Chapter 143 Base

Robert has not yet returned to King's Landing, but his decree has been People brought back the capital of the Seven Kingdoms. Just like Igor was appointed as the Night's Watch of the army two months ago - the king can forget what oneself has said and issued orders, but the people who hear it, who are responsible for issuing the orders, especially those who receive the will are not Never leave things behind.

Robert's decision on the handling of the Pyromancer Guild has been handed down to the "wise men" of the Alchemist Guild through various channels.

Two old men entered the house, one was Pyromancer Dak, whom Igor knew, and the other was an old man who was older than the former and trembled when he walked.

"Good afternoon, two wise men." Igor put away his troubles and smiled brightly: "If you don't come, I'm about to come to visit, please take a seat."

>

"hmph!" The older Pyromancer pulled his chair and sat down with an indignantly face.

"Lord Igor, this... is the wise man in Harlem, and he is my Senior Brother." Duck didn't have such a big temper, he sat down quietly, and politely introduced his companions to Night's Watch. identity, and then no more words.

"The chief logistics officer has great ability." The wise man of Harlem said with trembling lips, spitting angrily: "Our Alchemist guild has been reduced to such a desolate appearance now, do you still dislike it? It's not bad enough, to get us to The Wall? Are you sincerely killing us old fogeys!"

"The wise men had a meeting to discuss and reached an agreement - going to the Wall, absolutely not, anyway An old bone, at worst beheaded..." Duck had a relationship with Igor, and he was not so impatient: "I said, Lord Igor, you want Wildfire, there are so many in the cellar, you can use it for free. , why bother bringing this to Your Majesty, and we can't get along with the old fogeys?"

......

It turned out to be the case, Igor was wondering why the two old men were so aggressive, Immediately relieved: "Two wise men, where did this come from, when did I -- when did I say I was going to get you to The Wall?"

"Don't play stupid! Just today, the people of King Robert Come and send the order, asking us to seal the Wildfire as soon as possible, leave it to the assistant to manage, and all the people who will make Wildfire go north to work for Night's Watch. The Little White face who came to send the letter said - let us ask you specifically , it's all up to you - you dare say it's not your fault?!"

"Well, this is really my fault." Igor paused and waved his hand: "Wait a minute. Come on, what do you call a ghost. I did ask the king Your Majesty for the assistance of the Alchemist Guild... But - who said that serving the Night's Watch is going to the Wall? I didn't want to kill a few wise men, I wanted to A chance for you to regain decency, respect, and let your knowledge and abilities shine and contribute to Westeros!"

Harlem stared, "Don't talk big! From King Robert. The messenger said, let us follow your instructions. Once we leave this King's Landing, will we still be in your hands? I would like to ask, if we don't go to the Wall, how can we serve Night's Watch?"

＊＊＊

Igor laughed, the beginning should always be: "Nina, bring me the North map."

"Yes, my lord. ”

little girl diligently ran to the cabinet by the wall to rummage, looking at her hard-working back, Igor secretly si ghed then said. For such a girl, it is really overkill to keep oneself by your side as a secretary, but you can't find a suitable person to replace it with ease. In the current Westeros, where can you find so many beautiful girls who are exceptionally intelligent and diligent and smart? In addition to being too small and mischievous, Arya barely meets the requirements, and Margaery has a mind far beyond the standard, but these noble ladies are willing, patient, and their family let them run to the Night's Watch office to fight for people?

While thinking about it, Nina brought what he wanted: "Sir, do you want to open it?"

"Well, open it."

Things that were disordered and in a mess on the table were dusted to one side, the A2-sized North map was spread out, and the rolled edges were held down with weights. The entire North, including The Wall, is displayed on the desk of the Night's Watch office.

 …

"Two wise men, what I say next, please go back and pass it on to the other wise men," Igor said, pointing to the edge of the map and following the A dashed line: "Beyond the wall, this is the northernmost point of the Seven Kingdoms, The Wall. The three major strongholds of Night's Watch, nineteen castles, and nearly a thousand soldiers are all distributed on this line. Most of us have family possessions. It's an irrefutable fact that it's all focused on the Wall, two wise men who heard that they were going to serve Night's Watch, they thought they were going to the Wall, which is excusable, I totally understand it, but it wasn't my plan."

Knowing that they are not going to the Wall, the mood of the two old men has stabilized a lot, and the wise man in Harlem is obviously not shaking his lips or trembling. This old slick, whose qualifications in the Pyromancer are obviously higher than Dak, who Igor has known for a long time, he asked: "Then where are we going and what are we going to do, please let the Chief Logistics Officer explain it clearly!"

"From The Wall to the south, from the mountain range on the west coast, to the continuous plains along the coast of the Bay of Seals, is an area called Land Grant, which spans hundreds of miles. North and Iron Throne To support Wall's defense, the ruler of the lands permanently gifted this land to the Night's Watch Legion." Igor gestured on the map, pointing out the place: "The land itself, including the crops on the ground and the burial beneath it. All resources belong to Night's Watch, and the residents living in it will pay taxes to Night's Watch in the form of goods or labor to help us maintain our livelihood."

"Sir, these are all as Everyone knows." Harlem interrupted him by knocking on the table, "I understand what you mean, serving Night's Watch doesn't necessarily mean going to the Wall, it's okay to just donate land, but what's the difference? ?The land grant is an uninhabited land that is so cold to death. You may not meet people if you run for a day on horseback, and from time to time wildlings run around to burn, kill and loot! A bunch of fifty-sixty old fogeys passed by and could live for a few days ?"

Igor sat up straight: "The difference is huge. Indeed, the land grant is vast and sparsely populated, but this is mainly caused by wildling harassment. The climatic environment of the land grant itself is better than beyond the The wall is much better, the wall blocks the cold winds of the Lands of Always Winter, which makes the temperature on the south side of the wall much warmer than on the north side of the wall, and although it snows occasionally, it does not freeze to death.”

Two It is a nonsense that a 100-meter-high wall can block the cold air, but it is a fact that the land grant is warmer than the wall. Anyway, the Pyromancers don’t understand geography and meteorology, and they just fool around: “There are mountains, water, and fertile soil. The crops can be grazing, not to mention the people. What I want the wise to do is to find a place to settle down in the land grant, and provide the Night's Watch Legion with a continuous Wildfire to defend against wildling attacks. Night's Watch asks for the wise men, Would you intentionally freeze the old people, or watch you being hacked to death by wildling?"

"Looking for a place to settle down? I haven't even been to the old fogey in North, how can I find a place? square? "Harlem's eyes widened: "Don't go around trying to sell things!" Hurry up and say your arrangement, or we will not go anywhere if we don't give our old bones proper settlement and treatment! "

"Good! Igor also didn't want to talk nonsense with the two old fogeys. If you have money in your pocket, you must be tough. He pointed with his hand: "The place I chose for the wise men of the Alchemist guild is Queenscrown." "

"Queenscrown? "The Queen's Crown... What kind of place is this place? It looks like a great place, but I have never heard of it.

"This is a place in the Core Zone in the center of Night's Watch territory, not far from Kingsroad. "Igor introduced: "Queen Alysanne · Targaryen once slept in the tower here, so the residents painted the top of the tower in golden, looking like wearing a crown, hence the name. "

"How many people live in this place, is it fully furnished, and is there a house with food, drink, and insulation?" "

"Because of wildling's harassment, the residents here have run away, leaving only empty houses and an uninhabited village." ” Igor explained, but then added: “But I will rebuild here! I will send people to go north first, recruit masons and other construction workers in North, renovate the houses and towers here, build walls, and build this place as the first stronghold of the Night's Watch logistics department, so that it can provide a warm and safe place to live, and There is a place configured to make Wildfire, and after all this is done, the wise men of the Alchemist Guild are the first to be stationed. In the foreseeable future, Queenscrown will become Westeros, and even the only Wildfire production place in this world. This weapon, ignored and despised by King Robert and the people of the south, will shine again in the Wall defense battle north of the North after countless years, and the wise men of the Alchemist guild will also be far away from King's Landing in the north, Reclaim dignity and reuse! ”
