The money borrowed from the Iron Bank is not enough to build roads, let alone train new recruits, and they also need to equip them with armor, weapons, horses and other supplies.
The gap in the gold coin was too big, and Linn's magic stone had no time to make it.
Although he could use magic to speed up the alchemy, he was unwilling to spend all his time on it.
So I wave my hand and borrow it again!
The Iron Bank is extremely supportive of him, because at present, it seems that only Lyn and Daenerys can finally unify Westeros.
But Daenerys’s credit record is extremely poor! She has a record of breaking contracts many times and being a free hand, and she also opposes the slave trade. In contrast, Lynn can be said to be a model of fair trade!
After two days of negotiations, Lin En borrowed another five million gold coins, bringing the total to eight million gold coins twice. This was really a huge amount of money.
Robert was extravagant during his more than ten years in office, and the treasury's debt was only six million.
If you have too many debts, you don’t have to worry; if you have too many lice, you don’t need to itch.
He didn't care about the loan at all!
Anyway, with this money, he will be able to build roads, bridges, and recruit soldiers for training.
Everything here is going smoothly according to plan, Lynn.
Tyrion also returned to the Eagle's Nest and found that not only the queen but also Jon Snow was also there. Their relationship did not seem as tense as when they first met, but instead they became much closer.
After questioning, I found out that Jon's operation this time was very difficult. Not only did he lose many good men, he was also surrounded by a frozen lake in the end.
Fortunately, the lake had not completely frozen yet, so the wights could not come over, so they waited until Daenerys came to the rescue riding a dragon.
In order to repay the queen for saving her life, Jon swore allegiance to Dany.
"What a pity my good brother Sam, he just came back from the city! I thought he would become a real bachelor!" Jon was in a very low mood. It seems that this Sam is indeed his very good friend!
Tyrion could only comfort him and said: "Their sacrifices will not be in vain! The good news is that all the kings and lords have agreed to come to peace talks this time. It seems that the joint resistance to the White Walkers has a high chance of success!"
"By the way, where are the White Walkers?"
Jon said: "The hound Sandor is coming from Winterfell with him. He will arrive in ten days at the earliest."
"This way we can set a time for peace talks!"
…
Harrenhal is south of the Sancha River and north of the Lake of the God's Eye. If you open the map, you will find that this is probably the center of Westeros.
To the west from Harrenhal is the River Road that leads to Riverrun and the West. Not far to the north is the Sancha River. After crossing the river, you can go to the valley to the west, and to the north is the North. The King's Road runs next to Harrenhal.
Pass.
Whether it is geographical location or transportation conditions, it can be said that it is very superior. It is a battleground for military strategists connecting the north and south, and vertically and horizontally.
It has always been the territory of the Tully family in the Riverlands. Later, during the War of Five Kings, it was occupied by multiple powers. It was originally a densely populated town, but now there are almost no living people!
Arya followed the Hound and the others with the wights all the way south, and met Tyrion and Jon at the ferry and came here together.
When we arrived at Harrenhal, it was already snowing.
The last time she came here was when she and Lin En were arrested together.
There is no longer the scream that sent chills all over the last time! There is no more disgusting rotten smell.
It's not that there are no corpses, it's because they have all turned into bones!
"I don't know how he is doing now. Has he finished his business in Braavos?"
Arya was thinking wildly in her mind as she gradually walked into Harrenhal!
Harrenhal is still so huge! Even though she has traveled through many cities, she has never seen a castle bigger than Harrenhal!
The dilapidated ruins are becoming more and more dilapidated, and you can vaguely see the majesty and magnificence of the building when it was built.
"Such a majestic castle can't stop the dragon's flames!" Arya said with emotion.
The hunting dog heard her words and continued: "That kind of monster is born for war. They have no natural enemies except themselves."
"Fortunately, they are all brainless beasts. Otherwise, I don't know if humans can still exist!"
"maybe!"
At this moment, Tyrion thought of Haiqin Yan, who had passed through Highgarden many times. She was smart, proud, and elegant!
Whether it pays attention to you or not depends on its mood rather than whether it can understand you!
"Wait until you meet Lynn's dragon and you'll know that not all dragons are like Drogon and Rhaegal!"
…
In the next few days, Old Sparrow arrived first with a team of Knights of the Holy Sword. After all, this was considered the sphere of influence of the Papal State.
Then there is Cersei, as the representative of Queen Myrcella of the Seven Kingdoms, she came here early with the tall Magic Mountain and her bachelor Qyburn.
Escorting them was Euron, King of the Iron Islands.
Jaime, her Dornish ally, also brings Bronn with her!
Tyrion was very happy to see Bronn again. After all, he was a friend who had saved him several times. Although the relationship was already hostile when they met again, it did not prevent the two from reminiscing. He also offered to recruit Bronn, but
Bronn refused!
"It doesn't matter, please remember what I said before, no matter how much others pay, I will always pay double!"
Tyrion put a lot of thought into setting up the venue.
He understands that those who are coming to negotiate are all claiming to be kings, and he wishes that all those in power on the other side would die.
Seating arrangements are a headache.
Who is sitting in the main seat? Who is sitting in the guest seat?
And for those accompanying nobles, do they need to set up seats? What titles can have seats?
No matter how you arrange it, you can't satisfy everyone, and one bad move may ruin the meeting!
Finally, Tyrion simply placed seven chairs in a semicircle, sorted by geographical location, from north to south,
In order: Jon Snow, King of the North,
King of the Iron Islands, Euron Greyjoy,
The Mother of Dragons who occupies the Vale, Daenerys Targaryen,
Lord of Casterly Rock in the West, Jaime Lannister,
The Pope who reigns over the land of the Popes, the High Sparrow,
King of the Storm Kingdom, Lyn Baratheon,
The representative of Myrcella, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms of Dorne, Cersei Lannister.
These seven seats represent all the forces in Westeros today.
There is also Tyrion’s little thoughts hidden in it.
For example, Daenerys, who is sitting in the third chair, looks more like the center seat from her seat.
Jaime of the Westerlands, Euron of the Iron Islands, and Cersei of Dorne were allies but were deliberately separated.
There was supposed to be a chair in the valley but it was cancelled,
Hejian, which was supposed to have a place, was also cancelled.
As for the Riverbend Highgarden, needless to say, it has all been owned by the Kingdom of Storms. Naturally, it no longer needs a position.
As the war continues, three kingdoms that have been inherited for many years have disappeared!
What is certain is that more will disappear in the future, until only one chair remains!
