Chapter 372

Chapter 372 twists and turns (middle)It seems that Queen is impatient, Igor hesitated for a while and decided to ignore it Two consecutive accidents still go according to plan: "North, Others who have not appeared in thousands of years are coming to the city with a dead army, and an unprecedented war is about to start. Night's Watch has made countless preparations for it, and now there is only one thing that has not yet been put in place - a certain A substance that can restrain Others is now being manufactured day and night in the Night's Watch Industrial Park, which is expected by everyone."
Petyr would never guess that the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, who is harmless to humans and animals in front of him, is oneself. The originator of the note incident that I wanted to find. At this moment, Littlefinger has not had time to conceive any conspiracy other than "stabilizing his position as Hand of the Queen" in his stomach - he frowned, only thinking that another opponent trying to persuade the Queen to postpone the attack on King's Landing appeared: "So, You want us to hold off our attack on King's Landing to avoid spilling over the Night's Watch industry? Impossible! Queen Your Majesty has been back in Westeros for a while, if you don't hurry up and try to prove oneself..."
"Lord Petyr." Igor remembered that the industrial park was still in its infancy when Littlefinger defected overseas. His impression of the Night's Watch industry was probably still at the first office opposite Dongying of the garrison in King's Landing. "The Night's Watch Industrial Park is not in King's. In Landing, and a few miles southwest of the city, next to Blackwater Rush and surrounded by high walls painted black. Because it is close to King's Landing, it can't be pointed out on the map... But in actual combat, as long as the army commander Ken Order in advance, the soldiers are impossible to confuse it with the real target!"
…
Petyr relieved and stopped interjecting. He is now focusing all his energy on convincing the Queen to attack the capital of the Seven Kingdoms as soon as possible. As long as Igor is not here to oppose oneself on this point, he will naturally not appear to question the visitor like Varys. People are good friends, this is Petyr's principle of life, even more how is a character like Igor with certain power and resources? Having more friends is a good way to go, and for a high-level chess player like Littlefinger... "friends" have several layers of value and meaning more than ordinary people: every time you make one, there is one more unlucky person who can squeeze out the value at the critical moment. , a scapegoat that can be sold, a sacrifice that can be offered.
"I see." Daenerys could also roughly hear what Igor wanted, "You hope that in the process of taking back King's Landing, I can try my best to avoid affecting the industrial park you mentioned, so as not to delay it. Night's Watch produces the kind of substance that 'restrains the Others'."
"Your Majesty is wise." Igor found that even after standing here for a few minutes, he still couldn't adjust, and he kept going straight. Ignore her strong aura when looking at Daenerys, "Night's Watch Legion resists all enemies of the living and protects the kingdom of Westeros itself - whoever sits on the Iron Throne never wants to rule the scorched earth and Seven Kingdoms of the ghouls. I believe that with the wisdom and reasonableness of the Dragon Queen, I will understand the starting point of Night's Watch's efforts and agree to this small request that does not harm your interests at all."
" You're very good at flattering others, Lord Commander, but it's useless to me." The Queen smiled, this is a lie, she has heard a lot of flattery and more gorgeous than this, "I won't forget, if Night's Watch can't stop the dead, and the first to suffer is North, and North supports my enemy."
Daenerys just smiled casually, but in the eyes of men, she seemed to gather all the moving things in the world at once. If it is said that she is very good-looking and has a very good temperament in her normal state, then this dynamic expression turns these two ten into a hundred percent temptation. Igor never thought: "Smile and be beautiful" can There is such a vivid deduction of true person.
In contrast to the strong physical attraction, there is a sudden strong psychological fear: Igor suddenly found that oneself actually had a "put aside all long-term plans and knelt down under the Dragon Queen's skirt. Lick the dog, put all the resources and power of oneself into the game, and do everything in her power to win the Iron Throne for her - just for a kiss." The self-control of "controlling and hanging" that he was once proud of, was so fragile in front of the daughter of the plane's real... no, the real charm cheat!
Igor suddenly thought of a statement that seemed to have nothing to do with the status quo: In online games, free players are also part of the gaming experience for paying players.
In the huge magical world of ice and fire, in the big game of chess between Lord of Light and the old enemy, will oneself play the role of the free player and tool man, and fight with all their might? All, to pave the way for Daenerys to be part of the "service" offered to the real Child of Prophecy after meeting Daenerys today and falling in love with her?
The kind of love that oneself is experiencing at the moment...the unrepressible love of reason, is it caused by the interference of R'hllor on the subconscious level?
Fortunately, even if the guess is true, being charmed is not the same as being manipulated, at least Igor still has control over his body, at least he still senses something is wrong, and not like Jorah Mormont, Daario Naharis and the like - unbearable Completely immersed in it unconsciously.
"Lord Varys, I heard that your eyes and ears are all over Westeros, and your intelligence-gathering ability is unrivaled in Seven Kingdoms." The throbbing in his heart when he looked directly at Daenerys was so strong that Igor had to divert his attention. "You haven't forgotten that a year ago, Night's Watch Legion captured 'living' ghouls and sent them to King's Landing for the Seven Kingdoms dignitaries to witness with their own eyes. ."
Varys impossible lied about something as everyone knows... He kept smiling nodded: "It is true."
"Ghouls are not afraid of ordinary weapons Attacking, piercing the heart, cutting off limbs, and even cutting off the head can't kill you completely, is it true?"
"True." I am amazed by the splendid and grand commercial performance, Lord Commander, relying on the good show of 'Execution of ghouls' and the subsequent crazy sale of obsidian products to make huge profits, you have made more money this year than you All the grants and donations received during the ten-year tenure of the previous tenure are more than all."
"This is my ability, and I didn't steal a single penny from the Queen. Besides, Why didn't Lord Varys mention: I've killed more Others than the top 997 Lord Commanders combined? War is a waste of money, and every penny earned by Night's Watch Legion selling obsidian will be Invested in the defense of the Wall." Igor said confidently, and he was not guilty of this, "Queen Your Majesty, you said that North was supporting your enemy, which cannot be refuted. But House Stark called North's army, It can't exceed 30,000 in the sky... Do you want to fight against these 30,000 ordinary people who can be killed by swords and can be reduced by plague, hunger and fear? A million impervious to sword and spear, tireless ghouls who will never stop until they kill all the living people in the world?"
"But I heard ghouls are afraid of fire." Daenerys disagreed "It's a pity that Drogon, Rhaego, and Viserion have all gone out to hunt, otherwise, I'd be happy to show Lord Commander the dragon flames. . "
"I heard that the flame spit from the dragon's mouth came from the fluid secreted by a gland in the chest, and I have never had a chance to verify it. "Igor responded without hesitation, "But whether true or not, I believe that the dragon It's definitely impossible to breathe fire without limit. One million ghouls, three dragons can't burn even if they spit out the acid water in their stomachs. Maybe you can burn one and two, and take a two-day break every time you kill tens of thousands of ghouls, but when the ghouls cross The Neck and enter the Riverlands and Crownlands and Reach, one million will soon become two million, Five million...in the end, death will engulf the world, leaving only a useless iron chair that no one will contend with anymore. "
"Sigh—" Daenerys stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled, "Lord Commander, your eloquent name is not in vain, but at this critical moment, it is still Save your stubborn energy. Your request is not excessive, but ordering the army to bypass your small garden when attacking King's Landing seems like a simple matter, but in practice it will waste a lot of time and energy of my officers. So I want something in return, and like your request to me, this is no effort at all for you, but it means a lot to me. "
The little Queen rose from the rough stone throne where Stannis, her past ancestor and now enemy, sat, and walked slowly and gracefully down the steps: "I want you to take the Lord Commander's name." Identity, openly declare to the noble lords of Westeros, that the Night's Watch Legion recognizes me as the sole rightful ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. ”
