Cthulhu Gonfalon

"I really can't think of it. Some people can be so unconscioned. It's just a devastating thing!" The Void Masked Church in Dal City, Kabara, screamed at the table in angrily, and the anger in his eyes was about to burn the cup of herbal tea in front of him. "These poor people have only lived a few days in a personal life. He actually sent a tax official immediately... When the natural disaster requires relief, why can't he see him move so fast!"

"Look at the camp's aura of light, you know, how can the evil camp guys do disaster relief?" The older priest said with a smile, "The camp is not very reliable, but most of the time it is not." It’s wrong to be outrageous, so we shouldn’t have any hope for him.”

"But I didn't think about it. If he didn't help, he would forget it. Actually, he still has to mess up!"

“A lot of lords are like this,” said a young samurai. “So my Majesty taught us to use our own hands to advance the world.”

Kabbalah’s main meditation has been meditation for a long time, and he nodded. “You are right. It’s just like this place that we need us especially. Look at the poor people. If we don’t come to help them, what should they do? ”

"But the question now is, how do you get rid of those tax officials?" another pastor asked. "I don't think they will use the taxation documents in the past." We can't find an excuse. It is."

Kabala smiled coldly and his eyes were stunned: "What is the use of the taxation documents of the past? They must first prove that the poor people lived in the city at the time and did not pay taxes." ”

“Hey?” the pastor sighed and asked, “Did they not always live in the city? And... they have no money to pay taxes.”

"My buddy! This kind of thing is not worth mentioning, there must be evidence!" Kabala laughed. "Without evidence, who knows whether it is true or not!"

“Is there a ‘detecting lies?’” asked a samurai.

"Teachers, you know that you are not a gold coin of the federal origin!" Waiting for Kabala to answer, another samurai has already laughed. "We don't believe in the gold coin federal, 'detecting lies.' A famous rule - as long as there is no evidence, it does not happen."

"There is no way, which businessman does not do something to steal the dog and touch the dog? There are several businessmen in the world who are doing business seriously? It is the common sense of the businessman to swindle the abduction. As long as people don't grasp the evidence," the samurai said, " This is of course not good, but we can now take advantage of this tradition."

"One of the art of struggle is to keep abreast of the situation and use all the conditions that can be used to make the disadvantages an advantage." The older pastor said.

Said, everyone laughed.

"All in all, as long as the lord can't get the evidence that these poor people lived here and didn't pay taxes, then they didn't owe taxes." After Kabala finished laughing, he said sarcastically, "In fact, in this case, Tax collection is illegal. The reason why tax officials dare to bully the poor is to have a lord behind them. The lord is nothing but force, but I have to see if they have the courage to use force with us!"

The Baron Dahl really did not dare to use force.

Although the group of the Void Mask Church is actually not particularly strong, the most powerful is nothing more than a middle priest, but the Baron Dahl is also not very powerful.

He currently has three knights and two quasi-knights, one of whom is in the middle class and the other five are still only the first level. In addition, he has raised two effective cadres, all of whom have been promoted from the adventurers, and all of them are at the intermediate level.

From the books, he seems to have a big advantage. But as we all know, the Void Mask Church is not the only one in the district. There is a huge church behind it, and there are many legendary powerhouses.

Want to use force? Even if he can win the ten people, what is the use?

Moreover, even if he only faces the ten priests, he does not have an absolute chance of winning.

His men are crowded, but why should people desperately fight for him? And those priests are different. For the gods they believe in, in order to maintain the doctrine, they absolutely do not care about death.

The Dal family has an important family training, that is, "Don't trust others, let alone pin your hopes on others." The Dal Baron will not do the stupid things that count on others to fight for themselves, and the lords who make the mistakes will be finished.

So after listening to the tax official's report, he did not attack, but he was only gloomy. He asked the tax officials to look up the information of previous years to see if they could find favorable evidence.

But he knows that most of them are not found.

Nobles generally do not keep things like tax records, because they may become evidence against them at some point. The savvy person of the Dal Baron certainly does not make such a mistake.

Moreover, even if you have found the tax collection records of previous years, what is the use?

Kabbalah, these priests can think of the tricks, the Dal Baron, this old-fashioned giant, how could not think of it?

"Oh! I didn't expect the group of priests to use this method. It's a bit of a mistake!" He sighed deeply, shook his head, and endured the depression in his heart, but pretended to be a cloud. Light look.

He must pretend to be like this, otherwise some of the people in the castle will pass the message out and pass it to the ears of other lords nearby, leading to something else.

Although uncertain about what might happen, the Dal Baron’s request is not to let anything unnecessary happen.

For this reason, even a small loss of some taxes is acceptable.

But this does not mean that he gave up on this!

A few days later, a new order was issued.

The Lord Lord is preparing to take advantage of this winter, when the beasts and monsters lack food, they will sweep the mountains and other places outside the city. All adults in the city who do not have a proper career are called to participate in the sweeping army.

Of course, this recruitment is impossible to pay, but during the expedition, you can pack a meal every day.

As for those who refuse to accept the call, they must either pay a "collection fee" or they must leave Dar City - they can take away only for personal belongings.

This order is not unexpected, and sweeping monsters and beasts in winter is a very common thing.

Unexpectedly, the city defense officer came to the slum with a few soldiers and read the order aloud.

After reading the order, he looked at the poor people coldly, smiled a few times in a haze, and went straight.

There is no doubt that these poor people are all "without a proper career."
