From a hired knight to a master of Game of Thrones

The tavern was quiet for a moment, then the guests started shouting happily.

The hunter who had just shouted "Drag him out!" was the first to slam his hand on the table. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and laughed gruffly:

"Good! That's more like the Iron Axe Tavern!"

"Hey, young knight, may you soon become a true knight, renowned throughout the North and celebrated throughout King's Landing!"

"To you!"

"Homage to the young knight!"

A series of shouts and laughter, mixed with the smell of alcohol, rose and fell.

Don Quixote also laughed confidently:

"Knight Boy doesn't sound good. Remember this, I am Don Quixote!"

Don Quixote the Knight!

"And we should also pay tribute to Lady Vera!"

A man who had been silently drinking in the corner finally stood up, raised his glass, and shouted at Don Quixote:

"Understood, Don Quixote the Knight, to Madame Vera! And to you too!"

Upon hearing this, many guests laughed heartily, their laughter tinged with good-nature.

"Hahaha! Don Quixote, the Knight Boy! That name sounds awesome!"

"Respect to Mrs. Vera!"

"Homage to Don Quixote, the chivalrous young knight!"

Don Quixote shook his head and smiled helplessly.

He knew perfectly well that these people were only being polite and calling him a knight because of a free glass of ale.

Normally, they would just wave and pat you on the shoulder.

"Hey, you squire, fill my beer bottle right now!"

The drunkard had calmed down a bit. He stood up, glared angrily at Don Quixote, and spat out a harsh word through gritted teeth:

"You just wait, kid!"

Don Quixote pretends to swing the iron rod in his hand.

The drunken man was startled and dared not say any more harsh words. He hurriedly turned around and left the Iron Axe Tavern in a disheveled state.

The other patrons in the tavern had long since returned to normal; some were drinking, some were eating, and some were bragging.

It was as if nothing had just happened.

They weren't some demure aristocratic ladies who needed to maintain a respectable image at all times.

It's not like those aristocratic young men who are particular about details and have an air of sophistication.

Most of the people who come here are rough men from the lower classes.

For them, isn't vomiting after getting drunk a perfectly normal thing?

Many people step into the Iron Axe Tavern hoping for a good, unbridled drink.

It was just some vomit, which didn't stop them from continuing to eat and drink.

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.

Don Quixote walked back to the vicinity of the bar.

Ronan angrily said:

"Don Quixote, York is a regular customer at our Iron Axe Tavern, you went too far!"

"Didn't you tell me yourself? If a guest doesn't follow the rules, just knock them out and throw them out."

Don Quixote chuckled:

"I've already gone easy on him! Otherwise, how could I have let this reckless bastard leave so easily!"

He took direct action instead of trying to dissuade him first.

Besides his initial intention to make an example of someone to establish his authority and prevent such troublesome incidents from happening again later.

The tavern watchman's job is boring enough; dealing with drunkards causing trouble every day is just asking for trouble.

In addition, he dislikes people who are drunk and out of control.

As for what others are most concerned about, such as the Old Gods and beliefs.

Haha, Don Quixote only believes in the money in his pocket, the sword in his hand, and the club beneath him.

In this life, I do not seek freedom and pleasure, nor do I seek power or beautiful women in my arms.

What are we pursuing?

The most interesting thing about life, as history repeatedly emphasizes, is:

That is freedom, violence, and sex.

This is the true belief of Don Quixote!

...Damn it, knocking out the guest was just me exaggerating to scare you, new guy.

If drunken customers are knocked unconscious and thrown out of the tavern, who would dare to come to Iron Axe Tavern in the future?

Their customer base isn't exactly respectable people.

Isn't it normal to use some crude behavior and vulgar language?

Ronan caught a glimpse of Don Quixote's somewhat cold gaze and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

It seemed that the thin young man in front of him was not as unremarkable as he appeared.

They were not as easy to bully as Ronan thought.

Ronan swallowed hard, quickly turned his head to the side, but continued:

"Then why did you take it upon yourself to give these people a free glass of ale! Do you even know a glass of ale costs 3 cents?!"

Don Quixote said nonchalantly:

"It didn't cost our tavern a single copper coin; that bastard already paid for our drinks!"

Ronan couldn't hold back any longer and turned to glare at Don Quixote:

"The rules of the tavern are also Lady Vera's rules!"

"If a guest is drunk and vomits, take some extra copper coins from the drunk guest to pay for the one cent of ale that is given away for free to other guests!"

"It's a dime of ale! Not a glass! You bastard, didn't I warn you before?!"

A dime of beer costs only half a copper coin.

A glass of ale costs 3 copper coins.

Bang!

Don Quixote slammed his iron rod heavily on the wooden counter, his face grim as he stared at Ronan and said:

"That bastard insulted the Old Gods in public! I'll make him pay!"

"Shouldn't these faithful believers, who hear of the humiliation of the old gods, receive even greater comfort?!"

Just then, a guest nearby overheard Don Quixote and Ronan's conversation and suddenly stood up and shouted:

"That's right! That bastard blasphemed the Old Gods, he should be stripped naked and thrown outside to freeze to death!"

"Just charging that bastard a little more copper coins is too lenient on him!"

"I love hearing that, young knight! Don't we honest and loyal believers deserve some comfort when we've been wronged?!"

After saying that, the guest shouted to the other guests who were also confused:

"Don't you agree?!"

After a moment of silence, many guests suddenly began to shout:

"Yes! Yes! Yes! We need even a little comfort!"

"Damn Ronan, you wouldn't begrudge a cup of beer?!"

"You bastard Ronan, if you dare go back on your word and don't give me a shot of ale, I'll crush your balls right now!"

"By the Old Gods, young knight, you did the right thing. The North will not tolerate the insult of the Old Gods!"

Upon hearing this, Ronan's expression shifted several times. After a long while, he managed to suppress his anger and put on a smiling face towards most of the guests:

"No, no, our tavern will serve you complimentary ale right away!"

Seeing that the guest's emotions had gradually calmed down, he turned to look at Don Quixote and said through gritted teeth:

"I will explain this matter frankly to Mrs. Vera tomorrow!"

Mrs. Vera would usually come to the Iron Axe Tavern every two or three days to collect the bill and check on the tavern's operations.

Don Quixote waved his hand and turned to his side, saying:

"Go ahead, but I believe Mrs. Vera will understand my intentions."

Those who insult the old gods must receive their due punishment!

"You...you damned bastard!"

Ronan glared at Don Quixote's retreating figure and muttered a curse in a low voice.

Time flies.

After a simple dinner at the tavern at dusk, Don Quixote hurriedly left Seven and returned to his tenant village.

Employer: Mrs. Vera

【Task: Maintain order at the Iron Axe Tavern daily (This task is completed daily, and the reward is random)】

[Reward: 5 Silver Deer (Claimable)]

Upon arriving home, Don Quixote immediately bolted the door shut and glanced at the random reward he had received for completing his job today.

"receive!"
