For the return of Baron Terry, Wu Ming also remembers it vividly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because I heard that the Baroness had paid a large ransom to Viscount Garcia.

And a lot of this ransom was transferred to the people of Barony Terry.

Even William was extorted by the tax collector with two silver thalers.

"If so...... The Wind Firefly Plains, finally calmed down again? ”

Wu Ming asked softly.

"As an outsider, Viscount Garcia has finally been accepted by the blue-blooded nobles, but how to say it...... As long as people continue to exist, the struggle will not end! ”

After drinking, Rorien was obviously very open.

'Outsiders? ’

Wu Ming is very sensitive to this.

After several months of exploration, he also knew some things about the Wind Firefly Plain.

Most of the nobles here can be traced back to the time of Thaler the Conqueror, who more or less have his blood in their bodies, and call themselves 'blue-blooded nobles'.

Their leader is none other than the Earl of the Blue Mountains.

As a foreign nobleman, although Viscount Garcia also has noble blood from the highlands, he is obviously not accepted by the stubborn and xenophobic blue bloods.

However, through this war, presumably those blue-blooded nobles will also begin to re-recognize the energy of this viscount.

After the war, the Viscount Garcia also married one of the daughters of the Earl of the Blue Mountains, which was the beginning of acceptance...... And all the nobles who participated in the war, not even a single lord died, and the only ones who died were only a few knights...... This is the rule of the game of the nobility of this world......

Wu Ming thought silently, and made a little more determination about his future.

You must become a nobleman and join the rules of the game!

Recognize the rules, use the rules, break the rules, and re-establish the rules!

This is a path that will inevitably go through as strength rises, and now Wu Ming is walking on such a road.

Seeing that Wu Ming was not obviously disappointed, Rorian was even more surprised.

Such a talented, scheming, and patient young man, the gods will give him a chance.

Therefore, he said slowly in a deep voice: "William, you know, after this war, many of the baron's men died, and many more were captured and sold into slavery......"

If the family can afford to pay the ransom, there may be a glimmer of hope that they will be redeemed, but unfortunately the inhabitants of the small town of Nia are generally not very wealthy, and the generous Lord Baron is even more stingy with his every copper plate in this matter.

"The problem of lack of manpower has already been manifested in this autumn harvest...... Therefore, Lord Baron is ready to take advantage of this free time to launch an expedition! ”

"Expedition? Against whom? ”

Wu Ming raised his eyebrows.

"Naturally, it's not other noble lords, but those rats in the wasteland! Wild people in the mountains! ”

Rorian laughed.

There are many kinds of savages in the wasteland, pure cannibals naturally can't talk, and when they encounter one, they are directly slashed and killed, but there are also mountain people, purely to avoid taxes, so as to collectively hide in the mountains or wilderness, most of them have a little craftsmanship, if they are caught, they are superior serfs!

William was a tenant who rented the baron's land, while the serfs were not even physically autonomous, but were the property of the lord, or rather, outside the class.

"I see!"

Wu Ming combined William's memory, and immediately understood, this is the otherworldly version of the slave catcher.

"This time the leader is Lord Thakur, a true knight, and Lord Baron agreed to allocate thirty men to him, but you know, this is not enough, so I recommend you to him!"

Rorian said, "Lord Thakur is willing to pay you ten copper a day, and at the same time have the right to share the spoils, requiring you to bring your own weapons and pass his tests!" What do you think? ”

"No problem, thank you, instructor!"

Wu Ming agreed without thinking.

The task of this temporary soldier is naturally not what he values, and what really makes Rorian recommend is this opportunity to get close to the knight.

In the same way, Wu Ming also needs this.

Only by approaching the upper echelons of this world and contacting the rules of power can you better improve yourself, both in terms of status and strength.

"Very well, take your sword and let's go meet Lord Thakur!"

Rorian got up, took Wu Ming, and came to the barracks in the town.

"Your Excellency!"

Seeing him coming, the two soldiers standing guard immediately raised their heads and saluted.

"Where's Lord Thakur?"

Rorian IV Advisors.

"It's on the training ground! You'll see him as soon as you go! ”

The training ground in the barracks was very large, and at this time it was empty, only a strong man like a black bear was wielding a pure black horn hammer, and the terrifying wind roared, so that the soldiers around him did not dare to step forward.

It's tall and strong!

This was Wu Ming's first impression of this knight.

William was already tall himself, but this knight of Thakur was even two heads taller than him, not to mention that the other party's arms were thicker than his thighs!

"This power ......"

After seeing this person's figure, Wu Ming was already extremely surprised, and after the other party threw down the hammer and smashed a small pit on the ground, his pupils shrank slightly: "It's definitely beyond the limit of ordinary people!" ”

Ordinary people have limits to all their values, and after so many months of training, Wu Ming can be sure that he has stood at the peak of ordinary people.

What it represents is the limit of perfection.

But this knight in front of him has broken through the ordinary rank and broken through the limits of mortals!

"Sure enough...... Extraordinary power, it still exists! ”

Wu Ming watched Thakur take a big stride and walk a little bloated, and his heart was relieved: "Of course, this transcendent seems to have a flaw, only increasing its strength and giving up its speed?" ”

Just from the other party's walking posture, Wu Ming saw a lot of things.

If he goes all out, with dexterity and swordsmanship, plus a good sword, there will be no chance to give this knight a blow!

Of course, this is based on great danger, and if you are accidentally hit by his attack first, it will really become a meatloaf.

"Haha! Rorian, is this the William you mentioned earlier? Not bad! ”

Thakur patted Wu Ming's shoulder vigorously, and deliberately used a little strength, although Wu Ming could resist, he still deliberately turned pale and shook it.

"Well, it's sturdy!"

Even with this performance, Thakur was very satisfied: "You will be a qualified soldier!" Brat...... You might even be able to snatch a woman from the wildlings on this hunt! ”

Obviously, in his mind, this level of military action can only be regarded as looting.

"Alright, let me see your swordsmanship again!"

Thakur laughed loudly, and when he saw Wu Ming pull out the long sword, he shook his head again: "You need a new long sword, believe me, although the stone axes and wooden spears of the wild people and cannibals are blunt, it still takes a lot of strength to split them, and a good sword!" ”

After watching a few of Wu Ming's swordsmanship moves, he already regarded Wu Ming as his own soldier.

"We'll leave in three days' time, when the sun just rises, and of course, you can come to the barracks early!"

Taller is clearly optimistic about this little guy named William.

"I see!"

Wu Ming saluted deeply, but his keen perception was always looking at the knight of Taler in front of him.

"Amazingly strong, I don't know if it's through exercise or other means......"

Becoming a knight in this world is quite demanding, and even if the leader is promoted, it also needs to pay a great price, and it is said that a series of rituals are required.

For example, when he went to Wuthering Castle, prayed in the church for seven days and seven nights, and anointed some kind of holy oil, for which the knight himself had to contribute a large sum of money to the church.

If he could, of course Wu Ming wanted to get a copy of the Holy Oil Research Study, but unfortunately, with his current status, it was simply a dream.

He still wants to study the mystery of blue blood, so he can't just bleed Baron Terry's family, right?

Some things, once done, are the enemy of the world, which is greatly detrimental to their own plans.

Out of the barracks, Wu Ming walked towards his kennel and began to secretly calculate.

He also has a little interest in the study of wild people and cannibals in the wasteland and deep mountains.

Especially the real wild people, who are rumored to have their own unique beliefs and customs, although they seem vulgar and barbaric to the townspeople, there is no reason hidden in them.

"Woo ......"

Just as he passed by Aunt Roya's hotel, he found that there was already a crowd of people here, and Sophia's crying was faintly heard, making him stop and squeeze in.

"Lady Loya, according to the latest decree issued by the lord, you already owe the wine tax for these few months! Leather tax! As well as a daily cleaning tax! ”

In the crowd, the fat tax collector Feder was oily, shook a tax bill, and said proudly: "Counting the interest accumulated before, the total is five Jindelon, plus seven silver thalers!" ”

"O gods!"

Someone next to him exclaimed in a low voice: "More greedy than vampires!" ”

"Shut up!"

Feder glanced around, "Are you going to pay off the poor lady's debt?" I don't have any opinion myself! ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone shrunk their necks.

The lord was captured, the ransom was distributed to the lords, and the increase of this greedy tax collector made the already heavy burden almost untenable.

Seeing that he had subdued everyone, Fei De turned around triumphantly: "Mrs. Roya, if you can't pay off your taxes today, I regret to inform you that your house and inn will be repossessed as a debt, and at the same time, you and your daughter will be sold into slavery!" ”

Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly fixed on the crying Sophia, and a lewd light flashed.

"No!"

Aunt Loa exclaimed, "For the sake of the gods, you can't do this!" ”
