Chapter 5 Expensive Soldiers
It must be said that Newgate has a wealth of knowledge of navigation. The Sea Dog has not taken any detours in the past month.
They can always reach every supply point accurately.
A week ago, system KK ran away, but before the system ran away, it gave Jack a box of instant noodles out of humanitarianism.
Damn it, Jack felt that this system was just disgusting him before leaving, and actually gave him a box of instant noodles.
But one thing is one thing, the instant noodles are really delicious.
And the system ran away, so long as Godzilla is there, he can still stand at the top of the world.
"Oh, gods, every time I eat it, this doesn't seem like food from the human world."
Newgate carefully tasted the instant noodles that Jack handed him.
"Yeah, the instant noodles at Little Raccoon's house taste good."
"Little Raccoon? These strange words, read Little Raccoon?" Newgate said curiously.
"That's right, little raccoon. By the way, do you know how much one Unsullied costs?"
"Unsullied are not sold individually. Generally, the minimum is a 10-man team, ranging from 270 gold to 300 gold.
It depends on whether the slave owner wants to kill you. Sometimes at least 100 pieces are sold."
"Unsullied are not sold individually? And at least 10 pieces are sold?" Jack looked shocked.
He was not very clear about the price of Unsullied. He only knew that Unsullied were expensive, but he didn't know how expensive they were.
According to the introduction in the original play, after Daenerys robbed Zaro's palace and bought a ship, the remaining money could only buy about 100 Unsullied.
In the end, she used a young dragon to get 8,000 Unsullied.
Of course, Daenerys's method is not realistic because Daenerys has a living dragon.
And in the hundreds of years of history of Astapor, there has never been a person like Dany who doesn't keep any credit and directly gets something for nothing.
This also led to the Great Benefactor of Astapor handing over the command of the Unsullied to Daenerys without reservation.
The result is obvious. The Great Benefactor was careless and did not dodge, and was directly burned to death by Daenerys with dragon flames.
In a sense, Daenerys is simply a perfect pirate.
First robbed the palace of Zaro, bought a ship, and then robbed the Unsullied of Astapor.
Of course, maybe Dany didn't have this idea, but under various coincidences, the gods really gave her dragons and troops.
Jack now has 312 gold coins in his hand, which he robbed in the past month. On average, a small merchant ship can provide him with about 10 gold coins.
Even several small pirate groups wanted to follow Jack, but they were all rejected by Jack.
For Jack, pirates are far less loyal and capable than slaves.
This group of pirates only know how to be lazy and slippery. Seeing that Jack is relatively young, they want Jack to support them for free.
"How long will it take us to Astapor?" Jack asked.
"There's probably another month left. Your ship is running very fast. This is very strange. Logically, it would take us at least half a year to reach Slaver's Bay."
"Maybe I'm a lucky person favored by Poseidon. Maybe the goddess of the sea lifted her skirt for me."
Jack didn't explain the existence of Poseidon to Newgate. Poseidon was more like a trump card for Jack, which could save his life at a critical moment.
"This is really crazy. What kind of underwear does the goddess of the sea wear? Sorry, I don't mean to offend you."
Newgate was no longer as reserved as he was at the beginning.
He found that Jack was a very easy-going person, not as rude and brutal as a pirate.
"Uh, probably white silk and thongs. That would be pure and sexy. I love it."
Newgate didn't know what white silk and thongs were, but they must be very beautiful. The goddess of the sea couldn't wear ugly clothes.
Just as Jack was driving the Sea Dog to Astapor, Westeros began to surge undercurrents.
Since Robert Baratheon sat on the Iron Throne, the whole kingdom began to become restless.
It was like an invisible black hand stirring up the storm behind the scenes, constantly creating chaos.
Although Robert indulged in wine and sex all day after ascending the throne, it did not mean that his head was already filled with wine.
He keenly sensed that something was wrong. Jon Arryn's death was too strange.
Logically speaking, Jon Arryn could live another five years easily, but she suddenly fell ill and died.
The most important thing was that Robert had not heard any rumors before, which was the most critical.
When he got the news, his adoptive father Jon Arryn was already dead.
In order to deal with the potential crisis, Robert chose to go to the cold and windy North to invite his best friend Eddard Stark.
As the Duke of the North, Eddard Stark would undoubtedly help Robert share a large part of the pressure if he could serve as the Hand of the King.
