LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 6 Main Mission 1
The five major cities in Westeros include King's Landing, Oldtown, Lannisport, Seagulltown, and White Harbor. They are the five port cities that directly provide taxes to the Iron Throne. They are also the most densely populated area in Westeros.
Whenever a tournament is held in these cities, knights and mercenaries from all directions will flock to them, including some big nobles.
And jousting is the most typical aristocratic game. Who can win the jousting championship in these cities, even the second-to-last smallest Seagull Town (the smallest White Harbor is in the north, there is no jousting event) Not the best (and rich) knight?
To put it bluntly, is it suitable for players who have just started to compete in this kind of formal lance competition?
Not to mention the question of whether the strength is up to standard, the competition armor and competition horses dedicated to lance competition are not something that knight players can afford now.
Usually the thickness of plate armor used for competitions is more than 4 mm, and its price is much higher than actual combat plate armor with a thickness of just over 2 mm. Competition horses are first-class thoroughbred war horses, and their prices are usually several times that of ordinary war horses. .
And what about the Mercenary Knight players? An old chainmail suit and an ordinary tame horse.
Of course, if you are an expert and brave, you can also sign up for the competition, but Ian thinks that he has not gone that far yet.
In his imagination, he would most likely participate in some pheasant sword competitions held in the castles of minor nobles or in some towns.
"So what does this replacement mean?" Ian asked in his mind.
"We have designed at least three quest lines for each profession that players can choose. Players can choose which one to complete after viewing all options. Once accepted, they cannot change."
After hearing this, Ian clicked on the replacement, and secretly prayed that the next mission would be more reliable.
[Main Mission 1: Road of Robbers
Mission description: People often say that hedge knights and robber knights are two sides of the same coin. Even if you have never been a robber, you are still affected by the infamous reputation of your peers. In this case, maybe throwing away that meaningless honor will help. Is it a better choice?
Mission goal: Loot the castle or manor of the wealthy knight, and plunder more than 100 golden dragons in total.
Mission reward: 5 points, 3 attribute points, 3 skill points]

"Plundering the castle of a wealthy knight? And plundering the wealth of more than 100 golden dragons?" Ian exhaled, his expression completely changed.
He only felt a desperate breath coming towards his face.
Take a castle belonging to the poorest knight as an example. To sack such a castle, Ian needs to face at least one knight and one attendant.
It's not impossible for him to win in this case, but in this kind of knight's castle (let's call it a castle) that is so poor that it can't even afford a guard, the things that can be looted in total are probably more than the number of knights. The armor and horses are valuable.
If he wanted to rob 100 gold dragons, Ian couldn't imagine how many votes it would take.
What does 100 gold dragons mean?
In the original book, after Emperor Joe was poisoned in the Purple Wedding, Ser Adam Marbrand offered a reward for Sansa Stark, who was suspected of being "suspected of collaborating with the little devil to kill the king". The reward offered was only so much!
Taking the top equipment of a knight, a set of high-quality plate armor from head to toe, a set of high-quality long swords and hammers, a war horse and two marching horses only cost about 30 gold dragons in total.
But in the whole of Westeros, only the wealthy knights in the River Bend who own manors and large amounts of land, or the knights in the West who have mines at home, can afford such a set of equipment. Even they, after affording such a set of equipment, can Life will become tight after equipping yourself with equipment.
As for other places, the wealthy knights in the Valley mostly wore plate and chain armor, the wealthy knights in the Stormlands mostly wore plate armor, and the knights in the Riverlands simply used chain armor as their main equipment as they did hundreds of years ago.
So this mission is actually designed for Fusuo Excalibur, right? All he had to do was cut down six Kingsguards and then strip off their armor to complete the task, Ian suddenly thought absurdly.
Forcing himself to calm down, Ian clicked [Change] with his last hope.
[Main Mission 1: Golden Road
Mission description: The first time you raised the sword in your hand for money instead of justice or lordship, you suddenly realized the truth of this world. Gold is the only true god, and everything else is false.
Mission goal: Earn 1,000 gold dragons.
Mission reward: 5 points, 3 attribute points, 3 skill points]

"." Now Ian felt completely numb.
Originally, 100 golden dragons was already a ridiculous number, but this time it became 1,000.
Although there are no restrictions on how to earn these 1,000 gold dragons, they are still 1,000 gold dragons!
During the War of the Five Kings, Catelyn Tully secretly released Jaime, who was captured by the coalition forces, and asked him to return his two daughters when he returned to King's Landing. This behavior undoubtedly caused dissatisfaction among the people in the North and the Riverlands. The coalition forces fell into great passivity.
In this case, the Lord of the Riverlands, Duke Ahmaud Tully of the Bend Valley, issued a wanted order for Jaime, with a bounty of 1,000 gold dragons (this is also the highest bounty ever seen in Ice and Fire ).
At that time, Jaime was the commander of the royal army, the captain of the Kingsguard, one of the strongest knights in Westeros, the heir to the richest Lannister family in Westeros, and the biological father of Emperor Joe (crossed out). He is only worth 1000 gold dragons.
Perhaps many people think that golden dragons are worthless when they see that Robert will provide 40,000 gold dragons as a bonus to the champion knight when he holds a tournament in King's Landing.
But you must know that the first volume of Ice and Fire was published in the last century. In a common view, it is believed that it was a bug caused by Mr. Martin not thinking so much in the early days of writing the book.
In fact, after Robert's death, when Littlefinger approached Eddard Stark, he mentioned that 6,000 gold dragons was the number to buy an entire city guard, and Eddard thought this number was reasonable.
In other words, 1,000 gold dragons is equivalent to buying one-sixth of the city's defense team.
It is basically nonsense to ask early players to make this money out of thin air.
Suddenly, Ian had a very terrible idea. After planning and designing such tasks, he didn't want us to complete the tasks at all, right?
Note: The currency exchange ratio in the world of ice and fire is: 1 gold dragon = 30 silver moons = 210 silver deer, 1 silver deer = 49 bronze stars, 1 bronze star = 8 bronze points.
In addition, based on some data, the author estimates that the Golden Dragon is a medium-sized gold coin of 7.56g.
Important point: This data is only used as the setting of this book (!!!) and serves the subsequent plot. It is not used as a verification of the original work or history, so bosses should not scrutinize it (let alone use the current gold price to estimate purchasing power)
