Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

Chapter 53: Noah's People, Tithe and Tax

"Praise Noah!"

Pompeii, who had just gained freedom and got rid of his slave status, kowtowed to the holy mountain in his heart with great piety. There were also a few echoes from the crowd on the roadside, but most people just stared at it because it was already commonplace. Only businessmen from outside would cast curious glances.

After conscientiously completing the ceremony of worshiping the Holy Dragon, Pompeii, who had become a free citizen and stood up again, couldn't help but look a little confused in his eyes.

As a slave, he only needed to do three things every day, eat, sleep, and farm. But as a free man, he had no land, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Pompeii actually knew that there were many jobs in Elihim City, which were specially provided for free people like him who were homeless and unemployed.

However, he did not want to apply for a job for the time being. He wanted to adapt to it for a few days and breathe the free air. However, while aimlessly, Pompeii unknowingly returned to the place where he worked as a slave.

It was a field of undulating wheat fields, and there were many people like him who worked here as slaves, but they were no different from the farmers who were free people not far away.

It must be said that this is a strange sight that you will never see in other cities, and it is completely different from the miserable life that Pompeii imagined before he was transported here as a slave.

In addition to the legendary kingdoms of gods where there is no need to worry about illness, hunger, or being disturbed by wind and rain, Pompeii could not imagine any other place that would be more beautiful than this place, where even slaves would be treated as human beings.

"Pompeii, didn't you go to cancel the slave deed? Why did you come back?"

An acquaintance of the slaves saw Pompeii in a state of confusion and shouted to him.

"I have been released from my deed and am now a free man."

Pompey couldn't help but use all his strength to shout loudly.

"Well done, Pompey, for being the first of us to be freed from slavery."

"I really envy you, but I will be like you soon."

Pompeii's voice attracted a lot of looks, some of them were envious, some praised, some applauded loudly, and some just rolled up their sleeves and continued to fuck without saying a word. They were greatly encouraged, after all. The living example is right before our eyes.

"Then are you looking for a job?"

"Not yet. I want to find a job in a few days."

Pompeii replied subconsciously.

But to be honest, he would rather be a happy farmer like he was before he got rid of his slave status, because he is cultivating the land owned by the Holy Dragon.

Although no one has seen it, everyone said so. The wise lord listened to the opinions raised by the Holy Dragon and divided two hundred hectares of land and gave it to the Holy Dragon as a reward.

"Are you going to the city to find a job? But besides farming, what else will you do?"

"I……"

Pompeii immediately stopped and asked. He really didn’t know what else he could do if he left the land.

"I don't know. If I had acres of land, I would probably continue farming. Unfortunately, I don't."

"If you don't mind, you can continue to farm the land for me."

At this time, Pompeii heard a slightly childish voice coming from behind him. The changes in the expressions of the slaves who were still working around him clearly revealed to him that there must be a noble person behind him at this moment. existence.

Pompeii turned around quickly and then froze. As he had guessed, a very noble man indeed appeared behind him.

It was a tall young man who was so gorgeously dressed that he didn't know how to praise him. His figure was as tall as a hill. Even if he was still some distance away, he was extremely oppressive.

The thick black hair that shines in the sun shows that this young man has the most noble surname in this land.

But for such a noble young man, there is a cat whose fur shines golden in the sun on top of his head?

Such strange and weird shapes and combinations made Pompeii, who had little experience, be stunned for a while, and then he knelt down on the ground in a hurry, his head lowered deeply, and he did not dare to say a word.

Because his behavior just now was considered offensive to the nobles. According to his knowledge, some nobles would whip and kill civilians because they did not kneel in time.

"Get up and talk."

When his body began to tremble unconsciously due to fear, Pompeii saw a pair of boots suddenly appear in front of his eyes, and then heard a steady and powerful voice.

Why are there two different voices?

A doubt naturally emerged in Pompeii's heart, but when he stood up with anxiety, he saw the golden cat squatting on the top of the young man's head spoke,

"You haven't answered me yet? Will you continue to work the land for me? As a free man, you will receive part of the harvest of the land as payment."

"Yes, I do!"

Indescribable ecstasy emerged from Pompeii's heart, and his brain did not need to think at all. Under the overly strong emotional stimulation, the answer had already blurted out.

"If you don't ask, how much harvest can you get from your work?"

Noah, who was squatting on top of Tedder's head, looked at the skinny young man in front of him, with a strange light emerging in his eyes.

Not long ago, he successfully mastered a transformation form, and it happened that Teddle came to find him, so Knight Noah went down the mountain and went to inspect his land as the first stop.

The land and slaves allocated to him by the Augustus family were originally used for experimental purposes, but the land allocated to him would naturally not be taken back.

"I..."

Pompeii had already vaguely guessed the identity of the golden cat, but he didn't dare to believe it, because the legend really appeared in front of him, and spoke to him and made promises to him, which made his brain almost crash.

"According to the tithe, you need to pay me one-tenth of the output of the land as rent for the land, and the rest of the grain belongs to you."

Seeing the skinny young man who seemed to have guessed his identity and didn't know what to say, Noah just felt interesting and said the reasonable division after his careful consideration.

In an instant, there was silence between the fields, Pompeii's body trembled violently, his lips trembled, the corners of his eyes gradually became wet, and then tears flowed down.

An indescribable strong emotion erupted in his heart, piercing through all his mind and emotions.

At this moment, Pompey could only express his emotions in the way he thought was most appropriate. He crawled on the ground, using all his strength to lower his head until his forehead touched the ground.

"Holy Dragon Noah, I am willing to dedicate my whole life to you!"
