I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

Chapter 400 A serious caravan never evades taxes
Amidst the riots in the Ghost Land caused by continuous snowfall, an unknown chamber of commerce emerged and used novel creations to assist adventurers in solving the incident before the Dawn Guard.

C Chamber of Commerce, a mysterious traveling merchant with a strange name but extraordinary strength and members, is like a new star in the eyes of local adventurers, drow and others.

With a new warhammer named "Holy Water Shower", a coin-operated holy water maker, and an unlimited supply of holy water, the Chamber of Commerce made a net profit of thousands of gold coins (before tax) in just two days.

Even a group of former star pirates couldn't help but feel moved by it.

Five thousand in two days, hell, why does it feel like doing business is more profitable than robbing!
No wonder there are still countless merchants in the Astral Sea where astral pirates are overflowing!

This morning, Donal summoned the members of Team C.

"The commercial value of the holy water showerhead and coin-operated holy water maker has come to an end and we have been able to license it to the local chamber of commerce."

In the final analysis, it is just a weapon improvement with little technical content and a tool for converting silver coins into silver powder to make holy water. It can be easily copied by experienced craftsmen and rare item makers.

If we don't take action, if they copy it soon, they will no longer have the qualifications of "authentic" and "authorized".

"If it's so easy to imitate, why would others buy our license?" 』

Everyone is obviously satisfied, why is it still a little strange?

Zhuoer seemed to dismiss this statement.

Lily always felt that something was not right, but she couldn't explain why.

There have been countless visitors in the past two days who want to get a piece of the pie or get to know them, but today these two are even more important.

Then he hurriedly rinsed his mouth and brushed his teeth and asked the members of the chamber of commerce to invite someone to come to his door.

Since learning about Equiz Xuan's product rules two days ago, as an excellent mechanical warlock, Mimic has learned the new ability of "updating".

"Hey, didn't I come at the right time?" The sword-carrying boy who looked like a miniature human chuckled, but had no intention of leaving.

"What was supposed to come has indeed come." Donal's heart thumped, and he subconsciously spat out a little acidic spit.

The eyes of the Drow tax collector, whose face and body were like steel plates, seemed to be filled with anger. Even the former star pirates outside the house became much more serious when facing the elite Dawn Guards brought by him.

The tax department's force is often at the top of the list.

The visitors were the drow noble Cavendi Miriam and the Lotus halfling Pickman Lost Wind. The former's family is one of the twelve nobles who rule Rossona, and the latter is from the Gathering Coast. The legendary (self-proclaimed) swashbuckler who stole a priceless treasure from the Carnival pirate leader Gangplank II.

"Humph!"

Donal, who had finished washing up quickly, invited the two of them to the table: "Many products of our Chamber of Commerce are designed for professionals. I have long wanted to cooperate with the Adventurer's Guild and the Dawn Guard."

Lily lay on the treasure chest in confusion, she couldn't figure it out.

"..."

The drow tax officer of the Dawn Guard Tax Department and the "hard-working" vice president of the Adventurer's Guild accidentally visited at the same time.

As two guests, one large and one small, arrived at the hotel, a sense of solemnity suddenly emitted from the room.

"No, you came just in time."

Just as she was trying to analyze with astonishing wisdom, the caravan members brought unexpected news.

"Because we also have a complete upgrade and improvement process, as well as supporting after-sales services."

Wouldn't it be nice to let customers pay a little extra to upgrade and renew, which not only makes up for design flaws, but also gains brand reputation, and ties customers to you?

Immediately everyone took their seats, and Lily, who was lying on the treasure chest, vaguely felt something was wrong in the atmosphere and smelled of gunpowder.

"Chen, if we fight with the Dawn Guards, who should we help?" 』

Chen Zhou, who was familiar with his abilities in Shangbi, remained silent.

Help whom?

It's best to come and help him. The high elf teaching method is going to come to him tonight!

Being touched once or twice is not a big deal, but high-level mages are all old silver coins. What if the other party has malicious intentions towards him?

It's not difficult to kill the legendary monk for the first time, either by calculation or not, but by passing the method... this has exceeded the upper limit of his ability!
"It's okay, Stella doesn't look like a bad elf. 』

Ignoring someone's thoughts, Lily returned her attention to the room.

During this period, the frosty Drow tax officer had already stated her purpose: "I received a report that you evaded taxes, and I have obtained your entry cargo list from the city guard. The extra materials and holy water are what happened?"

Tax evasion?

Penalty!
Must be punished severely!

"Misunderstanding, this is definitely a misunderstanding!"

When Donal heard this, he immediately took action: "Our Equiz Xuan C caravan definitely did not evade taxes. The extra things after entering the city are just..."

Tax officer Cavendi didn't even bother to listen, and waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't care what excuse you make, either let us inspect all the goods and make up for the tax, collect fines, or confiscate all property and crime tools and banish them to the wasteland! "

Are you kidding me, the tax department will listen to your excuses?

But the paladin of the God of Wealth is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Seeing that Zhuoer came with obvious malice, Donal directly spread his hands.

"That makes no sense. You can check it as you like. Our C caravan has never missed a single copper coin in taxes. If you can take a penny from me, I will change my surname to Miriam today. At worst, we will go to the East to do it. Business goes.”

The east he spoke of was the Dundarion Empire, the enemy of the Kling Dynasty.

"No, what blind god of wealth would accept you as a paladin?"

Even the Mimics felt that Donal was a bit too frontal.

Is Equiz Xuan such a serious method?

And if it hadn't personally experienced their smuggling, it might not really believe the other party's statement that there was no "tax evasion"!
Wait a moment……

Smuggling is smuggling, tax evasion is tax evasion?
Mimic mused.

The crime of tax evasion is managed by the taxation department, while the crime of smuggling seems to be managed by the foreign trade department such as customs?

Theoretically, as long as Donal pays taxes normally, the tax department has no right to interfere with them regarding smuggling.

It sounds illogical.

But there are twelve ruling families in Rosona City, each with different rights and jurisdictions.

If it remembers correctly, the family in charge of customs seems to be... the Sieyes family!

That is, the family of the drow merchant who went with them all the way!

"I see, then no wonder, Donal seemed to have secretly stuffed a lot of good things into that drow on the road."

There are a total of 12 drow nobles in Rosona. As long as the person they offend is not the Kling family, it doesn't matter. Moreover, even if the Samirfa family's token loses its effect, it does not mean that they will not take sides.

"伱! Okay, okay, you are openly provoking Rossona's tax bureau, Dawn Guard and Miriam family!"

Seeing that Zhuoer did not take action directly, Donal shook his head: "Businessmen naturally keep their peace and make money in peace, but unfortunately the conditions do not allow it. And I am not provoking others, I am just...telling the truth."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly tense.

Feeling that he was being ignored, the halfling stood up decisively.
