Chapter 14 Sea King's Palace
Jack completely controlled the Rose, and then learned from the ship's deputy that the Rose was 68 meters long and 24 meters wide.
It was a giant merchant ship that Mfira had customized in Braavos, and this was her first time going out to sea.
Jack's eyes lit up. He didn't expect it was a new ship. This was really a bargain.
The cost of this ship was less than 100,000 gold dragons.
You should know that the Royal Navy built by Robert before cost millions of gold dragons, but they were generally warships of about 20 to 30 meters.
The cost of a warship over 40 meters will increase geometrically with the expansion of the hull, and its keel and other materials have very strict requirements.
In addition, Jack not only got a top merchant ship, but the spices carried on the merchant ship were even more valuable, with a value of 40,000 gold dragons.
At this time, there were more than a hundred slaves on the ship. Jack cut off their slave collars and took them in as sailors.
The monthly salary of three silver coins and the treatment of food and accommodation made them regain their enthusiasm for life and work harder.
After all, they were originally slaves, and even if Captain Jack didn't pay them, they still had to work.
They were still working, but now they had money to get, so they would naturally work harder.
And those who were lazy at work would be put on slave collars again, because Captain Jack didn't want slaves.
So those who were put on collars again would be sold to Slave Bay and return to a life worse than pigs and dogs.
This was the important reason why they worked so hard.
After taking the other people on the Sea Dog to the new ship, Jack asked Poseidon to destroy the Sea Dog, which was more than ten meters long.
This old ship, which had drifted on the ocean for 20 years, completely sank to the bottom of the sea with the memory of its predecessor.
Jack renamed the Rose to the Sea King and established the first maritime kingdom, Atlantis.
At the same time, all the Qarth logos on the ship were erased and replaced with a Godzilla logo.
Although Godzilla on the flag was blurry due to technical reasons, it was enough to have a general appearance.
Finally, Jack appointed Newgate as the Hand of the King, which moved Newgate to tears.
He never dreamed that he could jump from a slave to the King's Hand.
Kaido was also very excited. He went from a slave to a navy admiral.
Even though the Unsullied had been trained to the point of almost losing their emotions, the change of identity once again aroused his passion for life.
With the Poseidon as a base, Jack began to conduct simple training for the sailors on the ship to ensure that they could basically follow orders.
After selling all the spices on the ship, Jack could transform the Poseidon into a maritime base.
Then slowly grow and develop, taking the first step in establishing his maritime empire.
——
At the same time, Daenerys, who was far away in Pentos, had already played poker on the beach with Khal Drogo.
Daenerys was suffering from Drogo's attack while she was crying. She didn't understand why her second brother did this to her.
Obviously, he was her only relative, but he said such unbearable words that could make the whole centaur tribe play with him.
Soon, for Daenerys, the hellish wedding night was over.
And Drogo also began to return to Horse King's City with his 40,000 Dothraki roaring warriors.
They need to return to Horse King's City first, and then take time to go to Westeros to take back something called the Iron Throne.
Drogo doesn't think that anyone in Westeros can stop him, he is full of confidence.
If Jack is asked to comment, Jack can only say that he doesn't know how to live or die.
Viserion is also a fool, naively thinking that 40,000 Dothraki cavalry can help him take back the Iron Throne.
In the Seven Kingdoms, the elite of the Westerlands can compete with the Horse King by relying on the geographical advantage.
What's more, if the Horse King invades, it will definitely not only face the Westerlands, but the entire Westeros.
Six months passed quickly, and on this day, Dany once again couldn't bear to snatch a witch from the hands of the Horse King's subordinates.
And this matter also came to Drogo, but it should be said that the Horse King really dotes on Dany, and directly angered his subordinates to fight with him.
However, there is a reason why Drogo can be called the Horse King. Apart from the fact that he was stabbed in the chest because of disdain, he beheaded the challenger with almost no effort.
At this time, the witch proposed to apply herbs to the Horse King to prevent the wound from getting infected, which was considered to repay Daenerys's kindness.
Drogo's bloodriders objected, but they could not resist Drogo's pampering of Dany, so they let the witch apply herbs, which directly led to his death.
Only two weeks later, Drogo was so weak that he fell off his horse, and this incident directly caused the entire Khals to surge undercurrents.
A group of Dothraki people united by a group of tribes are called Khals.
The leader of the strongest tribe is called Khal, and the leaders of the other tribes are called Ko, who are Khal's deputy.
And now Khal Drogo actually fell off his horse.
For the centaurs, those who can't even control horses are not worthy of being Khals, let alone being called the Horse King.
In order to save the horse king, Daenerys once again chose to believe the witch and exchanged her own child for the horse king's life.
The horse king was indeed rescued, but he became a vegetable.
The witch told Dany that when the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, your husband will wake up.
This witch has always remembered her hatred for centaurs, and she didn't take Dany's rescue into her mind at all.
Then the entire Kalls fell apart, and only a handful of people were willing to follow Daenerys.
This is the first time the Dragon Queen pays for her kindness, and of course, it won't be the last time.
In the end, Daenerys suffocated Drogo, who had become a vegetative state, with a pillow, and then tied the witch to a log.
He burned himself, Drogo, the three dragon eggs, and the witch in fire all night long.
At dawn the next day, it was as if the ancient prophecy had been confirmed.
Blood and fire come from the same source, exchange lives for lives!
Viserion is dead, Drogo is dead, the child is dead.
Three lives were exchanged for three new lives.
Sigh——! ! !
The neighing sound of the young dragons is still very immature, but it does not prevent everyone from imagining how domineering they will look like when they grow up.
Daenerys took her young dragons and people on the journey again.
Dragons are powerful, but that only happens when you grow up.
If you can't get out of the red wasteland, it's all meaningless.
——
Slaver's Bay, Port Astapor, aboard the Poseidon.
"498, 499, 500!"
"Awesome, Captain, you are so strong!" Ellie praised Jack on his back.
At this time, Vitrill, Ellie, and Yager were sitting cross-legged on Jack's back. This was Jack's daily training, weighted push-ups.
Although the injection of serum strengthened his body about three times, Jack still did not give up training.
The stronger the foundation, the stronger you will be after strengthening, and the stronger you will be after training.
After Jack stood up, Ellie and Yager quickly picked up the towels prepared to wipe Jack's sweat.
But Vitrill still stood there stupidly holding Tsunami in her arms.
At this moment, Newgate came back. All the cargo on the Poseidon had been digested, and a total of 36,000 gold coins had been obtained.
Although it was four thousand gold coins less than expected, this was a business without capital, and all the spices were stolen.
And these 36,000 gold coins were exchanged by Jack for 1,200 Unsullied.
Those damn good people actually set the price at 30 gold coins for an Unsullied One.
But it doesn't matter, these will belong to you sooner or later, so you should keep them in Astapo first.
And Jack's first plundering target was not Slaver's Bay, nor other coastal towns in Essos.
But Qarth, the seaside city that connects the east-west trade of Essos.
Qarth's defense is not strong, making it Jack's best target.
But before that, he needs to buy a batch of clippers within 20 meters for zero yuan.
Otherwise, with the speed of the Poseidon, the Qarthian army would have been assembled by the time it approached Qarth.
