Chapter 285: Then I can also bully himTwo large groups of the rich squeezed at the gate of the city and were queuing up to pay the tax.
The reason why he could tell at a glance that they were from the two different rich groups was, of course, because of their clothes, as well as a large number of servants and guards that came and went around them. In fact, Robbs group was the same. Except for Robb, who only had a maid, everyone else had many guards and servants with them. They formed a large group.NewW novels updates at novelhall.com
The guards counted their heads one by one and then collected the tax according to their heads. Moreover, the guard had to greet some people who looked familiar, "Jacob XXX, nice to meet you again. Are you sending your son to school?"
"XXX, is your daughter also going to learn magic? Wow, that's really promising."
Such nonsense had seriously slowed down the speed of tax collection, causing the city gate to be blocked.
From the guards' familiarity with these people, it could be seen that these nobles were never that far from the center of power. If he was the kind of noble who often came to Bright Road to show his face, the guard could recognize him at a glance, but he only knew one of the people from their group from Westwind Town, that was, Kante.
This did not mean that the Morninglight family was close to the power center. It was just that their sugar caravans had come to Bright Road two times already, and the group was led by Mr. Kante, so the city guard could recognize the family of Kante and remember his face immediately.
Just as the city guards and the nobles greeted each other and counted the number of people before collecting the tax, a group of people in black armor came to the gate of the city. Their black armor was very thick, with a heavy and simple look. This kind of black armor could only be worn by one group in the entire Kingdom of Gran, which was the personal guard knight team of the former king, the Black Earth Knights, the former Royal Knights.
Robb had met this knight team once. When he saved Elsie and his three hundred templar knights. Hhe had fought with a swordsman from the Black Earth Knights, but Robb didn't bother to ask his name or position at that time, but judging from his ability to lead an army of one thousand people, he shouldn't be a nobody. (see Chapter 112.5 for the friend you forgot.)
The group of Black Earth Knights quickly drove away the guards at the city gate, and then announced loudly to the people who hadn't entered the city behind them, "there is an emergency in the city, and now strict inspection begins. Everyone who wants to enter the city must identify themselves. Guards, servants and other people whose identity cannot be verified must be guaranteed by the master, or they are not allowed to enter the city."
The people in front of them had just entered the city, so it was fine. But Robb's group was still stuck outside the city gate, so they couldn't enter. They had to "have an inspection".
The knights next to her answered in unison, "yes!"
The guards of the noble children couldn't help but shout, "since you have known that he is not a bad man, why did you throw him?"
The woman knight said calmly, "since your young master also knows that my subordinate is a soldier of the Black Earth Knights, why did he try to bully him? Just because he is superior to a soldier in status? In that case, I can bully him because of my high status. Doesnt he deserve it?"
The guards were rendered speechless
Now no one spoke
Robb, who was watching them from behind, asked in a low voice, "who is that woman? She has a very high status and is very powerful. She can refuse to give face to anyone."
"She really has the qualification. She is the head of the Black Earth Knights, also known as the head of the Royal Knights, Duke Madeleine.
Robb exclaimed, "She is a duke at such a young age?"
Duke was the greatest title thats right beside the king.
Kante whispered, "The former head of the Black Earth Knights is her father. Back then, he fought the black dragon with the old king and died in the battle with the king and his wife, while she inherited the title of her father and his loyal subordinates of the Black Earth Knights. At that time, she was also young and chased by Mondra with the princess at the same age. They escaped to the lost city together. She was the most trusted subordinate and friend of the queen. In this city, no one could compare with her to her, and no one has more trust than her. Whoever she wants to bully will have to endure it. "
Robb laughed, "haha, I see. That's interesting!"
