Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 44 Triggering Missions
"Won't such continuous looting affect the income of their territory?"

"Anyway, the knights' territories are very scattered, and they don't have the right to tax passing caravans. As long as the ghosts of Whitewall City don't attack their manor, they will basically not be affected. As long as Darry City or Harrenhal remain There is one who has the power in the past, and it is impossible for this group of robbers to run amok here." Dorian smiled mockingly.

It's such a terrible time, the fiefdoms of the minor nobles are looted. If there is no local noble to lead the petition, the upper nobles generally have to turn a blind eye.

If it is a particularly responsible feudal monarch, as long as a plundered caravan goes to him to appeal, he will deal with this problem.

Unfortunately, the Duke of Run Valley, Hoster Tully, is dying of illness, and Jon Arryn, Hand of the King, was poisoned to death by his own wife who was instigated by Littlefinger.

This has led to the fact that no one can control the ghosts of White Wall City.

"Okay," Ian sighed, "so what else can you think of? Anything."

"When you asked, I remembered it. I overheard 'Shan Weasel' discussing a problem with his adoptive father before."

"Who is the weasel?"

"A small captain in the mercenary regiment, he is in charge of searching for the Blackfyre treasure in our regiment."

"Where is this person?"

"I don't know, he's been looking for the Blackfyre treasure in the generation of Whitewall City recently," Dorian shook his head, "but he will return to the station every once in a while to report the progress to his adoptive father."

"Won't the ghost of White Wall City attack your treasure hunting team?" Ian was curious.

"Never!" Dorian shook his head hastily. "This incident made the adoptive father suspect that the other party could not find the treasure himself, and wanted to use our strength to find it, so he deliberately let us in."

"It's not impossible, by the way, what did you overhear before?"

"A week ago, I overheard my adoptive father mentioning the ghost while talking with Shan Itachi. They seemed to know who the ghost was, but when I asked my foster father, he told me not to worry about it anymore, he said This will all be over soon."

"It's a good thing you remembered," Ian shook his head and chuckled, "Although I don't know what it means yet, I have a hunch that the key to unlocking the truth is hidden in this sentence."

"You mean, it was the ghost who killed my adoptive father?"

"This is a simple but superficial guess. You can't draw any valuable conclusions from this guess, can you? Judging from the current situation, we can only say that the death of your adoptive father may be related to the inner ghost. As for more information, I need time to sort out and think about it. But before that, we have to find this mountain weasel first."

"Even if we find him, he won't serve us. He only serves the head of the mercenary group." Dorian explained.

Mercenary captain?For a moment, Ian suddenly had a bold idea, is it possible for him to use this Dorian to seize control of the Black Falcon Mercenary Group?
Although he can't hope for the loyalty of a group of mercenaries, these people are still worth using until there are signs of rout or uneven distribution of spoils.

"So why don't you try to compete for the position of head? You are the adopted son of the former Black Falcon, aren't you?" Ian decided to put this idea into practice.

"This is not a title. There is no such thing as a son inheriting his father's business." Dorian was a little embarrassed.

"But as I said before, you will become the new Black Falcon." This time Ian changed to a more affirmative tone.

"Sir? You mean, you want to help me?" Dorian finally understood the meaning of this 'Sir Lucian Lannister', and became emotional all of a sudden.

But Dorian quickly calmed down again, "But Sir, you don't know that at least four mercenary captains are required to be nominated to participate in the Grand Master's election, and I only have one supporter, and I can persuade one at most if I am sure."

"With him, there are three." Ian pointed to Granson. "As for the fourth one, and even the Nth one that is enough for you to be elected as the new leader, Golden Dragon will help us convince them."

"You want to sponsor me?" Dorian said happily. Mercenaries usually have no principles. As long as you give them money, it's really not a big problem to convince them.

"Obviously, isn't it?"

"Then what's the price?" Dorian was not stupid and asked immediately.

"Allegiance."

"Black Falcon is a mercenary regiment, sir, no one can trust the loyalty of mercenaries, even if I get the position of grand master, it is impossible to lead a mercenary regiment to be loyal to you, but I am myself, if you can find out If I reveal the truth about my adoptive father's death and avenge him, I can swear allegiance to you and do my best to maintain the loyalty of the mercenary group to you."

Ding!Ian was about to answer, but to his surprise, the system that had been silent for a long time suddenly responded.

"Deal." Ian hurriedly answered Dorian, and then immediately closed his eyes to check.

[Discovery trigger task: The truth about the death of Black Falcon

Mission description: Black Falcon was attacked by a military heavy crossbow in the room of a suspected Grafson family knight in the middle of the night. His adopted son Dorian hopes that you can help him find out the truth about the murder of his Black Falcon and help him revenge.

Mission reward: Dorian will swear allegiance to you

Additional reward: unknown]

【Accept (consume 1 point)】【Reject】

A mission at this time?

As soon as Ian thought about it, he found the commonality of the two optional missions that popped up so far: the aborigines formally made a request to the player and promised a specific reward.

Without hesitation, Ian directly clicked to accept. He is rich and powerful and doesn't need to save this point now.

The task's interface quickly changed.

[Optional Mission 1: The Truth About the Death of the Black Falcon
Mission objective: Find out the truth about Black Falcon's death and avenge him.

Mission reward: Dorian will swear allegiance to you

Additional reward: unknown]

【Current remaining points: 13】

Looking at the refreshed task interface, Ian couldn't help but feel a little lost.

It just changed the task description into a task goal, and did not provide any clues beyond Dorian's description, and the extra reward of the task was still displayed as 'unknown', which meant that Ian could not use the content of the extra reward to find out Judge the difficulty of the task.
This means that the system doesn't give the player any loopholes.

Eh?wrong!Who said there are no loopholes to take advantage of?Ian suddenly thought of an excellent way to confirm the existence of the black fire treasure.

Although the quest will not provide the player with any additional information, as long as the quest of the Black Flame Treasure is released, it at least proves that this thing exists, right?

Of course, the test is not now, he still needs to continue to discuss the issue of the Black Falcon Mercenary Corps with Dorian.
