From a hired knight to a master of Game of Thrones

Chapter 82 New Magical Items

After a story banquet attended by nearly a hundred people, Don Quixote had gained a basic understanding of the situation of all the people in his fiefdom.

Similarly, all the people in his fiefdom also began to accept their new lord.

The next morning.

Don Quixote, who got up early, along with Cole, Alden, and Adele, began to learn about the actual situation and some specific details that were difficult to perceive on a map, around his fiefdom.

For example, his territory is not small.

If we only consider the flat land and pastures, it's nearly ten square kilometers. If we include the forests where he has the right to hunt freely, it might be fifteen square kilometers.

It's important to know that a knight with property doesn't own a very large territory.

Generally speaking, a territory is considered sufficient to support one knight.

In other words, the output of the territory is sufficient for the knight to keep his warhorse and weapons, maintain his decent life, and bear all the necessary expenses required to fulfill his obligations to his lord.

Then it can become the territory of a property knight.

In contrast to the south, many wealthy knights may own territories of less than one square kilometer.

It can only be said that the North, which accounts for about 40% of the area of ​​the Seven Kingdoms, is not lacking in land.

But the population in the North is truly sparse.

Such a large territory as Don Quixote's was inhabited by only 73 people.

However, Don Quixote looked around and found that most of his territory was uncultivated wasteland, and that it was perpetually frozen wasteland.

Without paying a sufficient price, it would be difficult to grow any crops on it.

"Sir, there seems to be a wild beast ahead."

Cole’s words suddenly broke Don Quixote’s thoughts.

Once Don Quixote regained his senses, he instantly raised his bow and arrow.

Ten meters away in the bushes, a gray figure was making some subtle movements.

"It's a wild rabbit."

Don Quixote blinked, and with his excellent eyesight, he quickly recognized the gray figure.

Upon finding his target, Don Quixote gently nocked an arrow.

Point to the pine, and the arrow is released.

Whoosh!

The sharp sound of the arrow pierced the morning mist, and the hare suddenly took flight.

But it was too late; the uneasy creature was instantly pierced by an arrow to the head.

—The feeling of hunting freely in your own territory is just different.

Don Quixote watched as Cole spurred his horse forward to retrieve the prey, a sense of exhilaration rising within him.

His archery skills were not bad, but because it was difficult to find suitable hunting grounds before, he only used a bow and arrow when practicing shooting targets daily and when teaching archery to those around him.

He rarely used a bow and arrow at other times.

Don Quixote preferred to kill his enemies with a sword rather than a bow and arrow.

—However, now that you're free to hunt and use a bow and arrow to hunt wild animals, it feels quite different.

It's more exhilarating to face an enemy head-on and personally slay them with swords.

Don Quixote glanced at the piles of prey he had shot and carried on horseback beside him, and some random thoughts flashed through his mind.

Not long after, Cole spurred his horse back, carrying a wild rabbit in his left hand.

"My lord, another arrow kills!" Cole exclaimed admiringly.

Don Quixote laughed and said, "With more practice, you'll be able to do that soon too."

Upon hearing this, Coldon immediately shook his head and said, "Sir, I don't have that kind of confidence."

"Then practice more! You can hunt with Zachary more often, using a bow and arrow. Oh, and Alden, you too," Don Quixote replied, then added, "Let's go, we should head back."

Alden has changed a lot without realizing it.

At least in Don Quixote's recent attempts to weave Alden's dream storylines, Alden has largely stopped betraying him.

Therefore, Don Quixote had already begun teaching Knight Alden basic breathing techniques, and also provided blood apples to improve Alden's physique.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the fact that Don Quixote had already written Alden's name and left Alden's blood on the magic contract scroll, "The Ironclad Secret."

In fact, not only Alden, but everyone around Don Quixote had already left their names and blood on the magic contract scroll, "The Ironclad Secret."

Only by completely eliminating the possibility of the secret being leaked will Don Quixote use some system task rewards to train others.

Four days later.

Don Quixote had just finished his daily knightly training when he suddenly paused, looking at the system's mission panel.

[Employer: Kenneth]

[Mission: Protect fishmonger Kenneth's caravan as it safely arrives in the Old Town and returns safely to White Harbor.]

【award:

175 Golden Dragons (Unclaimable)

Ten mutated tree species (cannot be claimed)

"There are new magical items again. Hmm, it seems that new merchants have boarded the trade route to the Old City. After the recent operation to eliminate the raiders, the safety between White Harbor and the Old City must have been greatly improved in the short term."

"In addition, before leaving, the Bloodhand Mercenary Group recruited ten new members, so Warren and his group are strong enough."

"With enough personnel and considerable strength, it seems Warren is starting to consider taking on some challenging mercenary missions that require leaving White Harbor."

"I suppose this mission is just a transition, well, like Warren's usual cautious and steady approach."

Don Quixote thought for a moment, and a guess quickly came to mind.

However, he didn't think too much about it.

Don Quixote composed himself and looked back at the quest panel, staring intently at it.

Differentiated tree species:

This is a tree seed created by a novice wizard that can grow rapidly, with the intention of quickly planting certain special trees and selling them.

Because the novice wizard used certain mysterious materials during the experiment, the tree seed not only grew rapidly but also absorbed the characteristics of different soil environments, transforming into a tree possessing corresponding abilities.

After carefully reading the description of the mutated tree species, Don Quixote was somewhat disappointed.

"No matter how special a tree is, it's still just a tree, and I don't think it's very useful."

But after a breath, he suddenly thought of something: "Wait, isn't there a strange tree in this world?"

"The vessel of the old gods' faith—the weirwood carved with human faces, or the heart tree."

The top shapeshifter, the Green Prophet, who possesses the talent of "Green Vision," seems to be able to completely integrate his own consciousness into the Heart Tree, thereby gaining many supernatural abilities.

"I wonder if these trees, which possess corresponding special abilities, can become extraordinary trees like the Heart Tree."

"Thinking about it that way, I'm actually starting to look forward to it."

After making a few random guesses, Don Quixote pulled himself out of his thoughts and began to organize the various tools for practicing knightly skills.

After getting ready, Don Quixote rode his horse to the outskirts of Grey Hill.

Before long, Don Quixote arrived at his destination.

Looking at the nine Bloodhand mercenary group members who had followed him to the fiefdom, he saw that they all seemed to have become craftsmen, busy building houses.

Of course, in addition to the nine members of the Bloodhand Mercenary Group, there were also thirteen villagers from Grayhill Village.

However, because there were many houses to be built, even though there were already 22 people on site involved in the construction work, the work was still extremely busy.

—We still don't have enough manpower.

Don Quixote, feeling helpless, quickly dismounted as well.

Upon seeing Don Quixote, Phoenix, who was busy stacking stones, hurriedly put down the rough stones he was holding and went to greet him: "My lord!"

Don Quixote nodded and then asked, "Phoenix, are those people willing to live in Grayhill Village?"

Upon hearing this, Phoenix immediately replied, "Sir, all those people are willing to live in Grayhill Village."
