Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Villagers
Continue to repay the debt with thousands of recommendations, and it will be paid off today.
Hehe, thanks to the support of the owner, I will continue to work hard.
However, I have been busy lately, which may affect the update.
Thank you for the tip of 1A2S3D children's shoes, thank you very much! ----------------------- the dividing line of all evils------------------- after Chen Kai handed over those villagers to the Juan Knights, the system prompted Chen Kai that they had completed the task "Old Parr's Last Wish", and the experience alone almost made Chen Kai and them upgrade by half a level.
However, the villagers were eventually kicked out of the police station like a ball, because Juan Knight could not do anything to the villagers who lived on the border between the two cities.
They live in the three areas, and they don't have to pay taxes in their ordinary lives, and if they don't pay taxes, they naturally can't get the protection of the city lord.
Chen Kai could only take them to the temple, after all, the dozen or so demon heads still had to go to the temple to deal in.
In addition, the matter of these villagers being arrested must also be explained to the temple, after all, it would be bad if they really did something worse than those guys in black clothes.
Although they were tested by the holy water without any evil aura or substance in their bodies, who knows if the holy water will fail? "Kaichen, good evening!" Chen Kai walked into the hall of the temple with more than a dozen villagers, and the knight of Lothar, who was on duty at night, greeted him.
"Good evening! Knights of Lothar, could you please take these to the temple to check them out! They may have been exposed to demons. ”
Chen Kai said softly to Lothar.
"What? Are you sure? Are they all corrupted by demons? Lothar frowned, and in his opinion, anything that had been in contact with the demon should be cleaned up, but it was clear that he had misunderstood Chen Kai's words.
"Sorry! I mean they were captured by some men in black and locked up with demons.
I don't know if their bodies have been corrupted by demonic powers, because they don't have many adverse reactions after using the holy water.
However, it is better to check it out just in case, after all, the traitor of Litt had been lurking in the Temple of Radiance for nearly twenty years without being discovered. ”
Chen Kai hurriedly explained.
"Alright! Then I'll take them to check it out. ”
The Knight of Lothar gestured to a new Templar on the side, and then led the dozen or so villagers to the back of the temple.
Chen Kai also wanted the knight to salute a little, and then went to the place where Bishop Rong En was.
"Stupid! I can't even use a holy fire, so I'll have to copy the prayer a hundred times! Bishop Ron heard a loud voice from the room, and several apprentice priests cautiously walked out of the room.
However, looking at their appearance, they are mostly relaxed and less afraid.
However, these newcomers obviously hadn't seen Chen Kai, and they were very strange to see Chen Kai push the door without knocking.
At the moment when the door closed, several players were still gloating in their hearts as they imagined Chen Kai being scolded.
It's a pity that they still didn't see Chen Kai come out after waiting for a few minutes, thinking about what they were punished for, a few novice players could only go back to their rooms.
"Yo! Your Excellency Bishop, why are you throwing tantrums at a few little ones? Chen Kai pulled up a chair and sat in front of Bishop Rong'en.
"Little one? Hum! Aren't you a little guy yourself? Hurry up and say anything about it, and get out of here if it's okay! NND, these new fools, can't do any little things! Bishop Jonn said, holding a quill pen.
"Alright! I'll admit I'm a little guy too. ”
Chen Kai scratched his nose and said, compared to the powerhouse of Bishop Rong'en who was close to the Holy Land, Chen Kai was really a little guy.
Although Ron's priesthood is bishop, he is actually just a high-ranking priest, and he is the same level as Bass, otherwise how dare Bass talk nonsense in front of him.
"Tell me what you want! You kid didn't see anyone at all when he was fine, did you pick up something good again and take it out to see! Bishop Ron said with a smile as he turned his quill pen.
"It's something, but it's not something I picked up."
Chen Kai took out the head of an inferior demon from his backpack and said.
"It's a bad devil! Which demon hunter did you pick it up, be careful that they make trouble for you!~" Bishop Rong En grabbed the head of a bad demon and said, he didn't believe that it was Chen Kai who killed it himself.
But soon his eyes popped out, because Chen Kai took out another one from his backpack, and he was still pulling it out one by one.
"That's it! Don't get it out of me, boy, do you want to make my room a filthy place? Bishop Rong En immediately stopped Chen Kai's movements, and quickly took away several demon heads on the table.
However, in just a few moments, a huge black decay appeared on the sandalwood zuò desk.
"Say it! What's going on, where did you slaughter these demons? ”
Bishop Rong En now believes that these demons were hunted by Chen Kai himself, because if other demon hunters killed them, if Chen Kai took away so many heads, he would probably have the heart to kill him on the street.
"Are you sure someone is arresting villagers at that place on the edge of the city that they use to make demonization?" Bishop Rong En asked bluntly after listening to Chen Kai's account, because he didn't really believe that Chen Kai could come from under the hands of that kind of person.
"Of course! I also asked the Knights of Lothar to take them to the temple to inspect them, hoping that none of them would be corrupted by the demonic aura. ”
Chen Kai said worriedly.
"But even if it doesn't show that it's been eroded, what are you going to do with the villagers? The Lord of the Castle will not re-establish the village for them, nor will he let them go back to where they were.
If they are lucky, they can become free people, and if they are unlucky, they will probably become outcasts, after all, they want to avoid taxes in the first place.
Otherwise, how could normal civilians run away to live in those places that don't care? Bishop Rong En looked into Chen Kai's eyes and said.
"You're right, but I can't just leave them alone, can I? After all, I saved people. ”
Chen Kai sighed and said, Chen Kai is still more sympathetic to those poor people, although he is in a game, but seeing those helpless and demanding eyes, Chen Kai can't help but leave them alone.
"Yes! But I can't do anything about it, of course you can find a better landlord to take them in.
As long as they are placed in a manor within the town of Adolik, and some taxes are paid, it is estimated that they can be given a civilian status. ”
Bishop Rong En thought for a moment and said, "And you don't want to arrange them into your own manor, the manor near the imperial capital will never allow peasants of unknown origin to enter. ”
As soon as Chen Kai wanted to speak, Bishop Rongen's words directly stuffed back the language he wanted to speak, and he sighed and asked, "Thank you!" Your Excellency, I will retire first! By the way, what to do with these heads? "If you don't have to worry, leave them to me! Although they are all low-level demons, and no matter how you look at them, they are all the kind whose demon's blood has been drained, but they still have some very useful spell-casting materials in their heads, and those mages should like it very much! Bishop Rong said with a slight smile.
"Alright! But you can't smoke too much, the things I asked you to sell last time were a mess for me, and those scrolls are basically useless! Chen Kai grumbled softly, and a black line flashed quickly on Bishop Rong En's head.
"That's it! All right! I see, by the way, you don't have to ask that idiot Bass, his manor was already stuffed at the time of the transfer, and the protection of a Templar is no ordinary temptation! Bishop Rong En put away Chen Kai's head and said by the way, but as his words fell, Chen Kai felt his feet stumble.
"Damn, isn't Rong En learning mental arts! How can I always guess what is in my heart! When Chen Kai walked out of the room, he thought depressedly, while Bishop Rong En was holding a quill pen and correcting the text there, and he thought in his heart: "The mental technique taught by Archbishop Max is really useful, but unfortunately it can only be used on the little guy who is above the third order below himself." ”
When Chen Kai walked out of the temple, he was still followed by a dozen villagers, but their clothes had been changed and they had received simple treatment.
Of course, this is the only thing the temple can do, after all, the temple is not a charity, and it is impossible to raise a dozen idlers.
Most of the temple's positions were filled by retired knights and priests, and only a few positions were recruited from outside, but there were absolutely no civilians.
Because the temple often needs to spread the faith, the most important thing is to participate in the war with the hostile forces, that is, with the demon and his men.
Therefore, even a chef needs to go out to fight, which Chen Kai only learned after participating in the Battle of North.
After Chen Kai walked out of the temple, he directly dialed Lin Lei's communicator, of course, he was still terrified, he was worried that there would suddenly be a roar from the opposite side.
But fortunately, Lin Lei soon connected the message, and a slightly tired face appeared in front of Chen Kai's eyes.
"Yo! Xiao Kai, why haven't you been looking for me for so long! When you go to the police station and avoid me, are you afraid that I will collect debts? Rest assured, after the transaction is completed, Lao Tzu will never repay the debt, and besides, I have not lost much." Lin Lei smiled when he saw Chen Kai and said.
"Hey, hey! I'm sorry senior, I didn't know that the gold coins would fall so much all at once! Chen Kai said apologetically.
"It's okay! Didn't you say that? My loss is not big, at most tens of thousands of yuan, but there is still a large gap in my hand.
NND Siyuan Company is also yes, open to huàn, open to huàn! There is also a whole limit, and the money of Lao Tzu is tense to death, by the way, Xiao Kai, do you still have magic crystal coins in your hand, I will receive it at 2 times the market price! Lin Lei said slowly in the communicator.
"Oops! Don't you say I've forgotten, Bishop Ronn still owes me thirty mana crystals! Unlucky, I don't know when he will pay me back? Chen Kai suddenly remembered that Bishop Rong En still had a loan of thirty magic crystals that had not been repaid, and at this time, Bishop Rong En, who was about to take a bath, suddenly sneezed, and he thought to himself that bastard was talking about me.
"Looks like you kid has no money! By the way, what are you looking for me? Lin Lei looked at Chen Kai's appearance and sighed and said, but he didn't guess that Chen Kai's backpack was also stuffed with dozens of magic crystal coins.
"I just want to ask if you have bought a manor, I have more than a dozen villagers here who have nowhere to go, can you stuff it into your manor!" Chen Kai said what he wanted to ask.
"What? Do you have a dozen peasants there? Where did you bring it from, and so on! Where's your kid? In the temple area, don't move there and I'll be right here! When Lin Lei heard Chen Kai say that there were more than a dozen villagers, he immediately became extremely excited, and he actually planned to run over directly.
Chen Kai only waited on the temple square for less than two minutes before he saw a figure rushing from outside the square.
He was also wearing a standard armor similar to Chen Kai's, with a slight light on his shoulders, and a red cloak behind him was constantly waving while running.
"NND, I'm tired of Lao Tzu! Xiao Kai: Is this what you said about the dozen or so villagers? Lin Lei asked with a pant.
"Yes, but you're not going to hear the villagers rushing over like that, are you?" Chen Kai looked at Lin Lei's appearance, obviously the other party was running in a hurry, but he couldn't figure out where Lin Lei ran from.
"Cut! It's not the bastard who sold it to the manor, no wonder the manor is so cheap, it turns out that all the villagers and farmers were run away by that pervert.
I said, why did the guards look so strange when Lao Tzu took over the manor? Lin Lei said angrily, it is estimated that he has stepped on that bastard more than a dozen times in his heart.
"And the things in the house have been sold out, and the old man has to spend hundreds of thousands of gold coins to redecorate, by the way, I just bought a bed some time ago, and the bed is really good! It's just that the smell is not good, I always smell a foul smell, if it is not bought when it is second-hand, I guess I will have to catch the profiteer who sold the bed and smoke a few times. ”
"I hope he didn't buy my dead man's bed, but it sounds like it!" Chen Kai thought slowly in his heart, but he didn't say it, because the bed was estimated to be more than 50,000 gold coins, which was a standard luxury.
"That's it! Then these villagers will be handed over to you, and Rong En said that they must help them make up the taxes set by the city lord, otherwise they will still be black households! You don't want your manor to be patronized by those guards all the time! Chen Kai said to Lin Lei.
"Of course! I know this very well, if it weren't for the fact that the villagers were so difficult to recruit, how could I have run so hard! I really don't know what's going on, Lao Tzu has been posting notices in the slums for a long time, and no one dares to go to my manor even if he pays for it. ”
Lin Lei said with a sigh.
"Maybe it's because your reputation is too low! You know, Buzz had just bought the manor, and his men were filled with villagers who wanted to join him.
The other most important thing is the strength, Buzz is the Templar Captain, we are just a player, we don't have the strength to protect those villagers how dare to follow you to work in the wild manor. ”
Chen Kai said as he put his arm on Lin Lei's shoulder.
"I see, it seems that we have to apply to the city lord to build the knights as soon as possible! What do you think? Xiao Kai can't come to my riding group, I will leave you a good position, how about the deputy commander? Lin Lei slowly seduced him, but Chen Kai directly shook his head and refused.
"That's right! Do seniors know that there is a suitable place for leveling? Chen Kai changed the topic and asked.
"Of course! The original Barak's hut is now a standard leveling dungeon, but nothing is dropped! There are also three leveling points in the wild, one is an ancient ruin in the northwest of the city, where there are some ghosts wandering there, as long as some low-level magic can be killed, it is most suitable for temple class professional leveling.
One is the goblins in the swamp to the southwest, those soil bandits are numerous, and they have good experience, but they are a little shorter, not easy to attack, and they are very poor.
Finally, in a col to the south, where the man-eaters have the most experience, they are not easy to deal with. ”
Lin Lei told Chen Kai all the leveling points he knew, and repaid him for helping him find the villagers.
"Forget it, those ogres in the south, leave it to yourself! After going once, Lao Tzu definitely didn't want to go a second time, those cannibals are really not for people to deal with. ”
Chen Kai took out a few man-eating monster heads and said.
"So you've already been there, so forget it! By the way, do you want to go to my castle, I have already changed the sheets for the newly bought bed.
What a pity the sheets and quilts, the velvet and brocade weaves! It's a pity that it's all black and red smell of blood and blood clots, it's really a waste! Lin Lei said with a sigh.
"Oh! Yes! Don't burn it! I heard that the big man who died in the North Fortress slept on that kind of bed, maybe it was really someone else's bed! Chen Kai whispered.
"What? Damn profiteer, he only told me that someone had been injured and spilled blood, and it turned out to be a bed where a dead man had slept.
I want him to spit out Lao Tzu's money, at least half of it! Lin Lei hurriedly said.
"That's it! I'll flash first, so follow him!" I've already arranged it for you, and my friend will help you arrange it on his manor so that you can get the status of a civilian!" Chen Kai turned his head to the villagers and said, what was fed back to Chen Kai was more than a dozen pairs of eyes full of gratitude, but Chen Kai had already turned around and left.
Under the leadership of Lin Lei, the villagers also slowly left the temple square, and only the bright sunlight shone on the earth through the statue in front of the temple, leaving spots of golden light.
