Chapter 43 SettlementEveryone said so, the two Night's Watch stopped talking and followed The three of House Lannister's master and servant proceeded along the main cultivation of King's Landing, passed the shoemaker's square and the central square, and then proceeded to the left. Along the gentle slope of Septa Street, they rode a section of the road, and gradually approached the King's Landing. The summit of the lowest of the three hills enclosed by the wall.
With the elevation of the terrain, the surrounding scene soon began to change, the streets began to become more spacious and tidy, pedestrians became more leisurely and decent clothes, and even non-necessities for sale began to appear on both sides of the road— — that is, a luxury store.
Igor soon realized that this is the wealthy area in King's Landing, and the permanent residence of foreigners is probably an expense that oneself absolutely cannot afford. Finally, they stopped in front of a hotel called "Albatross". Following Tyrion's dismounting, Igor looked into the distance and found that the place where oneself stood was already higher than the city wall of King's Landing, which was dozens of meters higher than the lowest point in the city, and under the top of the Rhaenys hills where Dragonpit was located—— The height is just right to greatly reduce the odor, and it will not affect the residents' travel and daily activities too much. It is really a good place.
"Boss, open four rooms, two of my black clothed friends and I will share one room, and two of my squires will have one room. We need to connect them together." Tyrion stepped into the hotel door and familiar Loudly said, the decoration in the hotel is even better than the lobby of Winterfell, Boss obviously knew Imp too, and graciously greeted the servants to bring their horses and luggage, and led the crowd to the second floor.
"You are now the image representative of Night's Watch. You have to pay attention to your clothes when you go out. There are many shops on Septa Street, some sell ready-to-wear, and some can be made to order. I suggest you take the time to get some outfits. Before entering their respective rooms, Tyrion and the two Night's Watch said the last words: "Also, turn right when you go out, and then turn left when you can see the hole on the top of Dragonpit, and you will reach the Street of Silk. Half of the brothels in King's Landing are there, just report my name, you can be cool without money, if oneself doesn't dare to go, I can take you some other day, but today, I'm going to relax oneself's ass first - lie down Maybe it's a good idea to fall asleep, see you later."
...
To be honest, Igor is really excited, he is a normal adult man, and he also needs oneself. It's been a year and a half since he's been in this world, and he's never touched a single woman... The prostitutes in Mole's Town next to Castle Black are part-time village girls. Change?
Qi Nian flashed by, and he quickly snuffed it out. He owed Tyrion a lot of favor and shouldered a heavy responsibility. Where did he get the interest and courage to use other people's money as a client?
Push the door to enter the single room, put away the clothes and luggage, and then go out to the front desk and ask the Boss for a pen and paper. Igor sits down at the small table by the window. King's Landing is a dangerous place, but if you don't go to the Game of Thrones, at least one Night's Watch will be safe for the time being, but if you don't want to go back to Wall's hell, you have to plan your future.
＊＊＊
Watching the people coming, people going on the street, after spending a few minutes adjusting the state, he first wrote down oneself's four missions on paper : Raise supplies, recruit personnel, mine Dragonglass, and improve the image of Night's Watch.
Compared to when he first received these missions, he didn't know where to start. After more than a month of thinking while traveling south, and discussions with Tyrion, he already had some ideas in his heart. And plans, all he has to do now is to jot them down in writing before he gets so dizzy that he forgets them.
First of all, what Igor and Tyrion both agree on is: "Improving the image of Night's Watch" is a mission, which is no different from non-existence: in this age of underdeveloped communications, Southerners are very concerned about Night's Watch. The impression is good or bad, can Night's Watch Legion still send a large number of people to the south to do surveys and statistics?
Whether the mission oneself is concerned or not, only the oneself has a clear mind, and the quality of the completion is completely up to people. To put it bluntly, the only meaning of this mission's existence is in case oneself completes the other three missions well, but Night's Watch Legion still has to cast aside all considerations for face for special reasons. Just an excuse.
As long as the worst doesn't happen, no one will mention it at all.
Igor crossed out the last mission.
There are three missions left, but you have to work hard.
But how is it done? There is a lot of room for activities here. The next time Yoren comes from the Wall to ask for oneself to ask for someone, oneself can't hand over a single one, and he hasn't delivered any supplies to Wall for several months. When the transport ship of Night's Watch arrives at Dragonstone Obsidian mining hasn't started yet... Naturally, these three situations must not occur, otherwise it must be recalled and not discussed, but how many people to pay, how many materials and obsidian can be provided, there are many things in it.
It can't be too little, at least not too little for a long time - if you can't pay the ransom, who can keep you happy outside all the time?
But too much is not enough, people's appetite will be bigger, so will the organization composed of people - the recruits recruited by oneself will make the Night's Watch Legion bigger and bigger, and the bigger and bigger Legion The scale is bound to require more and more supplies to feed, not to mention that the supplies that the North princes can provide to Wall will shrink as winter approaches. A number of factors have determined that the supply gap will inevitably become larger and larger - if oneself leaves the impression that Night's Watch executives can provide as much material as they want, it will be miserable.
The productivity level of this world is there, except for air, water and land, there are basically no particularly rich resources. Even if oneself can really tell the rich and aristocrats of King's Landing to go bankrupt and fully fund Night's Watch, it can't fill the bottomless pit.
The ideal situation is that the supplies, recruits and obsidian provided by oneself are all at a low level that makes Night's Watch executives "dissatisfied, but not enough to recall oneself". One day Wall's request for more supplies will start to rise at a lower starting line.
But where exactly is this safety level, it's up to oneself to grope.
Igor has identified the core idea of working and planned the itinerary: he will first arrange the related affairs of sending Tyrion's "funding" - the oneself "ransom" to Wall, and then rush to Dragonstone Conduct reconnaissance and start-up work for obsidian mining. After these two things are done, go back to King's Landing to recruit people and "raise" the follow-up materials and equipment.
......
After finishing the itinerary, he hesitated for a moment. At the bottom of the paper, he added it in Chinese that people in this world could never understand. Two:
Take off the black clothed.
Thoughts to go home.
Trying to complete the mission Mormont gave to oneself is a means -- a means of stalling time. The purpose of delaying time is to find a way to get out of Night's Watch. He had hoped that Tyrion could do this before, but later found that he had to overcome many difficulties just to leave Wall. As for the removal of his identity... No one had this power at all, and he finally had to figure out a way by himself.
Not only that, he will never forget that oneself is not a person from this world. If possible, he hopes to find the reason why oneself travels to this world, and thinks to travel back.
There is a saying "I'd rather be a dog of peace than a person in a troubled world". For Igor, even being a king in this hellish world of ice and fire is better than being a middle-class in a strong and stable kingdom in the original world.
