Heaven’s Intention

Because most of the officials in the small town are related to the lord baron, they still have a strong deterrent effect on ordinary town residents outside of their authority.

Seeing the tax officer Bakas from the mayor's mansion in the town walk in from the outside, and with an obviously unfriendly expression on his face, the people in the leather shop immediately walked out.

However, those people did not leave immediately. They all gathered not far outside, carefully and curiously watching the development of things here, pointing and whispering. After all, as a fifteen-year-old boy who just became a druid apprentice but quickly offended the druid Jayfa, Romon has too many highlights worthy of discussion after dinner.

Now even the tax official Bacchus is looking for trouble with him, and the people who are on the sidelines are naturally very curious.

Seeing that Romon turned to look at him, this middle-aged man who looked very capable smiled slightly: Romon, didn't that boy named Farfell convey my message to you? If not, then I don't mind talking to you again. Say it again, bison are not allowed to be bought and sold in small towns, did you understand this time?

Yes, Mr. Bacchus, I think I have understood, and I also met Farfell just now, and heard him convey your words, so I don't intend to sell those two calves anymore, I now I just want to get rid of this cowhide, Mr. Bacchus, is that okay? Romon asked respectfully.

Yes, you can't. Young man, don't try to be opportunistic. I've already heard from people in the temple about your matter. Why is Master Jiefa angry? Isn't it because of your willful behavior? Well, I will say what I said Come here. Romon, according to the tax law of the town, if you buy and sell bison and bison hides without permission, all proceeds will be confiscated. Since you have not succeeded in the transaction, then bring your cowhide over here. The tax official Baka said At that time, he didn't have the kind appearance towards Romon at the beginning, and he was completely business-like with a straight face.

Small town tax law? Romon was slightly taken aback. If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be no tax law in the town, right? Of course, it is not accurate to say that there is no such thing. It is more accurate to say that in this small town, all laws come from the people who manage it. Except for the various taxes that should be paid according to the fixed national laws, most other taxes are The Lord Baron has the final say. What prohibits private trading of bison and bison hides is not what the tax official said. However, as a young man with no power, is he capable of resisting? At least, not yet.

Okay, Mr. Bakas, since buying and selling bison is prohibited in the town. It is also forbidden to buy and sell bison hides. Then, I would rather be punished, and I will never make such a mistake again in the future. The cowhide is for you. It is expected that under such obvious difficulties, Romon did not argue hard. Even though the young man objected, it was useless in the end, but Romon's calm appearance still surprised the tax official Bakas.

If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. Goodbye, Mr. Bakas. Romon put the cowhide in Bakas' hands with a calm expression, and then, after a farewell ceremony, he walked out.

This calm expression, this seemingly humble attitude, made the tax officer Bacchus narrow his eyes again. He touched the ring on his right index finger almost habitually, and then looked at the boy away with a complicated expression.

Could this decision be wrong? He muttered to himself, the voice was just loud enough that only he could hear.

Although Romon is indeed a boy from a humble background, and only a level 1 druid, but with the talent of this boy who can become a druid at the age of fifteen, and his temperament is obviously more mature than his peers, in the future only Afraid……

Even though Priest Tennis was a little unhappy because he was closer to Miss Alini and was suppressed by the temple, he is already a Druid after all, and he will still be so young in the future...

Thinking of this,

This tax official, who has always been known for being cautious and good at watching the wind and steering the rudder, fell into deep thought. Now that...he has already formed a relationship with this young man, if he doesn't completely suppress this young man, I'm afraid it will be a disaster in the future!

So... let's do it.

And while Bacchus was still thinking, Romon had stepped into the forest again.

It's November, and the plants in the temple are still growing vigorously, but the vegetation in the forest is already showing a strong decay.

Luo Meng casually took out a piece of dry bread from the Shennong Corner space, ate and walked while sorting out his thoughts.

I don't have much money left, and since I have already had such a trouble with Druid Jafa, I am afraid that I will pay back the 300 silver coins I owe him soon. Coupled with some other fees and expenses, he still needs to get at least 400 silver coins as soon as possible to overcome the current difficulty.

Moreover, Romon felt a little uneasy when he thought of the tax officer Bakas deliberately making things difficult just now. If he read it correctly, this middle-aged man who always smiles is a typical smiling tiger, and he usually doesn't get involved in enmities that have nothing to do with him. I'm afraid that if he had trouble with himself just now, there are reasons for other people to intervene.

Is it... Jaffa? No, that's unlikely.

Romon shook his head.

Although this druid has always been lukewarm to him, and now he is resolutely expelled, but generally speaking, Jayfa is not an evil camp.

So, is it Reverend Tennis? This guy who has always looked down on him? Romon pondered for a while, feeling that the possibility of this hypothesis is not small.

Or maybe there are still some people who can't stand him, a man with no background, who is now a druid and climbs up? Possibility is not impossible. He secretly thought.

So, what is their attack method? Forbid him to buy and sell bison? If that's the case, he still has a way to deal with it. At the very least, the town's law doesn't prohibit buying and selling medicinal herbs, right? Animals cannot be bought and sold, he has the advantage in finding and cultivating plants, obviously, he can't starve to death. It's just that the speed at which this money is accumulated is not as good as the high-risk and high-income business of buying and selling bison.

Romon thought with some annoyance. However, anyway, he doesn't have much affection for this small town. If it's really not good to be oppressed and excluded, he will just walk away. With his current little martial arts skills and ability to understand nature, it is not a bad idea to go to another place to start again, but if this is the case, he may be charged as a debt evader.

So, when the bread was finished, Romon started to look for plants that were not in the space while walking.

His mood gradually calmed down, and he leisurely admired the beautiful scenery in front of him. Halfway through, he even killed a hare, found an open space, and started to barbecue and eat.

Seeing that it was getting dark, he put the half-eaten rabbit meat into the space, then got up and walked back.

When he first entered the town, a person stopped him suddenly. Hello, are you Romon?

I am, may I ask who you are? Romon stood up and looked up and down the person in front of him.

This is a middle-aged man with short stature, thinning hair, half-new clothes, and a sallow, thin face. This man seems to have been seen in the town not long ago, but he rarely came out. rare

Haha, it's like this. I'm Czech from the Thieves Guild. Our branch president wants to discuss something with you. The man leaned in front of Romon and said in a low voice.

Romon frowned: The Thieves Guild?

In the memory of Romon's reception, it seems that he doesn't have a deep impression of this trade union.

Seeing that Romon stopped thinking, Czech quickly introduced in a low voice: Thieves' unions generally operate in large and medium-sized towns. Originally, there were none in the town. We are also a branch of the Thieves' Union that was just established here. I belong to the union. Member, this time I came to you to discuss a deal...

After speaking, he looked around again, and said in a low voice, I heard that you hunted a bison, right?

That's right. Romon became more vigilant. Does this have anything to do with you looking for me?

Czech laughed and said: Of course it has something to do with it! I also heard that the bison you hunted is prohibited from being sold in the town, right? Our branch president came to you to discuss this matter. We want to buy you bison. And...

He deepened his smile again: If you can hunt bison or other animals in the future, we will take them all. How about it, if you are interested, come with me to the trade union?

Although the person in front of him gave him a very unreliable feeling, but when he thought that if this business could really come true, he would quickly solve the predicament in front of him, and Romon was a little moved. Under Czech's persuasion, he finally decided to go and have a look first.

The branch of the Thieves Guild in the small town was located in a very remote place. They didn't even enter the town. Just outside the town, they temporarily built a lair. It was a stone room under a forest.

The person who was negotiating business with him was also a middle-aged man, but he looked much better than the image of Czech, and even looked more honest than ordinary people. Such a person is actually a thief, and he is also a small boss, Romon finds it inconceivable. Only when talking to him, the occasional flashes of light in that person's eyes let Romon know that this person is definitely not a good person.

Business talks are going well. It's just that the price given by the other party is very low. However, this was also within Romon's expectation. After all, in the current situation where the buffalo could not be sold at all, if the price offered by the other party was still high, then he really had to think carefully about whether there was something wrong with it.

Even so, when the negotiation was about to end, Romon took out a bug from the space and put it under the conference table while the other party was not paying attention. This bug was purchased in the original world. Although it is not a high-end item, it can also amplify the sound. I don’t know if it can be used here.

And those thieves were in a situation where they were satisfied with the deal, so no one noticed Romon's little move.

No one noticed that a metal object about the size of a button had been placed under the table.
