the invasion of wildlings, right?"
