Chapter 6: The Stone and the Old Man

What if Ziggy doesn't accept the appointment of the village chief? What if Ziggy finds out that Grizzly Village can't stay and runs away? I'm sorry, Ziggy will be guilty of contempt for the imperial power, and will be imprisoned in the Jesdian prison, which is dedicated to the nobles!

When the time comes, whether Zig will live or die in prison is not up to Princess Bianca, the vicious stepmother, who will say? No! Wrong! It is Princess Bianca who wants Ziggy to die, and Zig will have to die!

I can't go back, the big pit of the head of Grizzly Village, Zig has to jump down no matter what, otherwise the entire Holy Odin Empire will no longer have a place for him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is said that a long time ago, when human beings were still in the era of city-states, it was a strategic place to defend against northern enemies, because the Holy Sword Pass is the only valley between the two highest mountains in the Odin continent, and this valley is an important passage from the grassland to the hinterland of the Holy Odin Empire.

However, the humans in the city-state era were not guarding against the steppe orcs at the Holy Sword Pass, but a more formidable enemy, the Immortal Empire.

As for what the Immortal Empire is, Ziggy doesn't know, because the original Ziggy is abused by Princess Bianca, the vicious stepmother, every day, how can he have time to understand this, he can know about this mysterious Immortal Empire, which he knew from a book called "Odin Continent Travels" when he was idle and reading books during his trip to the north this time.

This "Odin Continent Travels" is written by a bard, and it mentions the Immortal Empire once, calling the Immortal Empire an evil empire, but it does not say what the Immortal Empire is.

What the bard wrote, it was more romantic poetry, and naturally I didn't say what kind of government or creature the Immortal Empire was.

Sometimes literature that celebrates war is like this, often describing only how heroic their own people are, but not saying a word about how fierce the enemy is.

The book only mentions that the human race, which was still in the era of the city-state at that time, fought against the Immortal Empire for three hundred years, which was called the Dark Ages by mankind, and finally a beautiful and heroic heroine led the human army to launch a large-scale counterattack to completely destroy the Immortal Empire.

This battle is called "The Battle of the Dawn of Dawn" in the book "Odin's Travels to the Continent".

The tall silhouette of that beautiful heroine still stands on the cliff on the left side of the Holy Sword Pass Canyon, and her silhouette is twenty stories high, like a goddess who guards mankind, quietly gazing at the north.

......

After leaving the Holy Sword Pass, it took about half a month for Ziggy to come to his destination, Grizzly Village.

However, when Ziggy and his party arrived at Grizzly Village, they immediately experienced an unexpected event.

When Ziggy finished reading the letter of appointment of the village chief of the empire, the villagers of Grizzly immediately kicked Ziggy out with stones!

All the villagers of Grizzly Bear Village, whether it was an old man, a child, or a peasant woman, picked up the stones under their feet nearby, and threw them at Zig angrily, and the large and small stones were like rain, smashing Zig into a mouse! Zig and his party of ten, plus a minotaur slave Dwayne Johnson, were smashed out of Grizzly Village by a continuous stream of stones.

Ziggy is inexplicable!

What's going on?

Ziggy was puzzled: I'm the first time I've been to this village, I haven't offended anyone in this village, is it because I'm too ugly? Even if I'm ugly, I won't attract so many people to stone me, right?

There was no way, Zig and his party of eleven people temporarily set up tents and bonfires in the field near the village.

Of course, Ziggy can't take revenge on those villagers, and if he suffers a little loss, he will immediately retaliate back, that is what Xiao Young did, and that is the plot of the book in which a primary school student collapsed a school building with one punch.

Moreover, isn't this the time to kill villagers and kill them when playing online games? Kill villagers, and still can't take on tasks? The plot is still not progressing?What? You have always wanted to try to kill those villager NPCs, so that they can always assign tasks to you? Actually, I understand your feelings, when the author himself plays games, he often wants to kill villagers to play, but the system settings can't kill it!

Villagers can't be killed casually, if you really go back to kill the villagers, the book can't be called "Crossing the Other World to Be the Village Chief", but should be called "How an Ugly Man Became a Perverted Murderer in the Other World", and then hit the street, sinking into the countless street fighting online articles on the destination website, and I can't raise my head for the rest of my life.

Since you can't go back and get revenge on the villagers, you have to find out why the villagers don't welcome Ziggy so much that they even hit Qige with stones together.

"Biden, you're the captain, what do you say is going on?" Ziggy rubbed his swollen head, gritted his teeth in pain, and asked Biden, who was the captain of Zige's guard, for his opinion on the matter.

"I don't know!" the bearded Biden replied very simply, Biden is a soldier, and analyzing this kind of strange thing of being smashed with stones by the villagers as soon as he enters the village and then being driven out is really not the strength of the outspoken Captain Biden.

It seemed that discussing this issue with the existing staff would not be able to discuss anything, but Ziggy's intuition told him that these villagers were not vicious people, and judging by their angry appearances, they might even be some simple and good people, maybe they had suffered some kind of grievances.

However, there have always been one or two traitors in a group of good people, which is why there are always traitors, and sure enough, when Qige was cooking on the fire, two villagers raped him, and he was ...... No, it was two villagers, an old man and a young man, who came out of the village alley.

"You're the new village chief?" said the old man, with his beard white, speaking slowly in an unhurried tone.

"Yes, this is my warrant!" Ziggy couldn't help it, rubbing his swollen head, and pulling the letter of attorney out of the bag in the carriage, it was the most powerful proof of Ziggy's identity.

"Please, go, don't come again, our village can't afford to pay the war tax anymore!" the old man said pleadingly, but his attitude was not at all respectful.

"War tax", Ziggy knew about this tax.

The so-called "war tax" is a tax that must be paid in such special circumstances during wartime, which is a special tax law stipulated by the Holy Odin Empire, for the knights of the lowest nobles.

As the lowest noble, the knight has no fiefdom, only a relatively large manor of his own, the knight himself has to rely on his own financial resources to prepare a set of stainless steel armor and a war horse, the armor can not be the chain mail kind of big road goods, must be a hard cuirass made of the whole piece of stainless steel, in order to prevent the enemy's bow and arrows, otherwise as soon as they go to the battlefield, they will be shot down, and what kind of charge is there, the war horse usually has to be fed with fine grain, so that the war horse is obedient when it goes to the battlefield, and the strength is also strong when charging, but a knight's set of armor and weapons is already very expensive, and many low-level nobles are just a set of armor and a war horse for a lifetime。
