Chapter Seventy-Eight: Annexation
Players who have rested quickly learned to be flexible, no longer bothering about the matter of god coins, since the game is set to be two currencies, then just earn.
Anyway, the player has some potions in his hand, and there are a lot of valuable goods in his backpack, so I believe the store will be willing to barter.
"What, no more silver coins? I only need to hunt three hundred squirrels? Do you want a squirrel? "Players who want to buy bows and arrows gasped, there are a lot of these things in Cuiping Mountain, and the team can get together, and three hundred squirrel skins can be enough.
"Herbs for this bread? It's a bit expensive, but it's okay, I have quite a few. ”
"Can you help build the house? That's great, what? Want food in exchange? Yes, yes, I want rice, I'll go back and ask my friend to pull it for me, but it will take a day or two......"
It was only a small procession, and the village was lively, and when Palmer got up, the villagers outside were lining up to discuss something with a few travelers in the inn.
It sounds like these travelers are quite rich, and it doesn't even matter if they are deceived by the villagers.
Intriguing Palmer, he stood on the stairs and observed, and within an hour the travelers had lost almost a few gold coins.
Are these people stupid?
What made Palmer even more incredulous was that these people had scraped together three hundred squirrel skins in a short period of time, and as for the herbs he had named, they had taken them directly from their backpacks, just a small bag, as if they were inexhaustible.
That must be a baby!
But Palmer is not stupid, the person who has this kind of treasure is definitely not an ordinary person, and he feels that he needs to communicate with these people to gain trust.
"I heard you're from Cuiping Mountain? It's a beautiful place. Seeing that there were no people, Palmer sat down in front of Leng Dong, who had just made the most generous moves, so he had been put at the top of Palmer's list, "But you are strangers, and if you come to our Gaia to do business, you have to pay taxes." ”
Leng Dong frowned, and then directly put his knife on Palmer's neck.
"This, what is this for, if you have something to say, say it well." Palmer almost peed his pants, he felt like he was being careless now, and he should have brought a few bodyguards.
"I'm not one of those villagers, I'm honestly exploited by you, I heard that the things that the villagers exchange with us are taxes, such a small village, is it using such a high tax?" Leng Dong pressed the sword in his hand hard, "The villagers can't afford to mess with you, but we don't have to, even if we kill you halfway, you can only think that you are unlucky, don't you say?" ”
"You, aren't you afraid of being wanted?"
"Wanted? If I say that there are hundreds of thousands of people like me who are not afraid of death, do you think we are afraid? ”
Regardless of whether what Leng Dong said was true or not, the sweat on Palmer's face fell, "I think we can discuss, discuss." ”
If the other party really has hundreds of thousands of people, then even Baron Verne does not dare to say anything, the reason why Baron Verne did not directly destroy this village is mainly because he is poor, just a baron, if he is a marquis, 30,000 or 40,000 private soldiers can destroy hundreds of thousands of mountain bandits.
"Discuss? I don't think there's any point in discussing with you, just consult with your baron if you want to discuss. Leng Dong looked at Palmer in front of him, "I think we have business to do with your baron." ”
……
Soon the next group of players crossed Cuiping Mountain, and it was not so difficult to cross Cuiping Mountain after knowing the road, and there were quite a few players in this group, there were thousands of people.
The group of thousands of people made Palmer's legs tremble, and when he left with his taxes, he could only take Cold Winter and his party with him.
"You mean that there are still many human beings living in the area south of Cuiping Mountain?" Palmer's mind turned quickly, "You are not our Gaia people, you should be an independent kingdom." ”
"Haven't you heard of Moonshine?" Leng Dong asked again, "Our Moonlight Town is a town of tens of thousands of people along the coast, I thought you knew ......."
"I, I really haven't heard of it." Palmer shook her head.
From the village to the baron's castle, he walked for a whole day, and he was inquiring about Gaia in the cold winter along the way, but Palmer was a shrewd person, and in order not to reveal the vain things about the Baron's family, there were many inaccuracies in what he said.
However, it still let players inquire about some basic subtleties.
Gaia was a feudal dynasty, and except for the imperial city, it was basically the fief of various nobles, which meant that the phenomenon of secession was very serious.
For example, if it is close to the imperial city, it may be more disciplined.
But the nobles who are far away from the imperial city can be said to do all kinds of evil, and even the nobles of lower rank are likely to be swallowed up by other nobles.
Baron Verne didn't really want to oppress the ordinary people below, but there was no way, if he didn't work hard, he would soon not be a baron.
"So, the baron is still in trouble by doing this?" Leng Dong knocked on the big sword in his hand, "You nobles annexed each other, and they also relied on fighting?" ”
"Of course, the people of the Imperial City don't know anything anyway. They won't care about the small city lords in the south, after all, the north is more important. Palmer shrugged, "With this food, Lord Baron can train more soldiers to defend against the covetousness of other marquises." It's not that I'm talking big about it, we're already married to the Marquis of Brown, and as long as we have enough offerings, the Marquis of Brown will cover us. ”
"So you've been annexed by Marquis Brown?" Leng Dong's words were a little mocking, and Palmer's face turned red and blue for a while, he also felt the same, but he didn't dare to say it.
"Regardless of these, you must not act rashly when you see Lord Baron, nobles are not something that ordinary people like us can afford to provoke, the masters around them are like clouds, and there is a great magister around the baron, if you want to do evil, you will be killed directly by the archmage."
The domain of the baron of Verne was lively, much stronger than the border village.
There are people who do everything here, several players are on the live broadcast, and there are already many people who have seen the alchemy shops and magic supplies shops in the town, and it seems that in the territory of Baron Verne, you can learn a lot of useful things.
However, to the disappointment of players, the god currency is still not recognized here, only the currency of Gaia, and players have to exchange goods for it, so players who are ready to go to the Barony of Verne have begun to work hard to stuff goods into their bodies, hoping to exchange for more currency.
