Dungeons & Dragons: I was kicked out of the team by Brave

"More than ten years ago, Nunalia seemed to have just sent Clintina to the capital Delran, and then..." Richard thought silently in his mind, and then he was shocked. He gritted his teeth and said, "Nunnally This woman, Ya, didn’t hand over the taxing power of Binglin Valley to the cultists in order to control the Baal Cult, right?”

Feite was almost frightened to tears by Richard's offensive words: "Hey, Mr. Richard, please don't say these words in front of me. I want to live longer."

"In other words, the initiator of those air taxes, happy taxes, and dawn taxes is actually Nunalia?" Richard thought about it carefully, but he felt that it was acceptable.

Ten years ago, Nunalia was still very young and had just entered the political arena of Midden Territory. This might be the best way she could think of.

No wonder that at the banquet held by the An family, the deceased previous Marquis of Cha was a Baal believer. In order to share a piece of free tax cake, the nobles of Binglin Valley may have been deeply bound to the Baal believers.

In other words, those so-called conservative nobles are actually the spokespersons of the Baal Order. They are not resisting Nanalia, but are maintaining their increasingly greedy and insatiable appetite.

If Nunalia still chooses to believe in Baal, these conservative nobles may not be the first to applaud.

Richard wondered: "But what does this have to do with Nehcha? He is also a conservative noble."

"No, he actually has a very bad relationship with those conservatives, and is even incompatible with each other."

Feit said the unexpected situation:

"The relationship between Nehcha and the previous Marquis Cha was also very bad. After he became the Lord of Binglin Valley, he has been committed to reducing taxes and gained a lot of support, including some lower-level consuls and a small number of nobles who really pursue the spirit of chivalry. "

Richard scratched his head and said with a headache: "So why does he have the tendency to rebel? Nunalia's current bill should be more relaxed. She even exempted the surrounding areas of Winter City from taxes for three years."

"Because..." Feite paused, then twisted his face, and said a few words through his teeth, "Those exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are still being collected, and they have become worse. You... understand."

Richard's hands trembled slightly, and the thing that worried him the most finally came to him.

Nunalia's repeated warnings before leaving, as well as the way she hesitated to speak, showed that things in Binglin Valley were not simple at all.

But Richard didn't expect that the current situation would be so troublesome.

Emotions have been busy for most of the day, and it turns out that they have always appeared as a villain!

So Nehecha was the brave man who tried to defeat the evil dragon, and his group was really just the terrifying minions of the tyrant.

Thinking of this, Richard's heart became heavier and heavier.

Sure enough, the final problem still lies with Nunalia.

So Nunalia repeatedly emphasizes that her hands and feet should be clean. What does she mean?

she,

Lady Nunalia,

Who do you want to kill?

Are they the nobles who were corrupted by the Baal cultists, or the Nehcha who resolutely chose to fight?

Richard felt a little headache. As expected, Nunalia still gave him a very troublesome task.

Chapter 3: Whenever something incomprehensible happens, it must be Nunalia’s conspiracy.

Tax rates are still going up, which is unusual.

Logically speaking, the Baal Order has been completely abandoned by Nunalia, and they should no longer have the ability to influence the tax rate in Ice Lin Valley.

Richard continued to ask: "I can't feel the Baal believers in Binglin Valley. How do they control the tax rate?"

Feite gritted his teeth, and then said bravely: "Let me tell you the truth, the entire Binglin Valley has been firmly controlled by the nobles in every corner of the city."

"Although they are not Baal believers, they are actually agents of a certain Baal sect, except for the Cha family headed by Nehecha."

"Just a week ago, the tax rate increased again. The gold coins that Binglin Valley needs to pay to the Duke's Palace this year are almost over 800 million gold coins. To be honest, Binglin Valley is almost on the verge of collapse."

"The nobles also know this situation. Although they are dissatisfied with Lady Nunalia's weakening of the power of the nobles, they still carry out the execution silently, just like the past ten years..."

"This doesn't seem to be a very sensitive topic..." Richard frowned, and then suddenly said: "Are you trying to say that Nunalia is still controlling the Baal Order in Ice Lin Valley, and the increase in tax rates is also caused by her? decision?"

"Wait a minute, Mr. Richard, can we not be so direct!" Feite said with a broken face, "I still have my wife and children in Winter City. Please don't embarrass me. I will tell you everything I know."

Richard understood Fite's panic. After all, Nunalia's image in the Midden Territory had always been that of a dictator who eats people without spitting out their bones.

And he also made such a guess that was not “correct” enough.

"Okay, let's put aside the matter of that woman named Nunalia. What's going on with Nehecha? You told me before that he was indeed colluding with the Baal Order."

"So what I said was "a certain branch."" Feit breathed a sigh of relief and added, "You don't have to think too highly of Nehcha. He doesn't have any heroic character, but his appetite is bigger than imagined. That’s all, that’s why it’s all disguised.”

"According to the investigation conducted by Dekli during his lifetime, we found that the Baal cult in the Binglin Valley has been divided into two groups. One is Nanalia... I mean the conservative nobles are relying on them, and the one behind Nehcha is Seems to be another strange branch of the Baal Order.”

Another branch?

Richard immediately thought of Linda.

That's right. The information I had before was that Nehecha might be colluding with Linda and the Baal cult behind her.

Everything is back under control.

Feite continued: "The Cha family has been operating in Binglin Valley for many years, and the remaining local nobles combined may not be as powerful as their family."

"So Nehecha probably wants to annex these conservative nobles through the Baal Order behind both parties, so as to achieve the goal of fighting against Lady Nunalia."

Richard nodded, feeling everything gradually became clearer.

Binglin Valley is nothing more than composed of conservative nobles and Nehecha, and both sides have their own Baal cults behind them.

Judging from Clindina's experience with those old nobles today, although these old nobles are extremely greedy, they still have expectations and sufficient loyalty to the An family, and will only choose to completely collapse at the most forced moment. Check with Nehe.

"I probably understand." Richard nodded, "Fite, from now on, all tax rates will be terminated, and Binglin Valley will be exempt from any tax for three years."

"But, these taxes are... determined by Madam Nunnalia." Fite hesitated, "Now the nobles, at least generally speaking, obey Madam Nunnalia. Before solving Nehcha, , maybe there’s no need to force them to rebel.”

"Fit, have you ever thought that these rising taxes may not be Nunalia's decision?" Richard's thinking gradually became clear, and everyone fell into a misunderstanding, that is, Nunalia would not be willing to take it easy. Give up the Order of Baal, including the Pope.

The image of Nunalia full of conspiracy has been deeply engraved in the hearts of the Midden people, so that once any unusual and unexplainable things happen, they will be classified as Nunalia's conspiracy.

Even if a farmer fails to give birth to a son or the crops are not harvested well, they will be told that this must be "Nanalia's conspiracy."

But in fact, before Richard left, Nunalia whispered in his ear more than once, "Cleaner methods", "Don't worry about casualties", "You are solely responsible" and the like.

To put it bluntly, Nunalia hoped that Richard could get rid of all these nobles without leaving any one behind.

The nobles and Baal cultists in Ice Rin Valley are already a bunch of dead people in Nunalia's eyes, so she won't waste any more time on the issue of tax rates.

Fite realized: "So the proposal to increase the tax rate is actually just a self-directed act by the nobles, using the name of Lady Nunalia to allow us consuls to achieve a tacit effect. Damn it, I was deceived!"

"Tomorrow I will go to the city hall with you to announce the tax exemption proposal in the name of Nunalia, and be prepared." Richard said, "As you can imagine, their expressions will be wonderful."

Feite reminded: "This will directly push the nobles to Nehecha, and the consequences will be very serious. The nobles in Binglin Valley have a considerable number of personal guards, plus the Baal cult behind them, if they unite, they will very dangerous."

Richard was not worried and said easily: "No need to worry about it, it's the end of a strong crossbow."

Chapter 3: Going to jail for meetings, and even going to jail for reading the leader’s speech non-stop!

The next morning, Richard took Clintina and Veroca dressed as Linda to the city hall.

Fit followed weakly, obviously having not slept all night.

Richard asked: "Feite, you look very lethargic?"

"I stayed up all night because I was writing a proposal." Fite handed a piece of parchment to Clindina, "Miss Clintina, you can just read it accordingly."

Clintina complained, "It's so long, but thank you."

Richard hit Clintina on the head: "I didn't even ask you to write it yourself, why are you complaining?"

"Obviously." Clintina stuck out her tongue, and then was hit on the head by Richard.

Feite looked at the interaction between the two and felt that he, a middle-aged man, was a little redundant.

At the same time, he looked curiously at Veroca, who was slightly nervous at the side, and felt a little familiar.

Um...who is it?

Oh my God!

Lathander, isn't this Princess Linda?

As the Grand Consul of Midden, Fit needed to know in advance the appearance of noble people within the empire, so he accurately recognized them.

For a moment, Feite was almost jumping up and down in fright.

You can't blame him for not being calm enough, it's just that Princess Linda's appearance in Binglin Valley is too frightening.

Veroca asked with as straight a face as possible: "Look what I do."

"It's nothing, Princess, you... are welcome." Feit looked at Richard, hoping he could give an explanation.

Aren’t our Midden leaders at odds with the imperial royal family? Why are you still hooking up with the princess?

Although they are old lovers, this is a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy!

"Feite, it's better not to know what you shouldn't know." Richard said meaningfully, "Of course you really want to know, and I won't hide it from you..."

Fit sighed and said very politely: "No, I don't want to know. I didn't see anything. This must be Madam Nunnalia's conspiracy... I mean consideration. Everyone, we are at the city hall. Gram Miss Lindina, please be prepared, the voice of resistance will be very strong."

"Miss Clintina, Mr. Richard, and this..." An elderly man in similar clothing to Fit had been waiting at the door. After he saw Veroca, he also stood frozen in place, "woc , Princess Linda.”

"Uncle Enoch, don't make a fuss. You are almost seventy, so be careful of your bones falling apart." Feit immediately stopped the great consul named Enoch from speaking harshly.

"You fart, I'm very healthy. Do you know that when I was young, I could beat ten girls in one night in the Winter Holy Land!" The old man with white hair and beard blew his beard and glared, "Old man, even if I die, Corpses will also be coveted by necromancers, and as long as they are lifted up by necromancy magic, they will be at least as good as Doomsday Knights!"

"It's a pity that there is no Necromancer in the Midden Territory, so your hopes are in vain." Fite said perfunctorily, "You know our proposal today, right?"

"Of course, old man, I don't know how many years I have been looking forward to finally liquidating these aristocratic scum!" Enoch's voice was hoarse and he seemed a little excited. "It's a pity that Dekley can't see it anymore. He died too early. Damn it." Assassins of Baal, sooner or later I will break their bones.”

"Are all the nobles from Viscount and above here?" Richard asked.

Enoch said respectfully: "Mr. Richard, a total of forty inherited nobles have arrived. After Lady Nunalia's great reforms, they are almost the only old nobles left."

Richard nodded: "Mr. Enoch, it seems that there are people other than nobles who have arrived."

"They are related personnel of various factions in the Winter Holy Land. They are responsible for protecting the safety of all the adults, and they have the qualification to observe the town hall meeting." Enoch looked at the group of strong men with angry eyes and said disdainfully, "It's just that There seem to be a lot of people here today, and they are very concerned about this meeting.”

Richard glanced over and saw several figures wrapped in black robes. They were assassins from the Sauron School.

Sure enough, they came too.

The Sauron assassin noticed Richard's gaze and leaned slightly to show respect.

Clintina walked into the city hall filled with dignitaries without any stage fright, slightly raised her chin, showing a noble posture.

Consuls at all levels, conservative nobles, the Cha family, strong men from the Winter Holy Land, and a considerable number of wealthy businessmen were among them.

Several adventure group leaders who were registered in the Adventurer's Guild and reached S level were also invited to sit down.

It can be said that most of the important people in Binglin Valley are here.
