Chapter 5: Expensive Soldiers

It must be said that Newgate had extensive knowledge of navigation, and the Sea Dog had not taken any detours in the past month.

They always arrive at every supply point accurately.

A week ago, System KK ran away, but before running away, out of humanitarianism, the system gave Jack a box of instant noodles.

Damn it, Jack felt that the system was just trying to disgust him before he left by actually giving him a box of instant noodles.

But one thing is for sure, the instant noodles are really delicious.

And even if the system runs away, as long as Godzilla is here, he can still stand at the top of the world.

"Oh, by the gods, this doesn't taste like human food every time I eat it."

Newgate savored the instant noodles that Jack handed to him.

"Yeah, the instant noodles at Little Raccoon are pretty good."

"Raccoon? These strange words, are they pronounced raccoon?" Newgate said curiously.

"That's right, little raccoon. By the way, do you know how much an Unsullied costs?"

"The Unsullied are not sold individually, usually the minimum is a 10-man team, ranging from 270 to 300 gold.

It all depends on whether the slave owner wants to kill you or not. Sometimes the minimum purchase price is 100."

"Are the Unsullied sold individually? And the minimum quantity is ten?" Jack looked shocked.

He was not very clear about the price of the Unsullied. He only knew that the Unsullied was expensive, but he did not know how expensive it was exactly.

According to the introduction in the original drama, after Daenerys robbed Xaro's palace and bought the ship, the remaining money could only buy about a hundred Unsullied.

In the end, he used a young dragon to get 8,000 Unsullied.

Of course, Daenerys's method is not realistic because Daenerys has living dragons.

Moreover, in the hundreds of years of Astapor's history, there has never been anyone like Dany who has no credibility and gets something for nothing.

This also led to the Great Lord of Astapor handing over the command of the Unsullied to Daenerys without reservation.

The result is obvious. The good man was careless and did not dodge, so he was burned to death by Daenerys' dragon fire.

In a sense, Daenerys is the perfect pirate.

First they robbed Zaro's palace, bought a ship, and then robbed the Unsullied of Astapor.

Of course, maybe Dany didn't have this idea originally, but due to various coincidences, the gods really gave her dragons and armies.

Jack now has 312 gold coins in his hand, which he robbed in the past month. On average, a small merchant ship can provide him with about 10 gold coins.

Even several small pirate groups wanted to follow Jack, but were all rejected by Jack.

To Jack, pirates were not as loyal or capable as slaves.

These pirates were just lazy and slacking off. Seeing that Jack was younger, they wanted Jack to support them for free.

"How long will it take us to reach Astapor?" Jack inquired.

"It will probably take another month. Your ship is running very fast. This is very strange. Logically, it should take us at least half a year to reach Slaver Bay at our speed."

"Maybe I'm a lucky person favored by the sea god. Maybe the sea goddess has lifted her skirt for me."

Jack did not explain the existence of Poseidon to Newgate. Poseidon was more like a trump card for Jack, which could save his life at the critical moment.

"This is crazy, what kind of underwear does the goddess of the sea wear? Sorry, I don't mean to offend."

Newgate is no longer as reserved as it was at the beginning.

He found that Jack was a very easy-going person and not as brutal and cruel as the pirates.

"Well, maybe white stockings and a thong. That would be pure and sexy. I love it."

Newgate didn't know what white silk and thongs were, but it must have been beautiful, and a goddess of the sea couldn't wear ugly clothes.

Just as Jack was piloting the Sea Dog to Astapor, undercurrents began to surge in Westeros.

Ever since Robert Baratheon sat on the Iron Throne, the entire kingdom has become restless.

It was as if an invisible black hand was stirring up trouble behind the scenes, constantly creating chaos.

Although Robert indulged in wine and women after ascending the throne, it did not mean that his head was filled with wine.

He keenly sensed that something was wrong; Jon Arryn's death was too bizarre.

Logically speaking, Jon Arryn could have lived another five years easily, but she suddenly fell ill and died.

The most important thing is that Robert had not heard any rumors before, which is the most crucial thing.

By the time he got the news, his adoptive father Jon Arryn was already dead.

In order to deal with the potential crisis, Robert chose to go to the cold and windy North to ask his best friend Eddard Stark for help.

If Eddard Stark, the Duke of the North, could serve as the Hand of the King, it would undoubtedly help Robert share a lot of pressure.
