Chapter 17
[Bonus Chapter! Thanks for reaching 1000 libraries!!]
Jon sighed as soon as he woke up, he was already in the white room. The boy didn't understand how he got there, but he quickly realized that he leveled up while sleeping, it wasn't unusual, experience points are gained through actions, so the fact that Valyria improved its defenses and spent magic should have increased his experience, not to mention that his creatures roamed all over Valyria, and hunted among other things that gave him experience as well.
The boy watched the monitor.
{Congratulations you have leveled up.
You have seven skill points to spend.}
He remembered that he had four from the previous level, two more for each level and one for his title. The boy pulled up the player's menu.

The boy pressed exit and got out of bed.
He looked at the door and walked out.

Robb looked intently at his side on the bed.
Talisa was still asleep.
Although Talisa was no longer the way to call her.
Rather, Talisa Stark the Queen of the North.
The boy and the girl got married in secret, with only Dacey as company.
Robb did not wish to dishonor her and married her after Jaime's capture.
His mother was not pleased, as she wanted Robb married to someone with armies to support him.
He had been engaged in marriage to one of the daughters of Walder Frey, a river lord who would allow him to cross his bridge into the Twins, and provide him with an army.
Now the Stark lady had to cancel the marriage and that would have consequences. Robb knew that, but it could not be avoided.
He had sent men to hunt down the ironborn, the captured fortresses of the north, and to capture Jaime Lannister.
His information said that Stannis' attack failed, thanks to two factors, the first being the complete destruction of his fleet at sea, with a Valyrian fire trap orchestrated by Tyrion Lannister, the dwarf.
The second, Tywin arrived with his army in time for the destruction of Stannis' army, there was no news of him.
Robb did not trust Stannis, because of what his mother told him.
"He killed my brother with magic" he muttered.
Talisa stirred in her sleep, the fact that the woman was naked on the bed made it impossible for Robb to concentrate, preferring to use his eyes to scan the woman's large figure.
He shook his head.
" The best thing would be to involve Uncle Edmure," he thought.
It was not the same thing to make Frey's daughter queen as to make her the wife of the guardian of the land of rivers, but there was no other option.
" Robb" the girl murmured as she stood up.

Jon sighed as he listened to Arthur.
"And there's one more tower," the mercenary said.
The boy had been listening all morning to the improvements Arthur wanted to make, which the mercenary said were extremely necessary.
The rest of the mercenaries were divided.
Sam was making improvements with magical fuel in the area, in central Valyria.
Sansa, with the help of Pyp and a dozen mercenaries, is at the healing center of Valyria, recovering manuscripts and potions, also improving some houses and buildings.
Grenn and Jen also went with mercenaries to explore the Valyrian fields.
Adam the markets.
He, Arthur, and Danny were in the military camp area.
Jon gave a boast that if he spent all his magical power per day, he could greatly increase his level, and improve all of Valyria.
According to his estimation, it would take two or three months for all the improvements. He had chosen to never donate more than 80 percent of his mana, his reason was clear, nothing is known, he required twenty percent for a serious fight at least.
Arthur heard about the command center and of course, he wanted to be the deputy administrator of the military camps. Jon allowed him and to his surprise, Arthur handled the console perfectly well.
Arthur left for the center a few hours later, leaving Daenerys and Jon alone.
The girl hugged and kissed him when the leader of the greens left.
Jon kissed back passionately, as he had wanted to do so ever since he woke up and hadn't been able to be alone with Danny since then.
They hugged each other and walked arm in arm.
"I think hiring slaves is the best, we will free them of course, but we need people to manage the fields," she said.
"Warriors are one thing, peasants are quite another" Jon clarified.
And Daenerys nodded.
It was a big problem, Jon had a limit of summons per day, it depended on his mana, he could barely handle what the mercenaries consumed.
Three hundred men eat a lot of food, plus Jon's summons were limited now that he was also donating his mana for fuel.
The need to open vegetable fields and animal farms became as indispensable as the soldiers.
They required a lot of farmers, and of course, that would also bring huge consumption.
But even if they got them they would have problems, if the fields of Valyria were filled, rumors would spread, sooner or later they would reach the free and slave cities, which meant war.
War for which there were not enough men.
"For now we can only improve as much as we can, the defenses are useful but not enough," he said.
Danny nodded.
The girl kissed him again before returning to the center of Valyria.

Sam saw Jon arrive with a smile from ear to ear and approached him.
"What's wrong?" he said, seeing him.
He looked around, all the houses had been upgraded, as well as several places Jon didn't know existed.
" I guess you used a lot of fuel," he thought as he saw the improvements Sam had made with the computer. And he noticed that it wasn't just the buildings, the air felt less heavy, it was easier to breathe, and the squares even seemed greener than before.
"Incredible news," he said and asked him to follow him.
Danny and he accompanied him.
"What is that?" she muttered, seeing a large new building.
"The school, an educational institute like the citadel in Oldtown, the Valyrians apparently did not discriminate when it came to teaching, as I have read they gave their knowledge to both commoners and nobles," he said with wonder.
They entered a building and Jon saw that it was the fuel creation machine next to the fuel cellars.
"Why are we here? Have you eaten today? " the boy said.
Sam smiled.
"What you don't know is that the console improved the hold, now there is not just one fuel container, but fifteen of them," he said.
"Fifteen!?" Jon exclaimed.
Sam smiled.
"And not only that, I purified the center of Valyria," he said.
Jon frowned.
"Is that why the air feels thinner?" Jon asked.
"Not only the air, the water is also clean in the wells, it is not like that of the West, it is completely clean," he said.
Jon knew what he meant.
In the West they have very dirty river water, normally people get used to drinking fruit juices or wine because of that.
" And you didn't hear the best part, because the center of Valyria is purified, its magic is automatically added to the fuel machine, and creates fuel passively," he said.
"How much?" he asked.
"Five liters per day, with just the center, if all the areas are purified, I would say it would be able to withstand fifty liters per day," said Sam.
"Excellent," Jon said.
"However, to purify an area, it must have full defenses and improvements," said the boy.
"I see," Jon muttered.
"Likewise, we must improve everything, even if we attract attention, if we want to survive here, we must prepare, and Valyria will only be ready when the Drakon Center, Redsun Village, Tyria, Sansei, Oros, and Mantarys are fully activated and defensible," said Danny.
Sam nodded.

Robb looked at the twins as he retreated through the gates with his men, old Frey did not like at all that Robb Stark failed to keep his mother's promise, but he agreed to marry one of his daughters to the guardian of the Riverlands.
"That man is disgusting," Robb muttered.
He couldn't accept the idea that he would be related to Frey.
" At least he won't be my father-in-law," he thought.

Arya walked alongside the dog, at least the company was not bad, she had to admit that the dog was not well-mannered, but he was not someone evil.
The dog looked ahead and two horses were coming, ridden by a young man and a large woman in armor.
"Lady Stark," said the young woman.
"There is no Stark here," said the dog.
The woman ignored him.
" I am Brienne Tarth, I have come to take you to your mother," said the woman.
" I'm taking her, go away woman," says the dog.
Arya saw him and frowned.
"I promised her mother that I would protect her," she said.
"Enough, get out of the way woman," the dog said.
The big woman pulled out a sword, the dog attacked, Arya watched as they charged and fell. The man who had come with Brienne approached her.
"Summon smoke bomb" she muttered.
The boy saw how a kind of black stone appeared in Arya's hand, she threw it to the ground and a wave of smoke came out of it.
Arya walked away from the man, hiding in the smoke.
"muffle," she muttered and walked out of there. She saw the dog lying on the ground and thought he was dead.
"Neither the dog nor anyone else will interfere with my revenge" she swore.
She looked up and thought of the faceless killer and the coin he gave her. She pulled it out of her pocket.
"It's decided, I'm going to Bravos"
[T/N: WARPATH! GET THEM GIRLY!]

Jon watched intently as the sellswords ate at a large table, he was sitting in the top corner with Arthur, Danny, Sansa, and Adam.
" The green ones, who are looking for information, will arrive in a few days" Adam whispered in the signs.
[T/N: The F*CK ARE THE GREEN ONES! maybe the Green men?]
"By then we must create the fields, improve them," said Arthur.
"I think I can help with that," Adam said.
Jon looked at him.
"How? " he asked.
" You have heard of Lhazar" Jon heard.
At this, he nodded, he had heard of the place, Lhazar is a region of semi-arid lands south of the Dothraki Sea. He had met a Lhazar woman who was kidnapped by a noble he eliminated in Pentos.
" Despite having bad locations, the Lhazareena of Lhazar specialize in herding, and they also plant many crops. I think that if you improve the fields, they will be able to work them," he said.
Jon blinked.
Those were not slaves.
"And will they agree to leave Lhazar?" Jon asked.
Arthur snorted.
"Why not?" he murmured.
Jon looked at him confused.
"It seems you are not aware, living in Lhazar is difficult, not only is the land very arid, but there are constant attacks from Dothrakis," Adam said.
"Lhazareena are the horse master's favorite slaves, easy to train, weak, and living close to their homes," Arthur said.
"And they will keep it a secret?" Jon asked.
"They will not be allowed to leave Valyria until we are safe, and of course, they will swear loyalty," Adam said.
Jon nodded.
At least for the moment.
They weren't slaves, which made the boy feel better.
"What about the Unsullied?" Jon asked Arthur.
"We are negotiating, but we need ships to transport them, it will take time," he said.
" There is another way, too, " Danny whispered.
The atmosfeer shifted
"What way?" he asked.
"Conquering the slave cities," she said.
Jon looked at her in disbelief.
"How would we do that?" he asked.
"Slave cities depend on their slaves, and if we free them, offering them freedom, it will bring rebellions from within," she said.
Arthur became thoughtful.
"It's true," he said.
"Many will fall, of course, but that way, you will have cities capable of creating ships, training soldiers, and obtaining resources" Arthur clarified.
"But the three hundred men of the greens are not enough to do that," he said.
Arthur nodded.
"You can give the Unsullied the first order to finish off the masters" Arthur finished.
Jon didn't know what to think.
On the one hand, it was dishonorable.
[T/N: Honor has no place in a war!]
But on the other hand, they were slavers.
"Let's hope the fields are ready, and Valyria has enough resources before anything else," he said.
Arthur nodded.
