Chapter 17: Goblin Kingdom
"Shhhh
Jiang Yu signaled for the violent flames to be silenced, slowed his steps, hid behind the big rock, and looked cautiously towards the source of the sound.
"Ding Ding Bang-"
It's a goblin.
A goblin tribe that looks like Hatty.
There are a lot of them.
And humans.
Not only humans, Jiang Yu even saw some half-orcs and half-giantsγ......
Without exception, they all wore shackles.
Very thin and numb in the eyes.
And the goblins were waving whips in their hands, whipping the slaves.
Jiang Yu's movements were very light, and among those humans, she saw an acquaintance.
The eldest son of the most expensive in the Lao Jiang family.
Jiang Cheng is his father, Jiang Xingwang.
It's miserable.
A middle-aged man with gray hair, a thin figure with multiple wounds on his body.
Jiang Yu didn't feel pity for him at all, this person was not a good stubble.
Compared to him, maybe those half-orcs and half-giants will be a little worse.
"Howling ββ!!!"
With a long roar, Jiang Yu saw a skeleton centaur, being held around the neck by the goblins, and he struggled hard, but to no avail.
The entire Stone Forest is under the control of the goblins.
They have formed a very powerful kingdom.
Warriors, civilians, slaves.
And the King.
Goblin Kingdom.
It's a territory.
Jiang Yu reacted immediately.
This goblin territory is her enemy.
Her enemies may be more than the goblins of this tribe.
Although there is no second inhabitant of the territory besides her.
However, a lot of things should be planned.
You can't wait for them to knock on the door before you start thinking about what to do, right?
The sudden appearance of the [Church] caused the fog creatures to flee, and there was a lot of movement.
These goblins took the opportunity to capture a lot of new slaves, but they were far away, and they did not find any trace of Jiang Yu and Storm Yan.
It's a great blessing in misfortune.
Jiang Yu couldn't do it, every time she encountered danger, she waited for the evil god to save her.
In that case, the evil god would have to kill her first before the goblins intervened.
So many goblins are a good tribute to the soul of Jiang Yu.
It was already getting dark, and Jiang knew that it was time for them to return to their territory.
She plans to let Hattie infiltrate this goblin territory and become a spy.
But this thing, if you really let her come, I guess she'll get the identity of a multi-agent.
So, I have to find a way to restrain her.
Jiang Yu took advantage of the painful wails of the slaves over there and rolled on the ground with violent flames, and left quietly.
She didn't have any extra sympathy to share with these slaves.
On the way back, Jiang Yu opened the chat channel, ready to find some useful information on it.
This opening is really amazing.
Jiang Xingwang was not the only one who was caught by the goblins, and it was not only this [aboriginal] territory that was catching players.
The danger of players is really everywhere.
[Chen Qingqing: Woo woo woo - is there a kind person to save me - that old witch is preparing to test my medicine. γ
[Lin Dazhuang: Be content, I don't know where I'm going to be transported yet. γ
Jiang Yu wrote down the information on the chat channel, the area of 1,000 people.
Including her and the two territories of the goblins, Jiang Yu has discovered the other three indigenous territories.
No other player territories have appeared yet.
Lords and adventurers, two modes entirely.
Those adventurers are really miserable.
Before the monsters gathered, Jiang Yu and Storm Yan rushed back to their territory.
[If there are adventurers in the territory, please set the taxes and land fees in time.] γ
As soon as he stepped into the territory of the territory, Jiang Yu received such a message.
So fast.
Jiang Yu quickly opened the panel of the territory and set up the taxes and land fees.
10% tax, 20 copper coins for land entry.
It's not too high.
20 copper coins are just a [city entry fee] charged for entering the territory.
Jiang's territory is not even a village, and the title of land entry fee is quite appropriate.
These adventurers want to stay overnight and need to pay another overnight fee.
Jiang Yu and Storm Flame had returned from the rear of the territory, and the adventurers and dwarves were now gathered in the tavern.
She had Stormfire call in Hattie to squeeze money out of sapient beings, which was what she did best.
As soon as he heard Jiang Yu's call, Harty immediately ran over.
"Great master, do you have any orders for summoning Hatty?"
Hattie smiled dogly, humble and flattering, prostrate at Jiang Yu's feet.
"There's an adventurer in the territory, right?"
Jiang Yu sat in a simple house and made himself a cup of tea.
"Yes, master."
"I've just settled down the taxes and fees for the territory."
"10% tax, 20% land fee."
"What ββ!!!"
Hattie erupted into a high-pitched scream of disbelief.
"Iziz, great master, you are truly the most generous and kind lord in the world!"
said this, but Hattie's face was full of pain.
It seems that with such a tax, Jiang Yu is ripping off her meat.
"Master, you don't need to be so generous with those lost dogs, what they are best at is to get an inch!!"
Hattie said indignantly.
"They're always insatiable!"
"Master, Hattie is your most faithful servant, Hattie will never deceive you!"
"With such low taxes and fees, they will become greedy! Their ambitions will grow slowly! β
"And ......!!"
Hattie gave an impassioned speech, spitting all over the place.
Jiang Yu blew the tea leaves and took a sip unhurriedly.
"So, what do you think should be done?"
"Master, Hattie thinks, taxes should be raised to 90 per cent!!"
"Ground and overnight fees, as well as carriage and parking fees...... At least 10 credits too!! β
Hattie snorted.
Jiang Yu was speechless for a long time.
When it comes to being a profiteer, she really can't compare to Hattie.
"You're paying so high, they'd rather spend the night with monsters, right?"
How is it possible to take it out?
The adventurer players, who were drinking hot water in the tavern, let out a loud sneeze.
The lords of this territory have not returned, and they can't do anything but boil water for drinking.
"What are the taxes in the other territories?"
Jiang Yu asked as he sent a message to Regian.
She also didn't forget to open the game chat channel to gather information.
Surprisingly, Hattie's black heart is black heart, and the lords of other territories are not much different from her.
According to Regian, all the lords/kings/nobles of the New World, their taxes will definitely not be less than 50%.
Very scary numbers.
No wonder Hattie thinks she's too generous.
Jiang Yu was noncommittal about the exploitation of these lords, and followed the trend to raise the tax revenue of the territory to 50%.
As for the land entry fee, it has not been increased.
Mainly, the player is poor, and so is her territory.
There are no protections or buildings at all.
