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?"

"Weren'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 there, which is tens of thousands!"

"Tsk~"

"No, it sounds like it's nearby, like something is falling from the sky."

"Whatever, I didn't tell you why there are 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 for real, I would suspect that the noble gentlemen are defrauding us of our taxes!"

"My wife and I work so hard that we earn three hundred and sixty crystal yuan a month. The day before yesterday, the war tax collection was a fucking nine hundred and eighty yuan, and yesterday it was another one thousand and eighty yuan. Damn, Fuck is having a bad time! "

"I earn four hundred a month, and I paid two thousand in three days!"

"What are we doing? It can't be said that it's miserable compared to the outer city. Many families in the outer city have borrowed money at usurious rates. The behavior of the catechism priests taking 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 gone up 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. 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, I'll be impressed by you three days after leaving. 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, doesn't the extra resources out of thin air mean 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 water-like transparent black gems, occupy an unusually large proportion in his eyes. Because he squints slightly when he smiles, the whites of his eyes are reduced to only 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. The sea cauliflower, cress and wild leeks just arrived in the morning. You will definitely like the wild leeks. They grow in the crevices of the rocks at an altitude of 3,000 meters in the floating land. They have rice-sized bulbs at the roots and are used with bison meat. Absolutely delicious fried!”

Eugene's fawning behavior made the customers in the store look down upon him. No one said anything. First, they didn't dare. Second, everyone's life was not easy. Common people really couldn't afford to offend those masters who ate meat and drank 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 Department of Doctrine, the Guards, the Logistics Department and the CEOs."

CEO, the full name is Code Enforcement Officer or City Code Enforcement Officer. It's easy to understand. It's generally called urban management law enforcement.

"Oh, they are them. I represent the Round Table Council of Tili City-State. I collect war surcharges, 2,300 crystals. Pay up!"

"My lords, our shop has a small capital and little profit. We have already paid thousands of crystals, which is all the money we have saved since opening the shop. I really can't give you that much. Can you be more tolerant?"

As he said, Eugene stepped forward and tactfully and covertly stuffed a small bag of crystals into the captain's hand.

"You are sensible! This is all the will of the higher-ups. We are just doing things for them, so we have no choice. But it is not a big deal to reduce a little. Eh?"

The captain's eyes passed Eugene and fell on the figure wearing full body black meteorite armor behind him. His expression suddenly changed. He was puzzled and a little afraid and humble: "Excuse me, who are you? The chief guards of the Ministry of Doctrine are urgently gathered to Sochi Castle today. You didn't miss the dispatch order."

Noble black hair and black eyes!

Handsome!

This is definitely the favorite of the Ministry of Doctrine

The full body heavy armor does not wear inscribed shoulder straps, but it can be foreseen that at least it must be a chief guard level!

The captain's mind suddenly became active.

"All? Emergency assembly?"

"You really don't know this." The captain looked anxious, and his fawning expression made the people in the store feel seriously uncomfortable. "If you miss the dispatch order, you will be dismissed. The dispatch order was just issued 40 minutes ago. You may still be in time if you rush there now."

"Well, it is indeed useful news." The young black-haired handsome man in full armor walked up to the captain under Eugene's stunned and terrified eyes, looking down at the captain, "Tell me this news, what benefits do you want to get?"

The captain was ecstatic at first, then remembered that there were onlookers and his younger brothers around, and felt that he couldn't be too direct, so he said a little "shyly": "I dare not, it is an honor to have the friendship of a noble commander of the guards!"

The look is like a dog waiting for the owner to throw snacks.
