Chapter 201 Feralas' Journey (End)(1/2)
Goblin tax officer Benny walked to Phelas with the ogre, and his sunken eyes looked at the young man in front of him, showing a look of scrutiny.
Unlike the caravan guys, mercenaries and other old fried dough sticks I saw before, when facing myself and the ogre, the young man in front of him was shocked and interested. It was the first time he had come to the Triangle Plain. And from the material of his leather armor, it can be seen that this person is not simple.
"Tax Officer Benny, this is Mr. Ferras, a passenger who follows our caravan. He admires the style of the Triangle Plain very much and comes from the south," the caravan manager helped explain.
"Well," said Benny's tax officer nodded and said in a unique and sharp voice of the goblin: "Young man, show your identity."
Upon hearing this, Phelas reached out to take the adventurer certificate from his arms, stood up and handed it to the Goblin.
The TEDA Noel Continent has a strong sense of territory and regional consciousness, and slow population circulation. On the one hand, it is because of the dangers everywhere in the wilderness. On the other hand, entering the territory of other forces, the qualification to pass is also a problem.
In order to prevent the infiltration of robbers, spies, evil gods and other forces, any force will strictly control the inflow of people. If the person who comes is unknown, he will be turned away by the city guards. Some areas who are vigilant will even arrest those who are unknown and question.
In this regard, the Chamber of Commerce, which undertakes the function of material circulation, has natural advantages. Almost all lords welcome merchants who contribute taxes and apply for business qualification certificates for the Chamber of Commerce. Business qualification certificates can be passed by the Chamber of Commerce collectively.
It is not so convenient for individuals to show qualification certificates one by one. Generally speaking, qualification certificates include: Kingdom Citizen Certificate, Adventurer Certificate, Noble Certificate, etc.
The applicability of qualification certificates is also different in different regions. For example, the citizenship certificate of the Kingdom of Dana and the noble certificate can be passed through the cities of the Kingdom and the cities of friendly forces, but if you get the hostile Odyssey Kingdom, you may be beaten to death on the spot.
Relatively speaking, the applicability of adventurers' proof is much wider, because most lords will not reject adventurers who can solve all kinds of troubles.
The Goblin tax officer took over the adventurer's certificate from Phelas, first confirming the authenticity of the magic mark on it, then opened the certificate to check whether there were any bad records inside. Seeing the full task records and high-scoring evaluations on it, he couldn't help but take a look at Phelas more.
Phylas also kept observing the Goblin. He found that the Goblin's eyes were shining with a light of wisdom, which was really able to distinguish the authenticity of the magic mark, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
You should know that distinguishing the authenticity of magic marks requires rich knowledge and magic knowledge. In the human kingdom, the role of tax officials is generally performed by mage apprentices, and in some bustling cities or even early-level mages.
He could not associate the Goblin, who was the lowest wild monster, with the knowledgeable caster.
After confirming that the adventurer proves that there is no problem, the Goblin returns the adventurer prover to its original owner.
"Young man, don't cause trouble in the Kingdom of Fessel."
"As long as you don't mess with me."
The Goblin tax officer nodded and checked the next carriage.
The inspection process lasted for more than ten minutes, and the caravan was finally allowed to pass and drove the carriage toward Shichu Town.
As soon as he left the checkpoint, Phelas couldn't help but look at the Goblin on the ogre's shoulder.
He whispered to the bearded mercenary riding a horse, "Uncle Merck, do you know what's going on with this goblin?"
Merck also lowered his voice and responded: "Feras, in the Triangle Plain, you have to abandon all the common sense of monsters before. The monsters in this place are completely different from other places. Have you ever seen orcs who take a bath once a day, have you ever seen ogre chefs with superb cooking skills, have you ever seen polite wild boars? There is nothing strange about having a knowledgeable goblin."
"Haha," the caravan manager not far away chuckled and took over the conversation: "Brother Phelas, if you ask about this, I know some news."
"Oh, please tell me, sir," Fellas took a scrubbing posture.
The caravan manager looked around and lowered his voice: "The tax officer Benny claimed to have graduated from a force affiliated with the real dragon. He seemed to be called... "What is the name [Burning Wings], but I know he is bragging because he didn't graduate at all."
"Last time, he was drunk in a tavern and cried, crying bitterly, and failed to pass a certain assessment of [Burning Wings] and was eliminated. He could only become a tax officer. He also said a lot of things that he couldn't understand, such as great explosions, spiral ascension to heaven..."
Gradually, everyone entered the interior of Shichu Town, and there were more pedestrians around them.
"There is such a place in the world where so many ethnic groups live together."
Phelas looked at the orcs, wild boars, taurens, wereggars, goblins, kowtowers, humans, barbarians, and a small number of centaurs and ogres walking on the street. He was dazzled and felt that the trip was worth it.
After entering the city, the passenger - Phelas and the caravan were completed, but he did not leave the team because he promised the bearded mercenary to have fun together for a day.
The caravans want to sell the goods brought by them, and there is no need for mercenaries to protect them within the city, so the mercenaries are free.
Merck received his salary from the leader, ran towards Phelas with a smile, and hugged his back: "Let's go! I'll take you for fun!"
A moment later, in the largest tavern in Shimao Town, [Wild Boar and Whistle], Phellas drank and party with the bearded mercenaries.
In this spacious tavern hall, all kinds of races gathered together, holding oak wine glasses in their hands, laughing and cheering, playing with the boxing, and the atmosphere was warm.
In the center of the tavern, there is also a square platform, where the minstrel performs a show.
However, the minstrel is not available at any time, and the stage is empty at this time.
After drinking seven or eight cups of flavorful spirits made by the wild boar man, Phelas's face turned red and felt a little drunk. At the same time, he was very excited. He pushed away the wine glass handed by the bearded mercenary who was also somewhat drunk.
"Uncle Merck, please... let me perform a song from your hometown."
"You...you can do it? I see you are drunk."
"I...I'm not drunk."
Getting rid of the hand grabbed by his fellow villager, he staggered towards the stage, and with the skills of a high-level ranger, he stepped onto the stage with his feet.
"Everyone! Everyone! Quiet! Quiet!"
In the tavern, the people who were drinking and having fun heard this, turned their eyes to the center of the tavern hall and saw the young ranger on the stage.
"I am Phelas from the province of Jodh in the Kingdom of Vini, the Southern Kingdom. I am very happy to come to the Triangle Plain today. I will show you a song "The Forest of Jodh" to you."
When everyone heard someone performing a show, everyone was excited and cheered and whistled.
Phelas was not nervous, and picked up the instrument that was placed beside the stage and started singing.
"Ah~."
Hearing the endless "ah" sound at the beginning, the bearded mercenary - Merck, was shocked and couldn't help but shivered, with a bad premonition.
“…”
His premonition was correct. Although Phelas was strong, he was not fully tuned. As soon as he opened his mouth, the drinkers in the tavern wanted to scold people.
"This is the worst song I've ever heard!"
"My ears! Why do you hurt my ears!"
"My orc god! Stop singing!"
“…”
Phelas was unmoved, and the audience was excited, and the wine glasses were smashed towards the stage one by one.
But Phelas is worthy of being a high-level ranger. Even in drunkenness, it is still more than enough to avoid the wine glasses thrown by ordinary people. He turned his back and twisted his waist to avoid everyone's attacks, while singing constantly in his mouth.
The magic sound filled the ears, and the drinkers became more and more angry. The scene suddenly lost control, and the wine glasses and benches flew together.
The wild boar owner's face turned as dark as the bottom of the pot, and he hurriedly greeted everyone, but everyone was drunk and would obey the greetings there, and the tavern was in chaos.
That night, a legend of the Death Musician spread throughout Shichai Town along with the return of the drinkers.
The next day, Phellas sat up from the bed in the [Wild Boar and Whistle] tavern, woke up and remembered the ridiculous things that happened last night, and suddenly felt that he was in a bad mood.
He held his head with both hands and his hair was messy.
"Oh my God! What did I do?! My lifetime of heroic reputation!"
………………………………
Modo Pedicle Forest.
At the top of Oka City, in the palace named [Red Fort], stone pillars are arranged at the end of the Throne Hall on both sides.
Jose was in a comfortable position, lying on the throne, listening to the progress report of the kowtowed relatives below.
"Master, the first thing is that most of the road to Zhaolin Town in Oka City has been completed. According to this progress, it only takes one week to connect the two places, and it will never delay the opening of the Modo Peak Forest."
"Well, I'll be relieved when you do things," Jose nodded casually.
Half a month ago, he released the news that the Modo Peak Forest is about to open, and it cannot allow visitors to run around in the forest.
To this end, he decided to build a road in the Modo Forest to connect the capital, Oka and the Triangle Plain. On the other side of the road is the previous Modo Forest Border Patrol Camp, which has now been renamed Zhaolin Town.
"I'm not worried about the road. What I care most about at the moment is the allocation ratio of Oka City real estate purchase qualifications. Do you have any good solutions for this?"
"With an initial plan, we decided to allocate according to the population ratio, and the residents of the Triangle Plain and the Modo Peak Forest are each the same. At the same time, we have to reserve some shops in prime locations and sell them to major chambers of commerce as appropriate. The business environment of the capital cannot be lagging behind..."
"Are the candidates sent by major races ready for the founding ceremony?"
"Return to the master, the candidates have been determined. They are still in training, rehearsal, and the founding ceremony are still more than two months away, and there is still plenty of time."
“…”
After reporting the preparations for the founding of the country in detail, Ergou continued to speak: "There is one last thing. Master, a bad news came from the Triangle Plain. Hulk received information from spies and external forces tried to undermine the founding ceremony, but the news has not been confirmed yet."
"A group of clowns jumping, I can't make any waves," Jose's casual posture still did not change, but his eyes were condensed, filled with murderous intent.
He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down and do what you are responsible for."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Ergou retreated.
In the long corridor-shaped throne hall lined with stone pillars, Jose lies alone on the throne at the end of the hall, falling into thought.
Some people tried to destroy the founding ceremony of the Forsy Kingdom, which did not surprise him, because many people hated him, [Dana Kingdom], [North Witch Council], especially the four legendary strong men killed in the battle a few months ago and four legendary strong men who escaped seriously injured.
The revenge of the relatives of the Legend of Death, the revenge of the Legend of Death, or other forces that do not want to see a powerful force appear in the middle of the prairie, they all have the motivation to destroy.
However, as he said, the destructors are just a group of clowns, and he is not worried about how much damage these clowns can cause.
At present, the construction of the upside-down magic tower has been completed, and the radius of hundreds of miles around Oka City is his home court.
This home court covers the entire Modo Peak Forest and part of the triangular plain. Within this range, unless the demigod takes action, the Red Dragon has absolute confidence and strength to control the overall situation.
The person behind the Joker also understood this and would never send a strong man to die, so he could only make a small fuss.
Although small fights do not hurt people, they are disgusting.
