From a hired knight to a master of Game of Thrones

Chapter 95 Warren Arrives

After pondering many things, Don Quixote's gaze finally settled on the quest panel.

[Employer: Rodney]

[Mission: Protect fishmonger Rodney's caravan as it safely arrives at Grayhill Village and returns safely to Whiteharbour.]

【award:

245 Golden Dragons (Unclaimable)

Exploration Glasses:

A magical artifact created by a powerful wizard in order to explore the various unknown knowledge of the surrounding planes.

A monocle made primarily of pure white mystic crystal.

Once equipped, it allows you to directly view the basic attributes of many items within your field of vision, making it an excellent tool for first-time explorations of another world.

"This job posting appeared four days ago, so it seems Warren is also planning to come here."

"I just realized when he would come; what a coincidence."

"Is Rodney ready with another shipment, wanting to trade with me?"

"They're even more proactive than me."

Don Quixote glanced at the task panel for a while before shifting his attention to the desk in front of him.

He soon began to peruse a tattered, yellowed book.

While carefully examining the text, he copied the appropriate content onto the parchment next to him.

This is a book that records some medical knowledge of this world, collected by a merchant who had previously visited his territory.

He bought it at a high price.

The interior of a spacious, clean, and bright stone house that Don Quixote named the "House of History".

A flame was lit in front of the fireplace.

Don Quixote stood in the center of the room.

Sitting closest to him were seven children of all ages, who were both nervous and excited.

On the outer perimeter were several adult citizens.

Don Quixote began slowly: "Our lives are very short, and our experiences vanish in an instant with our death."

"But with stories, with words, with books."

"We can clearly record our experiences and deeds, so that they can become a shared wisdom that transcends time."

Therefore, we must study writing carefully and read books diligently.

"By understanding written language and frequently reading books, we can learn about distant lands and long-gone ancient people, and also gain experience and knowledge from others."

"In this way, our own experience will become richer, and our own abilities will become stronger rapidly."

After a pause, Don Quixote continued, "In the future, I will try my best to set aside some time to tell you those ancient stories, those forgotten histories."

"All you have to do is listen carefully and look through the books in this room."

"I know you don't know many words right now, but that's okay. I will arrange for someone who knows how to read to come over, and after a while, I will also arrange for a scholar to teach you."

"Take your time to look at it, and familiarize yourself with it word by word."

"By the way, I will test your literacy skills every now and then."

"If you fail three times, you can no longer stay in this house to study writing."

"You can only find a place to learn the language on your own, if you are still willing to learn the language."

"Of course, don't worry, the test won't be difficult, it's very simple. As long as you memorize, read, and learn diligently, you will pass."

Upon hearing this, the children, both young and old, who were already quite sensible, became tense.

The adults became even more uneasy.

Soon, Don Quixote began to formally recount the history of Game of Thrones that he had seen and remembered: "No one knows for sure when our world was born, perhaps more than 40,000 years ago, or 500,000 years ago, or even longer."

"Anything is possible, but no one dares to be sure."

"Because the first era in ancient times was the Dawn Era, when there was no writing."

"At that time, there were all sorts of uncivilized peoples all over the world, and countless tribes roamed the land. Everything was very primitive and barbaric."

"The Andals, Valyrians, Giskalites, and even the distant and magical Aschas were not yet civilized at that time."

"And the continent of Westeros, located between the land of eternal winter and the sea of ​​summer, is where we are now, the home of the Seven Kingdoms."

"At that time, they belonged to two other races."

"The children of the forest and the giants.

"According to the last Night's Watch Rangers who saw giants, giants were not only as tall as described in fairy tales, reaching up to fourteen feet in height, but they also had thick hair, though they were simple-minded."

"The children of the forest are the complete opposite of the giants."

"They are like children, with dark skin and beautiful faces. They are extremely skilled at making tools and hunting weapons from obsidian. By the way, obsidian is also known as dragon crystal."

Don Quixote, who was temporarily acting as the history teacher, spoke for quite a while. After he finished, he pointed to the brand-new books on the new wooden bookshelves around him and instructed, "Now you can go and look through these books. Someone who can read will come over later. Just ask if you don't know any words."

"Yes, my lord!" The people around hurriedly and respectfully replied.

At this moment, Adele, who had been waiting nearby, quickly walked to Don Quixote's side and said, "Sir, Rodney has just arrived at the village entrance, accompanied by Warren and the others."

Rodney stood at the entrance of Grayhill Village, looking around at everything, and soon exclaimed in deep amazement, "This place has changed so much."

Warren, who dismounted and walked to Rodney's side, also looked around in surprise.

The wide stone roads that replaced the dirty muddy ground, and the many new and sturdy houses, made him feel as if he were in the streets of White Harbor, rather than a remote village that few people had heard of.

The group looked around for a moment, and many of them suddenly turned to look at Don Quixote, who was walking briskly towards them.

Rodney, Warren, and their group hurried forward, respectfully saying, "Sir!"

"Lord Rodney, welcome back to my territory for business." Don Quixote greeted Rodney first, then looked at Warren and smiled, "Warren, it's been a long time."

After a brief greeting, Don Quixote turned his attention to the rest of the group.

The group included Rodney's caravan crew and guards, twenty members of the Bloodhand mercenary group including Warren, and a middle-aged man with his wife and children.

Warren stepped forward at the opportune moment, approached Don Quixote, and whispered the situation to him.

Upon hearing this, Don Quixote was overjoyed and looked again at the middle-aged man with a son, a daughter, and a wife: "Mr. Timothy, welcome to you and your family. You will surely gain kindness and wealth here."

Upon hearing this, Timothy immediately smiled and said, "Lord Don Quixote, my family and I would very much like to become your subjects."

Nighttime, in the study.

Don Quixote listened attentively to Warren's report on the Bloodhand Mercenary Group's recent activities, and then accepted a small pile of parchment and a small bag of golden dragons.

Those were the employment contracts and wages between the Bloodhand Mercenary Group and the merchants.

Then, Don Quixote laughed and said, "Warren, your abilities are even better than I imagined."

"To express my deepest gratitude, I intend to reward you with 50 gold dragons."

"Furthermore, if you don't mind the absence of monks and nuns as witnesses, and the absence of the Church of the Seven, then I'm prepared to formally knight you in front of everyone tomorrow!"

If he hadn't promised Warren to be his first Oath Knight earlier, he might have crowned someone else in the next few days.

Conferring the title of Oath Knight will make the loyalty of Bloodhand Mercenary Group members purer and less likely to betray them.

Warren knelt heavily on one knee and said excitedly, "My lord, I don't care whether there is a Church of the Seven Gods or whether there are monks or nuns to witness it."

"I really look forward to becoming a knight of oaths for adults!"
