Chapter 96 Need a break?

If time flies fast, it will take more than a month in the blink of an eye.

The Neptune is like a palace on the sea, huge and luxurious.

Now Jack is driving the Neptune to sea, and there are only more than 100 people on board.

Apart from the sailors and maids, the defense force only had nine Imperial Guards, and of course, Jack could also be counted as one.

On the deck, while playing with a trident made of Valyrian steel, Jack taught Ellie and Jager Chinese.

"BB, ylcw." Jager imitated Jack's words clumsily.

Ellie saw the smile in Jack's eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this sentence?"

Jack explained the meaning of this sentence with a smirk, and Jacob's face flushed immediately after hearing it.

Ellie gave Jack a wink and said it again to Jack.

Jager is introverted and always likes Jack to be gentle, while Ellie is wild and likes Jack to treat her roughly in different ways.

"Your Majesty, why do we have to learn this Chinese language?" Jager asked a little strangely.

Jack thought for a while, sorted out the language and said, "Because we need a different language."

"Civilization needs its own language and culture. Chinese is a language invented by the ancient Atlantis Empire. It is noble and mysterious."

In the world of Quanyou, the language of different races is also different, and having one's own language is one of the powerful weapons to digest the colony.

There are many dialects spoken in Westeros.

But only two originate there: the ancient language spoken by the First Men before the Andal invasion;
And after that the Common Language, the only language of the Seven Kingdoms.

Even though there are many variants of the Common Language, the people of Dorne at the southernmost point can communicate with the people of the north without barriers.

Alternatively, the Rhoynar may have brought their own language, which then died out.

Foreign languages ​​are either learned in the learning city, or brought into Westeros by immigrants, merchants, mercenaries and the like.

On the other side of the strait, there are many languages ​​in Essos.

Most important is the High Valyrian language of the old Valyrian Freehold, the remains of which are now only a dilapidated part.

Dothraki: The language spoken by the Dothraki natives of the Dothraki Sea.

High Valyrian: The language spoken by the Valyrian dynasty before the Doomsday.

Low Valyrian: As the name suggests, the Valyrian dialect is the dialect of the nine free and slave cities.

Every city has its own dialect system, and each dialect seems to have its own vocabulary.

Tyrosh: Apart from the odd pronunciation, little is known about the Valyrian dialect spoken by Tyrosh.

Guiscari: The language of Guiscari has been forgotten, replaced by a dialect of High Valyrian.

Quarth.

The language of Asshai.

Asshai's language was like an incantation, fused with their spells. (similar to Valyrian)
Lazarin - said to be similar to singing.

Trade language - the language developed by seafarers, a fusion of more than a dozen existing languages ​​​​from all over the world (many swear words), and also includes gesture expressions.

This shows the diversity of languages ​​in the world.

Especially the Valyrian language, even divided into High Valyrian and Low Valyrian.

Until now, half of the world's population speaks the Low Valyrian language.

So Jack is going to spend one or two generations teaching the Valyrians Chinese.

As for why Chinese is used, the reason is very simple, Jack does not have the ability to create a new language.

However, there is no Chinese in the world of ice and fire, so it is enough to use it directly, which is convenient and trouble-free.

At that time, the school of Atlantis will set Valyrian and Westerosi as two professional courses.

Alas, after that, two more professions were born.

It also creates a good employment environment for future Atlantis college students.

Ellie showed a confused expression. As a bed slave, if Jack hadn't taught her to read and write, she wouldn't even know how to read.

Jack needn't expect her to understand the importance of cultural erosion.

But this does not prevent Ellie from making Jack happy. Ellie patted her bulging chest and promised, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely study hard and teach the residents on the island."

Jack smiled and helped her "pat" her chest, "The residents on the island don't need to learn, what you have to do is teach their children Chinese."

The citizens of the island have basically spoken Low Valyrian for about 20 years, and it is unrealistic to ask them to change a language.

So Jack can only start with their children, first teach Chinese as a foreign language, and then slowly replace the lower Valyrian language, and continue for one or two generations to complete.

This is not a troublesome thing, because the most difficult part-creating the language, the font, has already been done, which is the Chinese language in Jack's mind.

"Your Majesty, we will arrive at the Astapor pier soon." Ge came to Jack to report.

"Huh? It's here so soon?" Jack was a little surprised.

"It's getting late Your Majesty, our speed is fast, and the Unsullied have already landed at the pier in Astapor."

The Unsullied first boarded the dock in Astapor by boat, and they needed to take control of the dock before Jack disembarked.

Soon the gigantic Neptune docked at the pier in Astapor, and Jack stepped off the Neptune under the watchful eyes of five thousand Unsullied.

When the Valyrian Freedom Fortress destroyed the ancient Ghis Empire, Astapor was a surviving Ghis colony.

It was once conquered by the Valyrians and made into a center of the slave trade.

Ghiscari has been largely forgotten by the people here.

Before leading the host to Yunkai, Dany left three men behind for Astapor - a council of doctors, scholars, and priests.

The Council was later abolished by the Butcher King Cleon.

After gaining the power of the Council, Cleon executed the three, then took all the noble children and began to train the new Unsullied.

Every pyramid in Astapori has been turned into a military camp, the streets are full of lies of death, and the shops are full of slaves instead of food.

At this time, Astapor had already closed the city gate.

Since Meereen started the war, Astapor has closed the city gates, and only the fleet controlled by Cleon can go out every day.

Jack came to the pier and called out:

"Everyone, you have set foot on this land again. Perhaps this place was once your nightmare, but today, under the witness of the Sea Emperor and Sea God, you will smash the nightmare with your own hands."

As soon as Jack finished speaking, he suddenly hit the ground heavily with the trident in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, there was a dull roar from both the sea and the sky, and a red dragon with a wingspan of more than three meters descended from the sky, and then crawled at Jack's feet.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of blue light shattered the wooden bridge of the pier. Godzilla came ashore from the deep sea and stood beside Jack under the eyes of everyone in awe.

"Soldiers, do you need a rest?"

The Unsullied didn't answer, just tapped the ground with his spear under Kaido's lead.
