Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord
Chapter 87 Taxation and Conscription
Harvey was woken up by Reiner early in the morning and handed him two letters sealed with varnish.
This was a letter sent by the spell messenger, which Harvey felt a little strange.
The only person who can still use magic messengers to send letters to him is Ash, a former colleague of Alaye's academy.
But this guy wrote a letter half a year ago to tell Harvey that he was about to be sent to the battlefield of the Evil Moon Mountains for a six-month garrison mission, and would not write to him for a long time.
Harvey carefully identified the lacquer seal on the envelope and found that it was from the Federation and Grizzly Castle respectively.
"How come they suddenly remembered to send a letter to a necromancer? Could it be that something happened there?"
Harvey got up from the bed in his soft and thick nightgown and sat on the small desk in the living room and opened the envelope.
There was actually not much difference in the contents of the two letters. Harvey felt furious after a rough glance.
His pioneering order was obtained from the lord of Grizzly Castle Earl Fagen. Since the territory is outside the border of St. Valen, he did not spend a penny to go through. He was only nominally under the jurisdiction of the Count of Grizzly Leader. .
But now, Earl Fagen, who had never met before, suddenly asked the territory tax officer to write to him, and clearly stated that from the beginning of spring next year, Harvey would need to formally pay territorial taxes to the kingdom.
"Didn't the Kingdom Act agree that the pioneering leader can exempt taxes for five years?" Harvey threw down the letter in anger and picked up the letter from the Federation.
The content is roughly the same, and the roughly means that the countries in the Southern Continent have invested a lot of troops and money and participated in the war between the two tribes in the Evil Moon Mountains, resulting in the kingdom's financial tightness and lack of taxes. Therefore, the previous tax exemption policy does not count now and it is time to pay. The amount must be paid in full.
Harvey sighed, clenching his eyebrows and clearly the problem lies in the factional discrimination within the Federation.
Any fief lord who has both the identity of a spell caster and a noble will actually be more or less preferential and protected by the Federation to a certain extent.
This advantage is often reflected in tax relief. Harvey remembers that there were several spellcasters in the Earl Fagen family in the Grizzly Bears who were members of the Federation. They participated in the garrison battle of the Evil Moon Mountains, so the Principality was taxed. During the recruitment matters, Earl Fegan's family has always been favored.
Harvey is different. The official membership of the Federation is true, but unfortunately, the necromancer whom does not love her father and mother do not love her. She has been discriminated against in many ways on the surface. Now she is facing the taxation problem that changes every day. I will not take the initiative to solve the problem for him.
But what made him angry was that it would be fine if he didn't stand up for him. The Union branch of St. Valen was even more shameless than Earl of Fagan. Knowing that he was a research-based spellcaster, he actually proposed to help the mage. He went to the Evil Moon Mountains to assist the combat mage and completed a three-month garrison mission!
"I am a necromancer. How can I assist a combat mage? Do you pull a few zombies to beat his legs and wash his feet?"
The more Harvey thought about it, the more angry he became. The experience of false accusation by Burco, an investigator in Jackdaw, last time, came back to his mind. The general association who was sent to Daes was investigated, except for one letter from the general association. In addition to the perfunctory apology letter, Harvey has not received any follow-up news.
Most of the time, it is the result of taking the form and taking three glasses of wine.
Harvey felt a little uneasy when he remembered that he did not take the initiative to report the Federation to change its member information after he was promoted to the intermediate caster.
He was not afraid of the random taxation of ordinary nobles like Earl Fagen. His fief was outside the border. Even if he dared to send tax collectors to come and put pressure on his face, Harvey didn't even have to use soldiers, just a few The wolf spider beast can make them lose their appetite.
But the Federation is different. As far as Harvey knows, apart from the more than ten spellcasters in the Jackdaw Town branch, more than fifty combat spellcasters were stationed in the Duke of St. Valen alone. This is just a clear idea The power on the surface is shown, in order to suppress the power of the church, the Federation should have many hidden identities and combat mages disguised as research-type spellcasters.
Harvey can never afford to offend such a behemoth like the Federation.
Moreover, if the various prohibited inventions and super weapons that he created in his territory are leaked, they may immediately attract a comprehensive investigation from the Federation.
Originally, as long as Harvey had enough time to develop three to five years, he was fully confident that he could start a business in the northern wasteland, an independent force that could compete with the surrounding fiefdom nobles and the federation branches.
"We have to think of a way to fool this matter smoothly and give yourself enough time to develop..."
...
Fran McCorlin now likes to sneak back home from the Federation's office whenever he has free time and spends a lot of time in the Magic Net caster forum.
Everyone in this forum is a talent in the world of spellcasters, and he speaks nicely.
Even if you don't have academic exchanges and discussions, just chatting about some interesting gossips between spellcasters, it is much happier than dealing with the piles of documents and files in the Federation's affairs department.
When he entered his forum code with great enthusiasm, he just logged into the Shangmo Net forum and received a separate message from a strange member.
[Kelthuzad: Is Mr. Falun currently here? I have something to ask you...]
Fran frowned in confusion. This strange member seemed to seldom speak in the forum, and had never communicated with him. However, according to Brother Quinn, he was a wild alchemist independent of the Alchemy Exploration Society, and he was sincere and focused on research.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum!
Since he was a friendly identity certified by Brother Quinn, and one of the first casters invited in the forum, Fran naturally could not be too indifferent and rude.
[Magic Shield: Hello, I just logged in, please tell me if you need any help. ]
The other party's silver code name flashed several times, indicating that the message was being replied.
[Kel'Thuzad: First of all, please forgive my presumption. I accidentally learned from Mr. Mirror Man that you have a certain cooperative relationship with the member in charge of magic affairs management in the Federation, so I would like to ask you for a small favor...]
When Fran saw the first few lines, his heart was immediately alarmed. Damn Brother Quinn, how could he be so talkative that he almost exposed his true identity.
Fortunately, they only revealed that they had a cooperative relationship with the Federation, and did not directly disclose the fact that they were internal officials of the Federation. Otherwise, Fran would have to go to the door and beat up these two fools immediately, and then quickly cancel his account on the forum and run away.
Fran has joined the forum for some time. Whether participating in online transactions or conducting academic exchanges, everything went very smoothly, and there was no exposure of his identity.
This is enough to show that the forum has no problem with information anonymity.
He thought for a moment, and then slowly began to reply to the other party.
[Fa Shield: It is indeed a bit presumptuous, but if it is an emergency, it is understandable. First tell me the reason why you need help, and I will consider whether I can provide help. ]
