Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep

Chapter 69 Dany is getting smarter

The same thing happened in Meereen, but in addition to the land eroded by salt, even the manors were burned to ashes.

The fiefs that Dany awarded to Jack were almost all these burned manors.

At the dinner table, half of a whole bottle of Poseidon's Brew was soon drunk.

Seeing that Jack's glass was empty again, Mando immediately wanted to pour him wine.

At this time, Jack suddenly reached out and pressed the bottle.

Mando was stunned and looked at Jack in confusion, not knowing what he meant.

Jack smiled and said, "Lord Mando, there is only half of this bottle of wine left. I plan to take it to His Majesty to taste. His Majesty has heard of this fine wine a long time ago.

If this bottle of wine is less than half, I will not be able to explain to His Majesty. His Majesty will definitely not have enough to drink. If it is not enough, he may be angry with you and me."

Jack's words fell into Mando's ears, and he immediately understood what Jack meant.

"Prime Minister, is it really appropriate to give the remaining half bottle of wine to His Majesty?"

Jack smiled, "Half is enough. With His Majesty's alcohol tolerance, he can only drink half a bottle."

Mantuo smiled and whispered, "Then, I wonder how much the Prime Minister can drink?"

Jack laughed and waved his hand quickly, "How about half and half, Your Majesty?"

Mantuo laughed, "The Prime Minister's alcohol tolerance is really good."

At this time, Mantuo already knew how much corruption fee he should pay in the evening, and couldn't help but secretly scold Jack for being greedy.

"Waiter, another bottle of wine." Mantuo shouted to the outside.

Then he said to Jack, "People here have to call waiters, there are many rules, and they must follow the rules after entering. It can be seen how big the power behind them is."

Jack glanced at Mantuo. Sure enough, the ancients were not fools.

But in the eyes of others, his relationship with the Giant Wave Chamber of Commerce was indeed too close.

Not many people in the whole Meereen and even the world knew Jack's true identity.

Speaking of Meereen, only Dany, Jorah, Barristan, Grey Worm and Missandei knew about it.

These people followed Dany at the beginning. At that time, Jack did not intend to eat and drink for Dany, so he did not hide his identity.

But others did not know. Jack specifically told Dany and others to try not to reveal their identities, otherwise he would return to Atlantis to continue to be a pirate.

Jack did not tell all about his situation, and Dany and others only thought that Atlantis was a large-scale pirate organization.

However, in the face of Mando's temptation, Jack did not hide it and said directly:

"To be honest, this chamber of commerce is rich and has given me many gifts. Naturally, I have to take care of it."

After getting the answer he wanted, Mando immediately knew in his heart, and secretly thought that Jack really loved money.

If Jack knew this, he would definitely punch Mando, the old man, to death. Atlantis has just started to make money now.

But there are more places to spend money than Meereen. If he doesn't make more money, Atlantis will become an unfinished building.

Just as Jack and Mandor were drinking and eating, Dany summoned Barristan.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to talk to me about?" Barristan asked after arriving at the True Dragon Tower.

Dany motioned Barristan to sit down and talk.

"Sir Barristan, I selected 30 relatively smart young men from the free people of Meereen, and the Lhasa people who are allied with us also sent 20 young men.

I need you to train them into real knights who can lead troops to fight."

Barristan was a little stunned. This was directly handed over to Jorah to train together. Why did he look for him alone?

Although he was a little confused, Barristan didn't ask much and agreed directly.

"Sir Barristan, when I was in Qarth, Jack said something to me. I don't know whether it is true or false."

Barristan frowned slightly when he heard this, and always felt that something was wrong with Dany.

But then Dany told Barristan what Jack had said.

Barristan frowned after hearing this, "I didn't pay attention to the events on Bear Island when I left Westeros, so I can't be sure whether Jorah Mormont is trustworthy."

"That's why I need you to train fifty knights who can lead troops to fight for me, and then let them lead the three freemen legions."

Barristan immediately understood that Dany was worried about Jorah's identity, so she was dispersing Jorah's power.

He looked at Dany with relief, "I see all the qualities of a wise monarch in you, and your talent is comparable to your pioneer ancestors!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will train fifty qualified knights for you in the shortest time."

Dany quickly denied it, but the smile on her face could not be concealed.

Back then, the ancestor Aegon Targaryen conquered Westeros with three dragons, and she, Daenerys Targaryen, also had three dragons, and she would definitely be able to regain the Iron Throne.

And sometimes after doing exercise with Jack, Jack would tell her some tips on managing the country and his subordinates while enjoying the afterglow.

As the number of exercises increased, Dany naturally learned a lot of practical knowledge.

For example, Dany would never think of dividing the military power in Jorah's hands.

In the original play, Jorah and Barristan could do a lot for Dany, and even served as Dany's consultants on matters of all sizes, and had great decision-making power.

But after Jack appeared, he not only replaced the positions of the two consultants, but also formed a bureaucratic group for Dany, eliminating Dany's worries about the governance of Meereen.

This also led to Barristan and Jorah being forced to develop in the direction of military commanders.

Barristan was fine, Joffrey dismissed him from the position of captain of the Kingsguard, which made him lose face. He was also the Kingsguard of Dany's father, so Dany could naturally use him with confidence.

But Jorah was different. His identity could not withstand investigation at all, because he was originally sent by the Iron Throne to monitor Daenerys.

Otherwise, the old lion in the original play would not have directly exposed Jorah's identity after Jorah's rebellion, causing Daenerys to cut off one of her arms.

So now, even if Dany had told Jorah before, "I completely trust you," she would not trust Jorah with nearly 20,000 new soldiers.

However, Dany did not determine that Jorah was an undercover agent, after all, Jack was a liar.

But, just in case, what if Jorah was really an undercover agent?

Will he rebel and kill himself at the critical moment of his fight for the Iron Throne at the command of the Iron Throne?

So Dany had to be on guard.

Just like what Jack said last night: A suspicious king can live long!

After Barristan left, Dany sat in her seat and pondered for a long time.

More than an hour later, she got up and left. She was going to feed the dragon, imitating Jack's method!
