Just when the atmosphere was becoming increasingly depressing, Jack suddenly laughed.
Jack stood up and patted Asidov on the shoulder: "Asidov, good, good. The Prime Minister is old. You have to work harder."
Asidol was not excited when he heard this.
After Jack's silence for a while, Jack's words made him a little scared. He didn't know what Jack was thinking.
"Why are you here so early? Have you two eaten?" Jack asked suddenly.
"Your Majesty, we really haven't eaten." Newgate said directly and truthfully.
"In that case, let's sit down and eat together. Come on, prepare two more breakfasts."
"By the way, Asidorf, do you like white bread or steamed buns and fried dough sticks?"
Asidol's eyes twitched, and he said without hesitation: "Of course I like to eat steamed buns and fried dough sticks. These delicacies you created are delicious."
This statement is somewhat against my will, but only somewhat against my will.
As a high-ranking slave, Asidolf ate well under his slave master, including wheat bread, milk, eggs, sausages, etc.
So he was not like ordinary slaves, who used to eat the same food as livestock and could adapt directly to foods like fried dough sticks and steamed buns.
Although he thinks things like steamed buns and fried dough sticks taste okay, he prefers to eat a piece of bread and drink a glass of warm milk in the morning.
But he certainly couldn't tell the truth at this time. In his opinion, Jack was not as friendly as Newgate said. Instead, he was an erratic young king.
Newgate sat in front of Jack confidently, while Asidorf was a little nervous.
Soon the maids brought up two prepared breakfasts.
When Asidol saw the breakfast the maid placed in front of him, his face suddenly changed and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
broken!
There are bad people among the crowd!
Jack smiled and said, "What's wrong? Don't you like it? I remember you had a piece of bread and a glass of warm milk every morning."
Although Jack is not on Poseidon Island, as it is his carefully built base, it is naturally impossible for him to just leave it alone.
Among the first group of people, Jack bribed some of them to be spies. Now this group of people have become regular employees and became spies of Seagull.
"Don't just stand there, eat quickly." Newgate also noticed something was wrong and immediately reminded Asidol.
Jack picked up a small soup dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling, "Eat, eat. Eating is the happiest thing. After you are full, all your worries disappear."
Asidol was relieved when he heard this.
What Jack meant was that after this meal, I will not pursue the matter of your lying.
Asidol ate the bread in big mouthfuls and then drank the milk in one breath.
Not to mention, this feeling of surviving a disaster makes the bread and milk taste a little sweeter.
Newgate and Jack were talking while eating. As the person who had followed Jack the longest, he had completely adapted to Jack's eating habits.
However, after he became prime minister, he asked Rutger to search the world for the snack called instant noodles, but he couldn't find it.
"Asidov is right, and his analysis of the situation is very accurate, so I have decided not to return to Meereen."
Newgate was relieved when he heard Jack's decision.
But he still said, "I heard from the Merchants' Fleet that you told Queen Daenerys that you would be back in two months. Is that okay?"
Newgate was worried that Jack would offend Daenerys and create an extra enemy out of nowhere.
Jack said you're overthinking it.
"Daenerys and I are not really in a superior-subordinate relationship. To put it bluntly, I am her advisor, helping her gain a foothold in Slaver's Bay."
"Once she gains a foothold, she will be involved in a long war with the slave owners, at least until her dragon grows up."
"So even if I don't go back, she won't turn against us. She will even get closer to us. After all, with my relationship with her, Meereen and Atlantis are potential allies."
"We can take advantage of this time to develop steadily and reduce the power of both the Free Cities and Meereen. We can also make some money by selling grain and wine."
Jack expressed her thoughts. She originally planned to use her beauty to win over Dany, her dragons, and the Unsullied.
But later he discovered that even if Dany rolled her eyes after being "beaten" by him, she would not give up her army and dragons.
Her obsession with the Iron Throne is deeply rooted in her blood, so Jack can either become a husband or a lover.
Therefore, the promise to Dany was dispensable in his eyes.
Of course, Jack still had to write a letter and make up an excuse.
If he didn't go back without saying anything, then with Daenerys's love-minded personality, Jack would really worry that she would ride a dragon to burn him in the future.
After hearing what Jack said, Newgate felt relieved. After all, one more friend is always better than one more enemy, especially an enemy with a dragon.
The two of them ate and talked. Now the army of Atlantis only has about 7,000 Unsullied, and the official navy has recruited 3,000 people.
There are a total of 10,000 people. Jack plans to train the Unsullied into navy and equip them with new equipment.
Of course, this takes time, and Jack is not in a hurry. There are only more than 30,000 people in Atlantis now, and it is impossible to support a standing army of 10,000 people. He still needs these people to open up wasteland and farm.
The Unsullied are simply invincible when it comes to cutting trees and plowing fields. They are extremely efficient and not lazy at all.
In addition, there are large ships being sent to Braavos for transformation, which will be completed in two months. By then, Atlantis will truly have a navy.
As the two talked, Asidol next to them was amazed.
He originally thought that Atlantis' finances had hit rock bottom, but he didn't expect there were still three million gold dragons.
Jack even had 500,000 gold dragons left in Meereen, but he would bring the money back when the Guild of Commerce went to Meereen next month.
After Jack finished his meal, Newgate also finished his meal and asked the servants to clean up the dishes. Jack then followed Newgate to the place where the sea monster ate people.
This was what Jack originally wanted to call Newgate about, but Newgate came with Asidorf, so Jack temporarily let go of the matter.
Soon Jack and his four companions arrived at the place where the sea monster was eating people, and the little secretary Viteli also followed.
As a capable and competent secretary, Vittorio must always protect Jack.
In addition to Vittril, there is also Ge. This guy has become very powerful in recent months, and Newgate has bought many top gladiators as sparring partners for him.
Moreover, these gladiators all became Kingsguards, and Newgate formed a nine-man Kingsguard around Go.
According to Newgate, the Iron Throne has seven Kingsguards, so our Sea King must have nine!
Moreover, in the myth of the creation of the sea god compiled by Jack, nine is the extreme number, and Newgate himself is particularly obsessed with the number nine.
