Section 20 Pleasant onlookers
"Oh?" The tax officer turned around, a little surprised by Chen Yin's deep accent, but then suddenly realized: "You should be the 1-star ring holder who entered the town yesterday, right?" I heard you slaughtered four offal? β
"Yes, how?" Chen Yin felt a pang in his heart, want to find fault?
"Nothing." The tax officer shook his head, "With your status, no one will be held accountable for killing a few filthy people." But the freedmen in the town are the property of the lord, and everyone who pays taxes is protected by the lord, I say that, you understand? β
Although I wanted to say something like I don't offend people if they don't offend me, it's a pity that Chen Yin didn't know how to translate after thinking about it for a long time, and finally had to say: "No, I promise." β
The tax officer seemed to be very satisfied with Chen Yin's answer, and his attitude softened a little: "Your Excellency, did you just call me for something?" β
"How much is their family's tax?"
The tax officer was stunned: "Your Excellency, as a 1-star ring holder, you are exempt from tax in your skills. Do you really have to pay their taxes? β
Chen Yin shrugged.
"Hehe, which one of you just came out to visit, right?" The tax officer glanced at the dazzling shotgun on Chen Yin's shoulder again, "Forget it, young sir, you can't control this kind of thing." β
"Susan saved me." Chen Yin was a little impatient, "Say it, how much." β
"As you wish." The tax officer cocked his heels very gentlemanly and opened the leather paper roll he carried with him, "Li Dejia...... Li Dejia...... Over here. β
"Last quarter I had to pay two merozpi, or 1 silver coin and 13 coppers. Combined with the late fee of 5 copper, the total is 1 silver coin and 18 copper. β
Chen Yin took out a large handful of coins from his trouser pocket. He counted 18 copper coins and a silver coin and handed them to the tax collector, and asked, intentionally or unintentionally, "What are the taxes?" β
"For hunters, there is only a poll tax and a hunting tax. More recently, a dedication tax has been added. The tax officer thought that Chen Yin wanted to know the tax situation of Xiao Susan's family, so he only said the types of taxes that Orion had to pay.
"Offering tax? What is that? Chen Yin thought about it, but still asked this question.
"Oh? You don't know? The tax collector was a little surprised, but he still explained: "The seminary of the Evangelical See is open every five years, and it will be next year, so the lords everywhere are raising the consecration tax." β
"......" Chen Yin was a little afraid to ask, but he didn't expect to be timid to ask a random question.
Seeing Chen Yin's hesitation, the tax officer was a little relieved: "Oh, I know, you're from a certain federal country, right?" Hehe, there is indeed no evangelical church there, and naturally there will be no dedication tax. β
"Don't want to give, just ask for something in return, businessman...... Tsk, the dedication is ......" The tax officer stopped his mouth in the middle of speaking, "Speaking of which, little Susan, this kid would have had a chance to try." It's a pity that old Li De is no longer there...... Xiao Li De didn't leave a legacy and went...... Alas. β
Shaking his head and sighing, the tax collector took two militiamen and continued to walk back along the line.
"Thank you......" Little Susan, who had just been frightened by the tax officer, had only now recovered her strength.
"You don't have to say thank you all the time. You saved me, do I thank you? β
"Like...... No. Little Susan frowned and thought for a moment, "But I'm just showing you the way......"
"Huh." Chen Yin smiled, rubbed little Susan's head, and didn't say anything.
There are some things that you should keep in mind.
Chen Yin is used to this, and he has always thought so.
How a person does not look at him as he says, but as he does. Good communication skills will bring good impressions to people, but when it comes to interests, it will reflect a person's true thoughts. Although people are selfish, Chen Yin believes that only by not being greedy, not occupying, not being humble or arrogant, can he be worthy of his own heart, and the standard of making friends is naturally the same.
If little Susan just happened to save herself, Chen Yin could have paid him handsomelyβany gadget on him would have been worth a fortune in this unproductive worldβbut now, what little Susan had given him was a sincere innocence. And Chen Yin will naturally give back with sincerity.
In the face of sincerity, foreign objects such as money seem insignificant.
The two of them took water and walked back with a smile on their faces.
Suddenly, a noisy sound attracted Chen Yin's attention......
Seems to be another street?
Following the direction of the crowd, Chen Yin unconsciously followed along.
After all, humans are herd animals, and conformity is human instinct. After such a self-consolation referred to as "since hey, hey, hey", Chen Yin happily began the first onlooker of the alien journey. The crowd of onlookers welcomed the action and gave 32 thumbs up to the action.
Little Susan, who was sitting on Chen Yin's shoulder, was very happy, her position was not too good, and she could see everything clearly so much above the crowd.
Through the bustling crowd, Chen Yin saw two people being watched.
Two gangs of people, to be exact.
One of them was dressed in black and armor, with a big sword at his waist, and it looked organized. On the other side, there are leather lock cloth boards, the cloth on their bodies is also dirty and rotten, and the weapons are long spears and short bows, which look a bit like miscellaneous fish, but their momentum is still very strong, at least not those black armor.
In the center of the field, two men stood facing each other, as if preparing for a duel. One of them was also a black-armored greatsword, while the other was dressed in studded leather armor and wielding two long swords.
The attributes of the two are as follows:
"Name: Rioho-Ker.
Rank: Elite.
Class: Knight Squire.
Attributes: 2 Attack, 2 Defense, 2 Blood.
Genre: Melee.
Race: Human.
Skill:β"
"Name: Kerry
Rank: Elite.
Class: Warrior.
Attributes: 2 Attack, 1 Defense, 2 Blood.
Genre: Melee.
Race: Human.
Skill:β"
"The two swords are lost." After reading the attributes, Chen Yin pouted. It's all 2 attacks and 2 blood, while breaking the defense, and not breaking the defense, so it's still a fart? At least that's what Chen Yin thinks.
ββ¦β¦ You're just a squire, not a knight, what's the big deal!? Actually look down on our Blood Hand Mercenary Regiment!? The leather-armored warrior Kerry raised his sword in his hand and yelled at the black-armored knight squire.
"Poof." The squire Rio Ho-Que couldn't hold back his laughter, and then quickly forced his smile, took out a pure white handkerchief with lace and wiped the corners of his mouth, and raised his chin high, with a vague show off on his face. But his voice was very calm and gentle, as if he was learning to be like someone:
"My name is De, Rioho-k. 9 years of knightly squire. β
The knight squire seemed to care about the word "de" very much, and paused deliberately for his accentuated voice.
"Damn! The aristocracy is amazing!? β
A simple sentence seemed to stimulate the warrior Kerry, and he turned pale with anger and simply didn't say a word, picked up his double swords and rushed towards the knight's squire......
The battle broke out!
