"But...these tree people are owned by the wing people, so if you want to get the tree people, you have to have good dealings with the wing people." Ryan continued to answer.
"Let us discuss this, and we will give you an answer as soon as possible!" The Dark Elf Queen turned her head and looked at several elders. It was obvious that some of the elders were a little moved, but there was a powerful tribe near her residence. This
Whether it is a blessing or a curse has to be carefully discussed. After all, the relationship between the matter is too great, and the Queen of Dark Elf also sees that Ryan has a good relationship with this winged tribe. As the leader of a race, there are things that need to be considered.
It was all aspects, so the Dark Elf Queen hesitated for a moment, and then answered.
"Well, what about my marriage proposal?" Ryan hummed, and Ryan didn't expect the Dark Elf Queen to agree to it.
"There is no problem with this, but we, the Council of Elders, also need to discuss it carefully. After all, the dark elf marries a human, and they are two together. We must give an explanation to the tribe, right?" The dark elf queen has not yet answered, but the great elder is the first to take the lead.
He spoke.
"Haha, I'm just waiting for your good news!" After saying this, Ruian stood up and was about to leave. Ruian felt a little unhappy, but Ruian didn't care. He was really desperate to deal with these people with unstable foundations.
Guys, there are plenty of ways to deal with them.
With the enthusiastic embrace of the elders of the Presbyterian Church and the Dark Elf Queen, Ryan left the territory of the Dark Elf clan. Ryan returned very quickly. When he came, Ryan mainly wanted to observe the construction of infrastructure, and
The surrounding terrain, when I came back, I just thought of it and returned to the lord's mansion in the wilderness.
The Lord's Mansion is still a huge cave, but this cave has been expanded many times and is already the size of a city. There are also several huge caves within dozens of miles around it. These are the residences built by the dwarves.
, but the other caves are all connected together, forming a
A huge city, but it looks like a small city outside. This small city is mainly used by some races that are not used to living in caves. However, the orcs in the Great Wasteland and the dwarves and dwarves in the Underdark still like to live in it.
Inside the cave, because the surface of the wilderness is really too cold.
"Master, you are back. The elders of the dwarf clan have surveyed the direction of the earth veins and have determined that there will be a large number of mineral veins and volcanoes in one direction." An old man from the Fox clan saw Ryan coming back and reported quickly.
"Well, I understand, but let those dwarves be careful. I will take action if necessary." Ryan replied to the old man of the fox tribe. This was the first group of orcs to follow Ryan. The fox tribe among the orcs
He is very talented in handling some chores and calculations.
"Master, here are the expenses and income for the past two months, and the Orc Empire has sent people to collect taxes in the wilderness, do you think?" Another fox tribe said to Ryan with a stack of thick sheepskin scrolls.
said.
"Tax? What tax?" Ryan asked in surprise.
"Every spring and autumn, the empire will send people to collect taxes. Taxes are collected on a per-capita basis. Each person is worth 50 silver coins, regardless of size, adult or not." The fox tribe old man replied.
"The head tax, is it someone directly sent by the Orc Empire to collect the tax, or is it collected by other local lords?" Ryan asked further.
"It seems that a lord across the great wilderness came to collect taxes. It is said that this is his territory." The answer of the old man of the Fox tribe was a little vague.
"Where are the tax collectors?" Ryan asked.
"In the tavern below." The old man of the Fox tribe replied.
"Come here, bring the tax collector. I want to see who dares to come to my territory to collect taxes!" Ryan yelled and directly ordered to Biqi who was standing aside.
"Master, I'll go right away. These brats have been here for a few days, and they paid hundreds of gold coins for their entertainment. I've long wanted to teach these guys a lesson." Bichi replied and ran away.
He ran out, muttering as he ran, but it was clear who Ryan was and what he was muttering.
"Okay. You go down, but we will not reimburse the entertainment expenses of these people. You ask the tavern owner to ask them directly. If they don't give it, report it to the police station." Ryan asked these old fox tribe people to leave, but before they did,
Before leaving, Ryan gave special instructions to the old man of the Fox tribe who managed the market.
"Yes, sir, I'll go and handle it right away." The old man from the fox clan's eyes lit up and he quickly walked away.
Ryan looked at these old people leaving quickly, and he still felt a certain sense of pride in his heart. You must know that these old people of the orc clan had problems walking. It did not mean that their bodies were no longer good, but that they were suffering from long-term malnutrition. In the orcs' world,
In this world, old people will leave the tribe when they reach a certain age. Why? It’s because of food and the oppression of the empire, especially
In this vast wilderness, it is already very barren, and there is still half a year of frozen soil season, so the harvest is very small, and you may not even have enough to eat, not to mention you have to pay taxes, 50 silver coins per person, even in the transition of mankind.
The tax is very heavy. In the human country, a person only needs 10 copper coins a day to eat, and he can eat better, and his income is only more than 20 copper coins a day.
Copper coins, the monthly income is only about 6 silver coins, and the annual income is only 72 silver coins. This is the annual income of a commoner, and the objects in the wilderness are even more pitiful. The value of a snow fox skin in the human world
Hundreds of gold coins are just the price of a bag of coarse grains here. A bag of coarse grains is only the price of a few silver coins, or the price of a kitchen knife. Ryan still remembers
There must be an orc tribe where the richest patriarch only owns a complete iron pot. He is reluctant to use it at ordinary times and only takes it out when offering sacrifices. The rest of the families use rough items made of wood or stone.
, and most of the hunting tools are made of animal bones and teeth, so the head tax of 50 silver coins per person is simply extremely oppressive.
"Master, I brought it." It didn't take long for Beech to bring a dozen people. These dozen people were all powerful races among the orcs, including werewolves, leopards, cat people, and even Ryan.
The main reason for the unrecognizable guy is that there are too many races of orcs, and with the mixed blood, even the orcs themselves may not be able to fully recognize them.
"You are the person in charge here. If you build a house in our lord's territory without authorization, you must pay a building tax, and you must pay a mining tax for mining rocks, and..." A very strong leopard man
When he saw Ryan, he pointed at Ryan and said arrogantly, smelling of alcohol.
"Biqi, pull him down and let him wake up properly." Ryan ordered lightly. This werewolf is also a ninth-level warrior, but Biqi now is not the same as when Ryan just saw him. Biqi
There are several magic accessories on his body now, all of which have only one function, to increase strength and agility. The two big hammers are exquisite products made by dwarves.
"If you dare to point fingers in front of me, come here and pull me down. Master, I want to stretch my muscles." To Ryan's surprise, Biqi did not take action himself, but shouted loudly, which was quite a bit imposing.
.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" When the group of people saw the guards pouring in, they all drew out their swords and started to confront the guards under Beech.
"Hmph! If you dare to do something here, do it!" Bi Qi's face was originally very white, but now it turned dark. It was obvious that these people did not give him face.
"Take them down and tell me the answer later." Ryan waved his hand, and a huge force knocked these people to the ground. Ryan ordered Bi Qi, and then disappeared.
"What's wrong?" Ryan quickly returned to the headquarters of the Double Star Mercenary Group outside Black Dragon City. The communication rune Ryan gave Felix just now lit up. This was when Felix had major news.
This communication rune will be activated.
"The Dark Empire has declared war on the Light Empire and has already captured a small city and two towns." Felix handed Ryan a parchment scroll.
"Is there any other news? The Magician's Guild, the Mercenary Guild, and the Alliance Empire haven't said anything?" Ryan glanced at it and continued to ask.
"No, these big forces seem to be still waiting and watching." Felix replied.
"How is the troop deployment of the Bright Empire?" Ryan continued to ask.
"The Empire of Light has deployed a large number of troops on the edge of Black Dragon City, so the rest of the border is a bit empty. Those fools don't even think about it. If our Black Dragon City wants to expand, can those soldiers stop it?" Felix sneered.
"Who is attacking the Holy See of Light?" At this moment, a bright light appeared in front of Ryan, and a beautiful girl asked Ryan with anger.
"Niuniu..." Ryan knew who the girl was as soon as he saw it, and asked in surprise. Although Ryan knew that he had a soul contract with Niu Niu, and it was easy to enter and leave the spatial laboratory, Ryan didn't understand that Niu Niu was
What's the meaning.
"Who is this?" Before Ryan could ask, Felix looked at Niu Niu, pinched Ryan hard, and then started to confront Niu Niu.
"Reptile!" Niu Niu looked at Felix and spat out two words contemptuously.
"You! Looking for death! Boom!" Felix became angry all of a sudden. You know what the dragons hate the most is calling them reptiles. In just a moment, the room where Ryan was sitting was like tofu and was overwhelmed by Felix.
The body was burst, and Niu Niu also spread out her two wings in an instant.
"It turns out to be a bird-man! Or a bird-man with a pair of wings!" Felix saw that Niu Niu looked like a two-winged angel, laughed loudly, and then rushed towards Niu Niu.
"A black loach dares to be so arrogant!" Niu Niu replied not to be outdone, and then her whole body turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Felix.
"Holy shit...!" Ryan looked at the two shadows fighting in the sky with great depression, cursed secretly, and then bravely flew into the sky.
