Chapter 20: Borrowing a Boat

At the critical moment, Jack suddenly pulled out a half-meter-long wooden ruler from his waist and hit Drogon directly on the head.

With a bang, Drogon fell to the ground. Young dragons are still too fragile.

He picked up the unconscious Drogon and threw it back into the cage, "Don't worry, it's just fainted, it will wake up soon."

Dany was relieved when she saw Drogon was still breathing vigorously.

But Jorah said, "Khaleesi, your young dragon should be fine, but I suggest you stay away from this man. He gives me a very violent feeling."

Jack looked at the Sheep, Two-Faced Turtle, Black Tiger, and Tom in Game of Thrones. Of course, Jack still preferred to call Jorah the God of Pure Love and War.

Jack has great respect for the pure love warriors. Although Jack himself has inherited Wei Wu's ambition, it does not prevent him from admiring and respecting the pure love god of war.

But then again, Jorah is really pitiful. In the end, he didn't win Daenerys' heart. In Dany's heart, he has always been a loyal guardian knight.

Even Daario was stronger than Jorah Mormont.

"Hello, Big Bear."

"???" Qiao La showed a puzzled look on his face, "Do you know me?"

"Of course, your father became a night watchman so that you could inherit the family business.

But you squandered your family fortune for a woman and ended up selling slaves, and were sentenced to death by Eddard Stark.

But you did not confess your sin, nor did you serve as a night watchman. You did not take the blame and fled to Essos."

Daenerys widened her eyes slightly, she didn't expect Jorah to have such a past, because Jorah really didn't look like the kind of person Jack described.

Jorah Mormont was very nervous at this time. Jack's words made him realize that Jack was most likely from Westeros.

So he's very nervous now, and he doesn't know if Jack knows about his previous spying on Daenerys for the Iron Throne.

Patting Jorah on the shoulder, he said, "Your cousin is much better than you. You are like a giant baby who is in love. You first violated the laws of the Seven Kingdoms, then did not take your responsibilities and ran to Essos. Finally, you spied on Dany for wealth for the Iron Throne. This is really terrible. But don't worry, I will never tell Dany about these things."

Jack did not suppress his voice at all, and even raised the volume slightly, which immediately made the surrounding nobles' eyes light up, thinking that there was something to eat.

Jack looked at the confused Dany and said, "What are you looking at? Forget it. I will not tell you Jorah Mormont's identity as a spy for the Iron Throne. Don't even think about it!"

At this time, Jorah Mormont was the first to react and immediately said to Dany: "Khaleesi, I am loyal to you. I am not a spy for the Iron Throne. I love you!"

At this moment, a gleam of light flashed in the wizard's eyes. If he could get rid of Jorah Mormont, it would be easier to steal the dragon.

The wizard stood up and said, "Mother of Dragons, Father of Dragons is from Westeros. Perhaps you should seriously consider what Father of Dragons said, for your own safety!"

"If you really care about Khaleesi's safety, you shouldn't believe this merchant!" Jorah glared at Jack angrily.

But underneath Jorah's anger, there was a serious sense of guilt.

"If you want to attract Khaleesi's attention, then you don't have to do this. If you have the guts, have a fair fight with me."

I have to say that Jorah still has some brains. He was able to think of a clever way of saying something that changed the subject and changed the concept.

And Daenerys came back to her senses at this time, "You are from Westeros?"

Daenerys is now eager to know the current situation of the Seven Kingdoms.

"When I came, about half a year ago, the Duke of the North, Eddard Stark, set off for King's Landing and became the Hand of the King."

Daenerys' heart sank. The Wolf and Deer families were now more closely connected, and she had to quickly find a way to expand her strength.

As to whether Jorah is really a spy for the Iron Throne, Dany doesn't know, but she knows that Jorah is now one of the few people she has available.

So Dany was smart for once. She turned to Jorah and said firmly, "I believe you. You don't have to do this. Besides, Jack Poseidon is a businessman. He won't fight you one-on-one."

Upon hearing this, Qiao La was extremely moved. To A Fei, a bootlicker, the goddess' trust was sweeter and happier than anything else.

But the seeds of doubt have been planted. The eyes of the masses are sharp, and only a bootlicker believes that his goddess will completely trust him.

The atmosphere of the banquet became lively again, and Jack, who satisfied everyone's craving for melons, naturally became the center of attention.

Many businessmen were envious of Korakshu eating at the table. Who wouldn't want such an obedient young dragon?

Everyone kept flattering Jack. In their opinion, Jack would definitely be at the top of the world in the future.

The Dragon Father has a huge fleet and an obedient dragon, which is much better than the Dragon Mother who has an uncertain future.

The only pity is that the Father of Dragons does not have the national hatred and family feuds that the Mother of Dragons has, otherwise they would be happy to support the Father of Dragons in ruling Westeros.

Time passed slowly and the banquet finally ended. Jack said goodbye to the group of stunned businessmen who had been fooled by him.

But Daenerys stayed and found Yannick, hoping that each of the thirteen nobles could sponsor her with ten ships, and she would reward her handsomely when she took the Iron Throne.

But Yannick showed little interest. For them, investing in the Dragon Mother was not a good choice.

Daenerys is just a 14-year-old girl with no army, no talents, no territory, and no allies in Westeros.

The Thirteen Lords have thousands of ships, and 130 ships are not a small number for Daenerys. Moreover, Daenerys not only lacks ships, she has nothing but dragons. The extremely long investment cycle makes the Thirteen Lords unable to see any returns.

Of course, this is only the opinion of some giants, among whom Xaro Xanwan Dasos has different ideas.

He had previously invested in a business with the intention of seizing the spice market from Yannick, but ended up being schemed against by Yannick and suffered a loss. Now even his capital turnover has become a problem.

So he joined forces with the wizard and developed a very crazy plan, which was to kill the other giants, the wizard imprisoned Dany and the dragon, and he became the supreme monarch of Qarth.

Qarth was originally a monarchy, but later it was ruled by the princes of Qarth. The Princes' Council of Qarth was more like a parliament, and it was the power struggle during that period that led to the rise of the merchants of Qarth.

Just after Yannick severely humiliated Dany and when Dany was in dismay, Xaro came to Daenerys and comforted her softly.

"I'm sorry. Although I am one of the Thirteen Great Lords like them, their vision is really worrying. I think you are a good investment target. You are young and have a dragon. As long as there is time, you will definitely be the king of Westeros."

Dany immediately showed a look of surprise and asked excitedly: "Are you willing to help me take back the Iron Throne?"

Xaro showed an appropriately embarrassed look on his face, "I know you can become the Lord of the Iron Throne.

However, your dragons take time to grow, and armies and ships are bottomless pits.

Although I have a treasure trove that can do this, it is the wealth I have accumulated throughout my life, and I dare not gamble, unless..."

"Unless what?" Dany suddenly had a bad feeling.

"As for me, I have the right to support you, but we have to become a family, and you have to marry me, so that I won't lose both my money and my life."

Daenerys took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, let me think about it. My husband just died."

"Of course no problem, no rush, I will always entertain you and your people."

Zaro is very patient. It would be best to delay for a while until the wizard kills the rest of the giants. That would be the best time.
