Chapter Twenty-Nine: No matter how powerful the lion is, there is a time to sleep [Ask for recommendation votes and collections!] 】
"Let's go! Hurry up, they're running back again! A child shouted to his companion.
"Did the knights run back again? It's only been less than half an hour, and you've finished a lap around Nafu City? ”
"Don't say it, hurry up, if you slow down, they'll run over, and we won't be able to catch up to see it." The boy hurriedly pulled his companion and ran in the direction of the city gate.
The rest of the idle adults also walked over, and these days they were not awakened by the alarm clock at home, but by the running sound of the knights outside the city gates, and every five or six o'clock in the morning, neat shouts came from outside the city gates.
"One-two-one!"
"One-two-one!"
Outside the city gate, a group of knights in heavy armor were striding forward with strange steps, although the pace was strange, but the speed was unusually fast, and they ran dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye.
And behind them, Khante, who was the captain of the knights, also chased after them with a whip in his hand, wearing huge and heavy armor.
"Run fast for me, if you fall, you'll have to eat me with a whip!"
After shouting this, the speed of the bunnies in front of them increased a lot, and Hunter also showed a knowing smile.
This exercise is still the law exercise that the lord gave him at the beginning, although he knew that it should not be underestimated, but he didn't expect the effect to be so great, these teenagers were carrying nearly 100 catties of armor, but the speed was already comparable to that of horses running at full strength.
If the armor was removed, the professional Assassin would be even faster, and not only fast, but also not to be underestimated in terms of flexibility.
Hunter licked his lips, looked at the teenagers running hard in front of him, and suddenly accelerated to chase after them.
A flick of the whip left a few extreme pains in front of the lagging ones, but it did not leave the whip marks of the injury.
Then he went backwards and backwards, and suddenly rushed to the front of the team, shouting: "Take a good look!" I'm running backwards faster than you, so keep running with all my strength! ”
The teenagers brushed up and said, "Yes! ”
Hunter nodded with satisfaction, and said secretly in his heart: It's thanks to Lao Tzu who stays up late every day to practice this exercise, otherwise he won't be able to catch up with you rabbit cubs.
The teenagers who were chased by Hunter with a whip did not have the slightest complaint in their hearts, most of them originally came from the village, not as pampered as the children of rich and noble families, and this was their dream, it was too late to rush to it, how could they be disgusted.
Moreover, the captain also told them that the two cultivation methods they practiced were specially researched by the lord and specially given to them to cultivate.
There is no such cultivation method in other places, which allows people to quickly cultivate the cultivation method of fighting energy, as well as the body method that increases speed and flexibility.
This made them feel an incomparable sense of pride and honor in their hearts.
Hum! What do you have? We have two cultivation methods that have been personally researched by our masters, which can not only quickly cultivate our fighting qi but also speed up our speed, and your turtle territory must not have this kind of magical cultivation method.
Under this psychology, everyone's pride and sense of identity with the viscount slowly rose subtly, but the loyalty to Claire did not rise much, because being recruited as a knight was almost at the top.
"Dadada!"
The footsteps of the knights gradually became quieter, and their figures gradually disappeared from the sight of the people.
"Harm, I ran over again, so fast, they can run so fast in such heavy armor." A child loses his excitement in an instant.
"I envy them so much, I want to become a knight like them in the future!"
"Hmph, you can't do it, I'm the only one who can become a knight like them!"
"I can! You can't! ”
"It's actually me! You can't! ”
"Then let's duel!"
"Come on!"
The two children scuffled together with sticks, but soon the two underage knights were beaten to tears by their mother, who had arrived by herself.
"Woo woo, you wait for me, we'll duel again when my mom is gone!"
"It's a deal! Woooooo The other child also reached out to wipe his tears.
……
"One-two-one!"
"One-two-one!"
"Smack!" A loud sound of slapping the table sounded, and Baron Eugene frowned and said, "It's annoying, won't these knights get tired if they train every day!" ”
"Hmph, I think he's warning us." Lord Wilbur said coldly.
"He's just warning us, the little movements are starting to move." A lord and aristocrat sitting across the couch also spoke.
This room was filled with all the nobles and merchants of Nafu City, including the political officials who had been under Claire's command.
"That's right, wasn't Baron Eugene's clinic seized by him before, who in the whole of Nafu City didn't know that the clinic was opened by Baron Eugene, he didn't give any face when he sealed it, and even returned all the money to those untouchables."
Claire collected the medical bills and did not put them in her own coffers, but gave them to the tax collector Robin for him to deal with, and returned the gold coins to the people who had come to the clinic before for treatment.
"Humph!" Baron Eugene let out a cold snort, and when he mentioned it, he was angry, and slammed the table again. "What kind of viscount is he! I don't even know how to be a nobleman, I don't go with us but I also get together with those untouchables, I heard what he gave at the city gate a few days ago, it's really funny, nobles are nobles, can you get together with those untouchables! ”
"What Baron Eugene said makes sense, what bullshit Viscount can't even be a nobleman, and when he comes back, we don't want to share some money with him, so why bother to deal with us! He also appointed a pariah to become some kind of bullshit tax officer, I really can't figure out what he thinks. ”
These days, the shops and entertainment venues under the hands of these nobles have been inspected by Robin and others, and they have been forced to make up for the missed taxes, and watching the gold coins in their hands flow into other people's pockets, this group of stingy aristocrats are eager to swallow Claire alive.
"Don't talk about that yet." Frank, the administrative officer, said: "The tax collector has also found out about me, and I have issued the previous tax increase decrees, and the money collected is also divided equally among everyone, and he has taken away all the account books, and it is estimated that it will not be a few days before we can find out how many gold coins we have embezzled." Let's talk about what to do. ”
"You did the decree alone, and you don't want to rely on us." Lord Wilbur immediately wanted to dissociate himself from the relationship.
The other nobles also kept their mouths shut, not wanting to have anything to do with this matter, anyway, the decree was issued by you, and we didn't force you to promulgate it, how do I know that the money came from those untouchables, if you give it to me, I will ask for it, and what does it matter to me about the increased taxes.
"You!" Frank, the political officer, angrily pointed at the other party's nose and scolded: "Didn't you take the money!" Now that something has happened, you want me to fight alone?! I don't care about you! ”
Lord Wilbur tried to go back, but was stopped by Baron Eugene.
"Okay, is it useful to keep arguing like this! Frank has a point, we've taken all the money, and if something happens, he'll never let us go! ”
Wilbur grimaced, "Then what do you say to do?" ”
A cold glint flashed in Eugene's eyes, and he said coldly: "Since the problem can't be solved, then solve the person who found the problem!" ”
The nobles present were stunned and asked, "You mean to kill the new tax collector?" ”
"That's right! That's right! ”
Everyone present looked at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces.
Frank suddenly interrupted: "No, this can only be postponed temporarily, if you want to really solve this matter, you have to ......" After saying this, Frank closed his mouth, but everyone knew what he wanted to say later.
Baron Eugene's eyes narrowed, "Did you know he had that magic weapon in his hand?" ”
"Even the mightiest lion has a time to sleep, doesn't it?" Frank replied with a smile.
"Hahaha, that's right!"
For a while, the room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and they seemed to see the happiness of their previous life.
