From a hired knight to a master of Game of Thrones

...Finally found a job that's a bit challenging!

Don Quixote exclaimed excitedly:

"If what he said is true, the referral fee of 2 silver deer is no problem."

After a pause, Don Quixote continued:

"Tom, have that man find a time and place for us to meet."

Tom breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Don Quixote's interested expression.

Three months later, they finally found a valuable job offer that also interested Captain Don Quixote.

This made the three of them seem less useless.

While pondering, Tom quickly laughed and said:

"Captain, I'll head back to the tavern now. That Free Knight should still be hanging around there at this hour."

Don Quixote nodded, then took a silver deer from the purse beside his desk and handed it to Tom, smiling:

"Tom, you've worked hard, go and have a good meal!"

Tom didn't stand on ceremony, grinned, and hurriedly took the Silver Deer, saying:

"Hehe, thanks, Captain!"

Adele, standing beside Don Quixote, watched Tom's figure disappear into the distance, and the door closed again.

She turned to look at Don Quixote, who was clearly in a good mood.

Adele took a small step behind Don Quixote and gently massaged his shoulders, while smiling:

Congratulations, sir!

Don Quixote closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment, then suddenly turned and pulled Adele into his arms.

After a moment of unbridled revelry, he whispered:

"So how are you going to congratulate me?"

Adele, sensing Don Quixote's excitement, blushed and gasped:

"Sir, please spare me! The door isn't closed properly!"

"It's alright, no one will come in."

"Waaah."

……

……

……

Adele fell into a deep sleep.

Don Quixote, still full of energy, thought for a moment, got up, and put on a thin fur coat.

Then he sat down at his desk, picked up a stack of parchment paper, and started looking through it.

This stack of kraft paper is filled with information.

It contains the original story and plot information from his past life that he occasionally recalls in his mind.

There is also some valuable information that I have collected during this period.

Of course, he recorded this information in Chinese, which was already somewhat rusty.

They weren't afraid that others would find out what happened after seeing it.

Only a moment has passed.

Don Quixote's finger stopped on a piece of parchment:

"Huangzhongtun, also known as Huangzhongzhen."

Located at the confluence of two rivers flowing south to Yanmao Beach, on the eastern edge of the ancient people's abandoned tombs.

"It is bordered by streams to the west, Baigang to the east, Langlin to the north, and Jingze to the south."

"The area is dotted with hundreds of ancient tombs of our ancestors. Legend has it that the largest ancient tomb there, the 'Great Wilderness Tomb,' is the mausoleum of the 'Ancestor King of Our People' or the 'King of Giants.'"

"There are even more cursed folk tales: these ancient tombs of our ancestors will draw life force from usurpers!"

"In ancient times, the King of the Desolate Tomb fought a long war with the King of Winter."

"In the end, the last king of the graveyard submitted to the Stark family."

"The Dustin family, their descendants, were reduced to vassals of the Stark family."

"The Dustin family worships the Old Gods, and their banner is a rusty iron crown."

"The current head of the family is Barbara Dustin, whose original name was Barbara Leswell. She is the daughter of the Leswell family of Streamland and the widow of William Dustin."

"She was once given to Brandon Stark by her father."

"But because of Rickard Stark's ambition, Brandon Stark became engaged to Catelyn Tully."

"Her father had no choice but to offer her to Eddard Stark."

"The matter was dropped because of Caitlin Tully, and she eventually married William Dustin."

"During the War of the Usurper, William Dustin went to war with Eddard Stark against the wishes of his newlywed wife and died in the Battle of the Tower of Joy."

"Ned Stark brought back only William Dustin's warhorse, but his body remained forever in the Red Mountains on the frontier of Dorne."

"Therefore, Barbara Dustin harbored a deep resentment towards Eddard Stark."

"Therefore, during the War of the Five Kings, only a small number of troops were sent to accompany Robb Stark south."

After reading the information several times, Don Quixote closed the stack of parchments and made a mental estimate:

"It takes about 5 to 6 days to travel from Baigang to Huangzhongtun on horseback."

The next day.

A low-end pub in White Harbor.

A free knight in tattered chainmail sat casually at a wooden table, looked at Don Quixote, and laughed:

"I am Ian, and you are the leader of the Bloodhand Mercenary Group that Tom mentioned."

Don Quixote laughed:

"Sir Ian, I am Don Quixote."

Ian was quite pleased with the nickname Don Quixote, and his smile widened even more as he said in a very casual manner:

"Sir Don Quixote, although you look very young."

"But your physique tells me that you should be a skilled knight, and besides, Tom has always admired your abilities."

"Sir Don Quixote, so I believe in you!"

"Give me two silver deer now, and we can go find that fishmonger right away."

"Hehe, don't think I'm greedy. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been employed by that fishmonger!"

"I was hired by that fishmonger many times before he believed in my credibility."

"Ordinary freelance knights don't easily catch the eye of such wealthy merchants!"

Don Quixote didn't care how much of Ian's words were boastful or true, and said directly:

"No problem, I trust Tom's judgment too."

After saying this, Don Quixote took two silver deer from his purse and threw them to Ian.

Ian hurriedly took them and then bit the two silver deer with his teeth.

He quickly laughed and said:

"Thom is right, Sir Don Quixote, you are a trustworthy man!"

"Let's go, I'll take you to that fishmonger."

Don Quixote smiled and gestured for Tom and the other two to follow.

The group hadn't even taken a few steps.

Ian, who was walking at the front, suddenly pulled a woman dressed in a thin white silk dress who was pouring wine for a guest into his arms.

Ian laughed as he worked:

"Nova, you bitch, wait till I make some money and I'll fuck you up."

The woman, unfazed, said in a sweet voice:

"Ian, you bastard, you better keep your word and don't let my money end up in other people's pockets!"

"Hehehe, I'm going to make a lot of money this time." Ian laughed triumphantly.

"I guarantee it will satisfy your appetite."

The guest being poured wine by the woman was also a knight wearing tattered chainmail.

He looked at Ian and sneered:

"Ian, if you die out there, I'll bring all the women you like to your corpse and applaud for you."

"I'll make sure you suffer a terrible death."

Ian turned his head, spat a mouthful of saliva onto the ground, and coldly spat:

"The North has yet to be born anyone who wants me, Ian, dead."

"You coward, you only dare to stay in White Harbor, hahahahahaha."

"I wonder how long it's been since you last stepped out of White Harbor. You've probably even forgotten what your hometown looks like."

"Pah, what a coward!"
