Chapter 18: Synthetic Stones

I went through this idea in my heart, but Wang Xing didn't introduce his origin in much detail, and he didn't make it up directly.

He doesn't know much about the world, so he doesn't say anything, but is the least problematic approach.

Just as Wang Xing was about to open his mouth, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart.

There were many things he had just asked the village chief, including miscellaneous matters and his own speculations about the surrounding environmental forces. There were stories from all over the kingdom many years ago that boasted about how powerful the kingdom was when it was strong.

In the story, it is not the most powerful witch who signed a contract with the kingdom, but a powerful witch, as a representative of the local area, and the local lord signed a pact not to attack each other.

And now, after all these years, who knows if the most powerful witch is dead. Even if she hadn't died, the witch had already violated the promise by causing trouble in the neighborhood.

The mercenaries who came to escort were not the tax officer's men, but the tax collector.

This time, Wang Xing carefully looked at each mercenary.

Although Wang Xing's eyes did not radiate any power, the existence of Wang Xing's powerful spirit, will, and physical body still made these people feel tremendous pressure.

After Wang Xing checked the strength of these people, he came to an unexpected conclusion.

The cavalry in front of them had more or less traces of damage, and there were still a few wounded people lying on the carriage in which they were sitting facing each other, which was considered a troop carrier. The infantry who followed behind them were not tired of running, but had fought for the real time.

Therefore, Wang Xing judged that these people should have really fought with someone halfway.

Wang Xing suddenly asked, "The next delivery of grain, is it the village itself that sent people?" How many times? ”

Although Wang Xing could tell at a glance that he was not from the village, in front of a strong man, concealing some information that could be easily investigated would not do him any good for his own life.

So Hu Jie still told the truth.

The grain in the villages will be demanded for three years this year, but no more taxes will be collected for the next five years. As for the transportation, the villagers and the remaining mercenaries and some of the remaining soldiers will be escorted to the safety of the town, and then deployed to the town with the largest forest near the bureau.

The thoughts in Wang Xing's mind suddenly became clearer.

'What is it about asking for food for several more years and then distributing it to the closest place to the forest?' ’

What else could this be for? Wang Xing didn't even need to think about it, he who had survived in the chaos all the year round, he could already be sure that this was obviously a local person, who had begun to organize the defense line and forces, squeeze food, and create a front line and rear.

When the situation is intense, it will be the lord's people and the witch who are fighting, even if the situation is not so intense, it will inevitably punish the witch's side for violating the rules, and there will be several fights.

Knowing this, Wang Xing no longer asked, but gave these people a sentence that could be regarded as a reverie, and at the same time gave himself a market.

"During this time, I will stay nearby, and you tell them that a single witch, even if she can summon demons to help, will not be my opponent. If you need my help, come with sincerity. ”

Hearing Wang Xing's words, Hu Jie did not refute, but pressed his hand on his chest and nodded slightly, showing his respect for Wang Xing, but he was not too humble and flattering.

It was also when Wang Xing was speaking, from the wooden house opposite, the guy who was watching people with nostrils before also pushed open the door and strode out.

"This strong man with enough holy seals on his weapon is good to have your help." The tax officer said, "I don't know which witch you collided with when you traveled yesterday?" ”

"An old woman, protected by a couple of minotaurs, but all dead."

Before Wang Xing could speak, Wang Xing was full of food and drink behind him, and Mei, the girl who was cautiously in the house behind, couldn't help but speak.

At this opening, the tax officer was shocked. The village chief, who was standing on the side and smiling, did not speak in the back, but suddenly thought of something, and his face changed slightly.

"This ......"

The silence didn't last for a moment, and the tax collector took a step back and opened the door behind him.

"This strong man, please come here to speak."

Wang Xing went over directly with his weapon, and the soldiers wanted Wang Xing to put down his weapon halfway, but he was scolded by the tax officer to stand at the door. As for the village chief, he was arranged to prepare the grain for the past few years.

Although some parts of the conversation were unexpected by Wang Xing, he directly stated his purpose and strength, and after showing it, the tax officer, who didn't look very good, clearly affirmed Wang Xing's strength.

And in the evening, Hu Jie's subordinates, who went out, clearly found traces of battle, and found traces of the death of the witch and her minions at the scene.

After layers of affirmation, Wang Xing also knew that the person he killed was also a big man in the neighborhood.

Through the tax official Wang Xing, I know that the emergence of the witch group is entangled with the people in the territory. Wang Xing didn't care, he just needed to know that the current witch took the children in order to select the talented ones from them, and then let them inherit the mantle of the witch.

The witch he killed was one of the witches who had been humiliated in the village and had taken revenge on her enemies after becoming a witch, killing her family members who had insulted her and then given them as sacrifices.

As for why the other party knows so clearly, it is because they have obtained people of insight among the witches, participated in witches' gatherings, heard many stories, and know what the witches in the neighborhood are currently like.

Next, the lord will unite with the church to send a master to work together to exterminate these witches.

Although ordinary people don't know it, when the tax officer came out this time, he directly brought a lot of treasures and lists with him.

The witch killed by Wang Xing is that there is a bounty on the list, which can enslave a large number of demons, causing great harm, at least Hu Jie, a group of mercenary-level masters, and more than 100 infantry plus elite soldiers to be able to besiege and kill the big target.

The tax officer didn't play tricks with Wang Xing, and actually gave him the amount of the reward directly.

In addition to a bag of coins, there is also a treasure that will be blushing for masters, a synthetic stone.

Wang Xing got a lot of information from the tax officer, and he was clearly affirmed by the other party. The tax collector is a man who belongs to the lord, and if the king goes to the town there with him, he will definitely be able to use it again.

And after Wang Xing refused, the other party still said that Hu Jie and others would be sent here in a few days, and a group of elite soldiers and militia would be mobilized to come over, hoping that Wang Xing could lead this group of masters to continue to besiege and kill witches.

As for the remuneration, there will be more than it will be said at that time.
