Starry Sky of the Magic Tower

After a pause, Lin touched his beardless chin and said, “As for the tax part. Let me talk about the abilities of you guys first?”

Lin Zai has lived in a maze for more than ten years, knowing that the thing that should be taken is to take, not taking it will make people panic. For this group of pioneers, paying taxes to the lord is more like a protection fee than an obligation. It’s like’I gave you a sum of money, if a demonic beast or Barbarian comes to harass me, you have a responsibility to protect us. ‘Like the argument.

As for whether they can not give it? Of course, but Lin has no obligation to protect them.

Similarly, if Lin said generously that living here is tax-free. On the contrary, it makes them worry that when a danger occurs, the magician lord does not intend to take the responsibility of protecting the people; even the lord himself has unruly intentions. This is definitely not that these people think too much, but that this kind of thing is too common.

Living in such a remote place, living within the reach of the military force of the magic tower, it is only natural to get what you need from each other. What ordinary people want is safety; the magician as a lord does not necessarily need food that grows from the ground, but may also be other services.

Whether the request made is accepted or not is a question of another level. If you want to use military force to unilaterally make people yield, these people living at the bottom are most likely to have the ability to commit rape, outward devotion but inner opposition. at worst, they fight one more and go away.

So the old man was not surprised by the question from the magician lord. He said honestly: “My lord, among our people, there are tailors, blacksmiths, carpenters, carpenters, and bread masters. There are also those who are good at farming and raising livestock. Women also have the strength to do any heavy tasks. ”

It sounds like almost all adults have some ability. In fact, Lin also understands that it is not such a group of people, who really dare not bring their family with them to seek a living in a new place.

From Lin’s point of view, it takes time for this group of people to rearrange the wasteland, and the food they grow may not be enough for this group of people to eat, so why bother to grab that little land from them? thing. The grain supplies purchased from Chamber of Commerce are all top-quality grains of good grades. I’m still worrying that I don’t have a place to spend my money, and it makes people jealous to carry too many Gold Coins, so don’t think about saving this little money.

When Lin heard that someone was good at raising livestock, he immediately became interested. Although many supplies can be solved with money, dairy products are still quite lacking. The main reason is that animal husbandry in southwestern China is not popular. Generally, people raise cattle and horses for other purposes, or produce a small amount of dairy products for their own use, and rarely commercialize them.

There was also a rise before, is it right to raise one or two cows? But that is too troublesome. The two dogs have used the way of stocking, even more how to serve two cows, then after the whole day, do other things have to be done. Since there is a professional, he certainly wants to ask: “Can you invite someone who is good at raising livestock in, I have something to ask him.”

“Of course, my lord.” said After that, the old man turned his head and said, “Boy, go and invite Mr. Holstein in.”

“Yes, father.”

After a while, the person who had left brought in. The name Kuiwu robust man. Walking into the tower, Chaolin gave a salute and said: “My lord, you want to see me.”

“Yes, I heard that you are good at raising animals. Do you know how to take care of cattle or sheep?”

“My father used to help the lord manage the ranch. I have been helping in the ranch since I was a child. So I am good at large and small animals.”

“Then you Can you make cheese?”

“Cheese? Although it is a little troublesome to make, it takes time to mature. But yes, I also make cheese.”

Lin Overjoyed, Patted said: “Very good. From now on, you only need to send a bucket of fresh milk every day, two cheeses per month. These are the taxes for your settlement here. You just know how to do it. The person who has only had your words.” Floating his eyes to the old man who took the lead.

That one is also a shrewd person, and he immediately came over and said: “My lord, please rest assured. We will help him share the tasks of the Holstein family. If we just want to raise cattle, we have to go to the city. To buy cows, you have to build fences and barns to prevent wild beasts. These tasks will not be completed so quickly.”

“It’s okay, wait until you are all ready, and then start providing them. New arrivals. , There must be a lot of things to do. At this time, you can find a way to settle down first. As for the problem of wild beast, ──” Lin turned his head and ordered the girl, “──Hallumi, you let Gray Hoof and Bai Nose recognize Once you recognize these people, don’t harm them.”

Looking towards some unknown old men, Lin smiled and said: “We have two guard dogs. Don’t be too scared to recognize the two dogs. There is no wild beast in this forest that is more fierce than them, so you can rest assured. So be it.”

“Okay, thank you, sir His magnanimity.” After the old man led the crowd to give a salute, he left with Hallumi. And Lin’s figure faded and disappeared.

The girl who came outside the tower gave a long whistle. The crowd gathered under the greeting of the old man, who thought they would see two big dogs of the size of shepherd dogs, barking and running wildly at the same time. But the imaginary picture did not appear, but a commotion in the woods attracted their attention.

The branches and leaves are swaying, and the birds are startled. Although there is no roar, there is a flustered atmosphere in the forest. This made several robust men who got off the carriage feel the crisis, and some even drew a big axe for logging from the carriage. The most sensitive children grabbed their mother’s dress in fear, shaking slightly.

Suddenly the woods opened, and two figures that were bigger than a bull rushed out, swift like lightning and moving like meteors.

This is…demonic beast!

Several robust man not even think immediately formed a wall of people. Some took an axe, and some picked up a stick or cane, trying to protect the wives and children behind them.

They didn’t show the real guy in the bag because they knew it was too late. Almost in a blink of an eye, the two demonic beasts rushed to the front, one end leaped, but the other end flexibly went to the side. At the moment they were wrong, they seemed to be able to see the calm sight of the demonic beast. There is no roar, and no teeth and mouth, as confident as an experienced hunter.

Either lean back with the demonic beast that jumps over the head, or lean sideways with the demonic beast that detours. The sudden change shocked everyone, and at the same time they lost their balance and fell to the ground one after another. Just thinking that a foul wind and bloody rain is bound to rise behind, I saw two demonic beasts squatting obediently in front of the tower master’s apprentice.

Really two dogs!

“Good, good.” Hallumi took turns touching the lowered heads of the two dogs. Of course, it was inevitable that she would be washed away by saliva, and she just giggled. After a while, I had enough fun before I said, “Hey, smell these people, and remember. You will meet in the forest later, don’t bite it.”

Listen to the instructions, two dog heads Turning around suddenly, I looked back at the people who had settled here. Seeing that everyone was frightened, I was afraid that they would be swallowed in one bite. The big dog with black hair and gray hooves circled around from the left; the big dog with gray and white mixed with white hair on the bridge of the nose circled the other side. The two dogs were on the left and the other, passing by the crowd, their noses twitching lightly.

There was no intimidating low bark, no arrogant barking demonstrations, just passing quietly. His clear big eyes couldn’t see any thoughts, as if he was looking at an unrelated dead thing, pacing slowly. It’s just such a calmness, which is even more scary.

The two dogs circled around and then returned to Hallumi. Ignoring everyone behind him, he whimpered a few times at the girl.

“Hey, do you think there is something strange on the west side?”

There are a few more whispers. Hallumi nodded, but first came to the leading old man and said, “Sir, that’s it. You don’t have to worry about the demonic beasts in the forest, all of which will be expelled by my teacher. But there are still some carnivorous ones. The wild beast is here, so the protection work that needs to be done is also essential. In this way, you can go directly to the village.”

After speaking, the girl gave another long whistle. The two dogs got up, one twisted and kicked, and while running past the girl, the gray hoof’s neck lowered, and the girl who was holding her hair was arched onto her back and sat down. Then the two big dogs ran with all their strength, and in a blink of an eye, they sank into the forest again.

The people who were left behind, looked at each other in blank dismay, exchanged a few words, and drove their carts and horses to the abandoned village. I want to sleep in a roofed place tonight, but there are many things to be busy.

It’s just that the curtain of a certain caravan was slightly lifted by a corner, and the person hiding in it took a look at the direction where the two big dogs were leaving, then looked back at the towering three-story tower.

The moss on the exterior wall has long been removed, and the bricks and stones everywhere have been restored. There is no mottled place, and it is not at all like a magic tower that has been inherited for thousands of years. In addition to the big gap that was breached in the east, some people would believe that there is a newly built tower in front of them.

What kind of person is the magician who has worked so hard to renovate the appearance of an ancient pagoda? The people in the wagon were puzzled.

In the core room on the third floor, Lin returned to his homework. The previous time, the six-star Lianzhu, although I could not observe it properly, the various sensors and recorders set up did indeed retain the data. In the past few days, those data are being used to correct the deficiencies of the original program.

Kaya, who was making notes on the side, gave a sigh. “Teacher, the list they provided does not match the actual number of people.”

“Regardless of him.” Lin stared at the screen in front of him, without turning his head, and said, “I will come to the magician territory to ask for life. The kind of people who can’t get along in aristocratic territories. And although the group of people bring their families with them, they have calluses left by holding weapons, and they are as strong as bears, and they say they are a group of people wearing armor. I also believe in elite fighters. Those who write fewer names should be the ones they want to protect. Speaking of which, whether their names are true or not is questionable.”

“So we? “

“It’s the same sentence, regardless of him.” Lin turned his head to face Kaya, and said seriously: “We will not intervene in the affairs of the nobility. Those people live wherever they want to live. If it weren’t for that The abandoned village is within X ten days (10 kilometers), and I don’t even care about it. Don’t take them too much. Anyway, we live in the tower and live without them. The most important thing is to keep our distance. Too close to them, I think there will be trouble in the future. You have to tell Hallumi these words to let her know.”

“So, what is milk and cheese?”

“On the one hand, I want to eat. On the other hand…” Looking at Kaya’s thin flat body, Lin regretfully shook the head and said: “You are still developing, and you are still saved, so you need to take good nutrition. Otherwise. I will regret it later.”

“en?” Although Kaya didn’t change her face, she tilted her head and showed suspicious eyes.
