"Fear. "The greatest fortifications and standing armies must be used against the most terrifying enemies." It was fear that allowed the ancestors of thousands of years ago to build such a high wall and raise and feed an army of more than 10,000 people, who did not produce or accept mobilization. There is no other reasonable explanation. ”

"Well, you have a point. "Forgive my little insistence, I'll never believe in any legendary goblins until I've seen them with my own eyes." ”

"Don't believe it's your power. Egger spread his hands, anyway, it wasn't his goal to convince the other party that the stranger existed: "Actually, I didn't believe much until I fought a stranger with my own hands and watched it shatter the steel sword in my hand with its ice sword like breaking glass. ”

"Just now I thought you were the bookkeeper of the Night's Watch Legion, why did you run out and fight the stranger again in the blink of an eye?" The dwarf showed a curious expression, "Are you an officer or a ranger?"

"Ranger, well......" Egg looked at Jon, "young man, wonder why your uncle didn't support you joining the Night's Watch, come with me to see the wraith's crushed steel sword." You'll soon understand that your vaunted swordsmanship and skill are vulnerable to that kind of enemy. ”

The bastard didn't hesitate to keep up with Egger, while Tyrion hesitated a little and followed on two short legs. This relieved the time-traveler: he was nominally trying to show Jon something, but in reality he was trying to find a way to get closer to Tyrion in order to bring up something he wanted to talk about.

The Lannisters and the bastard followed Iger to the room that Bunyan Stark had arranged for him. The Night's Watch retrieved the evidence he had brought from the Wall to show Eddard Stark for assistance, and placed it on a small wooden table in the room for the two guests to see.

"Weima Royce's one was even more shattered, but it was left to your father by Lord Bunyan to be passed on to the family of the victims, the Earl of Runestone. Egg introduced as he laid out the broken sword, "The two in front of me are the swords of me and my comrade-in-arms Gary. ”

Tyry raised an eyebrow, "I've heard the version that Weimar Royce disappeared on patrol and is confirmed dead?"

"I watched him fight the wraiths and be killed. Egg lied, he actually just heard, but Weimar Royce was indeed dead anyway, and the two in front of him would never be able to debunk him: "I and another Ranger would have died, but the Dragon Crystal Dagger saved our lives." It's that black thing, no, I made it myself...... If you are interested, you can put these two swords together and take a look, the steel sword that has been frozen by ice magic is not something that everyone has the opportunity to see. ”

Jon was a young man, and he couldn't help but start using his hands when he heard his words, and Tyrion ...... the weapon Still the broken weapon did not catch a cold, and walked around the room with his hands behind his back, but did not find the jug or glass, so he had to walk back to the traverser and look up at him.

"Your name is Egger, what is Egger?"

The traverser was overjoyed and was worried that he would not have a chance to continue his performance, so the dwarf gave him a step.

"I'm not called Egger, Egger is just a name given to me by a couple of Westeros farmers, and I don't even know what it means. The traverser made a wry smile, "I don't have your usual surname, where I come from, the way I name people is a little different from yours......"

"I'll just say you're a little different, you're not from Westeros. Where are you from, Essos or the Summer Isles? It can't be Thothros, right?"

"No, I'm from what you say...... To the west of the Sunset Sea is a continent called Caina, which means the land of Middle-earth, because my people have for thousands of years believed that the place we live in is the center of the world, and that there is no land except islands in the boundless sea. ”

＊＊＊

"Caina?" Tyrion had just drunk enough and had nothing to do, so he didn't have anything to say before asking about the origin and identity of the night watchman in front of him, who knew that he got an unexpected answer, and suddenly became interested: "I've never heard of this place, why did you come to Westeros to be a night watchman?"

"That's a long story. Iger didn't expect everything to go so smoothly, and he managed to attract the attention of the other party in just a few words. But then, he had to try to grasp the results: "Our academic community, after a series of astronomical observations, calculations, and conjectures, came to the conclusion that the world is a sphere, and if you send a ship out to sea and sail in one direction, you will return to the place of departure after circumnavigating the world." In order to test this theory, the rulers of Caina decided to send a fleet of ships out to sea for a super-ocean-going voyage, and we built several sturdy ocean-going ships out of steel to sail in four directions: east, west, north, south......"

"How is it possible to build a ship out of steel? ”

"If you put an iron bowl in the water, it will sink, and the same is true for a ship made of steel, it is its displacement that determines the ship's float and sink, not the material. The technology of mining is much more advanced than that of Westeros, and I can go into more detail when I have the opportunity in the future. ”

"Iron Bowl...... Displacement. Tyrion was a clever man, and with a slight turn of his mind figured it out, but soon a new question arose: "But how do you make an iron bowl that can carry a man? If there is a leak in one place, it will sink faster than stone." ”

"We use a process called 'welding' where the joints between the steel plates are melted so that they become one...... I'm not an expert on the details, so I can't explain them in detail. ”

"Sounds amazing, continue your story. The dwarf pondered the scene of the steel plates joining together to become a ship, and for the first time felt that his imagination was so lacking, he stopped talking and motioned for Iger to continue.

......

"As a well-known adventurer, I certainly couldn't have missed such an interesting expedition. After a large financial sponsorship of the project, I was given a cabin and arrived in Westeros after a months-long voyage with the eastbound fleet departing from Zena. ”

"I haven't heard of any foreigners landing from the Sunset Sea, your ship. ”

"Sunk, we discovered the presence of land, and were caught in a storm while looking for a place to land. Originally, our steel ocean-going ships were designed to withstand storms, but the waves threw the ship onto a reef...... As you have just suspected, the steel ship, though sturdy, sinks faster than anything else in the event of an accident, and I was fortunate not to be brought to the bottom of the sea because I was on deck admiring the waves, and after a few days ashore holding on to the float. ”

"And then. Tyrion urged, "Could it be that the people of the North have gone crazy enough to grab people and send them to the Great Wall?"

"I was floating on the sea for a few days, I was starving to death, and the first thing I did when I went ashore was, of course, looking for food, but unfortunately I finally found a place to live along the road, but because of the language barrier, I couldn't communicate, and the villagers couldn't understand my words and refused to help...... The living can't let their urine suffocate to death, so I decided to take it myself. Egg sighed, "Obviously, I'm not good at this, I was caught before I could fill my stomach, and my judge made me choose between cutting off one of my hands and putting on a black coat, so I became a night watchman." ”

"Uh......" Tyrion's eyes widened, "You, probably the first Zenar in history, were captured by the Night's Watch?"

"So to speak. ”

"It's the most story I've heard this year. The dwarf had a strange expression, "If I had to choose, I would prefer to believe that strange ghosts do exist." ”
