Earl Odeh, feeling feverish, forcibly suppressed the regret in his heart, and he motioned to the bachelor Bancrof, who opened a package that had been placed in his hand a long time ago, and took out a handful of Westerling noodles tied in the center of a red silk cloth.

"What is this?" asked Sir Kevon.

"It's somen noodles, a kind of somen that we've never seen or eaten, it's delicious, and you can freely add eggs, ham, spices, snow salt, boil it in boiling water for a few minutes and eat it. It can also be eaten raw, and Gregor named this noodle Westerling somen noodles. It is said to have been produced mechanically. "I have been to Cleganeburg, but Sir Gregor has refused to show me the noodle machinery. ”

Duke Tywin's expression remained the same, but his eyes lit up.

"Sir Gregor has invented the noodle machine again?" said Sir Kevon, surprised.

"No, Sir Gregor has denied that he invented it. He said that the noodle machine was invented by Master Tob Mott. However, I don't believe it. ”

"Tob Mott, the weapon master in King's Landing's Steel Street?"

"Yes, Master Tob Mott appeared in Cregan out of nowhere. The event itself is unusual. Master Tob Mott had his own blacksmith shop in Steel Street, and his blacksmith shop was not rented, but a property he bought with money. Why did a weapon master, who is not short of fame and profit, suddenly appear in Klegan Village?"

The more Earl Odd spoke, the more confident he became, and although he did not dare to look directly at Lord Duke for too long, he dared to look at the other two scholars of Sir Kevon.

"Ser Gregor has invited Master Tob Mott from King's Landing to Clegane Village, what does he want to do? Build the best weapons and armor? Then he should hand over Master Tob Mott to Lord Duke, and let Master Tob serve Lord Duke in Caesy Rock, not for himself. ”

Tywin didn't say a word, his hands pressed against the table, not angry.

The three scholars and Earl Kevon nodded frequently as they listened.

"Lord Duke, Jane arrived in Klegon Village for a month, and she suddenly invented the sinking bend? I think both of these inventions were invented by Sir Gregor. Count Odd affirmed.

Duke Tywin stared at Earl Odd and nodded.

This nodding immediately gave Count Ode great confidence and incomparable courage.

"Lord Duke, Lord Earl, University Scholars, there is nothing that Sir Gregor has invented new scientific and practical things after his wisdom, and there are many people like this on the continent of Westeros, whether it is in the field of occultism or science, there is not only one Sir Gregor who has received the light of the Seven Gods. Even more powerful than that, we all know the story of Brynden Kawaven, who has a thousand and one eyes. ”

Everyone nodded their heads again in agreement, and looked appreciative of Count Ode's analysis.

Count Odeh was calm, the sweat on his forehead was gone, the small beads of sweat on the tip of his nose were gone, he became calm and calm, he knew that he had done the right thing about the Duke of Jinyan.

If something unusual happens, make a statement to the duke, which will prove his loyalty.

"Lord Duke, if it was clearly invented by Lord Gregor Clegane, but he pretends that it was invented by Miss Jenny and Master Tob, then first of all, he has lost his absolute loyalty to Lord Duke. Second, why did he hide the truth, and what was he upset about? Even if Lord Gregor was not selfish, and these two inventions really had nothing to do with him, I think Gregor Clegane is anything but unusual. Two ingenious and practical inventions in a row have taken place on his domain, not my Lannisport or the Duke's Castle Rock, so we Lannisters need to be on guard against him. ”

"Count Ode, every year there are new inventions in the school, and new formulas and theories in mathematics, medicine, architecture, astronomy, etc. are also appearing every year. Although the school city has almost all the inventions of the continent, the school city cannot threaten the interests of any nobleman. A scientific invention is just a scientific invention. Harry, a scholar, said.

"Yes, Scholar Harry. But with the civilization of writing and mathematics, the school city has scientific inventions in various fields every year. This is not surprising. Thousands of scholars in the academy are also conducting academic research in various fields every day, and they are promoting the progress of civilization in our entire continent. "Count Odd paused deliberately and took a sip of water.

"—But, Scholar Harry, in the territory of Clegane, in a short period of time, snow salt, military sentry, chopsticks, sinking bends, noodle machinery, so many inventions have appeared, which is very unusual. Earl Odd looked Duke Tywin in the eye, "Lord Duke, because of these inventions, Gregor Clegane will become richer and stronger. He was now recruiting troops to build a hundred-strong cavalry to protect his territory, which also made me feel uneasy. ”

"Lord Earl, if scientific inventions appear more and more in the West, it will be Clegane and the Westside that will become more and more powerful as a result. Duke Tywin spoke, unhurried, and his voice was faint, "With the same technology, we don't need to spend a lot of money to buy the same kind of invention of the bachelor in the school. We can also sell the invention to the school, sell it to the king, and then spread it throughout the country in the name of the West, and even sell it through trade to the continent of Essos on the other side of the Narrow Sea. If Gregor's mind needs to be guarded, then are all the thousands of scholars in the academy, including the scholars around us, damned?"

The fiery atmosphere in the room, which had been stirred up by Count Ode, suddenly began to cool down.

Count Ode did not expect the Duke to say such a thing. His face couldn't help but turn a little pale. He looked at Sir Kaivon, who also sensed something was wrong and closed his mouth.

Duke Tywin's words changed, "But, Count Ode, your concern about Gregor loyalty has alerted me. ”

Count Ode's originally tense heart was rejoicing.

Duke Tywin casually tapped Earl Ode, suggesting that his slanderous deeds were not a great achievement, and that he should not be considered to take credit for it. Then say a word of approval, so that Count Ode can rest assured, although your credit is nothing, but it is also very good. This gave the Count the confidence to continue to provide him with information in the future.

The two words made Count Odd suffer from gains and losses, but also did not lose the hope and courage to speak up. Easily, the Duke kneaded the Earl's mood at will!

But the real beating of Lord Tywin was yet to come. Only, what exactly does he really think of Gregor Cregan?
