Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep

If time flies by quickly, more than a month will pass in the blink of an eye.

The Poseidon is like a palace on the sea, huge and luxurious.

Now Jack is sailing the Poseidon out to sea, and there are only more than a hundred people on board.

In addition to sailors and maids, the defense force only has nine imperial guards. Of course, Jack can also be counted as one.

On the deck, Jack taught Ellie and Yag Chinese while playing with a trident made of Valyrian steel.

"b b, y l c w." Yager clumsily imitated Jack's words.

Ellie saw the smile in Jack's eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

Jack smiled evilly and explained the meaning of this sentence. After hearing this, Yager's face turned red.

Ellie gave Jack a wink and said it again to Jack.

Younger is introverted and always likes Jack to be gentler, while Ellie is wild and likes Jack to treat her roughly in various ways.

"Your Majesty, why do we have to learn this Chinese language?" Yager asked strangely.

Jack thought for a moment, sorted out his language and said, "Because we need a different language."

"Civilization needs its own language and culture. Chinese is a language invented by the ancient Atlantean empire. It is noble and mysterious."

In the Game of Thrones world, different races have different languages, and having your own language is one of the powerful weapons for digesting colonies.

There are many dialects spoken within Westeros.

But only two originate here: the ancient language spoken by the First Peoples before the invasion of the Andals;

and later Common Tongue, the only language of the Seven Kingdoms.

Even though there are many variations of the Common Tongue, the people of Dorne in the far south can communicate with those in the north without any barriers.

Alternatively, the Rhoynar may have brought their own language with them, but then died out.

Foreign languages ​​were either learned in the Citadel or brought into Westeros by immigrants, merchants, mercenaries and the like.

There are many languages ​​in Essos across the strait.

The most important is the High Valyrian language spoken in the old Valyrian Freehold, of which what remains now is merely a ruined part of it.

Dothraki: The language spoken by the Dothraki, the indigenous people of the Dothraki Sea.

High Valyrian: The language spoken by the Valyrian dynasty before the Doom.

Low Valyrian: As the name suggests, the Valyrian dialect is the dialect of the nine free city-states and slave city-states.

Each city has its own dialect system, and each dialect seems to have its own vocabulary.

Tyrosh: Aside from its odd pronunciation, little is known about the Valyrian dialect spoken by Tyrosh.

Ghiscari: The Ghiscari language has been forgotten, replaced by a dialect of High Valyrian.

Qarthian.

The language of Asshai.

Asshai's language was like a spell, integrated with their spells. (Similar to Valyrian)

Lazarin - said to be similar to singing.

Tradespeak - a language developed by sailors that was a fusion of a dozen pre-existing languages ​​from around the world (lots of swear words) and also included gestural expressions.

This shows the diversity of languages ​​in the world.

Especially the language of Valyria, it is even divided into High Valyrian and Low Valyrian.

To this day, half of the world's population speaks Low Valyrian.

So Jack planned to teach the Valyrian people Chinese in one to two generations.

As for why Chinese is used, the reason is simple. Jack does not have the ability to create a new language.

There is no Chinese language in the World of Ice and Fire, so just use it directly, which is convenient and trouble-free.

At that time, schools in Atlantis will set up Valyrian and Westeros Common as two professional courses.

Alas, two more professions were born soon after this.

It also creates a good employment environment for future Atlantis college students.

Ellie looked confused. As a bed slave, she wouldn't even know the words if Jack hadn't taught her how to read and write.

Jack need not expect her to understand the importance of cultural erosion.

But this did not prevent Ellie from making Jack happy. Ellie patted her bulging chest and promised, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely study hard and teach the residents on the island."

Jack smiled and patted her chest, "The island residents don't need to learn Chinese. What you have to do is teach their children Chinese."

Most of the citizens on the island have been speaking Low Valyrian for about 20 years, and it is unrealistic to ask them to switch to another language.

So Jack could only start with their children, first teach Chinese as a foreign language, and then slowly replace the low-level Valyrian language for one or two generations.

This is not a troublesome thing, because the most difficult part - creating the language and fonts has been completed, it is the Chinese in Jack's mind.

"Your Majesty, we will arrive at Astapor Pier soon." Ge came to Jack and reported.

"Huh? Arrived so soon?" Jack was a little surprised.

"It's late, Your Majesty, we are sailing very fast, and the Unsullied have already landed at the dock of Astapor."

The Unsullied first boarded the docks of Astapor in a ship, and they needed to control the docks before Jack disembarked.

Soon the huge Poseidon docked at the dock of Astapor, and Jack stepped off the Poseidon under the gaze of five thousand Unsullied.

The Valyrian Freehold destroyed the ancient Ghis Empire, and Astapor was a surviving Ghis colony.

It was once conquered by the Valyrians and built into a center for the slave trade.

The Ghiscari language has been largely forgotten by the people here.

Before leading the army to Yunkai, Dany left a council of three people for Astapor - a doctor, a scholar, and a priest.

Later, the council was abolished by the butcher king Cleon.

After gaining the power of the council, Cleon executed the three people, and then captured all the children of the nobles to start training new Unsullied.

Every pyramid in Astapor has become a military camp, and the streets are full of death lies. There is little food in the shops but all kinds of slaves.

At this time, Astapor had already closed the gates.

Since the war in Meereen, Astapor has closed the gates, and only the fleet controlled by Cleon can go out every day.

Jack came to the dock and shouted:

"Everyone, you are on this land again. Maybe this place was once your nightmare, but today, you will crush the nightmare with your own hands under the witness of the Sea King and the Sea God."

As soon as Jack finished speaking, he suddenly hit the ground heavily with the trident in his hand.

Then there was a dull roar from the sea and the sky, and a red dragon with a wingspan of more than three meters fell from the sky, and then crawled at Jack's feet.

Then a blue beam of light shattered the wooden bridge of the dock, and Godzilla came ashore from the deep sea and stood beside Jack in the eyes of awe.

"Soldiers, do you need to rest?"

The Unsullied did not answer, but just knocked the ground with a spear under the leadership of Kaido.
