From a hired knight to a master of Game of Thrones

Employer: Earl of Meggie

【Task: Maintain order at the trade market outside Seven City daily (This task is settled monthly, with random rewards)】

【award:

91 Golden Dragons (Available to claim)

One bag of Frost Spirit Rice (cannot be claimed)

"A month is finally over! If the mission reward doesn't come soon, I really can't hold on any longer!"

Don Quixote closed the wooden door, rubbed his hands together, and couldn't help but look at the mission panel.

With two more people to take care of, plus the need to win people's hearts and engage in social interactions.

His expenses have skyrocketed this month.

But that's not the key point.

Some of the consumption involves food and drinks, and these are foods that ordinary people can afford.

It doesn't actually cost much.

Despite his extravagant spending, he only spent about 1 gold dragon a month.

Even so, he can still easily maintain his current decent life.

After all, Earl of Meggi paid him 1 gold dragon a month.

A month ago, he had 3 gold dragons, 427 silver deer, and 78 bronze points.

Aside from the 1 gold dragon warming fee given to Mrs. Ella.

He also has 2 gold dragons, 427 silver deer, and 78 bronze points.

That's enough to maintain his current decent lifestyle.

However, he secretly incurred a huge expense.

He, Don Quixote, was a commoner, a commoner who was making a living under the Seven family.

If you openly build up your personal power, aren't you just asking for trouble?

So he took a roundabout approach.

He secretly sought out hunters with reliable character and considerable skill.

Then they would buy their hunting spoils at a high price.

They buy their prey at prices one to two ten percent higher than the average market price.

Basically, they don't discriminate in establishing long-term and stable transactions with hunters who are reliable and capable.

He plans to gradually become the provider of food and clothing for these poor people!

Let these people gradually realize this.

You can live a better life by trading with him, Don Quixote!

And leave him, Don Quixote.

Their lives will return to the precarious existence they once had!

He has already established stable deals with seventeen hunters.

This is a considerable expense.

As for the prey that was purchased.

Lower-quality prey is sold at the trade market at the average market price or a lower price.

To prevent a major gap from appearing in the meat trading market in Seven's territory, thus attracting the attention of the Seven family.

Good-tasting, high-quality prey is digested internally.

Don Quixote, Cole, and Adele train every day.

Without a large supply of meat, it won't work.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

"receive!"

Don Quixote murmured to himself.

In an instant.

Ninety-one gold dragon coins appeared out of thin air in front of him, shining brightly.

"Oh, golden dragons! Shiny golden dragons! So many golden dragons!"

Don Quixote grinned foolishly as he picked up all 91 gold dragons and put them into his animal skin purse.

After a while.

Don Quixote then came to his senses and remembered the reward for next month's mission.

【Cold Spirit Rice:】

A magical rice created by a great ice mage after spending most of his life researching in the frigid lands.

Consuming large quantities of it will grant permanent cold resistance and immunity to a certain degree of ice magic attacks!

In addition, it can improve physical fitness!

"That's incredible!"

Don Quixote was instantly overjoyed:

"This is really great! It will make me stronger quickly again!"

Thinking of this, he looked at his data panel again.

Name: Don Quixote

[Identity: Knight]

【Spirit: 1.99】

[Qi and Blood: 2.27]

The rate at which Qi and blood are replenished is getting slower and slower.

After a month of training, it only increased by 0.1.

And the mental value has remained unchanged at 1.99 for more than ten days.

However, his combat skills have improved considerably.

"I hope this Cold Spirit Rice really has the magical effects that are said to be true."

"Perhaps my spirit value will break through 2, and my health and vitality will increase significantly again, all thanks to this Frosty Spirit Rice!"

Don Quixote excitedly anticipated and dreamed.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

A large iron fork is holding a whole snow hare.

Another large iron fork is holding a whole grouse.

Two large iron forks were rotating above the fire pit.

The thicker areas of grease were charred and bubbly by the fire, and hot oil dripped into the flames.

It exploded, sending up tiny sparks and making a hissing sound.

The pork skin was roasted until it was firm and glistening with oil.

The aroma of roasted meat gradually wafted out.

This made Adele, who was standing nearby, drool with delight, and her expression also brightened.

Adele licked her delicate tongue and couldn't help but say:

"My lord, when can we eat?"

"I want to eat!"

After a month of spending time together, Adele became closer to and more dependent on Don Quixote.

They were also influenced by Don Quixote's ideas.

I've become more open-minded.

The submissive mentality of the weak, who are enslaved and subservient, still exists, but it has lessened somewhat.

Don Quixote would occasionally slice open the flesh with his clean dagger and stuff in a handful of crushed wild onions.

He glanced at Adele, then suddenly chuckled:

"Can't resist anymore? Wait a little longer."

"A burst of energy after patience will feel more satisfying and comfortable."

Adele rolled her eyes at his words.

Don Quixote, you're being silly again!

Soon.

Don Quixote got up, picked up two large iron forks, and placed them on a clean, flat-bottomed iron plate beside him.

I chopped it up.

After cutting the crispy snow rabbit and golden grouse into strips and pieces.

Don Quixote and Adele then leisurely enjoyed themselves, taking bites of meat and sips of wine.

Just as the two had eaten more than half of the barbecue.

A figure on horseback approached rapidly.

Nathan dismounted, smelled the rich aroma in the air, and swallowed hard.

He waited silently until Don Quixote finished the piece of roast meat in his hand before respectfully saying:

"Lord Don Quixote, Captain Liam just brought over last month's payment. He didn't see you before handing it over to us."

Don Quixote nodded.

It's time for Don Quixote's squad to patrol.

However, he didn't want to go today, so he abandoned his post.

At this time, Cole would usually be with Nathan and the others.

While doing some chores for Nathan and the others, he observed the situation in the trading market and reported back to him.

After handing the gold dragon to Don Quixote, Nathan continued:

"My lord, Miss Elise of the Iron Axe Tavern is looking for you at the trading market; she seems to have something to discuss!"

Don Quixote was somewhat surprised upon hearing this:

"I understand, I'll be there in a bit."

He paused, then took out six silver deer and handed them to Nathan, smiling:

"You've all worked hard today. After your patrol, go grab a drink and relax. Take Cole with you."

"Oh, and could you keep an eye on him for me? Make sure he doesn't drink alcohol; he has training tomorrow!"

Nathan excitedly accepted the six silver deer and respectfully said:

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work. Ever since those arrogant outsiders were severely punished by the adults in public, the vagrants, outsiders, and locals in the market have all become much more well-behaved and follow the rules!"

"We didn't dare cause any trouble at all. We've been bored all day and haven't seen a single conflict!"

Don Quixote smiled.

After a month of development, the trade market was bustling with people every day, but there was no fixed standard for the trading rules.

How could there be no conflict?

The conflicts can be big or small, and some minor conflicts and contradictions can be resolved by Nathan and his team.

And in the event of a major conflict, since his residence was not far from the trading market, he would arrive very soon.

He knew Nathan's character.

They are quiet and hardworking, and don't like to talk about their small hardships.

Don Quixote suddenly said:

"Nathan, I heard your son is already ten years old."

Nathan didn't understand Don Quixote's meaning, but he nodded nonetheless and hurriedly said:

"Yes, sir, my son is over ten years old."

Don Quixote laughed:

"I am still missing a knight squire."

"If you think I'm reliable, could you introduce me to your son?"
