"Wizard Abel can't hold on any longer and will return to silence in ten days and a half."
Sitting on the main seat of the castle, Wang Xu was wearing a purple robe and looking at Yaoyao in the direction of the royal capital.
The wizard Abel is the guardian sent by the Blackmang Wizarding Academy to the world of knights.
As a guardian, Wizard Abel has late-level second-level strength, but he suffered heavy soul damage during the war with the Scarlet Wizard Academy. Although he was lucky enough to survive the war, he has been unable to eliminate the decay of his soul.
Now he has retired to the world of knights and has been struggling for hundreds of years. His soul is on the verge of death and he has only a few days left to live.
According to the meaning of the Blackmang Wizarding Academy, Wizard Abel, as the defender of the academy, should not die in obscurity.
Therefore, the senior management of the college specifically notified Wang Xu and asked him to go to the royal capital to see off Wizard Abel.
"Theoretically, a second-level wizard with fused blood can live up to 10,000 years before dying due to soul decay. Wizard Abel may not even be 2,000 years old this year, which can be considered a premature death. Otherwise, according to the academy's evaluation
, he is very likely to become a third-level wizard."
War is cruel. Even if the Blackmang Wizarding Academy is stronger, it is impossible to defeat the Scarlet Wizarding Academy without any loss.
Wizard Abel was just one of the thousands of dark wizards who died and suffered severe injuries in this war. If he hadn't been in the knight world and coincided with Wizard Abel's death, the academy would not have allowed him to attend the funeral.
"Sir, these are the new grapes from the vineyard, please have a taste."
A maid wearing a linen robe with half of her breasts exposed came in carrying a plate of grapes and half-knelt at Wang Xu's feet.
From his position, he could just see a touch of snow-white and half a red dot from inside his loose collar.
Wang Xu looked at it and shook his head slightly. Being an earl was all good, but there were too many people who wanted to climb into his bed.
Looking at the maid's flirtatious look, he couldn't believe that this was a natural exposure. At first glance, it was full of routines.
"Get up, you act every day, aren't you tired?" Wang Xu waved his hands impatiently, already tired of these scheming bitches.
When the maid heard this, she turned pale with fright, like a frightened deer, and said in a long voice: "Master"
"Step back." Wang Xu didn't even look at him, he lowered his head and ate grapes.
The maid left reluctantly, and after a while, the sound of frolicking could be heard outside.
"Xiaolang Hoozi still wants to seduce the master, so he must be kicked out now."
"That's right, look at how you look. The collar on your chest is so open, how sexy you must be!"
"Bah, you are not much better than me, are you? Who tried to climb into bed in the middle of the night and was kicked out by the master? Who pretended to meet the master by chance and met him 17 times a day? You still have the nerve to criticize me, I will strangle to death
You little bitches."
Although the frolicking outside was deliberately suppressed, Wang Xu could still hear it clearly with his sharp ears.
He knew very well that even if these maids understood that they would never marry an earl in their lifetime, they would still be willing to fly into flames for this title.
Because for these maids, they don't need to marry the earl. As long as they climb into his bed, they will be rich and popular for the rest of their lives, and the whole family will benefit from it.
Among other things, Wang Xu has hundreds of villages and towns under his jurisdiction. It wouldn't be too much to climb into his bed and get a tax officer position for his family.
In the outside world, tax collectors in towns and villages are big shots with high status, and no one from all over the country is allowed to take a high look at them.
"Sir, the carriage is ready." Butler Capas walked in from outside at this time.
Hearing that everything was ready, Wang Xu nodded imperceptibly and said softly: "Let's go."
Gululu
A dozen knights walked in front, followed by five black carriages, and then followed closely by hundreds of personal guards.
Seeing the fluttering tulip flags, people along the way knelt down one after another. Even if there were naughty children who didn't want to kneel, they would be forced to the ground by adults to avoid bumping into the nobles.
Wang Xu sat on the carriage and looked at the civilians along the way through the window.
Most of these people were wearing linen clothes and had decent faces. Many of them had numb eyes, as if they were just robots that could cultivate the land.
"Capas, come here."
Wang Xu waved to the steward who was riding beside the carriage and asked: "What is the tax rate implemented in our territory?"
"Sir, it's seven out of ten taxes." The butler replied without thinking, riding on his horse.
Wang Xu nodded lightly and said softly: "Tell them that the tax rate will be reduced to 10 tax and 6 tax. In the future, they can buy two more chairs during the New Year and holidays."
"Yes, sir."
The steward rode on horseback, holding a tulip flag, and said loudly: "Everyone, listen, the earl has issued an order. The future tax will be reduced to 10% tax and 60% tax. Your good days are coming!"
"Oh my god, ten taxes and six, I will never dream again."
"Oh, my poor son, if there were 10% tax and 60% tax, my mother would have the money to let you take a wife."
"Long live the Earl, long live!!"
Listening to the cheers on both sides of the road, Green, who was riding a horse in front, looked at the direction of the carriage with envy and thought to himself: "If one day, I can become a noble, I will implement the policy of 10% tax and 50% tax, so that everyone can do the same."
Cheer for me."
As a time traveler from modern times, Green thinks he is more democratic than everyone else.
Isn't it just taxing six out of ten? Sooner or later, I can do it myself and do it better than anyone else.
"The soil in Black Iron City is very suitable for growing hops. We should vigorously promote hop planting and build a complete beer processing plant. This is much better than farming."
As Wang Xu spoke, he ordered: "Write it down and let someone do it. I want to smell the aroma of hops when I come back."
"Yes, sir."
Under the cheers of countless people, the motorcade gradually disappeared into the distance.
The rest of the trip is mainly about rushing.
From Black Iron City to the Royal Capital, it is 1,200 miles, and it takes about a week to arrive.
Wang Xu did not rush, because according to the information he received, wizard Abel would die in at least ten days and a half, which was enough time.
four days later
"Put all the supplies on the two carriages at the back. Everyone, hurry up. After passing this town, we are about to enter the Black Forest, and beyond that is Kabudar."
It was raining continuously, and in a small town adjacent to the forest, Wang Xu's convoy stopped here temporarily to replenish necessary supplies.
Looking at the guards who were busy carrying supplies in the rain, Wang Xu and the knights were sitting in the shed outside the tavern, enjoying lamb chops and beer while chatting as if there was no one around.
In terms of status, the most senior person is of course Wang Xu, followed by the butler and these knights.
You can't expect knights to carry things like coolies, so these chores are left to the personal guards.

A bolt of lightning flashed across, and in the heavy rain, a knight in armor ran quickly from a distance.
When he arrived at the door of the tavern, the knight dismounted and half-knelt in front of Wang Xu: "Sir, the road in the forest is muddy and it rains heavily. From my point of view, it is best to spend the night in a small town."
Wang Xu raised his head when he heard the sound and looked outside the town, at the endless black forest and the heavier rainstorm.
After a while, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
With Wang Xu's permission, the guards who were transporting supplies breathed a sigh of relief.
They are not nobles riding in carriages. If they march in a hurry in a heavy rain, they will be the most unlucky.
"Inform the tavern owner to prepare mutton, thick soup, bread, and rum. We will spend the night at his place." Wang Xu withdrew his gaze and said to the butler beside him.
The butler nodded slightly and walked into the tavern to communicate with the boss.
As for the tavern owner, Wang Xu is not worried about whether he will let hundreds of people live in his tavern.
Because in this era, nobles have the right to execute civilians. If the tavern owner dares to refuse, he must be careful about his life.
boom!!
There was another thunder, and the rain became even heavier.
