Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep - Chapter 238

c236 Steel Coal Mine.

Faced with Margaery’s question, Olenna shook her head, “It can’t be said that the chances of winning are slim, it can only be said that our information is too backward.”

“You should know the price of this Poseidon Brew, right?” Olenna pointed to the wine on the table.

Margaery nodded. Of course she knew about Poseidon Brew. The newly emerged fine wine, even the fine wine of Qingting Island was not as good as this Poseidon Brew.

Olenna continued:

“This Poseidon Brew was not developed by the Dornish.

Poseidon’s base camp is on an archipelago near the continent of Sothoryos, which is the birthplace of Poseidon Brew.

The Poseidon family not only makes money from Poseidon Brew and soap, but also has taxes from the three cities in Slaver’s Bay.

We have to face not only the North, but also an archipelago and three free trade cities in the East Continent.”

This is what Olenna is most worried about.

At first, when she faced the sudden appearance of the Poseidon family, she just thought it was a Targaryen with a different name.

But as time went on, more and more news about Atlantis and the Poseidon family reached Qingting Island, where trade was developed.

It was then that Olenna learned that Jack was not only confident in his four dragons, but also in the East Continent.

That is to say, as long as Jack’s base camp in the East Continent was not in trouble, he could hold on to the natural barrier of the North, the Bay of Cailin.

Then he would slowly grow with the continuous blood transfusion from the base camp.

The longer the time, the deeper his foundation in the North would be, and the larger the dragon would be.

When Olenna learned the news, she thought about it for a long time, and the final conclusion was that there was no solution.

The only way was to kill Jack’s four dragons.

Then, all the naval fleets of Westeros and the slave owners of the East Continent would be united to completely destroy Jack’s base camp.

Only in this way could we solve the problem once and for all.

Otherwise, even if Jack was driven out of Westeros, it would not take long for the other party to come back.

But this was easier said than done, not to mention whether the foreigners in the East Continent were reliable.

Let’s just say that three of the four major fleets in Westeros had been destroyed.

Westeros has four major fleets, namely the White Harbor Fleet of the Manderly family in White Harbor; the Royal Fleet of the Baratheon family in the Iron Throne; the Iron Fleet of the Greyjoy family in the Iron Islands; and the Arbor Fleet of the Redwyne family in the Arbor.

As a result, the Manderly family in White Harbor has been completely controlled by Poseidon, and the family fleet has been “confiscated”.

The Greyjoy family in the Iron Islands is similar. The Iron Fleet is controlled by Asha, who is Jack’s woman.

Needless to say, the Royal Fleet of the Iron Throne.

In the Battle of the Blackwater River, under the leadership of Stannis, it was directly crippled, and now there are only a few big cats and small cats.

Only the Arbor Fleet is still intact.

However, the power in the Iron Islands changed, and Euron continued to promote the tradition of the Ironmen after he came to power.

As a result, the western border and the western coast of the Reach were often looted.

In this corrupt situation, Westeros could not unite at all.

What’s more, she and Littlefinger were “exploded” by Varys, which led to the turmoil within the southern nobles.

What made Olenna even more unacceptable was that the Tyrell family was one of the main reasons for the turmoil, which made it impossible for the Tyrell family to wait and see peacefully.

Fortunately, such things cannot be explained by just one mouth. As long as there is no evidence, it is enough to insist that it is a false accusation.

Even if Cersei is stupid, can she burn Mace and Loras with a bucket of wildfire? ——

Just when the undercurrent in the south was surging, the first blizzard hit the northern province.

This blizzard came very suddenly, starting suddenly in the middle of the night, and has lasted for two days without stopping.

The north wind was howling, and the Silver Palace became a real Silver Palace, covered in silver.

There was constant wind and snow outside, and Jack’s room was cooking a copper stove hot pot, neatly curling, filled with the mellow aroma of lamb.

Lyanna Mormont and Myrcella Baratheon were talking in whispers, Asha Greyjoy was eating, and Daenerys Targaryen was feeding the two little ones carefully.

Swallowing the mutton in her mouth, Asha drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

“Great, I don’t know what else you can’t do.” Asha said with some emotion, Jack always has some unexpected skills.

For example, the copper furnace hot pot, and the coal stove and coal balls under the hot pot, each of which is not something a king can do.

Especially the invention of coal balls and coal stoves made Asha more eager to take back the Iron Islands. The most common things on the Iron Islands are coal mines and iron mines.

It’s just that the people of the Iron Islands have always advocated plundering, and the price of iron ore and refined iron blocks is far apart.

In contrast, the money earned from digging iron ore is not as much as that earned from fishing, not to mention the faster money earned from plundering.

But now it is different. Jack not only invented coal briquettes and coal stoves, turning cheap and toxic coal into treasure, but also brought more advanced ironmaking technology, greatly improving the efficiency of ironmaking.

Now with the construction of the North, more and more places use steel, and iron ore and coal mines will inevitably become best-selling products in Westeros.

By then, relying on the steel and coal on the island, it will be able to make a fortune.
