Jia Yi came out of the mountain and walked south for about 20 miles, and the number of pedestrians on the road began to slowly increase, and sure enough, he saw a small town.

It's actually a bit inaccurate to say that it's a small town, although the scale of this town is not large, but it has a city wall built with obsidian, obsidian is not cheap, and when Longgen College built the bell tower, it only pasted one layer on the outside.

He didn't dress as a mage, and the leader of the mountain people said that the town and the mage didn't deal with each other much, so to be on the safe side, he changed into a strong outfit to be an adventurer. Although Jia Yi doesn't look strong, he has good physical fitness, and he really fights almost like a regular knight, so it's not too abrupt to dress up like this.

The town was not strictly in and out, he paid the entrance fee and came in easily, no one cared where he came from, and not long after he entered, he heard a rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind him.

He hurriedly got out of the way, only to see a group of knights coming in through the gate of the town on horseback, each with several heads tied to the saddle, which looked like they were still fresh, but the blood had long since dried up.

"Where did you come from hunting?" asked the guard at the gate with a little envy.

"In the mountains to the north, these miscellaneous pieces also built a village to resist, and we took down the gate of the village with an impact, fortunately I reacted quickly, otherwise it would have almost broken the phase. It's better to pay taxes honestly. ”

"Haha, if they pay taxes, you won't have so many military exploits to take, not only can't cut off their heads, but also protect them. ”

"You're right, it's also good to be honest and become my combat exploits, hahahaha..."

The knights at the head laughed as they left the town gate, and ran along the street towards the inside, and all the pedestrians on the road spread out in both directions, running towards both sides of the street like a plague, leaving only the whispers of the knights.

The guard at the gate of the town looked at the knights who were far away, and said with some jealousy: "Their reward this time will definitely be a lot, and they have brought back more and more heads recently." ”

In their eyes, those mountain people may not be human beings at all, but just mobile feats and rewards.

Jia Yi frowned slightly, this is the case in this kind of world with extraordinary powers, if it was on Earth, this brutal rule would have been overthrown long ago.

Even in the main material realm, there is rarely such a fierce rule, and the Supreme Council will not allow it.

Jia and his entourage walked in the town, the buildings here are very distinctive, mostly decorated with spires, most of the edges of the houses will have very exaggerated eaves, and he also saw many symbols on the walls of the house that are suspected to be demonic runes, but these runes are plausible, not real demon runes, just look like them.

Jiayi casually walked around the town, the town looked a little strange, he saw a lot of demon-style decorations, and he also saw that there was a church, but the face of the church was a pair of fire demons' signature sharp horns.

He lives in this town, and when he is not working, he goes to the town to listen to the conversations of the people around him, gather information, and sometimes he will take a little commission to make himself look like a normal adventurer.

After spending 10 days in the town, he finally got to know some of the basics.

The church here is not dedicated to a single god, but to a demon, which is why there are so many demonic elements in the town. And listening to the meaning of the people here, it is not only this town that worships this demon, it is the norm here, and no one thinks there is a problem.

This is a small world completely controlled by demons, and Kaichi also understands a little that the caster who belongs to the town should be a demon warlock.

The Demon Warlock was originally supposed to enslave the demons to serve the human race, with the human as the leader, but here, the profession has become the demon dominant, and the Demon Warlock has become a reward for the demons.

Kaichi saw a demon warlock here once, it is said that a warlock invited back from the big city by the lord to help, and the magic fluctuations on his body were not much worse than Kaichi, and he set off with the lord's knights to sweep the stockade on the mountain.

During this time he saw two more times the lord's knights returning from a sweep, each time with a head on the saddle. However, he didn't see the head of the stockade he encountered, and he didn't know if the knights of the lord didn't meet it or encountered it, but he felt that the cost of attacking was too great.

Although the meeting was not very pleasant at that time, he still hoped that the other party would be able to survive the lord's sweep safely.

On this day, Jia Yi came out of the tavern, there were always many interesting things happening in the tavern, and he could hear a lot of gossip, and before he had gone far, he heard a noisy sound in the distance.

He found a high staircase and stood up, looking in the direction of the distant sound, and the knights who had gone out to sweep back from the gate of the town were coming back, but this time they looked very embarrassed, all of them were wounded, and there were also lying on horseback, bleeding from their bodies, and they seemed to have no breath.

"I heard that I met a mage. ”

There is someone next to me who is more well-informed and has already gotten some gossip.

"Really, has the mage reappeared?"

"Of course, my next-door neighbor's wife's uncle's classmate's son's friend's brother is a member of the Knights, and I heard that a mage suddenly appeared in the middle of a raid on a cottage, and the defense of the cottage was originally strong, and the mage's sudden appearance was even more unprepared, and the knights lost at least a third, and even the warlock invited by the lord was seriously injured, and it is said that he had been sent to the lord's mansion to recuperate. ”

For the territory, this is already a big deal, and it is the first time that the knights of the lord's mansion have suffered such a big loss.

Kaichi stepped closer and asked with a curious look, "May I ask what is the matter with the mage you are talking about? Who else would deliberately go against the lord? Even the warlock invited by the lord is not an opponent. ”

As soon as the other party turned around, he looked at Jia Yi's young and curious baby, and said, "You're new here, right? No wonder you don't know, in the past two years, there have been several mages, and they always oppose the lord, especially support the mountain people to rebel against the lord's taxation of them." Every time these mages appear, the lord will suffer a lot of losses, and this time it should appear again, and the lord should have a headache. ”

He said like some schadenfreude, the lord will not have any problem with the people in the town to tax the mountain people, each lord will want his lord to have more people and more taxes, but the lord asks for 10 years at a time, which is really difficult for some strong people.

In fact, the purpose of the lord is not entirely to collect taxes, but more to eliminate the forces that disobey him, and to resist taxes and hide in the mountains is to be disobedient.

It's just that this method is too simple and crude, even cruel.

"Then why are these mages targeting the lords? It can't be pity for those mountain people, I've heard that mages aren't good people. ”

Jia Yi said deliberately, in fact, in the eyes of outsiders, the mage has never been a good person.

The other party suddenly lowered his voice and said cautiously, "Don't tell others, I heard that these mages are from outside, who knows what they think." ”

Although he said that he should not say it to the outside, but looking at his appearance, I don't know how many people have said this, and those gossip that are flying all over the sky are always inevitably related to them.

Jia Yi was very interested in the outside of his mouth, but he was a little vague about what the outside meant, and it didn't seem to be clear, just hearsay.

Kaichi guessed that this outside index finger was outside the small world, but he couldn't be sure.
