Four months passed quickly.
Jack successfully reached the Narrow Sea according to the planned trajectory, and would reach Sunspear City in three more days.
A lot of big things happened during these four months.
The first thing was that the Sons of the Harpy were completely eradicated in Meereen.
The Lorak family and the Marek family coincidentally reported the other families at the same time.
Their two major families were pardoned by Daenerys, but the other four great lord families were directly uprooted, and two of the pyramids were rewarded to the two major families.
Dany also organized her nobles and participated in the cooperation with the Big Wave Merchant Guild, which completely connected Meereen and Yunkai together.
Atlantis also began to purchase slaves on a large scale and opened up the location of the Seychelles Islands.
A large number of merchants purchased young slaves from other free trade cities and then sold them to Trident Island, one of the five affiliated islands of Neptune Island.
They then used the money from the sales to purchase goods on Crescent Island, which sold a large amount of soap, glass, silk and other commodities.
But Neptune Island is still not open to the public, and countless businessmen are curious about Neptune Island in the center of the archipelago.
However, although they were full of curiosity, no one dared to sneak into the area of Sea King Island.
Because that is the lair of the sea god. If you are not an Atlantean, rushing in will only result in the destruction of the ship and the death of people.
Nowadays, people are skeptical about the Atlantis sea god. Except for those who have seen Poseidon with their own eyes, no one else believes that there can be a more powerful creature older than the dragon.
Many people have spotted Godzilla in the waters of the Seychelles, some of whom are bragging or have mistaken the creature for the other.
But some businessmen really saw Godzilla, because after the Seychelles were announced, Poseidon came back to protect the islands.
At that time, the 300 warships of Volantis were divided into two groups, one hundred of which wanted to head straight for the Seychelles Islands.
As a result, they were intercepted by Poseidon who was driven back halfway. All the hundred large ships were torn to pieces, and thousands of people were killed and all were eaten by fish.
This battle shocked the world and made people who had seen Poseidon realize that the reason why the God of the Sea was the God of the Sea was not because of Atlantis' bragging, but because the God of the Sea in the sea was like a real god.
After suffering heavy losses here, the two hundred warships heading to Slave Bay lost all their will to fight.
Eventually, they were ambushed by merchant ships that Daenerys had temporarily rented and modified. In the end, only thirty warships were left behind and they hurried away. Daenerys now had her own warships.
As for the Qarth camel soldiers who originally came to support, it was like a joke that they turned back halfway.
The Volantenes did not believe in the legend of the sea god. They thought that these one hundred warships were ambushed like them, and in the end everyone was willing to fight to the end, which led to the annihilation of the entire army.
For this reason, Volantis officially declared war on Meereen and Atlantis, and actively called on other city-states to boycott Atlantis' products.
At the same time, it announced that it would organize a huge alliance and then launch thousands of warships to attack Slave Bay and the Seychelles Islands.
Although Volantis' slogan was loud and clear, there were many people who responded, such as Qarth, New Ghis, Toros, etc.
But in fact, except for Volantis which took action to boycott Atlantis, other city-states were just making a show of it.
Then he did business as usual and invited the Giant Wave Chamber of Commerce to move in, without paying any attention to what Volantis said.
Even Volantis itself had many merchants selling Atlantean wine, soap, silk, glass and other goods.
After all, although Daenerys shouted about liberating the world's slaves, she obviously did not continue to do so after occupying the Slave Bay.
Although they no longer had the slave trading center of the three cities in Slave Bay.
But there will naturally be other cities in Essos to replace Slaver's Bay and become the next Meereen, Yunkai, and Astapor.
For example, Qohor, which is adjacent to the Dothraki Sea.
Since Slaver's Bay became the Free Coast, all Dothraki slaves were sold to Qohor.
Another example is New Gis.
Because Daenerys' goal was the Iron Throne, after occupying the Free Coast, she did not continue to attack New Ghis.
Therefore, the slave trade in New Ghis experienced unprecedented development, and part of the business in Slave Bay was absorbed by New Ghis.
The entire Essos calmed down temporarily. Taking this opportunity, Daenerys began to accumulate strength to build warships. At the same time, she placed a large number of warship orders with Braavos, which also opposed slavery.
Braavos had just completed Atlantis' order, and then received Daenerys' order.
At the rate at which Braavos launches a warship every few days, Braavos will be able to earn at least two million gold dragons this time, with Meereen taking the lion's share.
Because Atlantis not only modified 39 large ships, but also ordered a large number of speedboats.
When the goods were finally delivered, he took away hundreds of older shipbuilding craftsmen for the price of two hundred gold royals.
There are as many shipbuilding craftsmen as you need in Braavos.
As a city-state made up of a large number of small islands, the thing they have the most is shipbuilders.
Once these hundreds of older shipbuilders were bought, their shipyards would be able to recruit more young shipbuilders in a blink of an eye.
Although these workers were not slaves, they were actually considered the same as slaves by the nobles of Braavos.
They just need to pay their wages.
It is also because of this that this group of older shipbuilders are all very experienced.
But not only is the wage high, but the physical strength required to work is also insufficient.
On the contrary, the young craftsmen recruited can acquire rich shipbuilding experience in just a few years.
At the same time, they will have better physical strength and can provide a few more years of work to the shipyard.
So when the shipyard in Braavos heard that Atlantis was recruiting experienced shipbuilders.
They sold these old workers to Atlantis in the form of outsourcing.
This group of old workers had to sell their property and move to Atlantis with their families.
Because Braavos has no shortage of shipbuilders. They have devoted their entire lives to shipbuilding and they know nothing else but shipbuilding.
This results in no one being willing to recruit them when they become unemployed, and rich experience is no longer an indispensable advantage.
Because the shipbuilding technology is there, the young man can become a master in just a few years.
Then you can work for the shipyard for a few more years in the prime of your life.
It's much more cost-effective than these old guys in their thirties and forties.
So if they stayed in Braavos, they would starve to death sooner or later, so they might as well go to Atlantis and take a gamble.
They don't need good treatment, they just hope to get one tenth of the pie that the Atlanteans have promised.
You have to know that the Atlanteans paid them on an annual basis, 13 gold dragons a year, plus various vacations and benefits.
Even if they don't want half of it, they will be satisfied with just the three golden dragons. As for vacations and benefits, they don't care at all. They know it's fake as soon as they hear it.
So when Atlantis left Braavos, there were 756 additional shipbuilding masters on board, as well as their families, a total of three thousand people.
