From a hired knight to a master of Game of Thrones

Chapter 51 The Bone of Nightmare

Rodney glanced at Don Quixote, who seemed a little lost in thought, and smiled:

"Sir Don Quixote, if you have any other reasonable requests, please feel free to make them!"

Rodney hired four members of the Bloodhands mercenary group to guard his caravan on its journey to Desolate Hill and its return to White Harbor.

Willing to pay 8 gold dragons as a reward.

Such a price is considered extremely good among all the mercenary quests in White Harbor City.

However, considering the more than twenty gold dragons that Don Quixote spent to hold that impromptu tournament, Rodney was worried that Don Quixote wanted more.

Don Quixote, regaining his composure and suppressing his inner joy, smiled in return:

"Sir Rodney, the compensation you pay us is very reasonable. To ask for more would make me seem ungrateful."

Although the reward from the 8 Golden Dragons was far less than the bills he had already paid for holding a makeshift martial arts tournament.

But that's not how you calculate it!

Even disregarding the system's generous rewards, that makeshift and rudimentary martial arts tournament still brought him some hidden wealth.

For example, after the martial arts tournament, five merchants took the initiative to talk to him.

His words implied that he would be willing to hire the Bloodhand Mercenary Group if given the opportunity.

In addition, many Free Knights want to join the Bloodhand Mercenary Group.

These are the hidden effects.

In the long run, this is enough to bring great development to the Blood Hand Mercenary Group.

While pondering, Don Quixote continued:

"However, I have three other companions who need to accompany me."

"I will take care of the meals and lodging for my companions, as long as you don't mind three more people in the caravan!"

Upon hearing this, Rodney smiled and quickly replied:

"Not at all, not at all. As for your three companions' meals and lodging, Sir, I will also provide them. It won't cost much silver deer."

The two parties then reached a verbal agreement.

Don Quixote took the deposit of four golden dragons and left Rodney's mansion.

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.

Don Quixote had only taken a few steps out of Rodney's mansion when he suddenly heard Ian's voice behind him:

"Sir Don Quixote, wait for me."

Upon hearing this, Don Quixote slowly stopped.

Ian hurriedly ran to Don Quixote's side and respectfully smiled:

"Sir Don Quixote, please forgive my rudeness for any previous neglect."

As he spoke, Ian took two silver deer coins from his pocket and handed them to Don Quixote, while continuing to smile respectfully:

"Sir Don Quixote, I think I must have been out of my mind with alcohol to think I would charge a referral fee for such a powerful knight as you."

Don Quixote glanced at the two silver deer, then looked at Ian.

I noticed the subtle restraint and unease in Ian's expression.

He did not accept the two silver deer coins, but smiled slightly:

"Sir Ian, you have given our Bloodhand Mercenary Group such a great opportunity. I think two silver deer are not enough to repay your gratitude."

"If you have the chance, I'd like to buy you a dark beer as a token of my gratitude."

Ian paused for a moment, then quickly laughed:

"That would be my honor, Sir Don Quixote!"

After saying goodbye to Ian, Don Quixote rode quickly back to his lodgings.

Cole, who was grooming the horses in the yard, saw Don Quixote and quickly stopped what he was doing, walking briskly to the door.

As Cole opened the door, he smiled respectfully:

"Lord Don Quixote, you're back!"

Hearing the commotion, Alden and Adele hurried over.

"Sir Don Quixote!"

Don Quixote gave a brief greeting to the three men, and then said:

"Cole, go and call Tom and the other two over. Alden, go to the nearby Caran Tavern and buy enough of their signature dishes, then have the tavern staff deliver them to us."

"Let's have a proper celebration in this yard later!"

"Yes, Lord Don Quixote!" Cole and Alden replied hastily.

Watching Cole and his companion disappear into the distance, Don Quixote turned to Adele and smiled:

"Then let's tidy up this yard properly, so that Tom and the other two won't complain about this messy place later."

Adele smiled and said:

"They wouldn't dare complain, sir. You should go and rest. I'll take care of things here."

Don Quixote shook his head and laughed:

"Anyway, I don't have anything to do for the time being, so let's clean together."

Adele, feeling helpless, could only cheerfully join Don Quixote in cleaning up some of the clutter in the yard, especially the many red, brown, and chestnut hairs that Cole and Alden had shed while grooming the horses.

While cleaning, Don Quixote also glanced at the system's description of the Nightmare Bone.

Nightmare Bones:

A magical item was born from the unexpected fusion of a vast amount of pure, pure, and negative resentment with the racial talent of a certain dream-type great demon who was trapped in an extreme environment of despair and slowly died.

There are two amazing effects:

1. You can use the Nightmare Bone to weave other people's dreams!

In those woven dreams, the dreamer is unaware that they are dreaming.

All actions are driven by the original thoughts of the dreamer, who no longer conceals them in the slightest.

In those woven dreams, the dreamer will act according to their truest thoughts.

2. Nightmare Bones can be used to plant the heart of a nightmare in others!

Weave a hundred relentless, desperate dreams while others sleep, dreams that leave only a sliver of hope.

This is to completely destroy the original mind of the dream's owner.

However, it also induces the dreamer to develop an extremely pure yet distorted spiritual belief in the set goal.

Even if the target is an earthworm, the person with the nightmare in their heart will see the target as a giant dragon that can soar through the blue sky.

A distorted belief system breeds nightmare followers with extreme loyalty!

Don Quixote carefully read the system's description of the Nightmare Bone several times, and subconsciously muttered:

"The magical effects of this Nightmare Bone are truly terrifying, and also truly powerful!"

"However, with it, even in the Game of Thrones world where betrayal is commonplace, one can let down one's guard, cultivate a group of loyal subordinates, and confidently teach subordinates the basic breathing techniques of knights!"

"As for the enemy, they should naturally be given a better fate as well!"

"It seems this hiring mission absolutely cannot fail!"

Adele, who was not far away, looked over:

"Sir, I think I heard you speak."

Don Quixote laughed:

"I'm feeling emotional. We've finally gained a foothold in White Harbor City. It wasn't easy."

...It doesn't seem that difficult.

Adele thought to herself, then winked and smiled:

"It's all thanks to you, sir. If it weren't for your great strength, those people wouldn't have believed us so easily."

Don Quixote nodded and smiled:

"Therefore, we need to keep getting stronger until everyone who meets us is unwilling to reject our sincerity!"

P.S.: I will control the cheat settings and not turn them too high.
