Chapter 68 The hapless Jaqen

Tyrion's enthusiasm for the game is beyond imagination, when When Igor wakes up from his sleep, dressed and ready to go to work. He actually took Morris out of the city to find the youngster who made the paper...

Of course, Night's Watch is not ashamed of oneself getting up late, oneself was busy until the middle of the night last night, when it comes to rest In time, I am afraid it is still two or three hours less than dwarf.

At breakfast, he met Yoren, who also woke up very late. This Wandering Crow colleague was really enjoying the heartless life of King's Landing without the constraints of his superiors. When he thought of oneself, he was so busy. What the hell, Igor couldn't help but envy the other party.

"Yulen, I have something to ask you." Igor was sitting in the hotel lobby eating breakfast, and suddenly remembered something: "Didn't you go to the prison a while ago to identify a few recruits? "

"That's right, how?" Wandering Crow walked over and sat down across from his colleagues, and also ordered breakfast: "It's not a felony that I don't expect to be released, and I rarely choose to wear black clothed." A way."

"Is there a man named Jaqen H'ghar."

"There seems to be such a person, how do you know?" The new black clothed, the body does not have that sour smell.

"I just heard that, do you know how he was caught in the black jail?"

"Well, I know, if you recruit someone as a recruit, you can still ask your past history. What." Yoren shrugged: "The two people in his room are murderers with abnormal nerves, crazy, and even scared when I see them. But only this Jaqen, very interesting, he is in the Royal I was caught stealing a book in the library."

"Stealing a book?" Igor became interested, this is a plot that even he doesn't know, what kind of book, needs Braavos to dispatch such a top-level Spy and assassin to steal? He had this doubt and pursued it.

"I don't know, I'm illiterate!"

Forgetting this, Igor smiled and shook his head, but then he had other questions: "I can steal books. This kind of crime should not be locked in a dark prison with a murderer.”

“Hey, do you know where the Royal Library is? Between the White Sword Tower and the Tower of the Hand in Kingsguard, In the Red Keep! The kid who was arrested in the black jail was not charged with 'stealing books', but ' trespassing on the king's residence with misfortune'!" Yoren said, taking pleasure in other people's misfortune: "The reason he was found It's funny - originally, he hid in the corner of the kitchen in the Red Keep during the day, and sneaked into the library at night to find things. I don't know how he stayed in the Red Keep for a few days. But no one else went to borrow books that month, A thin layer of dust gradually accumulated on the book and the ground, leaving him with footprints and handprints. The janitor who was in charge of cleaning noticed that someone had come in and moved the book, so he reported the matter to Kingsguard casually. It was bad luck for that guy, Barristan kept his mind, and went to check with another Kingsguard that night, and sure enough, the only reader was stuck in it, the Royal Library has no windows...the unlucky guy can only obediently surrender."

so that's How it is, Jaqen may indeed be one of the strongest assassins in the world, but he's also impossible and has two Kingsguard fronts - one of which is currently considered the best Swordsman front by Westeros. Putting it that way, Jaqen didn't get caught on purpose, it's even more impossible to go to Night's Watch.

But what was he looking for after spending a few days at the Royal Library?
...

Yoren's breakfast was brought up by the maid, old Wandering Crow gestured to pat Maiden's ass, made her scream and ran away, grabbing a piece of bread and stuffing it in his mouth While chewing, he added: "And most importantly, how long has the former prime minister died? Although he died of illness, isn't this unidentified person who can sneak into the Tower of the Hand less than a hundred feet away? Isn't it suspicious? ? So, this unlucky bastard was sentenced to death, as a burial for the former prime minister."

"It's a coincidence."

"It's a coincidence? Yoren snorted, lowered his voice: "I think, maybe Jon Arryn was killed by this guy or his comrades. This guy looks like a Maester, but the two in the same room as him. Crazy people who eat people but don't spit out bones are afraid of him, why do you think this is?"

"He's very good at fighting."

"I'm afraid not only can fight... Of course, Saying anything is just speculation, just chatting among us oneself. Then again, what if he really killed the Prime Minister, in history, Night's Watch has even been used to kill the king."

Maybe Jaqen really killed a lot of people, but this time he was really wronged, Igor laughed in his heart, such a powerful Faceless Men, unlucky is not the same as an ordinary person.

"You also accepted the other two lunatics?"

"Accept, 'As long as they are willing to put on black clothed, who we will not dislike', Lord Commander said. "

"That kind of lunatic, don't even kill your oneself black clothed brother when the time comes." Igor frowned and said - this kind of tragedy has not never happened in the history of Night's Watch, but also More than once, didn't Mormont later die at the hands of such people.

Yoren shrugged: "I only care about the income. The more people I receive, the better it will be. As for how to train and train, it's up to Lord Commander and Alliser."

"Alas..." Igor shook his head. Although he was forced to accept this attitude, it was difficult for him to agree.

"Don't sigh, next time I come here, I can expect to get a reliable young man from you. Do it well."

"Do your best."

After breakfast, with doubts about Jaqen's infiltration into the library, Igor came to the Night's Watch office as if he were going to work. So far, the facade is still empty and there is nothing, and naturally it is impossible for customers to come. His chief logistics officer is still general without an army until now, and the drawbacks of this have gradually begun to appear: no matter what, he has to do it himself. It's good to do one thing only, once something happens, he can't get away if he wants to.

He also wanted something as good as Bronn, or a loyal squire and sidekick like Podrick Payne, and it would be nice if he could be both loyal and competent...but It's just the beginning, don't rush.

After two notices handwritten by Tyrion were posted on the door of the office, his pupils came to class early.

 …

Arya was brought here by a Wolf Family bodyguard he didn’t know, and the girl had a neat ponytail and a fitted dress apparently made for Winterfell , it's not amazing, but it's enough to make the worried Igor smile knowingly.

This girl takes the words of oneself seriously.

"You wait outside." Arya said to the guard who accompanied oneself, and then looked at the master of oneself eagerly: "As you said, when do we start?"

"Please sit down - does Duke Stark know Miss Arya is here?" Igor did not answer the girl's words directly, but asked the Winterfell guard politely. After he got a positive answer, he looked towards oneself's little discipline: "Okay, come with me."

The girl hugged the long object wrapped in clothes in her arms, excited I followed Night's Watch into the inner room.

The office also has a small backyard with a size of dozens of square meters. As far as this location is concerned, it can be said to be quite a luxury configuration. Originally, Igor planned to plant flowers and grass here, and then get another Thatched hut, but now it looks like it can be used for other purposes.

Igor went to the corner and picked up the training sword, turned around to hand it to the girl, but when he turned around, he saw that she was holding the slender rapier that Jon had given him.

"A beautiful little sword, like a Needle."

"How do you know it's called a Needle!" The girl's eyes lit up, and she felt that she had found her soulmate.

I also know who made it and who gave it to you, Igor secretly said, amiably laughed: "Very well, then it seems that we have a lot of aesthetic resonance, now, take yours. Needle, put it away."

"Can't I just practice with this one?"

"This is a real sword, do you want to kill me or be killed by me? ?" The man shook his head: "Come on, I've agreed to listen to the master."

"Then I took it quietly. If I take it back, it's likely that my father will find it." ."

He won't confiscate the sword, Igor didn't say it, he was busy and planned to establish a close relationship with the girl as soon as possible: "You can put it with me, I will You keep it, and when you're almost done, maybe we can use real swords to compete."

"That's it..." Arya hesitated for a while, "It's okay, so I don't have to worry about it all the time. Septa flipped through my stuff!"

"Then it's decided, come on, take the sword."
