Marianne had been the voice of the Vitesse family for four years, and in the four years she had dealt with all sorts of people, and if there was one thing she could do to get rid of the most hated, the tax collector would be the best of them.

They were everywhere, in every city, every transportation artery, every wharf, and they were levied in many names and paid at will, not only on the products of the New World, but also on the things produced by the empire imported into the New World, and the most direct result was that the prices in the New World were much higher than those of the Empire.

A 40-livr paella in Port Mousse can fill an adult and includes plenty of prawns and mussels.

In the southern part of the New World, the same serving of paella costs 60 to 80 livres. A similarly high-quality fish steak sandwich with a thick soup in the central region costs 60 livres. In the north, Yorktown, the most prosperous city, costs 80 to 100 livres for a Castilian-style paella and 70 livres for a filling beef noodle.

As to whether the existence of the Imperial Tax Collector was justified, Marianne had probably doubted it, but never confirmed it as Jacques did.

- The New World's own country, as it sounds, is attractive.

- But what will I get? What will I pay for it?

"And what do you need me to do?" asked Marianne.

Jacques said unhurriedly: "Help me provide information about the escort team, and I'll do the things to save people."

When I rescue Martin and the others, if they want, help them arrange a place where they can live in peace. ”

Marianne nodded and said, "It's not difficult, our family's mines, rubber plantations, sugar cane plantations, and coffee plantations are all in small towns far away from the city, they can go there as security guards, as long as they are not in the city, I think they are still safe."

Of course, if they were exposed again, I wouldn't come to their rescue. ”

Jacques pointed outside and added, "And Garman." ”

"No problem, what are you going to do in exchange for my help?"

"I have a little money, but I don't think my silver coins will be of much use to you, so I think I owe you a favor, is there anything you need me to do for you?"

The corners of Marianne's mouth twitched, is this kid a naïve 18-year-old boy or a cunning 58-year-old liar?

- You can fool me into working for him for nothing!

- For my brother's sake, help him once.

"Deal!"

Jacques stretched out his right hand, Marianne shook it, and the agreement was established!

Then Jacques showed a mouthful of neat teeth again, and said with a smile: "We are going to leave today, and we are ready to prepare before the escort team, but the previous mercenaries and retinue are about to be dismissed, and it is inconvenient for me to do things with them."

I hastily hired a few people who didn't know the roots, and I was afraid that there would be problems on the road, so why don't you lend me a few guards with the strength of the Sculptors? It will also be convenient for us to pass on the news. ”

- Excessive!

Faced with this smiling and harmless face, Marianne wanted to be angry, but she couldn't get angry.

"My family is either an ordinary security guard or a grandmaster, and there are no mercenaries with the strength of the Shaper you hired before.

The Grandmaster also has to protect important industries, and there is only one in the Medis, and he has to protect this place. I didn't bring it to the street that day, otherwise I would have almost been kidnapped.

You can be given a few ordinary security guards, all of them transcendental, bring a harrier eagle and deliver news on the way. Marianne finally relented.

Jacques stood up, stretched out his right arm across the table and hugged Marianne gently, and said, "Thank you, Sister Marianne." Then I'll go and dismiss the mercenaries first. ”

Marianne peeked at Lily out of the corner of her eye while hugging, but saw Lily looking at Jacques with a smile on her face, not caring at all.

- These two people are so strange today, I teased Jacques a few days ago, and Lily would be jealous, why are you so calm today?

......

In the afternoon, the rebuilt team set off for Medis again.

Except for Jacques, Lily, and Garman, the entourage left Little Duane and the chef Kevin, and everyone else took a large amount of severance pay and found their own way.

Kevin, an extra chef, was left because he was going to York City to join his daughter, and he didn't want to take the severance pay to find a team to go to York City by himself, hoping to set off with Jacques's team, and everyone was used to his craft, so they brought it.

In addition to the original team, there are ten security guards of the West family, who are ordinary senior awakened people, with unified equipment, and even walking will naturally walk in two neat columns, and the big family really has a set of subordinate management.

While resting in the town near Medis that night, Dunst, the security guard in charge of delivering information, found Jacques with a letterhead sent through Harrier Eagle.

As soon as Marianne's eyes were dispatched, she quickly found out the composition of the escort team, the route, and the schedule of departure.

The escort team was led by a squad leader of the city guard, led by three teams of ten. In addition to the City Guard, there was also an officer from the Eleventh Legion, who appeared to be the one who had asked Mayor Lammons for assistance in apprehending the nameless Legionnaire.

Figuring out the departure time and route of the escort team, Jacques and Fat Orange discussed it and decided to rescue the nameless near Athabas, an indigenous Sioux settlement.

Athabas is right in the middle between Medis and York City, and it will take nearly ten days for the escort team to return to Edith at the earliest, reporting the news of the escape of Nameless and others.

These few days are enough time for Nameless and the others to go south safely and work incognito as security guards on the Wirther family's rubber plantation on the banks of the Cabbage River.

Jacques wrote a reply to Marianne, asking her to arrange for a rubber plantation on the banks of the Gansu River to receive the fugitive Nameless and others, and also attached a blueprint to be forwarded to Graves.

Over the next fourteen days, the team traveled eastward and arrived at Athabas ahead of schedule.

Five security guards with harrier eagles were left along the way, and they waited in the five towns where the escort must pass, and once the escort entered the city, the harrier eagles were released. At the behest of Dunster, the Awoken security guard of the Nature Department, the Harrier Eagles will fly eastward, searching for their master's location and eventually delivering information to Jacques.

Seeing these harrier eagles delivering information, Jacques remembered his friend Fabian and his macaw Louis I to X, as well as their plans to start a post office business at an early age.

......

"Ahh......h Ahh

Fabian, who was riding on his horse, rubbed his nose, looked at the mountains in the distant sky, and said, "Jacques must be talking about me! Natasha, our caravan is going too slowly, in case we arrive at Edith, Jacques and they have already set off for Yorktown." ”

Natasha's face hid behind the sunshade veil hanging from her wide-brimmed hat, and her tone seemed uncertain, and she said, "Probably not, they originally planned to go to York in ten months, and if they were in a hurry, it would only take about three or four months to arrive, so they must have been playing while walking." We'll probably have to wait for them in Medis for a few months. ”

Alisa also said: "Fabian, it's useless for you to be anxious now, it's good that the caravan can take us all the way in Natasha's father's face, don't complain and let the family hear." ”

Emma, who had turned back from the front of the procession, turned around and joined the three of them, and told everyone the news of the inquiry: "Mr. Joseph said that tomorrow we will arrive in Athabas, and the caravan will stay in Athabas for a week, run away customers, and clear some of the goods by the way. ”

"Stop again!" Fabian was in pain, too slow.
