Chapter 15: The Knights Who Were Robbed
"Cut, it turns out that he is just a straw bale who relies on nepotism, and dares to spread wild on my territory?" It turned out to be the brother-in-law of the Duke of Mountbatten, and Derek found that he might not be at odds with this Duke of Mountbatten, and he could meet him wherever he went.
"You can't kill me, I'm a nobleman, a tax collector sent by His Majesty the King to collect taxes!" cried the chief of the knights, crushed under his horse.
"Tax collector, why did you become such a miserable scene?" Hearing the other party report his home, Derek asked curiously, it stands to reason that this is the time when the tax collectors sent to various places will transport the tax money to the royal capital, and it is not strange to meet the tax collectors.
The strange thing is that although the arbitrary movements of this group of knights look like they are from the regular army, they look really miserable, all of them are gray-faced, almost everyone has colors on their bodies, and what is even stranger is that there is nothing on them except the horsewhip in their hands.
Generally speaking, the annual tax is divided into two parts, the tax handed over to the local lord is collected by the lord by arrangement, and the part handed over to the royal family is collected by the tax collectors leading the knight squadrons of the Praetorian Legion to each territory and escorted back to Beijing.
The number of people in this group is right, but they are covered with not to mention the taxes collected, and they don't even have wallets, as if they have just been ransacked.
"Actually, we just got robbed by a bunch of goblins who didn't just steal the taxes, they robbed us of everything. Another knight on his horse said ashamedly.
Goblins? Just a green-skinned wildling as short as a goblin and surrounded by a foul skin can rob a team of heavily armed knights?
"If you go to the front, you'll see that I'm not lying, we're about to go to Fort Collins for help from the Mjolnir, and I apologize to you on his behalf for my companion's offense?" The knight recognized the family crest on Derek's carriage at a glance and bowed.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling man, Derek waved his hand, and the knight dragged out the leader who was crushed under the horse with his companions, and prepared to leave.
Smack~ A whip sounded, and a bloody mark was drawn out of the knight leader's face, "You actually dare to hit me? My father didn't beat me......"
"This is for my servant, can you not leave? If you don't want to go, you don't have to go. "I didn't expect it to be so cool to whip people, do I have any tendency to shake S......?
The knight leader has always been spoiled by his family since he was a child, how could he have suffered this kind of grievance, and he had the intention to retaliate, but he couldn't beat it, so he had to stare at the resentful gaze unwillingly, as if he wanted to swallow Derek alive.
"You wait for me," the knight leader said a cruel word, pulled the knight next to him off his horse, stepped on the horse's head and walked away without looking back, muttering something to the adjutant beside him as he went.
After eating this trench, the knights became much more honest and left in an orderly manner.
Derek looked at the departing knights and asked the village chief suspiciously, "Mr. village chief, when did goblins start to appear around here?"
Whether it was the memories of his predecessor or the time since Derek crossed over, Rose Leader had never heard of the existence of a creature like Goblin in Rose Territory, and he couldn't help but feel strange.
"I don't know, maybe those tax collectors want to play some tricks like drifting? Young Master Rose, are you hungry?" the village chief said with an unnatural expression, "Kaka, go and inform everyone in the village, Young Master Rose is here, hold a banquet tonight, and let everyone take out the best things in the house!"
"Okay!" Hearing this, Kaka happily ran towards the village.
......
Early the next morning, Derek drove the carriage, and Sister Lina sat on the side, because of the banquet last night, Kaka and the goblin boy Harry were very drunk, and the little princess had read the comics all night, and Derek had to catch the car by himself.
"Sister Lina, I think something is wrong with the village chief. Derek said with some hesitation, always feeling that the village chief seemed to know something, deliberately concealing it, and had a feeling that some conspiracy was brewing, but he also felt that the old village chief would not do this.
Miss Lina is using magic to make black tea, and Derek has a habit of drinking a cup of black tea every morning to refresh himself, at first, he does it himself, until Miss Lina finds out and takes over the job.
Miss Lina replied as she poured the brewed black tea into the tea set, "Maybe you think too much, but the village chief of Vita is the old earl's personal soldier, and later when he is older, he was discharged from the army and returned to his hometown, and was elected by everyone to be the village chief. ”
"But...... Not...... It's hot. Before Derek could say anything, he was gagged by Miss Lina's black tea cup that was handed to his lips with her slender hand.
"Maybe it's for some other reason? Believe me, master, Chief Vita will never harm you. ”
"Well, I'm mainly worried that the goblins that have appeared recently will not have anything to do with the orcs, you know, every time the orcs invade, they drive the goblins to be cannon fodder. ”
Derek took a small sip of tea and thought: "The location of the Ross Collar is just on the road to the grassland, if the drought on the grassland is serious this year, he will definitely not let go of this piece of fat on the side of his mouth." ”
Miss Lina placed her hand on Derek's face and ran her fingertips lightly, and Derek's palm holding the reins immediately became nervously wet.
"Sister Lina......" Derek watched Miss Lina's face get closer and closer, nervously wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything, Sister Lina's whole body came up, and finally the whole person was buried in Derek's arms.
What should I do?!Do you want to kiss??Is it still a man if you don't kiss?Derek began to struggle violently inside, and his heartbeat became faster and faster. Speaking of Derrick two lives, but the sad thing is that both lives are singles, and they have never been so close to girls, let alone a peerless stunner like Miss Lina.
However, when Derek had just let go of the reins and finally made up his mind to open his hands and prepare to hug him, Sister Lina seemed to have calculated the time, but her body only left with a light touch, holding the cup that Derek had just drunk tea in her hand and smiled: "Does the master want another cup?"
Derek wanted to cry without tears, and said in frustration, "No...... Don't. "I didn't want to kiss me, Sister Lina, you tease me again......
Seeing Derek's face full of disappointment, Miss Lina chuckled, "Could it be that the master is expecting something?"
"No!" Derek quickly denied, but Miss Lina smiled even more.
However, at this moment, a tree on the side of the road in front of him suddenly fell and crossed the road, sealing the entire official road, and Derek hurriedly pulled the reins to stop the carriage.
"I planted this tree, I opened this road, and if you want to cross it, you can leave it to buy money. A short, green-headed figure burst out of the woods and shouted triumphantly.
PS: This tree is planted by me, this road is opened by me, if you want to pass from here, leave a recommendation vote~~~
