"With the Seven Gods on top, you can run faster than a dog that sees bones!"

Egding would have felt offended if it had been someone else who had shouted this in public, but now ......

"I ran fast because I missed you, and I didn't feel unfamiliar with your ability to offend people when I saw you open your mouth, but I was really relieved. He smiled wryly and sneered, accepting the inappropriate analogy, "I have to say, at least now there are fewer people who dare to hold a grudge against you because of this, aren't they, Governor Lannister?"

In retaliation, he gave the dwarf a big hug, leaned on his arms and breastplate, and strangled the other party until he couldn't breathe and his feet were off the ground before letting him go.

"Whew...... I retract that sentence! Really, don't do it again. Tyrion rubbed his chest with one hand and gasped with the other, "But you have to promise, and you will have to talk to me later about how to convince the people of the North to support the Dragon Queen, and to get from Twin Cities to Golden Tooth City in just a few days." ”

Tyrion's surprise was not fake, he had received a declaration of conquest and a personal letter from Egger from the Twin Rivers more than a week earlier, thinking that the other party was still hundreds of miles away, and the whole river that had not yet stood in the middle of the line, so he spent a few more days in Lannishaven, taking care of all the affairs in his hand before leaving in a carriage, and staggered for a few days to reach the Golden Tooth City...... Ben was still making a bet with his attendants to wait here for a few days, but who would have thought that the defenders would learn that the coalition led by Egger had arrived outside the city a day earlier than him, and they had all set up camp and asked the city to send someone to negotiate.

It took eight days to run from Twin River City to the gate of the West?!

Tyrion knew that the princes of the Riverlands were very incapable of fighting, but Egg's flying speed was still greatly beyond his expectations, and if it weren't for the fact that the other party had already announced the marching plan, the defenders of Golden Tooth City would have to wait for them to appear outside the city to know that the other party had arrived.

"No problem, we have a whole day and we can talk slowly. Egger agreed, "Well, I'm a little curious about your accomplishment in establishing Westeros' first major bank in the West—please, Lannister." ”

Most of the negotiators were left on the outskirts of the barracks, and Tyrion walked to the center of the camp with two personal guards under the guidance of Egger, and while sorting out the number of flags in the coalition army, he checked the morale and equipment of the soldiers, and arrived at the Chinese tent in a thoughtful manner. After leaving everyone outside, only two people entered, and the ...... began On the surface, it looks like an old friend meeting, but in fact it is a secret negotiation between the Queen's camp and the West.

......

The two hadn't seen each other in years, each had a ton of gripping stories to tell, and after spending a lot of time satisfying each other's curiosity, Tyrion cocked his legs and took the lead in getting the conversation to the point.

"Most of the nobles and officials in Lannisport already knew about the declaration of conquest you sent, and to be honest, there were still a lot of people who thought you were bluffing and scaring people before. The gnome grinned, "But when they know about your feat of penetrating and subduing the entire Riverlands in a week, I'm afraid they won't think about it again." Since the queen sent you instead of riding a dragon, she must have secretly given you a list of conditions for the West to submit...... There is no need to hide between the two of us, just report it all, and I can go back to my father and uncle to explain it." ”

Egg looked at Tyrion with the same smile, but did not speak directly, but sat and looked at him meaningfully and silently, until a few seconds later, the dwarf couldn't help but scratch his numb scalp, and then gave a non-askable answer: "Tyrion, you know, the days I spent with you in King's Landing on the Night's Watch Bonds and the Industrial Park were the most alive and lively times in the strange continent of Westeros. ”

Damn, Tyrion put his hand on his forehead in annoyance - it's been an hour of idle talking, hasn't he had enough connection? Now that the Targaryen dynasty is about to be restored, and the West is facing an unprecedented crisis, he really wants to get down to business quickly, how can he be interested in accompanying Iger to reminisce about the past eventful years?

"At that time, there was no pressure and no worries, and I just wanted to make a name for myself, can you not be happy!" Tyrion sighed sadly, "But now, I am the founder and president of Lannister Bank, one of the arms of Duke Tywin, and you have climbed to the position of commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch and become a confidant of the Dragon Queen...... Everyone has a career and care, and nothing can go back. ”

"Career and concern?" Iger curled the corners of his lips, "Tyrion, this doesn't look like the you I know—just the founder and president of Lannister Bank, your father's arm...... Have you already been satisfied?"

Tyrion unceremoniously gave him a roll of the eyes—yes, he had been cynical, cynical, and playful, but that was because he was still a cripple in his father's eyes, a waste in the eyes of the world, a useless dwarf.

But now?

Family status, life values, social and professional dignity, he has everything...... How can you still be as chic in a good pair of shoes as you are barefoot?

"Laugh at me as much as you want, I will continue to live until I am eighty years old, drink a full stomach of wine, find a young girl to die in my warm bed with my life, and I will have no regrets in this life. Tyrion shook his legs and grinned, "If that's not enough, then tell me, what else can I do?"

"Sneer......" Egger didn't hide his disdain at all, chuckled and straightened his face, and said seriously, "It's not enough, it's far from enough, have you ever heard of a saying - everyone dies twice." The first time was when he stopped breathing, and the second time was when his name was last pronounced. We are all mortal beings in the flesh, and we can't escape the death of the previous time, but in the latter thing, we should at least work towards eternal life! How long do you think you will be remembered as the 'founder of Lannister Bank'? We should cooperate and do something bigger!"

Strangely, Tyrion stared at Egg like a psychopath, suddenly remembering the scene from the first time they met. At that time, the guy in front of him claimed to be an adventurer from "Caina", and was traveling around the world to prove that this world is a ball, and the place he came from was incredibly high-tech......

At that time, didn't I think he was talking nonsense, but he was hung up on his appetite?

After a few taps on his thigh with his finger, the dwarf finally sighed helplessly: "You're such a devil, you always know how to catch people!

Iger raised his right arm and waved it in the air: "Build an empire that is unprecedentedly large, and upgrade Lannister Bank to Westeros Bank and even Pan-Continental Bank...... Extend military and financial supremacy to every corner of the known world, leaving your own surname and first name in the content of every chronicle and history textbook for later generations...... Isn't that big enough?"
