Chapter 656

Gloria and Bai Huang's team set foot on this frozen land, and sindagosa fluttered his wings into the sky again and hovered among the clouds.

"Is this Silver Star Island? It looks desolate," said Jolie.

Bai Xiaowen has opened the map: "We crossed the bogus Strait. Now we are located in the northwest of the Silver Star Island, and the Silver Star City is located in the hinterland of the island. According to the data, the Lord of the Silver Star City 'Aldington' has very strict rule. Officials are corrupt, gangs are rampant, and civilians need to pay high taxes. Therefore, we are very poor and can easily become slaves."

"Slaves? Aaron, there should be no slavery in the world," said Li Shuyi.

"Silver Star Island is the only legal territory of slavery in the north," Bai Xiaowen said.

"It's hateful... Well, it seems that we are not liberators," said Li Shuyi with a smile. "In this way, it should be easier to attack Silver Star Island. The Lord Aldington doesn't seem to win the hearts of the people."

The cold voice sounded, and Gloria said, "no, Aldington has a strong army."

Bai Xiaowen shrugged and said, "don't underestimate the resistance consciousness of the Vikings in the north. Aldington must have strong enough military power to maintain dictatorship."

"No matter how strong he is, he can't resist death." Gloria's lines have a tendency of Chinese duality.

"Let's get familiar with the local situation and wait for the undead Legion brought by the Lich bud to arrive," Bai Xiaowen said.

While they were talking, they were also moving forward and soon met a village.

Perhaps because of the high-pressure rule of Yinxing Island, this small village called "mirabilite village" is also very dilapidated. Most of the houses are made of clay with reeds and thatch, and there is not even a decent wooden house.

"Lord Gloria, wait a minute," Bai Xiaowen said. "If you want to inquire about the news, the three of us disguised as wandering mercenaries are more suitable. Your image is a little inconsistent."

Bai Xiaowen, the three of them have the illusion dress of a linen robe, which is the default rule of the spiritual world. There is no problem in pretending to be a wanderer. Golia is different. She is covered with well-made armor, which is itself an advanced magical equipment. Because of the infusion of death energy, it turns into dark blue and emits a cold smell. Even fools who don't know goods can see it.

"My patience is limited. Hurry up," replied Gloria.

Bai Huang's group of three walked all the way into mirabilite village.

Bai Xiaowen knocked on the door of a hut at the entrance of the village.

A panic voice sounded from inside the door: "wait... Wait a minute!"

When the door opened, an elderly couple with gray hair looked at each other with the white Phoenix team, and their faces were still in shock.

However, after seeing Bai Xiaowen's Linen robes, the old couple seemed relieved. The old woman also muttered, "fortunately, it's not cruciform..."

"What is a cross?" Li Shuyi whispered in the team channel.

"The family emblem of the oldington family, two crossed roses." Bai Xiaowen also explained in the team channel, then tried to show a kind smile and looked at the old couple:

"Fellow villagers... Well, Hello, we are mercenaries from a long way. We just got off the ship and want to find a place to rest. Don't worry, we will pay as much as we should."

Bai Xiaowen's high Charm Value played a role. Although the old man's eyes were suspicious, his tone was not very bad: "our family is not suitable for too many people. It's too small to even have a place to sit... Are you mercenaries? Alas, you're in the wrong place. There's no business here."

"We are the best mercenaries," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "There are no ferocious beasts nearby, such as tigers, jackals or dragons. Is there a reward order?"

"There are wild animals, but they rarely enter the village. As for the giant dragon, I have never seen it," the old man sighed. "Who has the spare money to reward the wild animals? The Lord's army is much more ferocious than tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves."

"Silver Star City Lord's army? How many of them?" Bai Xiaowen fluently led the topic.

"Who knows, a thousand or two thousand... It's the same for us..."

The old woman sighed, "you'd better hurry. Today is the day for the tax official to go to the countryside, and the tax of this quarter should be paid again... I don't know how many people in the village will be taken away as slaves."

"No one wants to resist?" Bai Xiaowen was a little confused.

"We are just unarmed civilians. How can we resist? Every time the tax official goes to the countryside, he will take a team of cross soldiers," said the old man.

Hearing the news, Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then left.

Two hours later, two horsemen came to the village, followed by a small group of soldiers.

Bai Xiaowen can sense the template strength of two horsemen. One of them is just an ordinary template. Wearing the cloth robes of civil servants, he should be the so-called tax official. The other is a fully armed cavalry with the strength of elite template. Other ordinary template taxis follow behind him, which has the smell of orders and prohibitions.

"Dior, how long do you want me to wait," said Gloria impatiently.

The desire for destruction rose in Gloria's frozen heart. This newly reborn black knight was eager to fight and kill.

"A little more patience... As for the reason, I have told you, Lord Gloria." Bai Xiaowen said.

Goliath snorted, "your reason is not convincing... If it wasn't for the time needed for the arrival of the Lich bud and the Legion of the dead, I wouldn't wait at all."

Bai Xiaowen smiled. Just about to open his mouth to appease him, he suddenly heard the noise from mirabilite village.

"OK, let's move," Bai Xiaowen said after climbing up and looking into the distance.

Gloria snorted and strode forward. Bai Huang's team followed closely.

Mirabilite village has now become a pot of porridge. Obviously, as the old couple said, many civilians in the village can't afford to pay taxes. According to the law of Silver Star collar, they will be demoted to slaves and work hard in the Lord Aldington's Workshop - this is almost a dead end. The difference is just the length of time they endure.

More than a dozen poor civilians were tied up by ropes, and fully armed cross soldiers were punching and kicking the families of these "quasi slaves" to separate them.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" cried the tax official. "All those who can't afford to pay taxes are sold into slavery. This is the law!"
