Chapter 34: Foregone conclusion

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, but Tyrion was not a sound man, and no matter how much he argued, Bunyan would not be able to fight him. Maester Aemon thought for a while, waved his hand to signal Stark and Lannister to stop arguing, and turned his head slightly to Mormont, who was sitting on the side watching the tiger fight: "Lord Commander-in-Chief, there has been a reply from the side of Dragonstone Island, allowing us to send people to mine Dragon Crystal." ”

"Over there, don't you just send some people," Mormont raised his eyebrows, and suddenly thought of something, "What ......do you mean?"

The Blind Master nodded, "Dragonstone and King's Landing are very close, since Lord Tyrion is so confident in Egger's abilities, why don't you give this young man a chance to prove himself...... He crossed the ocean to Westeros, just because he stole a few potatoes to fill his stomach and had to serve in the Great Wall for the rest of his life, and finally got the opportunity to leave and was disturbed by us, even if he stayed, he would definitely not be willing to get anything. ”

That's right, Tyrion agreed loudly in his heart, and turned to look at Mormon, who had been silent for a while, waiting for his statement.

"Since you think so, I have no problem. Mormont respects Maester Aemon, "Ask Bunyanken if he refuses to let him go." ”

The decision was in Stark's hands again, and he didn't want to let the annoying Lannister in front of him get his wish, but he couldn't save Aemon's face, so he asked a question: "If he doesn't come back, who will take the responsibility?"

"Of course it's me. Not only that, but if he doesn't complete his mission or make a greater contribution to the legion after leaving the Wall, you can recall him directly, and if he escapes, it will be counted on my head, okay?"

"How can it be counted on your head, do you come to the Great Wall to serve him, or do you drive your army's army to the Great Wall to help?" Bunyan said coldly, "Either way, I'm afraid it's not realistic, instead of playing these imaginary things, it's better to be realistic, the Lannister family, as the richest man in Westeros, will give a grant to the Night's Watch army guarding the Seven Kingdoms, too little, I'm afraid I can't take it, right?"

"Hey, I thought all Starks were dung. Tyrion breathed a sigh of relief and gritted his teeth in some distress, knowing that he was afraid that he would be slaughtered today. It is a difficult choice for any man to save face or to lizi, and smart people are not exempt, and this time he decided to ask for the former: "Since it is to protect the human race, I will naturally not be stingy, and then, we will discuss the details of the funding, as well as the specific tasks after Egger leaves the Great Wall!"

***

Iger didn't look for a place to sit and wait for the results, but kept looking at the commander-in-chief's office not far away.

After Tyrion entered the door for a moment, the Commander-in-Chief's personal affairs officer left the room and quickly brought back the Chief Ranger and Maester Amon, and it was clear that things were progressing somehow.

This made him nervous, if I had to describe it, it felt like waiting for the baby to be born outside the delivery room - whether Tyrion succeeded in convincing the black-clad men to leave the Wall with his "mission" of collecting supplies would determine whether he could regain his life in this world.

No, obediently participate in the next patrol, even if you don't die and escape back, you just continue to be a night watch soldier on the front line of the war between people and ghosts, and you will be promoted and raised when you reach the sky, and slowly mix from ordinary rangers to squad leaders, and then impact the position of chief ranger, and finally see if you can compete for the commander-in-chief. It is hard to imagine how many dangers, how much youth and time are spent during this period. If he's not careful, he, the Night's Watchman, will really die.

And if he succeeds, he'll be able to follow Tyrion away, and Westeros' vast world, endless opportunities, and countless possibilities will be waiting to be explored and mastered. Although the lifelong label of the night watchman is a trouble, but the matter is man-made, as long as there is a heart, what difficulty cannot be overcome?

......

He waited patiently for a few more moments, and the Commander-in-Chief's personal affairs officer pushed the door open again and left the room, this time the chief affairs officer and the chief craftsman were called in. After a brief moment of confusion, Iger was quickly overjoyed: Stable! Powen Marcy and Otsell Yawick, who are high-ranking members of the Night's Watch, are actually not concerned with the affairs of the Legion outside of their duties, and they are called into the office, unless Tyrion suddenly becomes interested in the repair and maintenance of the Wall and the day-to-day management of the Legion, or they must be discussing the quantity and type of "material support", that is, the "ransom" they need to leave the Wall!

If nothing else, the results will soon be revealed, and it is a little inappropriate for me to stand here again. Iger thought for a moment, then turned back to the large conference room to find a seat and began to wait.

......

After a few dozen minutes, the wooden door creaked open, but it was not Tyrion who entered, but Bunyan Stark.

The chief ranger stood by the door expressionless for a few seconds, and then spoke: "Egger, you don't participate in the next patrol, the commander-in-chief has assigned you a more important task, you make preparations, and when the Lannisters have had enough of the Great Wall and leave, go with him." ”

"Ah, yes. Iger stood up, and although he had expected the outcome, he could barely suppress his ecstasy: "But I was supposed to lead the way for this patrol, and now I'm gone?"

***

What's there to pack?

Bunyan snorted softly in his heart, he was not stupid, the dwarf of the Lannister family suddenly took the initiative to find the commander-in-chief, not only expressed his willingness to provide assistance, but also named and asked Egger to go to King's Landing to be responsible for receiving the first batch, how could this kid in front of him, as a party, not know?

It must have been some kind of ecstasy soup he had poured into the dwarf or made some kind of deal with him to get him out of the Night's Watch...... This made Bunyan a little curious - although he didn't like the Lannisters, he had to admit that the dwarf was a smart man, how could such a character be persuaded to be willing to bleed for a stranger in a few words?

"When it comes to leading the way, Will will never be worse than you. Egger is a recognized brother of the Night's Watch, and although the man's face still retains the characteristic coldness of Stark, he does not look at the other party's imminent departure: "You are a smart man, and since you have found your way, I have no reason to stop you." Now, don't worry about others, you'll know about the new tasks given by the Commander-in-Chief right away, and find a way to complete them without compromise. ”

Because the two lions and wolves have never dealt with each other, Egger has been careful to avoid Bunyan in the matter of letting Tyrion take him away, and now it seems that most of them are also living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. The little secret was seen through, his face was slightly hot, and he didn't argue much, but nodded directly in agreement: "Obey!"

The chief ranger was satisfied with Egger's openness, didn't say anything more, took one last look at his subordinate, and turned to leave the hall.
