On the endless plain, there is a vast field with plump golden ears of wheat. Fairies and humans are working together to harvest the wheat field.
"call……"
A female goblin wiped the sweat from her head and returned to the wheat field to take a sip of the mysteriously cold water.
"that is?"
While looking at the fields with contentment, she saw a cloaked figure walking in the distance.
"Hey, are you a foreigner over there?"
She greeted him warmly and looked after him kindly.
"You were also kicked out of the southern city with strict rules, right? Did you come to the north to seek refuge in Sheffield? I understand what you are thinking. This is a city where fairies and humans cooperate with each other and strive to create a better life. Come thank you.
Field is definitely right!"
The cloaked man stopped and looked at the female goblin.
Ouch, what a big bear!
Literally speaking, this female goblin probably comes from the Fang Clan, so she has an appearance closer to an animal. She is like a brown bear walking upright, and she looks like she has a lot of strength!
"Don't come here anymore, Kurma! You obviously have to rest for half an hour after ten minutes in the fields. Are you so lazy? Look at your husband, he has been working for three consecutive hours without even saying he is tired.
Can't you be more diligent like him?"
"That's right, Kurma is a sloth bear!"
From the nearby fields came the sound of joyful teasing.
"Hey, be careful, I'll beat you up!"
Kurma raised his huge fist and threatened angrily.
The goblins from other clans ran away laughing.
Jiang Li looked around the wheat field.
There are fairies of the Fang Clan like Kurma, fairies of the Wind Clan who look just like humans but have moth wings, and fairies of the Earth Clan who look as powerful as dwarves.
It might be a little difficult to tell in this way, but it becomes much easier if you put it into a different world fantasy novel.
The fairies of the Fang Clan are orcs, the fairies of the Wind Clan are elves, and the fairies of the Earth Clan are dwarves.
These are the three main mainstream fairies in Fairy Country at present.
In fact, there are a total of six clans in the Fairy Kingdom, but there is very little news about the King's Clan, the Mirror Clan, and the Wing Clan, and Jiang Li doesn't know much about them either.
In this wheat field outside the city of Sheffield, goblins from various clans were playing harmoniously and harvesting the ears of wheat.
Even the goblins of the Wind Clan and the Earth Clan, who were generally considered to be the most incompatible, were talking and laughing, and it looked like a peaceful scene.
Not only that, humans are among them, and most of them are working very hard.
"That's your husband?"
Jiang Li looked at the nearby wheat field. Like everyone else, the human male had been immersed in work, completely ignoring that his wife was talking to a stranger.
"Yes, he is very strong, right?"
Kurma put her hands on her hips and smiled proudly.
"He is very weak."
However, Jiang Li saw at a glance that the man was barely supporting himself in his work, panting heavily and not stopping. He seemed to have an unusual motivation, like a monster chasing him behind him.
"Yeah?"
Kurma touched his head in confusion and smiled innocently.
You are his wife, don't you know how weak he is?
Oh, not necessarily.
Maybe she was the one who squeezed people into this?
"If you don't talk about these disappointing things, you must be a human, right? Are you from the southern city?"
Kurma looked up and down at Jiang Li with some excitement.
"Yes, can you see it?"
"Humans are very special partners to goblins! Human emotions are the source of goblins' vitality. As long as humans are around, the goblins' happiness will be greatly improved. You can tell the difference between humans and goblins by this!"
Kurma explained with a smile, but asked solemnly.
"Do you know how Norwich is doing now?"
"I heard that we are in a great disaster."
"Yes, the biggest topic in the Fairy Country now is probably the great disaster in Norwich. I don't know when it will break out. The lord of Norwich, the leader of the Earth Clan, Spriggan, doesn't know if he can
It’s really worrying to be able to withstand a catastrophe!”
Kurma seemed very talkative, but Jiang Li didn't speak, silently listening to her complaints.
The Great Disaster in Norwich is the biggest topic in the Fairy Kingdom?
Why didn't he feel that kind of atmosphere at all when he was in the royal capital of Camelot?
In order to welcome him, the goblins in the royal capital held a celebration for three days and three nights. The atmosphere was so festive that not a single goblin ever talked about Norwich.
Jiang Li had just heard about the once-in-a-millennium disaster happening in Norwich from Bagster.
"Moreover, we also have to pay the Queen's existence tax, half of which is paid every year. This proportion is too large. The Queen's harsh rule makes many fairies intolerable!"
"Existence tax?"
Jiang Li suddenly pricked up his ears and heard the word he cared about.
"what is that?"
"You don't even know this?"
Kurma stared at him blankly, as if he were looking at some country bumpkin who ran out of a mountain nook.
“That’s what the existence tax is.”
Although she was strange, her eyes became more and more kind, and she raised her hand kindly.
Jiang Li saw scarlet lines on the back of her hand.
"This is called the Command Spell. It is engraved on us by the Queen. Every goblin will have this command since birth. The Queen will use this Command Spell to take away half of our life force every year as our existence tax!"
"It would be fine if it was 12%, but who can bear to collect half of it at once? We lower-level goblins have to be afraid every year, for fear that next year we will be squeezed out alive due to lack of vitality!"
"I really hope that the Lord of Sheffield can overthrow the Queen's evil rule as soon as possible!"
Did that queen actually implement this kind of rule?
Jiang Li's mind gradually became more active.
It fits the name of a witch.
If this is the case, it is more in line with Jiang Li's interests.
It will become much easier for him to overthrow the Fairy Kingdom!
Kurma invited Jiang Li to her home in every possible way, but Jiang Li declined politely.
He planned to observe the city called Sheffield more to see what kind of rule the lords here implemented.
After crossing the wheat field, Jiang Li arrived at the main entrance of Sheffield.
"What a spectacular city wall. This is Sheffield. The lord here must be a good man, right?"
"Oh, Anis is sympathetic to good city walls? But it doesn't necessarily mean that the lord is a good person. Boggart is famous for being ruthless!"
Jiang Li was just about to pass through the main gate when he saw a strange yet familiar figure in the blink of an eye.
The girl known as Annes looked at Sheffield's spectacular high walls in amazement.
She wears astringent iron armor, carries a cross shield in one hand, has short silver-pink hair covering one eye, and looks like a pretty girl with her delicate face and plump figure.
