Chapter 255 Daolang's Disdain
"Dragon eggs?" Jack was a little surprised. He had been collecting dragon eggs but had not received any.
Jack was sure that some of the free trade cities in Essos must have collections of dragon eggs.
But the Free Cities did not want to sell the dragon eggs to Jack, because the shadow of Valyria once again loomed over their heads.
Shanks smiled apologetically, "Yes, Your Majesty, this dragon egg was purchased by a merchant from the Shadow Land.
According to him, there should be at least five dragon eggs in the Shadow Land, and there are even giant dragons living deep in the Shadow Land."
Jack accepted the dragon egg without hesitation. Asha and Daenerys were both pregnant, so this dragon egg filled half of the gap.
After Jack made another big promise to Shanks, he took the dragon egg to Prince Doran's residence.
Korakhu leaped over the triple doors and went straight to the Old Palace.
Sure enough, Prince Doran was at the entrance to the Old Palace, apparently waiting for Jack to arrive.
Ever since Jack came to Sunspear, Prince Doran has arranged for his spies to keep a close eye on Jack's movements.
After learning that Jack had gone to the headquarters of the Sea People's Chamber of Commerce, he insisted on waiting in the Old Palace despite the objections of others.
During this period, Prince Daolang kept frowning, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Arianne rubbed Doran's temples. Doran had already designated Arianne as the heir of Dorne, and also revealed his plan to Arianne.
From then on, Arianne understood her father's difficulties, and the relationship between father and daughter was greatly eased.
"You don't have to wait here for him, father. You are the Prince of Dorne," Arianne said softly.
"I am the Prince of Dorne, and he is the future King of the Seven Kingdoms. This is necessary etiquette."
"If he were to follow etiquette, he should have come to you first instead of going to the Sea Citizens Chamber of Commerce and making you wait for so long."
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Arianne's tone. In her opinion, Jack was just trying to intimidate Dorne.
"The king doesn't follow etiquette, so we can only say it in secret. But we don't follow etiquette, but the king can say it to his face if he wants. That's the difference."
Prince Doran had a gentle smile on his face, as if nothing could make him angry.
"He had four dragons, but now there are only three left. Dorne has never been afraid of dragons. It's not like we haven't killed dragons before."
"That was all a thing of the past. You should control your temper. How can you show everything?"
Doran taught Arianne with a smile on his face, while looking deeply at the Sea Folk Guild headquarters building in the distance.
He still doesn't know what this building material is, and Shanks pretends to be stupid in response to his questions, and the people below also don't know anything.
Hiss——
A dragon roar sounded, and the red glow of the evening sprinkled on Korakshu who fell from the sky, and the scarlet scales became even more eerie.
Landing in front of the Old Palace, Korak lowered his shoulders to let Jack get off, then found a comfortable position and curled up.
"Prince Doran, long time no see." Jack was the first to greet them.
Prince Doran bowed in his wheelchair and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to stand up and salute. You know my legs well."
"Nothing, nothing. If you have time, Prince can try to pray to the Sea God. The Sea God has healed countless believers."
Jack did not let Poseidon treat Doran Martell directly. The old man had a stable mind and a very strong will. The power of faith had little effect on him now. Jack would never do a business that would lose money.
However, Jack could arrange for someone to contact Oberyn Martell. After all, it would be uncomfortable for anyone to change from a healthy person to a blind man with half of his teeth missing.
"I will, your majesty, thank you for your advice." Doran Martell thanked him very gentlemanly.
At this time, Jack looked at Arianne beside Prince Doran and said with a smile: "I wonder if Miss Arianne is married. She is 28 years old this year, right?"
Arianne's face darkened, but she still forced a smile and said in a slightly sarcastic tone:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Thanks to your slap, everyone now thinks that Tyene and I are your women."
Arianne was referring, of course, to the slap Jack had given her and Tyene when they left Sunspear.
"If that's the case, then it's indeed my fault. How about you just come to me and get it over with?"
"I am the future princess of Dorne. If Your Majesty is willing to marry into my family, it is not impossible." Arianne said with a wry smile.
Doran Martell's eyelids jumped when he heard this. His daughter was good in every way except that she had a hot temper and was easily led by others.
"Ahem, Your Majesty, I'm sure you came to Dorne in person to talk to me about something. How about we go to the study to discuss it in detail?"
"Can."
Prince Doran quickly sent his daughter away and brought Jack to the prince's study.
"Please take a seat, Your Majesty."
After Jack sat down, Prince Doran came to Jack and poured him a glass of wine.
After taking a sip of the wine, Jack was a little surprised: "Six gold royals a barrel of Poseidon's wine? You, a prince of Dorne, drink six gold royals a barrel of Poseidon's wine?"
"Dear Majesty, not everyone is as rich as you. Besides, this is three golden dragons per barrel of Poseidon's Brew."
Jack nodded. The Sea People's Chamber of Commerce built a factory in Dorne, and the raw materials were purchased from the Dornish, so the price would naturally not be set too high.
In the end, the profit was cut in half, from 100 times to 50 times.
This price is still within an acceptable range.
"Really? This price is still very cheap, what do you think?"
"Of course, now all the nobles in Dorne drink a glass of Poseidon's wine with dinner every day. If the price of Poseidon's wine was not too high, all the wineries in Dorne would have closed down."
"Hahaha, if it tastes good, the price will naturally be good. It wasn't originally prepared for ordinary people. We have to give other wineries a way out, otherwise Poseidon Brewing alone won't be able to consume so many grapes."
After the two of them argued for a while, Jack got straight to the point: "What does the prince think of the war between the Reach and the Iron Throne?"
"Cersei Lannister is too greedy and too confident." A trace of barely perceptible disdain flashed in Doran Martell's eyes.
Doran Martell saw through Cersei Lannister's intentions at a glance, which was nothing more than her coveting the wealth of the Tyrell family.
The amount of supplies needed to launch a major war was enormous, and Westeros was exhausted after several civil wars.
The North has constant blood transfusions from Atlantis, so if the Iron Throne wants to win this war, it needs a "nutritious blood bag" to nourish itself.
Originally, the marriage between the Iron Throne and the Tyrell family was a foregone conclusion, but Jack Poseidon came to Westeros with his dragon, just as Joffrey Baratheon was poisoned at his own wedding.
The cunning "Queen of Thorns" of Highgarden immediately made a judgment and led her people directly back to the Riverlands. It was obvious that she wanted to rely on everyone to win over Highgarden, then watch the fire from the other side, and finally take sides after the situation became clear.
As a result, Cersei Lannister and Jack Poseidon did not play the "Game of Thrones" according to the rules at all, resulting in the Reach being besieged by the Westerlands, the Crownlands, and the Stormlands first.
