Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep

Chapter 79 Return to Atlantis

A week has passed.

Even with Daenerys's warning, Barristan's titles such as "Three-surnamed Slave", "White-haired Old Thief", and "Traitorous Thief" have still spread.

After all, both of them are important ministers under the Queen, and it is natural that they can't hide such a big news as quarreling in court.

But Jack is much smarter than Barristan, and he directly spent hundreds of silver coins to control the direction of public opinion.

So now most people believe that it is the Three-surnamed Slave Barristan who is jealous of Prime Minister Jack's talent.

Then he shamelessly framed the Prime Minister for corruption, but was scolded by the Prime Minister on the spot!

This made everyone understand Jack's methods again, which are really insidious.

It is said that Sir Barristan has not shown up for several days.

Everyone speculated whether he was scolded by Jack and fell ill and could only live in bed.

When the direction of public opinion was controlled by Jack, Jack became idle again.

The garden on the top of the Prime Minister's Tower

Jack was lying in a rocking chair, surrounded by four maids. Two of them massaged him, one peeled grapes for him, and one reached out to catch the grape seeds he spat out.

"My lord, there is a letter for you." Ivan came over and handed Jack a letter.

Jack did not reach out to take it, but asked first: "Whose letter is it?"

"I don't know, there is no signature, only an upright lizard pattern."

Jack waved his hand to disperse the maids around him, and then took the envelope from Ivan's hand.

Sure enough, there was a picture of Godzilla roaring to the sky on it, which was a message from Atlantis.

The Atlantis raven would first go to the Chamber of Commerce office at the Meereen dock, and then the dock people would put the message in the envelope, and finally send it to the Prime Minister's Pyramid.

Although there was an extra procedure, it also concealed Jack's relationship with Atlantis.

Now the whole of Essos is in a state of watching the show. Except for Braavos, most city-states have cut off trade with Meereen.

Unless Meereen can defeat the slave owners' coalition, the other waiting forces will not trade with Meereen.

At this time, if they find out that the father of dragons is actually from Atlantis.

Then they will no longer honestly let Atlantis use products to reap their wealth.

Instead, they will unite and form a coalition again, defeat Atlantis, take the product production technology for themselves, and then reap the wealth of the world.

Jack will never underestimate the greed of these slave owners.

After Ivan left, Jack lay on the chair and read the letter. There were three letters in the envelope.

The first one was Newgate's brief description of the development of Atlantis. Jack nodded with satisfaction after reading it.

Although Newgate's ability is not high, he is still safe and steady, and every step is according to his plan.

When Jack saw the second letter, his face darkened. He didn't expect that the bastard Korakshu would be arrogant again after being honest for a while.

When he was with Jack before, Korakshu behaved very honestly, but dragons are dragons after all.

As they get older, they will slowly regard all creatures other than riders as prey, including humans.

And dragons are very intelligent and will also have a rebellious period. Thinking of this, Jack decided to keep Korakshu with him at all times in the future.

Otherwise, if he continues to be free-range like this, he will be wild enough, but he is afraid that he will grow completely crooked.

And when Jack saw the third letter, his face couldn't help but become strange.

Water monsters eat people?

Jack's first reaction was to disbelieve it, but then he remembered that he was in the world of ice and fire.

Whether it is the original novel or the TV series, what is shown in it is just the tip of the iceberg.

And the world of ice and fire is also a magical world after all. It is not impossible to think that there are some unknown fantasy creatures.

After tearing up the letter and throwing it into the furnace inside the pyramid, Jack must go back to Atlantis.

Since he had a plan, Jack didn't waste time and went straight to Daenerys, saying that he was going out for a while and would be back in about two to three months.

Dany was stunned when she heard this, and was immediately worried that Jack was going to run away.

Until Jack said that there were some problems with his dragon and he had to deal with it himself.

Dany was relieved, and then slowly raised her legs, and her soft and white little feet rested on Jack's knees.

"Since it takes at least a month to go back, don't leave tonight, and leave tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Dany blinked her big eyes, and her right hand kept playing with her long silver hair, looking forward to Jack's answer.

Jack glanced at the pure little Dany, and then looked at the sky outside, and found that it was indeed late today, so he decided to set off early tomorrow morning.

Dany smiled confidently and locked Jack's waist with her legs.

But Jack slapped her hard on the butt.

Dany groaned in pain and immediately looked at Jack with tears in her eyes. At the same time, a bright red slap mark appeared.

"I'll go arrange a speedboat first, and come back to deal with you later."

After saying that, Jack left Dany's room, leaving Dany hugging the pillow and gently rubbing her pain.

——

The next day, 301AC, July 2.

The news of Jack's departure from Meereen spread quickly. Even though Jack had arranged the development plan for the next few months, it still caused a lot of panic.

Because Jack arranged many things himself, Jack actually left Meereen on the eve of the war, how could others not think too much.

But soon the True Dragon Pyramid released the news that the Prime Minister was out to pick up his dragon and would be back in two months. At that time, Meereen would be protected by four dragons.

In this way, Dany released the news according to Jack's method, and as expected, the panic at the bottom of Meereen quickly subsided.

But Dany also realized Jack's strong influence in Meereen.

After thinking again and again, Dany decided to take advantage of Jack's absence to handle government affairs in person.

At the same time, she was ready to come forward to comfort the "workers" in Meereen.

This would not only improve her prestige in the management of Meereen, but also improve her status in the hearts of the free people.

And Dany was also ready to bring dozens of pigs when she comforted those workers. This was a method she learned from Jack.

Any condolences from the superiors, even if they only brought a little worthless benefit, would be grateful to the group of low-level free people.

Thinking of this, he immediately asked his servants to buy fifty fat pigs.

It only takes three to four silver coins to buy a fat pig, and the specific price depends on the weight of the pig.

Even if calculated according to the highest price in the Meereen market, fifty fat pigs only cost two hundred silver coins.

The purchasing power of gold dragons is so terrifying that fifty fat pigs weighing three or four hundred kilograms only cost two gold dragons.

Therefore, Dany plans to visit once a week for two consecutive months.

Similarly, Jack's departure also made the conservatives in Meereen active, thinking that their opportunity had come.
