565, Tyrant Alexander
After a moment of silence, the people in the bar quickly resumed their uproar.
Alcohol can be a temporary forgetfulness of sorrow for the toiling men, and though they are worried about what the upcoming noble lord Babbel will bring, and even a few pitiful copper coins in their pockets, the men do not mind a pint of frothy beer and a drink at this time.
Jenny, the bar's only maid, and the fat proprietress shuttle through the crowd to deliver crude ale, and the two mediocre women walk up and twist their fat buttocks, which soon become the talk of the men again when they are fighting for wine without scruples, someone reaches out and gently squeezes Jenny's ass, and in the exaggerated screams of this freckled little chubby girl, the men in the room burst into laughter.
It's a typical agriturismo town pub.
This is also the typical way of life of the serfs in a small farm town.
Some people can't help but sneak a look at the five strangers in the corner of the window, of course, the most important thing is to take a look at the beautiful and pure girl among the five people like a mutton fat white jade porcelain doll, such a beautiful and pure girl, just like the heavenly goddess in the mouth of the bard, even those elderly uncles, secretly glance at it will can't help blushing and heartbeat, it is a kind of beauty that simply breaks through the limit of their imagination, pure and noble, not eating the fireworks of the world, so that they can't even have a trace of blasphemy。
Compared with such a girl, many people in Karen Town regard her as the wife of Lord Babel, who is lustful in her dreams, and she is like a beggar woman on the side of the road standing next to the noble royal princess.
Someone was whispering about the origin and identity of the five strangers, but no one dared to go up and talk.
"Hmm, it's interesting, I like this kind of atmosphere......" Sun Fei sat under the window, turning his head to see the bright and beautiful stars in the blue night sky outside the window, this chaotic atmosphere of the country tavern reminded him of the decadent time of college life in his previous life, after the end of the game time every day, and a group of fox friends and dog friends ate gutter oil barbecue on the side of the road outside the school at twelve o'clock at midnight.
I don't know what's going on, Sun Fei finds himself getting more and more nostalgic.
Maybe it's because I'm settling down in this world and taking root, and a lot of memories from my previous life are slowly fading away bit by bit, so I instinctively want to keep something.
Angela obviously hadn't seen this kind of atmosphere, but the girl was not disgusted, the only thing that made her uncomfortable was the smell of smoke and foot odor in the air, she leaned towards Sun Fei's side like a well-behaved cat, and subconsciously sniffled the cute Qiong nose.
The charm of a girl is immense.
Her subconscious action made the men at several tables nearby quickly pinch out the cigarette butts in their hands, and put the black-footed girl who had been unscrupulously released from the old cowhide boots back into the boots.
Torres sat on Sun Fei's left hand, slightly sideways, his sharp eyes scanning everyone in the tavern to determine whether they were a threat or not, even the few yellow-skinned and skinny people who were shuttling among the men, wrapped only in a wide linen blanket and a small amount of clothing, and were soliciting guests, did not let go of the poor warblin - although the blonde boy clearly knew that His Majesty the King was powerful, and there should be no people who could threaten Sun Fei in this kind of town, but out of the instinct of close guards, he still maintained enough vigilance.
Divine Master Garcia and Divine Knight Alan sat opposite Sun Fei.
Garcia was born in poverty, and had been tempered by the hard life of a declining sect branch like the Black-clothed Temple, and he was completely accustomed to such a small bar, and sat quietly in peace, and even greeted the fat maid Jenny very familiarly, and helped Sun Fei and the four of them order a salted bean, a glass of sour home-brewed ale, and a few pieces of earthy and earthy multigrain bread.
At this moment, there was a sudden slam, and then the dilapidated wooden door creaked and squeaked, and it was kicked open.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and a swaggering figure appeared at the door, more than two meters tall, dressed in decent light leather armor, bald head, ** arms and wrists, holding two wrist rings with steel nails, he glanced around the bar with a hideous face, and the corners of his mouth drew a smug arc, and he was very satisfied with the scene where everyone in the bar suddenly became silent and looked at him with awe.
Then, he turned, changed his flattering smile for that moment, bent down, and made a gesture of please.
A middle-aged man in brocade with a soft and pale complexion and a slightly thin brocade walked in, his arm holding a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup and a slight posture, and her plump figure looked slightly bloated because of her age, a jeweled but more vulgar, the moment the two stepped into the bar, there was a clear expression of disgust on their faces, and they all pulled out a white handkerchief in their arms and covered their noses, obviously very repulsive to the dirty air here.
This middle-aged man with a soft and thin face is the master of Karen Town, the only noble lord in the town, the eldest lord who can decide the life and death of any serf in the town, Ryan Babbel, the former nobleman of the Black Rock royal family, and the slightly plump woman is his woman Kelly, with a strong and hideous bald head, and is the chief of guard Dick of my noble lord.
"The reason for summoning everyone here, I think you all know, this year's spring ploughing is about to begin, according to the tradition of Karen Town, from tomorrow, the land will be apportioned, and the wheat seeds will be sold, and you all know, now the entire Black Rock Country has been rewarded by His Majesty the Great Empire to His Majesty Alexander of Chambord City, so the previous rules must be changed. ”
Slowly walked to the only table in the middle of the bar that looked clean and clean, the little maid Jenny hurriedly came over and wiped it with the cleanest tablecloth, and the noble lady Kelly pinched her nose and sat down, and Master Babbel kept standing, in a tone that was not in a hurry, not high, not low, but absolutely unquestionably provocative, her eyes scanned the expressions of the people around her, and said slowly.
"According to the new decree issued by His Majesty Alexander of Chambord, this year's tax will be added to the original tax of spring seedlings, fair tax and war tax, which shall be levied according to the capitation, and each tax shall be one silver coin per person......
Before Babbel could finish his words, the whole bar suddenly screamed and claimed to be a piece of air, and almost exploded.
"The gods are above, and three taxes are added?
"One silver coin per person? Lao Tzu can only earn five or six silver coins after a year of hard work, which is not enough for me to pay my own taxes, what do we eat and what do we wear? I can't live!"
"Damn Alexander, King of Chambord, is he here to kill us?"
"I can't live anymore, I really can't live anymore, fair tax, war tax? Where else is there any fairness in this, war or something, it's our business, we don't have a war ...... here."
"Just let the Ajax call and forget it, maybe we will still have a full bite to eat by then!"
"Tyrant Alexander, I curse you!"
Although this day of the year is a day of anxiety and pain for the serfs, knowing that those high-ranking nobles and lords above will never be willing to squeeze themselves clean, but when they hear that the new year will be ruthlessly taxed so heavily, the anger that people suppressed in their hearts still broke out.
In the whole bar, there was a sudden sound of angry scolding and noise.
The table leaning against the window changed, facing the slightly surprised inquiring gazes of Angela, Garcia and the others, Sun Fei shrugged: "Don't look at me, I have never given such an order, and I don't think Uncle Best and Brooke will make such a decision." ”
"Be quiet, be quiet!" said Master Babbel dissatisfied, knocking on the table.
The tall bald guard beside him glanced around with wolf-like eyes, clenched a pair of fists and made a crunchy sound of rattling joints, a fierce momentum erupted, and a punch slammed on a wooden pillar beside him, the dust on the roof fell down, and a trace of fear flashed on the faces of the serfs, and then it quieted down a little.
They have no power and no power, and they don't seem to be able to do anything other than anger.
"You know, Your Majesty Alexander, you are fighting the Ajax people on the battlefield ahead, in order to defend our homeland, each of us must contribute our own strength, if the military budget is not guaranteed, the army is defeated, the scimitar of the murderous Ajax sandman will not be as good as me, they will kill all the men, insult all the women, and turn this place into a hell full of bones and scorched earth! Speaking of this, Babbel paused, seeing that he had succeeded in extinguishing the resistance in the eyes of the poor insects, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "In addition to the additional taxes, the rent of the land will also increase three times this year, and at the same time, the price of wheat seeds will increase by three times, and all of them will be paid within ten days, if you can't do it, hehe, you won't get the land to cultivate, and you won't get the wheat seeds......"
Before the words fell, the whole bar exploded uncontrollably.
"What? It can't be, we don't have that much money at all......"
"How so? It can't be? Damn it, tyrant, damn tyrant, who's going to save us, it's not going to keep us alive at all!"
"We'd rather go back to the rule of the Black Rock royal family, the damned King of the Chambords, who doesn't care if we live or die, let them get out of the town of Karen, Alexander is a vampire, a greedy demon!"
"Chambord people, get out of Karen Town, get out of Black Rock Country!"
The angry crowd banged on the table, some people even had their iron sheets in their hands pinched, and the curses and curses almost flew all over the roof first, and the air was like a gasoline splash, and a small spark would ignite and explode, and what Babbel said really broke through the bottom line of the poor worms, and if this number was calculated, there would be almost no one in the entire town of Karen to plant.
"I sympathize with what happened to you, but there is no way, this is the decision of Alexander the King of Chambord, and no one can resist. ”
The angry people, under the slightly deliberate guidance of Lord Babbel, ignited their anger on Chambord City.
When some serfs shouted the words 'Alexander is the devil', Torres stood up with a loud noise, holding the longbow in his hand, but Sun Fei nodded thoughtfully and motioned for his guard officer to sit down, obviously realizing something.
That's when —
"You lie, Your Majesty Alexander, you have never signed such a ridiculous order at all!"
In the crowd, a young man suddenly stood up and retorted loudly.
