From a hired knight to a master of Game of Thrones

Chapter 93, Level Six

Inside the council hall, which was built using frost-covered trees as the main material.

It's warm and comfortable, with a stable temperature.

In the center of the hall is a long table carved from a giant wooden board.

There were eight black oak chairs with leather cushions around the long table.

Don Quixote sat in the main chair, listening intently as his seven retainers reported on the various aspects of their territory.

As the territory develops rapidly, there will only be more and more things to do, and at the same time, the division of labor for various tasks will gradually become clearer.

Therefore, even though his territory was severely lacking in suitable administrators and people who could write and understand characters.

Don Quixote had to pick out some taller people from among the shorter ones to make do with for now.

He currently employs seven retainers.

Adele is the steward of the territory, in charge of money, accounts, and all matters related to the operation of the territory.

He also oversees the territory's nascent commercial street.

Phoenix, with his outstanding skills and expertise in formal knightly training, oversees the training grounds and several knights and riders in his territory.

Zachary, a former hunter and now a knight, is in charge of all the hunters in his territory.

Stonemason Kilan is currently the most skilled stonemason in the territory at work, and he oversees all the stonemasons.

Carpenter Vance was the best carpenter and oversaw all the carpenters.

Finn, a former shepherd, tended all the livestock on his territory, including the stable area.

Mrs. Hannah, who used to run a hotel, now runs nearly half of the open-air stalls in the food street and a new hotel, and is familiar with most of the villagers in Greyhill Village.

He then acted as a middleman, relaying Don Quixote's orders down the line and conveying the people's demands up the line.

In this way, with these seven retainers as his tentacles, Don Quixote's every specific command could be quickly and accurately conveyed to all his subjects.

Stonemason Kieran respectfully reported, "Sir, there are currently three stonemason apprentices who meet your requirements."

To boost the morale of people in all trades in the territory, Don Quixote initially standardized all trades into six classes.

The lowest level is apprentice.

Examples include stonemason apprentices, carpenter apprentices, knight squires, and animal herder apprentices.

These people have some basic knowledge of their respective industries and can also lend a hand.

The fifth level is junior technician.

One can become an independent technician by passing the assessments in various industries.

For example, a rough stonemason who can independently quarry, cut materials, and build walls.

For example, a first-class knight who can travel far alone.

The fourth level is intermediate technician.

They are already elites in the industry and can clearly teach others some basic skills in the industry.

For example, fine stonemasons who can carve complex figures, auspicious beasts, and story scenes.

For example, one could challenge and defeat three first-class knights at the same time, or become a second-class knight who wins a small tournament by virtue of their own strength.

The third level is senior technician.

His skills have reached a high level, enough to make him a representative figure in the industry that people often mention.

In the stonemason profession, this means someone who can carve complex stone components.

In the context of knights, this translates to being able to challenge and defeat five first-level knights simultaneously, or becoming a third-level knight who wins a category in a large-scale martial arts tournament through their own strength.

The second rank is for craftsmen or knight commanders.

With his skills and prestige being widely respected, he has the potential to become a renowned figure in the Seven Kingdoms.

Among stonemasons are those who can design and oversee the construction of stone towers, large-scale projects, and sturdy castles.

Among the knights, there are those who can challenge and defeat ten first-class knights at the same time, or those who become the knight captains who win all events in a large-scale tournament through their own strength.

The first tier consists of either a master craftsman or a heroic knight.

He is one of the world's most outstanding figures, and is expected to become a legendary figure known throughout the seven kingdoms.

Stonemasons were capable of overseeing stonework in cities, palaces, and temples, and their every stroke of the axe and chisel was incredible.

The knights, on the other hand, had reached the pinnacle of martial arts and skills, or their physical strength and physique had reached inhuman levels, enabling them to directly confront dozens or even hundreds of elite soldiers.

Reaching the standards for each level will earn you an attractive long-term reward.

For example, apprentices can receive 1 silver deer each month free of charge.

For example, junior technicians can receive 100 silver deer every month free of charge.

Currently, apart from the knightly group, Don Quixote's territory has a considerable number of members who truly meet the corresponding level standards.

There are nine first-class knights in total, all of whom are capable of traveling alone.

As for the junior craftsmen, there were three: stonemason Kieran, carpenter Vance, and shepherd Finn.

However, strictly speaking, these three individuals have not yet reached the corresponding standards set by Don Quixote.

However, since there was really no one in the territory, and in order to make these three people the role models for everyone in the territory to work hard and try their best to learn, some requirements were relaxed, allowing these three people to pass the junior technician level assessment and become junior technicians.

They became special talents who could receive 100 silver deer every month without pay.

This is a fantasy goal that many people in the community greatly admire and desperately want to become.

"—" Stonemason Kieran nervously reported a lot of things, and finally said, "Sir, that's all I wanted to tell you."

Don Quixote nodded and smiled, "Kieran, you and your stonemason apprentices have really worked hard these past few days. Without your tireless work polishing the stones day and night, the territory wouldn't have developed so quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the stonemason Kieran was excited and hurriedly replied, "Sir, you have given us all a life we ​​never imagined, and we will never let you down."

This is the truth.

Today, let's set aside status and wealth for Kieran.

In addition to receiving 100 silver deer per month free of charge.

As a retainer, I also receive a monthly stipend of 50 silver deer.

As the head of the stonemasons in a territory, one can receive 100 gold coins for training a qualified stonemason apprentice.

Silver deer.

As long as you complete the required number of standard stones on time, you can also receive at least 10 silver deer.

If you exceed the target, you will receive 100 copper points for each additional stone that meets the standard.

It can be said that in the past two weeks, Kieran has earned nearly 1 gold dragon's worth of reward.

This was a fortune he could never have imagined before, but now it was already in his pocket.

Such a significant change was enough to make the stonemason Kieran unwilling to lose everything he currently possessed.

Whether it's for their own happiness or an order from the lord.

He will do his best to fulfill all of the lord's requirements, and will even exceed them.

Nowadays, stonemason Kieran has far less rest time than other citizens.

If it weren't for the fact that polishing the stone would inevitably create some annoying noise, and the lord had explicitly forbidden them from doing any work late at night that would disturb the rest of other citizens.

He wished he could go and polish the stone even in the dead of night.

However, even though he can no longer polish the stone, the now wealthy stonemason Kilan lavishly lights candles every night and buys paper and pens to doodle.

Night after night, he pondered and summarized his experience in polishing stone to teach others, and night after night, he thought about how to carve a piece of stone well to satisfy the lord.

If he weren't illiterate, he would have borrowed books on stonemasonry from the lord to study.
