Chapter 371: Twists and Turns (I)

Truth be told, in the face of such drastic changes in the direction of the story, Varys's appearance in front of Daenerys as if he was thunderbolt has already made Iger uneasy and suspicious...... It's just that he has to focus on fishing the queen for the time being, and he doesn't have time to think about the joints immediately. Who would have thought—Iger didn't want to deal with Varys, the intelligence boss had to make a move on him first, and hit him with a stumbling blow.

Iger was annoyed in his heart, but he knew that the other party was probably not fabricating slander indiscriminately, and the matter of the dragon hunting crossbow should be true, but it was not the fault of himself, Nina, or any middle and high-level decision-makers in the Night's Watch industry: the industry still sent the financial reports and operational details to the land grant on a regular basis without reservation, but it was impossible for him to put down the first priority of arranging the defense of the Grand Canyon and take the time to read this kind of "insignificant" document first- Not to mention, most of the dragon hunting crossbows are just one of the normal business of the industry-related military industry departments, and even if they read the report, most of them will ignore this kind of detail.

At best, this matter is only an inevitability of normal operation, but at worst, it can be put on the platform to the "capital enemy...... Just see what Daenerys thinks. The opportunity has been lost, and it is only right to think of a remedy - the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, who was suddenly questioned, quickly organized the appropriate language of defense, but after the questioner, a second unexpected voice emerged first:

"Commander-in-Chief Iger is in the land grant, and most of them can't control his subordinates in the south. The puppet king is powerful in King's Landing, and his request is only afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to refuse, and it is understandable that there will be a little accident. ”

......

The words are quite pertinent, but the identity of the speaker is so strange that everyone's eyes are instantly focused on the source of the sound.

Anyone has the right to hold their own opinions, and this explanation, from the mouth of Egger, Melisandre standing behind Egger, Macchiro, Petyr, Missandei, and even anyone else in this room, is only a matter of position and perspective, but it comes from the mouth of one person who should not say it the least—Daenerys Targaryen, who sits on the throne.

As the current occupant of the land, the king assisted by Varys, Daenerys is the "master". The aides questioned the visitors, at least on the surface, to ensure that the queen was not deceived or deceived and that her interests were protected...... Even if she, the host, doesn't want to embarrass the guests, she should go through the minimum formalities and procedures, listen to Egger's defense, and then borrow the donkey to express acceptance and recognition—how can there be such a position to confusely cross the identity difference and rush to answer, rush to help the "outsiders" explain, and put the "own person" Varys who raised the question in an embarrassment?

Daenerys was stared at by everyone, and suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, not that her emotional intelligence was so low that she didn't even understand the basic rules of social interaction, but that part of her mind had not yet left the gift from the other party, and the other part was immersed in the joy of having such a famous person come to join her as soon as she returned to Westeros. I don't want anything to go wrong with this friendly meeting...... The mind did not belong, but he blurted out the words in his heart.

Of course, the lines that were spit out couldn't be swallowed back, and since it was difficult to recover from the water, Danny simply played the queen's trick - no one in this room dared to criticize her openly anyway. Her face was hot, and after coughing in embarrassment under strong pressure, she wiped the expression on her face and pretended that nothing had happened: "Well, that's right...... Your Excellency, how do you explain this?"

You've already understood me first, what else can I explain?

Iger was completely unaware that the queen had already known and expected of himself from Machiro's mouth, and was bewildered by this over-the-top over-the-top gesture, and fell into a greater confusion than when he had been harassed by Varys just now. From the moment he entered, he noticed something strange about the atmosphere: he was not the king of the north, but not only was the queen herself greeted in person quickly and solemnly as soon as she arrived, but even her initial attitude seemed too friendly to look like a full-fledged ruler meeting a living person. And the inexplicable answer just now pushed this weirdness to the extreme......

It would have been understandable if she had seen the book she had sent to the Monarch and regarded herself as a confidant, and thus had a very good opinion of herself, but Iger saw it clearly: the queen only opened the silk cloth and glanced at the cover, not even the first page.

How can there be a reason to take the bait directly before you even eat the bait?

To say that Daenerys wants to fix herself up is to exalt herself as the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch...... Is it because she also has a prophetic aura so the dragon mother fell in love with her at first sight, or is it a side effect of her true dragon bloodline that causes her to be mentally abnormal, and she began to have clues so early?

......

Iger muttered inwardly, but at least not on his face. One reason was preemptively said by the queen, so it was naturally inappropriate to be a repeater, so he had to think from the beginning and find other ways to defend himself...... Because Daenerys was so eye-catching, it was only now that he remembered to observe the others beside the queen while he was thinking: a row of unsullied people in the same costume made it impossible to guess if the gray bugs were among them, the young girl who had just signed up and handed over the gift knew with her toes that it was Missandei, Varys, whom he had been in and out of the Red Keep twice, and Petyr, with whom he had a relationship...... Only the dark-skinned red-robed man who always stood in the corner as if blending into the shadows made Iger unable to figure out where he was coming from.

Perhaps, having a red-robed priest to assist is the standard for candidates for the Son of Prophecy, and the Red Temple uses this way to cast a net to ensure that it does not pass by the right candidate?

Afraid of thinking too much and making mistakes, Iger quickly retracted his thoughts, and began to defend himself after calming down.

"Back to Your Majesty, although the name of the Night's Watch industry is preceded by the word Night's Watch, it is not subordinate to the Night's Watch Legion, and the operators and employees are also selected and recruited from the royal domain and even the Seven Kingdoms, not the Oath Night's Watch drawn from the Great Wall. Although the strange behavior of the other party just now made Iger a little worried about the queen's mental state, it at least made him confident in his confession - it was obvious that he would accept the queen no matter how he explained it. "It's not so much that it's part of the garrison of the Great Wall, but that it's just a joint effort by the nobles and people of the Seven Kingdoms to take the lead, and the nobles and people with lofty ideals from all over the Seven Kingdoms...... Use part of the profits to support the defense of the Great Wall, so as to prevent the Blackshirts from weakening to the point of being forced to disband. Its mission is to take on the function of "feeding the defenders of the Wall" for the few remaining land-grantees, and to avoid putting financial pressure on the North or the Iron Throne - the Night's Watch benefits from its existence, but it is not controlled by the Night's Watch itself, and although I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, I do not directly command it. The situation of an arms deal with King Stannis was a real surprise, and I will deal with it as soon as possible, cutting out the part of the industry that has a relationship with the defenders of King's Landing and the military-industrial exchanges, and continuing to maintain the neutrality that the Night's Watch should have. ”

That's a good point, but cutting out? Almost all production and operation are carried out within the black walls of the Night's Watch Industrial Park, what kind of cutting method? Moreover, the design improvement of the Dragon Hunter Heavy Crossbow is almost single-handedly carried out by the R&D Department of the Night's Watch Industry, so this kind of upfront investment in technology and brainpower is not counted?

If he wants to continue to trouble Egger, Varys, who has a lot of information and inside information, has thousands of ways, but Daenerys's friendly gesture is already so obvious, why bother to be bored? After all, he only spoke to reinforce the impression that everyone knows everything, not that the Night's Watch Commander-in-Chief is any threat to his career and layout.

Daenerys didn't rush to speak this time, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that none of her ministers had anything to add, "Alright, Lord Commander, I'm sure you didn't provide the crossbow to King's Landing out of your own will. But since you have not come to swear allegiance to me, what is the purpose of this visit?"
