Chapter: 96

If time flies fast, more than a month will pass in the blink of an eye.

The Poseidon is like a palace on the sea, huge and luxurious.

Now Jack is sailing the Poseidon, with only more than a hundred people on board.

Apart from the sailors and maids, the defense force consists of only nine royal guards, and of course, Jack can be counted as one of them.

On the deck, Jack played with a trident made of Valyrian steel while teaching Ellie and Yager Chinese.

"bb, ylcw." Yager imitated Jack's words clumsily.

Ellie saw the smile in Jack's eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

Jack explained the meaning of this sentence with a wicked smile, and Yager's face turned red after hearing it.

Ellie gave Jack a wink and said it again to him.

Jager is introverted and always likes Jack to be gentle, while Ellie is wild and likes Jack to treat her roughly in various ways.

"Your Majesty, why do we have to learn Chinese?" Yager asked curiously.

Jack thought for a moment, sorted out his words and said, "Because we need a different language."

"Civilization needs its own language and culture. Chinese is a language invented by the ancient Atlantis Empire. It is noble and mysterious."

In the world of Game of Thrones, different races have different languages, and having one's own language is one of the powerful weapons for digesting colonies.

There are many different dialects spoken within Westeros.

But only two originated from it: the Old Speech, spoken by the First Men before the invasion of the Andals;

and the Common Speech, the sole language of the Seven Kingdoms, which came afterward.

Even though there are many variants of the Common Speech, the people of Dorne in the far south can communicate with the people of the North without any problems.

Alternatively, the Rhoyna may have brought their own language, which later died out.

Foreign languages ​​are either learned in the Citadel or brought into Westeros by immigrants, merchants, mercenaries, and the like.

There are many languages ​​in Essos across the strait.

Most important was the High Valyrian tongue, spoken in the old Valyrian Freehold, of which only a fragment of its former ruins remained.

Dothraki: The language spoken by the Dothraki, the native inhabitants of the Dothraki Sea.

High Valyrian: The language of the Valyrian monarchy before the Doom.

Low Valyrian: As the name suggests, the Valyrian dialect is the dialect of the nine free cities and the slave cities.

Each city has its own dialect system, and it seems that each dialect has derived its own vocabulary.

Tyrosh: Little is known about the Valyrian dialect spoken in Tyrosh, aside from its odd pronunciation.

Ghiscari: The language of the Ghiscari has been forgotten, replaced by a dialect of High Valyrian.

Qartheen.

The language of Asshai.

The language of Asshai is like a spell, blending into their spells. (Similar to Valyrian)

Lhazarin - said to be similar to singing.

Tradespeak - a language developed by seafarers that incorporates a dozen existing languages ​​from around the world (with lots of swear words) and includes hand gestures.

This shows the diversity of the world's languages.

Especially the language of Valyria, which is even divided into High Valyrian and Low Valyrian.

To this day, half of the world's population still speaks the Low Valyrian language.

So Jack planned to spend one to two generations teaching the Valyrians Chinese.

As for why Chinese was used, the reason is simple: Jack does not have the ability to create a new language.

There is no Chinese language in Ice and Fire World, so you can just use it directly, which is convenient and saves trouble.

By then, the schools in Atlantis will set Valyrian and the common language of Westeros as two professional courses.

Alas, two new professions were born after this.

It also creates a good employment environment for future Atlantis college students.

Ellie looked confused. As a bed slave, she wouldn't even know how to read if Jack hadn't taught her to read.

Jack certainly didn't expect her to understand the significance of cultural erosion.

But this did not prevent Ellie from trying to please Jack. She patted her chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will study hard and teach the islanders."

Jack smiled and patted her chest. "The residents on the island don't need to learn Chinese. What you need to do is teach their children Chinese."

The citizens of the island have basically been speaking Low Valyrian for about 20 years, and it is unrealistic to ask them to change their language.

So Jack could only start with their children, teaching Chinese as a foreign language first, and then slowly replacing the lower Valyrian language, which would take one to two generations to complete.

This was not a big deal because the hardest part - creating the language and fonts - had already been done, which was the Chinese language in Jack's mind.

"Your Majesty, we will soon arrive at Astapor Dock." Ge came to Jack and reported.

"Huh? We're here so soon?" Jack was a little surprised.

"It's getting late, Your Majesty. We are sailing very fast, and the Unsullied have already landed at the docks of Astapor."

The Unsullied first boarded the dock at Astapor by boat, and they needed to control the dock before Jack got off the ship.

Soon the huge Poseidon docked at the dock of Astapor, and Jack walked off the Poseidon under the gaze of five thousand Unsullied.

The Valyrian Freehold destroyed the ancient Ghis Empire, and Astapor was a surviving Ghis colony.

It was once conquered by the Valyrians and established as a center for the slave trade.

The Ghiscari language has been largely forgotten by the people of this area.

Before leading her army to Yunkai, Dany left a council of three people for Astapor - a doctor, a scholar, and a priest.

Later the parliament was abolished by the butcher king Cleon.

After gaining power over the Council, Cleon executed the three men, then captured all the children of the nobility and began training new Unsullied.

Every pyramid in Astapolis was turned into a military camp, lies of death were spread everywhere in the streets, and the shops were rarely filled with food but with various slaves.

At this time, Astapor had already closed its gates.

Since Meereen launched the war, Astapor has closed its gates, and only the fleet controlled by Cleon can go out every day.

Jack came to the dock and shouted:

"Everyone, you have set foot on this land again. Perhaps this place was once your nightmare, but today, under the witness of the Sea King and the Sea God, you will crush the nightmare with your own hands."

As soon as Jack finished speaking, he suddenly hit the ground hard with the trident in his hand.

Then, dull roars were heard from the ocean and the sky, and a giant red dragon with a wingspan of more than three meters descended from the sky and then crawled at Jack's feet.

Immediately afterwards, a blue beam of light shattered the wooden bridge of the dock, and Godzilla came ashore from the deep sea and stood beside Jack in the awe-filled eyes of everyone.

"Soldiers, do you need a rest?"

The Unsullied did not answer, but simply struck the ground with their spears, following Kaido's lead.
