hero destiny

On the continent of Enfas, only cities that serve as business distribution centers have enough consumer population. Therefore, in order to maintain the sound development of the city, the nobles and lords of all parties will more or less charge part of the merchants who enter the city to do business. The city entry tax is used to offset the insufficient tax revenue in the territory.

Now Redding met the tax collector of Kleinsus, a middle-aged man with sallow complexion and soft eyes.

"Two pack horses, tax ten silver!" The voice was cold and lifeless, without a trace of emotion.

"My lord, my draft horses are not goods, they are just means of transportation, those dry alfalfa are goods!"

Sid, who was walking in front of Redding, said anxiously, God is so pitiful, he pawned all his family property, and only then did he have this business trip to the south, and now he only has three coins left in his pocket. You know, his family is still looking forward to it, hoping that he can sell the alfalfa fodder in exchange for some edible grain to make ends meet.

"Dried alfalfa? How do I know that it's not the food you bring to the pack horses? That's the tax rate in the kingdom. If you have any objections, you don't have to go to the city!" The tax collector waved his hand at the poor man with disgust, and then Signaled Ledding to follow up.

"Your Excellency, I will pay his share of the tax!" Ledin felt that Sid was not bad, and from his malnourished face, he could tell how bad the economic situation was. He chatted along the way to relieve boredom. For his sake, he patted the embarrassed Sid and motioned him to go into the city first.

"Hey, there is actually a rich owner here! Look, it's actually a heavy Kodo beast, here, a city entry tax of one gold coin! Wait, what is that. My boy, it smells like an alchemy potion. Let me check it carefully... Well, tax collection of fifteen gold coins, plus the Kodo beast and the two pack horses just now, please pay sixteen gold and ten silver coins!" The tax collector's eyes narrowed, and he had been busy for a long time today Finally, let him catch a fat sheep.

"Why is it so expensive? Kodos are beasts of burden. How can you add beasts of burden after you calculate the tax on goods?" Shari was dissatisfied. Research questions about these tax rates.Met a professional counterpart.The half-elf lady who was serious about her work immediately wanted to settle the matter with the tax collector.

Ledding originally wanted to stop Sha Rui's naive behavior, but his upright sister Jennifer followed her up. Viscount Kingfisher pointed to the goods on the Kodo and said, "Alchemy potions are tax-extracting. It should be as much as fifteen gold coins, but we are a caravan from Thunder Port, and according to the tax rate within the county, the tax on these goods is only three gold coins at most."

"What? You bastards, do you actually want to evade taxes in front of Mr. Kano? Guards! Guards!" Kano, the tax collector, saw that the fat sheep dared to resist. The merchants from the Northland were arrested and imprisoned. Then this valuable Kodo beast and those war supplies that were in short supply.There is a great chance of falling into his hands.

In the blink of an eye, twenty city gate guards gathered around. Although their swords had not been unsheathed, the high-spirited fighting spirit that was unique to civilian merchants was revealed on this group of soldiers who looked more like local ruffians.

It's a pity that in front of the three powerful aristocrats of the gold rank, this kind of coercive effect on the common people is always harmful.For nothing.

"What do you mean? Doesn't the order of the Stormwind Kingdom no longer exist?" After receiving such an answer, Shari, who was always good-tempered, had a slight mood swing.

"The order and law of the kingdom was established to punish you guys who try to evade taxes!" Kano felt that there was something to be done, as long as these traders dared to insult him, or became angry and violent, then he would have Without the rhetoric of using the city guards, it was the turn of these outsiders to pay a heavy price.

"Huh? How dare you turn black and white?" The jealous Jennifer has already pressed her hand on the hilt of her sword. She has never played any role-playing games, so she naturally doesn't know how it will be when civilians are exploited by these petty officials. Resentment and helplessness.

Since most merchants have to walk through the wild, it is quite normal to hold a sword and sword. In fact, the combat effectiveness of merchants is even higher than that of ordinary mercenaries. After all, merchants are still a bit stronger than mercenaries. If you have money, you can naturally learn some martial arts or magic to save your life.

Seeing Jennifer's appearance, Kano was very excited, and he was about to add another fire to make the grumpy and beautiful businesswoman pull out the saber hanging from her waist—of course, if he knew In front of him was a genuine gold-ranked swordsman with the title of Viscount. I'm afraid I would kill him, but I wouldn't dare to have such a crazy idea.

"Do you still dare to attack Lord Kano, who is the most just in Kleinsus?" Kano, who didn't know that his life was hanging by a thread, continued to tease Jennifer's anger with provocative words.

Maybe it was the blessing from the dragon god, and at the moment when the little guy was about to face the terrible anger, the guy who disrupted the situation appeared!

Suddenly, a soft male voice came out of the entrance passage dedicated to the nobles on the side: "Hey, there are alchemy potions here. It seems that today's luck is good. Guards, go and confiscate all the controlled materials! Your kindness!" Lord Yaer, I will never let the untouchables suffer, the ugly woman quickly take these compensation fees and thank me Dade!"

Five bright red copper coins swirled and landed in front of Jennifer's eyes, and more than a dozen guys dressed as private soldiers of nobles rushed towards Leiding's temporary props like wolves and tigers - the frightened old man The Kodo beast immediately cast a pleading look at the owner who cast the repairing water spell on it.

"Bastard!" Jennifer, who felt insulted, had already drawn out her sword before Laidin could make a move.

The golden luster shone like the sun, and the dreamlike sword shadow shrouded the body of the Kodo beast. The guards of the city gate of Kleinsus, including Kano, only felt a blur before their eyes, and saw Those noble private soldiers who rushed up to snatch the supplies, were crushed out resolutely and gorgeously as if they had bumped into a Kodo beast running wildly.

Jin Zhijie's sword energy suddenly merged into a bunch, and pierced towards the guy who ordered to rob the supplies!

At this time, a rescuer suddenly jumped out from the aristocratic passageway at the north gate of Kleensus. After hearing a jingle, the female knight in white helmet and white armor flew upside down She escaped, but the master she protected escaped with her life.

"There are assassins! Guards! Guards!" Amid Viscount Yar's tragic exclamation, dozens of vassals and knights surrounded him, and the fighting spirit of the silver rank erupted, and a big battle was about to take place.

At this time, Kano, who was stunned, finally came to his senses. He immediately fled into the city gate, thanking the Dragon God for his protection. In front of the strong man of the highest level, he swaggered for a long time, and more importantly, he survived safely in the end-in fact, Jennifer's soaring sword just now left a terrifying mark in Kano's heart , he might be haunted by nightmares for the rest of his life.

"Hmph, what a waste!" Jennifer said disdainfully, the sword she just wanted to cut off the other party's hair, but such a big fight and the behavior of the hypocritical nobleman hiding behind the entourage made him She is full of disdain.

"Who are you?" A burly man wrapped in a thick battle armor came out, his body was glowing with golden luster.

The strength of the gold class is generally recognized by members of the aristocratic system as a baron with a sword. Professionals with this kind of personal strength will also receive due respect from the aristocratic class. On the continent of Enfas, it is difficult for ordinary people to step into the golden rank. Therefore, before finding out who Jennifer was, no one dared to attack her brazenly.

"Kun Wu, catch that woman for me, I want her to taste that life is worse than death!" Viscount Yar finally recovered his senses, and when he saw the captain of the guard appearing in person, he immediately resumed his previous arrogance.

Viscount Yar is the only legitimate son of Duke Lev, but he is nearly forty years old, but he has not yet reached the threshold of the golden rank. This weak personal strength makes him directly lose the possibility of competing for the title of duke.

However, Viscount Yar, who is backed by his mother, doesn't care about the duke's title, because he doesn't have much ambition and strength at all. His biggest skill in the past is to play some strong buying and selling in the territory, bullying male bullies It's just a female trick.And this time, Viscount Yar came to Kleinsus because he was greedy for the wealth of the magic crystal mine and wanted to occupy a mine vein on the Gron Hills.

"Life is better than death? Are your threats and insults intended to provoke a war with Kingfisher?" Jennifer, who was killed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, was naturally extremely tough on the weak family children.

"War? Haha, I'm the great Viscount Jiaoshan, are you qualified to be my opponent?" Yar Lev, the Viscount Jiaoshan, looked at Jennifer with a playful attitude, showing no doubt that he was mocking.

"Viscount Kingfisher? You are just a third-rate noble lord in a remote area, so you are waiting to die!" Captain Kun Wu heard Jennifer's background and family background, and immediately pulled out his long sword with disdain, but In the next moment, he felt a sense of freezing around his body.

"Is this the power of spells? No, they have archmages accompanying them! Teacher Lolorami, come and help me!" Yar, who is not strong himself, when he encounters a strong enemy, his first reaction is Get help.

Suddenly, inside the north gate of Kleensus, there was a brief confrontation between the blue and white frost pattern and the bright red and bright yellow flame power. After the dull crackling sound, a middle-aged man holding a crystal staff The mage came out from behind Yar, and there was a very unusual eye on his forehead.

"The Eye of Chaos? The third eye that claims to be able to see through the rules of the elements!" Ledding walked out with a solemn expression. (To be continued..)
