Chen Kai: They only discussed for less than half an hour and ended all the problems, in fact, there are not many things they encounter now. At present, although a pension has to be paid, most of it is deducted from the spoils of war, and it can be said that Chen Kai basically did not spend a dime on himself. The only thing that is more worrying is the taxes to be paid after entering Pezarus, according to the rules of the aristocratic world, Chen Kai's taxes are lower than those of ordinary merchants, plus the contribution of these robbers, Chen Kai really has to pay not a lot of taxes. But under normal circumstances at that time, if he encountered abnormal extortion, perhaps Chen Kai's taxes on more than 3 million goods would be close to 300,000.

Of course, it is generally impossible to pay such a high tax, unless the lords of Pezarus do not want caravans to appear in their territory again. Therefore, Chen Kai estimated that he might need to pay taxes of 50,000 to 100,000 gold coins, but it was also a lot of money, and the most important thing was that Chen Kai and the gold coins in their pockets were a little insufficient, if every city had to pay such a large amount of taxes, maybe before they could get to Kazmodo, Chen Kai would have to declare himself bankrupt first. Therefore, Chen Kai couldn't help but call Hammer Tower into the carriage and ask the other party about paying taxes, but Hammer Tower looked at Chen Kai with his eyes open and stunned for a long time and said: "Aren't nobles above the lord not having to pay taxes?" ”

Eventually, Chen Kai learned from Hammer Tower that although his title did not meet some of the rules of taxation in the Rohan Empire, he could be exempted from taxation by presenting a letter from Count Zaf. Of course, this is actually in the name of Count Zaf, and it is illegal to do tax evasion in reality, but many aboriginal merchants in the game are happy to do it. The reason is that the taxes in some places are too strict, and the profits made by merchants from the operation of goods are not high enough to call the tax high. Therefore, most of the small merchants in the game can only act as second- and third-level agents of goods, that is, buying and selling transactions in a certain territory to reduce the chance of being charged transit tax. Only the big nobles and merchants who had full tax exemption were allowed to engage in cross-regional trade, which was a very normal thing in the Rohan Empire.

In Hansting, the transit tax is slightly lower, but some territories also charge very high, and even for some special material lords, they will charge an additional tax of 100% or even 200%. The purpose is to ensure that the material he produces can be sold in his native area. And it is against his interests to prevent the entry of such goods elsewhere. Local trade protectionism in this kind of game is very prevalent in some places, so much so that some businessmen and players who like that local protectionism to protect their goods in reality loudly denounce this kind of thing after entering the game. Of course, no one generally knows how to bird such a player, although most players are also very unhappy about this, but most players do not have the need for cross-regional trade, and many players are still wandering around the original city even in their fifties. Not all players like to run around on the game's vast and boundless map, and for now, Chen Kai is the best among some players.

Although they may not be able to run on the map of the main continent than some professional donkey players, they have to run to Khedira. The Alien World is not a place that the average player can reach. If it weren't for Chen Kai's luck, they might still be struggling in Khedira right now, either starving or being bullied by Warcraft. It's just that so far, there has been no news of the opening of the Khedira plane from the Temple of Life, so Lin Lei has complained about the error of the information provided by Chen Kai several times, but for the sake of the magic crystals that Chen Kai carried, he still dutifully collected the materials. In addition to some for Khedira, more supplies were needed for his own Thor's Fortress. Due to the summer time in the southern part of Hansting, the undead began to be more active than in the winter, with more than a dozen waves of undead attacking Thor Fortress every day. Although the number of each wave is not necessarily very large. And basically, there are many times to die, but it's too often. As a result, the material consumption of the entire Thor Fortress increased sharply, and Lin Lei had to give up taking care of his wife, who was about to give birth, and manage his own territory well in the game. …,

Thor Fortress has now become one of the most valuable assets of the Lin Group, and even according to some people's calculations, the value of the Thor Fortress is more valuable than the two 100-story buildings of the Lin Group. If it weren't for the fact that Thor Fortress is not tradable, it is estimated that Lin Lei would become the first billionaire in the game, because someone bid a billion to buy Thor Fortress. Of course, everyone knows that Thor Fortress is very valuable at present, but Lin Lei has no intention of selling Thor Fortress at all, he completely treats the things in the game as his own business, and naturally will not sell his castle. The most important thing is that this castle is not just his personal thing. Basically, it is the common asset of several high-level leaders of the entire Thor Guild. Although the two parties have signed a contract, and the Lin Group bought the castle shares in the hands of these players for a real amount, they still have the ownership of the castle in the game, but it has been determined that the castle belongs to Lin Lei in reality and the game contract. But there is an even more deceptive premise in the game, that is, if the castle is breached, then the lord has the right to recover the territory of the landless nobles.

Even if the territory belongs to the player, if the territory is breached by the enemy, even if the player eventually recovers the territory, he will lose ownership of the territory. Because of this, after the undead attacks became frequent, whether it was to protect their own business or to protect the assets of the Lin Group. Lin Lei has to work hard in the game.

But what made Lin Lei depressed was that although he had worked hard for a long time. But he is still only a third-class knight, one level away from the lord's title. If you want to cross over at this level, it's not just a matter of paying tribute to the lord at all. Instead, it requires real combat exploits or territorial expansion. But if you want to expand your territory, you will inevitably anger the undead of Adog, in this situation, the demigod Ness of the undead of Adog, is notorious all over the world, and if you anger this guy, Lin Lei will feel that his nest will be bulldozed by the other party at any time. Although there is no information that Ness is staying in Adog, there is even less information that he is not there, because no one has been able to enter the core of Adog, and there is no way to even enter the periphery now.

After the castles that had been built around Adogr were breached, all the building materials were carried back by the undead to be used as materials for the construction of Adog. After infiltrating nearly two kilometers of Adog, a few daring thieves found that the huge ruined city had now been transformed into a huge construction site. The breaches in the walls are all gone, and a large number of white bones and undead act as construction workers to repair the walls, and the walls are also covered with various defensive facilities. If it was possible to rush into the city of Adogh without much manpower, now there are not millions of people who don't even want to touch the corners of Adog.

What made Lin Lei feel most depressed and frightened was that there were now eight new small castles around Yadog, that is, eight guard castles. These castles occupy a small area, but they are firmly blocked on both sides of the gates of Adog. The height of the walls is not high, and a slope is connected with the towering walls of Adog. None of this is the point, the point is that with the addition of these eight guarded castles, it is very impossible to capture Adogr from the gates. Those attacking the gates must face arrows from the castles on both sides, and those attacking the castles on both sides will be attacked by the weapons of the defenders on the walls of Adog. When the thieves brought out the current situation of Adoger in the 3D modeling table, all the players who looked at Adog's new image couldn't help but gasp.

If the original Adogh was a garbage heap that many players could go into to check for leaks, now Adogr is a hard-hit knight armed to the teeth, and the armor he wears is also the kind full of spikes. The walls are littered with bed crossbows and catapults, which are very similar to the bone slings that attack redstone. It's not just an ordinary wooden catapult. Everyone would feel numb all over their bodies when they thought of the power of the bone catapult in the video Fei Yun released, and the power of the bone bed crossbow that also looked like it was made of white bone might be even more terrifying. No one knows if there will be bone construct creatures in Yadog, or worse, a few bone Torusky will run out. …,

But if a few white bones really emerge from Adog, it is estimated that the entire city around Adog will not be able to stop them. Unless the Lord of Adolic will come to help, but so far the players in the entire town of Adolic have not seen that lord, and there is news that the other party has already traveled to the Star Plane. Of course, there is also news that the other party ran to the imperial capital. There is no way to prove which message is true. But one thing everyone knows for sure is that Adolic doesn't seem to be guarded by legendary powerhouses, but that's only on the surface. According to what some people have learned, as one of the towns guarding Adog, Adolic has at least four legendary powerhouses stationed. This was before the appearance of the demigod Ness, and after he appeared, the number of legendary powerhouses hidden around Adogh increased by at least half, and nearly one-fifth of the legends of the entire Hansting were concentrated in this area.

The remaining two-fifths were concentrated in the imperial capital, and the rest were scattered throughout the cities of Hansting. Therefore, if you want to find a legendary ** division, it is very simple to run to a few cities around Adog, and there are at least three legendary ** divisions in Adoric. In several other cities, it is about the same, if not a little more. But no matter how many legendary powerhouses there are, they may not be able to fight more than demigods, and the most important thing is that if the Dark Council really fights with the legends of the Hansting Empire in Hansting, it is estimated that the entire Hansting will be destroyed by one-tenth.

Of course, if the Dark Council really attacked Hansting, it was estimated that it would be as simple as dispatching legendary powerhouses, at least more than half of Hansting's holy domains would join the battle, and how many holy domains Hansting actually had according to Chen Kai's understanding was at least more than five thousand. In fact, Hansting is one of the only large empires in the entire continent of Etia where it is possible to form a Sanctuary Legion, but it is the only human nation that can form a Sanctuary Legion. Although the Mage Capital is also a country, it is not a human country, and there are many races among the spellcasters, and the current chief ** master of the Mage Capital is a goblin, that is, an earth elf, so it cannot be regarded as a human country. But no one should underestimate the power of the Mage Capital. Even if it's as big as the Duchy of Anclo. But there are tens of thousands of ** divisions gathered, and hundreds of legendary ** divisions are basically more powerful than any temple on the mainland.

Even Antoson, the god of spells, and Shirin, the goddess of mysteries, were terrified of the number of believers they had. In fact, many times the legendary masters do not have much respect for the two gods, and there are even more than a dozen ancient legendary masters in several ancient mage towers in the capital of mages. These old antiques are older than the two gods, and their strength is much higher than that of the gods of spells. It can be said that they are gods who are not gods on the earth, but these people basically don't go out, and they haven't been able to see each other's shadows for hundreds of years. Even one of them, the Grand Arcian named Camerin, has been missing for more than five hundred years, and no one knows whether he died in the astral realm or ran to purgatory to study the body structure of the succubus.

It is precisely because most of these ancient arcane masters, who surpass ordinary legends and even gods, do not care and disappear more than there is news, that the Dark Council dares to build momentum in the Duchy of Anclo, which is less than 2,000 kilometers away from the capital of mages. Of course, they still didn't dare to turn their attacks in the direction of the Mage Capital. You can only attack the Rohan Empire and the Radiant Empire. It's just that the war of the Rohan Empire was directly blocked because of the redstone fortress, and Amma, who was in charge of the battle of the Rohan Empire? There is no news from Lagas until now, and of course no one thinks that he is dead, so it can only be defined as temporarily hidden. Because of Amma? The defeat in the battle of Lagas caused the expansion of the Dark Council to stop, but because of the dispatch of several powerful men of the Dark Council, the Radiant Empire, which was in the main direction of attack, was in great pain. The many legends of the Glorious Empire who were directly beaten by Domingo of Death Titan alone had no temper, and its strength was even more terrifying than that of the demigods, and more than a dozen legendary sieges turned out to let him kill half of them. …,

Of course, the death of the Titan, Domingo, was not completely without a price. Although he used his powerful power to prove his existence, he even directly killed the clones of the three legendary great priests who used their lives to open the gate of the Kingdom of God and summoned the Lord of Radiance. It is said that nearly 100,000 players who saw that battle died, all of them were killed by the energy blast generated by the attacks of both sides, and the Death Titan Domingo has not appeared since this battle. As for when this battle broke out, it was exactly the third day after the battle at the Redstone Fortress ended. It was only when this battle appeared that many players shifted their attention from the Redstone Fortress to the battlefield of the Radiant Empire, and it was only at this point that some players realized that they were not paying attention. The Radiant Empire has lost three border towns and a third-level main city. The most important thing is that the deaths of several legends are even more shocking, if it weren't for the death Titan Domingo who later lurked, it is estimated that the losses of the Radiant Empire would be greater than that of the Rohan Empire.

At this time, many players are comparing the legend with the magic cannon, but in the end, they found that the legendary powerhouse is not as good as the magic cannon, but the cost of the relative magic cannon is far more expensive than cultivating a legend. But what if this contrast is based on Amma? With Lagas and Domingo the Death Titan equal, most players would believe that the Redstone Fortress would never be able to hold it.

While Chen Kai and the others were struggling in the wind and snow, the battle between the Radiant Empire and the former Ankeluo Principality had completely subsided. But it was clear to everyone that this was just a buffer period for both sides to lick their wounds, even in the Rohan Empire in the East. Due to the wind and snow, many supplies from the Rohan Empire could not be shipped. Only a little bit of the portal can be transferred, but the entire Redstone Fortress is still constantly being enriched, especially after the funeral of the two Titled Sanctuary, the entire Rohan Empire's war machine Qì began to start at full speed. A large amount of materials related to the battle were mobilized, and the battle within the empire for the succession to the throne of the future emperor was temporarily put on hold due to the threat of the undead. The Rohan Empire is not a Radiant Empire, and without the ability to sacrifice several clones that have summoned the Lord of Radiance to participate in the battle, it is even more impossible for Aurora, the Lord of Dawn, to directly enter the human world from the Kingdom of God to participate in the battle. The only thing the Rohan Empire can rely on is the War Mage Tower, and Asma? Infernal Fury.

This tension was not felt at all in Pezzaros, because the whole of Pezzaros was preparing for the winter festival. According to Hammer Tower. Five or six days after the end of the Wild Boar Festival in Cardogerrera. After the first snow falls, preparations for the winter festival of Pezaros will begin. Generally speaking, the moment the heavy snow stops is the date when the winter festival begins. Until the second snow falls, the whole of Pezaros will look like a real Chinese New Year. If you want to eat the most delicious winter festival meal in Pezarus, you must enter the city before the winter festival begins, otherwise you will basically not find the other party to live in the future.

Most importantly, according to Hammertower, after the start of the Winter Festival, all illegal trading activities were banned, and at that time, the robber captives that Chen Kai brought with him could hardly be exchanged for anything other than to throw them to the sheriff in exchange for a bounty. Therefore, when the sky was just dawning, Chen Kai couldn't wait to call the mercenaries to prepare for the road, and the mercenaries used their feet to wake up the robbers who were still sleeping under the blankets and hurried away.

The overnight snow covered the entire road in a thick layer of snow, and the robber captives had to work hard to clear the snow and sweep a path that could be crossed by the wheels of the wagons. In this snowy situation, Chen Kai naturally didn't want to starve them. All the robbers had a very full breakfast with fat, and their task was very difficult, as they had to dig nearly fifteen kilometers of road with a shovel.

By the time Chen Kai and the others arrived in Pezaros out of breath, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Those who had been driving all day in the wind and snow were exhausted, and the robber captives were even more exhausted. If it weren't for Chen Kai's delicious food and drink, it is estimated that these robbers would definitely be exhausted to death. In the dark night, Pezaros looked very noisy, and the lights and fires reflected the whole city as a city that never sleeps. This is the most joyous time of the year in Pezaros, where the winter festival is about to take place, and even the war cannot stop the happy smiles of its residents.
