"Thank you."
The tax collector climbed onto the carriage and inspected the cargo under the gaze of several people.
Food, water, tent, camping equipment.
Soon, the tax collector jumped off the cart and said, "These are definitely not trade goods."
"But," he changed the subject, "every horse and carriage that enters the city must pay a carriage tax."
Kai frowned, thought about it, and nodded: "That makes sense."
The tax collectors took more time to count Isdis's goods.
Even if he had just come out of the city, went out for a walk but did nothing, and even lost some goods, the tax collector still insisted on collecting the business tax.
The argument escalated, almost to the point of a quarrel, and the others could no longer bear to watch.
It was not until Kai stood up for him and the tax collector, who did not want to offend a nobleman's son, gave up.
Kai paid the reasonable tax to the tax collector on behalf of Isidish.
After going through this process, it took another hour to wait at the city gate to enter the city.
When you enter the city, the first thing that strikes your senses is the bustling crowd.
Cities are naturally more lively than villages. Here, more people rely on industry and commerce rather than agriculture and animal husbandry for their survival. Therefore, during the day, the prosperity of the city is far greater than that of the village where most people work in the fields.
There are shops on both sides of the street, including small stalls with sheds and spacious stores. Wood carvings, bread and food, and even blacksmith shops or jewelry stores specializing in weapons and armor can all be found in the city.
Of course, there are more residential houses.
Densely packed buildings, spider-web-like narrow streets on both sides of the mainland, and voices coming from all directions.
Everyone except Mia looked surprised.
"What do you think of this place?" Mia asked Melina, who was standing next to her.
"It's very lively." Melina nodded, her golden eyes scanning the people and things around her.
There are countless magnificent castles and splendid cities at the border.
For architectural wonders, there is no place in Britain that can match it.
But there is one thing missing at the border.
people.
It is a great country, but it has no normal citizens, and its countless wonders are nothing more than a legacy of the past.
If the current border area is compared to a masterpiece framed in the hall, then Britain is a comic work that is simple in content but easy to understand and is still being updated.
Except for one main road in the city which is paved with stone slabs, the rest of the roads are dirt roads that are no different from those in the wild.
Similarly, most of the houses are made of earth and wood, except for the inner city where the lord lives.
Isdis, who was very familiar with the city, led everyone to a good hotel in the city.
千:!寻?.小"'说;,中?转,'裙:2';5:'!,5;5?;!'9!':5:?!3!..0!0首先要解决的就是住宿问题。
For Isdis, this trip was a mess. He met the wrong person at the wrong time and the wrong place, and wasted the travel expenses and the money for hiring bodyguards.
If Mia and the others hadn't appeared in time, Isdis would have been dead by now.
Therefore, he sincerely thanked these benefactors.
Isidis was originally an islander, and most of the islanders chose to sell their goods to middlemen in the city, who would then take the goods to other cities to sell.
But Isdis did not want to let those annoying middlemen make the difference, so he bought a carriage, hired three people, and headed south from Bangor.
Everyone knows what happened next.
The goods that Isdis brought back were basically intact, so he had no trouble selling them in the city. Compared to his purchase price, he could also make a small profit by selling them to middlemen.
But he had made up his mind and had made a plan in his mind. After selling his goods to other merchants, he would keep only 40% of the money including principal and interest for himself and give the rest to his benefactor.
"Mr. Eastis, please wait a moment!"
"Yeah." Isdis pulled the horse and the vehicle stopped next to the stone square in the center of the city.
Altria turned over and jumped off the truck from the side, running towards the signboard standing in the corner of the square.
Next to the sign stood a man in a brightly colored uniform, holding a parchment in his hand and preaching something to the citizens.
However, citizens simply walked past the signboard and few stopped to look.
It seems that what that guy preached has already been known to everyone.
When Kai saw Altria running over, he got out of the car and followed her on foot.
'oh? ’
On the other side, noticing what Altria did, Mia also stood up from the truck.
Appeared!
Accepting commissions from notice boards is a traditional activity in the fantasy world!
Just like opening a new map in the game, Mia jumped out of the car excitedly.
Kai walked over to Altria, put his hands on his hips, and sighed, "There's a notice board here too. I haven't seen one in a while."
The two villages we passed along the way did not have such facilities, or they had them but without authorization.
The village where the two used to live did have such equipment, and people would occasionally post notices on it.
Before Mia got too close, she heard the man next to the notice board shouting.
"Letter to the Citizens on the Sentence of the Red Ghost Niervis to Hang: Citizens of Bangor! On behalf of our King Guidolin, I would like to announce an exciting piece of good news..."
After reading a paragraph, the man paused and then started reading another paragraph.
"Rogitte of the apple orchard asks to borrow a plow! This is what he says: Hello, everyone, can anyone lend me a plow? I'm in a terrible state. I hit a stone in the field and the plow is half-turned..."
Mia moved closer to Altria and looked over Altria's shoulder at the notice on the sign: "What's on it?"
"Hmm...hmm..." Altria pinched her chin and read carefully.
Mia also looked at it carefully.
"By the way, how many people can understand what's written there?" Mia asked.
"Hey," Kai curled his lips in the direction of the preacher, "What do you think that guy's job is?"
The preacher finished reading one notice, took a sip of water, and began to read the next one: "People of the West, listen carefully! If you still yearn for freedom, then be ready to take up arms at any time! We are becoming stronger and stronger, and the counterattack is just around the corner! Let us swear by our sacrificed fathers that we would rather die for our country than become slaves of foreign countries!"
"Um..."
It seems like a very exhausting job.
The notices on the notice board were not written on parchment and then hung up, but were based on a thin wooden board with ink written on it.
Parchment is a very precious thing.
The Three Pigs Tavern Opening Announcement
"Those with a special poverty certificate issued by the state can go to the relief office near the inner city gate to receive food rations."
"For the construction of the monastery, we are purchasing high-quality stone materials on a long-term basis. Those who are interested in consulting please go to the City Hall."
"Shameless! The Catholic Church secretly cut down sacred forests to build monasteries!"
"Rumors debunked! Bishop Denior has always advocated harmonious coexistence between Catholics and pagans in the region, developing Catholicism with British characteristics, and respecting British folk customs."
It seems that there is no commission worth taking on.
"But this is also a good thing!" Altria said optimistically: "If there are no commissions, doesn't it mean that the people in this place have no worries?"
"But, the opportunities for training have also become fewer."
"No, Brother Kai." Artoria shook her head: "I don't think that experience must rely on fighting. Even if you just live in the city, experience the lives of the people in the city, and understand the rules of the city, it is also necessary to become a king. "
"Oh," Kai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and scratched the back of his head.
"Altria has grown up too."
And not long ago, as Kai's servant, Altria acted almost entirely according to the instructions of others, accepted the teachings of others, and had almost no ideas of her own.
The girl who said this now has really grown a lot.
"Yeah,... yeah." Being praised, Altria felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, let's go find a place to stay."
Kai laughed and rubbed Altria's head to suppress the proud ahoge.
"Kai... Brother Kai!" Artoria forcefully pushed Kai's hand away: "Didn't we agree that we won't be like this after we turn twelve..."
"I forgot. Sorry." Kai apologized without any sincerity and withdrew his hand.
Since they didn't find anything on the bulletin board, they started to go back towards the carriage.
At this moment, someone suddenly called out to them.
"That young man!"
What hit me was the fishy smell of the fisherman.
The three of them looked over there at the same time. The one who called out was a fat man wearing a flowery short jacket.
"Calling me?" Kai pointed at himself.
"Yeah," the pot-bellied fishmonger ran over, took two breaths, and nodded vigorously.
"Brother, are you looking for a job?"
the fishmonger asked.
The young man in front of me.
He has dazzling blond hair, a handsome profile and impeccable facial features, long limbs, a strong body, and a slim waist.
At this moment, Kai was not wearing armor, but was holding a sword, looking dignified and handsome.
Plus the pair of girls following him...
At least, the fishmonger, who was also a man, felt from the bottom of his heart that Kai was extraordinary.
"Ah," Kai paused.
"Actually, she is looking for a commission..." Kai honestly pushed Altria forward.
"Oh," the fishmonger looked at Altria and asked, "May I ask what your relationship is?"
"Me? Well, her brother."
Kai nodded in response.
The fishmonger breathed a sigh of relief.
In that case, then the person who should do the work should be the reliable adult man in front of you, right?
"Excuse me, is there anything troubling you?" Altria asked enthusiastically.
The fishmonger said: "I just happened to have a job here..."
