Sorting the "eggs" into baskets, the Night's Watch industry begins to prepare for the upcoming turmoil of the Seven Kingdoms. The chaotic night and day left Iger physically and mentally exhausted, and after ordering many things to settle a dozen or so night watchman brothers who had come from afar, Iger took Jaqun and Nirnina, as well as his own "guard squad...... All those who accompanied them through this catastrophe went to a big meal to celebrate the victory.

When I returned to my home, I fell asleep.

The sleep was extraordinarily sweet, and I had no dreams all night. It wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that he was woken up by a cough.

When he opened his eyes, it was still dark outside the window, but the room was already illuminated by the light of the oil lamp, and Egg's mind turned, and he was half awake - he had never been in the habit of sleeping with the lamp lit, no matter how lazy or tired he was, he would turn off the light before closing his eyes, and this lamp must have been lit by someone else!

Iger sat up from his bed—a man sat on a table stool in front of his bed.

"Who?" Egg asked, quickly touching his hand under the pillow and holding a small dagger placed there, but in the next second he recognized the uninvited guest: "Ah Kun! what are you doing here?"

......

Anyone who wakes up in the middle of the night and suddenly finds a top killer sitting next to the bed, I'm afraid that they will feel a chill in their hearts...... But Egger reacted quickly: if Jia Kun wanted to kill himself, he would definitely be cold now, and it would be impossible for him to keep his eyes open.

"Someone apologizes - for waking up the adults. ”

"What's the matter with you?" Egg frowned, noticing that instead of wearing the black uniform of an employee of the Night's Watch today, he was wearing a featureless outfit that he had never seen before.

With his hand still holding the dagger under his pillow, Iger sat on the bed and stared at Jaqun in an eerie scene.

"Somebody is here to say goodbye to adults. Jia Kun still said unhurriedly: "I don't know if you remember that on the day you first met someone, you agreed that you must be informed before leaving. ”

"There's such a thing. Egg remembered that he had been confused for a long time that Jacquin had stayed in King's Landing, and finally decided not to dwell on the matter anymore, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly resign at the most unexpected moment: "But...... Why can't you say goodbye during the day and wake me up before dawn?"

"Again, I ask for your forgiveness, but someone is going to take the first boat to sea today, and time is pressing, so I have to be so rude. ”

(What an upright guy, just leave a note, you have to run over in the dark and scary.) Egg complained secretly, a little regretful, no matter what the purpose of Jia Kun staying by his side, but with such a master as a follower, he was actually much safer...... It's a pity that such a powerful bodyguard is leaving.

Releasing the hand holding the dagger under the pillow, Egg rubbed his head: "Since you are in a hurry to leave, then I will not force you to stay, what you said earlier, I can still practice it for you." Anyway, thank you for saving my life the night before. ”

"But before leaving, someone has one last thing and wants to ask the adults to answer truthfully. The Faceless One sat silently on his stool, looking at the speaker, "Are there really thousands of 'ghouls' that the Night's Watch brought into King's Landing yesterday? Are the Night's Watch lying to get support, or do they really exist?" Will the Night's Watch be able to hold off these enemies?"

Why did the Faceless One care so much about this?, Egger wondered, and thought carefully that since the moment Jaquin saw the ghoul yesterday, he had changed from a sullen melon to a chattering verbose ghost, constantly asking about the content...... Not only that, it's better today, just change your clothes and resign, and before leaving, you have to find yourself to personally confirm this matter, what is the relationship between the situation outside the plug and the top spies in Braavos?

＊＊＊

Egger pondered for a while, and quickly figured out the question: the situation outside the Great Wall really had something to do with Braavos...... The Iron Throne is the largest customer and debtor of Braavos' Iron Vault, and if human predators from outside the Fortress cross the Wall and invade the Seven Kingdoms, turning Westeros into a living hell, Braavos will never be able to recover the loan he has put in Westeros.

In this era of low productivity, millions of gold dragons are a huge amount of money that cannot be described as amazing, and without this money, the capital chain of the iron vault will have extremely serious problems.

In short: if the prophecies of the Long Night and the Strangers are true...... The Seven Kingdoms, which are only separated by a Great Wall from Cyprus, are definitely "high-risk customers" that banks can't avoid, and Braavos may not only not lend money to anyone in the Iron Throne or Westeros, but even the original debts...... Probably try to recover it as soon as possible!

Is it possible that Jaquin saw the "living" ghouls, experienced the rumors about the identity of the prince, and witnessed the civil unrest in the Red Keep, and then found that the Iron Vault's "loan risk" to Westeros was seriously exceeded, so he had to go back to Braavos to report back to Braavos in person?

This is just Egger's speculation from the perspective of a businessman, and the specific reason is probably only clear to Jia Kun himself. Perhaps, Braavos just wanted to study ghouls, and it was possible to create an army of the dead.

......

"There is no half-story, the situation outside the Cypriot is only more serious than words can describe - ghouls are not only humans, but there are many more terrifying and powerful creatures than humans...... The most troublesome thing is that there are more than 100,000 wild people outside the Great Wall, and they are the source of reserve troops for the ghouls. As winter comes, their numbers will soon change from 'thousands' to 'hundreds of thousands'. Iger sat on his bed, facing the Faceless in his pajamas, always feeling like he was being forced to confess: "Ghouls and strangers can't cross the Great Wall on their own, but as winter falls, the sea beyond the East China Sea will be frozen, not to mention the Grand Canyon west of the Shadow Tower...... The Great Wall of Desperation is indeed an incomparably reliable defensive structure, but the Night's Watch is seriously insufficient in terms of troops, materials, and combat effectiveness to make it difficult for the Great Wall to fully function. If not, do you think the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch would make an exception and send people away from the Wall for business and military training?"

Jia Kun sat on the stool, was silent for a few seconds, nodded his head to show that he understood, and then stood up: "Someone understands, then, my lord, say goodbye and meet again." ”

I'm afraid we won't see each other again. Seeing Jakun walking towards the door, Iger suddenly had an intuition: this would be the last time he would see Jaqun Hegar in his life, and his heart moved, so he couldn't help but stop him: "Wait a minute, I answered a question from you, and I took the liberty of asking one, you can not answer." This question has nothing to do with profit or the future of the Night's Watch industry, it is purely a personal curiosity: "What the hell are you doing running from Loras and sneaking into the royal library?"

Someone once replied that he was looking for a book about dragons, not to deceive adults. Jia Kun stood at the door and slowly turned around: "But someone also admitted that there was indeed something to hide." The one who is curious about the dragon is not someone, but a friend of someone...... A widely circulated prophecy claimed that the dragon in the stone was about to be awakened, and this friend of mine happened to get a dragon egg around the time indicated in the prophecy, and he believed that the dragon egg could hatch dragons. So, he asked someone to come to Westeros to find a way to hatch dragon eggs left over from the Targaryen dynasty. ”

A friend? Even people of this era know how to use friends as an excuse, if you guess correctly, this so-called "friend" is actually the black and white courtyard of Braavos. It seems that Euron Greyjoy hired the Faceless to assassinate Balon Greyjoy at the cost of a dragon egg...... Is it true?

"But unfortunately," Jacquin continued, standing by the door, "the prophecy of the awakening of the dragon in the stone has finally been fulfilled in a girl from House Targaryen, and someone feels that it is more important to bring the news of the ghoul back to their hometown and warn the people than to continue to search in vain for a way to hatch the dragon's eggs." ”

"I see...... Have a nice trip. ”

"Master Xie. For the first time since they met, Jia Kun showed a shallow smile: "The adults rescued someone from the prisoner car heading to the Great Wall, and according to the agreement, someone had to pay a ransom for himself when he left, and someone always did what he said, and within a few months, he would definitely send it." ”

"No, you save me once, and the debt has been paid off. ”

"It's Jakun Hegar who broke into the Red Keep and gets caught, and it's Jakun Hegar, an employee of the Night's Watch office, who saves the people, these are two different things. The Faceless One turned and pushed open the door, "It's almost dawn, someone has to go to the harbor before the ship leaves, talk no more, and take his leave." ”

Jaqun turned and walked out of the room, disappearing into the gray morning light, Iger sat on the bed for a while, subconsciously touched his body, except for the wound on his shoulder, he was indeed unharmed. Thinking about it, Jia Kun had been by his side for several months, and the two of them had not said as much as they had said in one day...... Although he still hasn't confessed the identity of the Black and White House killer "Faceless", he has indeed told himself a lot of information within the scope of permission.

Iger couldn't help but think about what price the Black and White House would offer if someone wanted to buy the Faceless One to assassinate him?

Although it was still early, he couldn't regain the slightest bit of sleepiness anyway, so he simply got dressed and went out to exercise in the courtyard, ushering in the day after the upheaval in King's Landing.

......

The people who had come to invite him to "tea" came much sooner than expected, and had just told NirNina and the others about Jaqun's departure, and had not yet left the night watchman's office...... Several gold-robed men came to Egger's residence, claiming that the Prime Minister had asked him to be interrogated.

Mentally prepared for this, Egger tidied up his clothes without panic, and calmly gave a few words to the few people who were sharing breakfast with him, before calmly following the comer away, full of style, so that the golden robe who came to grab him was a little at a loss.
