Iger is indeed, but not. Martin once said that the world in which Westeros is located is a planet, which is spherical in shape, slightly larger than Earth, and has a larger land area...... This statement is confirmed by the first-hand experience of the traverser. Judging from the air pressure and gravity felt by the body, the planetary environment in which the Ice and Fire World is located is very similar to the Earth, if the original author's setting does take effect in this world, that is, "the land area of the Ice and Fire World is larger than that of the Earth", then in the ocean to the west of Westeros, there may really be land or larger islands.

No one will believe the identity of the traverser, and knowing the plot and understanding of the important characters is his biggest reliance...... These two secrets cannot be shared to others, and the vast "sunset sea" on the west coast of Westeros, which most of the native inhabitants do not know, is an excellent choice for his own fictional origin.

I have to add that the statement that he is from the other side of the ocean is not played by Egger on the spot, he uses this set of rhetoric when introducing himself to the Night Watch brothers, and its biggest advantage is that no one can debunk it, and when you want to add some settings to yourself in the future, you can use customs and cultural differences as an excuse to add whatever comes to mind.

As for the round-the-world trip, it was really Egger's idea at the dinner party when he was eating and drinking. However, although it is improvised, it is also not a fabrication - the source of inspiration does not need to be explained, and the purpose of telling this story is quite clear: to impress the core member of the Lannister family in front of him by doing what he likes and prescribing the right medicine, and try to find a breakthrough from him and break away from the Night's Watch.

How many people in heaven and earth could be more interesting to a disabled dwarf with big dreams and a desire to learn about the world than an adventurous explorer from across the ocean?

More than a year after the time travel, Iger has learned that in this world, birth is one of the most important factors in determining the attitude of others, and a little elevation of one's own identity is an important plus in interacting with others. And using the hint of "no intention to leak your mouth" to make others involuntarily have the illusion that you are "rich and free" is much more credible than directly declaring that you are from the upper class.

This disguise can not only partially eliminate the sense of distance caused by the difference in their identities and lay a more egalitarian basis for the subsequent interaction between the two, but also provide a reasonable explanation for the Asian face that is different from others and the amount of knowledge and quality of education that is obviously far beyond that of those around them.

Iger has never been a liar, braggadocio, or pretend, but if it's for the safety of his life, he hasn't lived enough...... Even if you deceive everyone in the world, you don't hesitate to do so.

Someone who wants to escape from the Blackshirts racks his brains to wrap himself, but the bastard who wants to join has already quickly put together a broken sword and keenly sees what the problem is.

"This sword is broken strangely. Jon Snow looked at the broken sword that had been largely restored to its original state, and noticed the anomaly, but he didn't have enough words to describe it: "A weapon forged from steel, if it were to be broken, would not look like this." ”

"That's right, usually, the fracture will have a noticeable deformation. Iger took over and said what he wanted to say for the boy. He has finished talking about the message that should be conveyed, and there are some topics that cannot be opened by himself. "The fracture is where the blade of the sword collides with the Alien weapon, and under the effect of ice magic, the steel loses its strength and becomes more brittle than cast iron, and it cannot withstand the impact in the impact, and it breaks into two. ”

Jon stared at the two swords he had built on the table, and finally understood why Uncle Bunyan had said those words.

"It's a farce!" Tyrion was not interested in the broken sword on the table, he didn't know and didn't want to know what a broken steel sword would look like under normal circumstances, he cared more about the fabled New World. Although he didn't fully believe Egger's words, he instinctively felt that the other party's explanation of his origin was true, and subconsciously hugged him upright: "You come from a continent unknown to us, and you should have been the most important guest of Westeros for thousands of years, but you were captured by a group of northerners to see the Great Wall before you went ashore!?

"I'm not reconciled, but what can I do?"

"I'll find a way to get you out. ”

Big brother, you're too face-saving. Egger's breath was choked and he almost choked on his own saliva, which was exactly the result he wanted, but it was too easy and too fast, was it that he had enough of the sin to be transferred?

"Uh...... Thank you for your kindness, but is there an example in the history of Westeros where you became a night watchman and then returned to a normal person? ”

"As far as I know, no. The dwarf shrugged: "After taking the oath, you will either be a night watchman for life, or you will become a night watch deserter, there is no third way." But I said to help you leave, and I didn't say to help you take off your black clothes......"

"Is this any different?"

"Let me tell you a story about a nobleman who was on the wrong side in a political struggle and had no choice but to join the Night's Watch after losing power. A few years later, the people he supported took the opportunity to ascend to the throne again. Then, in the name of collecting food and grass for his black-clad brothers, the night watchman returned to his fort, and lived like an ordinary nobleman, eating, drinking, and working as a woman, and did not return to the Wall until he died. ”

"What are you guys discussing. Jon had just been concentrating on breaking the sword, and had only heard the first half of the story of the Traveler, "The Night's Watch who doesn't guard the Wall, can you just find an excuse to dismiss the law and the oath as nothing!"

"Of course, it's not that simple, as soon as the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch publicly declares him a deserter, he will immediately be ...... by the lords and nobles of the entire continent Whether it is a vassal or a feudal lord of his family, he is automatically pulled into the wanted list. The dwarf was a little proud: "The reason why this person has been able to stay at large is that the Night's Watch Legion has always recognized his status as a 'grain and grass collector', and he has indeed continued to 'raise' grain and grass for the legion, as both sides announced. ”

......

"I understand that if the political enemies who forced him to join the Night's Watch are defeated, and the benefits he can bring to the defenders of the Wall are greater than staying on the Wall, the top brass of the Blackshirts will not risk offending the king by forcibly recalling him or declaring him a deserter!" Egg suddenly realized, he hadn't thought of this method, but when he looked back and pondered it, he soon found the key to it: "I'm afraid that the nobles mentioned by the adults are not the food and grass they raised at all." ”

"Of course, there are two major problems that this solution solves. The first is to be thick-skinned, and the second is to keep getting supplies that will satisfy the appetite of the Night's Watch...... to get the defenders of the Great Wall to officially admit that he was not a deserter. Tyrion continued, "The most fundamental reason is the strong family background. What would the Night's Watch choose between enough food and grass to feed hundreds of soldiers and a soldier who had no intention of doing so?"

The traverser touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Egger, who is thick-skinned and has faced strange spirits, thinks that he is not a problem at all, but the latter ...... I can really be regarded as having nothing in this world, my net worth is barely negative, and even a random maid in Winterfell is richer than me, how can I afford a high "ransom"?

There was someone in front of me who could afford that price - the guardian of the West, the Duke of Castle Rock, Tywin Lannister, the son of "the richest man in Westeros", and if he was willing to help, it would be fine. But today is only the first time the two have met, how can they ask for such help?

......

"Why haven't I heard of this man?" Jon came to his senses, "and the Night's Watch is an organization independent of the Seven Kingdoms, and even the King has no power to interfere in its internal affairs. ”

"You haven't heard of this story, partly because he wasn't born in the North, and secondly because he and the Night's Watch legion got together and got out of the way, and he didn't have a quarrel and wasn't an important player in his own right. Tyrion snorted, "As for the king's right to interfere in the internal affairs of the Night's Watch, you are still too young, and when you grow up, you will understand that if you are strong enough, you can interfere in whatever you want." ”

Jon was speechless for a while, trying to refute, but he couldn't find any arguments, and he knew that what the other party said was right, so he could only blush and say nothing.

"I can clear the initial series of problems for you and help you get the first ransom. The dwarf didn't say much to the young man, but looked at Egger, "But you have to figure it out for yourself in the future, and besides, I have one condition, you have to tell me more about the advanced technology and the customs there." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Either way, Egger's joy at the moment was visceral - although everything was going well and it was unreal, he had made the right bet after all.

"But he was the sworn night watchman. Jon on the side also forgot about the broken sword on the table for a while, and muttered, "How can you ......?"

"So, kid, is it reasonable that this explorer from the other side of the Sunset Sea, probably the first Picker to set foot on Westeros land, was forced to see the Great Wall for the rest of his life just because he was shipwrecked and took a few potatoes to survive?" Tyrion smiled and interrupted the boy, "You know, he's not an illegitimate child, and he's not going nowhere." ”

"In my hometown, it is illegal to force someone to swear, and the oath is invalid. "Westeros doesn't seem to be the custom, but I've been in the service of those potatoes for a year, and I've even risked my life to kill a wraith. I don't owe you anything anymore...... I have relatives waiting for me at home, and I can't and shouldn't stay here forever. ”

Jon sighed, "Well, whatever you want, I'll assume I didn't hear what you discussed." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but we're not talking about how to be deserters. Tyrion shrugged, "Even if you tell your father about our conversation, or the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, they won't be able to do anything about it, it's a conspiracy, you'll understand when you grow up." ”

Being treated like a child made Jon look a little puffed up, and he looked at the broken sword on the table with a serious expression, and suddenly said, "I've decided, go join the Night's Watch." ”

"It's best to calm down before making an important decision. Tyrion looked up at the bastard again, "However, I do understand your thoughts - the wildlings are gathered under the command of the king of the outside world, the strange spirits with ice magic loom in the forest, and everyone else is thinking of staying away from the dangerous place, and at this time, the only way to make a career and gain fame and glory is to take the initiative to go into danger." ”

"I'm not here for fame and glory!" I'm just ......," the boy looked at the two strange broken swords on the table, and suddenly straightened his waist, "I just want to protect my family, and the millions of inhabitants of the North, from the terror threat from the Far North." ”

"Yes, it's touching. Tyrion nodded, didn't joke with the bastard anymore, but glanced at Egger: "It just so happens that I have also decided to visit the Great Wall, the first of the nine man-made wonders, it would be a pity not to see it with my own eyes, and by the way, I can also confirm the truth of what my new friend from Caina said." When the time comes, we may be together. ”
