In the southwest of the central city of Tili City, a dull loud noise suddenly erupted. The expression of the young boss in the nearby store suddenly changed, and the customers who were picking products were also startled.
"what sound?"
"Weren't there no artillery used at Sochi Castle?"
"Ha, those stupid old soldiers can't do anything ridiculous. Did you hear that they sent all the female members of the city-state to comfort the army there, which is tens of thousands!"
"Tsk~"
"No, it sounds like it's nearby, like something is falling from the sky."
"Whatever, it's not my fault. Why are there so few dishes today? And the price has increased?"
"You think it's expensive, but I think it's too expensive! Look, where is the food now?" The young boss Eugene changed the subject and complained: "In the early morning, the fire-headed army from the catechism department just came to clean up, and not only collected the money
They also took away most of my food. These are the goods that I went to the outer city to ask my grandpa and grandma to buy. If you don’t believe me, go out and take a look. I’m sure there are shops that aren’t even open!”
Little Eugene's words reached the hearts of the customers, and they all started shouting:
"Damn, this battle is really inexplicable. If it weren't for real, I would suspect that the noble gentlemen are cheating on our taxes! My wife and I worked hard to earn 360 crystal yuan a month, and we collected it the day before yesterday
One war tax was a fucking 980, and another 1,800 was collected yesterday. Damn, Fuck is having a bad time!"
"I earn four hundred a month, and I paid two thousand in three days!"
"What are we doing? It can't be said that it's miserable compared to the outer city. Many families in the outer city have borrowed money from loan sharks. The behavior of the catechism priests taking slaves to send money to the countryside is heartwarming. The lender directly signed the slave loan
Hey, look, before this battle is over, there will be tens of thousands more slaves on the market."
“There are more slaves than people, so it’s no wonder prices have risen so damn much.”
"Bullshit slaves, don't you know what's going on? We slave reservists don't know. The Ministry of Catechism and those big men are the real landlords. We can just be an extra. The money will always be the money, and the crystal will not evaporate.
, after squeezing us dry with that little monetary means, they will try their best to turn us into slaves so that they can harvest another crop, and their descendants will be endless!"
"Hey, I'm going to look at you with admiration on the third day of separation. You can quote the allusion of the black-haired man. You must also know the truth about the origin of slaves 110 years ago, right?"
"There is no truth. The truth is that the life of the Catechism Department is unsustainable and artificially created leeks!"
"There seems to be nothing wrong with saying that. If half of the population is reduced to slavery, doesn't the extra resources out of thin air mean an active market economy~"
"Hahaha!"
"Hell's joke belongs to..."
A group of aunts, sisters-in-law, uncles and old buddies who didn't have to work during the war were chatting animatedly. Suddenly, a young man wearing a black meteorite armor walked in from the back door of the vegetable store. Whether he was handsome or not was not a second priority. The most eye-catching thing was actually his eyes.
...
With dark eyes and unobtrusive eyes, this handsome and slightly thin young man is obviously not one of them.
The irises, which are as dark and deep as some kind of transparent black gemstone, occupy an unusually large proportion in his eyes. Because he squints slightly when he smiles, the whites of his eyes are reduced to only a few...
Gu Panfeiran's eyes are full of waves, like the eyes of a cat in the dark night!
"Mom..."
Everyone's inner OS: How can a man have such a pair of foxy eyes that could make people look foul? I can't let my wife (daughter) meet this guy!
In addition, the appearance of such a "noble" catechism scoundrel in a civilian store is one of the reasons why everyone looks unhappy. The city-state of Tili does not have a literary prison for speech crimes, but everyone's idle complaints just now were
This kind of person definitely doesn't sound like a good thing.
"Eugene, what's good today?"
"Ah, wait a minute..." Eugene said, "Today there are fresh asparagus and bison meat specially reserved for you. The bison was newly slaughtered after midnight and is very fresh. Let me think about it, oh yes,
There are also some sea cauliflower, cress and wild leeks that were just delivered in the morning. You will definitely like the wild leeks. They grow in the crevices of the rocks at an altitude of 3,000 meters in Fukonglu. They have rice-sized bulbs at their roots and are used for cooking.
It’s absolutely delicious fried with bison meat!”
Eugene's fawning behavior made the customers in the store look down upon him. No one said anything. Firstly, they didn't dare. Secondly, life was not easy for everyone. Common people really couldn't afford to offend those masters who ate meat and drank blood.
.
I saw this young aristocratic man walking around the store, picking up one or two vegetables and wild vegetables from time to time to smell them, and even breaking off one or two stems and leaves to taste them. He would nod to each customer when he passed by.
The smile was sincere and there was no hint of condescension at all.
Not only did the people who passively accepted the smile look confused, but the onlookers once had their souls wondering "What's wrong with this world"...
Bang~
The vegetable shop, which usually no one visits, was surprisingly busy today. The door was kicked open: "Collect taxes! Damn vampires and profiteers! It's time for you to serve Tili City-State!"
Seven or eight soldiers wearing bearskin and black meteorite iron armor suddenly crowded into the not-so-large vegetable store. Outside, there were slaves wearing red fox skins who performed voluntary housekeeping work and kept accounting books to calculate taxes.
Eugene's face was whiter than the paper. He gritted his teeth and tried to straighten his body to cover the young "aristocratic gentleman" behind him. He lowered his eyebrows and said: "Masters, the shop has already paid taxes yesterday and the day before yesterday.
..”
"What? These grandsons...ahem...which department are they from?"
"It's the Logistics Department of the Catechism Guards and the CEOs..."
CEO, the full name is Code Enforcement Officer or City Code Enforcement Officer. To make it easier to understand, this thing is generally called urban management law enforcement.
"Oh, they are them. On behalf of Tili City-State Round Table Council, I collected the war surcharge, 2,300 crystal yuan, pay it!"
"Sir, the shop paid thousands of crystal yuan yesterday and the day before yesterday, which is all the money I have saved since opening the shop. I really can't afford that much. Can you be more tolerant?"
With that said, Eugene stepped forward and secretly put a small bag of jingling crystals into the team leader's hand.
"Sensible, this is all the intention from above. It's not bad to reduce it a little bit... Huh?"
The squad leader looked past Eugene and landed on the figure behind him who was wearing black iron armor. He was puzzled and a little frightened: "You... are you? The director of the catechism has gathered in an emergency today.
Sochi Castle, you must have missed the dispatch order..."
Noble black hair and black eyes!
Handsome and handsome!
This is definitely the catechism’s favorite one...
The heavy armor does not wear inscribed epaulettes, but it can be expected that it must be at least the level of a guard commander!
The squad leader's mind suddenly became more active.
"All? Emergency gathering?"
"You really don't know...ah, this..." the team leader looked anxious, and his flattering expression caused serious physical discomfort to the people in the store, "If you miss the dispatch order, you will be punished.
You're dismissed, the transfer order was just issued 40 minutes ago, it might be too late for you to rush there now."
"Well, it is indeed useful news..." The handsome young black-haired man in full armor walked up to the squad leader under Eugene's stunned and frightened gaze, and looked down at the squad leader, "Tell me this news, do you want it?"
What’s the benefit?”
The squad leader was ecstatic at first, and then he remembered that there were onlookers and his younger brother around him. He felt that he couldn't be too direct, so he said a little shyly: "Young man, I don't dare. It's an honor to win the friendship of a distinguished guard captain."
!”
He looks like a licking dog waiting for its owner to throw out snacks.
