Game of Thrones: From a deserter to a high-ranking official

Chapter 10 Fishing, Swamp Sorcery, and Vito's Aid

【Hmm?】Tiberius suddenly sensed something was wrong with his system, so he quickly opened it.

The title section in the original system has changed.

Title: "Lightning" (Fame: 2%)

Brand awareness increased from 1% to 2%.

[What exactly is this "title fame" thing?] Tiberius was starting to have some doubts. [How did it suddenly increase?]

[Furthermore, how can this level of fame help me?]

However, for the time being, Tiberius doesn't need to worry about what his fame in the system can do, because the rumbling sound of carriage wheels can be heard on the road.

Lisandro Rogal and his entourage arrived at the White Legion's encampment.

Lisangzhuo did not intend to make a grand visit to the White Legion, but instead chose a relatively "simple" mode of transportation: ten guards dressed in silk robes, each a skilled swordsman, their scale armor gleaming with gold, clearly gilded; ten maids, each a beauty; and ten strong, dark-skinned men with gold necklaces around their necks, their lower lips cut off, carrying heavy axes, clearing the way for the Rogal family.

As for Lisangzhuo himself, he sat in a sedan chair, carried by several young and strong slaves.

After seeing Lisandro's grand display, Tiberius became even more determined to find Lisandro's daughter.

[Once I find his daughter, I can naturally suggest that she study law, or accounting, or even become a servant under my rich friend Lisanro! In short, don't send me to the front lines!] Tiberius thought to himself.

[If everything goes well, I can stay in the rear and study in peace. Hmm, maybe I'll study accountants, maybe I'll study law, maybe I'll continue to help Lisanro become the most dazzling kid at the hunting party... But in short, the Blood Dragon Dance and the war in the Three Daughters Kingdom will definitely have nothing to do with me!] Tiberius was making plans in his mind.

Jules stepped forward, reached out his hand, and helped Lisanzhuo down from the sedan chair.

"Welcome, sir, and thank you for your presence!" Jules said respectfully to Lisandro. "Your arrival makes this banquet worthy of being remembered by our legion's recorder."

Yes, the White Legion has so-called recorders, but the recorders Jules found were certainly not maesters from the Citadel; those people had already been reserved by the Citadel to serve as private advisors to the noble families of Westeros.

And the recorder...

Yes, the recorder is still Vito Coppola.

At this moment, he held a quill pen in one hand and parchment in the other, his spirits high, recording this very important banquet that would be recorded in the history of the White Legion.

-----------------

Lisanzhu greeted every mercenary he encountered, shaking their hands warmly. This tactic worked well on the new recruits, and as for veterans like Vito... they indeed became friendly after seeing the gold coins Lisanzhu slipped into their hands.

[As expected, someone who can become the top banker in Ries couldn't be an ordinary person, could he?] Tiberius glanced sideways at Lisandro's words of comfort to the White Legion members. [With that kind of emotional intelligence, if he doesn't get rich, who will?]

After Lisandra entered the center of the banquet, the members of the White Legion began to revel.

Then, everything went according to Tiberius's plan: Jules pretended to be drunk, staggered to his feet, and began to tell his own story against Sandro and the mercenaries of the White Legion.

He recounted his "first vow" with a girl, but she later disappeared, and Jules failed to keep his vow for the first and last time.

"That's why I refused Lord Lisanzhuo's request to find his daughter!" Jules, his face flushed, raised his horn cup and offered a toast to Lisanzhuo.

"This is my inner demon. I, Jules the 'Keeper of Faith,' became a 'Keeper of Faith' because I had failed before; I had not kept my promises. But today, two more ladies of noble birth have gone missing!"

The mercenaries of the White Legion listened quietly to their commander's story, some of the new recruits even shedding tears because of it; even the veterans showed expressions of "sudden realization".

[No wonder the boss became a "trustworthy person," it turns out it was because of love.] they thought. [Who would have thought that a blockhead like Boss Jules had such a past...]

However, Jules's facial expression management was really bad; when telling such a "touching" story, his face was basically expressionless.

Vito kept his head down taking notes, but in reality he was constantly striking Tiberius's ribs with his elbow.

"Look what you've done!" Vito said in a low voice, trying hard to suppress his laughter.

"Believe me, in a month, all the people of Ris will know that Jules Maud, the commander of the White Legion, is a hopeless romantic. He became a 'Guardian of Faith' for a woman... Gods! You really should see what old Tom looks like!" Vito pointed to Tom, the spearman captain, at another long table. The burly spearman captain was wiping his nose with a linen tablecloth.

"He almost cried! Because of your story!"

Tiberius rolled his eyes at Vito.

"I can refuse to hire someone, because it's a difficult task. All the sheriffs in Ries have been to Bloodwave Cape, but they all returned disappointed!" Jules said "passionately," but in reality, if anyone paid attention, they would have noticed that the corners of Jules' mouth were twitching, as if he was trying to suppress a laugh.

"But today, I'm willing to stake my name, 'The Keeper of Faith,' on Lord Lisandro, I will find your missing daughter!"

After Jules finished speaking, Lisanzhuo's face was covered with tears, and wet spots covered the hem of his clothes. This was the first time that the famous Reese banker had lost his composure in front of so many people.

"Thank you, Commander Jules, thank you..."

-----------------

"Tiberius, the scrolls you requested have arrived." The next morning, Tiberius was awakened by Vito and then saw a small mountain of parchment scrolls on the table.

"By the way, you'd better actually find Lisandro's daughter, Serafina." Vito's expression was somewhat subtle.

"In any case, Boss Jules has really staked his reputation on you. If you don't find it, it will be devastating for his reputation."

"And..." A subtle expression appeared on Vito's face.

"You're not planning to use some kind of... swamp magic to find those girls, are you?" Vito asked in a low voice. "Like the amulet your uncle gave me, it's ugly, but it really repels mosquitoes."

"Swamp magic? What's that?" Tiberius asked Vito, feigning confusion.

There was a skill called "Swamp Magic" in the previous skill list, but Tiberius had no idea what it was.

Today, when Vito brought it up, Tiberius wanted to take the opportunity to find out exactly what his skill was.

Judging from Vito's words... his uncle also knows witchcraft? And can even make amulets?

That's... unexpected!

Tiberius found it hard to imagine that his uncle Jules, who looked so upright and like a born "incorruptible one," was wearing a long robe and muttering incantations...

That scene was so beautiful!

"Okay, never mind. I thought you knew swamp magic..." Vito pouted.

Although Tiberius wanted to know more about witchcraft, he knew that the priority now was to solve the case and find Lisandro's daughter!

"By the way, Tiberius, can you read? Why are there so many files?" Vito complained.

Vito's question was very sharp, almost hitting Tiberius's weak spot, but Tiberius was unable to refute it.

Yes, the original owner was practically illiterate! All she knew was how to build up her strength, practice martial arts, and eat two ounces of beef every day...

Hmm, he's got the makings of a Liangshan hero. All that's missing is a drunken brawl with three bowls of baijiu to fight a man-eating tiger.

"Ahem, Vito, you can read it out for me, it makes the same sense..." Tiberius could only awkwardly ask Vito.

【ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh, transmigrated into a semi-literate body, and now I have to learn to read and write from scratch! Of course, if I successfully solve this case, it would be a great success story, wouldn't it?】 Tiberius comforted himself. 【Tiberius solves a major case by listening to the case file?】

Vito then began reading the dossier to Tiberius.

Three hours later...

"Vito, take notes. Most of the missing women have silver-blonde or red hair, and coincidentally..." Tiberius paused deliberately, then pointed to the files piled up on Lisandro's side.

"Serafina Rojaer, with silver-gold hair, a typical Rojaer."

"Lia Hein, Seraphina's companion, with red hair."

"And generally speaking, missing people are mostly in groups of two or three, and women or those with children are most likely to be attacked. Conversely, if there are enough people, such as five to eight, they are less likely to be attacked."

"So... what does this have to do with finding them?" Vito asked, taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, looking quite puzzled.

"Remember what I said about fishing, Vito?" Tiberius smiled mysteriously.
