My Summons Are Weird Chapter 276

The businessmen fully agreed to Lu Yu's conditions. It would be great to have such a powerful person to protect them, even if it was only to the ridge of the volcano. What's more, he didn't even want money!

The people in the **** team no longer faltered, and came forward to apologize.

Uncle Shuji sat in front of Lu Yu: "Please don't take it to heart, we are all vulgar people with swords in hand, looking for food on the edge of life and death, many people have concerns, so they will drag others down for those who do not follow the rules. of people are angrier...it might make you feel angry, but it's true."

Seeing that this rough man was very serious, and a little nervously mixed up the reaction of the guards, and explained it clearly, Lu Yu was a little dumbfounded. He didn't take it to heart at all. The reactions of the guards were normal reactions of normal people being dragged into trouble. If he encountered someone who caused big trouble for him, and he was not familiar with it, he would be so slanderous. of.

Seeing that the guards were still a little uneasy, he took the wine bag and took a sip.

Seeing Lu Yu's move, everyone's eyes widened.

It's really bad wine, not only sour, but also not mellow at all. It's like mixing wine with water and adding some vinegar... Such unpleasant wine is really rare.

Lu Yu was surprised by this sudden thought, and quickly recalled everything that happened when he came to this world.

Really, because he has Lulu by his side, he has the confidence to deal with many things. At first, it was the sense of security that Lulu gave him. When he became a little stronger, and he could summon summons such as **** chariots and pianos. , Powerful gives him the right to see a higher level.

Although the journey to send Lulu home was hard, compared to those who had no confidence in magic and could only bow their heads to meet all kinds of unexpected situations, Lu Yu actually went very smoothly.

Not only that, but after leaving people like Sera and Lulu, I found out that I have really become stronger. The strength of Tier 4, in actual combat, relies on Xuyi and dual-element summons, and can protect itself even in the face of Tier 6. If you take into account the summons submitted in the summoning manual and have not been summoned, such power is in Mei Laura is also excellent.

Following the two geniuses, he was forced to follow them to challenge the high-end game all the time. For the first time, he played a low-level dungeon, and Lu Yu found out...

"What, I'm quite brave."

For adventurers and mercenaries, drinking is sometimes a ritual.

Many mercenaries don't like to drink, and they don't like the feeling that their brains are anesthetized and confused. It's just because friends who are born and die all drink, so he also drinks.

Although it was just a chance encounter, but there were still a few days to reach the ridge of the volcano, Lu Yu didn't like the atmosphere where everyone around was trembling and scrutinizing his own reaction.

Sure enough, Lu Yu took a gulp of wine, and the guards let out a long sigh of relief. There was no fear in Lu Yu's eyes, only admiration remained.

Several members of the **** team took a swig of alcohol and stepped forward, asking Lu Yu why he was going to Mount Fury Ridge, and why he stayed in several city-states on the border of Solon.

After the distance is drawn, it is drawn closer in one breath. This is the most straightforward and direct way for mercenaries to get along.

Seeing this, Uncle Tree Branch sent them to deal with the corpse. After all, Lu Yu and they are not people from the same world. Even if he is willing to let go of his body and communicate with everyone, the huge gap of knowledge will make this group of shallow people offend him unknowingly.

For such a powerful summoner, there are only a handful of Mela on the fingertips. Combined with his behavior and conversation, it can be basically concluded that the origin is extraordinary... He went out with a certificate stamped and signed by the bishop, and showed it unreservedly every time he was questioned. , I am afraid it is to hide his true identity, after all, Lu Yu's performance does not look immature at all, on the contrary, he is very mature and calm.

After arriving at the city-state where the merchants were bulk cargo, Lu Yu did not follow the merchants, and refused the guide of the **** team. He got into the most prosperous and popular street in the city-state alone.

Vendors without shops occupy the prime areas on both sides of the road, laying out **** that they don't know where to buy, and shouting vigorously.

Don't want to go to the lord's mansion, the farmers who sell grain and rice in the merchant's shop arrange the gifts given to them by the earth. From time to time, they hold some of the dark palms with calluses and cracks from long-term labor, and show it to the passers-by without shouting. Instead, he uses his eyes and movements to silently show off the results of his labor.

Adventurers who need to replenish equipment and rations shuttle through this street. From time to time, they plunge into the clanging blacksmith shop, drink a sip of wine in the tavern from time to time, and finally pass by the farmers who are selling old grain. Pick and choose a few for a rainy day. It's just that these rude people were always careless when they rummaged through the bags, and the rice grains wrapped in the gaps at the edges of the bags were spilled on the ground. On the pedestrian-like avenue, Lu Yu could see a few farmers with children from time to time. He picked out the rice grains that had been stepped into the loess by his feet, and put them back into his pockets tremblingly.

Lu Yu came to a farmer. The old man's skin was already dark and reddish. Looking down at him from top to bottom, Lu Yu couldn't help squatting when he saw his cloudy and hopeful eyes.

"Good rice..." Lu Yu put his hand into the rice bag, feeling the feeling of rice grains squeezing his palms from all directions, looking at those white and fat rice grains, he couldn't help but admire.

Suddenly there was light in the old man's eyes: "Master, you have eyesight, buy... buy some."

Lu Yu asked, "What price..."

"This bag only needs ten copper coins."

Lu Yu weighed the rice bag and felt that it was basically 20 pounds. According to the prices of various countries that Sigrid had learned after arriving in the teaching country, this price was undoubtedly expensive, because the basic currency circulating in Shikoku could continue to be refined. points.

"This price is more expensive than what I bought in Pope City."

The old man was afraid that Lu Yu would leave, and explained: "Our tax rate is high, so I can't compare it with us... I already have the lowest price. No matter how low it is, we can't even pay the tax..."

"I remember that Solon's tax rate was adjusted by the unified agreement of the royal family."

The old man was stunned for a while: "The royal agreement, I don't know... I only know that the lord asked to hand over grain and rice according to the land area... No matter if the harvest is bad or not, as long as you have the land, you must hand it in... If you can't hand it in, you must pledge the child. For the serf, cultivate enough grain for him to regain his freedom."

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and he hurriedly asked, "You were also a serf before?"

"Our ancestors were all slaves... But I don't know why, sixty years ago, Emperor Solon seemed to have made some reforms, and the serfs of many border city-states were freed and allocated land. At first we all thought it was a good thing... After all You only need to pay taxes to have a piece of your own land, and you don't need to be whipped, which is something that I never dared to think about before.”

"But as time goes on, the tax rate is getting higher and higher... At first, the tax was paid according to the harvest, and then the tax was paid proportionally... Now it is paid according to the size of the land. If you can't pay before, you can borrow food to support it. ... If we don't go now, we won't have any children."

Xu Xu on the side was puzzled: "But since you have to repay the debt, then the rice should be given directly to the lord, why should it be sold?"

Lu Yu explained for the old man: "Because the purchase price of the lords and merchants can't satisfy them, you can at least make more money by selling them to mobile adventurers... Let me think about it, the lords allow you to use money instead of grain and rice to deduct taxes, right? Bar?"

"Yes... lord... buy some, even a handful, it's all good food... if you're afraid of getting dirty, I'll sift it for you."

Saying that, the old man picked up the tools on the side, and he had to sift it again.

Lu Yu took out a few copper coins and put them in the old man's hand: "Send the rice to the caravan in the east of the city, someone will take it."

Seeing the old man limping away with a bag of rice, Lu Yu had mixed feelings in his heart.

He wanted to give a silver coin directly, but he was afraid that his self-esteem would be unacceptable.

Thinking of Sera's exhortation when he went out, he laughed at himself and shook his head again: "She sees it, maybe she will laugh at me."

Lu Yu then found some traders to ask about the situation, and basically understood some of the conditions on the border of Solon.

Xu Yu said: "These city-states are rebelling. They don't follow the tax rates set by the king, and they even set their own tax rates."

"Didn't you find it?"

"Found what?"

"The private tax rate set by these lords is basically aimed at ordinary people, and their purpose is to make ordinary people become serfs again. In the past, the shops operating here used basically the same tax rate, even if they asked for protection fees. The situation exists, but they do follow the rules laid down by the Solonian royal family."

"Does the royal family care?"

Lu Yu said: "You can understand the reason when you have seen Solon's map. Among the four major kingdoms of mankind, the largest is Kedzorn, who guards the east and blocks the passage of alien invasion. Because of the common threat of aliens, Kodzorn The border nobles of De Zorn need some support from the bottom people, and they dare not push too hard, otherwise no one is willing to advance and retreat with the city-state. Next is Sligo, who occupies the north-central area of ​​Mela, and they focus on power. In the south, the vast north is regarded as a place of labor reform for the most heinous people, and in the north there is Sligo's old enemy, the dragon clan. They need something to fight for a little bit, so they squeeze and learn to rationally... er... fish?"

"Look at Solon again. Although the most powerful forest spirits in the north are a threat, they are also fighting within themselves. Other races are relatively poor and weak. Bordering Solon, the city-state and effect of the buffer zone of the four major countries are fundamental Don't dare to conflict with the behemoth Solon. You can often hear the news that the lord of Solon invaded a small country and was despised by the nobles. In the south, the nobles can't wait to squeeze the non-Solon race into juice and drink it, you see If the squirrels of Civita can survive, why would they rebel? Don't they know they can't beat Solon?"

Lu Yu shook his head and sighed, "Solon, it's too safe."

Now that the four major countries are all balanced, no one has the ambition to go further, and guards their own territory. The Solon nobles, who could not see any external enemies in the short term, did not intend to give profits to ordinary people at all. The nobles who were close to the royal city of Rhodes Mill had to show their faces, and they were more reserved, and they were also afraid of the authority of the royal family.

And the nobles of the borders of Solon...

"The untouchables still want us to make a profit, why?"

At first, Lu Yu couldn't figure out why the political system he saw along the way was awkward. It seemed to be a hodgepodge. The relationship between the feudal lords, the emperor, and the monarch and ministers was a bit twisted. Later, he gradually understood.

The sudden appearance of magic and the successive waves of magic power have led to a huge upheaval every time the regional civilization brews.

This kind of thing happens one after another, and even if the rulers of the country have foresight, the people below have their own thoughts.

If it's close to shuffling time, why should I be honest and be a good person?

Good people always suffer.

I will try to fatten myself up as much as possible and accumulate more advantages, so that I can wait for the rise of the magic tide and climb to the top first, with stronger power in my hand.

The nobles may not be stupid, but most of them are selfish. Once such an idea spreads, it becomes a reasonable choice to shuffle the cards when the magic tide may come.

Lu Yu realized a lot of things in an instant.

Laurent should have speculated from his own words that the tide of magic might come sooner than he expected. Although he didn't know where Lu Yu got the news, planning ahead is what a person in his position should do.

Let him come to Solon no matter what, and said with a smile that this is an assignment, in fact, I hope he sees ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Under the circumstance that magicians and scholars predict that the magic tide may come in the next 20 years, How rotten the borders of Solon are.

Without the stimulation of powerful foreign enemies, the mighty Solon began to degenerate in comfort.

The Civita area is just a microcosm, the border far from the royal city of Rhodes Mill, those nobles who are waiting to shuffle the cards, the lords who are in harmony with each other, are turning their territories into one after another Civita.

Now they are just squeezing ordinary people with Solon identity, trying to exploit them as their own serfs, at least they respect the Solon royal family on the surface. But once the turmoil started, their hands would stretch out longer.

Of the four major countries, none of them are stable.

Is it the cycle of history? Lu Yu couldn't help asking in his heart.

Lu Yu looked up at the sky: "I hope there will be a long interval after this magic wave ends... For magicians, all this is too slow, but for ordinary people... it's really too fast."
