Exemption from agricultural taxes, what a big deal! As a traverser, zero knows exactly what it means. [xiashu] the improvement of productivity, the improvement of the production system.

In the Kailan Continent shrouded in feudal thinking, how could anyone suddenly make such a heavy decision?

Of course, no one can answer zero doubts.

"That's it, you'll take care of the rest, Mr. Sparta. ”

Berry said, giving his partner a look, "I'll go back first, this is the last stop, and I can finally have a good rest." There is no need to send it far. "[Moontimer] good-looking novel debuted [] Moontimer 3

Then, Berry, who jumped on the horse, gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Then it's time for Sparta to explain. It seems that because the watermelon business in the town is very good, it has been valued by a certain adult, and under his suggestion, the tax of some villages and towns has been reduced or exempted to increase people's enthusiasm for labor. With these real districts, there will also be a steady stream of outsiders coming in. To put it bluntly, it is the concept of a special zone.

"I don't think it's realistic to completely exempt agriculture from taxes. Zero was not interested in what Sparta had said, and returned to Ai Xue and the others.

"What do you think of that Berry?" asked Alice suddenly.

"It's not like a bad guy, but I don't feel how strong he is, and if the herald is not strong, it is impossible to be without the protection of the guards, which is very unreasonable. Leonard analyzed with rich experience, "Moreover, judging from his words, deeds and dress, it is obvious that he is from an aristocratic background." Although the concept of nobility in the Federation has become more and more indifferent, it is still very suspicious that he did not report his surname. ”

"That ......," Lena raised her hand weakly, "is the herald a high-ranking position?"

"No, it's like the Imperial Chincha, officials who are temporarily appointed by the supreme authority to carry out specific orders, but those who have access to the supreme authority will certainly not be a simple status. ”

"What do you think of that Mr. Sparta? Alice pressed Leonard into question, as if to test him.

"It's just a façade, and it should only have a level 3 Cheng dù. ”

"That's right......," Alice smiled, smiling secretly, "that guy has some connection to me, though he probably doesn't know me." Unexpectedly, it was just a joke...... Forget it, let's not mention the old things, Jessica and I went to the nearest mercenary guild and will be back soon. ”

As he spoke, he picked up Jessica and disappeared in front of Ai Xue and the others.

"What, it's really unreliable. Zero pursed his lips, but also expressed helplessness about it. In this kind of unfamiliar place, Alice and the others are the only ones they can rely on.

The idle crowd eventually returned to their original inn until the two returned.

"I've been waiting for a long time~ Whew-" Alice rushed in, then bent down, holding her knees with both hands, panting out of breath, like a weak girl who had just finished running 5,000 meters.

Although the nearest mercenary guild is at least a few dozen 5,000 meters away from the town, if Alice is a weak girl, it is tantamount to saying that Billy Herrington is a thin and beautiful man.

loaded.

Zero knows it very well in his heart, and everyone knows it.

"What are you doing there?" Zero was curious.

"We've disbanded the A Song of Ice and Fire mercenary group. "[Moontimer] good-looking novel debuted [] Moontimer 3

"What?!"

"Actually, it was just built and played when I was bored, and since you're looking for the Balanced Sect now, I think it's interesting, so just join the snow wind. ”

"Sect of Equilibrium?" the others were at a loss.

"Oh yes, Ai Xue hasn't explained it before, it just so happens that there is still quite a long time before the festival begins. ”

Alice looked at Ai Xue and apologized for not leaving her room to maneuver.

Ai Xue naturally understood what Alice meant, and after last night's conversation, Ai Xue was already planning to talk to her.

......

"In other words, everything you've done since you entered school has been to find your parents?" Leonard questioned.

"Yes. Ai Xue was unwavering.

"There's nothing bad about it. Leonard's gaze softened, "I'm afraid people of my background can't understand it, and neither can Icarus." But we've got your back. ”

Icarus nodded.

"It turns out that there really is a mysterious organization like Zài on the mainland, and I suddenly feel that I have another goal. Lena, who was on her way to the goal of becoming a rank mage, also began to gear up.

"I'm sorry, Ai Xue, I let you bear so much alone, my brother is really incompetent. After learning many things that he didn't know before, Ike began to blame himself for his lack of strength, "If I can be stronger, I will definitely be able to share more." ”

"The ......," Kaos raised his hand, "will he die?"

"The people who can die in the hands of the Equilibrium Sect are all legends on the mainland, and at least they must be level 9 powerhouses, kings and emperors or something. If you are killed by them, it will be a great honor. Alice said half-jokingly.

"Then I'm worried about. Kaos sighed, "Although I like titles like heroes and the like, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be a legendary character." ”

Zero knew he didn't have to say anything, just put his hands on Ai Xue's shoulders. The trembling of Ai Xue's body gradually disappeared.

"Thank you......" The tears that dripped reflected Ai Xue's happy expression.

When night falls, it is lit up by watermelon lanterns.

"Wow, that's a great idea. Lena carried a lantern made of watermelon rind and observed with interest the patterns on the other people's lanterns.

"Isn't this a remake of the Halloween jack-o'-lantern? Zero still vividly remembers that his American classmates in his high school class taught him to make this thing, and then she carved a Hatsune Miku with an onion slick expression.

The lanterns are provided free of charge by the inn and are said to be nearly 100 years old and were invented by the ancestors of Sparta. [Monthly Timepiece] A good-looking novel debuted [] Monthly Timepiece 3

"The ancestor of that muscular combination would have such a delicate mind, who would be fooled!" Zero was skeptical.

The streets are filled with stalls of all kinds, but not all of them are related to watermelons.

Apple candy, marshmallows, nine-clawed yaki (similar to takoyaki, except that there is no such thing as an octopus here), eat everywhere, and I'm afraid that if you try all these things, you will have to grieve your stomach.

But Zero doesn't have this problem, in fact, she's also the only guy who runs all over the field to be able to eat dominance.

However, the highlight of the festival is just beginning.

"It's fireworks!" Zero saw the dazzling flame projectiles burst out of the air, bursting out with incomparably gorgeous sparks.

"Fireworks? The name of that thing, but it's really beautiful. Icarus was also fascinated by it, and rarely admired.

Fireworks rose into the night sky one after another, and the bursting seven-color sparks spread with joy to every corner of the town.

"Ai Xue, this is today's gift, as an atonement for last night~" Alice picked up a giant watermelon and stuffed it into Ai Xue's arms.

Ai Xue, who had just received the watermelon, stumbled a little, but fortunately immediately stabilized her figure. However, what attracted Ai Xue's attention was the familiar fruit knife that was "inserted" on it.

On a small hill in the distance, a huge figure stood. In his hands, there were two extremely complex magic arrays, from which the colored fireballs were generated, soaring and falling. In other words, there are no fireworks like those on Earth in this world, but alternatives made of fire magic, which can kill a level 6 warrior with a single shot. Sparta, the giant man, is the producer of fireworks.

If an archmage like Schindler was present, he would definitely be amazed by Sparta's cultivation. Only when the "manipulation" control of the fire element has reached the point of perfection can it be possible to make such dazzling sparks, and the fireworks that are continuously "fired" have a strength comparable to that of level 8 magic. But this is not the most surprising part, although Sparta's naked upper body is covered with sweat and his breathing is a little "disordered", he can release such a powerful offensive magic, but there is no trace of murder all over his body, even Schindler thinks he can't do it.

"Is that your answer, Mogark. ”

A beautiful female voice came from behind Sparta, and he broke out in a cold sweat in fright. At his level, if someone can cling to his back without him knowing, then there is only one possibility, and the strength of the other party is far above him.

Sparta stopped firing fireworks, but did not flee or even turn away. He knew that if the other party wanted his own life, he was already a dead man. Besides, the other party also said that name.

"Do you know grandfather?"
