Magic Tower Starry Sky

After a pause, Lin touched his beardless chin and said, "As for the tax part. Let me tell you what skills you all have?"

Lin Zai has lived in obsession for more than ten years, knowing that what should be taken should be taken, and not taking it will make people panic. For this group of pioneers, paying taxes to their lords was more of a protection fee than an obligation. It's like 'I gave you a sum of money, if there are monsters or barbarians to harass me, you have the responsibility to protect us. ’ and the like.

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

In the same way, if Lin generously said that he would live here tax-free. On the contrary, it will make them worry about whether the magician lord does not intend to take the responsibility of protecting the people when danger occurs; even the lord himself has evil intentions. It's 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 magic tower, it is only natural to ask for each other's needs. What ordinary people want is safety and security; as a lord, what a magician needs is not necessarily food grown in the ground, but also other services.

Whether the proposed request is accepted is another level of question. Wanting to unilaterally subdue people by force, this group of people living at the bottom mostly have the ability to steal, rape, play tricks, and obey others. Big deal, they fight one more and walk away.

Therefore, the old man was not surprised by the question of the magician lord. He said honestly: "My lord, among our people are tailors, blacksmiths, carpenters, wheelwrights, and bakers. There are also those who are good at farming and raising livestock. Women also have strength and can do any heavy work. "

It sounds like just about any adult has a bit of a knack. In fact, Lin also understands that it is not such a group of people who really dare not bring their families and relatives to a new place to live.

From Lin's point of view, it will take time for this group of people to reorganize the wasteland, and the food grown may not be enough for this group of people, so why bother to rob them of the things in the field. The food supplies bought from the chamber of commerce are all high-quality food with good grades and appearance. I am still worrying that there is nowhere to spend my money, and carrying too many gold coins makes people jealous, so don't think about saving this little money.

However, as soon as Lin heard that there was someone who 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 is not popular in the southwestern part of the mainland. Most people raise cattle and horses for other purposes, or produce a small amount of dairy products for their own use, and rarely sell them commercially.

There was also a rise in the past, whether it was raising a cow or two. But that is too much trouble. Both dogs are free-range, not to mention they have to serve two cows. After a whole day, do they have to do other things? Since there is a professional, of course he wants to invite him to ask: "Can you invite the person who is good at raising livestock to come in, I have something to ask him."

"Of course, my lord." After finishing speaking, the old man turned his head and said, "Boy, go and ask Mr. Holstein to come in."

"Yes, father."

After a while, the person who left brought in a strong and powerful man. Walking into the pagoda, he bowed to Lin 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 big lord manage the ranch. I have been helping in the ranch since I was a child. So I am good at animals, big and small."

"Then can you make cheese?"

"Cheese? Although it's a bit more troublesome to make, it also takes time to mature. But yes, I can also make cheese."

Lin Da was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said, "Great. From now on, you only need to send a bucket of fresh milk every day, and two pieces of cheese every month. These will be your taxes to settle here. It’s just that the only person who can do it is you.” His eyes drifted to the old man who took the lead.

That one was also a shrewd person, and he immediately understood and said, "My lord, please don't worry. We will help him share the tasks of the Holstein family. It's just that if we want to raise cattle, we have to go to the city to buy cattle and build Fencing the barns to keep out wild animals. The work won't be done so quickly."

"It doesn't matter, just wait until you are all ready, and then start to provide. You are new here, there must be a lot of things to do. For a while, you should find a way to settle down first. As for the issue of beasts—" Lin turned his head and ordered Girl, "──Halomi, let Gray Hoof and White Nose recognize these people, and don't bring them harm."

Looking at the old man who didn't know why, Lin smiled and said, "We have two guard dogs. We will ask your people to recognize those two dogs later. Don't be too scared. There are no guard dogs in this forest. They are more ferocious beasts, so you can rest easy. That's it."

"Okay, thank you for your magnanimity." The old man led everyone to salute, and then left with Hallumi. And Lin's figure also faded and disappeared.

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

The branches and leaves swayed, and the birds started up. Although there was no roar, there was a panic in the forest. This made the several strong men who got off the carriage feel the crisis, and some even pulled out a large ax for logging from the carriage. The most sensitive children grabbed their mother's dress in fear and trembled slightly.

Suddenly the woods opened up, and two figures, bigger than a bull, ran out, as fast as lightning and moving like shooting stars.

This is... Warcraft!

Without even thinking about it, several strong men immediately formed a human wall. Some took axes, and some picked up wooden sticks and canes, trying to protect their wives and children behind them.

They didn't take out the real thing in the bag because they knew it was too late. Almost in the blink of an eye, two monsters rushed forward, one jumped forward, and the other nimbly circled to the side. At the moment when they turned around, they seemed to be able to see the calm gaze of the monster. He didn't growl, he didn't bark his teeth, he was as confident as a seasoned hunter.

Either lean back with the monster that jumped over the head, or turn sideways with the monster that detoured. The sudden change shocked everyone, and at the same time they lost their balance and fell to the ground one after another. Just as he was thinking that there was bound to be a bloodbath behind him, he saw two monsters squatting obediently in front of the tower master's apprentice.

Really two dogs!

"Good, good." Hallumi took turns stroking the two dogs' lowered heads. Of course, she couldn't avoid the fate of washing her face with saliva, but she just giggled. After a while, after playing enough, he said, "Hey, smell the smell of these people, remember. When you meet them in the forest, don't bite them down."

Hearing the instruction, the two dogs turned their heads suddenly and looked back at the people who came to settle here. Everyone was terrified to see it, for fear that it would be swallowed in one gulp. A big black-haired dog with gray hooves went around from the left; a big gray-and-white dog with a white streak on the bridge of the nose went around the other side. The two dogs walked past everyone, one on the left and the other on the right, their noses twitching slightly.

There was no threatening low barking, nor wild barking and demonstration, just passing by quietly. The big clear eyes couldn't see any thoughts, as if they were looking at unrelated dead objects, they walked slowly. It's just this kind of calm, which is even more frightening.

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

"Hey, you said there are strange things on the west side?"

There were several low beeps again. Hallumi nodded, but she came to the leading old man first and said, "Sir, that's all right. You don't have to worry about the powerful monsters in the forest, they were all expelled by my teacher. But there are still some There are carnivorous beasts, so the protection work that needs to be done is also indispensable. In this way, you can go directly to that village."

After speaking, the girl whistled again. The two dogs stood up, one twisted and kicked, and as they ran past the girl, Grayhoof's neck bowed, and the girl who had grabbed his hair sat down on his back. Immediately, the two big dogs ran with all their strength, and in a blink of an eye, they disappeared into the forest again.

The people who were left behind and looked at each other exchanged a few words, and then drove their chariots and horses towards the abandoned village. Want to sleep under a roof tonight, but there are many things to do.

It's just that the curtain of a certain caravan was slightly lifted, and the person hiding in it glanced at the direction where the two big dogs left, and then looked back at the three-story tower standing tall.

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

So what kind of person is a magician who put so much effort into renovating the appearance of an ancient pagoda? The people in the caravan were wondering ~www.NovelMTL.com~ In the core room on the third floor, Lin returned to his homework. The previous six-star tandem, although I didn't have a good time to observe it, the sensors and recorders set up did preserve the data. In the past few days, those data are being used to correct the shortcomings of the original program.

Kaya, who was taking notes at the side, let out a snort. "Teacher, the list they provided does not match the actual number of people."

"Don't care about him." Lin stared at the screen in front of him without turning his head, and said, "He will come to the magician's territory to seek a living. I guess he is the kind of person who can't get along in the noble territory. Although those people bring their families Yes, but there are calluses left by holding weapons on the hands, and the body is as strong as a bear. I also believe that they are a group of elite fighters wearing armor. And the people who don’t write their names should be the ones they want to protect Objects. Speaking of which, it is doubtful whether their names are real."

"Then we?"

"It's still the same sentence, don't care about him." Lin turned his head to look at Kaya, and said seriously: "We don't intervene in the affairs of the nobles. Those people can live wherever they want. If it weren't for the abandoned village in X days ( 10 kilometers), I don’t even want to talk to them. Don’t take them too seriously, anyway, we live in the tower, and we can live without them. The most important thing is to keep a distance. If you get too close to them, I guess I will There will be trouble. You have to pass these words on to Hallumi and let her know."

"So, milk and cheese?"

"On the one hand, I want to eat. On the other hand..." Lin looked at Kaya's thin and flat body, shook his head regretfully, and said, "You are still in the growth stage, and you are still saved, so you need to supplement your nutrition. Otherwise, you will regret it later."

"Huh?" Although Kaya's expression did not change, she tilted her head and showed doubts in her eyes.
