Chapter 381

"The entry fee is ten coppers." At the entrance of a somewhat dilapidated city, more than 20 soldiers stood behind the barricades and charged every adventurer, civilian and caravan who entered the city.

"Huh? That's all?" A soldier rummaged through a pile of furs on a hunter's back with a look of impatience. This was an ordinary hunter from the surrounding villages, hunting some ordinary beasts and selling furs To make a living, but these things are not worth a lot of money, so naturally there is not much oil and water on him.

"Lord Knight, I'm just going into the city to sell these furs." Fighting beasts in the wilderness is to feed a family of hunters and laugh with the soldiers guarding the city. He has already paid ten coppers for the city entry fee. , but the soldier just wouldn't let it go, and wanted to get something out of him.

"Poor ghost." The soldier who found that the hunter really had nothing of value scolded in a low voice, and then took out a good-looking gray fox fur from the hunter's back, tied it around his waist, and finally placed it impatiently. He waved his hand: "Go in!"

"Thank you, sir!" There were still three animal claw marks on his face, which had already broken his appearance. The hunter, who seemed to be extremely sturdy, accompanied his smiling face and walked into the city with a grateful face.

Being so exploited by the guards of the city, even if he was full of anger, he could only hold it back. He was just an ordinary hunter with a stronger body. The choice of a middle-aged man who shoulders a heavy burden, he is not qualified to be willful.

"Next!" The defending soldiers with gray fox skins tied around their waists shouted weakly after sending the hunters away. They were all mud legs who couldn't get much oil and some low-level adventurers.

The commoners who enter the city are all selling some herbs, furs, etc., and there is nothing to extort, and those low-level adventurers can charge them ten coppers for entering the city.

But if you want to use the spoils of life they fought against monsters, these guys who lick blood from the knife edge, don't mind fighting their lives with these soldiers.

Therefore, the only people who can really extort the soldiers are the caravans that come and go. The caravans that come to their city are small caravans with little background, and they are the best targets of exploitation by the soldiers guarding the city. ...

"Why do they only need ten coppers per person to enter the city, and my caravan needs one person and one silver to enter the city?" A thin businessman shouted angrily, "The last time I entered the city, I also I paid ten copper coins, why are there so many more this time?"

"Hey, that was half a month ago. The lord said that merchants make more money than commoners, and they should pay more to enter the city than those mud legs."

The soldier guarding the city smiled unscrupulously, "This is a new order from the lord. If you have any opinions, you can go to the lord, but the premise is that you must pay the entrance fee first."

"What is the entrance fee? Half a month ago, the newly appointed ruling Archduke of Morea in the kingdom ordered the abolition of all the laws and tax orders privately set by the noble lords, and the lords have no right to collect all taxes that are not in the laws of the kingdom."

The emaciated businessman stood at the city gate, impassionedly talking about the new tax law promulgated by Morea,

"In the laws of the Rockman Kingdom, there is no entry fee. The lords of the surrounding cities have all cancelled the entry fee, everyone can travel freely, and no one will charge a fee.

Why do your lords charge entry fees? Even dare to ignore the orders of the great Archduke Morea, does your lord want to rebel? "

"Don't talk to me about this." The sergeant major of the soldier who was guarding the city glared and slashed in front of the merchant with the heavy sword in his hand. pain.

"I don't know any new tax laws. I only know that the lord said that you have to pay taxes when you enter the city. You can either pay the money to enter the city, or take your people to get out of here."

"Don't know the new tax law, don't you know the Grand Duke of Morea Regent?" The skinny businessman asked again.

"..." This time,

The sergeant chief who defended the city was silent. Now in the entire Rockman Kingdom, except for the village bumpkins in those villages, who could not know the existence of Morea. Obviously, if he doesn't know Morea's nonsense, he can't say it.

"Grand Duke Morea has abolished the lord's legislative power and the right to private tax laws. According to the laws of the kingdom, you have no right to charge me even a copper for entering the city."

"I told you, don't talk about it, I don't know. Enter the city and pay the money, this is the order of the lord." The sergeant major who was suppressed by the businessman one after another and seemed a little guilty, a little embarrassed and angry, picked up the hand and took it with him The epee in the scabbard slammed into the businessman.

"Presumptuous!" Before the epee with the scabbard fell on the thin businessman, a hand stretched out beside him and grabbed the epee directly. Then, in the terrified eyes of the sergeant major, he regarded the epee as a treasure. He was twisted and deformed by this heavily armored palm, with its scabbard attached, and his sword turned into scrap iron.

"Who are you?" This time, the sergeant major knew that he was in big trouble. Although his heavy sword was not a top weapon.

However, during the casting process, some extraordinary metal ore powder was added, and ordinary fine steel weapons would be cut off if they were to be slashed. He is not frightened.

"My lord, the evidence is conclusive. The lords here did not obey the decree issued by the great Archduke Morea, nor did they implement the new tax law. Instead, they were even more aggressive than before, exploiting us even more frantically. Please arrest them."

"Yeah!" The strong man who squeezed the epee into shape and wore a pair of simple full-body armor nodded, agreeing with the businessman who took the initiative to cooperate with him in the investigation.

"Who the hell are you?" Seeing the somewhat familiar armor on the strong man, the sergeant major of the city guard unconsciously took a few steps back and asked in a little panic, where did he seem to have seen this set Armor.

"On the order of His Royal Highness, the ruling Grand Duke, Morea, come to arrest the rebellious nobles." The strong man answered in a stern voice as he walked towards the city.

As he walked, his size became bigger and bigger, and along with his size, there was also the armor. When he moved, because there was no perfectly sealed armor, the sergeant major was already slumped on the ground in shock. I saw the pure white complexion of this giant.

"Cloud Giant! Legion directly under the ruling Grand Duke."

This time, the sergeant finally understood why he looked familiar to the armor.
