From a hired knight to a master of Game of Thrones

The next morning.

The bells of Snow Sanctuary fell from above, carrying on the cold mist and sea breeze.

The Old Gods remained silent, but the Seven Gods spoke.

Don Quixote got out of bed feeling refreshed, quickly dressed, and left his bedroom for the study next door.

boom!

He slammed the wooden door shut behind him.

Nightmare Bone (Available to claim)

"receive!"

Don Quixote's mind stirred slightly.

In an instant, a considerable number of brand-new gold coins landed smoothly on the desk.

And a skull about the size of two fingers.

Don Quixote didn't look at the gold coins much, his gaze fixed curiously on the strange skull, which was no bigger than the palm of his hand.

The surface of that eerie skull was an extremely dark bluish-black.

It resembled the darkness of a deep abyss, yet carried a somber glow steeped in long-standing resentment and poison.

The surface lacks the texture of normal bone.

Instead, there are countless fine, spiraling, and strangely shaped patterns that seem to wriggle like living creatures.

He leaned closer and stared intently.

You can see a faint gray mist floating in the bones.

Countless faces seemed to be silently screaming, sinking, and pleading in the fog.

But it vanished in an instant, as if it were just an illusion.

"So this is the Nightmare Bone? It has a rather eerie beauty!"

Don Quixote reached out and grasped the skull, which seemed to be solidified from despair itself.

It was icy cold to the touch, not just ordinary cold.

He played with the skull in his hands while carefully reviewing the usage methods that suddenly appeared in his mind.

After a long while, Don Quixote realized:

"It's not as powerful as I imagined!"

The dream-weaving function is alright.

As long as the target is in a state of sleep or deep trance.

He can lock onto the target's dream when he is within five meters of the target, and then weave it.

However, the ability to plant a nightmare in one's heart has many limitations.

The target cannot fall into a continuous state of sleep while experiencing one hundred dreams of utter despair.

Every time you experience a dream of utter despair, you must wake up, otherwise the target is very likely to go insane.

Therefore, it takes at least one hundred days to plant a nightmare in the heart of a target.

This limitation also restricts Don Quixote from carefully selecting his targets.

Instead of acting recklessly as initially imagined!

Furthermore, if the user's will is not strong.

They will also be devoured by the resentment in their bones, becoming nothing more than an empty shell.

Although, due to the system's effects, using the Nightmare Bone greatly reduced Don Quixote's mental burden.

However, given his current mental strength, long-term use might still be a considerable burden.

"However, the effect of this Nightmare Heart is extremely powerful!"

Don Quixote was not too disappointed.

Since we can't create a group of assassins, let's choose a few powerful figures as targets.

The person whose nightmare was planted in his heart.

He will become a nightmare follower who is extremely loyal and fanatical to him.

A nightmare addict who will never dream again and whose mind has been completely reshaped.

Moreover, this effect is irreversible.

Such an ability would be extremely useful in other worlds if used properly.

And it's even more useful in a world like Game of Thrones where betrayal is commonplace!

Don Quixote sat at his desk, set aside the Nightmare Bone, picked up a piece of parchment, and began to scrutinize his targets.

He first slowly closed his eyes, mentally sifted through the list, and finally slowly wrote down line after line of names in Chinese:

Stannis Baratheon!

Baron Greyjoy!

Doran Martell!

Renly Baratheon!

"Khal Drogo!"

"Wald Frey!"

"Varys!"

"Rouss Bolton!"

"Wyman Mandler!"

Tywin Lannister!

"The rulers of the nine free cities!"

"The rulers of the three great city-states of Astapor, Yunkai, and Meereen!"

"The merchants' guilds of Qarth, the eastern capital of Essos, a city of commerce and magic!"

After the second screening.

He gazed once more at these figures, some wielding real power, others possessing military strength, others intelligence, and still others significantly influencing the plot.

In the end, many characters were crossed out one by one.

A few names were left without much psychological burden:

Baron Greyjoy!

"Head of House Greyjoy, Earl of Pyke Isle, Guardian of the Iron Islands, and leader of the Raiders."

"Rouss Bolton!"

"The Earl of Dreadfort, head of House Bolton, the Silent Butcher."

"The ruling class of Astapor—the benevolent rulers!"

"The southernmost city-state of Slaver's Bay, the only place where the Unsullied are born, is known for its bloody training of slave soldiers."

"Hundreds of slave-owning oligarchs ruled together, ruthless, profit-driven, and superstitious about force."

"The core industry is training absolutely obedient slave soldiers—the Immaculate."

"And various forms of slave trade (bed slaves, craftsmen, scribes, tutors, farm laborers, etc.)."

"Yonkai's ruling class—wise rulers!"

"A city of pleasure, famous for training bed slaves."

"They would teach slaves the 'seven sighs' and the 'sixteen pleasure positions'."

"In addition, the arena is also quite famous."

"Bed slaves, male prostitutes, gladiators, entertainment slave exporters, and some even more disgusting things."

"The ruling class of Meereen—the Great Lord!"

"The city of harpies, the largest, oldest, and most powerful city-state in Slaver's Bay, is the core inheritor of the ancient Githian culture."

"Comprehensive slave trade (various types of slave laborers, warriors, and scholars)."

Composing himself, Don Quixote gave a self-deprecating remark with a complex expression:

"I really don't seem to be suited for this game of thrones!"

For him, the ruler of White Harbor, Wiman Mandalay, was also a good target for control.

After all, compared to other people and places that only exist in our memories.

However, Bai Gang has indeed already made contact.

Although there is still no clue as to how to get in touch with Wiman Mandler or how to plant the seed of nightmares in his heart.

But at least it's a little easier than for others.

But the education he received in his past life, and the nearly ten years of knightly training he received from old Valentine in this life.

None of them taught him that he should pursue what he wanted by any means necessary.

He is vengeful.

Moreover, he will show no mercy to his enemies and will destroy them completely!

However, if asked to use unscrupulous methods to torment unrelated people in order to achieve a goal, he would find it difficult to do so.

Just by looking at the system descriptions, you can tell that planting the seeds of nightmares will be an extremely desperate process.

He chose Baron Greyjoy and Roose Bolton because these two had long been his sworn enemies.

During his wanderings with old Valentine, Baron Greyjoy's Ironborn raiders nearly killed them.

Needless to say, Roose Bolton could never forget the blood feud between his parents in this life.

As for the rulers of the three city-states of Slaver's Bay, the situation is quite simple.

He doesn't feel too much moral burden when torturing scumbags.

With many thoughts swirling within him, Don Quixote finally mocked himself once more:

"I really want to be both a gentleman and a ghost."

"It's not bad enough, but it's not good enough either."

"Oh well, I'll just live a happy and comfortable life."
