The setting sun cast a large orange-red glow on the brick and stone floors of King's Landing, and Egger, Tyrion, Arya, and the two red robes and gray robes of the two lion and wolf guards each wore left the workshop, laughing and leading their horses on the way back to the inn.

After more than a month of getting along, these people from all over the world who might not have known each other have become familiar at all, even Tyrion's two attendants can nod their heads in a friendly way when they see the Stark "nanny" who specializes in transporting Arya to and from school, and then make small talk with each other.

......

Egger looked relaxed, he had been in King's Landing for more than a month, and under Tyrion's full pimping, the total number of Night's Watch bonds had been sold for nearly two thousand. Since it does not have the astonishing rate of return as a normal Ponzi scheme, the propagation effect of solicitation is slow. Add to that the fact that Westeros has not had the concept of "investing" for a long time – so far, not even a single successful bond transaction has come from a customer coming to the door.

And even the guests brought in by Tyrion, with the exception of the minor exception of Jaime Lannister, were all only buying a minimum of one hundred.

However, this unkempt state also has an advantage - most of the guests who have made a deal have come to the office with the mentality of giving the dwarf a face, and if the hundred gold dragon comes back, they can find the Lannister family to be responsible anyway. In this situation, Iger hardly has to worry about the sudden situation of creditors asking for debts on a large scale.

Two thousand gold dragons is not much, but with the addition of Tyrion's personal property...... In the case of no rebellion and no construction, it is already quite a huge amount of money, and a lot of things can be done.

For example, a large plot of land outside the city was bought, various facilities were purchased, and employees were hired to build a large workshop integrating paper and printing...... No, maybe it's more appropriate to describe it as a factory. Then, for a long time, most of the Bibles, calendars, and novels were produced and traded in King's Landing and even the King's Lands.

And on top of that, if Tyrion can still attract investment to enter the market, then he can expand while still holding a large amount of capital enough to meet the emergency!

The goal of gaining a foothold in King's Landing is a certainty, and the next step is just to make more and earn less, and in the end, it will be the difference between how far you can go with Tyrion.

＊＊＊

As the titular master, Egger has done everything he can to make Arya feel like a girl, not swear or be rude, and not mess around...... It's a pity that she can't fix her big grin and love to interject and express her thoughts. I don't know what the girl said to Tyrion again, and they laughed again. These two people, an old man and a young man, a man and a woman who are about the same height, unexpectedly fell in love with each other. In the original plot, they only met in a hurry and then went their separate ways and went to different destinies, and now they met in the Night's Watch office because of the disturbance of a traverser, and somehow became rare close friends between the two Lannister Stark families, if it weren't for the fact that the two were too different in age, and he could see them every day and knew that it wasn't like that, Egger was extremely suspicious that these two guys wanted to stage a bloody episode of "love to resolve family feuds".

Turning his head, a chief logistics officer remembered that there was another person next to him-Nina was silently following him like a little daughter-in-law, bowing her head and not saying a word, looking a little shy.

......

He spends his days with people like Tyrion and Arya, and both of them treat him as a partner and call him a master. Ordinary people who don't know the situation will naturally have the illusion that they are a "great person" when they see it, and they will be nervous under awe...... It's also human nature. The girl is a nimble and literate character, and is an interesting and useful character, so Iger decides to ease the stiff atmosphere and close the distance between himself and the female "inventor".

"Nina, tell me, do you and your brother have ideas for reducing costs?"

"Ahh The girl replied as if frightened, looked up at him, and quickly lowered her eyes to avoid eye contact: "I have some ideas, but I haven't started to try yet, I don't know if I can make ......"

Iger was sure he was right—Nina's face seemed to flush.

He is not a little virgin who has never been touched by a girl's hand, if he hadn't crossed over, he might be about to become a father at this time. With a slight movement in my head, I quickly realized that this was not like the nervousness of seeing a big man, but like a crush bumping into a deer at a loss. Is it really Tyrion who says that this girl is interesting to herself?

It's not impossible, although Egger himself is a small soldier, but after coming to King's Landing, he has dealt with characters such as the prime minister, the rich knight pulled by Tyrion, and the royal nobles, and he has worked his image - except for being a little weird in black, whether it is clothing, etiquette or manners, I am afraid that he is more decent than some down-and-out nobles, and he also plays the role of patron and behind-the-scenes boss in front of Nina...... In this backward era of worse than rotten, it seems not uncommon for me to be able to attract girls who are about sixteen or seventeen years old and have just begun to fall in love.

This is funny, a wry smile was drawn at the corner of Egg's mouth - before the crossing, the conditions of his own family were at best well-off, and his personal appearance could only be regarded as upright. Tall, rich, and handsome are full of one and a half miles, and it's no problem to find a wife, but you can't enjoy this feeling of being popular with girls: "Well, since it's an idea, of course it's not necessarily possible." Just tell me and I'll give you a staff officer. ”

In the process of perfecting the art of papermaking, Egger provided some valuable advice with far more insight than those around him, but he went a little deeper, and he was a layman and leader who did not fray into the workshop much and was busy with other things all day...... In fact, there is no way to continue to show off or guide. While Nina was saying something that he didn't seem to understand, Iger was finally able to observe her generously, and the bright eyes that made a deep first impression on him naturally didn't need to be described...... But even if this biggest highlight is removed, the rest of the girl can still form a beauty - a slender body hidden under a thin shirt, long eyelashes, a small nose, two small dimples that faintly flash on her face even if she is not smiling, and a soft skin that is red in the powder...... It is as clean as a lotus flower.

This is a girl who is hard to be amazed, but the more you get acquainted with it, the more pleasing it becomes, she is from a civilian background, but she can not only read and write, but also has a smart mind that can invent and create - such a wonderful person, not rare in the modern world, but in Westeros, it is simply a pearl in the sand, a miraculous existence. Since Egger came into contact with many women with outstanding appearances since he came into this world, those who were either queens and ladies of noble families, or witches like Melisandre, were characters that could be seen from a distance and could not be played with. Now that there is suddenly a little lotus flower that is easy to approach and does not have to worry about causing trouble if it touches it, it is a little ape for a while.

Maybe you can use the identity of the "boss" to keep her by your side, and then have something to do with the secretary and nothing to do with the secretary?

He quickly squeezed the thought out of his head, he hadn't touched a woman in too long...... You can't be controlled by hormones to do big things, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, there are women in the world, and it's really unwise to use your brains against the people around you who can help you.

Despite trying to keep "sanity", driving a beautiful girl out of the country is not something a normal person would do after all. Egger smiled and talked to Nina about the improvement of papermaking, since he couldn't provide technical advice, he simply moved out of the killer idea, and nodded whatever the girl said: "Well, it's still the same sentence, money is not a problem, try boldly, don't be afraid of failure." ”

The girl was not a twisted person, and after a few words of conversation and jokes, the nervousness and shyness of being alone with the object of worship for the first time quickly faded, and she behaved naturally, and from time to time she boldly glanced up at the man, full of curiosity - the legendary night watchman, composed of criminals and scum, was as dashing and handsome as the one in front of him?

......

Talking and laughing, the night watchman's office arrived. Although Nina is not the owner of the money, Egg and Tyrion still plan to go through the formal process to sign a proper "investment voucher" with her, and if they want to keep those who are capable, they can't play tricks, they have to have something real. And as half of her own person, she can also rehearse it to prepare for the real investment customers in the future.

But the staff of the office who stayed behind greeted him first: "My lord, the commander-in-chief has a letter." ”

......

So fast, it's only been more than ten days, and the replies have come?

Iger took the letter and found that the fire paint had been opened, but it was the work of Master Paishir, who was in charge of receiving the letter in King's Landing, or if Jaqun had quietly opened it to spy on the Night's Watch secrets?

He glanced at the Braavos spy sitting next to him pretending to be stupid, and opened the letter.

As long as you don't call yourself back to the Great Wall, whatever you write in it is arbitrary.

......

After a few seconds, he looked up and smiled indistinctly at Tyrion.

"What's the good news, smiling so proudly?" Tyrion pursed his lips in disgust, he was the one who wrote the letter he sent more than ten days ago, and the content of the reply could naturally be guessed: "Mormont delayed the large-scale northward reconnaissance and explained to you the reason for the initiation of this operation?"

Iger nodded, still smiling.

"You're now the official chief logistics officer of the Night's Watch?"

Still nodding silently, and smirking proudly.

"Did they catch the ghouls?"

"Not really, but I'm already trying. Iger put down the letterhead, a bunch of good news actually brought half bad news at the end, but it wasn't bad, he already had a plan to deal with it. "Don't talk about these, go to the middle and sign investment vouchers!"
