Chapter 410

"This waterline, two kintons a week." On the dock, a middle-aged tax official came to the ship, first observed the waterline of the ship, and then said.

The tax official was received by the first mate on board. If there was no spare words, the first mate presented two round coins the size of a golden thumb.

On the front of the gold coin is a carriage representing commerce, and on the back is a golden wheat straw representing grain.

Kinso, the most popular currency in the east coast region.

The gold shield demanded by the tax official is the national currency of Manhattan Kingdom, the country to which molington port belongs. The chief officer pays it on behalf of gold with stronger purchasing power. On the other hand, it also means offering bribes.

The two gold cords are roughly worth two and a half gold shields. The tax official can make money.

After giving the chief mate a look of praise, the tax official took his account book and went to the next stop to collect taxes.

"I didn't expect that ordinary people on the east coast also have such great rights." Locke touched his chin and said in surprise.

The chief mate's fighting spirit level is at the senior attendant level, but the tax official is an ordinary person, but the hierarchical relationship between the two changes here.

"Knowledge determines fate!" A cold sigh beside him frightened Locke.

The person who could approach him silently was the official magician Pearson on board.

Today, the master didn't wear his usual hat, but wore a mage's robe, with an eye mask on one eye and a pair of single frame glasses on the other eye. Not only did he not mean to be nondescript, but he gave Locke a sense of erudition.

This reason has something to do with the strength of master Pearson's first-class magician and the knowledge and experience precipitated for hundreds of years.

Today's dress has transformed master Pearson from an impersonal and mysterious official magician into a learned wise old man.

A man depends on his clothes and a horse on his saddle.

Through the casual guidance of master Pearson, Locke knew that arithmetic literacy was the necessary skill for ordinary people to live a good life in the area of the east coast.

Farmers can't live a good life here because there isn't much good land for civilians to cultivate.

Business and transaction are the mainstream here.

Thinking of the social atmosphere here, Locke is not difficult to understand why an ordinary person can confidently find a high-level attendant to collect taxes.

The chief officer looked at the tax official with envy. Locke held his head. Is it really knowledge that determines fate.

Knowing that the ship was loaded with activated goblins, Locke did not drag mud and water, and directly took Christine and Raffi off the ship.

Santa sent an official magician to bring so many activated goblins to the east coast. There must be a decision transaction of Santa. Locke has a close relationship with Santa. In the final analysis, he is still a knight. It's better to get rid of this kind of thing.

"This is the business card of Brian chamber of Commerce. If you want to return to the three western islands, go to this chamber of Commerce for help." Mage Pearson took out a piece of silver hot hard paper and handed it to Locke.

Locke caught it carefully. It seems that this Brian chamber of commerce is a dark son arranged on the east coast of the three western islands.

After saying goodbye to master Pearson, Locke took his two daughters to the street of morrington port.

Although molington port is a port, in Locke's view, both the area and population are close to the level of a provincial capital of the omor empire.

There are many soldiers patrolling on the street. Judging from the strength of those soldiers, there are many ordinary residents. Occasionally there are two entry-level attendants. The leaders are low-level attendants.

From this point of view, the general level of human Knights here is similar to or slightly stronger than that of the three western islands.

The three lockers who had just entered the port of molington did not attract the attention of the patrol soldiers.

Their clothes are very different from those of the residents here, but people here have seen more than ten million caravans and ships in and out of molington port every day, even more remote clothing habits.

These soldiers are on the street, on the one hand, to prevent people from making trouble. There is an inch of land and money in molington port, and there are always some desperators who take risks; On the other hand, it is to check the vagrants without identity and status.

Locke also had no identity, but judging from their clothes, they could not be beggars and vagrants, and these soldiers did not come to beg for trouble.

"Brother, where shall we go first?" Christine asked excitedly. Everything on morrington Street aroused the little girl's great curiosity.

There are magic shops here, even in Princeton, the imperial capital of the omor empire. This kind of store dedicated to magicians is also very rare.

"Go and get an identity first, and then change some gold coins here." Locke said.

The administrative area of molington port is located in the southeast of the town. It is the first developed area of molington port. The roads on the ground are made of white marble bricks.

"Hello, what level of identity do you need?" Asked a well-dressed official politely in a room in the city hall.

Officials working in the city hall have developed a good look.

Locke and Christine showed their extraordinary from their walking posture, expression and subtle movements.

Either rich or expensive is the evaluation of the staff.

In addition, the strength of Locke's Quasi Knights must be faced up to a little by these officials.

How do they know Locke's strength? The city hall is naturally equipped with a set of props to obtain the real strength of others.

In order to pay attention, the City Hall official took them to a separate room for discussion.

Facts have proved that the official's approach is extremely correct.

A whole box of gold bars was removed from the space ring by Locke.

"What rank do you want? The knighthood requires 5000 gold, the Lord 10000 and the Baron 20000." The young official licked his dry lips.

The value of this box of gold bars in front of me is 30000 gold.

"I want a baron, and you can exchange all the rest of the money into gold." Locke said word by word.

"These two ladies?" Asked the young official.

There are women inheriting titles on the east coast. The famous female Archduke has several histories, but Locke doesn't know.

"Just their ordinary identity." Locke said.

They didn't come out for sightseeing. They wanted a layer of identity just to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"OK, just a moment, please." Said the young official.

When they started doing this, the car was light and the road was ripe to the extreme. Locke only tasted half of a cup of tea, and all the rules were completed.

When the Baron's medals and instruments were neatly placed in front of Locke, Locke understood the reality of the east coast.

It turns out that not only knowledge determines fate, but also the rule of money first.

"Is this lady a noble magician?" The official asked respectfully.

He meant Christine, sitting next to Locke, bored.

Christine's dress is very different from that of Locke and Raffi. She is wrapped in a light red robe, which is very similar to a magician, and she deals with all kinds of people all year round. This official can observe Christine's different side from ordinary people.

"Yes, I am." Christine was stunned and said that she didn't release her magic. How did the ordinary official see it.

"On the east coast, distinguished magicians can directly hold the title of Lord when they reach a middle-level apprentice. What is your magic level? Is it convenient for us to see your level certificate?" The squire finished at one breath. It seems that he often said this to people.

Christine didn't show the grade certificate to the official. With her beautiful fire wall and accurate control of magic, the powerful fire wall didn't damage anything in the room.

Seeing this, the officials did not talk nonsense. They took out a lord's medal and documents and handed them over. They had already prepared them.

Fire wall is the signature magic of middle-level apprentices, integrating attack and defense. Even ordinary people like him know it on the east coast.

With a layer of nobility, Christine was very excited and looked around with her medal for a long time.

"Find a place to live first." Locke said. In his opinion, the medal is worthless.

Not to give you a medal, it means you are an aristocrat. Aristocrats are accumulated over the years and represent rights and status.

Without their own manor and power, no collar people and land, Locke and others, who spent tens of thousands of gold, now at best have the status of an aristocrat.

But that's enough.

Red leaf tavern, a very iconic store name, let Locke stand on the street and write down this tavern at a glance.

The prosperity of morrington port makes many pubs work as hotels.

After asking, the three of Locke asked for a super large room on the second floor.

It's better for three people to live together in a strange place for the first time. Locke doesn't deny that he has other thoughts.

Raffi has no opinion on such things, and Christine only listens to Locke. Of course, Locke decides.

"The treatment here seems to be especially good for magicians." In the room, touching Christine's noble medal, Locke thought deeply.

To magician youwo, in other words, there is not much special treatment for knights.

With the strength of quasi Knight Locke, no matter which country in the three western islands wants a title, he can at least be a Viscount, but here, he still needs to spend money to get a baron title.

Christine doesn't need to do anything. When she becomes a middle-level magic apprentice, her title will be sent to the door.

"Is a magician higher than a knight?" Locke said to himself. He was not sure whether this was the case in the kingdom of Manhattan under the port of morrington or on the east coast.

Or the whole wizard continent?!

This is the birthplace of magic and the most prosperous and powerful place in the wizard world.

Take one step at a time. In the face of the new environment, Locke is not in a hurry.
