The so-called Merchant Loyalty Investigation Bureau, which tests your loyalty, will not appear until next year, that is, in 1129 A.D., and now in 1128 A.D., Nissell and Dante left the Academia and began to walk towards Myrdal, starting from this most likely place.

It's been more than a year since Nishiel left the Patron, and she has come to know how to survive in this new era, yes, a new era, a completely different era from the past.

As mentioned earlier, the destruction of the war led to the shrinking of trade routes and the bankruptcy of farms, which caused the population density of Sulasi to begin to decline, and at the same time, it brought about the breeding of bandits and the rampant of demonic beasts.

As far as Nishi's case is concerned, on the way, Niguer even ran into a pack of blue wolves, and the star god was on it! This is the Doreman Plain, and there are actually blue wolves coming in!

So what is the army doing at this time, and why doesn't Surassi's army exterminate these monsters?

Surassi's army was huddled in the city, turning a blind eye to the bandits and monsters that were coming and going on the outskirts of the city. Sulasi's army was used for war, coup d'état and rebellion, not for long-term fighting with high intensity and low intensity.

But if the suburbs are a mess, Surassi won't be able to collect taxes. So at this time, Solit turned out the wisdom of the ancients from the pile of old papers.

In the time of Wang Ji Qianli, the small city-states of that era still had a strong independence, and it lasted for a long time, why is this? Is it because the big city-states are conscientious nobles and are unwilling to annex the small city-states?

No.

At that time, the reason why Sulasi, which was full of city-states, did not take place in the early days was because each city-state was responsible for forming its own security army to eliminate the surrounding magical beasts.

After all, there are strong and weak Warcraft, and the strong Warcraft can break through the city gate (just the city gate) with its own strength, and the weak can even escape with children, plus the number is like a carp crossing the river, which really gives the army a headache.

If only each city-state is responsible for an area, and that area is the source of the city-state's wealth, of course, each city-state will give full play to its initiative and destroy the monster by itself without having to allocate funds from above.

But if the army is used to go to various city-states to exterminate the demonic beasts, the army will die of exhaustion sooner or later.

Therefore, Sulasi's army at the beginning only attacked the group of barbarians who gathered on a large scale, and the armies of each city-state were only responsible for attacking the demonic beasts and remnants of the barbarians in their own area.

Besides, the early big city-states didn't handle the magical beasts and barbarians around themselves, so of course they wouldn't do anything to the small city-states, otherwise it would be another expense.

However, with the gradual scarcity of Warcraft, the costs and benefits of annexing small city-states became more and more unbalanced, so the small city-states lost their autonomy one by one, and the priest assistant replaced the priest of the small city-state.

The so-called one era is the same, in the current era of Sulasi's political situation is increasingly collapsing, Sulasi's current situation is somewhat similar to a thousand years ago, with the city-state as the basis of civilization, the village is already very barren, and then continue to the wilderness is a lawless land.

The only change is that the once ubiquitous barbarians have become the low-level people who are extremely resentful of Sulassi because of bankruptcy and harsh taxes, and as for the monsters that were once driven away, they have also returned one after another.

Under these circumstances, Solit decisively adopted a new policy to deal with the situation. In Solit's New Deal, Solit learned the ancient ways of delegating farms and city-states once again, just as they had a thousand years ago.

The appointed nobles, who were given land as their basic plates, honorary nobles as assistants, and some serfs as basic laborers, were then given the honorary title of patron and went to the predetermined place.

Where, he had to command the serfs, reclaim the land himself, and command the honorary nobles to unite with other farms to defend against possible bandits and monsters, and when the other party had a large gathering, they would also notify the city-state and let the city-state send an army to clear it.

Nishiel, for example, was assigned to a nobleman as an assistant to a farm in Doleiman.

And Nishiel's patron owner is also very good - for Nishiel, when Nishiel wants to take Dante away, Nishiol's patron not only does not stop her, but gives Nimuel a certificate of identity, in honor of his family and himself.

And this is also the most important measure of Solit's new deal.

With this measure, Surasie quickly recovered from the fiasco at the First Battle of Spari and regained control of a number of important locations, many of which were restored, even from 1113 onwards, where taxes had been stopped for Surasigon from 1113 onwards.

In this era, the identity of the nobility became more and more important, and the ownerless settlements in the suburbs had largely disappeared, replaced by farms controlled by the aristocracy.

At this time, there is a noble status, even if it is an honorary nobleman like Nishier, there is a chance that he can be invited in by the masters of these villages.

After all, these nobles rarely go out now, bandits are rampant in the suburbs, and some powerful nobles are not worried about the safety of their own farms after they go out.

As a result, these aristocrats generally lived in poverty, and if they met a traveler who visited, they could listen to a story meeting and improve their poor nightlife.

Along the way, what Nishier wants to see most is the farm, if the nobles in the farm are hospitable nobles, it will be even better, with the eloquence and knowledge that he has practiced this year (mainly "The Rest of My Life"), he will definitely be able to scare them into a daze, and at this time, he can eat a little more.

Of course, not all nobles are hospitable, and Nishier has met some nobles who are not allowed to enter, and at this time, Nimuel has to hide under the fence of the farm for the night.

If you can reach the farm at night, even if the owner does not let you in, you should try to rest as close to the farm as possible, otherwise it is easy to have an accident. This knowledge, the scar on her back will always remind Nishiel not to forget it.

However, Nimuel is also a nobleman, and although those nobles don't let Niguer in, they rarely do things that don't even let Niguer rely on the fence.

In the fall, Nismuel and Dante finally made their way to Myrdal, where they were supposed to go to the Myrdal Pavilion to see if they could find any clues.

"Sister Nischel, why are you paying that person," Dante was still holding his hand by Nishiel, and Dante's face distorted as if the money was not Nimuel's but Dante's.

Ignoring Dante's eyes, Nispur touched Dante's head and explained, "You have to pay money to enter the city, if we don't have any special occupation or special status. ”

"I didn't have it when I went to Xingqimu!"

Dante hadn't been to the city much before, and in most cases, in order to save money, Nismuel used Dante's early warning ability to avoid danger and move forward in the wilderness.

So this time Nishiel paid the city tax, which would make Dante so unaccustomed - Dante has devil's blood, which can be seen that Dante has at least inherited the devil's bloodline.

"Ah, that's your adoptive father's care, David" Nismuel knew that Dante had another example to mention, so she retorted before he could speak, "Doleiman's words, I was not an ordinary person at that time, I was a mercenary accountant when I was not an officer, and I had a tax-free entry into the city. ”

"Besides, the old man gave him just a little money, and we have to save some money. ”

"Then it's good to pay all the money to enter the city, why do you have to give that damned, damned guard,"

Dante couldn't finish his sentence before he quickly covered his mouth with Nishiel.

After Dante shut up, Nishiel looked back nervously and was relieved to find that the guards were concentrating on observing whether there were any fat sheep entering the city, and they didn't notice it at all.

"Isn't it normal for those guards to be here every day to make a little extra money? In fact, you must know that I am still an honorary nobleman, and the tips they ask for me are actually discounted."

Bang!

The sound of a heavy object falling interrupted Niguel's persuasion, and Dante took the opportunity to pull Nimuel's hand away when she turned her head to see what was happening, but did not continue to scream.

"Such a shoddy way to make money, hum!" Dante muttered in his heart, and after discussing the group of guards for a while, Dante also looked curiously at the source of the sound that created the movement.

It was the goods of the Chamber of Commerce that fell, and the fall of this goods led to the exposure of the camouflage of this Chamber of Commerce, he was not a Chamber of Commerce composed of nobles, but a traditional Chamber of Commerce!

In fact, when the traditional chamber of commerce enters the city, unless there is a special requirement above, the guards are just routinely harsh, but this chamber of commerce actually disguises its own trademark in order to reduce the entrance fee to the guards, and from the perspective of this proficiency, this chamber of commerce is not the first time.

Seeing this scene, the guards were like hungry wolves with bones, their eyes lit up, and the guards who were still dumb a moment ago puffed up their chests in the blink of an eye and surrounded the convoy of the Chamber of Commerce.

The crowd chattered, the merchants begged for mercy, and the scene was chaotic and noisy.

But suddenly, a man in black came, and as this person appeared, the noise was as if the pause button had been pressed, and everyone stopped to look at the man in black.

This man in black is a member of the Merchant Accountability Investigation Bureau, the predecessor of the Merchant Loyalty Investigation Bureau.

The person in charge of this group of convoys hurriedly came over and begged the man in black for mercy: "Official, I came from Xingqimu, and it is not easy to run a business, please..."

The man in black ignored the other party's pleas for mercy and raised his hand to the other party's nose: "You are disloyal!"

"I—Where am I disloyal..." Although I had heard the way these people did things before, I thought it was an exaggeration. However, when it really happened now, the person in charge knew where there was an exaggeration.

"Today you camouflage the convoy, tomorrow you can camouflage the army! The man in black was suddenly stuck, and he remembered that he had been transferred from the south, and it was a little difficult for Myrdal and Goshoge to be so far apart.

However, since he has entered the Loyalty Investigation Bureau, such a thing as a cheek can naturally be thrown away casually, so the man in black pretended that he hadn't said anything before and continued to follow his train of thought.

"I suspect that you have fornicated with Sushi, and now I need you to come with us to verify your loyalty! All the guards in this defense area obey the order and detain his substances, you come with us. ”

Then, in the eyes of everyone's pity, the person in charge was dragged away by the man in black, and then went to loyalty.

Looking at the screaming person in charge, and the back of the man in black who was far away, Dante's eyes showed a bit of envy, and then Dante was slapped on the head by Niguel.

"Boil, what are you doing?" said Dante, holding his head, disgruntled to Nischer.

"Enough of it, David, it's time to get down to business, we need to change our plans, I've asked the others, the place of the noble lineage of Myrdal was destroyed in 1121, and the archives that were stored before, well... Nine times out of ten, it's lost. ”

"I knew that after so many years, this thing would not be so easy to succeed," Dante was not much surprised to hear the news.

"Also... The behavior of the man in black seems to be a little familiar to me, could it be the worship... No, it must be an illusion, right? ”
