After putting away the gold contribution, Penny's smile returned.

"Mr. Loki, in light of your particular experience, on behalf of the Silver Flame Sect, I would like to state that there may be more trouble for you in the future. ”

The half-elf frowned, he knew it wasn't that simple.

Otherwise, the high church sacrifice will come all the way to heal a half-elf adventurer for two gold coins?

At this time, there was a sound of arguing and arguing in the business area of the weapons shop across several walls.

Loki pushed the door open and walked out, seeing Pigou the dwarf with an angry face, and across from him were faces familiar to all of Senkin, the tax collector and a few militiamen who followed him.

"Mr. Tax Officer, your tax is an unreasonable demand, and I will not pay an extra copper for it......"

Tax Officer Luo said solemnly: "Mr. Dwarf, you have to make it clear that paying taxes, especially commercial taxes, is the obligation of the merchant residents of Senjin Town. ”

"This is the rule of the town department, and I also act according to the rules, don't think that you can mess around with the money you have made recently. ”

Loki asked a hired blacksmith who had come early next to him to ask that the weapon store had not only collected taxes, but had been brought forward.

In addition, other taxes have been added, such as taxes based on the number of employees and the size of the shop, which were not available before.

Anyone can see that Rosen, the tax officer with a calm face, obviously came with bad intentions.

"It's just a matter of collecting taxes some time in advance, which is fair, dwarf, didn't you owe money for some time before? ”

The dwarf Pigou slammed the table angrily and said, "What about the other, the so-called commercial poll tax, the business house tax? ”

The tax officer smiled patiently and explained casually: "The blacksmith you hired was originally related to business. You can ignore this business tax, then fire them, and I will ask each of them for the ...... of this tax."

What kind of reason is this, a tax collector with a little aristocratic background, he can find his own reason no matter how he wants to explain it.

Loki waved his hand, stopping the dwarf who was about to argue angrily, and stepped forward.

"Mr. Rosen Charcha, you should know that our weapons shop is a small profit, and we cannot afford to accept a little commercial tax beyond itself. ”

The fat tax collector glanced at him, but then at the man who came out from behind the half-elf.

It was a priestess dressed in a silver silk white robe, and the tax collector hurriedly greeted her warmly.

"It's Pastor Penny, I must have met the lucky bird when I went out today, and I didn't expect to see you here. ”

Penny Priest said with a flat expression: "I'm sorry, the Silver Flame Church does not have the position of pastor, and some are only pre-Old Testament titles, Penny Sacrifice." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, Penny, I think I'm mistaken, what are you doing here?"

The priestess said with a calm expression: "The affairs of the Silver Flame Church only need the Silver Flame Goddess to know. You still pay attention to what's in front of you. ”

The tax officer's face was a little unpleasant, so he turned his head, glanced at Loki, and said impatiently.

"It's you, half-elf, what were you going to say?"

Loki took a steel crossbow from the shelf, and as if showing it to the people around him, he easily pulled the crossbow string with one hand and installed the crossbow bolt.

He said, "The Brute Hammer Weapon Shop is the only one that really sells well, and it has an effective firing range of at least sixty paces, and if I want to use it, it will be farther and more accurate." ”

The tax officer's face was gloomy, and he said sternly.

"What do you mean, half-elf, to threaten a nobleman?"

Loki turned his head, looked at the priestess with a flat face, and said, "Penny Priest can testify, and I can also call in a few church knight guards." I'm just going to talk about the taxes you're going to charge and what kind of best-selling items you're going to get from. ”

As if to show his innocence, he removed the bolt from above.

Then he explained: "The advantages of the steel crossbow are that it is easy to use with less effort when wound, and it increases the range and power of the shot. ”

"It was with it that I was approved as a level 9 crossbow archer adventurer in the adventure guild with the strength of only an apprentice. ”

Divided by the bloodline ability of the professional, the official first-order professional is level 6~10, and the adventure union does not have an intuitive bloodline strength test, can only be evaluated by some simple standards, although the adventure union may be rough, but it is not far from the real ability of the adventurer.

A level 9 crossbow archer, could it be that with the strength of a half-elf apprentice, is it really only that steel crossbow with a strange round wheel?

Rosen Charcha said in a deep voice, "What the hell are you going to say? Half-elf ......"

Loki's fingers gently snapped into the bracket, and the taut strings of the steel crossbow snapped instantly, making a 'buzzing' sound.

"The best part is that it doesn't need to fire a crossbow bolt. ”

"In other words, steel balls, copper balls, or even smaller stones can shoot through the skulls of humanoids within a certain range. ”

The tax collector smashed the cup in his hand and said, "You are threatening a nobleman to defy the town office." ”

The dwarf Pigou stood aside and said even louder, "And the axe on my shelf, that's my usual weapon, you can see this as a threat to the dwarves......"

Penny interrupted, "Alright, stop arguing, Mr. Charcha, since you are a lord, you should have the demeanor of a nobleman, this adventurer, did not say anything threatening. ”

With the voice of the priestess of the Silver Flame, many of the church's guards and knights gathered around her, faithfully protecting Priest Penny.

The tax collector stood up with a gloomy face, glanced around, and then fixed his eyes on Loki Dao.

"Half-elf, you should be an adventurer, you should not fight against the right of nobles to collect taxes, now I will always remember you. ”

After speaking, with a few entourage militiamen, one by one kicked open the door and left without looking back.

Loki smiled behind him and said, "Then welcome Mr. Tax Officer, next time you will collect taxes in the normal way." ”

Penny Priest glanced at him and sighed, "Mr. Loki, he's right, you really should be careful. ”

"This tax collector, though only a nobleman of the lowest rank, is from Dianze County, and you should have heard of whose territory it is. ”

Loki frowned, "The Earl's domain?"

The priestess nodded and said, "That's right, Count Albert Fish, that's the background of what you call 'that fat man'. ”

If you talk about the small human towns that are close to Senjin Town, any adventurer can name a few, such as: Ganglan Territory City, Fog Castle City, Bluewater City......

But if it is said that the aristocratic territory is closer to Senjin Town, then the first impression of adventurers is Blackstone County.

Blackstone County, said to be named after the large area of strange black cobblestones in its territory, is located near the south bank of the Cooper Changhe River, east of Fog Castle City, and has frequent trade with Senjin Town.

Blackstone County is the family domain of Earl Albert Fish, and it is also a powerful nobleman in the surrounding area, and the noble title is not low, and it is said that there is a glorious heritage.
