MTL - Cthulhu Gonfalon-Chapter 25

With only the fast-moving horses to go down the wind, the Gerrard took less than half an hour to catch up with the business group that was marching.

When he threw the bodies of the two heads of the orc wolf-riding group into the van and told the identity of the two orcs, the entire business group was boiling.

The pleasant businessmen carefully examined the two bodies and determined their identity from some details. Others took out the transcript of the reward and compared the portraits on the reward order.

Undoubtedly, these two deadly and ugly orcs are the leaders of criminal groups who have led a large group of thieves to ravage the four northwestern towns, attacking villages and merchants, and brutal and awkward!

Orc wolf riding group, finished!

The merchants cheered and cheered, and the team that thanked Gerard was surrounded. And after the words of thanks, they also made up a sum of money, as a reward.

Of course, Xiong Xiong does not intend to accept the money. In his opinion, the group of orcs dare to come to the group to ambush themselves. It is a matter of course to fight against a wave of direct killings. Why do businessmen want to give themselves money? Even if you want to collect money, it is time to go to the town, go to the adventure guild to get a bounty.

But this time it was his turn to be convinced. Gerrard told him that after the bandits were wiped out, the merchants were rewarded and it was a matter of course in civil society. If you do not collect money, it will make these businessmen unhappy.

In this case, Yan Xiong is not an old-fashioned old-fashioned one. Of course, he will not reject this legitimate income.

The benefits of destroying the orc wolf-riding group are far more than these, and many valuable spoils have been found from the two bodies. Because both of them are scared to death, so the body is basically not damaged, just the "blood hand" magic leather armor and magic scimitar, it is worth the ordinary businessman's income for one month.

Not to mention that there are other things. For example, the two orcs have a space bag. The "blood hand" is empty. There is nothing but money and medicine. I want to change the main income. Become a variety of equipment, as much as possible to improve their combat effectiveness; but the old shaman space bag can be very good, there are more than a thousand light gold coins, a variety of gems, advanced potions and reels, add up More than this.

The wealth in these two space bags, plus the equipment of the two orc heads, plus the rewards under their name, according to the estimates of the old Sos, can be easily discounted, the total is only more than two Thousand gold coins!

20,000 gold coins! When I heard this number, Gerard’s whole person was lost.

What does this number mean? The main income of the villagers in Baiye Village comes from logging charcoal and planting golden vines, a poorly-tasting crop, but it can fight negative energy and is a staple food for civilians in the ash forest area. On average, one family, working hard for one year, can take about three to five to six or seven gold coins. Among them, the Church of the Sleepless Church has to collect at least 70% of the tax, and only one or two can be left.

"Wait, at least 70% of the tax? This is too embarrassing!" Xiong Xiong listened to him here, could not help but exclaimed, "This kind of pit goods, shouldn't it be against his mother!"

"Your Majesty, this tax is very light." Gerard was surprised, explaining that "the church's taxation is based on the fact that the peasants have already retained the rations. In other words, it is the taxation of 'Yu Cai'. In contrast, when the aristocratic lords collect taxes, no matter whether the peasants have money or money, that is the real heavy tax."

Yuxiong knew that he had made a mistake. In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that if you can't guarantee the basic needs of life, who will be willing to live in this night there will be a ghost place!

This is like the Snake Hunter said, the snake is dangerous, but it is better to catch the snake than the levy tax and various servants!

"No matter which world, it is tyrannical and fierce!" He secretly sighed and sighed deeply.

Gerrard naturally did not know Yuxiong’s feelings and continued: “The whole white leaf village is about to be able to pay taxes of about 200 gold coins a year. 20,000 gold coins are equivalent to one hundred years of tax in this village. From the perspective, when I was an adventurer, the whole team went down for a year, but it was about a thousand gold coins, and our team was already a very powerful adventurer."

"Your Majesty, you think, it is only 5,000 gold coins to expel the evil dragons. It is only a thousand gold coins to kill a criminal who kills the nobles. It destroys the famous bandits of the orc wolf riding group, but only two thousand gold coins. How many 20,000 gold coins are there? I can imagine it!"

Yan Xiong nodded slightly, and finally had a clear impression of the value of the two thousand gold coins.

"With this money, we can build a temple - Your Majesty, I suggest that we also open up a village, so that we can monopolize the belief of a village. Although not many, it is safe, there is no risk. After two years of stability, the village can continue to open up new villages. After opening up several villages, you can build a town..." Gerard wants to go farther and farther, "so as long as you have been through a hundred or two years, you can have Several towns, more than a dozen villages, at least tens of thousands of people have stable beliefs."

In his opinion, Gerard really thinks too far and too far, even if the Chinese who often hang on the "hundred years of the big plan" are actually just talking about it, who will suddenly become a long-term The plan of one or two hundred years seems to be very serious to implement?

But after thinking about it, he understood the reason.

Whether he or Gerrard, in theory, it is immortal. For a hundred years or two hundred years, for them, it is nothing more than a few hot and cold, watching the leaves grow and fall, watching the villagers die and die, and that's all.

The word "longevity" is not an illusion in this world, but a real reality.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of this plan?" Gerald asked.

Yan Xiong smiled twice and said vaguely: "No hurry, wait until I know more about the world."

"Alright, the wisdom of the gods is far from being accessible to mortals. Maybe you will have a better plan soon, and you can improve your belief system more quickly." The loyal Gerrard nodded again and again. "But I think, It is quite safe to build several villages with monopoly of faith..."

Their conversations were all completed with ideas. The old Soss next to him saw Gerard standing motionless. He seemed to be thinking about something. He couldn’t help but remind him: "White brother, this is not finished yet, there is still a big income. Waiting for you!"

He really helped Xiongxiong, so the topic immediately moved from establishing a village to generating income.

"Generally speaking, the bosses of these bandit gangs will have a secret treasure place, so that when the future is unlucky, Dongshan will rise again, or after the exit, they will support the elderly. The orc wolf riding group has been raging in the northwest four towns for five or six years. The leader 'Blood Hands' must also have its own treasure." Old Sos said, "If you can find that place, there will definitely be a lot of money!"

Speaking of "a lot of money", the old Sos's face had a strange light, and the eyes were somewhat bright because of their age, and some of the dim eyes were bright again, and they were bright and dazzling.

Yan Xiong now understands why he will name his caravan "Lucky Gold Coin".

This old man is simply a financial fan!

“How much will it cost?” Palin asked curiously.

"At least 10,000 gold coins or more!" Old Soss said categorically, so that he was very curious about how he came to this conclusion.

Palin obviously did not have a great desire for money, or the baptism of the treasure worth 20,000 gold coins. He was not so surprised about the 10,000 gold coins. He nodded casually and returned to the campfire to study his magic book. .

Gerrard also nodded: "Sounds good, I will try to find this treasure."

"If you find it, be sure to bring me a souvenir! At least a complete gold coin!" Old Soss whispered but firmly stressed, "This is intelligence fee, although we are very good, but the rules are not Destroyed!"

A gold coin? !

Yan Xiong couldn’t help but laugh. He could see that Old Sos was not a joke. He said it very seriously, but he could not understand the old man’s ideas.

The human being in this world, the way of thinking is really strange!

However, Gerrard was clearly able to keep up with the old Sosnay's ideas. He also agreed very seriously and seriously, saying that he would definitely choose the most special souvenir for Old Sos and send it to him personally. in.

Old Sos was very satisfied and smiled and left.

"Gerald, what do you mean by that? What about souvenirs, is it important?" Yan Xiong could not help but ask.

"Your Majesty, this is a tradition among the adventurers." Gerard knows that his **** knows little about the human world and patiently explains to him, "Adventurers tend to get some treasures or other valuables." There are clues about things, but for a variety of reasons, many clues have not been able to verify them until they are old. So if you meet a younger person with matching personality, they will entrust those clues that they have not had time to verify to the other party. These clues, no matter how many things are obtained, must be commemorated by the predecessors. This is a respect for tradition and an inheritance of the adventurers' culture from generation to generation."

That's it!

When Yan Xiong suddenly realized, he suddenly felt that the old body of Sosos had become tall and tall.

Older predecessors, entrusting their experiences and dreams to the younger generations, then the younger generations will be given a souvenir when they are successful, so that they can no longer share the joy of success, and they can share the joy of success. His own pursuit is not in vain... This kind of love for adventure, this spirit of passing by, is really touching!

This is like the former e-sports strongman. Although retired, the level is low enough to be hoarded by amateur players, but still loves the game, retreats and retreats, insists on fighting in the commentary position. Even if you change from a strong person to a weak chicken, you should use a cross-talking way to guide the audience to love the game, and share happiness with everyone. Even if it becomes a joke, it is called a comedian, and there is no regrets...

Although the world is different, the inner spirit is basically the same!

"Old Sos, after you die, I will definitely help you reinvigorate your body. It will be time to give you a super strong body, even if your legs are short and short, it doesn't matter, make sure that the knife is cut and the gun is flooded and burned. Nothing is frozen, so you can break through all kinds of obstacles even with the way you roll your face, and continue your adventures!"

The giant jellyfish, who was moved by the ground, scratched his chin with tentacles in the underground cave, and smiled gratifiedly. I didn’t feel that my thoughts were wrong...
