Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Chapter 73 Smart People Die Early
Hooray, hooray!
The huge body of the dark green dragon flew over Lanark Island.

Why, what was he doing on Lanark Island?
Jacaerys saw the large fleet anchored off the coast of Lanark Island at a glance, and a thoughtful look suddenly appeared on his face.

The huge size of Vermax after his transformation also caused misunderstandings like Dragonstone.

But the air defenses on Lanark Island had been dismantled long ago, and it landed on the ground directly under the attack of arrows.

After seeing Jakaris wearing dragon-patterned armor, the attack naturally stopped immediately.

As he jumped off Womacks, a group of figures walked quickly towards him.

Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Jakaris immediately put on a formal smile.

In a more enthusiastic tone, he shouted: "Grandpa, long time no see!

I was planning to invite you to come get together once the situation stabilizes, but I didn't expect you to come to Lanark Island to see me first!"

Upon hearing this, Earl Collis immediately bowed and said with a smile: "Greetings, His Majesty Jacaris!
I had intended to return the food supplies I was holding for you to Bloodstone Island.

But the people who stayed there told me that you moved your base to Lanark Island.

Since I have already left the Secret Steps Island, I might as well come here directly to meet you."

"Grandpa, why are you being so formal? I still prefer you to call me Xiaojie.

What a coincidence! I just came back from visiting Baena at Dragonstone."

"Dragonstone? Wasn't she taken back to Tidemark by your grandmother?
"Well, maybe I've been too busy lately. I didn't expect that I could make a slip of the tongue."

"Then you should pay more attention to rest. By the way, how is Benila's recovery?"

"He's recovered pretty well, but he insisted on following me back to Lanark Island.

Of course I won't agree to her request, after all, she needs someone to help her walk now."

"Haha, that's just her personality. She's as strong-willed as a boy."

……

The old man and the young man chatted as they walked towards the inner city of Lanark. To outsiders, their relationship seemed very harmonious.

Through the occasional mentions of his childhood, Jacaerys had determined that Earl Corliss was not a Faceless Man.

Back in the mayor's study in the inner city of Lanark, Jacaerys, knowing that he must have something to say, dismissed everyone.

He was flipping through the parchment on the desk where Stone had recorded important information from the past ten days.
While speaking, he said, "Grandpa, there are only two of us in the room now."

Hearing this, the smile on Count Collis's face suddenly disappeared.

He took two steps forward and growled in a voice that could only be heard in the room: "Jacaerys Velaryon, do you know what you are doing?
I won’t talk about the burning of the town of Lamo and the thousands of people who died.

But that is Tyrosh, a country with a history of four to five thousand years and a population of nearly two hundred thousand!"

"The mastermind behind the assassination on Bloodstone Island that left Benilla seriously injured and unconscious was Lord Pachek of Tyrosh.

Moreover, I gave them a chance to live, but what I got in return was another assassination!

If it weren't for the fact that I am a real dragon and not afraid of fire.

You should be talking to me at my grave right now.

Oh, by the way, I definitely won’t have a grave after I die.

They would have ground my body into dust, or fed it to the dogs.

But it doesn’t matter. I don’t care if there’s a flood after I die.

But as long as I am alive, I will never allow anyone to touch my reverse scale!"

Earl Collis's face was as gloomy as water at this time. His impression of Jacaerys was still stuck on the time when he was crowned king on Bloodstone Island.

In just a few months, this 'grandson' who used to be very dependent on him seemed to have really turned into a cruel king.

However, the only thing that made him feel relieved was that Jacaerys could regard Benilla as his Achilles' heel.

But this was just Earl Collis's wishful thinking.

What Jakaris refers to as a "reverse scale" actually refers to any behavior that threatens his life.

"Anyway, your destruction of Tyrosh and the killing of nearly 200,000 people is a terrifying thing to hear! You may not know the current situation of the Seven Kingdoms. More and more nobles have pledged allegiance to Queen Alicent in private.

They will certainly use this as an excuse to attack.”

"Hey, my right to inherit the Iron Throne has been taken away from me, how else can they attack me?"

Seeing that Jacaris looked completely indifferent.

Lord Collis shook his head and said, “Even if your inheritance rights are taken away from you, you are still the eldest son of Crown Princess Rhaenyra.

Just like you and I, we both bear the name Velaryon!"

Hearing this, how could Jacaris not understand the real purpose of Earl Collis's visit this time.

"Lord Collis!

So, what you're really worried about is the impact of my actions on House Velaryon?"

Hearing Jacaris' sudden change of address, Earl Collis's mouth twitched slightly.

But now that he had said this, he could only bite the bullet and continue: “Little Jie… His Majesty Jakaris.

The two free cities of Lys and Volantis have successively announced that they will ban the dragons and the fleet of the Velaryon family from entering their waters.

Dragon, that's what they call you.

Once the news of Tyrosh's destruction spreads, perhaps not only Essos, but also Westeros will be affected.

Your kingdom was built upon this narrow sea, and maritime trade is as important to you as it is to us, House Velaryon.

Having heard that the governors of Myr have bent the knee to you, I request exclusive trading rights with them.

Believe me, I can use relatively gentle trade methods to make them sincerely accept your rule! "

"Grandpa, I was actually worried about how to rule Myr. Thank you for coming in time to solve my problem."

Jacaerys changed his address back after hearing this, and then he pointed to the parchment in his hand and said,

“It so happened that the Mir governors organized a large gladiatorial show.

You can use this opportunity to discuss trade with them.”

“A large-scale gladiatorial show?
The Myr people don’t seem to like this kind of bloody entertainment with the characteristics of Slaver’s Bay!”

Earl Collis is indeed an excellent navigator and is well aware of the characteristics of many cities in Essos.

“This was something I proposed, and it was originally going to be done on Lanark Island.

But the governors of Mir jointly advised that after they surrendered to me, some discordant voices began to emerge in the city.

So I asked you to hold this gladiatorial show in the city of Mill, just in case it is used to deter the thieves!"

Jacaerys' words immediately dispelled Earl Collis's doubts.

After all, as far as he knew, his 'grandson' really liked this kind of bloody entertainment.

"Yes, no problem. When does this gladiatorial show start?
Also, since we are going to a city that has not yet been completely ruled, I may bring a group of family soldiers with me. "

“The time is tomorrow!
Of course, your safety is the most important thing, so be sure to bring as many soldiers as possible with you."

"Well, Your Majesty Jacaerys, I will take my leave now!"

Unlike Jacaerys, Earl Collis never changed his name.

After he left, Jacaerys was the only one left in the study.

“The longer I wait, the weaker the power becomes, and the stronger my control over Myr becomes.

Governor Moser was a wise man, and so was the old sea serpent.

But the smarter a person is, the earlier he dies.

After all, this was an assassination that no one could have predicted!"
