Chapter 65: Xiongjia Village
In the night, Mo Fan turned his head to look at the little turtle following behind, and hurriedly squatted down when he thought of the scene just now: "Little turtle, you were not seriously injured just now." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The little turtle shook his head and nodded and walked to the front of Mo Fan, and a very shallow trace appeared on the back of the little turtle. Mo Fan's hand swept over the back of the little turtle, and traces of greenery gradually dissipated.
The pet keeper's behavior touched the soft place in his heart, and it was only at this time that Mo Fan completely accepted the existence of the little turtle. The turtle knight is the turtle knight, who stipulates that the traverser cannot accept the turtle as a pet.
The little turtle seemed to feel something, looked up at Mo Fan, and smiled involuntarily.
"Little turtle, we don't have a token, Gavin's manor refuses us to enter, and now food, clothing, housing and transportation have become a problem. So where do we go next, and where is my home in the middle of the world." Mo Fan was a little melancholy when he met Annie and them when he just crossed over, and then there was a series of battles, and the life was so compact and full that he naturally had no distractions. But at this time, in the dead of night, in the wilderness, thoughts spread like weeds, thinking of the unhappiness of this day, thinking of all kinds of things that happened after the crossing, and sighing in my heart. Raise your eyes and look around at the vast night, although the world is vast, where is your own place to stay.
The little turtle looked at Mo Fan suspiciously, unable to understand his mood at all, as a wild turtle born without parents, he had long been accustomed to the days when the sky was used as the bed and the earth was used. As for loneliness, I am accustomed to natural indifference.
After a long silence to regain his mood, Mo Fan looked around again and subconsciously asked the little turtle: "Little turtle has nowhere to go now, why don't you go back to Shengyan City directly, what do you think?"
The little turtle nodded, and the elemental power spread into a big turtle, motioning for Mo Fan to sit down. After Mo Fan was done, the little turtle suddenly realized something and stood straight and didn't move forward.
"Don't you know the direction ...... the turtle?" Looking at the little turtle's actions, Mo Fan instantly reacted, it turned out that it was also a road idiot like himself.
The little turtle nodded with an embarrassed look, but fortunately it was in the night that Mo Fan did not find out.
Mo Fan scratched his head and fell into hard thought, as if he had thought of something, looked at the little turtle sitting down, and then sighed again, "Even if you know the road, the city gate has long been closed." Little turtle, why don't you just go casually, just take a break."
When the little turtle heard this, he took a step, and because it was night, he did not see the scene of the scenery retreating, only a wisp of wind rushed towards him. After a while, there was a flash of fire in front of him, and because it was too far away, only the loose points of light of the stars could be seen.
"Hurry, hurry, let's go in and have a look." A village gradually revealed that Mo Fan was overjoyed in his heart, and patted the little turtle on the back. The little turtle heard the command to speed up again and ran directly to the entrance of the village.
The heavy whip slashed through the air only made people's hearts chill, and a villager stood at the entrance of the village with his eyes full of pleading. In front of the villagers was a man dressed as a family man, carrying a whip in his hand, and pacing back and forth with a group of guards armed with knives, full of ferocity on his face.
The caustic voice accompanied by the sound of the whip breaking through the air pierced through the dark night and penetrated into the ears of the villagers: "You poor ghosts have been talking about seeing the end of the month now, and now if you don't pay your taxes, you are ready to go to prison."
"You also saw a bad harvest last year, can you delay a few more days ......?" A villager looked embarrassed, and his brows gradually rose when he thought of the harvest in the village over the years.
The person dressed as a family member showed an exaggerated look: "Hey, hey...... Oh my God, it's a few more days in arrears. Village chief, tell me yourself, when did I collect taxes, but they were all last year, last year."
"Didn't we pay all the taxes last year, last year?" The village chief showed an embarrassed expression, but when he thought of those taxes, he could only sigh that the hearts of these people were too dark.
Jiading stopped and looked at the group of villagers in front of him with a disdainful expression: "What you said is the principal, as for the interest, should you also pay it?"
"You deceive people too much, our annual tax is only 50 gold, but you actually collect 500 gold from our whole village in a black heart." Xiong Gui came out of the crowd and shouted accusations at the angry family, he had really had enough of it in the past few months.
The village chief hurriedly shouted to stop Xiong Gui: "Gui'er must not be rude, don't give me a step down quickly." ā
"What a retreat, didn't he say he was going to study at the Imperial Capital Magic Academy last time I came? Why are you still here now, are you a powerful magician now?" The strange sound of yin and yang spread in the air, and the family put the whip behind his back, and his gaze gradually became cold.
Xiong Gui thought of what happened during today's test, and his expression couldn't help but feel a little low, and then his neck stiffened: "No...... No, but what if not, that's my own business."
"It's really self-conscious that just ordinary people still fantasize about soaring into the sky and turning into a dragon in an instant." Jia Ding snorted coldly, and the person in front of him looked like he was five big and three thick, but he was a mindless thorn. It is really stupid to be destined to be a civilian, who still refuses to accept his fate, and has always fantasized about becoming a warrior or a magician.
Xiong Gui was furious, but looking at the family in front of him and the group of sword-wielding guards behind him, he could only suppress his anger: "Not this year, there will be next year, the year after tomorrow, and one day it will be successful." I don't believe that I can't try the way to improve my qualifications."
"If you really try it, how can there be so many civilians in the world. Nonsense, you either have to pay the remaining four hundred and fifty gold, or go directly to the city with me to go to prison." The family looked at Xiong Gui as if he was bored, and threatened the villagers again.
The villagers all looked at the villagers and were full of sorrow, if this really went to prison, it would really be useless. The village chief was helpless as a civilian, what else could he do but beg: "Please do your good work in the grace period, if you want to get four hundred and fifty gold from the harvest in this field, I am afraid that it will be difficult."
"Do you know that last year, our Gray family spent a lot of money to buy a hundred miles of land outside the east gate. It's a huge cost, and when will you be able to fill the hole that you're dragging our family to." The family impatiently flicked the whip in the void, and the sound of breaking the sky sounded again.
Some of the villagers finally couldn't hold back their anger, and their tone unconsciously became a little heavier: "You people are too black-hearted, and the taxes have increased tenfold as soon as you come, how can we civilians live."
"Phew...... What bullshit Gray family, blackmailing us so much for taxes. Even if we knock our bones down one by one and sell them to the legendary necromancer, we won't be able to get so much gold."
"Everyone, can we afford to pay this tax? Do we have the money to teach?"
"Now that both horizontal and vertical are dead, we simply won't hand over ......."
"Yes, we won't pay it, let's see what they can do with us...... A villager thought of the embarrassment and hardship of being called for rent during this time, and his anger was instantly ignited.
Seeing that the villagers were about to riot, the family was angry for a while, but fortunately he was smart enough to bring enough manpower: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, you don't inquire, our Gray family is a marquis family that dominates a county." How dare you despise us like this, are you deceiving us and no one? Come on, give me a ...... beating."
The group of knife-wielding guards behind the family showed a fierce light one by one and pounced on the civilians in front. The territory of the marquis's family can have a county, which is not something that a commoner in a village can offend.
