Lin said: "A baronial family, can afford such pomp? "Whether it's a seasoned-looking veteran magician and eight well-armed knights, or a family crest set with gems, it comes at a price. And if a baronial family only lives on territory, it really can't afford it unless there is a mine at home. And it would have to be a gold mine.

"Their family is dedicated to helping my old man collect taxes, the taxes of the royal manor and the knights directly under him. Or that no matter who becomes emperor, Muhashebesin is the one who is best at collecting taxes. ”

Well, that's better than having a mine at home.

Do you know which is the strongest law enforcement agency of Magnesium Emperor? It's not the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), it's not the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), it's not the PD (Police Department) everywhere, it's not the USPS (United States Postal Service), and certainly not the MIB (...... Who else is the group that is in charge of aliens), but the IRS (Internal Revenue Service)!

It is said that the country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is a country founded on capitalism and the chaebol controls everything. Rich people represent omnipotence, and no judge has the means to convict them, even if it is a crime. Because of these fathers of financiers, it is easy to organize an all-star lawyer team, and truly turn big things into small things and small things into nothing. But the IRS is specifically designed to deal with these rich people!

And no matter how brilliant the IRS is in the country of Emperor Magnesium, or whether it is another deflated organization that does not dare to touch the tiger's ass and only dares to invade below the middle class. The tax collector with the same role is fascinated, and it is definitely a fat gap that everyone hates ghosts and hates, but everyone yearns for.

can occupy this position for generations, not to mention whether their family is making a lot of money, and they can't sit still without some real skills.

The first priority for tax collectors is to pass the test with combat strength. In addition to being able to 'convince' tenants and vassals with their fists when necessary, it is also necessary to ensure that the recovered taxes can be safely returned to the Emperor's small treasury and not robbed by half-way robbers. Then there's the acumen for money.

Hearing the other party point out the identity and background of his master, the old magician wanted to threaten the other party as usual: We are royal people, who has the courage to challenge the emperor's authority. This kind of thing can be said to anyone, and it is invincible, but it just can't be said to people in the royal family.

It is normal to rebel against the lord and kill him on the spot, otherwise he will have a grudge. If you don't care about it, you're afraid that you will always take on some thankless tasks and always wear small shoes. As the elder of the side branch of the family, the old magician can't make such a mistake that will bring trouble to the family except for taking care of the juniors.

Not to mention that on the day when it was announced that the crown prince would take over as the prime minister of the empire, the old emperor's sincerity towards his fourteenth son made everyone dare not regard this one as a prince who had lost power, and everyone could be bullied. On the contrary, as long as this one has the slightest will, he will be the next leader of the empire, and there will be no accidents, and no one will dare to oppose it.

The best case scenario is for him to live far away and happily, and to be so happy that he forgets that there is such a thing as an emperor. Anyway, he himself was not here, and he had never had any covetous attitude towards the throne that everyone coveted. But I'm afraid of this whim. Everyone will be afraid of this prince, isn't it because his personality is unpredictable, and no one can control it.

So the old magician regretted it. I regret that when this nephew's child had thoughts about the beauties on the road, he said a lot, and the magic robe on the young magician was also a rare good thing. Although the beauty is beautiful, although the robe is precious, all this is not as dangerous as the prince. I just hope that the other party will save people, not to kill people in other ways.

Lin had no interest in the psychology of the old magician at all. Even if the box can be easily detected when the box is cut in the hand, Lin has never thought of using the box cut to figure out everyone's attitude. He just patted the young man on the cheek and said, "So, young man from Baron Muhashebesi's family, may I know your name?" Or are you going to sit here all the time and not speak? ”

This kind of action finally made this aristocratic young man return to his soul a little. He touched the position where he had just kicked him, and said in a daze, "You just kicked me, it hurts." ”

"Well, I'll pay attention next time. When a sword is about to slash through your neck, I'll watch it cut your throat and come to your rescue. Lin got up and said to Azad, "Then, do you want to try it now?" I've always done what I said. ”

"Nope. If you want me to do it, I won't. Azad made a gesture of his little daughter, pouted, puffed out his cheeks and refused.

Someone felt the chill again. I endured the urge to summon the Khan and slashed the goods. On the one hand, it is also because the aristocratic young man who understands his situation is holding on to the hem of someone's robe, and his desire to survive is strong. He forced a smile on his face, got up, and said, "Your Excellency, I am from Muhashebesi's family...... Well, now it's the eldest son. My name is Efron? Muha Shebesi. Don't know what I can do for you? ”

For this strange person who ignored his wet pants and was able to speak seriously, Lin felt a little admiration in his heart. Although there is a slight guess that he will do the strange thing before.

For example, the eldest brother died, and suddenly ascended to the throne, and he was in such a strong, although it was only a fox and ,——a fake tiger, and under the influence of alcohol, so he wanted to try the power in his hands. It turned out to be a kick to the iron plate. But whether the truth is the same as his own guess, Lin did not want to verify it from the young man in front of him.

Anyway, this guy will only become a trick in his journey, so he doesn't need to fight with the other party, and even go to his bottom and ask what that stupid head is thinking. Lin asked directly: "I'm looking for the temple of the goddess of gold coins, do you know the location?" ”

"The goddess of gold coins, Keyin? Yes, of course I know the location of His Temple. Oh no, it's not that I know, it's my family that has a record. It was a small, slum-better house, with a few icons, a few overly old priests with a few young children. It's just that although he is the goddess of 'gold coins', in fact, their cash box is empty enough to run mice. Your Excellency, if you want to replace it, there may be better alternatives to other lesser powers. But if you insist on finding him, allow me to send my loyal knight back to obtain a definite map message, and I will lead you myself. ”

Look, this kid is not as embarrassed as he looks, but he is still a little clever. Lin nodded in agreement: "Okay, just do as you say." So are we waiting here now? Still is? ”

After receiving permission, the noble youth just waved his hand and asked the old magician to arrange for someone to go back. And this faction is that the four knights are fast horses returning, completely ignoring that they are in a densely populated city.

The aristocratic young man Efren waved his hand and invited, "Three, please get into the carriage." As we waited for a message from my family, we moved towards the XC sector. All shrines, both large and small, are only allowed to be built in Sector XC. There are no temples to be found here in DC. ”

Someone's eyes couldn't help but drift towards a certain prince who had been circling around the eastern city with him. "I heard that this is the place where you run it."

"yes. But this kind of little thing, I don't know, is a normal thing, okay. ”

This made a certain magician speechless. Fortunately, Lin never expected this person to be a competent leader from the beginning. The Fourteenth Prince Azad? The real role of Kazarnia is that he can brush his face in the city.

Even if he was deprived of the emperor's inheritance rights and lost all his noble status, this is still the son of the current emperor. Especially his mother is still there. A succubus princess who says she has no power in the palace is like saying that the weasel in the chicken coop doesn't know how to eat chickens.

However, before Lin and Azad were about to get into the carriage, walking past the archdemon beside Efron, Starina grabbed the noble young man by the neck and lifted him off the ground with lightning speed. Still the same voice as the noise, with flames at the corners of her mouth, Starina said, "He must have sent people away to gather men and ambush us." ”

The young man who was choked turned blue, his hands and feet were scratching and kicking, and he was speechless. The old magician anxiously wanted to stop a great demon, but he didn't dare to cast a powerful attack magic for fear of being accidentally injured. He could only say in a pleading voice, "No, we didn't want to do anything like that. Never! Put Efren down. ”

"Put him down, demon. It doesn't make sense for you to strangle him. Lin said on the side.

The previous display of power gave the magician a certain weight in the eyes of this gorilla demon. So what Lin said, Starina didn't dare to ignore it. But she still vetoed: "No, Your Excellency. Easily believing in a cunning human being is deadly. I'm not going to let you make that mistake. I don't want to be surrounded by human armies in this kind of place. ”

Maybe the latter is what this demon is worried about. Lin thought. Still, he said, "I know we do have the potential to be under siege." But it depends on whether your man's face is big enough and whether his strength can pass. ”

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?" Starina asked, puzzled. Azad seemed to have figured it out, but he still looked displeased.

"Your man is the son of the current emperor of the empire. Although I have heard that he has been deprived of some rights, that kind of thing is harmless to the people in the royal family, because blood ties cannot be taken away. And I have heard that he is regarded as a scourge within the empire, and everyone fears him. If Azad is really as strong as he himself claims, then it would be best for those with military power to ignore this moving scourge. So for me, this opportunity is a test. Test how much face Azad has in this city, and that's about what I'm going to do next. I understand this, and Azad understands it better than you. So, let go of that poor worm in your hands. ”
