Wu Ming also remembers the return of Baron Terry.
It is said that the Baroness has paid a large ransom to the Viscount Garcia.
And the ransom was transferred to the people of Baron Terry.
Even William was blackmailed by the tax official for two silver tales.
"So... Fengying plain, at last calm down again?"
Wu Ming asked softly.
"As an outsider, viscount Garcia was finally accepted by the blue blood nobles, but how to say... As long as people continue to exist, the struggle will not stop!"
After drinking, lorian was obviously open.
"Outsiders?"
Wu Ming is very sensitive to this.
After several months of exploration, he also knew something about Fengying plain.
Most of the nobles here can be traced back to the time of the conqueror taler. They have more or less his blood and call themselves "blue blood nobles".
Their leader is the count of blue mountain.
As a foreign nobleman, though Viscount Garcia also had noble blood from the Highlands, he was obviously not accepted by the obstinate and exclusive blue blood people.
However, through this war, presumably those blue blood nobles will begin to realize the Viscount's energy again.
"After the war, the Viscount Garcia married a daughter of the Earl of blue mountain, which was the beginning of being accepted... All the nobles who participated in the war did not sacrifice a single Lord, and only a few Knights died... This is the rule of the aristocratic game in this world..."
Wu Ming pondered silently and made more decisions about his future.
You must be an aristocrat and join the rules of the world!
Recognize the rules, use the rules, break the rules, and build the rules again!
This is an inevitable path with the rise of strength. Now Wu Ming is on this road.
Seeing that Wu Ming was not obviously disappointed, lorian was even more surprised.
All the gods will give such a talented, resourceful and patient young man a chance.
Therefore, he said slowly in a low voice: "William, you know, after the war, a lot of Baron's hands died, and more people were captured and sold to slaves..."
This kind of slave, if the family can still afford the ransom, may have a glimmer of hope to be redeemed. Unfortunately, the residents of nya town are generally not very rich, and the generous Baron is stingy of his every coin in this matter.
"The problem of shortage of manpower has been revealed in this autumn harvest... So the Baron is ready to take advantage of this free time to launch an expedition!"
"Expedition? Against whom? "
Wu Ming picked his eyebrows.
"Naturally, it's not the other noblemen, but the mice in the wasteland! Wild people in the mountains
Laughs lorian.
There are many kinds of savages in the wilderness. Pure cannibals can't talk to each other. When they meet one, they are all killed directly. But there are still some mountain people who hide in the mountains or wilderness purely to avoid taxes. Most of them have some skills. If they catch them, they are excellent serfs!
William was a tenant of Baron's land, but the serfs could not help themselves. They were the property of the Lord, or not in the class.
"I see!"
Wu Ming combined with William's memory, immediately understood that this is the alien version of the slave team.
"This time the leader is Lord takur, a real knight. The Baron agreed to give him 30 people, but you know, this number is far from enough, so I recommend you to him!"
"Lord takur is willing to pay you ten coppers a day, and he has the right to distribute the spoils, ask you to bring your own weapons and pass his test," lorian said! What do you think? "
"No problem, thank you, instructor!"
Wu Ming agreed without thinking.
Naturally, the task of the temporary soldier was not what he valued. It was the chance to get close to the knight that was really recommended by lorian.
Also, Wu Ming needs this very much.
Only when we are close to the top of the world and touch the rules of power, can we better improve our status and strength.
"Very well, take your sword and let's meet Lord takur!"
Lorian got up and took Wu Ming to the barracks in the town.
"My Lord!"
Seeing him coming, the two soldiers on guard immediately raised their heads and saluted.
"Where is Lord takur?"
Lorian's four advisers.
"On the training ground! You will see him as soon as you go! "
The training ground in the barracks was very large. At this time, it was empty. Only a strong man like a black bear was dancing a pure black ox horn hammer. The terrible wind roared, making the soldiers around dare not come forward.
Tall and strong!
This is Wu Ming's first impression of the knight.
William himself is already very tall, but the knight of tacur is even two heads taller than him, not to mention the other's arm is thicker than his thigh!
"The power..."
After seeing the figure, Wu Ming was already very surprised. When the other side dropped the hammer and made a small hole on the ground, his pupils shrank slightly: "absolutely beyond the limit of ordinary people!"
Every value of ordinary people has its limit. After several months of training, Wu Ming can be sure that he has stood at the peak of ordinary people.
What it represents is the most perfect limit.
But in front of this knight, actually broke through the ordinary rank, broke through the mortal limit!
"Sure enough... Extraordinary power still exists!"
Wu Ming watched takur take a big step and walk a little bloated, but he was relieved: "of course, this extraordinary seems to have defects. It only increases strength and gives up speed?"
Just from each other's walking posture, Wu Ming can see a lot of things.
If he goes all out, with his dexterity and swordsmanship, plus a good sword, he will have a chance to make the knight win the first prize!
Of course, this is based on great danger. If you are accidentally hit by his attack first, it will really become a meat pie.
"Ha ha! Lorian, is this William you mentioned earlier? Good
Takur patted Wu Ming on the shoulder with great effort. Although Wu Ming could resist, he turned white and shook his face.
"Well, it's strong!"
Even though this performance, takur was also very satisfied: "you will be a qualified soldier! Boy... This hunting, you may be able to snatch a woman from the wild people! "
Obviously, in his mind, military action of this degree can only be regarded as plunder.
"Well, let me see your swordsmanship again!"
Takur laughed. Seeing Wu Ming's sword, he shook his head again: "you need a new sword. Believe me, although the stone axes and wooden spears of the barbarians and cannibals are dull, it takes a lot of strength and a good sword to split them!"
After watching Wu Ming's several swordsmanship movements, he has regarded Wu Ming as his own soldier.
"We'll start three days later, just as the sun rises. Of course, you can come to the barracks ahead of time."
Taler is obviously very optimistic about this little guy named William.
"I see!"
Wu Ming saluted deeply, but his keen perception was that he was always looking at the taler knight in front of him.
"Surprisingly strong, I don't know if I get it through exercise or other means..."
In this world, it's very demanding to become a knight. Even if you are promoted, you need to pay a lot. It's said that you have to carry out a series of rituals.
For example, go to Wuthering castle, pray for seven days and seven nights in the church, and apply some holy oil. For this reason, the knight himself needs to donate a large amount of money to the church.
If he could, of course, Wu Ming would like to get a study of holy oil. Unfortunately, in his current status, he is just dreaming.
He also wants to study the mystery of blue blood. Can't he bleed Baron Terry's family directly?
Some things, once done, are public enemies of the whole world, which are greatly detrimental to our own big plans.
Out of the barracks, Wu Ming went to his kennel and began to calculate secretly.
He also had a little interest in the study of savages and cannibals in the wilderness and deep mountains.
Especially for the real savages, it is said that they have their own unique beliefs, customs and culture. Although they look vulgar and barbaric to the residents of the small town, there is no truth hidden in them.
"Wuwu..."
Just as he passed by aunt Roya's Hotel, he found that there were a group of people around here. Sophia's cry came faintly, which made him stop and squeeze in.
"Mrs. Roya, according to the Lord's latest decree, you have owed wine tax for several months! Leather tax! And a daily cleaning tax! "
Among the crowd, the fat tax official, Fidel, with a glossy face and a tax slip, said triumphantly, "counting the interest accumulated before, it's five gold delongs in total, plus seven silver tales!"
"Gods
Next to someone whispered: "more greedy than a vampire!"
"Shut up, all of you
Fred looked around. "Are you going to pay for this poor lady? I don't have any opinions myself! "
On hearing this, everyone shrank.
The LORD was captured, and the ransom was apportioned to the people. With the greedy tax official's burden, the burden was already heavy and almost unsustainable.
When he saw the crowd, Fred turned around triumphantly: "Mrs. Roya, if you can't pay off the tax today, I'm sorry to inform you that your house and hotel will be recovered as debt, and at the same time, you and your daughter will be sold as slaves!"
At this point, his eyes immediately stare at the crying Sophia, with a kind of evil light flashing.
"No!"
Aunt Roya exclaimed, "for the sake of the gods, you can't do that!"
