"Pay taxes?" Sarin was a little stunned. After putting on the mage's robe, he slowly got used to the days of not paying taxes at the gate.
"Nonsense, the three of you are all bigger than me, and of course you have to pay taxes."
Sarin looked closely at the soldier who stopped him. The soldier was not very tall, but he was very strong. He did not wear metal armor, and his leather armor was supported by him like a skin bag for crossing water. The soldier had a beard on his face, his beard was long, and his eyebrows were long. A face looked like an ape creature.
"How much is it?" Sarin was not entangled, and he had to obey the rules when he arrived. As long as everyone else pays, he doesn't care even if it is thirty or fifty gold coins.
"You are a mage, double the tax for entering the city, 1 silver coin, and the other two are also 1 silver coin."
Sarin is very sensitive to the numbers on the money. One silver coin is already very high in his opinion. The average city will only levy such taxes on horses and horses. The pedestrian is at most one or two copper coins.
Is there a problem with the master's intelligence? Even such a high entry tax is charged. No wonder the mercenaries left afar and refused to enter the city. How to do business like this?
There were no silver coins on Sarin's body, only gold coins. He took out one and gave it to the soldiers.
The soldier threw the gold coin into the box next to it, waved his hand, and said, "Go, go."
Sarin looked at the box and said nothing. A gold coin is equivalent to ten silver coins, and he was deducted eight silver coins. Having time to quarrel with the soldier, it is better to hurry to see the idiot.
Green Dragon ’s magic core did not intend to be greedy for ink, and these silver coins are not bad.
"Excuse me, how do I get to the county government?" Salin smiled and expressed his goodwill.
After receiving the money, the soldier was also kind, pointing at the road with his finger: "From here, go forward ten streets, turn right, and then walk two streets to the left, and you will see it."
"Thanks." Sarin nodded and pulled Sika and Nellis away from the gate.
Sika and Nellis were forced to learn Qin Yin language by Sarin during these two months. Nellis also needs to learn lingua franca. Now both Sika and Nellis have made great progress. Sika can say that Nellis can write.
"Sarin, we seem to have been tricked into eight silver coins." Sika said dissatisfiedly. After she came out of the village, she didn't have a lot of silver coins in her body. Now, when she entered the city, she was detained so much, which made her feel bad.
Naris also stuttered and said, "Lord, master, no, no, not as good as me, go and kill him."
"Shut up!" Sarin reprimanded, and although there were few pedestrians on the street, people who came and went could hear Neris' words. The trouble comes from the mouth. In case of any trouble caused by these words, I don't know how to deal with it.
The evil gate of Kushui County is very clean, the streets are spotless, and the pedestrians look very leisurely and dress gorgeously. The simple houses on both sides of the street also have an unspeakable charm. Pay close attention, you will find that these houses are almost magically decorated.
It is as quiet as a village, more luxurious than noble castles.
The further he went, the more surprised Sarin was, because he met many magicians along the way. Although they are all white robe masters, this makes him unacceptable.
In Skochenya, only the prosperous big cities have magicians. In places like Sarin ’s hometown, having apprentices is good. There are many mages here like flies.
There are not only mages, but also swordsmen. Moreover, these swordsmen are obviously not mercenaries. They all wear robes and carry Qin Yin's eight-sided sword around their waists.
Salin likes the city because of the hustle and bustle of the city, which is full of hearts. In the crowd, even loneliness will be washed away a lot. But in Kushui County, he could not feel the breath of the city.
Here is organized, everyone will not make a loud noise, quiet and terrible.
The street was very long, and Salin and others walked a few miles, and then they crossed ten streets and turned right. The street is quieter, and pedestrians are barely visible. Double rows of trees were planted on both sides of the road. The trees are tall and upright, with lush foliage. The sunlight was almost completely shaded, and the bluestone road beneath the trees exuded a little chill in the shade.
A carriage drove head-on, and the horseshoes were fast and fast. As he approached Salin and others, the golden bell outside the carriage whipped and made a clear sound.
Sarin suddenly understood why he was uncomfortable. This city is very beautiful, every detail is so charming, but this city is extremely proud. This arrogance is not aimed at anyone, and it does n’t even care who you are.
This arrogance is like the golden bell of the carriage, which does not have any arrogant meaning, but it hurts Sarin's low self-esteem.
The street was so wide that the carriage would not hit Sarin at all, and Sarin made a subconscious movement to avoid it.
The driver was wearing an ancient brocade and his chin shook slightly, as if nodding his thanks to Sarin. Sarin turned his head to not look at him, and his heart was depressed. If you are the one who drove the car, is it necessary to dress like this? This ancient brocade is not even reluctant to wear. Damn, Qin Yinren has no place to spend.
But I have money. Sarin touched the gift ring on his hand, which contained a very rare pile of gemstones, and his heart was more balanced.
I walked two streets and looked to the left. Sure enough, I saw the county government from afar. Because there are no more buildings nearby.
Nellis looked relaxed at first, and when she saw the tall mansion from afar, her expression immediately became dignified. This mansion gave her a feeling like the cage that had trapped her for tens of thousands of years. As long as he went in, I was afraid that everything would make him alone.
This mansion imitates the style of the fourth dynasty, with bricks, glazes, and tall courtyard walls, but there are rhombic tiles in the upper part of the wall. The main door was closed tightly, and a side door opened only nearly 100 meters to the right. In front of the steps, the leaves are not swept, the stone piles tied to the horse have been eroded by the years, and the original patterns have long been worn away.
This kind of antiquity, you can't buy it for money.
There are no guards at the door, which is different from Skochenya. The noble mansion of Scochenia, he wished that he could display thousands of troops in front of the door to show his majesty.
Entering the stairs, the left side of the door is the porter. When Salin and other talents pass the threshold, someone makes a voice inside: "Who is it?"
Sarin was a little confused. Is the defense of the magistrate's residence so lax?
The rank of the nobles in various countries is still clear. The head of the Qin empire can only be the daughter of the emperor. After the closure of the county, it is equivalent to a first-class marquis. Taxes within a hundred miles of Kushui County are owned by the head of the county, and there may be more than ten towns under their command. This is not the kind of title awarded by the Clyde family, but the real power.
If there is a war, the lord may command tens of thousands of soldiers, no different from the Duke.
Uncomfortable, Sarin pushed open the door and entered the porter. The room is not big, the window is half-supported, there is a table, the author behind the table is a young man, holding a book to read. When Sarin came in, he put down the book and looked up and asked, "What's the matter?"
"See the lord of the county." Sarin looked at the entire young man and found that there was some elemental fluctuation in the young man's body.
Turned out to be a magic apprentice? And people who have produced elemental fluctuations, at least advanced magic apprentices. A high-level magic apprentice is likely to become a first-level magician within a few years and be used as a porter. Is it too extravagant?
"Have you posted your name?"
"No."
"Can there be an invitation?"
"nor."
"Then why are you here? Go out." The young man didn't care about the identity of Sarin's magician, raised his voice slightly, and began to rush people.
"I am entrusted by others." Sarin said, taking out the badge left by Qin Yin swordsman and putting it on the table.
The young magic apprentice saw the badge, and then took it seriously. He picked it up and said, "Wait here."
After all, he left the porter and walked out.
Sarin did not dare to walk around, but could only endure in this little house. He glanced at the book left by the magic apprentice on the table, without the title. He turned the book over, but it was a piece of common sense written in Qin Yin language.
"Don't run around." Sarin told Nellis and Sika to find a chair and sit down, looking at the magic book.
The books are old and the material is just plain paper. Every page is written densely, and there are symbols marked with red ink between the lines.
Sure enough, it is the most common common sense book, and the highest experience is the first-level magic. Sarin quickly flipped through it, and the last few pages wrote about meditation.
In Sarin's opinion, this meditation was crude, but it was marked with more notes. Many of the comments are wrong, only a few involve real meditation.
The apprentice returned quickly, followed by a magician behind him. Seeing Sarin looking through his book, the apprentice was not angry, but said to Sarin: "Follow him."
Sarin put down the book, and the magician nodded to Sarin, saying, "Come with me, the lord is waiting."
Sarin glanced at the magic mark on the magician's white robe. Like himself, he was also a first-level wizard. The mage took Salin and others out of the porter and went deep into the mansion.
Passing through the unknown courtyard, Sarin was taken to a house near the water. The room was unusually wide, with no walls on the waterfront side, all open windows.
The water ripples outside the window, and the wind blows in.
In the center of the room is a table only half a meter high. Behind the table, there was a woman sitting on the floor. There were several servants waiting beside the woman. On the table were celadon tableware. There were only four simple things.
The woman turned her back to Sarin, her long hair hanging down her waist, like black satin. Sarin's heart tightened, not knowing why, a little uneasy. The woman couldn't see her face, but made him breathe a little faster.
The woman's upper body is a Luo shirt, the long skirt is only cotton, without any decoration. Just looking at the back, it looks a little thin. Sarin involuntarily gave birth to pity. Not because of the chill that the wind blows into the room, but the woman's back, the unspeakable loneliness.
"Sovereign, the man brought." The magician lowered his voice as much as possible, as if afraid to disturb the cleanliness here.
"Well, let's go down." The woman spoke, but her voice was round and full of texture. Sarin held his breath, not knowing how to speak.
