The king on the Great Wall

Ed hesitated for a few seconds, sighed in his heart, and brought a pen and paper: "Your Majesty, please give me instructions."

"Here is the will of Robert I of House Baratheon, of the Andals and others - put all the goddamn titles in there, you know which ones. I hereby appoint the Duke of Winterfell , Hand of the King, Eddard of the Stark family is the regent and the guardian of the whole realm... since my death... I will govern the state affairs on my behalf—as for the throne, you know who to pass it on to, write it in."

Stannis Baratheon.Ed's face was full of sadness, but his men didn't hesitate at all: "What else?"

"Write what you should write, obey, protect, old and new gods... the messy rules, as the king's hand, don't you know. I will sign after I finish writing. When I die, I will hand this over to the imperial council."

"Robert," Edd said sadly, "don't do this, don't leave me. The country needs you."

"Hmph..." Robert endured a strong sense of weakness and shook his head: "Ned Stark, you...you can't lie. This country knows...what a fool I am, just like Aerys No one wants me, my foolish lord, except for the bunch of girls I've had... May the gods forgive me."

"No," Ed shook his head, "Your Majesty, you are different from Aerys, you are much better than him."

"Maybe a little better than him, at least people will say... the last thing I do in my life... yes. The country is in your hands. You will hate governance more than I do... but you will do Well done. Are you done?"

"Okay, Your Majesty." Ed handed the paper to the king, and Robert strenuously stood up, freed his hand to sign indiscriminately, and immediately threw his pen down after signing: "Someone needs to witness the seal."

"Wait a minute, there are still a few things, just listen. If the Tyrell family contributes to this battle, give them a seat in the imperial meeting, so that they don't run around without thinking. Don’t give me the land, the land in the bay is big enough.” The king hesitated, sighed and said another thing: “Also, whoever owns those three children, let them live. I know that this may cause hidden dangers for the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms...but...forget it, I don't explain it, it's out of selfishness, I'm not a cold-blooded animal after all. You can use whatever method you want, just hide it and send it to Doom Soth... and... that Targaryen girl named Daenerys, stop trying to kill her, gods be merciful, stop."

It wasn't the same Robert as usual, but Ed wasn't happy at all, if only he had been so sane and calm earlier?

"I will, friend," Eddard said, "I swear by the gods old and new."

"That's good. Now, let them come in. I will try to live a few more days to give you time to mentally prepare. You don't have to come to see me every day, so save your energy and do something serious... In addition, let the Tyrell family My dear girl, stop guarding here, I don’t want to let outsiders look at this miserable appearance before I die.” The king chuckled: “Ask the maester to bring me something that can anesthetize me, Mr. Baratheon Bo I, the last wish is to die in my sleep, and ask the gods to bless me not to be incontinent after death... What about him, it's ridiculous."

Chapter 190

"Ed won't let you into Robert's room anymore?" Renly paced back and forth restlessly, then turned around and stood still, and asked in a low voice, "You've been guarding Robert's bed all day, how is my brother's body going?" what's going on?"

"I don't know...I don't know..." Margaret shook her head blankly, looking as if she was about to cry: "Your Majesty has cultivated himself so well, but for some reason, he has become more and more imbecile. , and even began to mutter that he was 'hopeless', 'going to die' and so on... It's useless to persuade anyone."

For half a month, she took care of him meticulously by the bedside, but she still could only watch Robert's depression with her own eyes, and experienced the feeling of stepping from heaven to hell step by step. The sly and bright eyes couldn't shine any more at this moment.A curse-like voice seemed to hover in her ears: You will never, never, never marry the man you want to marry.

She shook her head vigorously to shake the hallucinations out of her mind, but she still couldn't figure it out: "Isn't he just stabbed in the back, such a strong man, since he didn't die at that time... Afterwards, there were so many doctors and bachelors around, why did he just die?" Can it be saved?"

Looking at the distraught Margaery, Renly realized that if he continued to ask, he would not be able to ask anything, so he gave up this idea and turned around in the room again.In fact——he didn't really need Margaery's answer at all, but he was so nervous that he subconsciously wanted to discuss it with someone...

Losing his parents since he was a child, Renly could almost be said to have been brought up by his two elder brothers, Robert and Stannis... He knew everything about his two brothers who were also brothers and fathers, from temper to character— He hadn't heard a word of what Robert had said to the Prime Minister in the room just now, but even by guessing, he could make a good guess.

If I do nothing in the future, I will spend the rest of my life under the command of that rigid brother who is almost pedantic, boring and almost cruel. Since then, the Baratheon family has split into two branches, King's Landing and Storm's End. If it is contained, they will miss the Iron Throne.

He was not reconciled.

……

"Robert just finished his funeral and sealed his will." The night outside the window was like ink, Renly looked through the window at the Prime Minister's Tower, which was still lit, and then looked back at Margaery Tyrell, who was sluggish. Knowing that it was impossible to rely on outsiders to make decisions for himself, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Guess what our Prime Minister is doing now? I bet my life that he is writing a letter to Stannis now, telling him to hurry up Lead the fleet back to King's Landing to inherit the throne, and my second brother has a wife! Do you... still want to be the queen?"

"Do I still want to be queen?" Margaery raised her head as if waking up from a dream, her face full of fatigue and confusion: "Stannis has such a temperament, how could he marry after being deposed."

"Of course it's impossible. Even if his wife died for some reason, he would never consider you! Stannis was besieged by Tyrell's army in Storm's End back then. But Robert insisted not to liquidate the Reach... He still has a heart in his heart. If he sits on the Iron Throne, no matter who you marry, the generation or two... Within a hundred years, the Rose family Don't even think about turning over!"

"You mean...don't let him sit on the Iron Throne?" Margaery heard the voice of Renly's voice, she came back to her senses, her body shook, and her gaze instantly shifted from the erratic state to Renly's face. : "But, the defense team is now in Ed's hands!"

"The garrison is only 2000 people, so what if Ed is in his hands?" Renly's voice trembled with determination, but his tone was filled with disdain: "The armies of the northern border, the river, the valley and the king's land are all fighting in the western border. , but my army just marched westward through King's Landing two days ago, and it was less than a hundred miles away. It is the closest army to the capital of the Seven Kingdoms at this moment. If I can pull them to King's Landing, the Reach will also hurry up Some people came to help out... don't say two thousand, it's four thousand five thousand, so what!"

"This..." Margaret opened her mouth, a chill ran down her back, usurping the throne by force?Although she tried her best to bring the family back to the center of power, she never thought of using such a violent and dangerous method as raising troops, which was not within the scope of skills taught to her by her grandmother!

"I, write to my vassals." Panting, Renly looked at the door and the window, turned around and approached the girl, and lowered his voice again: "You, write to your family, let Loras quickly Bring people to King's Landing!"

"Even if you can take King's Landing, how will you deal with the counterattack of the King's Landing and the Northern Alliance?"

"Over the years, do you think that I have been eating, drinking and having fun in King's Landing? The princes of the kingdom are all my friends! They will accept Ed Stark's order and return to defend King's Landing, but they will 'encounter' all kinds of things on the way. Trouble, the march was repeatedly 'delayed', and I didn't arrive until I took King's Landing... At that time, as long as I sit on the Iron Throne, they will not hesitate to swear allegiance to me. As for Eddard Stark The troops of the three families in the north under control...I can't explain the specific reasons to you, but I guarantee that they will never be able to return in time!"

Margaret believed that the king's army might be inclined to support Renly, but how did he ensure that the army under Ed Stark's orders would not be able to return in time?The girl stared at Renly's originally young and handsome face, which was now slightly ferocious because of making the most important decision in his life. His expression changed in every way, and after a little thought, he guessed the truth: "You... don't tell me you're with the Lannister family? What deal was reached!?"

"That's not the case. I didn't promise anything to the Lannister family. It's old man Tywin's wishful thinking!" Renly grabbed Margaery's arm so hard that she almost cried out in pain: "Don't hesitate any longer. Yu, your brother promised to support me a long time ago! You will become queen, and the Tyrell family will get everything they want, I swear in the name of the old and new gods!"

The word "Queen" crushed Margery's last hesitation. Since she stepped out of the Reach, she had been bumping into walls everywhere. She finally thought that she was going to make it through, but Robert couldn't figure it out... After several trips down, it was like going through thorns The tough nerves tempered by the queen almost collapsed. This is the moment when her mind is most vulnerable. The Duke of Stormland in front of her jumped out at the moment when she was almost drowning in despair, and handed her the straw to save her life!

Margaery shuddered and thought for a few seconds, then grabbed the straw Renly handed over.She had had enough, she didn't want to wait for the blessings of the bullshit gods anymore, since the gods in the sky didn't give her a chance to become a queen, she had to create it by herself this time!

The determination did not interfere with her reason, and she immediately found the problem: "But the crows in King's Landing are also controlled by the bachelor invited by Mr. Ed, how do you send the letter?"

"Go to the nearest city of Rosby and use their ravens." Seeing that Margaery finally let go, Renly's eyes flashed with excitement: "It's not too late, we'll leave as soon as the city gates open tomorrow morning, I promise you Well, the Rosby family will not only let me use ravens, but also send people to escort me west to join my army...Maybe, they may even use the power inside King's Landing to make it easier for me to break the city when I lead the army to arrive. smoothly!"

"and I?"

"Leave King's Landing and return to the Bend. The army fighting in the western region is too far away to be transferred back. But I think, with the population and resources of the Reach, it shouldn't be difficult to gather another [-] to [-] people nearby to help." Blue Li let go of Margaery's arm: "Go back to your room now, take a good rest, and set off at dawn tomorrow, the sooner the better, if you can take this city before Stannis returns to King's Landing, or even capture it alive Duke Ed, maybe he can force him to change his will and swear allegiance to me, making me the legal successor directly!"

Chapter 191 Frontline

In the hall of Sarsfield City, the "Northern Route Army" of the Lion Slaying War - the princes of the North, the River and the Valley are surrounding a long table full of maps, carrying out the battle before marching to Lannis Port. Last battle meeting.

Robb Stark stood at the end of the table, smiling and complacent, as if he was the host of the meeting.

He has the right to be proud. As the youngest nobleman present, he commands the strongest of the lion-killing armies from the north, the center and the south. The glory of these two valleys and the gateway to the west, Golden Tooth City, is one of the few aristocratic heirs in the Seven Kingdoms who have truly chosen their own spouse—you know, even kings are rarely lucky enough to be able to get together with their sweetheart.

Relying on more than ten times the strength of the defenders, observing Robert's accumulated experience in attacking the Blood Gate, and the brave and unstoppable Northern Expendables, the Northern Route Army wrote to his father Ed in Robb, "guaranteed to take the Golden Tooth City in three days. On the fourth day of the day, he broke through the barrier blocking the Hejian Avenue.Although it seems to take an extra day, the actual battle time is indeed three days... After passing through this checkpoint, the northeast of the western border opened up, and it took a few more days for the Northern Route Army to take down this Sarsfield family. castle.

Excluding the remaining troops arranged along the way, there are still more than [-] soldiers left in the Northern Route Army. Now, between them and Casterly Rock City and Lannisport, there are only slightly undulating but smooth river roads and sporadic villages and towns left. There is no fortified city.

……

"What's there to discuss? Eat, drink, sleep well, get enough energy, go straight to Casterly Rock, drag out the old lion and his rambunctious sons and daughters and hang them!" Greatjon Umber He said in a rough voice: "If there is time, maybe there is a chance to go into the cave and dig a mine by myself. As much as I dig, it will be all my own. When I go down with a hoe, it will be full of gold. You can't experience it in the northern border. !"

Gabriel Glover gave Amber a blank look: "If you want to dig you, the gold mine is all yours, and no one will snatch it from you. I only want what is in the vault."

The conversation between the two caused knowing laughter from the princes present, but there were still people who remained calm: "Casterly Rock City has never been captured." Blackfish Brynden said indifferently. After the end of the suppression of the rebellion, the Valley's status has risen sharply. With many important families in the Valley being convicted, they have become the spokesperson of the Valley Army at this moment: "The safest thing to do now is to station troops in the east of Lannisport, far away from the safety of the city wall. From a distance, after the other two armies arrive, they will take Lannisport in one go, and then dismiss the peasants and soldiers, leaving only the elite to besiege Casterly Rock until Tywin's supply is exhausted and it surrenders."

"We have more than 3 people here, and still can't win Lannisport?" Rickard Karstark snorted: "What are you waiting for the other two ways! When the time comes, the gold in the city will be divided with them! "

"According to investigations, Lannisport has concentrated 2 of the most elite soldiers of the Lannister family, and they are still training new troops." Roose Bolton, the lord of the Dreadfort, spoke softly. Although the volume was low, no one dared to interrupt. "Attacking a city guarded by [-] people with more than [-] people has little chance of winning, not to mention that the Lannisport Guard is the most well-trained garrison in the Seven Kingdoms? Even if we can win, we will pay a heavy price."

"Everyone in the north is one against ten, and there are only [-] defenders... Humph."

"I was born in the North, but I don't think I can fight ten." Roose Bolton continued without any fluctuations in his tone: "Assuming this sentence means'A soldier in the North can fight ten ordinary people 'Well, there are 10,000+ permanent residents within the city walls of Lannisport. As the war broke out, asylum seekers flocked in, maybe even more at this moment. Counting the city walls, the northerners with one enemy and ten can't take advantage. Of course , I admit that if the cost is not considered, it can be broken, but... I am afraid that there will be a lot of widows in the rivers and valleys of the northern border from now on, and I am afraid that everyone present will die. Is it a pleasure for bards to write their ballads, and then someone else inherits your castle, and your women beat your children?"

"Lord Bolton is right." Edmure Tully cautiously expressed his support. Although he is the heir to Riverrun and the nominal leader of the Riverland army, his previous poor performance in the battle against the food burning team in the Western Territory His record made him have a mediocre right to speak, and his words were not as important as his nephew Robb: "But our army is short of food and grass, and this trip west is facing Tywin's scorched earth tactics. To be supplemented... If you sit and wait for help, you will be hungry soon..."

Bolton had already had a countermeasure: "March further to the west, build a defense line after capturing Oxford, keep the main force to contain the western border army in Lannisport, divide the troops to the north and south, attack other small castles and villages, use the battle to support the war, and wait for the other Two lion-killing armies."

There were no loopholes in the plan, but someone soon raised a new question: "Where are the other two armies now? The Golden Tooth City defense line is the most difficult to break through among the three barriers in the western region, but we are the first to approach Casterly Rock City. You have to wait for them in turn, what is this called!"

"The king's army has already arrived outside the Deep Cavern City, but their numbers are small and their combat effectiveness is mediocre, so they can't attack for a long time. I plan to wait for the Stormland army to arrive before trying again..." Robb frowned and explained: "As for the river bend army on the south road, The last time I got the news two days ago, I had crossed the line of Golden Tooth City, so it should not be far away, I will send scouts to contact, and I will make plans when I have news."

This is obviously intended to be done according to a safe plan. The successive victories did not make the Young Wolf Master inflated. Many soldiers and generals in the Hejian Valley respect each other... If there is no accident, the next step is to assign tasks: who will stay in the camp Containing the defenders of Lannisport, whoever takes his own soldiers to disperse to raid the Western Territory... Under the crushing situation, wantonly attacking the city and occupying the most affluent area in the Seven Kingdoms, this is a beautiful job that the leader of the army even wants in his dreams. Everyone stared at Robb, gearing up.

……

Just as the princes of the three Northern Army sized each other up and were about to compete for this good thing, a soldier suddenly came in outside the door.

"My lords, a scout claiming to be a Dornishman has come outside the city, saying that he has urgent news to report!"

"Dorne?" It was strange why the people from the River Bend did not come, but Robb still nodded: "Let him in."

Prompted by the black fish Brynden, they built a map full of battle plans on the table.After a while, a strangely dressed man with extremely dark clothes and skin color walked into the tent.

"Which adult sent you?" The head of the Amber family asked loudly.

"At the order of Lord Oberyn Martell, come to report. Which Lord here is the master?"

"This is a battle meeting, let's make decisions together." Robb said, "If you have any news, just say it in public."

The Dornish soldier in yellow didn't twitch much, nodded and said directly: "Two days ago, my Dornish army passed Crake Hall and continued northward along the coastal road to join the coalition forces to besiege Lannisport and Casterly Rock City, but we were far away from the goal. When the land was still about fifty leagues away, we were stopped by the army of the Reach. The other party did not provide any explanation, but only set up a formation to prevent our Dornish army from advancing unreasonably. A few colleagues and I were ordered to set off at night and sneak through. We arrived here after crossing the river bay army blockade."

"The River Bend Army stopped the Dorne Army?" No wonder the other two armies were delayed in arriving. The scene of the battle meeting immediately exploded. It took a lot of effort for Robb to calm everyone down: "Do you know the reason? Did it happen?" conflict?"

"The River Bay Army did not give any explanation. Since they have twice the strength of our army and did not initiate an attack, they are still in a stalemate."

"It can't be that the people of Hewan see the gold everywhere in the western region, and want to keep it to themselves and not share it with outsiders, hahaha..." Karstark was the first to make a guess, which soon aroused many voices of agreement and approval.

"Is there any other news?"

"His Royal Highness asked me to bring a message, so that all adults should be careful to avoid surprise attacks."

"Understood, it's been a hard journey, come... take this Dorn friend down, so I can treat you to rest."

Wait until the Dornishmen leave the hall.Greatjon Umber laughed: "Southerners are poor eaters. They have not won Lannisport yet, and they are starting to fight for the spoils."

"Fortunately, our wolf and osprey family has always advanced and retreated together, so we don't have this trouble. But we have to hurry up and get more money."

The house was noisy, and most people were amused by the news of the infighting between the two friendly armies, but some people realized that something was wrong. Roose Bolton approached Robb with a serious expression, so as not to be affected by the noise of other princes: "The river The wealth of the Bayland is no less than that of the Western Territory. Even if someone will make a scandal because of the uneven distribution of spoils in this battle, they, the richest, should not be the first to start. Is there any news from King's Landing? Could it be that the king's leadership has changed? "

Blackfish Brynden also became uneasy, and approached his nephew and grandson: "Send someone to the Raven House to see if there are any letters from King's Landing... If not, check to see if the number of ravens has increased."

……

There was a lot of noise in the hall, and the Wolf Osprey princes of the Three Kingdoms, who had always called themselves "one family", laughed at the infighting between Rose and the Sun. In the chaos, two soldiers of the Stark family quietly led the hall and left the hall.After a long while, he dragged the bachelor from Sarsfield City back here, and knelt him down on the ground: "My lord, this guy said he didn't receive any letters from King's Landing, but after we counted, we confirmed that there were two more ravens. After asking him again, he admitted that a letter came from King's Landing yesterday, but he put it in the letter pile and forgot to hand it to the adults."

Robb raised his eyebrows, thinking in his heart that something was wrong: "What about the letter?"

"At this."

Roose Bolton took the letter, handed it to Robb, and then stared at the man who was pinned to the ground by two soldiers with his strangely pale eyes: "The bachelor's allegiance is to this castle. , no matter who his master is, I’m not wrong.”

The bachelor was frightened at this moment, knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately: "My lord, my lord, I really forgot... my age... I am old, my brain is not working! I won't do it next time!"

Amber's eyes widened: "Conceal the military plane and don't report it, just drag it out and hang it to death, what a waste!"

This proposal makes sense, but there is only one bachelor in a castle. If he is really hanged, there will be no one to manage the ravens. Roose Bolton stared coldly at the old man who kowtowed until his forehead was red. , said: "I will send someone to eat and live with you, to ensure that your memory will not have any problems. If this happens again next time... I will turn you into my family emblem, and then I will ask for it in Xuecheng. A person who loves his skin more, understand?"

The maester stared at the coat of arms of the flayer of the Bolton family. Thinking of all the rumors about this northern bloodthirsty family, he shivered and nodded in agreement.

"Take it out." After all, the combat meeting is not over yet, and an outsider cannot be allowed to stay.

After the local bachelor left, everyone's eyes focused on Robb again. The young wolf lord's face changed drastically at this moment, obviously shocked by the content of the letter.

"Why, is King Robert dead?"

"The letter didn't mention this, it just wrote another matter." Robb put away his surprised expression, and said with a sullen face: "According to the reports from the river princes along the Golden Road, they should have rushed to the city of Deep Cave to join the king's army. After conquering the city, the Stormland army, which joined our army in Lannisport and continued westward, suddenly made abnormal movements two days ago and began to return east along the original road... This letter was written three days ago, and it is estimated that the Stormland army At this moment, it is only two or three days away from King's Landing."

Everyone was in an uproar. The three-way army marched together, and the Lannister family was about to be wiped out. Why did the wind change in the blink of an eye, and all the friendly troops fought among themselves and all the friendly troops ran away, making it almost impossible to continue?

"This is Renly's army. If King's Landing hadn't changed and wanted to transfer the army back to fight for the Iron Throne, this kid would never be so bold as to openly march to the capital of the Seven Kingdoms!" Blackfish Brynden was the first to react: "Letter Do you have any instructions for us to return to King Qin immediately?"

"No, my father said that he will transfer back the king's land and the army of Lord Stannis, and recruit new recruits in King's Landing. The Stormland army is only ten thousand, so it should not pose a threat to King's Landing... The letter only tells us to be more careful , in the absence of support along the way, beware of counterattacks by the western army."

"Is it really missing 'all the way'?" Roose Bolton said in a deep voice: "When Lord Ed wrote the letter, I'm afraid he didn't know what happened on the coastal road—we were still discussing why the River Bend Army just now To intercept the Dorne army for no reason, now, we know, it is not for gold."

"Riverbend supports Renly's fight for the Iron Throne!" Blackfish Brynden has lived for more than 50 years, and he can't see the key point: "They prevented Dorne from joining our attack on Lannisport to prevent the Western Army The defeat was too fast to contain us—let Renly take King's Landing smoothly. Worse, if this guess is true, what King's Landing is about to face is probably not just the 1-strong Stormtrooper army that the Prime Minister thought ’, and Renly’s supporters have to be counted. With the strength of the Tyrell family and the population of the river bend, it’s no problem to gather another [-] to [-] troops from the east near the king’s land to support Renly!”

"Write a letter to King's Landing immediately!" Robb slapped the table. He was just about to discuss how to divide the spoils. Who would have thought that the situation would be reversed the next moment: "Then immediately withdraw the troops and defend King's Landing!"

"It's too late. We have gone too far into the western region. From here to return to King's Landing, even if it is pure cavalry, it will take nearly ten days for one person and two horses to travel day and night. What's more, will the Lannister family let us leave calmly? A large number of peasants and soldiers Once the army encounters pursuit during the retreat, it will easily turn into a rout..." Roose Bolton said with a gloomy face: "There is another problem, since we have all entered, if we can't give enough damage to the western border Withdraw the troops, wait for Tai Wen to come back to his senses, with the financial strength of the Western Territory, no matter which side he helps, he will surely win. What if he waits for the other six of our families to lose their vitality and then send troops to retaliate..."

"Grass, if this happens, what shall we do now?"

"King's Landing is estimated to be difficult to protect, so write a letter to Lord Ed to tell him to abandon the city and return to the north if he can't bear it." Bolton's expression was grim: "My suggestion is to go south quickly and join hands with Dorne to defeat the river. The Gulf Army. Then, together with Oberyn Martell, they looted and destroyed all towns and villages in the west except Casterly Rock City, and killed less people! Dorne and Lannister have a grudge, so they must work hard... In this way, they can weaken the River Bend The military power of the land destroyed the material basis for the Western Territory to make a comeback to reap the benefits... And after such a fight, it is absolutely impossible for Dorne to form an alliance with the River Bend to support Renly's supremacy. After all this is done, he will calmly exit the Western Territory with a lot of spoils …It not only fattened itself, but also weakened the opponent, and when we returned to Hejian, we would be invincible!"

Chapter 192 Survival in Troubled Times

The sales of obsidian products are unimaginable. Even in the modern society without magic and paying attention to science before time travel, the selling point of "exorcism" has been recognized and bought by countless people, let alone this ignorant man who really has magic. world?

After the sales department made as accurate a market research as possible, the price of "Longjing products" was finally determined.

Ordinary obsidian fragments are ground off the edges and corners that are easy to scratch people, and made into obsidian beads that are smaller than grapes and have irregular shapes. They are named "Dragon Crystal Granules" on top and sell for ten copper The main selling point is that "poor people are also afraid of ghosts, and they are qualified to ward off evil spirits without money"; and after carving, polishing, and polishing, they are made into various shapes and fancy shapes, and even have holes that can be threaded and hung around the neck. "Dragon Crystal Jewelry", the price is between five silver deer and ten silver deer. Even if there is no such thing as evil spirit protection, the polished and shiny obsidian itself is not a bad pendant, and soon became the most popular item among the middle and upper class. One of the accessories.

The above pricing is aimed at the common people and the well-off two classes.After letting people witness the existence of ghouls with their own eyes and feel fear, use a price that is stuck at a price that they "feel expensive but affordable" to ensure that obsidian sales and individual profits are near the most delicate and perfect balance point, ensuring that the vigil Maximize the interests of the industry.

As for the most mysterious... It is said that "military obsidian", such as dragon crystal arrows, daggers and spear points, can only be obtained through "special channels" such as internal staff of the Night Watchman Office, garrison officers, and a very small number of gangsters. products, the price will not be capped.From forty or fifty to hundreds of silver deer, it all depends on the eloquence of the salesperson and the degree of "stupid people with a lot of money" of the buyer-you know, the spear used to kill the ghoul that day sold nearly [-] The high price of Jinlong.

The uncountable reserves of natural glass on Dragonstone Island are dug out and transported to the industrial park, where they are processed by master workers and sold to the citizens of Junlin. In these links, the biggest cost is labor, and the most distressing thing is how to prevent Workers smuggled obsidian out of the industrial park... This is a real bonus.As a "useless resource" that has never attracted attention, obsidian is only produced in large quantities in Dragonstone Island in the whole of Westeros for the time being. This makes Iger have no competitors, and the degree of huge profits is even higher than that of paper printing.

It is always necessary to pay back when you come out to mess around. The lesson of Slynt being overthrown and beheaded by the Night Watchman Industry while sitting on the wealth of tens of thousands of golden dragons is just around the corner. Don't forget to let the defense team and hooligans who are actually useful to you take the initiative to come to your door to drink some soup. , and the existence that can make his subordinates eat and drink spicy food can establish a long-term influence.

***

Because of making too much money, Iger even started to feel a little guilty-Stannis Baratheon allowed him to mine obsidian on Dragonstone Island at will, in response to Ed Stark's request to provide weapons for the Great Wall, But now he is making money like crazy with obsidian. What if he has no money, no rights, is not treated by the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, and has no "filial piety" of his own? ... If you put up any blockade and control, it will be over.

This is likely to measure the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but doing business is for peace of mind. Iger began to try to visit Stannis, thinking that by giving him benefits such as a share of the obsidian industry and dividends, he would make him feel at ease. Don't worry... Anyway, with this guy's temper, he probably won't be so greedy that the lion will open his mouth.

It's a pity that the Minister of the Sea has been busy leading the Dragonstone Island fleet to deal with the swarming pirates and mercenary ships these days, so Iger's people rushed several times but failed to find them.

Renly Baratheon and Margaery Tyrell left King's Landing quietly, and the Stormland army turned back from the road to the battlefield in the west without warning and approached King's Landing... In the absence of Arya, the little intelligence agent Under the circumstances, Iger was not able to hear the explosive news at the first time, but fortunately it was not too late: as the garrison began to recruit new recruits in King's Landing, Ed Stark called up the remaining troops of the king's princes for the second time, Iger, as the umbrella and godfather in the eyes of half of the golden robes, is one of the most powerful people among the "non-nobles" in the capital of the Seven Kingdoms.
