My chosen ones are all the fourth disaster

"Maybe one day we can build a town called Stop Slope, and then I, Prison Blade, can become the mayor, haha!"

Then, Prison Blade continued to count the sweet fruits naturally.

Edgar frowned slightly.

This wasteland is called Stop Slope by the refugees, and it is the nearest human activity site to the Giant Oak Forest.

The meaning is also very clear, that is, you must stop and turn around here.

If you go further in, you will really be in the company of monsters.

Generally, refugees who have nowhere to go and can't even afford to rent the cheapest peripheral land in Nari Town.

They will choose to come to the wasteland that has not been included in the territory of Nari Town to open up the wasteland.

And they are excluded by the refugees in the wasteland, so they will drift all the way to the most dangerous place in this wasteland.

The land of Stop Slope has no tax and no protection.

Although the militia in the town is lazy and rarely patrols.

But having and not having are two completely different concepts!

Here.

The refugees can only rely on fate and past experience to avoid the monsters that occasionally get lost and walk out of the dense forest.

They also need to find opportunities to reclaim wasteland and grow food.

Life is hard and frightening.

Generally, even if there are people who drift here, there should not be more than twenty people.

So many people gathered together, it is simply a food box that attracts monsters to leave the jungle!

Thinking of Ye Zhi's instructions before leaving, try to pay attention to major events outside the forest.

Edgar wanted to stop talking about this, but brought it up again.

"Why are the refugees increasing?"

Although he thought it would take a long time for them to build Tianshui Town and explore outside.

Maybe by then, this matter and the consequences it caused will have ended long ago.

But he is only responsible for doing things.

After all, it is a matter of convenience, and there is no harm.

A gleam of light flashed quickly in Prisoner's eyes, and then disappeared.

He counted the sweet fruits with a chuckle, and his tone was a bit self-deprecating and helpless.

"Why else? The number of refugees is not decided by me, nor by the refugees themselves. It depends on what the mayor does!"

"Who would want to come to the wilderness to gamble their lives if they can live in the city?"

Then he talked to himself, telling jokes about Nari Town recently.

First, the pet dog of the mayor's youngest daughter died.

The mayor had a sudden realization.

In order to make the townspeople realize the importance of the low-IQ animals around them, so as not to regret after losing them.

Announce that all livestock in the town will be subject to additional taxes!

Euphemistically called:

Money cannot replace feelings, but it can make people more aware of the importance of each other.

God have mercy on you!

How can the townspeople afford to keep pets?

The animals in their hands are all cattle, horses, sheep...such livestock that can be used as means of transportation and can participate in labor!

Farmers open their eyes and close their eyes all year round, relying on them to produce milk, pull mills, give birth...to spend the winter well.

They are the lifeblood of the family!

Who would not value them? Who dares not to take it seriously?

The mayor had already collected a livestock tax when buying and selling, and now he has to temporarily add a maintenance tax!

Plus the usual livestock feed money.

It's completely pushing people to a dead end!

Then.

The mayor suddenly wanted to celebrate his 52-and-a-half-year-old birthday, and he must let all the townspeople come to participate and share his joy.

This is not sharing joy, it's clearly a birthday gift!

After the birthday, the townspeople who have no money or whose birthday gifts are not "careful" enough have their residential taxes increased because of "disloyalty".

Those who can't afford it have been driven out of Nari Town after emptying their money.

These are just the two most common things the mayor has done recently.

With all kinds of taxes emerging one after another, how can there not be many refugees?

"Recently, all farmers have been ordered to make full use of the abandoned land they have contracted."

"Plough as soon as possible and try to grow another crop of food before winter comes!"

Prisoner's smile was ironic, and his tone was mixed with a bit of sarcasm and sadness.

"Hehe! He must have forgotten that the origin of those wastelands was that the farmers had just used them as magic fields to plant precious magic herbs in order to please him."

"The land that is not in the magic node has been tossed around like this for a year, but the results are not much, and all the nutrients in the soil have been absorbed!"

"If you don't cultivate it, how can you grow anything!"

"As a result, he not only pretended not to know, but also asked these wastelands, like other normal lands, to accept his newly increased 60% tax!"

Prisoner's tone became colder and colder.

Edgar listened to all this quietly.

After Prisoner Blade finished speaking, he nodded slightly, with a sigh in his tone:

"I wish you can get through this difficult time soon."

"Since the sweet fruit has been counted correctly and the transaction is completed, I will leave first."

He turned around and prepared to leave.

Prisoner Blade's expression froze.

Seeing that Edgar really had no other thoughts,The method, the movement of leaving was clean and neat.

He finally got anxious!

Prisoner Dao quickly dropped the backpack in his hand, jumped up, and blocked Edgar's way.

"Wait! Aren't you curious why?"

There was a little more urgency and expectation in his voice.

Edgar stopped in response, his eyes calm without a trace of emotion.

It seemed that the reluctance in the voice just now was just an illusion heard by Prisoner Dao.

"In the early spring of this year, a forest area inside the Giant Oak Forest collapsed, and many monster corpses flowed along the Warlinde River, dyeing the river water black."

"It is a sign of the death of high-level monsters and the outbreak of the demon tide. If nothing unexpected happens, this year will be a difficult winter."

"Everything that happened in Nari Town is preparing for the demon tide, right?"

There is a strong class relationship between monsters.

A high-level monster often rules an area of ​​the Giant Oak Forest.

Now that a high-level monster dies, there will be no chaos at first.

When food is scarce in winter, these leaderless monsters will run out of the forest.

Edgar crossed his arms and told the current situation of Nari Town like telling a story.

"As the town of the Kingdom of Yoan closest to the Giant Oak Forest, it is only a matter of time before Nari Town is swallowed up by the Giant Oak Forest."

"It has long been in an abandoned semi-autonomous state."

"But, Abel, the mayor of Nari Town, is a mediocre person who only knows how to enjoy himself!"

"He can only rely on the adventurers who come and go in the Giant Oak Forest to barely maintain his wealthy life."

"He doesn't care about management and militia training at all. The strength of Nari Town is not enough to resist the magic tide!"

"Every time the magic tide comes, we can only rely on the assistance sent by the royal city to barely survive, right?"

Edgar has just arrived in the Kingdom of Yoan.

I know this thanks to Ye Zhi's constant nagging.

It is said that the corrupt Nari Town and the small demon tide caused by the fighting between monsters are the most suitable for players to practice.

Prisoner Dao smiled bitterly, feeling heavy as if a stone was falling on him.

"Yes, this year the mayor also asked for help from the Royal City as in previous years, and the Royal City sent two monks from the Blazing Church as expected."

"But not long ago, they had an accident on the way... Anyway, the bodies are on the way back to the Royal City."

The Kingdom of Yoan will not give up a piece of territory casually.

Therefore, Abel wanted to pry the relationship behind him and ask for help from the Royal City, and he succeeded easily.

But at the same time, the Kingdom of Yoan will not pay much attention to such a small town that will perish sooner or later.

If the support is gone, there will be no new ones...
