Chapter 64: Guarding Peace?
The cacophony of voices brought Agra back to reality, and he realized that this was not the time to think about things, so he took the horse for Eddard Stark's captain of the guard, and invited the two guests, one large and one small, into the yet-to-open Night's Watch office, and he continued his thoughts in secret.
In order to save his deception, it seems that he has to work hard to become a guardian of peace, which is a bit funny to think about. But Iger couldn't laugh, it was a very serious and troublesome thing to stop the battle of the five kings...... Just thinking about it gives you a sense of déjà vu that prevents Bran from falling. Is this war another god trying to cause?
Wait, thinking like this won't lead to anything, forget about those damn otherworldly beings. There is no doubt that put Littlefinger, Varys...... Killing these two conspirators is the best way to get paid once and for all, but unfortunately they can't do it themselves. With the help of external forces, Iger quickly thought of Jakun Hegar again, but when it came to this guy, he had a headache again.
The wound from which Melisandre had bled the other day had not yet scabbed off, and he had remembered the existence of such a faceless being that night. The delay in soliciting is not because I have forgotten, but because I really can't think of any good way.

Jaquin is from Braavos, and Braavos is special in that it doesn't just have an iron vault. The city across the Narrow Sea was a place of its own time: a multi-racial immigrant city-state, a land of freedom where slavery was built and permanently abolished, a sea-fringe port with a thriving trade, a liberal multi-religious and cultural diversity, an iron vault of unfathomable financial and political power, an elite Assassin organization with a reputation for being "mission to kill", and the official ruler of Aquaman, chosen by the Braavos upper echelons in a mysterious and puzzling process from among all citizens...... The city-state's history has seen several major foreign wars, but not a single defeat, and even Pantos, who was also a free-trade city-state but much older and much stronger on paper at the beginning of the conflict, was subdued by this generation and forced to publicly declare the abolition of slavery......
The battle must be won, and none of the opponents are soft persimmons, this amazing ability to win is by no means accidental, to be able to win a war of this magnitude, for the internal resources, organization and the coordination, mobilization and integration of the armed forces, there are extremely high requirements - Braavos's internal Sea King, Iron Vault and Black and White Courtyard and other organizations are by no means unrelated independent existence, and there is definitely a certain mutual assistance agreement and even a strategic level of cooperative relations between several high-level leaders behind the scenes, maybe it is impossible to directly be the same group of people.
Iger even dared to venture to guess that the House of Black and White in Braavos was the agency responsible for training spies and assassins - responsible for gathering intelligence and eliminating hostile and important people who threatened Braavos's interests!
In a word, the Black and White Courtyard is the core organization of Braavos, located in the ruling class, and Jacquin, as a high-ranking faceless assassin with the right to take apprentices, a big spy from across the Narrow Sea, how can he subdue this guy and let him kill for himself?
How could a horrible creature with a working organization, a loyal faith, and a well-informed murderer end up in King's Landing? Was it accidental or intentional that he hitched a ride on Yoron's way to the Great Wall? Did he come to Westeros to kill anyone, or was he on some other mission?
......
The high-ranking faceless man was in the black prison at the moment, and had already expressed his willingness to join the Night's Watch to Yoron, and Iger had conceived of causing an accident and then pretending to rescue him to make him owe him a favor, but after thinking about it, he couldn't do it without a henchman and a reliable accomplice.
***
Killing people is not a violent way to break the game, so you can only think of ways to suppress the chaos and help Eddard win the game of King's Landing, at least not lose miserably.
Egger doesn't feel that his level of scheming has reached that level, not to mention that there is a eunuch who has a different purpose from the former, but also wants to stir up the situation at this stage, or a temporary ally of the-stirring stick, in the case of this kind of conspiracy proficiency and intelligence information acquisition ability are extremely unbalanced, the advantage of knowing the plot is not at all. The two high-level players on the opposite side are doing things wholeheartedly, and a novice himself has to think about stabilizing the situation while engaging in night watchman bonds, but he is afraid that he will get busier and more mistakes, and he will be exposed and shot to death if he is not careful.
Not to mention, all I know is the plot before the change.
The failure to stop Bran from falling made Egger feel uneasy, he really didn't want to go into battle shirtless like this and directly meddle in the plot, how did he finally get out of the pile of in Winterfell in one fell swoop?
[Secretly snitch to the Stark family.] 】
Past success stories suddenly gave Egger inspiration, just like if you want to clear up the relationship in Bran's assassination, you don't have to deal with the assassins yourself, you don't have to help Ed, you don't have to play against Littlefinger, as the actual ruler of the North, Egger has his own power and thinking ability, as long as he can separate Ed and Littlefinger, so that Ed doesn't have to be led by the nose!
......
"Egger, my young lady is talking to you. ”
A male voice suddenly interrupted Egger's thoughts again, and he looked up, and a small young face was in front of him.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm thinking about conscription, what do Miss Arya have to order?"
"You're the Egg Jon said about?" Arya pouted, repeating what she had just said, "The Night's Watch Ranger who killed the Wraith?"
"Yes. ”
Iger glanced at Jori, the Prime Minister's Chief of Guard, who had disbelief written on his face, and reluctantly admitted that this kind of feeling of telling the truth and being a little weak was really weird.
"Isn't the ghost very powerful?"
"It's amazing, Gary and I fought two and one, and we almost got killed. ”
"But you killed it in the end, you must be very good at swordsmanship!" the girl's eyes lit up, "Come here, I have something to tell you." ”
"Don't follow!" the girl shouted at her father's guards, and then dragged the confused Iger to the "Chief Logistics Officer's Office" in the inner room, closed the door, and said mysteriously, "Can you teach me how to use a sword?"
"Huh?" Egger was a little strange, calculating the time, at this stage, Ed shouldn't have hired a swordsmanship instructor for her, it seems to be from Braavos, called Leigh...... "Why don't you ask your father to hire a coach for you?"
"How could he agree, are you stupid! I'm a girl!"
***
It's a bit strange, what kind of plot change made what should have happened not happening? Iger understands that nine times out of ten, all this is caused by himself, and the butterfly effect is characterized by a small perturbation under the initial conditions that can lead to a long-term and huge chain reaction of the whole system: it may be that he framed Joffrey's whistleblower that changed Ed's mind, or maybe Arya carefully hid her sewing needle from her father...... The specific reason doesn't matter, now that I'm as busy as a ghost, how can I take care of this little girl from the Stark family?
"I'm busy, sorry miss. "Lao Tzu is busy saving you Lao Tzu, Egger said in his heart, but he shook his head politely: "Go find your father's guards." ”
"My father just did you a great favor, and you didn't even agree to this little thing!"
It's your father who is helping me, not you, Egg smiled bitterly, Arya is undoubtedly an important character, if there is nothing to do, having a good relationship with her can be included in the list of idle chess...... But if she wants to be useful to herself, she will only be able to do it after she has completed her faceless training, and at this stage, this girl is useless to herself.
There is no doubt that it is utilitarian to evaluate others with "whether it is useful or not", but Egger is really not romantic now, he shook his head resolutely, and organized words of rejection in Arya's threatening glare, but at the last moment, he suddenly had something else in mind.
