Chapter 749: Heavy Rain
"Wizard Abel can't hold it anymore, and he will be silent, that is, ten days and half a month."
Sitting on the main seat of the castle, Wang Xu was wearing a purple robe, and his eyes looked in the direction of the royal capital.
Wizard Abel, is the guardian of the Blackman Wizard Academy, sent to the knightly world.
As the defender of the town, Wizard Abel has the strength of the late second order, but he suffered a heavy soul damage in the war with the Scarlet Wizard Academy, and although he was lucky enough not to die in the war, he has not been able to erase the decay of his soul.
Now that he has returned to the world of knights, he has been struggling for hundreds of years, and his soul is on the verge of limit, and he has no days to live.
According to the meaning of the Blackman Wizard Academy, Abel Wizard is the defender of the academy, and his death should not be unknown.
Therefore, the senior management of the academy specially informed Wang Xu and asked him to go to the royal capital to see off Wizard Abel.
"A second-order wizard who fuses his bloodline can theoretically live up to 10,000 years before he dies due to soul decay. Wizard Abel, I'm afraid he won't even be two thousand years old this year, so he can be regarded as an untimely death, otherwise according to the evaluation of the academy, he is very likely to become a third-order wizard. ”
War is cruel, even if the Blackman Wizard Academy is stronger, it is impossible to suppress the Scarlet Wizard Academy without loss.
Wizard Abel is just one of the thousands of dark wizards who died and suffered heavy losses in this war, if he wasn't in the knight world, and just in time for Wizard Abel's death, the academy wouldn't have let him attend the funeral.
"Sir, this is a new grape from the vineyard, please taste it."
The maid, who was wearing a linen robe and had half of Mimi's chest exposed, walked in with a plate of grapes and half-knelt at Wang Xu's feet.
From his position, he could see a touch of snow white and half a red dot from the loose collar.
Wang Xu shook his head slightly, being an earl is fine, but there are too many people who want to climb into his bed.
Looking at the maid's charming eyes, he didn't believe that this was a natural walk, and it was full of routines at first glance.
"Get up, you act every day, aren't you tired?" Wang Xu waved his hand impatiently, he was tired of these scheming.
When the maid heard this, she was so frightened that she said in a long voice, like a frightened fawn, "Master..."
"Stand down." Wang Xu didn't look at it, and lowered his head to eat grapes.
The maid reluctantly left, and after a while, there was a frolicking sound outside.
"Little Lang Hoof, I still want to tempt the master, so I'm being kicked out now."
"That's it, look at your appearance, the collar on your chest is so deep, how sassy you must be!"
"Phew, you're not much better than me, who wanted to climb out of bed in the middle of the night and was kicked down by the master, and who pretended to meet the master by chance, 17 times a day, you are still embarrassed to say me, I strangled you little."
Although the frolicking outside was deliberately suppressed, with Wang Xu's ear power, he could still hear it clearly.
He knew very well that even if these maids understood that it was impossible to marry an earl in their lifetime, they were still willing to put out the fire for this knighthood moth.
Because for these maids, there is no need to marry the earl, as long as they climb into his bed, even if they eat and drink spicy food in this life, the family will benefit from it for a lifetime.
Not to mention anything else, there are hundreds of towns and villages under Wang Xu's jurisdiction, and if you climb into his bed, it is not too much to get a tax officer for your family.
In the outside world, the tax collectors of townships and towns are big people with heads and faces, and no one in ten miles and eight townships is allowed to look at them.
"Sir, the carriage is ready." Karpass, the butler, walked in from the outside at this time.
Hearing that it was ready, Wang Xu nodded faintly and said softly: "Let's go." ”
Grunt...
A dozen knights walked in front, followed by five black carriages, and then a personal guard of hundreds of men followed.
Looking at the fluttering tulip flags, the people along the way knelt on the ground, even if there were naughty children who didn't want to kneel, they would be forcibly pressed to the ground by adults, so as not to collide with the nobles.
Wang Xu sat in the carriage and looked at the civilians along the way through the window.
Most of these people were dressed in linen clothes, and their faces were vegetable, and many of them had numbness in their eyes, as if they were just robots that could plow the land.
"Karpass, come here."
Wang Xu beckoned to the butler who was riding a horse and following the carriage and asked, "What is the tax rate in our territory?" ”
"Master, it's seven out of ten." The butler replied on horseback without thinking.
Wang Xu nodded lightly and said softly: "Tell them that the tax rate will be lowered to ten taxes and six taxes, and they can play two more chairs during the New Year's holidays in the future." ”
"Yes, sir."
The butler rode his horse, holding a tulip flag, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, listen, Lord Earl has an order, the future tax will be lowered to ten taxes and six taxes, and your good days are coming!" ”
"Oh my God, ten taxes and six, I won't dream anymore."
"Oh, my poor son, if there is a tax of ten and six, mother will have the money for you to take your daughter-in-law."
"Long live Lord Earl, long live!!"
Listening to the cheers on both sides of the road, Green, who was riding a horse in front, glanced enviously in the direction of the carriage and thought to himself: "If one day, I can become a nobleman, I will implement the policy of ten taxes and five taxes, so that everyone will cheer for me too." ”
As a time-traveler from the modern era, Green considers himself more democratic than anyone else.
Isn't it just ten taxes and six, sooner or later, one day, you can do it yourself, and you can do it better than everyone else.
"The soil quality of the Black Iron City is very suitable for growing hops, and we should vigorously promote hop cultivation and build a complete beer processing plant, which is much stronger than farming."
Wang Xu said as he ordered: "Write it down and let people do it, I want to smell the aroma of hops when I come back." ”
"Yes, sir."
Under the cheers of countless people, the convoy gradually disappeared into the distance.
The rest of the trip is mainly in a hurry.
From the Black Iron City to the royal capital, it is 1,200 miles, and it takes about a week to arrive.
Wang Xu didn't urge, because in the information he obtained, Wizard Abel would be dead at least ten days and half a month later, which was enough in terms of time.
Four days later...
"Load all the supplies on the two wagons in the back, everyone hurry, after this town, we will enter the Black Forest, and beyond that is Kabudar."
Heavy rain continued, and in the small town adjacent to the forest, Wang Xu's convoy stayed here to replenish the necessary supplies.
Looking at the guards who were busy in the rain and carrying supplies, Wang Xu and the knights sat in the shed outside the tavern, enjoying the treatment of lamb chops and beer, while chatting as if no one was there.
In terms of identity, the highest level is, of course, Wang Xu, followed by the housekeeper and these knights.
You can't expect knights to carry things like coolies, so the chores are left to the guards.
Click...
A flash of lightning flashed, and in the midst of the rainstorm, a knight in armor rushed from afar.
When he arrived at the door of the tavern, the knight turned over and dismounted, and half-knelt in front of Wang Xu: "My lord, the road in the forest is muddy, and it rains heavily, from the perspective of his subordinates, it is best to spend the night in the town." ”
Wang Xu raised his head when he heard the sound and looked at the endless Black Forest outside the town, and the heavier and heavier rain.
After half a ring, he nodded slightly and said, "Yes..."
With Wang Xu's permission, the guards who carried the materials breathed a sigh of relief.
They are not aristocratic lords in horse-drawn carriages, and if they march in a torrential rain, they are the most unlucky.
"Inform the tavern keeper that the lamb, the soup, the bread, the rum, we are going to spend the night at his place." Wang Xu retracted his gaze and said to the housekeeper beside him.
The butler nodded lightly and walked into the tavern to communicate with the boss.
As for the tavern owner, whether he will let all the people live in his tavern, Wang Xu is not worried.
Because in this era, the nobility had the right to execute commoners, and if the tavern owner dared to refuse, he had to be careful of losing his head.
Rumble!!
Another thunderclap, rain, even more ...
