Chapter 521 Such a person
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 he looked around with a guilty conscience.
Customers who were picking products were also shocked:
"What sound?"
"Isn't there no artillery used at Sochi Castle?"
"Ha, those stupid old soldiers can't do anything that's ridiculous. Did you hear that they sent all the female members of the city-state to comfort the army, tens of thousands of them!"
< br>
"Tsk~"
"No, it sounds like it's nearby, like something is falling from the sky."
"Whatever, I didn't say that, 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 there are food now!" Young boss Eugene changed the topic 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 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 really fighting, I would suspect that the noble gentlemen are cheating on our taxes!"
"My wife and I work so hard that we earn three hundred and sixty crystal yuan a month. The day before yesterday, we collected a war tax of nine hundred and eighty yuan, and yesterday we collected another one thousand and eighty yuan. What a waste of time it is for Fuck! ”
"I earn four hundred a month, and I paid two thousand in three days!"
"What are we doing? It can't be said to be miserable compared to the outer city. Many families in the outer city have borrowed money at usury. The behavior of the Catechism Guards who took 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 slave, haha, 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, so we can just be an extra. The money will always be that money, and Jingyuan doesn't It will evaporate, and after squeezing us dry with that little monetary means, we can all try to trick ourselves into slaves so that we can have another harvest, and our descendants will be endless!”
"Hey, Shi Fareen, I'm going to treat you with admiration. 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, wouldn't the extra resources out of thin air be equivalent to an active market economy~"
"Hahaha!"
"Hell's joke belongs to yes."
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 full-body black iron armor walked in from the back door of the vegetable store. Whether he was handsome or not was secondary. The most eye-catching thing was actually his eyes.
With his dark pupils 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 gemstones, occupy an unusually large proportion in his eyes. Because he squints slightly when he smiles, the whites of his eyes are reduced to just a few
Gu Panfeiran's eyes are full of waves, like a cat's pupils in the dark night!
"Oh my god."
Everyone's inner OS: Can a man have such a pair of fox 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 loser in a civilian store is also 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 gossip and 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," said Eugene. "Today there are fresh asparagus and bison meat specially reserved for you. The bison was newly slaughtered after midnight. It is very fresh. Let me think about it. Oh, yes, there are some more. You will definitely like the sea cauliflower, cress and wild leeks that were just delivered in the morning. They grow on the floating land at an altitude of 3 There are bulbs the size of rice grains at the roots, which are absolutely delicious when fried with bison meat. "Eugene's fawning behavior made the customers in the store very disgusted, and no one said anything at all. I don't dare. Secondly, life is not easy for everyone. Common people really can't afford to offend those masters who eat meat and drink 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 bystanders once had soul doubts about "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!"
The not-so-large vegetable store suddenly crowded in with seven or eight soldiers wearing bearskin and black meteorite iron armor. 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 "noble gentleman" behind him. He lowered his eyebrows and said: "Masters, the shop has been handed over yesterday, the day before yesterday and early this morning. It’s taxed”
"What? Which department are these grandsons from?"
"It's the Logistics Department of the Catechism Guards and the CEOs."
CEO, the full name is CodeEnforcementOfficer or CityCodeEnforcementOfficer. To put it simply, this thing is generally called urban management law enforcement.
"Oh, they are them. On behalf of the Round Table Council of Tili City-State, I charge a war surcharge of 2,300 crystal yuan. Pay the money!"
"Sir, this is a small shop with a small profit. I have already paid thousands of crystal yuan, which is all I have saved since I opened the shop. I really can't afford that much. Can you be more tolerant?"
With that said, Eugene stepped forward and put a small bag of jingling crystals into the squad leader's hand in an intelligent and discreet manner.
"You're sensible! This is all the intention of the higher-ups. We can't do anything about serving people, but it's not bad to reduce it a little. Huh?"
The squad leader looked past Eugene and landed on the figure wearing black iron armor at the back. His expression suddenly changed. He was confused and a little afraid and humble: "Excuse me, who are you? The Minister of the Doctrine of the Faith is in urgent need of help today. Let’s gather and go to 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
He wears heavy armor without any inscribed epaulettes, but it can be expected that he must be at least the level of a guard commander!
The captain's mind suddenly became more active.
"All? Emergency gathering?"
"You really don't know this..." the squad leader said with an anxious look on his face. His flattering expression caused serious physical discomfort to the people in the store. "If you miss the dispatch order, you will be dismissed. The order was issued just 40 minutes ago, so it might be too late for you to rush there.”
"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 eyes, and looked down at the squad leader, "Tell me this news, what benefits do you want to get? ?”
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: "I don't dare, I am so honored to have the friendship of a distinguished guard captain." ! ”
He looked like a licking dog waiting for its owner to throw out snacks.
