Chapter 478 Changes in the Wind and CloudsHe is clearly a leader of a party with a heavy burden on his shoulders, but his mouth is full of love As soon as the chicken soup words like "Guard her silently for the rest of my life" are a novel-like line, Igor suddenly felt that everything he ate at noon was churning in his stomach.
Although even oneself finds it disgusting, the funny thing is: the more bloody, disgusting and idealized things are, for an honest man like Jon who has never seen the world... no, for an honest and selfless gentleman, but more effective. After listening to Igor's comprehensive analysis from two perspectives, Jon sat there for a long time without saying a word, and finally gritted his teeth nodded, determined to start to be a tragic watcher.
Igor kept the trouble down—for now. But it is conceivable that if Greenseer's move really has no plans, he will inevitably try to make Jon change his mind through constant hints at the subconscious level, or simply use the power of the people around him: through the mouths of Catelyn Stark and the like. , from the side to spread the news, continue to interfere!
This matter is not over yet, but how to solve it in the end, Igor has no idea for the time being - in order to guard against the unexpected, he added one last sentence before Jon left, telling him "If you change your mind, I will find you again. oneself, by oneself to introduce him to the Queen".
After sending Commander Castle Black away, Igor let out a breath and leaned back in his chair, only to find that his back was slightly wet with sweat - he originally thought oneself just had to convince Jon to follow through. , served as the pioneer in the middle of this "expedition", but suddenly encountered such a big moth. Unprepared and unprepared to play tricks on the spot, Rao is really a big test for an old Jianghu like him.
Putting aside the stack of papers spread out on the table, Igor decided to relax. He stood up, pushed open the door, waved his hand under the watchful eyes of the guards to indicate that oneself did not intend to go, and then stood on the second layer balcony of the office building, leaning on the railing and blowing the cold wind, while breathing the cold fresh air, he began to restart the Organize your thoughts.
He thought about it before: go to two red robe priests for consultation, but when he got outside, his brain was cooled down, but he changed his mind.
As the high priests of the Temple of the Red God, Melisandre and Moqorro are quite reliable sorcerers and believers organizers, both in battle and in daily life...but they are fanatical believers in the dualistic world view , and the work habit of "seeing the message from the flame and then interpreting it by yourself, and firmly believe in the interpretation of the result", are doomed that they are not reliable accomplices and trustworthy advisers. This is not only a personal judgment, but it can be seen in the original plot. .
If oneself ran over now and asked these two guys: "I think this Greenseer is doing a ghost, what should I do?" The two gods probably will not think about it, and they will directly suggest oneself to eradicate heresy, Convert to the Lord of Light to protect yourself from demons.
First of all, this is Bran Stark after all.
Whether it's his oneself or Greenseer, or both, who is controlling his actions now, can't change the fact that he's a Stark, unless it's determined to get rid of him and done. Be prepared to deal with the consequences, or you must not act rashly.
In addition, even without thinking about it, whether the two red robe priests can deal with Greenseer, there is still a considerable question mark.
I can't tell why, but Igor has this intuition based on oneself's personal experience and experience: Melisandre and Moqorro are just people who know Magic, while Greenseer has really transcendence. The mortal level... If the ordinary person is 1, then the Red God priests are at most 1.5, while the Greenseer starts at 2. Bran is half a level higher than the two red robe priests in the basic level! Can the two-to-one advantage in quantity close the gap at this level?
In the end, even though I don't quite believe it, Igor couldn't rule out the possibility: maybe things weren't so complicated, Bran and Catelyn really just wanted Jon to live perfectly clear to tell him the truth, but oneself... …Darkness in the heart, everything seems to have ulterior motives.
Or, go straight to Bran and talk to him honestly?
The problem is, this is different from negotiating the way to deal with Others, even if Bran says "yes, you think too much", can oneself believe?
I'm afraid not.
With a wry smile, Igor realized that oneself had fallen into the trap of suspicion: even if the person whom oneself suspected had no malicious intent, or even really had no malice, oneself could not rest assured.
This is probably the helplessness of the superior.
While sighing, a messenger suddenly ran up the stairs gasping for breath, and before standing still, he began to report the situation: "Lord Commander! The Unsullied troops that landed at Eastwatch have arrived at Queenscrown. It's outside the city, and the guards have temporarily closed the gate, waiting for your instructions!"
...
"Oh? So fast!"
Igor slightly Surprisingly, he did receive a report from Eastwatch about the Unsullied landing last night, but didn't expect to see someone today... In terms of time, this unit almost only rested for one night, and immediately stopped non-stop. When I rushed here, the marching speed was even higher than that of the best troops under oneself. It is indeed the elite who can make any land troops in the world of ice and fire change their color.
"Since you're here, call the Master and come meet me."
Igor's mood improved a little, and now that everything is messed up, it's not all the news that makes people nervous .
In order to ensure the safety of Daenerys and the injured Demon Dragon, and to ensure that no cat or dog can talk nonsense in front of the Queen, the defender he left in the last Hearth is his most trusted Night's Watch industry Guards - these are both military trained and somewhat versed in the art of war, most of them are literate, and can be used as soldiers as well as middle and low-level officers... The essence forces that are enough to support the framework of the entire land-grant army are now half Being pinned down on this single-person guard mission, it is overkill.
Unfortunately, neither the mountain clan, the new land-grantee nor the Night's Watch in the land grant can replace them to undertake this simple but inconsiderate mission.
Of course, a small group of Unsullied will not bring decisive strength to the land-grant army of the Southern Expedition, but it can take over the important work of protecting the Queen but spend most of the time in vain, liberating Hundreds of Industrial Guard soldiers made the available manpower in Igor's hands a lot more comfortable.
With the good mood of receiving reinforcements, Igor rushed to the north city wall of Queenscrown with oneself's guards energetically and bustling after a while, ordered the guards to open the gate and greeted them.
Even if they just waited, the Unsullied made a perfect phalanx in the field outside Queenscrown, which made it a lot easier for outsiders to count their numbers: Igor swiped and counted them. There were at least four hundred people out. Knowing that the weather in the north is cold, they put on thicker winter combat uniforms when they set out from the south, but they still underestimated the temperature in Wall. After Eastwatch landed, they had to borrow Night's Watch coats from Cotter Pyke. A black robe draped over his body, if not for the conspicuous difference of the helmet, at first glance, I thought it was a Night's Watch elite that appeared out of nowhere.
Igor saw at a glance the petite silhouette standing in front of the Unsullied Army, a little girl who can appear in front of the Unsullied Army, nothing but the Queen's personal squire and the most trusted follower Missandei possible. Daenerys can't bring his followers when riding the dragon north. Although Igor managed to pick two reliable women from the female workers in the industry and transfer them to take care of her diet and daily life, she will never have someone with her oneself who is easy to use. This is what he suggested to Queen. The one who must be called—no one.
Taking a few steps closer, he saw the man next to Missandei in a thermal hood, "one size wider" than anyone else, apparently an Unsullied officer.
Although I can't tell if it's bald, fatty... How many people does Daenerys have? The relaxed expression of the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch a moment ago froze on his face...
An eunuch is bad enough, but when Igor's eyes turn to the one standing between Missandei and the hooded fatty— —Not only the location, but also the height and body shape are between the two. It is an unremarkable man. When he finds out that this is actually a person he knows, he really has to do his best to make his mood not write on his face. came up.
Varys and Littlefinger, the biggest pair of shit sticks in the entire Ice and Fire world and Game of Thrones, actually came to the land grant together? Such a big thing, Cotter Pyke idiot, why didn't you write it clearly in yesterday's letter?
After half a second of roaring in his heart, Igor realized that he was oneself for granted. The Eastwatch commander is not a transmigrator who knows the plot well, and he has never left the Wall after putting on black cloth. He doesn't know these two guys at all, or even though he has heard of them, he doesn't know them at all, which is normal. To expect this thick line to be sensitive enough to be aware of the anomaly and remind oneself of this in a letter is simply to blame the rooster for not laying eggs.
And now, no matter how shocked and confused, he has to brace oneself to greet the visitor.
"Lord Igor, it's nice to see you again." Missandei looked at him curiously again with big, bright, black and white eyes, and said in a clear and high-pitched voice: "We all It was a wise and far-sighted decision to hear that you pledged allegiance to Your Majesty—welcome to the Queen."
Igor face doesn't change with a sincere smile, facing the little clerk. The nominees greeted: "Queenscrown also welcomes you, Miss Missandei, Varys and Lord Petyr, please bring the Unsullied into the city. I have prepared camp and wine and meat to comfort everyone who has come a long way."
"Thank you for your hospitality and generosity, Lord Commander." Petyr Baelish replied with a smile no less than his friendliness, "but today, I'm afraid we have to reject your kindness."
"Every time we delay, the Queen arrives later, and she spends a day or night surrounded by a group of strangers, and thus takes a little more risk of an accident." Missandei didn't give a shit, and quickly explained, "So, we will continue on our way immediately and not enter the city."
"Also ask the adults to send a reliable and reliable guide to take us to the end. Hearth." Varys also shrugged, and interjected unwillingly, "As far as I know, the Umber family's castle is not built right next to Kingsroad, I want to find it in this World of Ice and Snow by feeling and map, It's going to take a lot of detours."
Igor can prevent Bolton's whistleblower from seeing the Queen, but it is impossible to stop the "old employees" who were originally the former's vassals from returning to the Boss. As a new entrant, not only did he have no excuse for refusing reasonable help, but even... under the watchful eyes of most of the Queen, he had to be more active and efficient, so as not to leave excuses for this group of future colleagues .
After some formal retention was unsuccessful, Igor directly picked out a young man who was familiar with the southward route from one of the guards who went out of the city with oneself, and ordered him to join the opposite team and lead the guests. Go to Queen's current temporary home.
The Unsullied switched back to marching mode from a breather with admirable efficiency and orderliness, and with a guide and three leaders on the carriage, they continued southward around Queenscrown in the light of snow. The Tathagata quickly disappeared from sight.
The two shit stirrers went away, taking away the almost faint smell of shit...but Igor wasn't happy at all.
It's a relief that there is no need to stay with people who are afraid and disgusted, but Igor is more aware of the reason why they are so eager to rush to the last Hearth: for the servants In other words, the worst thing is that someone is too far away from the monarch, and gradually loses his sense of presence and influence. Daenerys, who came to give land on a dragon to participate in the battle between people and ghosts, is completely out of touch with her imperial front. During this period of time, she has been completely under the control of Igor. What she can hear, see and even think is all determined by the latter— —eunuch and Littlefinger came to donate the land in person, and they were in such a hurry that they didn’t even want to enter the city to rest. In addition to the defense against oneself, the more important thing was to rush to get back the influence on Queen from the new entrant of oneself. and control!
After enjoying a while of being able to "flick Daenerys · Targaryen alone", the comfortable days are finally over. What's worse is that at the most critical moment when Queenscrown is about to complete the dual preparations for physics and public opinion, oneself can't leave here at all, and "compete for favor" with those two bastards until Hearth.
This means that oneself now has to face not only two shit sticks mixed in between oneself and Queen, but two shit sticks that drag Queen away! And oneself... can only be in Queenscrown, a hundred miles away, helplessly watching the situation develop!
Even more how oneself is not a loyal minister at all? It is conceivable that oneself will let Queen wait for a few more days, and she will join Varys and Petyr, and she will begin to arrange oneself's southern expedition, the big Crownlands plan, and even take off black clothed under the former's side-talking and various hints. Both her determination and her loyalty to herself begin to cast doubt on her! What's more, once these two scumbags also learned about Jon's real life experience, or "learned" North's attitude and plan from the Old Flayer...
Damn, it was all under control. The situation in China, with the occurrence of two accidents and the arrival of two troublesome characters, suddenly has a tendency to get out of control!
No, we can't wait any longer, we must act as soon as possible to eliminate possible troubles and suspicions with facts!
With a sense of tension that I haven't experienced for several days, Igor walked back to Queenscrown with people, intending to make targeted adjustments to the plan and force the southern expedition in advance. Down on the spot... One of the Eastwatch Night's Watch responsible for bringing Unsullied to Queenscrown shouted: "Sir, please wait!"
The soldier who shouted was a rather handsome tall man. A youngster, he trotted over, only to be stopped by Igor's guards a few meters away: "Eastwatch Chief Ranger Ian Immet, instructed by Commander Lord Cotter Pyke, is here to report some special circumstances to you! ”
