From a hired knight to a master of Game of Thrones

Chapter 98 Two Famous Paintings! Get Ready

The food was served one by one.

Lemon and herb roasted fish, honey-roasted duck leg, fish tofu soup, wild boar and radish soup, cream bread, seafood stew, barley and venison soup, and roast suckling pig stuffed with mushrooms.

Pair it with several large kegs of premium chilled dark beer.

The enticing aroma of the food quickly led Don Quixote and his retainers to feast and drink to their hearts' content.

"Awooo!"

The wolf cub, which had been lying under the table, hurriedly looked up, feeling as if it had been forgotten, and howled in distress.

"Oh, and there's you, little one too."

After Don Quixote gulped down a glass of dark beer, he glanced at the messy food on the table and picked up a piece of honey-glazed duck leg to feed the wolf cub.

The next day.

After bestowing the title of five knights upon the five knights in the presence of most of the people of the territory in the same investiture ceremony, Don Quixote enjoyed a sumptuous meal and drank a lot of dark beer with the five knights.

After resting for a while, he headed towards Yangtou Mountain.

Don Quixote stood at the foot of Goat's Head Mountain, quietly sketching on the easel set up in front of him.

Not long after.

An ugly landscape painting appeared on his brush.

"It looks a bit better than last time." Don Quixote was quite satisfied with his painting skills: "At this rate of improvement, I should be able to catch up."

His diligent study of painting was a gift he prepared for the Lannister family of Casterly Rock, specifically for Jaime Lannister.

Don Quixote has no intention of intervening in the matter of Bran being thrown off the tower after accidentally seeing something he shouldn't have because of his reckless climbing of Winterfell's ancient walls.

Just let things take their natural course.

If fate continues as before, he will, after the events, present a chaotic painting depicting "Jaime Lannister the Kingslayer cruelly pushing the young lord of the North off a tower" to someone who is meant to see it.

For example, Jaime Lannister himself.

For example, the Stark family of Winterfell.

Don Quixote intends to get Jaime Lannister out of the upcoming Game of Thrones right from the start.

If things go as he planned.

Jaime Lannister will become a member of the Night's Watch and guard the Wall in the North.

It's a shame that Jaime Lannister, with his top-tier fighting skills, isn't using them to kill White Walkers.

Of course, Don Quixote also had to prepare another famous painting that was not suitable for children to see: "Angry at his sister, the Queen."

In addition, he knew the true origins of Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen.

There is a chance that Jaime Lannister will compromise and become a member of the Night's Watch.

If Jaime Lannister compromises, the relationship between the Lannisters of Casterly Rock and the Starks of Winterfell will become extremely tense, but war will not actually break out in the short term.

If we don't compromise, then a war that was bound to break out sooner or later will only occur prematurely.

With Eddard Stark commanding the army in the North, the war is unlikely to unfold as it did in the original storyline.

If possible, Don Quixote still didn't want the North to descend into complete chaos, but he also didn't want the situation to be peaceful.

The saying "chaos is the ladder of progress" still holds a lot of truth.

If things don't descend into chaos, how can Don Quixote expand his territory, destroy the Iron Throne, and establish a new empire?

But there should be a limit to chaos. If things get completely chaotic in the early stages, how can he gradually develop his small territory?

A cacophony of hoofbeats interrupted Don Quixote's turbulent thoughts.

after awhile.

Rodney rode up behind one of his followers.

Rodney dismounted and walked a few steps to Don Quixote's side. He glanced at the new painting and exclaimed, "My lord, you've painted it very well."

Don Quixote smiled, ignoring the obvious flattery, and asked, "Lord Rodney, how does this second visit to my territory feel?"

Rodney immediately replied, "It felt wonderful, as if I were still in White Harbor. And the people of your territory are all very wealthy; they bought all my goods in such a short time!"

Don Quixote shook his head and sighed, "That's because my territory lacks everything, so when you merchants come, the people will buy everything they need if they don't want to go hungry or cold."

— Having gold, silver, deer, and bronze points is enough.

Rodney muttered to himself, then said, "By the way, sir, I plan to open a shop in your territory to collect some of the goods there, so that I can sell them when I return to White Harbor."

Don Quixote asked doubtfully, "Lord Rodney, it seems that my territory currently doesn't have any goods worth trading."

Dafengling originally had fewer than a hundred poor villagers. These poor villagers could barely support themselves and had no spare capacity to produce goods that could be traded.

With Don Quixote becoming lord, the wealthy people of Great Wind Territory, under his generous financial offensive, no longer farmed, hunted, or fished.

Instead of wasting time on that, it's better to help the lord with his work and earn generous rewards, then directly purchase the necessary supplies from the merchants who come to Great Wind Territory.

After living like this for a while, few of the people in Dafengling were willing to return to their original way of life, as the returns were too low and life was too difficult.

"----Well.

"6

Rodney thought about it and realized that the Great Wind Ridge wasn't producing much at the moment.

Don Quixote suddenly said, "Lord Rodney, how about this, I will arrange for some of my people to fish and make dried fish, and to hunt and make furs."

"By the way, if you find the wooden furniture in my territory acceptable, it's the same wooden furniture in the hotel room you're currently staying in."

"I can also arrange for a carpenter to make some wooden items."

"That way when you go back, you can bring back some dried fish, furs, and woodenware to sell in Baigang."

"Of course, I will give you a reasonable price to repay your continued trust in me and my territory!"

After a pause, Don Quixote continued, "Also, if you really intend to open a shop in my territory, I would be very happy to do so."

"Then next time you can bring more goods. That way, even if you can't sell them in a short time, you can put the remaining goods in the shop and continue to sell them when you're not in my territory."

"Don't worry, I will ensure that your goods and your shop are treated fairly."

Upon hearing this, Rodney fell into deep thought.

While reminiscing about the wooden furnishings in the hotel room, he pondered how much cargo he should bring next time.

—Those wooden items, though ordinary, could still be sold among the lower-class commoners in Baigang. Since the truck was empty anyway, they could take some back to sell on the return trip.

Dried fish, furs, and the like—although Baigang has no shortage of these things, if the prices are lower, one can still make a small profit in Baigang.

Don Quixote's people are richer and more welcoming than I imagined. Next time, I might try bringing half as many goods again.

Rodney quickly replied, "My lord, the woodenware produced in your territory will sell very well in White Harbor."

"Then I might have to stay a little longer in your territory this time to take care of things at the shop before I leave."

Don Quixote smiled and changed his form of address: "Rodney, I consider you a trustworthy friend. You can stay in my territory as long as you like; my territory will always welcome you."

"By the way, Rodney, I seem to remember you have three sons, who can become knights if you wish."

"I can ask my sworn knights if they need a knight's squire."
