The letter to the Wall had been sent, and thousands of miles away, Egger was powerless and unable to exert any other influence over the Night's Watch. He knew very well that he was not the only one of the Night's Watch Legion, and even not the main source of logistics for the time being, the so-called "impact of logistics on the front" was likely to be extremely limited. All he could hope for now was for the raven who delivered it to be delivered safely and quickly, and for those who read it to take its contents to heart.

The days of King's Landing still have to continue, after discovering that Arya can act as his ear at the heart of power, Egg is more thoughtful in enveloping her, except for some things that really can't let her know, basically willing to take her with her wherever she goes...... "master-apprentice relationship" is getting deeper and deeper, but the relationship is too familiar and often pestered by her is also true. If it weren't for the fact that the girl dressed up as a fairly standard aristocratic lady, and the **** that she could bring with her to make people enjoy "being a teacher" and "cultivating", Egger didn't know if it would be worth the loss to waste a lot of effort just for a little news.

He misses the compulsory education of the world he came from a little - the bear child without homework is really terrible.

......

The bear child was troublesome, but he was able to find the right way to deal with it, and the other guy made Egger's head bigger: Jaqun Hegar didn't hit Arya at first sight, but he didn't quit early as he had hoped. Instead, he seemed to settle down in Egger's arranged quarters, commuting to and from work with him every day in black, doing light chores for the office as he was told, and taking on the task of looking after the façade when he left the office from time to time - even though Iger soon hired another local employee in King's Landing, he still didn't say anything about leaving.

What's the use of such a top-notch spy and killer who doesn't gather information for himself or kill for himself?Iger decides to pinch him and Arya together - either to share some pressure on himself, or to be forced away by the bear child: "Ah Kun, I don't have time today, you go and practice the sword with Miss Stark." ”

"Huh?" Arya suddenly looked unhappy: "Don't, I only practice with my master, and I am not allowed to use others to perfunctory me!"

"You are such a dish, it is really a waste of the master's time to practice swords with you every day, and when you master the proficiency I have taught you and can win against the master's men, come to me again. ”

"Somebody doesn't make a sword, sir. ”

"Can you enter the Wang Family Library, but you can't deal with a little girl?" Egger squinted at Jia Kun: "I don't ask you where you come from, and I don't restrict you from staying, please be a little more honest, don't treat people as fools...... I don't know how to use a sword, so just teach her something else, your task is before I have time...... Don't let her defeat you. ”

Jia Kun hesitated, and finally agreed: "Someone understands." ”

In order not to let Jakun be restrained, Egger did not watch him and Arya practice in the backyard, the girl was still unhappy at first, but soon with excitement on her face to compete with the new sparring partner, Iger finally breathed a sigh of relief: if Jaqun not only stayed in King's Landing for an unknown purpose, but also did not pretend to be powerless, then he really didn't know how to deal with him.

After an accident in which a bond buyer came to his door but was not there, Iger and Tyrion learned their lesson and created a timetable for the sale of bonds that was accurate to the day - on the appointed days, Iger would stay strictly from morning to night waiting for the latter to solicit customers, while at other times, he could have the hired staff watch the office remain open, while he himself went about other things, such as going to the Niel Nina siblings' experimental workshop to monitor the progress of the papermaking and participate in the discussion of suggestions for improvements. Urging the mining of obsidian mines and procuring supplies for the Night's Watch.

......

Summer in King's Landing was as hot and smelly as ever, but without Catelyn Tully's Hulai and Petyr Berish's troubles, the days in the Capital of the Seven Kingdoms were a bit uneventful compared to the original story—the King was eating, drinking, and sowing seeds, the Queen was fearful of continuing to have affairs with her brother, and the Prime Minister was overwhelmed by the mystery of the death of his adoptive father and predecessor and the rumors that were spreading throughout the city......

Beneath this ominous lull, the sale of the first Night's Watch bonds and the improvement of papermaking that underpinned it went silently. After the first batch of ore reproduced in the ancient obsidian mines of Dragonstone Island was loaded into the port of Dragonstone, and squeezed into the cabin along with a large number of auxiliary items purchased by Iger for the "Ghoul Capture Project", and staggered onto the voyage to the East China Sea, the first plant fiber paper with practical value in the continent of Westeros, and possibly the entire world of ice and fire, was finally born in that small workshop.

This is an important moment in history, especially for the few parties who still want to make a fortune from it.

Egger and Tyrion arrive together at the workshop where Paper was born, and stand with the papermaking siblings...... Of course, Arya, who would not miss any excitement, also followed.

Judging from the appearance alone, the paper in front of Egger ...... Except for the grayish yellow color and some uneven edges, it already had the texture of the worst-quality pirated book or dark money he had ever seen before he crossed over. Try folding or rolling it up – it's flexible, and then pull it with a little bit of force on your hand – and you'll only get a slight deformation without breaking...... Now, as long as the ink is clear and not seeping through after writing on it with a pen, that's what they need.

"Bring a pen. Iger stretched out his hand.

Nina quickly fetched the pen and ink, and Arya snatched it: "I'll write it!"

Egger was a little helpless, and sighed with a little doting: "Okay, I'll let you be the first one." ”

Of course, the girl will not be the first, and the papermaking brothers and sisters dare to call both bosses, apparently they have already done experiments. The girl dipped her pen in ink and excitedly wrote her name on the paper: Arya Stark.

Not only that, but she scribbled under her name, drawing a cloud and a tree, and a small person......

The room fell silent, and the siblings stared nervously at Egg and Tyrion, who looked at Egg inquiringly.

"How?"

"What's the matter, isn't the person who prints under your control, do you think this paper can be used for printing?"

Tirion looked at Arya's name and painting on the paper, touched his chin and thought for a while, and nodded, "I think it's okay." ”

"That's no problem. Iger said categorically, "Nina, tell me, how much does this piece of paper cost?"

"Cost?" the girl inventor blinked a few bright eyes: "The cost of raw materials...... Sheets of paper can be almost ignored, mainly equipment, processing agents, dye fuels...... And artificial!"

"Remove the equipment and the venue, and tell me an approximate number. ”

"About a dozen bronze stars. ”

"Very well, after mass production, even if the equipment and ground rent are included, the real cost will continue to decrease and approach this figure, and this figure should continue to decrease as the process matures and progresses. Egger thought about it, and suddenly turned his head and asked Tirion, "How much does the parchment on the market cost now?"

Two months ago, Tyrion couldn't answer the question, but now, he'd done his homework: "It's like this, it's close to a silver deer, if it's thicker or better, it's impossible to say." ”

"Now it's clear that even if the process hasn't been improved, the cost of our paper is only a fraction of that of parchment. Iger took a deep breath: "The show is about to begin, in order to commemorate this historic moment, let's give this paper a name." ”

Nina was the first to suggest: "Lord Iger has made many suggestions for the birth of this paper, and the biggest contribution is called West paper." ”

"Ha, if you want to say that you have made a big contribution, I don't dare to be it. But it's weird to call Neil and Nina paper — why don't you call it Lannister paper?"

"It's called Arya, you see, my name is written on it!"

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Tyrion decided, "Let me be the Lord this time, according to me, call it the Night's Watch Paper, not only to identify the funders of this paper research and development, but also to advertise our bonds for free!"
