Chapter 6 Acting in Embarrassment
A series of accidents and accidents that occurred early in the morning made everyone in the caravan panic, and several stewards approached Nord and suggested that they should leave early.
Nord is in the right place, and he will make a decision right away.
As long as he thought of what Gamore said, there might be two seventh-order professionals fighting nearby, Nord felt his legs and stomach tremble uncontrollably.
Under repeated urging, the caravan hurriedly set out on the road, and it was not until after half a day's journey that there were no more accidents, and Nord's heart hanging in mid-air fell back into his chest.
The frozen rabbit in the game has become a demon in this world because of the crossing, so what has happened to the light brain that has crossed with him? Chen Yue has been studying this problem for the past few days, when he first crossed, the light brain seemed to have been hurt in some way during the crossing, and there was no reaction at all, but after the demon summoning, he finally reacted. It's a pity that the access point kept flashing red, and it didn't allow Chen Yue to enter the virtual space, and I don't know what happened to it.
Due to his coma that day, Chen Yue didn't see a force flying into the corner, which was where he stored his light brain, otherwise he would definitely link the change of the light brain with that summoning.
But what made Chen Yue excited was that after a few days of observation, he found that the red light was a little dimmed, and he thought that he would be able to know the changes in the light brain after it completely recovered to its original state.
In the next few days, the caravan was calm, and a few people who were gloating wanted to watch Chen Yue's good show, but they didn't expect Gamore to come forward to trouble Chen Yue as if nothing had happened, which made many people suspicious and a little jealous of Chen Yue.
Invisibly, Chen Yue's status in the caravan was a few points higher.
Judging from the attitudes of some people, Chen Yue quickly felt this.
"Chen Yue, I'm going to exercise again. At the gate of the camp, the guards greeted them warmly, with smiles on their faces. You must know that in the past, every time Chen Yue came in and out, he nodded with a cold face at most, even if he had said hello, he still looked like he was ignoring, sometimes on a whim, maybe he would be a little embarrassed.
But now, not only do you say hello from afar, but you can melt people with a warm attitude.
Inside the camp, most of them were smiling, and the indescribable friendliness in their eyes was completely different from the previous treatment.
That's the difference that comes with status.
Chen Yue understands that this is still a change they thought they had made because they were profound, and if these people knew the identity of their apostles, they would probably have a more enthusiastic attitude, and they would probably want to kneel down and kiss the soles of their feet.
Disdainful of seeing the disgusting faces of these people, Chen Yue concealed his identity as an apostle, and at his strong request, Ling Yue'er also agreed to help him hide it.
After experiencing an unforgettable summoning incident, Ling Yue'er was extremely remorseful in her heart, and she hated her for her random ideas, and finally calmed down under Chen Yue's comfort, and in the past few days, she has also obeyed Chen Yue's words.
Under the silence of the two, no one knew that there was an additional apostle in the caravan.
After a long time, in the afternoon, everyone was excited, and the first target of the caravan: Chia City arrived.
Chia City was an indispensable link on the trade route, and the caravans had a large number of goods to sell in Chia City, and they also had to purchase a number of local products in the city to transport to other places.
Outside the southern gates, the caravan stopped, and several pipes entered the city in advance, and an hour later, entered the camp with a group of people.
Ling Yue'er and Chen Yue stood side by side, looking at this group of people dressed up in the city defense army of Qia City, at the front was a fat man who could be comparable to Nord, and beside him was a middle-aged man dressed as a clerk, both of them were full of arrogance, and they looked like they were ignoring it, surrounded by several stewards like stars and moons.
"Brother Chen Yue, the fat man in the middle is the financial manager of Qiya City, this person is the most annoying, every time he is him, he wants to deduct a large amount of taxes from us. Seeing this group of people, Ling Yue'er couldn't help but show disgust.
She held a snow-white and cute rabbit in her arms, and teased her a few times from time to time. After converging the aura of life, from the outside, no one could tell that the rabbit was a demon. After the successful summoning, Chen Yue instructed the frozen rabbit to come like a finger, and obediently collected the cold air that escaped, the frozen rabbit was extremely cool to hold, and Ling Yue'er couldn't put it down, hugging it all day long.
Chen Yue nodded understandingly, the tax is paid before entering the city, and the caravan goods are estimated by special personnel, and taxes are collected according to the approximate profits, of course, the estimated profits are floating, but listening to Ling Yue'er's words, this fat man should pick inflated profits to collect taxes, which is hateful.
The merchants took out their goods, and no one dared to hide them, and if they tried to hide their valuables from taxes, after being found in the city, the fine alone was enough to ruin the family.
Nord greeted him tightly, greeting the chief financial officer with a smile on his face, seeing that the other party did not respond at all, his face stiffened, and he stuffed a money bag very vaguely.
Weighing the weight in his hand, the financial manager showed a little satisfaction on his fat face, glanced at Nord with a look of "you are very good", and glanced at the clerk next to him, the man nodded knowingly, and immediately led a team of city defense troops to check the goods on both sides.
After some trivial calculations, the clerk reported the estimated profit.
Shaking the paper full of data, the financial manager showed surprise: "Nord, you have a lot more goods than usual on this trip, but friendship is friendship, this tax is set by the empire, not a penny is missing, 1536 gold coins, when are you going to pay?"
The crowd immediately focused their attention on Nord's fat face.
Usually at this time, it was the most difficult moment, and Nord was as uncomfortable as if a large piece of flesh had been cut by a knife, but at this moment, the treasurer actually saw a trace of calmness on his face.
What the hell, the manager muttered to himself.
"Your Excellency, Steward. Straightening up the bucket waist, Nord smiled, and his fat face was indescribably calm: "This time the villain is fortunate to invite a noble magician to accompany him, you see, according to the laws of the empire......"
"What, magician?" the treasurer trembled, his arrogant expression was gone, and he immediately understood, no wonder this kid was so calm, it turned out that he had found a backer.
"Quick, take me there. Hurriedly grabbed Nord, and the financial manager did not dare to slack off.
The privileged class is the privileged class, although they are not small in Chia City, they are psychologically shorter than others, although these fighters and magicians are only keen to improve their own strength, but it is hard to guarantee that they will not encounter one or two exceptions.
How dare Nord let him invite him personally, there will be many days of dating in the future, but how can he be lucky to have a magician accompany him every time, or invite the two masters and servants of Gamore out by himself.
Gamore was dressed in a formal suit, a beautiful magic robe, and two stars on his chest, representing his professional rank.
Seeing that Gamore was only a second-order magician, the financial manager breathed a sigh of relief, and it was not just a privileged class that asked him to grovel, the privileged class was only their status, but few people would be directly in power, and a first- and second-order junior professional like this would be treated equally.
Stretching out his hand to beckon the clerk, the treasurer personally instructed: "Since there is a magician accompanying him, according to the laws of the empire, only 30% of the tax is collected, you calculate the number......"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Gamor.
"Wait, tax cuts, what's going on?" Gamore, waving his arms, exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, "President Nord, you've never told me that before." ”
"How...... What?" looked blankly at the "excited" Gamore, and Nord's expression was very innocent.
Everyone was stunned by Gamore's inexplicable play, and no one reacted for a while.
In the distance, Chen Yue snorted disdainfully, he knew that Gamore was starting to make trouble.
The treasurer's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly: "According to the laws of the empire, the caravan invites a magician to accompany it, and the details need to be informed, Nord, what's going on?"
"Lord Steward, this ......" sweat kept running on his head, and Nord didn't have the heart to wipe it: "Lord Gamore, didn't we say yes, you took 300 gold coins......"
"Nonsense, I'm going to be greedy for you for such a little money?" Gamore interrupted with a cold face, ignoring the sweaty Nord, he looked at the treasurer: "Lord Steward, I went out with my entourage, and I was about to arrive in Chia City, and on the way, I met this caravan that warmly entertained me and invited me to go all the way, I didn't think much about it, I didn't expect President Nord to hit this idea, it's really shrewd, hum." ”
"Poof. Nord's legs went limp, and he sat down on the ground, his chest rising and falling violently, pointing at Gamore and speechless.
Being bitten by him like this is a big crime.
"Breaking the laws of the Empire, and knowingly committing it. Smiling coldly, ignoring the uproar, the financial manager waved his hand back, and his voice was indescribably cold: "Arrest all of them, all the goods, confiscate." ”
Gamore smiled smugly, yes, his lies are full of loopholes, so what, with his privileged status, it is not easy to think of a whole group of civilians, let alone such a good excuse.
The treasurer is not stupid, a pair of eyes are very poisonous, and it can be seen at a glance whether the caravan and Gamore are real or fake, but a group of civilians and privileged people, people with brains know what to do.
The camp was in chaos, and the merchants cried and clung to their goods, but they could not beat the wolf-like city defenses.
"Haha~~"
The sudden sneer attracted everyone's attention.
"What is meant by embarrassment, I finally saw it today. The corners of his mouth curved an arc, and Chen Yue's expression was indescribably ridiculed......
