  Chapter 256: The Future Dragon-Riders of Westeros

"You are right. Cersei Lannister is too greedy. She wants to take over Highgarden and then gather all her forces against me."

"But Cersei is too confident. The Frey family in the riverlands will be shattered at the first touch. The dragon crossbow can't even penetrate the scales of Caraxeus. The Vale has also surrendered. Now the Iron Throne is surrounded by enemies on all sides. It is the best time for the prince to take revenge."

Doran Martell looked at the smiling Jack and realized that he had to send troops. Everything was under Jack's control. The Vale would surrender, the Riverlands would be occupied, and the Reach and the Vale would most likely be won over to Jack's side. By then, only the Westerlands and the Stormlands would remain on the Iron Throne, and there would be no chance of winning.

"Your Majesty is right. This is indeed the best time for revenge. Tomorrow I will summon all my vassals to march north to King's Landing."

Doran Martell made his attitude clear, which made Jack very satisfied. If the old fox Doran insisted on playing some tricks on him, he would inevitably waste some time.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that you carried out reforms in the North. Is this true or not?"

Doran Martell began to ask questions about the issues that concerned him most.

Jack chuckled and began to tell Doran Martell his ideas.

Daolang just listened quietly. Even when he heard that the nobles' hereditary rights, military rights, and political rights were to be taken back, his expression did not change at all, and he seemed not to care about these things.

It was not until Jack explained to him the concept of the family group that he began to show some thought.

"Do you want to implement this reform throughout Westeros?" Doran Martell looked carefully into Jack's eyes, trying to determine whether Jack's next words were credible.

Jack just smiled and said, "I had no choice but to reform the North. I think the prince should be aware of the situation in the North at that time. I did not force other places. After all, I still needed the support of the nobles of Westeros for my rule."

No force.

Jack's words made Doran Martell feel relieved. He didn't believe that Jack would dare to take action against the nobles of Westeros. Otherwise, who would help Jack govern the country?

But Prince Doran still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

But Jack quickly changed the subject, "I will ask the dukes and nobles for their opinions on the reform after conquering Westeros, so let's not talk about this for now. I heard from Shanks that the prince is very interested in the building materials of the Sea People's Chamber of Commerce building?"

All the cement was transported from Neptune Island. Jack would not build a factory anywhere else for this kind of thing that can greatly improve the defense of the building.

So far, Doran Martell only knows that this building material is called cement and is strong and durable.

Doran Martell was instantly distracted when he heard this. "Yes, Your Majesty. I wonder what the production and price of this building material is?"

"The production volume is extremely high and the price is low." Jack smiled and continued, "But you also know the effect of this thing, so I won't sell it easily."

"Your Majesty is right. This kind of strategically important material cannot be sold easily."

Doran Martell showed regret on his face, but he was secretly surprised in his heart. "Won't sell easily" means that as long as the price is high enough, it can still be sold.

Dorne and the Reach have been at odds with each other for hundreds of years, and there have been constant frictions of varying sizes. If a few castles could be built with cement on the border and a few barons could be appointed to garrison there, there would be basically nothing to worry about on the border.

Jack was a very observant person, so he naturally saw what Doran Martell was thinking.

"Prince Doran, Arianne is already 28 years old and still unmarried. Even if she wants to become a Dornish princess, she must have a man and an heir."

Jack's words made Doran Martell pause slightly. He didn't expect that Jack would actually set his sights on Arianne.

Doran Martell would definitely not believe that Jack liked Arianne or was attracted by her beauty. It was obvious that Jack was attracted by Arianne's status as heir.

If Jack's identity was ordinary, even if he was the son of a duke, it wouldn't matter, but Jack was the king of the seven kingdoms and the sea emperor of Atlantis, so there was a problem.

If Arianne and Jack were together, or even had a child, it would be uncertain who would have the final say in Dorne. The consequences of letting a wolf into the house and letting a sheep into the house are completely different.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have already chosen a husband for Arianne. Thank you for your concern." Doran Martell politely rejected Jack and did not continue to mention the cement.

In fact, although the cement produced in Neptune Island has undergone several improvements, it still cannot be compared with the real cement of later generations.

In addition, the production process of qualified steel bars has not yet been figured out, and the use of cement is still in a relatively primitive stage and has not played a real role.

"Well, as long as you have someone you like, that's all. I look forward to the warriors from Dorne meeting me at the foot of King's Landing." Jack did not continue to test Doran Martell.

Doran Martell nodded slightly, indicating that Dorne's warriors would be waiting for Jack at the gates of King's Landing.

After getting the answer he wanted from Doran, Jack Poseidon did not stay for long, but prepared to go to Pike City in the Iron Islands with the blue dragon egg.

Jack pushed open the door of the study and walked straight towards Caraxhu who was lying in front of the old tower. At this time, Arianne was not far away from Caraxhu, staring at him blankly.

"He is so beautiful, like a crimson gem, isn't he?" Jack's voice came from behind Arianne.

"Him?" Arianne turned and looked at Jack curiously.

"Yes, him. Korakxiu is a very handsome boy." Jack introduced with a smile.

"That's right, he is indeed a handsome boy. I remember he was only six years old?" Arianne's eyes flickered.

"Soon to be six."

Arianne looked at Korakhuu with his wings spread out, and couldn't help asking, "How old is he now?"

"He is 25 meters long and has a wingspan of 75 meters. He is different from ordinary dragons. He is the Dragon King. He is destined to surpass the Black Death Balerion. Drogon and Carax are dragons of the same age. Drogon is only 16 meters long and has a wingspan of only 41 meters."

Jack did not hide the situation of Korakshu, and this data could be found out by just asking around in the North.

"Drogon? The black dragon that your wife is rumored to have?"

"Yes, Drogon is a good girl. She loves Korakshu very much. Perhaps Drogon will become the mother of ten thousand dragons like Vhagar in the future."

"Each of my children will be given a dragon egg, Sansa Stark, Myrcella Baratheon, Lyanna Mormont. Westeros will no longer be short of dragon-riding families."

"Look, this is a dragon egg prepared for the child of Asha Greyjoy and I. My bloodline is a very stable dragon rider bloodline. As long as my child is born, he will be able to control a dragon."

After saying that, Jack took out a blue dragon egg from the package he was carrying, shook it, and then put the dragon egg back into the package.

Until the strong wind caused by Carax's flapping wings woke Arianne up. Looking at Carax's receding back, she was a little confused. Will the Dragon Family be worthless in the future?

As if she had thought of something, Arianne quickly ran to her father's study.
