Chapter 471

Chapter 471 Pay is rewarded"You are insulting me, Miss Greyjoy." Igor icily He spoke again, not only changing the address to a more distant and formal one, but also no longer the previous easy-going and friendly tone, "Since you have no subjective intention, I can pretend that you didn't say what you just said. Our conversation is over. , please go back to your room and rest. Tonight is the last night you are eligible to stay in the inner castle, tell the guards your decision in the morning - whether or not to discount the Lightbringer. As for now, I will continue to work."
said After all, he straightened up in his chair, took the first copy of the documents stacked on the table, opened it, and pretended to start reviewing it, showing with practical actions that his Expulsion Order was not just nothing serious.
Asha stood awkwardly at the table, the straps of her leather jacket splayed down by her side, shaking with shame and anger all over her body.
As the princess of the Iron Islands, the most famous female captain of all time and the only woman to ever take part in the Kingsmoot...with her experience, status, status, and looks, even a prisoner is lined up The suitor of the team, when do you need to seduce a man by appearance?
No one knows how much shame and disgust she overcame to make this decision, but what she can't think of anyway is: oneself, Yara Grejoy, daughter of Kraken, on the cusp Pearl, to put forward this condition with the consciousness of at all costs will be said to be an insult!
Who is insulting whom?
(Is the inexperienced oneself coming up with the deal in the wrong place, or the Dragon Queen's beauty raises his eyes, or...the rumor that this guy likes boys is true?)
Which is the reason It doesn't matter, and figuring it out won't help Asha get out of the predicament she's facing - her head went blank for a moment, then filled with shame and anger. But after standing for a few seconds, she still forcibly digested the urge to "kick over the table" with her unimaginable endurance and sacrifice.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. As a party to ask for help, even if you are humiliated thousands of times, you have to bite your teeth, let alone just be rejected?
She loosens her clenched fist and finds that her fingernails have pierced her palms, but it's just a superficial wound...Raising her hands to find the loose top straps, Asha re-threads the ropes and knots like nothing happened , as if tormenting oneself on purpose, fiercely tightens the last line, restores oneself to the way it was when you entered the door, and activates an alternative plan—a road full of thorns and risks compared to the main plan.
"Please forgive my offense, I take back my previous excessive demands." Even if you are refused to go to bed with you, you have to apologize to the other party. What kind of realistic magicism and extraordinary shame and humiliation is this? Asha doesn't know whether oneself should laugh or growl at the moment, but for the lofty goal of building a prosperous Iron Islands, she pushes oneself - neither. "With the Ironmen not helping in the Night's Watch war against the Others, or even causing trouble at the critical moment, I have no position to force Lord Commander to support my ideals. But I believe you have no reason to refuse my next request."
She held her head up and said the request she had made months ago: "I am now officially applying to you, the Night's Watch Legion Lord Commander, to join the Night's Watch Legion!"
You must get into the winner's car. Since you can't sit in the car, the roof or the bottom of the car is also acceptable!
Igor looked up from the document and glanced coldly at the applicants again.
He was indeed annoyed by Asha's self-recommended pillow seats that were full of inexplicable confidence and superiority, but he wasn't as angry as he appeared to be. The reason why he placed the Expulsion Order cruelly and immediately was just an excuse to save a lot of talk about the original plan.
didn't expect, Asha was able to recognize the situation so quickly, and resolutely gave up the previous price that did not impress oneself, and instantly oneself reduced the price to a level that seemed reasonable and not excessive.
However, even this "not too much" one, Igor is not going to agree. This is a buyer's market, and he can now make many choices, completely taking the initiative and not caring about the seller's feelings and thoughts at all.
Put on black clothed and become oneself. As a high-ranking noble with a certain cultural level and ability to manage and command, Asha, by convention, is impossible to start from a soldier. Once she has given up this step, it is a small matter for her to be eligible to continue living in Neibao, and it is the biggest hidden danger that she can be a little unsatisfied and climb up to the management.
Igor has a major event to do, impossible to wrestle with the Kraken's daughter all day, day and night on guard against her abusing her position and embezzling public funds for the benefit of the Iron Islands...don't pester her, give her nothing Fantasy is the best option.
"My answer remains the same, Miss Greyjoy." He held the pen and maintained a cold expression: "Night's Watch Legion does not recruit female soldiers."
"Don't take that as a prevarication. Me." Asha let out a sigh and regained her original confident expression: "Arya has told me, you promised her earlier - that you will open up gender restrictions after the war and recruit her as the first female Night's Watch, To help her get rid of her fiancé!"
Damn, this damn child really didn't cut off contact with Asha!
Igor couldn't hold back his face, but this wasn't a major new discovery that surprised him: Queenscrown is a real "oneself's place", with subordinates who can act as ears and eyes, inside and out, and there are many more inside the city wall. Not even a mouse could deceive him. Arya continued to hang out with Asha despite the warning, thinking that she was doing it secretly, but it was already known, he just gradually realized that Asha really did not mean anything, so he turned a blind eye on it.
Originally thought they were just learning from each other's sword technique to improve each other's skills and pass the time, who knew that girls could really talk about everything!
Although I scolded Arya in my heart, Igor not only couldn't get angry, but suddenly a tenderness and apology rose in the mind: This cheap recipe is one of the few Igor in this world without blood relatives. People who are not full of "pay-to-benefit ratio" when they get along. She was tag-a-long because she liked oneself, but she chased after Queenscrown - but oneself was busy all day, and she wanted a prisoner to accompany her!
Apologetic for guilt, but this tenderness is personal to Arya, who doesn't just flood with compassion and love the house. If Asha thought that moving Miss Stark out would make oneself relax, she made a big mistake!
He, Igor West, has been able to mix in this world from nothing to today, not relying on his conscience.
I was cold again, ready to refuse to answer for the Nth time or even call the guard to expel the visitor, but Asha stopped and continued to make concessions: "I will not rely on the identity of Night's Watch after joining. Instead, I will leave the land grant as soon as possible and try to deal with my Uncle...and all the expenses and expenses of this activity are deducted from the value of the 'Lightbringer' that you originally intended to reward my younger brother. .If I can't get the money after I run out, I will exile myself and never go back to Westeros in this life, never to appear in front of you Lord Commander again!"
Oh? The "No" that had reached his lips was swallowed by Igor. He turned oneself's heartbeat out and re-examined it, realizing that oneself's intuitive understanding was correct: Asha didn't try to pay a small price for big rewards this time. in return, but intends to end up as a Kinslayer -- oneself to assassinate Euron Crow's Eye, in revenge for killing his father.
Night's Watch is inappropriate for either doing or supporting the event, but Igor doesn't take "it's right" to heart. In addition to not declaring war, the land grant is currently in a state of de facto war with the Iron Islands... not to mention that he will soon send out the declaration of war like a candy. No matter how much Asha struggles personally, he will not make the situation worse!
If she failed, she probably went but never returned...Igor will feel regret and regret for this, but never heartache.
And once it succeeds, Iron Fleet will be leaderless, and Igor will hold the last Greyjoy in the world...Even if she is a girl, it will be enough to make controlling the Iron Islands countless times easier than before - that broken place, Of course it is stupid to fight hard for it, but if you give it for nothing, whoever doesn't want it is a fool!
The most important thing is: no matter what the outcome is, the plan of oneself Nanzheng will not be affected!
Igor threw the pen on the table and leaned back in his chair, not reiterating his Expulsion Order, but looking towards the woman again.
Different from before, this time, he is no longer looking at a man looking at a woman, but thinking coldly and analyzing the pros and cons. Looking at the other party's actions and realizing that the playful Asha sighed in relief, he finally stopped putting forward additional conditions for concessions, but stood quietly, letting the other party's eyes wander on oneself... Waiting for the final judgment.
After half a minute, Igor had a rough idea of the whole thing.
"It's possible, but I have to decide the rules." He opened his mouth expressionlessly, but decided to continue bargaining: "For the time being, set the value of a 'Lightbringer' as 10,000 Golden Dragon, I Will order - allow you to use the resources of the land grant within this limit, seek manpower and material support. But everything must first be reported to the Night's Watch official, and I will review and approve. I will convert these assistance into monetary amounts, from you It will be deducted from the account.”
10,000 Golden Dragon is of course a high number, but it’s not that I don’t feel bad about taking out the cash. The key is: the value of the help provided is entirely up to him. It will be the market price of Queenscrown... She wants a dagger, a pair of shoes, and Igor can give her a Golden Dragon too!
"Besides that, your request to join Night's Watch...the order has to be changed as well." Igor continued, "You have to pay for a reward. If it doesn't work out, I won't admit this negotiation. Existed or sent you to assassinate Euron Greyjoy - well, not actually sent by me - and you have to go incognito and disappear from the public without my permission... I'll only announce it publicly when it's done Change the Night's Watch recruiting rules and recruit you as the first female Night's Watch."
Arya dreams of being the first female Night's Watch, but if Igor dares to oneself just to "Mad King's daughter" "At this juncture after the oath of allegiance, I ran to ask Miss Stark, "Hey, do you still want to be the first female Night's Watch?", she would definitely be slapped by her...
Of course, the harsh conditions announced It's over, it's time to look forward to it. After all, if Asha really gets rid of the major threat of Euron...oneself is one of the biggest beneficiaries, there is no need for conscience, but at least a little, or let others think that oneself has a little.
"After you've managed to get the madman out, I'll have a 'March to the Iron Islands' on the agenda...but your status and prestige are no longer suitable for rulership, so, Iron Islands The Countess is doomed to miss you. But at least I can convince the Queen that you will be the Iron Islands Magister and have all ruling powers except 'ownership'."
"You will not be the Iron Islands Master, your descendants are mostly hanging, and House Greyjoy is likely to step down from the stage of history to the audience, but as compensation, I will find a way to help you lead the Iron Islands from the old road of plundering to prosperity. Um... It's a modest reward, but if you're as selfless and great as you've just claimed, then this should be the right price."
…
This is a little worse than the worst result expected by oneself, but it's a little bit on the acceptable psychological bottom line, and it can't take any advantage - even in the case that oneself successfully kills oneself's pro Uncle.
She felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
That's right, the person in front of her is the bastard in her impression, but it is precisely this calculus and the unwillingness to bear and endure any senseless risks and losses, and this agreement seems to be very sincere. ... Similarly, isn't it that by fair means or foul and everything can be counted to death, oneself intuitively affirms: he will be the final winner?
Also, from the time with Arya and the small talk, Asha actually knew the other side of Igor that no one knew.
In dealing with him, it's best not to try to take advantage of conspiracy - but as long as he fulfills the contract obediently and honestly, treats him with sincerity, and does not have two hearts, he will never let his friends suffer.
The most important thing is: stand on the winner's side, and then have a chance to compare the gains and losses!
took a deep breath, Asha gnashing teeth spit out a word from the crevice of his mouth: "Deal!"
