Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 6 Main Task One
The five major cities in Westeros refer to King's Landing, Old Town, Lannisport, Seagull Town, and White Harbor. They are five port cities that directly provide taxes to the Iron Throne, and are also the most densely populated area in Westeros.

Whenever tournaments are held in these cities, knights and mercenaries from all directions will flock here, including some great 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, and there is no jousting event)? Not the best (and richest) knight around?

To put it bluntly, to play this kind of formal jousting competition, is the player who has just started worthy?
Not to mention the question of whether the strength is up to the standard, the game armor and the game horse dedicated to the spear riding competition are not something that knight players can afford now.

Usually, the thickness of plate armor used in competitions will reach more than 4 mm, and its price is much higher than that of actual combat plate armor with a thickness of only a little over [-] mm. Competition horses are first-class horses, and their prices are usually several times that of ordinary war horses. .

And what about hedge knight players?An old chain armor and an ordinary tame horse.

Of course, anyone with a high level of skill and courage can sign up for the competition, but Ian thinks that he hasn't gotten to that level yet.

In his vision, he would at most participate in some pheasant real sword competitions held in the castles of the little nobles or in some towns.

"So what does this replacement mean?" Ian asked in his heart.

"We have designed at least three quest lines for each profession that players can choose from. Players can choose which one to complete after viewing all the options. After accepting it, they cannot be changed."

Ian heard the words, clicked Replace, and secretly prayed that the next task would be more reliable.

[Main Mission [-]: Road to Robbers

Mission description: It is often said 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. is a better choice?

Mission objective: Loot the castles or manors of the wealthy knights, and plunder the wealth of more than 100 golden dragons.

Task reward: 5 points, 3 attribute points, 3 skill points]

"Looting the castle of the property knights? Looting the wealth of more than 100 golden dragons?" Ian let out a sigh of relief, his face completely turned down.

He just felt a breath of despair rushing towards his face.

Take the castle of the poorest knight as an example. To sack such a castle, Ian needs to face at least one knight and one attendant.

In this case, it is not impossible for him to win, but the things that can be looted in this kind of knight castle (let's call it a castle) that is too poor to support a guard, it is estimated that there are no knights in total. His armor and horses are worth a lot.

Ian couldn't imagine how many votes it would take to loot 100 golden dragons.

What does 100 Golden Dragons mean?
In the original book, after King Joe was poisoned to death in the Purple Wedding, Sir Adam Marbrand offered a reward for the arrest of Sansa Stark, who was "suspected of killing the king with the little devil", and the bounty offered was so much!
Taking the top equipment of knight equipment as an example, a set of high-quality plate armor from head to toe, a set of high-quality long sword and hammer, a war horse and two marching horses only cost about 30 gold dragons in total.

But in the whole of Westeros, only those wealthy knights who own manors and a lot of land in the Reach, or those knights with mines in the western region can afford such a set of equipment, even if they are able to afford such a set Life will also become tight after the equipment.

As for other places, the wealthy knights in the valley mostly wear plate armor, the wealthy knights in the stormlands mostly wear plate armor, and the knights in the riverland simply use chain armor as their main equipment as hundreds of years ago.

So this mission is actually designed for the Hanging Excalibur, right?All you need to do is chop down the six Kings Guards and strip off their armor to complete the task, Ian suddenly thought absurdly.

Forced himself to calm down, Ian clicked [Replace] with his last hope.

[Main Mission [-]: The Golden Road

Mission description: The first time you raised your sword 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 objective: Earn 1000 gold dragons.

Task reward: 5 points, 3 attribute points, 3 skill points]

"." Now Ian felt completely numb.

Originally, 100 golden dragons was already an outrageous number, but this time it directly became 1000.

Although there is no limit to the way of earning these 1000 golden dragons, it is 1000 golden dragons!

During the War of the Five Kings, Caitlin Tully released Jaime, who was captured by the coalition forces, and asked him to return his two daughters after returning to King's Landing. The coalition forces fell into great passivity.

In this case, the lord of the river land, Almud Tully, Duke of Ben River, issued an arrest warrant for James, and the reward amount was 1000 golden dragons (this is also the highest reward amount that appeared in Ice and Fire ).

At that time, James was the commander-in-chief of the royal army, the captain of the Royal Guard, one of the strongest knights in Westeros, the heir to the richest Lannister family in Westeros, and his own father (crossed out), King Joe, He is only worth 1000 gold dragons.

Perhaps many people felt that the golden dragon was worthless when they saw that Robert would give the champion knight a prize of 40000 golden dragons when he held 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 Ed Stark, he mentioned that 6000 golden dragons were the number to buy the entire capital defense team, and Ed thought this number was reasonable.

In other words, 1000 Golden Dragons is equivalent to buying one-sixth of the capital defense team.

Letting early players make this money out of thin air is basically nonsense.

Suddenly, Ian had a very scary idea. After planning and designing such a few tasks, he didn't want us to complete the tasks at all, did he?

In addition, according to some data, the author estimates that Jinlong is a medium-sized gold coin of 7.56g.

Key points: This data is only used as the setting of this book (!!!), and it serves the follow-up plot, not as a textual research on the original work or history, so the bosses should not scrutinize (let alone use the current gold price to estimate purchasing power)
