Successors of all mankind

The interrupted tax closing ceremony was taken aback:

"Terra? My lord, I'm sorry, I've never heard of such a place. However, I do know that beyond the Alps there is a forging city called Rattai."

"What's wrong, sir? Is there a problem?"

Never heard of it? That's great! Never heard of it? That's great!

I thought it was just a case of the weasel pulling out a strongman!

Fun and relaxation path:

"It's nothing. I just happened to hear the name of this place, but I've never been able to find it, so I was just curious."

"You continue, Mr. Barkley."

After answering the other party's questions, Yu Le continued to digest the astonishing content brought about by Barkley's words.

This means that those with purer bloodlines, or higher genetic purity, are more favored by the so-called divine beings and are more likely to possess spiritual energy.

Then, the way to determine the purity of genes is by how human-like they are?

Is this some kind of world where people compete to see who is more human?

And me, Yu Le, a purebred naked ape from the 2K era? ??

Doesn't that mean I won outright?

Suddenly realizing the truth, Yule couldn't help but smile.

But it was immediately forced down again.

Because there are still many questions he doesn't know, he absolutely cannot open the champagne ahead of time!

Furthermore, what if this transmigrator and the purebloods they define are not actually the same thing?

For example, Yuleji believes that humans and chimpanzees are the closest, with a difference of only a few percent, but in reality, anyone who sees them would think they are completely different species.

It would be funny if I were in the same situation as the purebloods here, or even more different.

You absolutely cannot think there's nothing wrong with yourself before you've fully attained enlightenment and verified it!

Yu Le kept in mind his previous assumptions about the 'so-called aristocracy'.

However, at least in this way, their noble status should have a preliminary guarantee.

After all, this means that the machine's detection was not due to an accident, but rather that it guaranteed at least 30% purity within their system.

As long as this is not a problem, your situation will be much easier!

The small confirmation made Yu Le's brows relax more and more.

As long as the underlying logic is correct.

It is very difficult to expose one's 'aristocratic' status.

Wait... something still doesn't seem right.

First, Yu Le still doesn't understand what this suddenly appearing psionic energy is.

The second one is that Yu Le suddenly recalled the words of the leader of that group of black market merchants when he incited his underlings to fight to the death.

The flesh and blood of nobles seem to be very valuable in themselves?

Just then, the tax collector smiled and said:

"Your Excellency, I have no other opinion; this is my entire understanding of your family. I wonder how your esteemed father responded to this?"

Yu Le chuckled and said:

"These are all old sayings that I heard too many times when I was a kid, so I won't repeat them. However, there's something I've always been curious about."

Ask more questions, say less, and even if you do, you won't give any specific answers.

"What's the problem, sir?"

"Yesterday, I got separated from the guards and fell into the hands of a bunch of despicable bastards. After they discovered my identity, they yelled that they would dismember me and sell me!"

Each character is ordinary, but when combined, they create a whole new world.

But it almost made the tax collection season explode!

What the hell? A nobleman was almost dismembered by a bunch of bastards on my turf?!

Although he was a tax collector, he was neither a protector of the people nor an inspector.

But once this happens and it gets out, that's all that matters.

He definitely can't escape.

The tax collector, who had just realized he had inexplicably brushed with death, stood up abruptly, both shocked and furious, and exclaimed:

"My lord, who is it? Who dares to be so audacious? Tell me, please tell me! I will make them know the consequences of their actions in the cruelest and most terrifying way possible!"

"It will only take an hour at most, no, half an hour, for me to capture them all and make them regret ever being born!"

The tax collector, growing increasingly enraged, paced back and forth in front of Yu Le, gritting his teeth:

"I'm going to make chamber pots out of their skulls and make them drink their own blood!"

Chapter 29 Am I Tang Sanzang? ? ?

Watching the incredibly exciting tax collection conclude, Yu Le, still somewhat unsure of his current 'weight', paused for a moment, then smiled and pointed to the gate, saying:

“No need for that, Mr. Barkley, the gatekeepers saved me.”

Upon hearing this, the nobleman looked at the two third-class people directly for the first time.

Although I still think they are two lowly bastards.

But he was surprised to find that they had indirectly saved his life.

After the tax season ended, I felt they were much more pleasing to the eye.

He then wrote a poem about pleasure and entertainment:

"Is that so, Your Excellency? To show my respect, I can exempt them from taxes for the next year! What do you think?"

The annual tax is only a small amount; it's just that he deliberately left room for Yule to increase its profits as a result.

Because Yule can exempt this settlement from all future taxes with just one sentence!

It's just taxes from a bunch of lowly people. Whether there's any, how much, or how little, it doesn't matter!

At least for the elites of this level, that is the case.

In his mind, Yule would deny his words and then directly exempt the settlement from all taxes.

In this way, he both expressed his gratitude and did others a favor!

Being a dog, clinging to others, is not an easy job.

Not only do you have to be shameless, you also have to be smart enough!

Another benefit is that this can help him to get a preliminary understanding of just how valuable this important person is.

After all, he was a nobleman from out of town, not one of their slaves, Nor.

Although it's just a tax levied on a group of lowly people, outsiders need to have some power to get involved!

"Hmm, that's good, let's leave it at that!"

Huh? That's it? A year is enough?

The tax collector was stunned.

Completely unable to understand the humor in his story, she was naturally happy to accept his offer of help.

The two people at the back gate were also overjoyed.

Great! It looks like good days have really arrived!

Imagine how much they can accumulate in a year with a tax-free period!

This simple anecdote brought the conversation back to the original question:

"It was after this incident that I became very curious. Although I knew my blood was valuable, I never knew exactly how valuable it was. So, Mr. Barkley, do you know? Do you know how much a drop of my blood is worth?"

Yu Le wanted to use this opportunity to confirm whether the flesh and blood of a great nobleman was indeed very valuable.

Especially for someone like himself, a "parachuted aristocrat" with "no foundation" and "purity" as his only asset.

If so, then it means you're still dancing on a tightrope.

Barkley, on the other hand, thought of many things in an instant.

What does this mean? Is this person giving me a warning? Or is it just simple curiosity?

Normally, the nobility should be the ones who understand this issue best.

Because noble blood is hard currency, literally speaking.

Even many nobles who were unruly or made mistakes were subject to a blood tax levied by the royal family.

However, there are always exceptions. Although the powerful and influential people at the top know about these things, they are not really aware of these 'lower-level matters'.

Or those offspring from collateral branches who are not particularly cared for or favored are indeed deliberately raised to be ignorant, uneducated, and dissolute.

To prevent them from wanting to be 'ambitious'.

In any case, compared to the losses caused by their sudden whimsical plans to "make progress," the amount they wasted as playthings was absolutely negligible.

Not to mention that in the end, they were even able to be "married down" or "married into" lower classes, in exchange for massive tributes and loyalty from lower-ranking nobles.

The core logic of the nobility and purity of bloodlines is to enhance the purity and nobility of bloodlines!

In this case, a noble bloodline is naturally extremely valuable!

After glancing at Yu Le's face, which was theoretically definitely not of noble birth, Barkley, who thought it was very likely the latter, silently put away his doubts.

Then, following up on the question of entertainment, he answered:

"Sir, could a single drop of your blood possibly buy my car?"

As a marginalized aristocrat who interacted with the lower classes, Barkley actually had a pretty good grasp of market trends.

The problem is, he doesn't know what level of nobility Yule is.

We can only judge from the perspective of 30% to 35%.

"Oh, is that thing expensive?"

Yule still doesn't know exactly how valuable this is.

This statement dealt another blow to the tax collection process.

Yes, is that thing expensive? Is my favorite car really worthless in the eyes of such a wealthy person?

With his shoulders slumped, the tax collector said listlessly:

“Sir, that car could probably be exchanged for nearly a hundred settlements of number 386.”

The metaphor of tax collection made Yu Le and Da Men both widen their eyes.

Is my blood really that valuable?

If those heartless bastards find out the truth...

Am I not much different from Tang Sanzang?

"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

Yu Le wanted to try to salvage the situation, though he didn't know what the point would be.

Upon hearing this, the tax collector, after a brief moment of thought, spoke with a rather serious tone:

"My lord, I may have seriously underestimated you."

After all, he had never seen Shenji so 'excited' before!

He began to suspect that Yu Le was a highly prestigious family lineage, specifically used to... cough cough, to arrange marriages with influential people!

Nobles value alliances between powerful families, and marrying someone of lower social standing is considered extremely shameful, as it significantly lowers their social standing and severely impacts their interests.

But if we send this important person, it might save face a lot.

After all, this face is simply unworthy of such noble lineage...
