Before the crossing, Iger followed such a principle in his work: he did not slack off in his own work, but he did not take the initiative to do it if he did not do his own work, and he did not accept any arrangements that occupied rest and entertainment time, including but not limited to overtime—for no other reason, good family conditions, broad horizons, and broad social travel allowed him to have far more than ordinary people to obtain information and income sources.

He works just so that he is not too idle and will not become an otaku, and he is not going for the salary at all. Who has the heart to engage in office battles with their colleagues, or to make a hard-working appearance to win the favor of their boss?

But now, things are different, and Egger's commander among the Night's Watch doesn't pay him, but he can decide whether he lives or dies. If you provoke them, you can only recall yourself to the Great Wall and send them to patrol outside the fortress, or even directly declare yourself a deserter, even if you survive, you will have to lose your skin.

Forced by this invisible sense of crisis, Iger decided to get to work immediately, despite his physical and mental exhaustion.

Tyrion had already announced that he was going to rest, and Egger was naturally a little more precious to this fateful nobleman and benefactor, and he decided to skip the first thing and get the crucial step done for the follow-up - to meet the only northerner in the Imperial Council and ask him for something that Tyrion would never give him.

"Tuk tuk. Iger knocked on the door of the next room.

Yuren opened the door, not accustomed to the heat of King's Landing, he had already showered in the inn's bathhouse when Aigre planned it, and was wearing only a pair of pants at the moment: "What's the matter?"

"I'm going to see the Prime Minister now, do you want to come with me?"

"Now, don't you take a break. ”

Yu Lun came out but took the business trip funds, but all the food and accommodation expenses along the way were covered by the little man of the Lannister family, and now the money in his hand has not been touched, and he will suffer if he goes back early without finishing, he is not in a hurry.

"There is no better time for a Prime Minister surnamed Stark to run the kingdom, than for us at the Night's Watch. I have a lot of work to do, and I don't dare to delay it for half a day, if you don't want to come with me, then you will have to go to him alone in a few days, although Duke Ed values the night watchman, but I am afraid it is not good to cause him trouble like this. ”

"Alas...... Okay, let's go. Although Yu Lun is old, his body is still quite strong, and the journey south cannot exhaust him: "Wait for me to put on a dress." ”

......

The difference in temperature between King's Landing and the Great Wall is fifty or sixty degrees, forming two extremes of zero and below. The so-called wearing a piece of clothing is actually just putting a coarse black coat on the head and wearing a pair of pants of the same color. That alone was enough to make the two night watchmen sweat profusely.

Pulling out the unsaddled horses from the stable, they began to march in the direction of the Red Fort.

The road is easy to find, and you don't even need to ask—the high hills of Aegon where the royal fortress is located are located in the southeast corner of King's Landing, much higher than any other place in King's Landing, including the Visennian Hills and Rhaenys Hills.

Aegon the Conqueror was very good at picking places, and the Red Keep was indeed like a ruler's residence.

After walking for a while, Iger slowed down.

"What's wrong?"

"Before we go to the Prime Minister, we should take care of ourselves. ”

Yu Lun shook his head and said in the same tone as someone who had come to educate the younger generation: "Believe me, Egger, the Prime Minister will not give us a few more people or a few carts of supplies just because we have taken care of it." ”

Eddard Stark may not care about meeting his Night Watch image, but the Red Keep and the citizens and nobles along King's Landing do. Despite the planned neglect of the task of "improving the image of the Night's Watch", Iger couldn't stand it with such a dirty colleague by his side.

What about how important first impressions are and how huge the long-term impact of improving the overall image of the Night Watch is ...... Unable to explain it to a rough man like Yolun, Iger chose a more straightforward and effective statement.

"Don't you feel hot with such a big beard and a greasy coarse black coat?"

"Uh...... I've been over for so many years, and I'm used to it. ”

"Don't worry, I'll pay for it. ”

＊＊＊

The bag Rober gave to Egger contained a golden dragon and ninety silver deer—the value of one silver deer was close to that of a red-haired grandfather from Egger's pre-travel world, and one golden dragon could be exchanged for two hundred and ten silver deer......

This means that Iger now has more than 20,000 yuan in his hands, which is a considerable fortune in a world of extremely low productivity. It's naturally not good to be lavish, but it's enough for more than ten months for daily consumption.

The Night's Watch didn't have any source of income for the time being, so despite having plenty of money, Egger deliberately stayed away from the wealthy area before starting to find the shop he needed.

He first took Yulun into a barber shop, and asked the shopkeeper to cut his and Youlun's hair short, shaved his beard, and wash his hair, so that his image was refreshing and neat.

After paying a silver deer and receiving a few copper coins for change, Iger quickly walked into a clothing store.

"Two sets of lightweight, breathable black kaftan shirts. He said, "Pure black is the best, but it can't be decorated with any bright colors that are too conspicuous." ”

"Pure black?" The shopkeeper immediately had a sad expression of empathy on his face: "I'm sorry, I don't know who in the two families died?"

"No one died, we were the night watchmen. ”

"Night's watchman?"

"What, are you still picking customers?" Egg frowned impatiently and patted his pocket, "We'll pay!"

"No, no...... I didn't mean anything else, but it was the first time to receive a buyer from the Great Wall of Desperation, which was a bit rare. The owner of the clothing store remembered to be kind and wealthy, and his face quickly changed to a courteous smile after a moment of stunnedness: "Please wait a moment, I'll try to find it." ”

Iger waited a moment, but he kept his patience.

One of Egger's long-term goals was to get rid of the Night's Watch, and he swore that no one in the world would want to wear clothes of any other color more than he did...... But when he first arrived, his foundation was unstable, and he didn't want to give anyone a grip.

Not to mention, he's now on his way to meet Eddard Stark, a brainless northerner. And the best disguise to deal with this kind of character is undoubtedly a loyal Night's Watch warrior who is dedicated to the Legion.

After a long effort, the boss finally found two robes that were close to pure black from the corner, and after sewing and covering the obvious white stripes on them at the request of Egger, they sold the deal for the price of two silver deer each. Not only that, but Iger also ordered a few other clothes in pure black for a change of clothes.

When he was at the Wall, he was limited by conditions, and after leaving Castle Black, he would never want to endure a single piece of clothing for months again.

Dressed in new clothes and new looks, the two refreshed-looking night watchmen remounted. Looking at Yuren, who seemed to have been reborn, Egg smiled helplessly: the task of improving his image, which he had directly removed from his schedule, had become the first thing he really started to do.

......

Riding horses to the entrance of the Red Fort, they were able to enter the gate of the Red Keep and were guided to the Prime Minister's Tower after some explanation and waiting for a briefing from the golden-robed men guarding the gate.

Beyond that, it was all guards from Winterfell, who knew and respected the Night's Watch without hindrance, and the two soon met the new Prime Minister, Eddard Stark, whom Egg had only met two months earlier.
