Chapter 124 The Poor North
Jack's main purpose of coming to Westeros this time is to solve the trouble of Jon Snow.
In fact, according to Jack's own idea, the easiest thing to do is to kill Jon directly.
But Dany took into account the blood relationship between them and wanted Jon to stay in the Night's Watch forever.
As long as it doesn't threaten her position of succession, joining the Night's Watch will make Jon lose his inheritance rights.
But there is also a Melisandre in Westeros. Jon was resurrected in the American TV series, which just fulfilled the oath of the Night's Watch to never give up until death.
Jack promised Daenerys not to kill Jon Snow, but he did not promise to protect Jon Snow.
Although the original novel has not yet been completed, Jon's performance in the American TV series is not satisfactory, and the same is true for Tyrion.
Regardless of whether the two were forced to lower their intelligence by the screenwriter or had selfish motives, he would not allow any accidents to happen.
Jack wants to kill Jon, but he needs a different method.
He would not allow any possibility to arise that would threaten Daenerys' throne.
Because the baby in Daenerys' belly is his.
When Daenerys sits on the Iron Throne, it means that her offspring will sit on the Iron Throne and become the King of the Seven Kingdoms.
This will be of great help in the subsequent annexation of Westeros.
So Jack plans to change his identity and promote Jon Snow to the position of commander of the Night's Watch.
Then Jon Snow's identity was revealed.
Finally spread rumors in King's Landing:
Jon has resumed his identity as Aegon Targaryen.
And he has formed an alliance with his aunt Daenerys Targaryen.
He was preparing to claim the throne of the North as the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, and many people responded.
Rumors, especially in a society where information transmission is inefficient, can be extremely destructive.
In this way, Jack doesn't have to do it himself, the Iron Throne of the Lion family will try every means to kill Jon.
It is a simple and technically unsophisticated plot to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and it is also an open conspiracy.
But because the Iron Throne is now in a precarious situation, Tywin will try every means to stabilize the throne.
It doesn't matter even if Jon is not killed in the end, because Jon's identity has been exposed, and it was exposed during the Night's Watch.
This means that Jon will have to stay in Castle Black for the rest of his life, just like Maester Aemon.
Maester Aemon was the third "Aemon Targaryen" in history, the third son of King Maekar I Targaryen.
His grandfather, Daeron II, named him after his great-great-uncle, Daeron's uncle, Prince Aemon the Dragonrider.
By then, King Daeron II had four grown sons, three of whom had children of their own.
He felt that having too many potential Targaryen heirs to the throne was dangerous, so he sent Aemon to the Citadel.
Aemon forged his necklace and earned the title of Maester Aemon.
He served an unidentified lord until his father, King Maekar I, summoned him to court to serve on the Iron Throne.
He felt that he might replace the Grand Maester in the Small Council, so he chose to serve in the residence of his eldest brother, Prince Daeron.
After Daeron's death, Maester Aemon's whereabouts were unknown until King Maekar I was killed in the battle of Starshuttle.
In 233 AC, Hand of the King Brynden Rivers presided over a Great Council to choose a new king, and Aemon was recalled to court.
He was quietly offered the throne, but he refused, leaving the rule of the kingdom to his younger brother, Aegon.
Afterwards, he chose to go to the Wall to join the Night's Watch to prevent him from being used by a conspiracy to usurp his brother's throne.
King Aegon emptied the dungeons and provided him with an "honor guard" of two hundred men for his journey, who went to the Wall with Aemon to take the oath of the Night's Watch.
This includes the Blood Raven and his personal guard, the Raven's Tooth Guard.
In addition, Aegon also sent his Kingsguard Ser Duncan the Tall to escort him along the way.
During his service at the Great Wall, Imon read and sorted out the vast collection of books at the Great Wall.
In a letter he sent to the Citadel, he mentioned a note made by a ranger named Redwyne during the reign of King Doron Stark.
The record describes the journey of Redwyne and his party from the Shadow Tower to Desolate Point on the Frozen Coast.
Redwyne claims they fought giants and even traded with the Children of the Forest.
In his letter, Aemon said that he had found many similar records in the library of Castle Black, and that these documents should be credible.
Rhaegar Targaryen sometimes corresponded with his great-uncle via ravens.
Aemon claims that every man of the Night's Watch has had their loyalty to their oath tested at least once.
Aemon said he was tested three times, the hardest of which was hearing the news of the fall of House Targaryen during the Rebellion of the Usurper.
He also used this to persuade Jon not to go south to help his brother Robb Stark.
If Jon Snow had really returned to Robb Stark at that time, he would most likely be sent back to the Wall by the upright Robb, or die in the Red Wedding.
Jack needs to keep an eye on the bug of the Red Woman and prevent her from resurrecting Jon.
Jack sighed, wishing Daenerys were a little more ruthless.
Jack directly flew his dragon to Jon's face. He didn't believe that Melisandre could resurrect him after Carax turned Jon into feces.
But if Dany did this, she would no longer be the Mother of Dragons in the minds of others.
Dany is kind-hearted and has done many good things, but as soon as she does one bad thing, people will selectively forget the good things she has done and instead say that she is the reincarnation of the "Mad King".
The cruelty of the "Mad King" has been engraved in everyone's heart.
"Mad King" has also become a synonym for cruelty and is used to describe all cruel nobles.
The Poseidon left White Harbor in a hurry after resupplying. Now the Poseidon was not safe anywhere unless it was constantly moving on the sea.
Jack will ride the dragon ahead, and the Poseidon will wait for him near Eastwatch in Seal Bay.
And Ge and others stayed on the Poseidon to guard Myrcella, who was a very important person. As long as Myrcella Baratheon was not dead, she would sooner or later become the key to the Stormlands.
Just like Sansa Stark now, she is the key to the North in everyone's eyes.
Korakshuu's flying speed is very fast, and he can cross the northern border in just one day.
In the evening, Jack landed near the Amber family's Last Hearth.
After leaving Caraxeus to forage for food in the Wolfwood alone, Jack entered Hearthtown alone.
Fortunately, Jack dyed his hair black when the Poseidon left.
Otherwise, with Jack's silver hair and purple eyes, combined with the recent messages from the Seven Countries, it's almost like Jack has his ID card stuck to his face.
However, after entering the city, Jack found that he seemed to have overthought, as no one was talking about the return of the Targaryens.
Even after Jack took the initiative to ask, he found that many people didn't know.
Jack soon realized that he had overestimated the speed with which news spread in the Seven Kingdoms.
Even with ravens, news would not spread so quickly, not to mention that the ravens were in the hands of the nobles.
Not to mention the civilians, they might only know about this after Daenerys fights back.
Moreover, the barrenness of the North was far beyond Jack's imagination. The roads were bumpy and there was feces and garbage everywhere.
All the people Jack had seen were little more than refugees.
Not to mention the people on Poseidon Island, even Astapor, which was colonized by Atlantis, is in a better situation than this.
The poverty in the North is really unjustified.
Even the prostitutes on the street were so dirty that their hair seemed to be tangled in strands.
If all the hair on her body was like this, Jack really didn't know what the guests would do.
Of course, if the price is also cheap, just ignore what he said.
