The king on the Great Wall

Page 166

Yes, I know what you're thinking: If this guy didn't eat those two pizzas, wouldn't he be able to lie down and be worth hundreds of millions?

From a simple mathematical conversion point of view (1 million = 1 million), there is nothing wrong with this idea, but along this "if" line of thinking logic extends to the extreme, until the end...

If Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, didn’t announce the concept and rules, and then dig the coins by himself and wait until the mining is almost done, and then introduce this concept, can he become a billionaire by this trick and rank among the world’s richest?

The answer is of course no!

A bitcoin in the hands of only Satoshi Nakamoto is worthless, not even a pizza.Only by sharing this new thing and new gadget with enough "smart people" can further let more ordinary people know this concept and participate in this game—some people play players and some take over. If enough people are profitable or consciously profitable, they will do their best to spontaneously promote and hype, so that the value of this invisible and intangible thing will continue to rise.

"Brightbringer" is similar to Bitcoin in this regard: as the great victory of the Night's Watch against the White Walkers comes to an end, Iger's mythology and added roles for the 77 legendary arrows will inevitably follow the victory. Word spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms and throughout the known world.

However, if no one participates and relays, no matter how wonderful the story is, it is just self-indulgence.If nothing is done, the enthusiasm will cool down and subside soon... In the end, this thrilling battle between humans and ghosts will become "a war of doubtful authenticity that is said to have taken place in the far north", and the light messenger will also... It will become "a magical weapon that is said to be used by the people in black to shoot and kill the White Walkers in this war of unknown truth".

In addition to frequently appearing in the bard's story and killing special kills, the night watchman and the 77 legendary arrows will soon fade out of people's vision.

Iger can bear this situation?

no way.

He melted and recast the legendary sword of the founding queen of the Targaryen dynasty and the "Dark Sisters" worth at least 10,000+ golden dragons into dozens of arrowheads. Morale and the ability to shoot White Walkers fell into dust.He has invested a lot of money and energy into this thing, making it famous and legendary.Now, it's time to realize this influence and let the Lightbringer exert its last remaining heat!

……

If someone simply understands the "realization" in Iger's plan as "converting into cash", that is, making dozens of ordinary tile-steel arrowheads pretending to be "light messengers" to sell for money, then Iger's thinking is too superficial .

The "present" he plans to change here is not cash, but real influence.

It is true that each of the 77 Lightbringers has a unique number and story. This kind of "limited sale" out-of-print legendary item, the preciousness of tile steel and the attribute function of hunting strange ghosts, can make many classes with spare money produce The desire to collect krypton gold, the cost is tens of thousands, and it is no problem to sell it for hundreds of thousands. 77 pieces are conservatively calculated to be worth tens of thousands of gold dragons, but a considerable sum of money can give the Night Watch Corps a big return to the finances. .

However, for a military organization that is in a state of war, has basically completed its armed forces, and is ready to compete for the country, finances are really not the primary consideration.

Food, although not all of the [-] Golden Dragon food purchased on loan from Braavos has arrived, but the part that has been reserved is enough to feed the entire land grant for a year-this is the case before the start of the war without reducing the number of personnel; weapons and equipment , Relying on Houguan Town's self-built metallurgical system, the land-grant has basically achieved self-sufficiency. Although not everyone is armed to the teeth, it is not much worse than the average level of the seven-nation army; as for other miscellaneous expenses , Iger can ask Daenerys for it!

Of course, the cost of fighting the country should be reimbursed by the person who was the last to sit in the country!Considering the Queen's record of quickly occupying most of the king's territory as soon as she landed, plus the fact that the Unsullied do not need military pay... She will not be short of money if she is short of anything.

The Night Watch Corps is not a temporary uprising of peasants. What Iger needs more now is soft power, the rationality and legitimacy of declaring war on the Seven Kingdoms, a tool to weaken the opposition voices within the land-grant, and a tool to improve the southerners' confidence in the army they lead and the monarch they support. The acceptance is the public opinion environment that will not be full of rebels after the war!

The public opinion offensive has captured the northern border, and the result is that the night watchman's work of collecting saltpeter is quite smooth... But "repelling the aliens" is a heroic feat for the northerners, and there is no similar cultural atmosphere for the south of the Neck As far as the remaining six countries are concerned, their influence is quite limited.In order to change this situation, Iger's countermeasure is: Let 77 "Light Messenger" perform tasks that match their names - act as small "messengers" who have no mouth and no words, and "go to various places" on behalf of the Night Watchman Corps , using each numbered small individual as the medium, like spreading seeds that take root and germinating and honeycomb-shaped communication base stations, the reputation and fame that should be brought about by the victory of this war between humans and ghosts-transfer, spread and amplify, and In the end, it was discounted as the legitimacy and assistance of the night watchmen to send the queen to the throne.

Influence and favorability, how much does this hard-to-quantify soft power help the Night Watchman Nanzheng and the Queen seize the Iron Throne?No one can tell, but considering the power attributes contained in the Iron Throne itself, the ease and efficiency of power→money conversion, and what Iger wants to do is not only to conquer the Seven Kingdoms but also to rule for a long time... It is certain that this investment is absolutely Excellent value for money.

And what is the quickest and easiest way to spread the 77 bright messengers to the Seven Kingdoms, up and down the straits?

Give them away.

Send it to people from all over the world.

***

After talking with Tob Mott and confirming the plan to cast forty Lightbringers to fill in the vacancies, the Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch got up to say goodbye to him friendly, and watched him leave the hall.

Iger was not at all worried that the senior blacksmith would leak the secrets—fifteen, Tob Mott was the second most owner of "Lightbringers" in the world after the Night Watch Corps. The news that "77 Legendary Arrows are a hoax" spread out would do more damage to his interests than anyone else, and no one would do such a stupid thing that would harm their own interests.Not to mention, as a mortal, Tob Mott doesn't understand the difference between dragon steel and ordinary tile steel at all. For him-this "false" was done by himself, the original caster, with sufficient materials, There is also the official recognition promised by the Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch.

"Humphrey!" Guessing that the blacksmith should go far away, Iger put away his thoughts and shouted, summoning one of his confidantes in Houguan Town. "Here is a list. According to the names and numbers on this list, the distribution of 'Light Messenger' is packaged and ready to be sent out."

"En." Humphrey Xishan agreed, took the list handed over by the commander-in-chief, and looked down.

A bunch of names and notes.

(Tobe Mott was so favored that he took fifteen of them... well, he deserved it, but why would there be one more? The Commander-in-Chief is really generous.)

(Participated in the battle between humans and ghosts, and there are several heroes and martyrs who shot and killed the aliens in the battle and performed well. Basically, one person is required. Well, it is necessary.)

(arrived in time and stopped several northern families of the White Walkers going south during the Battle of Long Lake, including the Stark family... a good plan, not only open and aboveboard, but also eased the tense atmosphere between the land grant and the northern border , further blowing the opponent's determination to fight with one's own side, wonderful!)

(Berry Dondarrion and some royals and nobles from the Narrow Sea Islands who followed Melisandre to the Great Wall... well, these people came from afar to help in the election of the commander-in-chief and the daily management of the land-grant with ten times the number of people. It’s understandable that the adults are busy, so we can’t let them go in vain.)

(The Iron Bank...well, the Night's Watch's biggest creditor, it doesn't seem wrong to say that they have credit.)

(The Royce family in the valley? Isn't this the family of the adult's enemy...)

Humphrey was stunned when he saw the sixth line, a little confused.But he can become Iger's trusted confidant, of course not only because of the friendship of "being in prison together in King's Landing", but because of Lingguang's brain and excellent execution ability - after a little thought, he figured out the reason: it turns out in this way!

Although the entanglement between the commander-in-chief and the Royce family has continued from the encounter with the White Walker to the election of the commander-in-chief of the Night Watch, but in the final analysis, the two parties have no mortal conflict of interest or deep hatred.As long as you have a little more guts to admit that Jon Royce fought to the death with the White Walkers in a crucial battle, and recognize him as a hero... As long as the rest of the Royce gang in the Vale have brains, they should follow along. At the bottom of the steps, they wrapped up the light messengers and confessed that they accepted the commander-in-chief's overture, agreed to reconcile with him, and even had to move up and down, even trying to fight for the valley and not to be an enemy of the gifted land.

Hmm... I'm afraid that the remaining two sons of Jon will not believe the official results announced by the Night's Watch and insist that their father was murdered by the Commander-in-Chief, then it will be troublesome.This arrow has to be delivered by a valley nobleman from the Alliance of the Righteous. They are familiar with each other and trust each other.

With a relief of having figured it out, Humphrey Hisham looked down to the last line.

Tywin Lannister.

(Also, the Western Territory donated a lot of military supplies to the Night Watch Legion when the Great Wall defenders were preparing for war, and the Lannister Bank also released a large loan to relieve the commander-in-chief Urgent, indeed a great contribution. But what are the two notes at the back... "77" and "Night King"? What do you mean?)

If you don't understand, just ask, Humphrey has always adhered to the purpose, he has always admitted that the commander-in-chief is smarter than himself, there is nothing shameful.

"'Lightbringer 77' shouldn't be lost, right?" Even if he didn't ask, Iger would take the initiative to explain the last two notes clearly: "Find it out, pack it, and send someone south to Duke Tywin... Also, in an official capacity, I announced that I shot and killed the Night King with this arrow on the night of the Houguan Town defense battle, forcing the army of ghouls to retreat, and a turning point appeared in the war of ghosts."

"Ah?" Humphrey Xishan was surprised, completely unable to hide his confusion.

The Lannister family has a good relationship with the land grant and is the second largest creditor of the Legion. After the war, the Night Watchman sent a gift to show their gratitude, which is completely understandable.But... the arrow that shot the Night King!Such a unique existence, why not leave it on the Great Wall as the treasure of the town wall and pass it on to the next commander-in-chief, and give it away?

Or give it to someone who didn't participate in the human-ghost war at all!

"My lord, please forgive me...I'm not saying that I don't think this honor can't be given away, but...the contribution of the Western Region to this war is far from that great. It's almost as good as you give to the Dragon Queen!"

"Queen? The whole set of Lightbringers is not rare for her. What she wants is the Iron Throne, the open support of the Night's Watch, and my full assistance and advice." Just like when he wanted to melt the Dark Sisters and was blocked in every possible way, Iger completely understood Ordinary people would object, he slowly shook his head and explained patiently. "And back to Duke Tywin, with his wealth, would he be rare for an ordinary tile-steel arrow? No, he can easily cast a hundred tile-steel arrows with money. What he lacks is not tile-steel arrows, but a A heirloom worthy of House Lannister!"

In the original plot, Tywin did not go to collect scraps of tiles and steel to make a complete sword to be the family sword, but waited for many years before waiting for the opportunity to split the "ice" of the Stark family into two swords ,Why?Because the scraps made out of bits and pieces are not worthy of being the heirloom of the Lannister family, but the spoils snatched from the Lord of the North are qualified!

"If giving someone a gift can't be useful and surprising, it's better not to give it. Whether it's the legend of 'Lightbringer', the auspicious number '77', or the background story and incidental glory of 'Shooting the Night King', they all play a role. There's only one—to get this arrow into Lord Tywin's eye, understand?"

"This..." Humphrey reluctantly accepted the explanation, "You are reasonable, but what I don't understand is why your lord wants to please the Lannister family like this? Aren't you the queen's servant now, Lannister The family was a traitor at the beginning...King Ellis! Are you afraid that the Queen will be unhappy when she hears the news?"

"You think I'm flattering the Lannister family?" Iger chuckled, "It's not wrong, but I have a principle: temporary flattery must be to get back a bigger return. The Western Territory is under the assassination of Kingslayer. The queen who injured King Robert was briefly besieged by the six kingdoms, and she seemed to be seriously injured, but in fact, it was precisely because of this that she avoided the subsequent infighting between the two deer and the three kings. In addition, the Lannister family took advantage of the vassals Being plundered and weakened, implementing gold control in the entire territory under his jurisdiction, and dispatching and using the wealth of the entire western region..." He knocked on the table, emphasizing his tone: "Except for the bloated freak in the River Bend who is not strong enough In addition to the calculations, in the remaining six countries, the Western Territory is a blessing in disguise, but it is the side with the most complete military and economic strength at present-if they patronize the war and let them watch the show, they may become the winners in the end!"

"So... Your Excellency wants to send gifts to numb their vigilance, so that they can catch the western region by surprise when they go south?"

"If you want to fart, what kind of character is Duke Tywin, who will be paralyzed by such a small trick? To deal with this kind of opponent, you can either kill him, or you can only rely on strength and conspiracy." Iger was amused by the subordinate's brain hole, Smiling and shaking his head, "Your question is actually very good. I still dare to publicly give such a big gift to the Lannister family even though I have already pledged allegiance to the Queen. Guess what Tywin will think? The biggest subtext of this Lightbringer 77 is actually Yes——I have already persuaded the Queen to not pay close attention to what the Lannisters did back then. With this layer of foreshadowing, when our army crosses the Neck and begins to advance south, I can logically Go to contact and negotiate with them, and try to turn the strength accumulated in the western region over the years of maintaining neutrality into your own use."

"How can the queen let go of such a deep hatred? Also, if Tywin accepts the gift, but insists on remaining neutral, what are you going to do?"

Where do so many problems come from?Iger coughed and became serious: "This is not something you should consider. Go and finish the things I arranged, and I know the rest."

……

Iger didn't answer, but it didn't mean he didn't think of these two points.

How could the queen and the Lannister family have such a big enmity so easily let go?This problem seems unsolvable, but it is actually quite easy to solve: Daenerys is too young after all... Although she is very smart, she is eager to do something big and break the wheel of history.If you want to control this kind of idealist, just act like a loyal "comrade" who has exactly the same ambitions and ideas as her and considers everything for her, and she will become unbelievably receptive.

As for the Lannisters' insistence on remaining neutral?With Tywin's shrewdness and long-sightedness, it is impossible not to understand this point: Either he will not die with the queen, or he will support her with all his family to make atonement, there is no third way to survive.Want to be neutral?Iger will not agree either, although he has a deep personal friendship with Tyrion and still owes the Lannister family a huge debt... But he will never tolerate the powerful West Territory standing on the sidelines and trying to reap the benefits of the fisherman.If the Lannister family didn't clearly stand in line, then even if he was ruthless, he would persuade the Queen to eliminate the threat of the Western Territory before launching the Great King's Land plan.

"Hmm... obey." Humphrey also came back to his senses, realizing that he had asked too much, nodded with a smirk, looked back at the list in his hand, and prepared to proceed.

Then a new problem was quickly discovered: "Wait, that's not right, my lord. There are only thirty or so Lightbringers left, which is not enough to divide the people on your list."

"There is a cross at the end of the first line, which means that Tob Mott's [-] rewards are only given to the quota, and there is no need to deliver the real thing immediately. The following six items must be implemented first."

Iger lowered his body and had a long talk with the blacksmith for a long time before, and finally succeeded in persuading the blacksmith to do a favor for the night watchman: give the existing more than 30 lightbringers to the night watchman army first, and use them for other more important purposes.And he took the "place" or "number" of forty light emissaries, and began to collect tile steel. After recasting 77 pieces, he kept fifteen pieces for himself as a reward, and returned the excess to the night watchman army. .

Iger plans to keep the remaining twenty or so for himself... If there is no accident, he will wait for other owners and those who want to own them to raise the price of Lightbringer before selling them, subsidizing the Legion's financial deficit, and making a profit by the way for retirement use.

Humphrey continued to inquire to confirm more detailed arrangements for sending arrows, and wrote down Iger's answer with a pen to avoid omissions and forgetting. At this moment, there were noises from guards and a man outside the door.

"Get out of the way, I want to see the commander!"

"Your Excellency is busy, I will announce the appointment for you... Hey, what are you doing?"

After a loud sound of shoving and cursing, the door of the conference hall was slammed open, and Jaime Lannister broke in.

-

Chapter 466 Lannisters

The cold wind whistled, scrambling to pour into the house.

Outside the door, there were more guards who came after hearing the noise; inside the door, there were two Night Watch officers who looked up at the intruder in confusion... James just stood at the door aggressively, completely Ignoring the two guards on duty who had drawn their weapons and pointed at his vest behind him.

"James?" Iger frowned and looked at the kingslayer who was about to eat people at the door, vaguely knowing why he was angry. "I didn't transfer you back to Houguan Town, you shouldn't be here."

"So I should continue to help the Yankees guard the warships at Icestrait Harbor? I put on black to be a night watchman, not to be a guard for the Stark family!" James replied angrily, turning impatiently He glared at the two guards who were staring at him eagerly: "Can you please stop talking? I don't even have a sword. It looks like I'm here to assassinate someone!"

Leaving the station without a transfer order, and forcibly breaking into the commander-in-chief's premises... At this sensitive time when Iger is planning to move south, Carter Pike, Bowen Marsh, or Oser Yawick were replaced This kind... any old night watchman who dares to commit these two crimes at the same time, no matter how high his position is, his life will not be saved.But a kingslayer is a kingslayer after all, and Iger is still planning to use his father's power for the Queen's use. Could it be possible that he can order his son to be chopped into a pulp?

Not to mention, Iger knew James very well—it was unlikely that he was trying to harm himself with his annoyance written on his face.

"Go out and close the door." Iger ordered after thinking briefly, deciding to tolerate James' presumptuousness for a while.But just to be on the safe side, he didn't let Humphrey leave - in case something happened, a subordinate could at least buy himself time to draw his sword.If you can't deal with an unarmed samurai with the one you are used to, then you have been a soldier for several years in vain.

The guard who had just been pushed and shoved reluctantly retracted his weapon and closed the door. James snorted and stepped into the room, but he didn't do anything threatening. Sitting down.

……

"What do you want to say?" Ai Gelue breathed a sigh of relief, but his face remained stern, and he started to explain first: "You know how hard it took me to convince the Queen—neither to trouble you nor to burn Lan Nestor's family? Keep a low profile, don't jump out to show your presence, it's a waste of my hard work!"

"Fuck your queen!" James seemed to be gnashing his teeth. "Who do you want to kneel to is your own business, I care about you? I must be the forward commander of this expedition!"

Ok?What the hell?

It took a few seconds for Iger to make sure he had heard the incoherent sentence, and then realized that the two were not on the same channel: he thought James was mad because he swore an oath of allegiance to Daenerys , it turned out... he wanted to invite Ying to command a war that would never start?

The strategic deception of this "expedition outside the Great Wall" was so successful that even his own people believed it!

Suppressing a laugh, Iger asked earnestly: "Well, that's how it is. But—why can't I talk about this kind of negotiable matter, but I can't step down if I force my way in like this?"

"Why do you say!" James became even angrier, "How many letters have I sent from Icestrait Harbor to Houguan Town to 'discuss' with you, and you answered me half a word?" He punched the table angrily "If I hadn't seen the ghoul you sent to King's Landing back then, do you think I would obediently propose to put on black clothes? I have been doing stupid things all my life, and I finally wanted to do something right, but you While commanding a group of people to fight with the White Walkers, I was fighting with a group of bandits from the Iron Islands in Icestrait Harbor with the sea breeze blowing? What the hell was it to protect the 'Northern Navy'! Even Elis and Law Bo doesn't dare to humiliate me like this!"

"Cough..." Iger was at a loss for words. He led his troops south to chase down the remaining White Walkers, and then wasted a lot of time pulling the injured dragon back to Last Hearth City. He really just returned to Houguan Town now, and he hadn't had time to deal with it at all. Backlog of letters. "I'm sorry, I really didn't see the letter. I planned to deal with it at night. I ordered you to lead troops to garrison at Ice Strait Port. I was thinking that the port was threatened by Euron and needed a small but elite force to protect it. Other meanings. As for the White Walkers who crossed the Grand Canyon but didn't attack Ice Strait Harbor, I couldn't predict this in advance..."

Iger stopped by himself, he thought it was a bit funny—during this war, among the Night Watchmen and all the fortresses and castles attacked by the White Walkers in the North, only Eastwatch and Houguan Town barely defended, and the rest were conquered and flattened in one fell swoop. , The slaughter was clean.And even these two strongholds were defeated by the help of the Red God Priest and the contribution of the Dragon Steel Explosive Bomb respectively... In the many fortresses on the east line of the Great Wall that have not been attacked by the White Walkers, I don’t know how many people did not come because of the White Walkers. Thank goodness, it turns out that there are people in this world who--are furious because they didn't meet the White Walkers?Still come to find yourself, the commander-in-chief Xingshi, to question him?

Do I have to explain it to him nicely?

This is really called realism.

"My lord, you have made a mistake." Humphry, who did not leave, interrupted with a smile, "The reason why Sir James is angry is neither your arrangement nor the fact that Icestrait Port is a military port for the northern border. Determined to redeem the sins of the first half of his life by fighting against the ghosts and the dead, but in the end, he didn't even see the dead and the ghosts, and the battle was over..."

"Don't speculate on other people's thoughts casually!" What nonsense are you talking about?James blushed and roared, "The idea of ​​using Icestrait Harbor as a military port in the north is stupid! If you don't meddle in the battle between the Starks and the Iron Islands and provoke the Ironborn, how can they eat you?" We were full enough to attack the Night Watchman’s stronghold on the night when the White Walkers attacked? There were no ironmen to harass and contain the defenders of Icefjord Harbor, and the nearly 2000 people guarding the port were filled along the Grand Canyon, and the dead might not be able to cross the defense line at all. Even Still can't resist, with me in the canyon watch or the shadow tower, I will never let the dead break through the fortress so easily!"

Iger does not deny that Kingslayer is the best in martial arts in the Seven Kingdoms, but if there is a fortress where he is, the White Walkers will not be able to break it?This is a little too arrogant. In the face of such a crazy tactic of attacking the whole line, doubling the defenders along the Grand Canyon will not change the outcome. An extra 2000 people can only delay it for an hour and a half at most; The role behind the tide of ghouls... Even if you give you a "Dark Sister" or even a "Black Fire", how many ghouls can you kill?The Night King hides behind thousands of ghouls, can you throw a sword a thousand feet?

"It's just your personal one-sided opinion." Iger shrugged, but he didn't say that I think you are bragging. "In my opinion, if there is no night watchman to provide a hidden military port in the extreme north... No matter where the northern border builds a navy on the west coast, it will definitely cost several times the manpower and financial resources of Ice Strait Harbor to maintain a military presence on the west coast , to ensure the safety of the shipyard and the unimpeded transportation of materials from the northern border to the military port. In such a situation where most of the troops are trapped in the quagmire of war, if the White Walkers still bypass Houcrown Town and go directly south, the Stark family will not be able to Call another army to go north to intercept them, if the White Walkers are allowed to enter the northern border to kill and kill, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Isn't this your own one-sided idea? If the Grand Canyon doesn't fall, can the White Walkers fly to the North? Which round will the Yankees deal with?" James became excited, "Forget it, I don't want to be here with you Deduce a war that has ended... If you don't let me lead the way this time, I will lead my own people to lead the way!"

Iger couldn't laugh or cry, this kingslayer is in his thirties, and he really competes with teenage children in the second grade. How should I answer him?

disagree?Although James' behavior of leaving his post and breaking into the house this time was a little arrogant, but he was at fault first, and his request was not too much, so he refused him for any reason... Please, this is It takes a certain amount of courage to marry a fierce man who has stabbed two kings.It's not that Iger doesn't have the courage, the point is that the knot is unnecessary!

Frankly speaking, the so-called "expedition outside the Great Wall" is nonsense?Although James can be regarded as one of his own, Iger is very suspicious of his ability to keep secrets-not that he is a big mouth, but: just tell him "I'm sorry that all the ghosts in this world have been killed for the time being." After thousands of years, the next round of cold god invasion will be used again, so you have no chance." After...whether he will be furious, roar and make a scene and cause the news to leak, Iger doesn't want to take the risk to try.

How to do?

After being in a dilemma for a moment, Iger changed his mind: Wait, what are you struggling with?Anyway, James is the deadly enemy of the Targaryen family. It is impossible to take Daenerys with him on this trip to the south to conquer the Seven Kingdoms. The old-school night watchmen sent out to the north of the Great Wall to hang out... One more or one less would have no effect on the overall situation, so why not just agree to him and let him lead the troops to go outside the Great Wall where there are no people or ghosts?

After this guy finished shopping around, he "couldn't find any traces of the White Walkers" and had no choice but to return. At that time, the Night Watchman officially announced that he had successfully "expelled the White Walkers from the human power." The honor and honor that James wanted With all the credit, is it possible that he can blame himself, the commander-in-chief, for not being able to find the Other Ghost?

Just do it!

With a certain idea, Iger began to think about which fortress to send James to lead the "expeditionary army" out of the fortress, and quickly began to organize his words, but before he opened his mouth to announce his decision, the guards outside the house knocked on the door again: " My lord, Miss Maeve please see me."

Myrcella?Could it be that he knew that his own father was making a fuss here, so he came to rescue him?

Iger thinks it's unlikely, but it doesn't matter if it's here, Iger is a little curious—whether James can continue to make trouble like a child who can't eat sugar in front of his own daughter.

"Let her in."

……

"Master Iger, good afternoon." Myrcella's slender and petite body squeezed in from the door that was only less than halfway open, and greeted sweetly. The next second, she saw James, with an unnatural expression on her face. stand up.

The girl actually vaguely heard that James had returned to Houcrown Town from Icestrait Harbor yesterday, but with her current status as the adopted daughter of the Stark family, it is really neither suitable nor reason... and she does not want to see him kill herself in name Father's biological father.But now that he is about to leave Houguan Town, he doesn't know when he will have the chance to come again, and he decides to say goodbye to Iger, so even though he heard James' voice outside the door, he still bites the bullet and asks for a visit.

"Myrcella?"

Contrary to his daughter, James was really taken aback—he was already restricted from contacting Joffrey and Tommen, plus Myrcella’s public name and identity was now Maeve Snow—— Winterfell and the Night's Watch had done such a good job of covering their identities that the father and daughter had been in the same town for two days, and he still had no idea of ​​the girl's existence!

Just as Iger guessed: James' anger disappeared in an instant, he stood up from his chair, and instantly put the topic of arguing behind him... After a moment of hesitation, he slowly changed into a pair An expression of infinite tenderness.

"Honey, you... how are you doing recently?"

While speaking, James approached the girl with slightly open arms, as if he wanted to hug her.

"I'm fine." How could it be better?Unable to pretend not to know, Myrcella replied helplessly.Fortunately, the three people in the room knew her real identity long ago, and they were not worried about leaking the secret... She carefully stepped back a few steps to the side as she spoke, avoiding James' hug without showing any signs, with a look of Blame: "Uncle, your voice can be heard from a long distance outside the house. No matter how you say it, Master Iger is your superior after all, can't you... pay attention to the volume."

James was speechless. It was a reunion after a long absence, but he didn't exchange greetings or hug and cry when they met. He came up to blame... Although the tone was not serious, but just this attitude, even if he was too nervous, he would be embarrassing I was speechless for a while.

"We... we were discussing some issues."
