Chapter 223 The Airsick Dragon Knight
Silor, Silver Palace.
Today, the North has been renamed the Northern Province, with Silor as the administrative center.
In the future, his eldest son with Lyanna will be crowned Prince of the North and stationed in Throl.
As for Bear Island and Dreadfort, which are now occupied by the Mormont family, they can be granted to the second son.
The Silver Palace is a special building, which looks like a castle. It was built with cement and a lot of glass, and has a more modern style.
The Silver Palace is located directly in front of the Prince's Castle and is the administrative building of the Northern Province.
At this time, the Northern nobles gathered in the square in front of the Silver Palace. They had arrived here three days ago.
The construction of the future political center, Silor, was basically completed, and they received a notice that Jack was going to hold a tournament and a banquet to entertain them.
The prize money for the tournament is very generous, and it is different from the traditional knight-lance duel.
This martial arts competition is about comprehensive combat capabilities. Civilians do not need to prepare their own armor and weapons, so they can still participate in the competition.
Jack held the tournament this time, ostensibly to celebrate the completion of Silor, but his real purpose was much more complicated.
He wanted to take this opportunity to select some low-level military officers from among the civilians.
By the way, they destroyed the unity within the aristocratic group and formed a huge council composed of northern civilians, free people outside the Wall, new nobles, old nobles, and officials under Atlantis.
In this way, even if Atlantis still implemented the feudal system on Westeros, it avoided internal unity and greatly increased the difficulty of rebellion.
Although they are all his children, it is best not to fight if possible.
"I heard that His Majesty will bring the little prince and princess?" Tormund asked quietly.
"Yes, it will be here soon." Lyanna looked up at the sky.
"The children that the Duke and His Majesty will have in the future will also be princes and princesses. If it is a prince, I will choose the strongest girl to give to His Royal Highness."
Lyanna looked calm. She glanced at Tormund and said calmly, "If you say anything more, I will revoke your earl title and let you go back to farm the newly added land."
Tormund was shocked when he heard this, and wanted to refute something timidly, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything.
Kasa and Saigon immediately burst into undisguised laughter upon seeing this. Just as they were about to make a few more laughs, overlapping dragon roars were heard from the sky.
There was surprise on everyone's faces. They were all old people who followed Jack. After Jack came to the North, he beat them first.
So they were familiar with the roars of Craxhew and Drogon, but now they heard the roar of a strange dragon.
Everyone looked at each other in silence for a few seconds, and then looked up at the sky in unison.
The four figures gradually grew larger, and in the surprised gaze of everyone, four giant dragons fell to the ground with a bang.
Looking at the two newly appeared dragons, everyone had different expressions.
The new generation of nobles loyal to Jack looked extremely excited.
They were promoted by Jack, who gave them the rights to sell the old nobles' land and goods.
The stronger Jack is, the more secure their position will be.
The old aristocratic forces all put on forced smiles.
There are four giant dragons. Although the two new dragons are not as big as Clarke and Drogon, dragons are still dragons and they will grow up sooner or later.
They couldn't help but feel desperate. With four dragons, Jack only needed to hold on to the North for ten years. Who in the whole of Westeros could be his opponent?
Moreover, Jack had a foundation in Essos, so he could attack or defend. There was no hope of victory at all.
Jack saw everyone's expressions, especially the forced smiles of the old aristocratic forces.
I laughed in my heart, thinking that in two days, these people might not even be able to force themselves to smile.
The North can now trade economically with the free trade city-states on the other side.
In terms of military, it relies entirely on the Wildlings and the Unsullied, and
in terms of politics, it is led by the bishops brought from Atlantis by Jack.
They meddle in local politics while training grassroots managers.
Jack could kick these nobles out at any time, but that would not be in Jack's interest. If there was no controllable internal struggle, that would be troublesome.
"Ugh~" a childish vomiting sound was heard.
I saw a child who looked about four or five years old jumping off the green dragon's back, holding the dragon's legs and starting to vomit.
Jack was speechless, he didn't expect that this little guy would get airsick. As a dragon knight, airsickness is not a good thing.
Moreover, as the heir of Atlantis, this was the image of the ministers he met with in the overseas provinces for the first time.
Jack was very satisfied with Elizabeth's performance.
Viserion leaned over and spread out his wings, and Elizabeth walked down along the wings, bowing gracefully to everyone.
"This is my daughter, Elizabeth Poseidon," Jack introduced with a smile.
"Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess." Everyone hurriedly returned the greeting.
They were just curious. His Majesty didn't look very old, but the child was already four or five years old. Has His Majesty already allied with the Targaryen family?
However, Jack didn't say anything and they didn't ask. They would know sooner or later.
At this time, Daenerys also got off Drogon's back, came to Alexander and patted his back gently to help him relieve his discomfort.
"This is my eldest son, Alexander, the heir to the empire. He will study with me for a while in the next few days. You can walk around more."
Jack was not angry because of Alexander's performance, and made it clear that Alexander was his heir.
