From a hired knight to a master of Game of Thrones

Chapter 103 Daily Life

Mavkel and Hunter Jess walked along the sturdy, clean, and flat stone path from the outskirts of Grayhill Village to the food street in the center of the village, feeling a surge of envy.

This territory is far better than theirs.

Whether it's the environment or something else.

Upon arriving at the food street, the stonemason apprentice hurriedly tossed out a sentence and left: "Wait for me after you finish eating. I'll take you back. Don't even think about running away; I'll be watching you!"

Mavkel and the hunter Jess watched as the stonemason apprentice walked to a stone table where several people were sitting.

In the blink of an eye, the stonemason apprentice was laughing and joking with those people, and even pointed at the two of them.

This quickly drew laughter from many people who turned towards the two of them.

Mavkel instinctively lowered his head, the enticing aroma of food wafting to his nostrils drowning out the sarcastic and unfriendly words around him.

He lowered his voice and said, "Jace, let's eat something quickly and then leave."

Hunter Jess also lowered his head and gritted his teeth as he replied, "Yes."

As the two endured increasing pointing fingers and whispers, they found a less crowded stall and asked, "Boss lady, what do you have to eat here?"

The middle-aged female chef wearing a gray apron also heard some of the undisguised remarks from the people around her. She understood the identities of the two people in front of her, and the smile she was about to show instantly disappeared.

Just then, someone approached from behind Mavkel and Hunter Jess, seemingly oblivious to their presence, bumping them aside. After a sneer, the person looked at the middle-aged female chef and said, "Mrs. Della, give me a barley venison soup, a roast suckling pig stuffed with mushrooms, three barley breads, and a pitcher of dark beer."

"That'll be 60 copper coins in total." After stating the price, the middle-aged female chef, Madame Dela, smiled and said, "Cyril, good evening. Are you done with your work?"

Carpenter's apprentice Cyril shook his head and said helplessly, "Not yet. I just came here because I'm hungry. I need to eat first, and then I have to continue working."

"The lord instructed us to produce as many wooden items as possible to trade with those merchants."

"I still need to make a few more wooden stools tonight, and I think I'll be busy for another four hours."

Lady Della nodded and continued to smile as she prepared the food, "Since it's the lord's arrangement, you'd better work hard and not disappoint the lord."

Cyril, the carpenter's apprentice, also laughed and said, "Of course."

Before long, a large bowl of steaming, fragrant barley and venison soup was ready.

Cyril, a carpenter's apprentice, picked up a heavy bowl of barley and venison soup with one hand and a barley bread with the other, and began to eat heartily.

He turned and glanced at Mavkel and Hunter Jess, who were still standing there, and said coldly, "Get out of the way, don't block the way."

After carpenter apprentice Cyril left with a errand boy carrying a stout and two other loaves of barley bread, another man deliberately pushed aside Mavekel and Hunter Jess and said to the cook, "Mrs. Della, give me a roasted pigeon, a stew, three loaves of barley bread, and a pitcher of stout."

While busy, Mrs. Della smiled and said, "That's 34 copper coins in total. Aston, wait a moment, I have another roast suckling pig for another customer."

Smelling the aroma of food, Mavkel suppressed his growing hunger and said, "Jess, shall we try another stall?"

Hunter Jess sighed, "I think the other stalls will treat us the same way, and this stall has the fewest customers. Sigh, let's wait a bit longer. Surely this woman won't turn down business."

Not long after.

Seeing the man named Aston take away his food, the hunter Jess immediately said, "We still have a lot of work to do for your lord tomorrow. If possible, could you prepare some food for us? We'll pay you!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Della frowned, and after a long pause, reluctantly said, "What do you want to eat?"

Hunter Jess breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile, saying, "Three pieces of dark bread, a jug of ale, and two pork sausages."

Mavkel quickly added, "I'm the same as him."

Mrs. Della said expressionlessly, "A total of 24 copper points."

After waiting a while, Mavkel and Hunter Jess took their food, paid for it, and found a corner to stand and wolf it down.

After quickly finishing their food and drink, the two felt much better. They then squatted down and waited for the stonemason apprentice to take them back, while whispering to each other, "The food here is a bit better than the food in our territory."

"Yes, especially the meat; just the aroma alone makes it taste delicious."

"These people are all so rich, they're all like that."

"Jace, did you hear what they said? They work for their lord and are paid, and very well paid."

"I heard that too, I'm so envious."

"I'm hungry again, Jess. How about we buy some more meat?"

"Kyle, I want to save those copper coins to buy some warm clothes for my family. If you want some food, go buy some."

"Oh well, I can manage for now. I also need to buy some warm clothes for my family."

There was a moment of silence.

Mavkel suddenly said, "Jess, I'm really envious of the people in this territory! How wonderful it would be if I were born in such a territory, or if my lord were like the owner of this territory!"

Hunter Jess echoed, "I really wish that were the case too, sigh!"

The two, who had been enduring hunger again, waited for a while before hearing a familiar voice from above: "You've been quite well-behaved, let's go."

The next day.

A strong wind blows through the training grounds.

Phoenix arranged for two knights to go to Sir Nigel's territory, and also trained his men for a while and taught several Great Windlord citizens who wanted to learn swordsmanship.

After everything was over, he quickly left the training ground and headed to the lord's house.

Led by Adele, Phoenix walked to Don Quixote's study and then knocked on the door lightly.

Boom boom boom!

"Come in."

Upon hearing the lord's voice, Phoenix quietly thanked Adele beside him, then pushed open the unlocked door and left.

Looking inside, the lord's study was already full of people.

Sir Zachary, Sir Kyle, Sir Ulrich, Sir Desmond, Sir Warren.

Plus Phoenix.

All six of the lord's sworn knights are here.

These thoughts flashed through Phoenix's mind, and his expression became somewhat tense, as he believed that the lord had something very important to announce or discuss.

Don Quixote glanced at Phoenix, who had arrived last, and slowly said, "I called you here suddenly because there is something very important I have to tell you."

"Of course, it's a good thing."

"You are all my knights of oath, and I trust you completely!"

"Therefore, I want to tell you a secret, a secret that belongs to me."

After a pause, Don Quixote glanced at the increasingly serious and puzzled expressions on the faces of his six sworn knights, and continued, "I'm sure you are well aware of my strength."

Upon hearing this, the six sworn knights nodded in unison, saying, "My lord, you are absolutely the strongest knight we have ever seen!"

Don Quixote laughed and said, "Actually, I have such strength not only because of hard work and diligence, but also for other reasons."

"I once obtained a very ancient secret technique, a knight's secret technique!"

"After practicing that knight's secret technique, my strength became much greater, and it has been getting stronger ever since!"

"Today I will teach you that knightly secret technique, because you are all my sworn knights, and I have great faith in your oaths and your loyalty!"

"I want you to become stronger! So that you can better defend my territory and destroy my enemies!"

T

Upon hearing this, Don Quixote's six sworn knights were both surprised and moved, and hurriedly replied, "My lord, we are absolutely loyal to you!"
