From a hired knight to a master of Game of Thrones

Chapter 101 Two Kinds of People

Zane, a hunter apprentice from Great Wind Ridge, pushed open the wooden door of a simple stone house.

This place was used to house the helpers, guards, and hired knights who came to Great Wind Territory with the caravans.

Dafengling has built quite a few of these temporary houses recently.

Zane glanced coldly at Remy Carter and his two companions, and said without any politeness, "Sir is too kind, allowing me to arrange such good lodging for you poachers."

"You people should just be left out there to freeze to death in the cold wind and snow."

Seeing that there were no distinguished knights from the Great Wind Territory around, Remy calmed down considerably: "We are not poachers! We just accidentally wandered into your territory while chasing prey from my father's lands."

"My father will explain to your lord that it's all a misunderstanding."

Zane ignored these questions, recalling the lord's instructions, and asked directly, "Do any of you have Silver Deer or Copper Coins?"

Upon hearing this, Remy and the other two subconsciously touched their pockets, but only Remy replied, "I have 12 copper coins."

Mavkel and Hunter Jess shook their heads, saying, "We don't have a single copper coin on us."

—Three poor bastards!

He is one of the few hunter apprentices in Great Wind Territory who passed the territory assessment.

In addition to receiving 1 silver deer every month for free, Zain also receives a considerable reward for patrolling the lord's woodlands, grasslands, and waterways.

In addition, they sometimes lead and protect locals and outsiders who want to experience hunting games as they roam around the Great Wind Territory, for which they receive a considerable reward.

Zain already has over a dozen silver deer and over forty bronze coins.

This was accumulated even though he ate and drank excessively every day.

If you don't spend recklessly, you should have over thirty silver deer.

He recently heard that the lord does not mind his subjects building their own new houses.

Zain, who considers himself wealthy, is considering building a sturdy new house that can provide shelter from the wind and rain.

As he thought about these things, Zane raised his nose and glanced at Remy and the other two with a somewhat contemptuous look, and continued, "You are not guests of the adults, so you will need to pay a certain amount of silver deer copper points for your food and lodging in our territory."

"The place you're going to stay in now costs 10 copper coins per day."

Upon hearing this, Remy and the other two's expressions changed.

Remy turned to look at the room behind him.

In the spacious room, four simple wooden beds were neatly arranged, each covered with thick straw and quilts.

In addition, there is a simple fireplace, a wooden table, two wooden stools, and a small bundle of firewood.

Although these things looked very clean and brand new, and the rooms were better than those of most of the people in his father's territory.

There is no draft or leak.

But isn't 10 copper points a day too expensive, especially since he doesn't have enough copper points yet?

Remy's expression changed, and he forced a smile, saying, "Can you make it cheaper? We don't have enough copper coins on us."

Zain shook his head and said, "It can't be cheaper. This is a fixed price, and even we, the commoners, pay the same price to move in."

As he spoke, Zain glanced at the room, feeling a pang of envy and a stronger desire for a house like it, or even better.

This is because Dafengling urgently needs manpower, stone, and timber to build its territory.

Previously, it was difficult to find the manpower and materials to build new houses for the people.

Therefore, even though most of the people had a lot of silver deer in their pockets, they still lived in their original dilapidated houses.

Of course, the residents could also spend some copper coins to stay in the lodgings prepared for outsiders, or in clean and comfortable hotel rooms.

However, very few people would do this.

The residents have been living in their dilapidated houses for many years, so it won't make a difference if they stay in them for a while longer.

Most importantly, the people also know that these places are where the lord specially accommodates guests from outside.

My life has undergone tremendous changes, and for the better.

The people were too grateful to the lord to care about anything else; very few wanted their affairs to cause him any trouble.

While he was thinking, Zain heard someone say, "Could I stay here for now and wait for my father to come so that he can pay off the silver deer copper coins he owes?"

Soon someone else chimed in, "We don't have any copper coins. Can you help us find some open space? We can stay under a tree, in the stable, anything is fine."

Zane looked at Remy, who had spoken first, and then glanced at Mavkel and Hunter Jess, who had spoken later, before slowly saying, "That won't do. The lord said that although the three of you are not guests of our territory, you are not enemies for the time being."

"The lord does not want any of you to be sick or frostbitten the next time he sees you."

"Besides, you live in other places, so I can't keep an eye on you."

"You can only stay here, all three of you will stay here."

"It's fine to pay you back first."

At this point, Zane looked at Mavkel and Hunter Jess again: "Don't worry, the lord has already taken into account that you may not have much copper points."

"So, as long as you work diligently for our territory, the lord will pay you some compensation."

"Those rewards are enough to cover your food and lodging during your time in our territory."

"You two go into the room now, choose a wooden bed, put down any things that are in your way, and then come with me."

"I will tell you what to do."

Upon hearing this, Mavkel and Jess the Hunter turned to look at Remy Carter.

Remy Carter frowned and immediately said, "What are you two looking at me for!"

"Go on, get to work! My father and my family don't have any extra copper coins to pay off your debts."

----asshole.

If you hadn't ignored my advice and trespassed on someone else's territory, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Mavkel and the hunter Jess exchanged a glance, seeing the bewilderment in each other's eyes and a hint of resentment that they dared not show.

Not long after.

Mavkel and Jess the Hunter returned to the front of the house.

Zane glanced at Remy Carter, frowned, and said, "Aren't you coming with me?"

—I'm not going.

If you go there, you lowly commoners will point fingers and gossip at you.

I, Remy, am the heir to a territory. How can I do lowly work like those lowly commoners, such as Mavkel and Jess the Hunter?

Remy shook his head and laughed, "My father will pay all my bills, so I probably don't need to go."

Zane gave Remy a cold look and quickly said, "Landon, you stay here and watch over him. Don't let him wander off. Every now and then, find him something to eat. Keep good records; the adults need to see them."

Landon, another Windward Hunter apprentice beside Zane, nodded and replied, "Zane, I will keep a close watch on him."

"Then I'll take these two to the quarry first; they're short-handed there," Zane said, before quickly leaving with Mavkel and Hunter Jess.
