Chapter 145: The Village Chief and the Kingdom Tax Collector

Hearing Xuanyuan's words, Higginson looked incredulous:

"Hey, what are you talking about!?"

"The last Knight Commander of the Kingdom is a legendary figure. It is said that he has the most perfect, strongest, most elegant and most incredible muscles in the entire kingdom."

"The king wanted to marry the princess to him at that time, but he refused on the spot, which made the king furious."

"He disappeared ten years ago and no one could find him. How could that lord be such a weak guy like Uncle Beggar?"

Speaking of this.

Higginson seemed to remember the magic of Xuanyuan being able to say his name in one breath, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the bearded beggar with doubt:

"Hey! Uncle Beggar!"

"Isn't what he said true?"

The other party slowly shook his head and sighed:

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."

"I have been hiding my identity here for so many years, but someone can see through my background at a glance."

He looked up and down at Xuanyuan:

"Who are you?"

"Why do you know about me? How much do you know?"

Xuanyuan raised his head silently.

Looking at the top of the bearded beggar's head, there is a title frame with a bright golden streamer effect, and another smaller silver star-falling effect title frame.

[The Strongest Knight of the Kingdom]

[Former Knight Commander of the Kingdom]

[Ingvar]

The glorious title on Ingvar's head is so conspicuous that Xuanyuan has noticed from a distance that this big man who tried to disguise himself as an unknown beggar on the roadside.

The title effect on this guy's head is almost more conspicuous than the entire village behind him.

It can only be said that this place is too much like a game world. The title that only Xuanyuan can see makes everything a little strange.

Xuanyuan shook his head:

"To be honest, I don't know much."

The blond boy Higginson on the side seemed extremely excited:

"Wow! Uncle Beggar!"

"Are you really Knight Commander Ingvar?"

"It's incredible! You are my childhood idol! Can you show me your legendary perfect muscles?"

Ingvar sat up from the ground and ignored the blond boy.

Instead, he looked up and down at Xuanyuan and Xiaopaji, and said with a vigilant face:

"Higginson, today is the harvest day."

"The village is very busy at this time. You brought an outsider to the village at this time. Is there something urgent?"

Higginson opened his mouth.

Hesitant, not quite sure what to say:

"Uh..."

Xuanyuan interrupted Higginson:

"I just want him to take me to see the village chief."

"If possible, please allow me to stay here for three days, and I will leave as soon as the time is up."

Ingvar raised his eyebrows and looked at Higginson:

"Oh? Just like that?"

Higginson nodded quickly:

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it."

Ingvar looked at Xuanyuan with a vigilant face:

"Okay, then I will act with you."

At this point, he warned Xuanyuan seriously:

"Traveler, don't have any bad ideas."

"I will keep an eye on you during these three days."

After that, he stood up and followed Xuanyuan and Higginson, and stopped talking.

Black lines appeared on Xuanyuan's forehead.

What is this?

A powerful NPC joins the team?

It seems to be a rather troublesome guy, which is exactly what Xuanyuan wants.

Xuanyuan signaled Higginson with his eyes to take him to see the village chief.

Along the way, I don't know why.

Every household in this village was busy sorting out things at home, and many villagers were digging holes in the yard to bury packages.

It can be seen that the heights of these villagers are different.

All of them are big and strong, and their muscles are swelling.

However, the cone shape of the head seems to be clamped by something, and it is integrated with the body, and the facial features are almost invisible.

It can be said that it is an enlarged version of Higginson when he has muscles.

Xuanyuan can hardly distinguish between men, women, young and old, and can only barely distinguish them based on the hair color and hairstyle on their heads.

On the contrary, Higginson walked all the way in the village, constantly greeting the villagers along the way, and could easily identify the different villagers of different genders from the same faces.

But everyone was very busy, and just said a simple greeting.

With Higginson leading the way, Xuanyuan came to the smallest thatched house in the village - the village chief's house.

Outside the thatched house.

An old man with a white beard sat outside the house.

His muscles had turned into a bronze color with clear edges and corners, and emitted a metallic reflection under the light.

He was completely different from the other busy villagers in the village.

The old village chief was holding a broken coarse porcelain teacup in his hand, sitting on a broken wooden chair, drinking tea leisurely.

Seeing Higginson leading a stranger over, the old village chief asked curiously:

"Higginson? Where did your muscle essence go?"

"The king's tax collectors are almost coming to our village. You must not fail to pay the taxes!"

Higginson waved his hand nonchalantly and handed the small satchel on his waist to the old village chief:

"Oh! Don't worry about it, village chief."

"Look, I used muscle essence to exchange for so many supplies from others!"

The muscular old man looked at the bag doubtfully.

Then he was shocked:

"Hiss! Did you cut down an entire medium-sized forest?"

"Even if all the woodcutters in our village were added together, they couldn't cut down so much wood in a year."

"Not bad, not bad."

"You naughty boy finally grew up and knew how to supplement the family income. Go back and hide them with your parents."

Higginson nodded: "Okay!"

"Village chief, this person wants to stay in our village for three days."

The village chief nodded to show that he knew.

Higginson left happily.

After Higginson left, the old village chief turned his head to look at Xuanyuan, and then looked at Ingwa who was standing not far behind Xuanyuan.

He took a sip of tea slowly and asked:

"Stranger from afar, what are you doing here?"

Xuanyuan was about to speak when he suddenly heard a loud and chaotic sound of horse hooves from the entrance of the village.

Then, everyone heard a powerful voice, followed by the sound of horses running outside the village, which spread throughout the village:

"The king has ordered!"

"All villages under the castle will begin to impose a new tax today - breathing tax."

"You should pay taxes for every breath you take. According to the tax calculation, your harvest in the next hundred years will not be enough to pay this year's taxes."

"Fortunately, our king has shown extra grace. You only need to pay all your property this year to pay the full tax."

"Therefore, this tax collection will follow the three-light strategy."

"Food light! Property light! Essence light!"

"All villagers will gather at the entrance of the village immediately without any delay."

"Now, I order you to line up and pay taxes immediately. You are not allowed to hide or conceal them!"

"The cavalry under my command will conduct a carpet-style confiscation of this village. If you dare to resist, you will be killed on the spot!"
