Soon, the tax collector came to the city of North Wind, and Max was very anxious to hand over the collected grain, which was obviously not enough.

However, after Max described the difficult situation in the city of the north wind in detail, the tax collector just snorted coldly, said "this will not be allowed to happen again next time", and then left the city with the collected taxes.

For Max, who doesn't know the inside story yet, it's hard to believe. You know, the empire is very strict with its laws on taxation. Previously, Max had already planned in his heart, if the tax collector asked, he would take all the blame on himself, and he would not implicate the city of Aofeng Green.

However, after listening to Max's story, the tax collector did not mean to condemn him, which he did not understand at all.

Dylan knew very well in his heart that it must be that Roosevelt had already greeted the tax collector and asked him not to embarrass the North Wind City. After all, the evidence that he had mined the veins of the Shadow Demon Stone was still in Dylan's hands.

As for the tax shortfall, with Roosevelt's behavior, he would never let the people of Riptide City bear it, after all, he wanted to maintain his great image in the hearts of the people of Riptide.

Therefore, Roosevelt ended up paying out of his own pocket to fill the tax gap himself.

However, because of this, Roosevelt and the Green family will inevitably become mortal enemies. According to Dylan's understanding, a hypocrite like Roosevelt is often small-minded, and once someone offends him, then he will definitely hold a grudge and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.

Dylan knew very well that even if the tax issue was solved this time, blindly blackmailing Roosevelt was not a long-term solution. The most important thing to solve now is to help North Wind City find its own way out.

Dylan proposed his own opinion to his father, that is, to vigorously develop the casting technology, and sell the cast armor to several surrounding towns in exchange for equivalent food supplies.

After all, as a remote city in the northern part of the Garneman Empire, the City of the North Wind is surrounded by no fertile land suitable for growing a large number of crops, and relying on its own food output will definitely not meet the requirements of the empire's tax collection.

In this case, it is better to give full play to the advantages of North Wind City, and use the cast armor weapons to exchange with other towns in exchange for grain and grass, so that everyone can take what they need, which is naturally a win-win trade.

However, the lack of ore veins has also become a major problem in North Wind City. After all, the development of the foundry industry requires the consumption of a large amount of ore.

When Dylan was at a loss, a foundry made a suggestion to Dylan, but it was opposed by many people.

His suggestion was to get in touch with the Elder Elves to the west and establish trade with them.

"No! This is absolutely not going to work! The elves have a very bad relationship with us Terrans, and we take the initiative to contact them? Isn't that boring?"

"That's it, the ancient elves have always regarded themselves as noble, and in their eyes, our human race is a dirty and filthy race, an inferior race, and we are not worthy of associating with them!"

"Indeed, in the battle of slaying dragons more than ten years ago, our Garneman Empire also asked for help from them, but they ruthlessly refused. It's impossible to trade with them today. ”

However, there are very few people who support this proposal.

"We can't solve the problem of ore veins right now, and it is rumored that the ancient forest is rich in products, and there are countless ore veins, so this suggestion is worth trying!"

Dylan saw that the foundries were divided into two factions and began to quarrel, and he quickly left this place of right and wrong, and walked towards the castle.

Dylan also needs to consult with his father about this.

.....

After listening to Dylan's account, Ao Feng fell into a long silence, and after a long time he said, "Regardless of whether this suggestion is feasible or not, if you want to contact the Ancient Elves, you first need to get permission from the Empire. ”

Dylan was slightly stunned: "Do you need the empire to agree to this matter?"

Ao Feng nodded and said, "Yes." The Elder Elves have always been very unfriendly to us Terrans. As you know, the Elder Elves consider themselves a superior race, believing in nature and in Elune, the god of moonlight. In their view, we Terrans will only destroy nature and defile everything it has given us. So, because of this, they see us as a filthy and lowly race. ”

"Not to mention whether the Empire agrees with you to contact the Ancient Elves, even if you do, it will be difficult for you to reach a consensus with the Elves, because their contempt and contempt for us have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and this is a fact that is difficult to change. So, do you still insist on trying?"

Dylan still nodded: "Well, I've already decided, before I return to Warcraft Mountain, I must do something for the future of North Wind City!"

Ao Feng smiled with relief: "Actually, you have already done a lot for North Wind City!"

Dylan shook his head, "It's not enough! Far from enough! That day, when I saw the house where Jenny and the others lived, I thought, is it that our Green family owes them too much?"

Ao Feng couldn't help but smile helplessly: "These are all things I should be responsible for, it was true that I didn't do well enough before, and I didn't know the real life of civilians enough." Now that I'm aware of this, I'm going to change and you don't have to worry too much. ”

Dylan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when his father said this, how could he inexplicably feel like a son teaching his father? It's really awkward.

"Father, it's only been ten days since I returned to the Legion, is there a way to ask the Empire for instructions in the first place?"

Ao Feng frowned and said, "Yes, yes, yes, but that little guy is very wild, and I don't know if I can call it back." ”

Dylan looked dazed, not knowing what his father meant by "little one".

"Let's go and let me meet an old friend of mine. You'll be dealing with it sooner or later, so let's see each other this time and get acquainted with each other first. After saying that, Ao Feng walked towards the highest point of the castle.

Dylan was puzzled, but he quickly followed, and followed his father to a high wall in the castle.

Feeling the refreshing spring breeze coming to his face, Dylan couldn't help but feel a little dazed. When Dylan was a child, he loved to run to this high wall and play, always staring at the birds in the sky, hoping that one day he could fly freely in the sky.

Now standing on this high wall again, Dylan can't help but admire, everything is unpredictable, the previous dream has been realized so quickly.

Not only does he now possess a sixth-level demonic beast, the Blue Wind Dragon, but he also has the dragon crystal of the demon dragon, both of which can allow him to realize his dream of flying.
