Overgod Ascension

Wu Ming still remembers Baron Terry's return.

Because I heard that the Baroness paid a large ransom to Viscount Garcia.

And every cent of this ransom was transferred to the people of Baron Terry.

Even William was extorted by the tax collector and took away two silver thalers.

"So... the Fengying Plain has finally calmed down again?"

Wu Ming asked softly.

"As an outsider, Viscount Garcia was finally accepted by the blue-blood nobles, but how can I put it... As long as people continue to exist, the struggle will never end!"

After drinking, Rorian was obviously very relaxed.

‘Outsiders? ’

Wu Ming is very sensitive to this.

After these months of exploration, he also understood some things about Fengying Plain.

Most of the nobles here can date back to the era of Conqueror Taller, and have more or less his blood in them. They call themselves 'blue-blooded nobles'.

Their leader is the Earl of Blue Mountain.

As a foreign noble, Viscount Garcia, although he also has noble blood from the highlands, is obviously not accepted by the stubborn and exclusive blue bloods.

However, through this war, those blue-blood nobles will surely begin to recognize the energy of this viscount again.

'After the war, Viscount Garcia married a daughter of the Earl of Blue Mountain, which was the beginning of his acceptance... And among all the nobles who participated in the war, not even a lord was sacrificed, and the only ones who died were a few knights... ...This is the rule of the aristocratic game in this world...'

Wu Ming thought silently and became more decisive about his future.

You must become a noble and join the rules of the game in this world!

Recognize the rules, use the rules, break the rules, and then establish the rules!

This is an inevitable path as one's strength increases, and now Wu Ming is on such a path.

Luo Lian was even more surprised to see Wu Ming showing no obvious disappointment.

For such a talented, scheming, and patient young man, the gods will give him a chance.

Therefore, he said slowly in a deep voice: "William, you know, after this war, many of the Baron's men died, and more people were captured and sold into slavery..."

If the family can still afford the ransom, there may be a glimmer of hope for this kind of slave to be redeemed. Unfortunately, the residents of Niah Town are generally not very wealthy, and the generous Baron is even more stingy in this matter. Every copper.

"The problem of insufficient manpower has already appeared during this autumn harvest... Therefore, the Baron is planning to take advantage of this free time to launch an expedition!"

"Expedition? Against whom?"

Wu Ming raised his eyebrows.

"Of course it's not other noble lords, but those rats in the wilderness! Wild people in the mountains!"

Rorian smiled.

There are many kinds of savages in the wilderness. Pure cannibals are naturally unable to talk to each other and will kill anyone they encounter. However, there are also mountain people who hide collectively in the mountains or wilderness purely to avoid taxes. Most of them have some If the craftsman is caught, he will become a superior serf!

William was regarded as a tenant who rented the baron's land, but the serfs did not even have their own rights. They were the property of the lord, or in other words, they were no longer within the class.

"I see!"

Wu Ming combined with William's memory and immediately understood that this was the other-world version of the slave-catching team.

"The leader of the team this time is Lord Thakur, a real knight. The Baron agreed to allocate thirty people to him, but as you know, this number is far from enough. Therefore, I recommended you to him!"

Rorian said: "Lord Thakur is willing to pay you a daily salary of ten coppers, and also has the right to distribute loot. He requires you to bring your own weapons and pass his inspection! What do you think?"

"No problem, thank you, instructor!"

Wu Ming agreed without thinking.

This temporary soldier's task was naturally not something he valued. What really made Rorian recommend it was this opportunity to get close to the knight.

Likewise, Wu Ming also needs this.

Only by getting close to the upper echelons of this world and coming into contact with the rules of power can you better improve yourself, whether it's status or strength.

"Very well, take your sword and let's go meet Lord Thakur!"

Luo Lian got up and took Wu Ming to the barracks in the town.

"grown ups!"

Seeing him coming, the two soldiers on guard immediately raised their heads and saluted.

"Where is Thakur Lord?"

Written by Rorian Si Consultant.

"He's at the training ground! You'll see him as soon as you get there!"

The training ground in the barracks was very large, and it was empty at this time. Only a strong man like a black bear was dancing a pure black horn hammer. The terrifying wind roared, so that the soldiers around him did not dare to step forward.

Tall and strong!

This was Wu Ming's first impression of this knight.

William himself is already very tall, but this Thakur knight is actually two heads taller than him, not to mention that the opponent's arms are thicker than his thighs!

"This power..."

After seeing this person's figure, Wu Ming was extremely surprised. When the other person dropped the hammer and made a small hole on the ground, his pupils shrank slightly: "It's definitely beyond the limits of ordinary people!"

Ordinary people have their own limits in various numerical values. After so many months of training, Wu Ming is certain that he has reached the pinnacle of ordinary people.

What it represents is the most perfect limit.

But the knight in front of him has broken through the ordinary ranks and the limits of mortals!

"Sure enough... extraordinary power still exists!"

Wu Ming watched Thakur take long strides, walking a little bloated, and felt relieved again: "Of course, this extraordinary seems to have flaws. It only increases strength and gives up speed?"

Wu Ming could tell a lot just from the way the other person walked.

If he goes all out, with his dexterity, swordsmanship, and a good sword, he might have a chance to decapitate this knight with one blow!

Of course, this is based on huge danger. If you are accidentally hit by his attack first, you will really become a meat pie.

"Haha! Rorian, is this the William you mentioned before? Not bad!"

Thakur patted Wu Ming's shoulder vigorously, deliberately using some strength. Although Wu Ming could resist, he still deliberately turned pale and swayed.

"Yeah, very strong!"

Even with this performance, Thakur was very satisfied after seeing it: "You will be a qualified soldier! Boy... In this hunting, you may be able to snatch a woman from the wild people!"

Obviously, in his mind, this level of military action can only be regarded as robbery.

"Okay, let me see your swordsmanship again!"

Thakur laughed loudly and shook his head again when he saw the long sword Wu Ming pulled out: "You need a new long sword. Believe me, although the stone axes and wooden spears of the wild people and cannibals are blunt, they can still cut It still takes a lot of strength and a good sword to drive them!”

After watching a few of Wu Ming's swordsmanship moves, he already regarded Wu Ming as his own soldier.

"We will set off in three days when the sun just rises. Of course, you can also come to the barracks in advance!"

Taller is obviously very optimistic about this little guy named William.

"I see!"

Wu Ming saluted deeply, but his keen sense was always sizing up the Taller knight in front of him.

"Amazingly strong, I don't know if it is obtained through exercise or other means..."

The requirements for becoming a knight in this world are quite demanding. Even if a lord wants to be promoted, it will cost a lot and it is said that a series of rituals must be performed.

For example, go to Howling Castle, pray in the church for seven days and seven nights, and apply some kind of holy oil. For this, the knight himself also needs to donate a large amount of money to the church.

If possible, Wu Ming would of course want to get a study on holy oil, but unfortunately with his current status, it is simply a dream.

He also wants to study the mystery of blue blood. He can't just bleed Baron Terry's family, right?

Some things, once done, will become the public enemy of the whole world and will be greatly detrimental to one's own plans.

After leaving the barracks, Wu Ming walked towards his kennel and began to make secret calculations.

He also has some interest in researching the savages and cannibals in the wilderness and mountains.

Especially those real wild people, it is said that they have their own unique beliefs, customs and culture. Although they seem vulgar and barbaric to the residents of the small town, there is still some truth hidden in them.

"Woooo..."

Just when he passed Aunt Roya's hotel, he found that a group of people had gathered here. Sophia's crying could be heard faintly, which made him stop and squeeze in.

"Mrs. Roya, according to the latest decree issued by the lord, you already owe the wine tax for these months! The leather tax! And the daily cleaning tax!"

Among the crowd, the fat tax officer Feide, with a shiny face, waved a tax bill and said proudly: "Including the interest accumulated before, the total is five gold delongs, plus seven silver thalers!"

"O Gods!"

Someone nearby exclaimed: "More greedy than a vampire!"

"You all shut up!"

Feide glanced around: "Are you planning to pay off this poor lady's debt? I personally have no objections!"

Upon hearing this, everyone shrank their necks.

The lord was captured, and the ransom was distributed to the people. Coupled with the increase of the greedy tax official, the already heavy burden became almost unsustainable.

Seeing that he had convinced everyone, Feide turned around triumphantly: "Mrs. Roya, if you can't pay off the tax today, I regret to inform you that your home and hotel will be repossessed. As debt payment, you and your daughter will also be sold into slavery!"

Having said this, his eyes immediately stared at the crying Sophia, with a lustful and evil light flashing through her.

"No!"

Aunt Roja exclaimed: "For the sake of the gods, you can't do this!"
