Doom Girl Must Die
Chapter 23: new task
Soon, Quint rode a horse and led the guards to the town of White Salt outside the castle.
Sure enough, he saw the ill-fated ghosts of the storm leader who were all dirty and smelly, all holding fish and selling them.
And the people of the Storm Territory who sold whale meat also changed their expressions when they saw his arrival.
This age is only in his early twenties, but his bloated body almost overwhelms the warhorse to Baron Quint, but he is notorious for being acerbic.
"Where did you fish come from, is there such a big fish in the sea!" Quint enjoyed the serfs trembling in fear in front of him, and asked the crowd condescendingly.
"Go back to Master Quint, this is lent to us on credit by our lord!" The serfs naturally did not dare to neglect, and quickly replied respectfully.
"Huh? Then how did your lord get so much fish meat?"
"No... I don't know!" The person Baron Quint asked happened to be Kenby Cow Dung, but although Kenby Cow Dung had a look of fear on his face, he immediately shook his head and lied.
Snapped!
"Hurry up! How can you not know that you have so much fish and meat!" The guard on the side heard the words, regardless of whether it was true or false, and immediately whipped a whip in the air to threaten.
"Master Quint, little... The little man really doesn't know, the lord asked us to get it on credit! When we arrived, the fish was piled on the side of the road." Kenby Cow Dung shrank his neck in fright.
The guard heard the words and was about to swing the whip again, but was stopped by Quint.
"Forget it if you don't know! Then you can sell it! However, the production of white salt has decreased recently, and we can't sell it to you Storm Collar White Salt for the time being!" Quint said casually with his head held high.
"Ah, don't sell us white salt anymore?"
All the serfs such as Kenby Cow Dung looked tense. If they wanted to store dried fish, they needed to use white salt.
Quint didn't care what Kemppi Cow Dung and the others said, and then continued: "In addition, wheat and other foods are in short supply recently. If you buy them in the future, you will have to double the tax." After that, Quint rode Some overwhelmed steeds headed back towards the castle.
Quint's reason for doing this is very simple. Because of the lack of white salt, the serfs had to bring all the fish to him to sell, and then he exploited the serfs in the storm with high taxes.
In this way, even if there is no way to obtain fish meat temporarily, he can still make a lot of money.
The Baron of Quint is the nearest territory of the Storm Territory. If they don't sell it, the meat will only be spoiled in their hands. Quint is not afraid of it.
"Johnny, tell me to go on. In the future, these unfortunate ghosts will come and sell fish. You will accept them. I will make their fish into dried fish and transport them to other parts of the earldom for sale!" On the way back to the castle, Quint lightly instructed. one sentence.
"Yes, my lord!" The captain of the guard named Johnny followed carefully, and then said, "Sir, do you want to send a few people to the storm...!"
He knows so many fish and meat, and his own adults must want to know how to get them. Quent Territory also has a coast, which can represent wealth.
"The things in the buffer zone are the most important right now, so that the lord doesn't pay too much attention to this side! If there are more fish and meat after a while, I will investigate."
"Yes, my lord!" The guard replied, and then surrounded Quint back to the castle.
"Village Chief! What should we do now?" After Quint left, several villagers from Doom Village leaned towards Kenby Cow Dung.
"Sell the fish first and go back with some food!" Kenby Cow Dung looked worried, but he had no choice but to exchange the fish for food now.
Although the tax is twice as high, these fish have already been brought in. If they go back, it will already be dark, and they will definitely spoil if they are exposed to the sun for a day.
…
Time flies and another day passes.
In the study room of Baron Storm Lord's castle, Narant is looking at the census completed by Vivian's painstaking efforts.
This census was carried out strictly according to Narant's instructions, and the population information of Storm Territory was completely recorded on the record.
There are a total of 1,321 people in Stormwind Territory, all of whom are serfs and not a single civilian.
However, what surprised Narant was that there were actually many craftsmen among the serfs.
Among them, there are eight hunters, five carpenters, three masons, one blacksmith, and one cook.
More than a thousand people can produce so many craftsmen, no matter whether they are skilled or not, this is a happy news for Narant, especially if there are cooks among them.
You must know that masons and blacksmiths are very popular professions in this world. Basically, they will not become serfs, and they will not easily go to the land of bad luck.
Of course, Narant also knew that they were all without exception. They were all exiled to the Storm Territory because of the daughter of doom that appeared in the family.
"The chef I've been thinking about has already appeared! I just don't know when the second daughter of doom will appear!"
Putting down the register in his hand, Narant couldn't help thinking of the reward for completing the side quest. Two days have passed now, but there is still no news about the second Daughter of Doom.
"Ding! Although you have given the serfs enough food, they have a big problem with how to preserve the fish without salt."
"System side quest: Help the serfs solve the salt problem!"
"Quest Reward: Dou Qi Secret Technique!"
"Huh? Another mission?" Narant was stunned by the system voice in his head, "Solving the salt problem? Isn't Stormland at the seaside!"
Narant was a little strange. How could there be a shortage of salt at the seaside? Even if there was a shortage of Stormland, you could go to the Baron of Quint to buy it.
"However, the reward of this Dou Qi secret skill is too rich! This task must be completed quickly!" After thinking about it, Narant felt that this task was very worthwhile, because the reward was so exciting.
The Dou Qi Secret Technique, as the name suggests, is the ultimate move exclusively for the title knight.
He can make the title Knight Name use a special way of qi pulse operation to instantly output a move with huge lethality.
However, although this martial arts secret skill is powerful, it is very difficult to obtain. It is the ultimate trick of every title knight.
After all, in the age of cold weapons, it was all about fighting men and women with swords, and a big move represented the dawn of victory.
The Berwick family does not have the secret skills of fighting qi, because his family is a new noble, and it has only been a few decades since he became a baron.
Thinking of this, Narant couldn't sit still, got up and walked towards the door.
After leaving the study, Narant came to the lobby on the first floor, and Thomas quickly ran in from outside the castle!
"My lord! Captain Quick reported that there were several serfs from outside the castle, and they wanted to ask to see you!"
"Well, I know!" Narant was not surprised, this should be about asking for salt.
"I've seen the lord!" He came to the front courtyard and asked the guards to let the serfs in. It was the two village chiefs, Kenby Cow Dung and Pete Leather Boots.
Because there is no civil administrator, Narant explained that they can report directly to the castle if they have something to do.
"Get up! What's the matter with you coming to the castle to find me?" Narant asked while sitting on the chair brought by the servant.
"Lord Lord, please forgive the villain for disturbing you, but we were forced to come to the castle!" Kenby Cow Dung spoke first.
"Say it directly! What's the matter!" Narant waved his hand, not wanting to go around in circles with the two.
"Yes, Lord Lord, Lord Lord, you generously gave us 50 catties of fish on credit, but we don't have enough salt to marinate the fish, so please allow us to go to Heiyan to buy salt!"
Serfs are the private property of the lord and cannot leave the territory without an order.
It's only half a day's journey to the Baron of Quint, and they used to go there to do business like this, so the people of Quint would not treat them like that.
But if they go to another lord's territory they don't know, they will be out of luck if they are bumped into by the guards.
Either drive away, or be arrested and escorted back to Stormland, and then the lord of his own needs to pay some remuneration to the enthusiastic noble neighbors. At that time, their fate can be imagined.
