After walking out of the room, Evan looked up at the hazy sky. Only then did he realize that the sun was getting less and less, and the long night was coming.

Aven came directly to the room and waited for the banquet to be held. It was found that Ed was already waiting outside. He stepped forward: "Aven, I don't want to go to King's Landing to succeed as Prime Minister, this position should belong to you. ”

"Lord Eddard, I understand your problem."

Ed is a silent northern man who disdains to explain. But this time it's Aven, a man who can cause turmoil in the Seven Realms. Ed took Evan to a secret room, closed the door and Ed spoke: "Aven, Robert and I have been a comrade-in-arms for more than ten years, and the two of us were raised by the same adoptive father. He threatened me with affection, and I really had no way to refuse! ”

Evan spoke, "My lord, I understand. I don't have any complaints about that. I have promised the king that I would go to King's Landing and be your advisor. ”

The whole continent knows that Evan wants to be prime minister, and he has enough ability to be the best candidate to be prime minister. And geniuses have a common problem, that is, arrogance, Ed thought that Evan would definitely be angry if he didn't become the prime minister this time, but he didn't expect that he was willing to let go of the insult from Robert and would go to King's Landing to help him.

At this moment, Ed realized that he had never understood Aiwen: "Are you really not angry?" Elvin. ”

Evan said, "Lord Eddard, I said I wasn't angry, but you didn't believe it. Let me tell you my story.

When I was born, my mother died in childbirth. My father raised me since I was a child, but because of my weak constitution, I was out of breath after walking a few steps. Gradually, my father gave up on me.

Later, my father married a woman from the Hightower family, and you should have heard those rumors, they are all true. Actually, I don't hate that woman, I hate my father. I hated him for watching that woman poison me and turn a blind eye. On my way out of Bear Island to the Great Wall, I vowed to prove in the future that the son he had abandoned would achieve great things.

At that time, I wanted to be the prime minister, but after so many years, I have achieved so much, and my reputation has already spread to the continent of Essoros on the other side, I think he must regret treating me so badly. Now, I don't need to prove anything. Therefore, it does not matter whether he becomes prime minister or not. ”

After listening, Ed patted Evan on the shoulder, then walked out of the room to give Evan some time to be quiet.

Proving that you will achieve extraordinary things to someone who has abandoned you proves that you still love the person who abandoned you. But Evan had no feelings for his father, Jorah Mormont, at all. The reason why he said this was so that Ed would not doubt himself.

The only person in the entire Westeros continent who can understand Aven now is Lyanna Mormont, the nine-year-old girl. Aven has only one purpose, to destroy the ghosts! Nothing else matters.

After spending some time in the Chamber of Secrets, Evan went out, ready to go to Jon Snow. At this point, it is a foregone conclusion that he will not be able to become prime minister, and he has to plan for the future now!

Winterfell Evan had been here many times, and it didn't take long for him to come to the door of Jon's room. After two knocks, Evan pushed the door open and walked in. I found that one big and one small were talking inside.

Evan looked at the two of them, "Hello, Jon. The one next to you must be Tyrion Lannister, the "little devil"! ”

Before Jon could speak, the dwarf spoke, "You look pale and sickly, like someone who could die at any moment. Presumably it is the "Witness of the Stranger" Evan Mormont! ”

It was clear that Tyrion's words of "Stranger Witness" were full of sarcasm, but Evan just smiled, "If there are no other "Stranger Witnesses" on Westeros, then you're talking about me. ”

Tyrion looked at Aven, "I heard you're the smartest person in all of Westeros, but how could you write such nonsense?" ”

In addition to his weak physique, the only thing that Ai Wen was criticized by the nobles of the Seven Realms was the "History of the Westeros Continent", which was based on legends and artistically processed fantasy.

Evan smiled, "Tyrion, have you read that book?" ”

"I've seen it!"

"When you watch it, do you feel that a certain plot will make you very excited? For example, the ancestors crossed the sea and began the prelude to the human conquest of Westeros? Or Master Brandon Stark, building the Great Wall of Desperation and fighting hundreds of strangers? ”

Tyrion spoke, "Yes, there is a plot that seems very refreshing, but it can't be disguised as. For example, the Green Prophet used magic to destroy the connection between the two continents and create the Dorne Arm, and for example, the Green Prophet created the neck that separates the north and the south. There are also strangers, giants. This is pure! ”

Evan certainly wouldn't explain that this was most likely true, and that would definitely be mistaken for a psychopath. He smiled: "You should be entertained, who will take this seriously." When I write, I only write as a story, not as a history. ”

Jon, who had watched the two arguing for a long time, finally couldn't help it: "Don't argue, it's nothing." ”

Evan didn't say anything, but Tyrion wasn't satisfied, "Nothing? How could it be nothing? The book will be seen by a literate aristocracy, and it will surely be known that this is an artistically processed story. But because the plot of this book is so vivid, most of the civilians in the Seven Realms now know about it. They won't think it's just stories like the aristocracy, they'll just think those are true! I've also done research in the West, and 80 percent of the people in the area think what stories are true! ”

Evan didn't expect Tyrion to investigate this, he actually did. More than 95 percent of the people in the North believe these stories to be true. Because these legends are mainly passed down in the mouths of the descendants of the ancestors.

And the further south he went, the fewer people believed, remembering that three years ago when he surveyed the western frontier, it was only 50 percent, and now it has reached 80 percent. It seems that Evan still overestimates the level of awareness of the people of this world and the efficiency of knowledge dissemination.

It is estimated that for those who have never read a book at the bottom of their lives, this oral storybook will become history. Instead of arguing with Tyrion, Evan turned to Jon and said, "What's next for you, I remember the last time you said you wanted to be a night watchman?" ”

Jon spoke, "Yes, Uncle Bunyan is back this time, and I want to go with him to the Wall!" ”

Evan spoke, "Jon, with the support of Bear Island's troops and materials in recent years, the Night's Watch is strong enough. Coupled with the fact that the war with the Wildlings had just ended, there was at least a period of calm for more than five years. If you go to the Great Wall, you can't say anything. Why don't you go to King's Landing with me? ”

Jon spoke loudly, "Aven, you've become Prime Minister?" ”

Evan spoke: "I didn't become the prime minister, your father became the prime minister. I will be on my way to King's Landing as a counselor with Lord Eddard. ”

Jon was amazed. Even Tyrion next to him was amazed. In the eyes of everyone, the position of prime minister this time is none other than Aven.

This is the result of Aven's propaganda operation in the past few years, and everyone thinks that he will be the next prime minister. But no matter how much propaganda is promoted, the choice of the prime minister is in the hands of Robert, who does not trust Aven. So Evan was defeated.

This is a naked slap in the face, and the slap on Aven's face hurts. What is the result of this happening? It should be Evan who came to overthrow Robert with a wave of war, which should be the idea of most people on the continent of Westeros.

But Evan didn't do that, he chose to endure the humiliation of being slapped in the face and go to King's Landing with Eddard.

With no self-esteem at all, this is Tyrion's greatest image of Aven's meeting. If he encounters this kind of thing, even if he doesn't rebel, he will go home and not go to King's Landing for the rest of his life, instead of making it up.

Do you want self-respect? It must be important, if people don't have dignity, they are almost like the walking dead, like Theon Greyjoy in the original book. But is self-esteem important to Aven? It doesn't matter at all.

It's not that he doesn't have self-esteem, but he has a bigger mission waiting for him to accomplish.
