In the world of ice and fire, it is impossible to live without nobility? No one is a dragon Aotian, and when you enter this world, you have to play under the rules of this world. But Iger sees more clearly and essentially than ordinary people: the aristocratic system is only the surface rules of the game in Westeros, but there are deeper and more basic rules behind it: all problems are problems of resources and strength.

The emissary of the Iron Vault was just an ordinary clerk, but even Queen Cersei, who had eliminated all dissidents and was extremely arrogant in King's Landing, had to be polite when she saw it, because he had any title? No, because he represented Braavos across the Narrow Sea. Is it because of the support of the title and the Seven Gods? No, it is because there are both soldiers and popular support, and the opponent also has pig teammates to assist. After Littlefinger was awarded Harrenhal, he instantly became one of the highest nobles in Westeros, but if it weren't for the fact that he had already hooked up with the mistress of Arrynval, he would be a fart?

At the end of the day, nobility is a tool for the upper echelons of Westeros to control resources, not a reason for them - there are people who control resources first, and then nobles.

If you understand the cause and effect relationship, it will be clear what to do. As long as he has the resources, even if he has been labeled as a night watchman all his life, even if his social status in law is lower than that of a mere knight, he can still turn his hands into clouds and his hands into rain.

Convinced of this concept, Iger made the plan.

......

His original plan was to use the Ponzi scheme to carry out primitive accumulation first, use logistics supplies and the people he "recruited" and planted in the defenders of the desperate Great Wall to fatten the Night's Watch legion, and boiled frogs in warm water to make the Night's Watch legion dependent on him, so as to slowly kidnap this armed force independent of the major forces materially and spiritually, and ensure his own safety and freedom first.

Then, use the capital you have and your advanced knowledge to build a huge community of interests in Westeros - when the time is right, you can carefully use your energy and resources, participate in the game of thrones, find a way to dismiss yourself as a night watchman, and start exploring the possibility of anti-time-travel.

Egger had laid out his plans and was ready to use his wisdom and knowledge to have endless fun with others, but before it had even begun, Melisandre popped up...... Quietly unveiled a corner of the curtain of this world stage to him, allowing him to see the grander and more terrifying truth beneath the chaotic surface.

More than a month ago, Iger suspected that the important plot could not be changed because of Bran's fall from the building. However, the fact that Tyrion returned to King's Landing refuted the previous assertion...... It is precisely because of the judgment that there is no "fate" or any other "existence in the dark" in this world that Iger will be bold and make his mind believe in it, and in a short period of time he will make a huge plan, ready to do a big job in this world and rewrite everything.

But now, the Red Witch's words are a slap in the face: supernatural powers do exist, and they are influencing the human world! Tyrion was able to return to King's Landing, but the "gods" just didn't have the time to get along with him!

Egger's current feeling is like hiding in the room when he was a child, and he was about to play a game and watch a movie for a while, but when he looked up, he found a camera on the ceiling, and most of his excitement was instantly extinguished - being stared at by a father-level existence all the time, who can get up?

......

Melisandre saw that Egg was silent for a long time, thinking that he was frightened by what he had said, and that he was disdainful in his heart, and that the tough guy of the Night's Watch, the Alien Slayer, trembled in the face of transcendent power.

"Is there anything else to ask. She didn't show contempt, fear of supernatural power was human nature after all, and she had experienced this shock herself: "So, for the sake of my sincerity, can I also ask a few questions?"

The plan had to change, not only did he have to keep his head out of the sight of the nobles of Westeros, but he also had to keep a low profile in the eyes of the "demigods" and "true gods", if that was the case...... At least half of the pieces of paper on which I wrote down my plan could be burned directly: "Ask, I know everything too." ”

＊＊＊

For the next half hour, Egg continued to question and answer Melisandre in a trance, much to his relief, that all the questions they asked were related to the Outer Wall and the Great Wall...... This meant that Melisandre didn't have any doubts about his identity as an ordinary Night's Watch Ranger, and on that basis, he only had to tell the truth, and didn't have to bother making up anything to avoid revealing the flaws.

By the time this exchange was over, the Red God's face was already full of solemnity, and Iger had taken advantage of this short period of time to try to overcome the panic.

Coming to his senses late, but better than being absent, Iger relieved himself and gradually came to his senses: conspiracy theories can explain everything, but to explain everything with conspiracy theories is to scare himself. I fooled a bunch of plot characters with a bunch of half-truths and half-truths, and who can guarantee that Melisandre's words are not also half-truths and half-truths?

Not to mention, Melisandre is a believer in the Red God, brainwashed by the Lord of Light, even if she tells the truth, it does not mean that it is the truth, just like the Green Prophet wants to forge the belief of an old god, who can guarantee that the Red God really exists? Who can guarantee that Melisandre is not another version of Jiujian Reed, deceived by the god in her heart?

Maybe many of the stories in the original plot were indeed arranged or facilitated by those transcendent beings, but if you know this, you think all day long, "Does this person represent the interests of a certain god?" and "Does this plot have a certain god want it to happen?"

Even if there is a group of people who are quietly influencing the real world on a subconscious level, but if there is no way to identify the individuals affected by them, and there is no way to judge what the gods want to happen, then how different is there between these gods and non-existence?

Ignore these transcendent beings, and the plan will remain the same! just need to make some fine-tuning to make yourself more low-key.

Egger's mind was clear, and the plan was soon devotive: now, he was afraid that he would have to pretend not only to be a loyal night watchman when he met outsiders, but also to make a show when no one was around. Rather than acting recklessly for one's own selfish interests, it is not necessarily beneficial to take a clear stance against the forces to which the aliens belong, but at least it will ensure the "gods" and his servants on the side of the Lord of Light...... Won't deal with yourself for no reason.

As a mortal, he is so weak that he is not even qualified to be a wall grass...... It's a hassle.

"The cold god moved faster than expected. Melisandre didn't know what Egg was thinking on the other side, and she had her own troubles: "Luckily, the Lord of Light told me in the fire that the Great Wall could hold back the power of the god of cold and stop his servants. There is still a lot to do before winter freezes over. She looked up at the Night's Watch and shook off her superfluous expression and became serious, "So, friend in black, is there anything I can do to help the Night's Watch." ”

Iger looked back at the other party, after being called a heretic and a series of things happened, everything finally got back on track, at least Melisandre wouldn't be a cheat in her hope of helping the Night's Watch, but unfortunately, if she wanted food, grass and weapons, Dragonstone Island couldn't get it, and there were few people around Melisandre herself, unless the witch was willing to immediately leave Stannis, who she had misjudged as the rebirth of Atholl Ahai, to go north to the Great Wall...... Otherwise, I am afraid it really won't help much.

Looking at the solemn face of the witch, another great question slowly rose in the minds of the night watch: is the struggle between the gods a life-and-death battle for survival, or a battle between you and me? In other words—are sacrifices like the Wraiths, the Night's Watch, and even Melisandre soldiers and weapons in the service of themselves in the eyes of the more transcendent beings, or pawns in a game game in their leisure time with their own kind?

If this can be clarified, the next changes to the plan can be more clearly and targeted.

Unfortunately, a little thought on your toes shows that even if Melisandre is a believer in the Lord of Light, she would never know the secrets of this level.

"The Great Wall lacks everything, but what is most lacking at the moment is people and food and equipment, and I was sent here for these. Egg sighed and shook his head, "But I don't think Dragonstone looks much better than the Night's Watch - if you really want to help, take care of the obsidian mining." ”

"No problem. ”

Wait, when it came to the obsidian mine, Egger remembered a very important matter, how could he ignore this: "I almost forgot to ask, do you know what the principle of the dragon crystal dagger is to kill the strange ghost? ”
