Robert had not yet returned to King's Landing, but his decree had been brought back to the capital of the Seven Kingdoms by his men. Just as Iger had been appointed as the night watchman of the army two months earlier—the king could forget what he had said and what he had ordered, but those who heard it, those who were responsible for issuing the order, and especially those who received it, must not leave it behind.

Robert's decision on the handling of the Fire Warlock Guild has been sent down to these "wise men" of the Alchemist Guild through various channels.

Two old men walked into the house, one was Dark, a pyromancer whom Iger knew, and the other was an older man who was already trembling when he walked.

"Good afternoon, two wise men. Egg put away his worries and smiled brightly: "If you don't come to look for me, I'm almost going to visit, please take a seat." ”

"Humph!" the older pyromancer pulled over his chair and sat down with an uneven expression.

"Lord Egger, this ...... It's a Harlem wise man, and it's my senior brother. Darker was not so grumpy, and An An sat down, politely introduced the identity of his companion to the night watchman, and then said no more.

"The Chief Logistics Officer has a lot of skills. The Harlem Sage's lips trembled, and he spat angrily: "Our Alchemist Guild has now been reduced to this desolate appearance, you are not miserable enough to get us to the Great Wall of Desperation?"

"The wise men met and discussed, and reached an agreement - going to the Great Wall, absolutely not, anyway, an old bone, it's a big deal to be beheaded......" Duck is considered to have a relationship with Egger, and he is not so impatient when he speaks: "I said, Lord Egger, you want wildfire, there are so many in the cellar, you can use it for free, why bother to stab this matter to Your Majesty, and you can't get along with us old men?"

......

It turned out that this was the case, and Egger was wondering why the two old men were so aggressive, and he was immediately relieved: "Two wise men, where does this start, when did I-when I said that I was going to get you to the Great Wall of Desperation?"

"Don't play stupid! Today, King Robert's men have sent an order asking us to seal up the wildfire as soon as possible, leave our assistants to manage it, and all the people who can make wildfires will go north to work for the night watch. The little white face who came to deliver the message all said-let's ask you specifically, it's all up to you to arrange.-You dare to say that this is not your ghost?!"

"Well, that's what the hell I did. Iger paused and waved his hand: "Wait, how do you call it a ghost." I did ask His Majesty the King for the assistance of the Alchemists' Guild...... But—who said that to serve the Night's Watch is to go to the Wall? I don't want to kill a few wise men, but I want you to regain your dignity, respect, and the opportunity to contribute to Westeros with the knowledge and abilities you have learned!"

Harlem glared: "Don't play tricks! The messenger sent by King Robert said, let us listen to you, once we leave this King's Landing, then we will live and die in your hands?

＊＊＊

Egg smiled, it was time to start, "Nina, bring me the map of the North." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

The little girl diligently ran to the cabinet by the wall to rummage, and looked at her hard back, and Iger sighed secretly. Such a girl, it is really useless to stay by her side as a secretary, but she can't find a suitable person who can change it when she is easy to use - in the current Westeros, where to find Thedo Bingxue's smart and diligent beautiful girl? Arya is barely qualified except that she is too young and naughty, and Margaery has a mind far beyond the standard, but these noble ladies are willing, patient, and the family asks them to run to the Night's Watch office to help people?

Just as she was thinking about it, Nina took what he wanted: "My lord, do you want to open it?" ”

"Well, open. ”

The clutter on the table was dusted aside, and the A2-sized map of the North was spread out, the rolled-up edges pressed with weights. The entire North, including the Great Wall, is displayed on the desk of the Night's Watch office.

......

"Two wise men, what I am going to say next, please go back and convey it to the other wise men. Iger said, pointing to the edge of the map and following the dotted line: "Regardless of the outside world, this is the northernmost point of the Seven Kingdoms, the Great Wall of Desperation." The three strongholds of the Night's Watch, nineteen castles, and nearly a thousand soldiers were all distributed along this line. It is an irrefutable fact that most of our belongings are concentrated on the Wall, and it is understandable that the two wise men were going to serve the Night's Watch and thought they were going to the Wall, but it was not my plan. ”

Knowing that they were not going to the Great Wall, the mood of the two old men stabilized a lot, and the Harlem wise man obviously did not tremble his body and his lips trembled. This old slippery head, whose qualifications among the pyromancers were obviously higher than Dark, whom Iger had known for a long time, opened his mouth and asked, "Then where are we going and what are we doing, please tell me the Chief Logistics Officer to make it clear!"

"From the Great Wall of Desperation to the south, from the mountains on the west coast to the rolling plains along the coast of Seal Bay, is an area called the Land Grant, which spans hundreds of miles. The rulers of the North and the Iron Throne have permanently beowed the land to the Night's Watch legion in support of the Great Wall's defenses. Iger made a comparison on the map and pointed out the place: "The land itself, including the crops on the ground and the resources buried underneath, belonged to the Night's Watch, and the inhabitants of it paid taxes to the Night's Watch in the form of goods or labour to help us sustain ourselves. ”

"Your Excellency, these are well-known things. Haring knocked on the table to interrupt him, "I understand what you mean, serving the night watchman does not necessarily mean going to the Great Wall, but only going to the land grant, but what difference does it make? The land grant is a desolate land that is so cold that it is impossible to see people for a day on horseback, and from time to time there are wild men running around burning, killing and looting! A group of old men of fifty or sixty years old can live for a few days?"

Egger sat up straight: "The difference is great, it is true that the land grant is vast and sparsely populated, but this is mainly caused by the harassment of the savages. The climate and environment of the land grant itself is much better than that outside the fortress, the Great Wall blocks the cold wind of the land of eternal winter, which makes the temperature on the south side of the wall much warmer than that in the north of the wall, although it occasionally snows, but it does not freeze to death. ”

It is naturally nonsense that the two-hundred-meter-high wall can block the cold air, but it is a fact that the land is warmer than the outside, and anyway, the firemancers don't understand geography and meteorology, so they just fool around: "There are mountains, water, and fertile soil, and you can grow crops and graze, not to mention people." What I want the wise men to do is to find a place to settle down in the land grants, and provide the Night's Watch legion with a steady stream of wildfire to defend against the attacks of the wildlings, and the Night's Watch will deliberately freeze the old men or watch you hacked to death by the wildlings?"

"Looking for a place to settle down? I'm an old man who hasn't even been to the north, how can I find a place?" Haring's eyes narrowed: "Don't go around and around selling Guanzi! Hurry up and talk about your arrangement, or give us a bunch of old bones proper settlement and treatment, we won't go anywhere!"

"Okay!" Iger didn't want to talk nonsense with the two old men, he must be tough if he had money in his pocket, he pointed with his hand: "The place I chose for the wise men of the Alchemist Guild is Houguan Town." ”

"Queen's ......Crown?" What kind of place is this, it seems to be very good to look at the place name, but I haven't heard of it at all.

"This is a place in the central heart of the Night's Watch Territory, not far from King's Road. "Queen Alysanne Targaryen slept in the tower here, so the inhabitants painted the walls at the top of the tower gold to look like they were wearing a crown, hence the name. ”

"How many people live in this place, is it fully equipped, is there a house with food, drink and insulation?"

"Due to the harassment of the wild people, the inhabitants of this place have run away, leaving only empty houses and an uninhabited village. Iger explained, but then added, "But I'm going to rebuild this place!" I'm going to send someone north first, recruit stonemasons and other construction workers in the north, renovate the towers of the houses here, build a wall, and make this the first stronghold of the Night's Watch logistics department, so that it can provide both warm and safe shelter and a place to make wildfires, and then let the wise men of the Alchemists' Guild be the first to enter." For the foreseeable long future, Crown will be the only wildfire producer in Westeros, and the world. This weapon, which was ignored and despised by King Robert and the people of the South, will shine again in the defense of the Great Wall in the north of the North after countless years, and the wise men of the Alchemists' Guild will regain their dignity and reuse in the North far from King's Landing!"
