Lord of terror

The fringe lord of Bell East came to Monroe and walked for a month and a half. Following Muchelle's words, both of them were ready to walk for seven or eight days, but...

"I'll make Belle run full speed, don't hug me, hold on to the saddle."

The back of the feather horse is wide enough, and Muchel prepared a double-saddle saddle. Kunz has no exact concept of the full speed of the feather horse. Although he rode it when he went to the space rift last time, he felt that John was perfunctory at that time. .In short, he, who has always been obedient, immediately grasped the handle in the middle of the double saddles as soon as he got on the horse.

Obedient children have sweets... Although the feather horse is made of flesh and blood, in the wizarding world it can reach very frightening speeds at the very beginning.When Kunz jumped down from the North Tower, he didn't feel such a terrifying speed, but he felt similar when he descended from the highest point on a modern roller coaster.

He was afraid of flying out with the basket in case. Fortunately, the basket was stronger, and the leather rope brought by Mussel was used to tie the basket to the horse's back, so although the basket changed from a vertical horseback to a parallel horseback , finally did not drop the case.

The feather horse was still accelerating, and with Kunz's rough skin and thick flesh, the wind in his face brought him the pain of cutting his face.The feather horse is still going up, not climbing, but taking off.

Kunz was a little excited and a little sad - horses can fly, but I can't.

The rumbling noises were left behind by them. Kunz couldn't hear the loud noises, but he could see the white sonic boom cloud. If he saw the feathered horse from a farther place now, he would probably think that it had something to do with it. wings.The last time the captain’s light took him to fly, it was definitely in a supersonic state, so he didn’t see the sonic boom cloud, but it was quiet and elegant, although Kunz himself was not elegant at all…

"arrive."

"!" Just when he was thinking about the captain, there was still wasteland all around, so this is it?

Is it because the speed of the feather horse accelerated at that moment, or did Kunz's time flow suddenly differ from others when he thought of the captain?

Kunz hid his abnormality, and quickly dismounted: He was completely tempted, and he had to control himself.The captain is his benefactor, guardian and partner.The captain has no intention of developing a relationship with him at all, so he should also cut off the redundant relationship, otherwise it will bring trouble to both parties.

In case Muchel put him down, the pandaren are fearless, but occasionally they still get dizzy... (XωX)

In case of trying hard to stand still, the two short legs struggled for a long time, but there was still a grunt, and the legs softened and sat down.

Muchel slapped the feather horse Belle, and Belle let out a meow, and ran away happily.

In case, after a long delay, he was finally able to stand up. He took out a gray hooded cape from his straw backpack and put it on, covering himself tightly from head to tail.

But now they are standing in a field, and there is no sign of a large city around them.Because feather horses are also very precious and expensive beasts in the Sherfer Empire. Riding Belle into Tarian City, which has no good intentions for Kunz, may cause unnecessary troubles. The rest of the journey depends on the two of them. Legs gone.

"I'm sorry." Muchelle said, raised his hands to wrap Wan Dimian's waist, and clamped the panda Ge Ji, "I will pay attention to the speed, little lord."

"Ok."

Muchel's body leaned forward slightly, and in the next moment he had already rushed out.Kunz took two long legs and followed behind him.

After running for about 10 minutes in the miscellaneous woods, they finally saw the road after running out of a pile of chaotic grass that was as high as a person's chest.Although it is a small road with the width of only one person, it definitely belongs to the national road level in this world.

After another four and ten minutes of running, at the end of the road, Kunz saw the pinnacle of a tower with a triangular flag flying from its top.The closer they got, the more parts of the castle were revealed, and then the towering city walls...

In the teaching of Moria, Tarian City is known as the most prosperous city in the northwest border, but along the way, on this dilapidated and narrow national road, no one wants to enter the city, and Kunz is far away. From a distance, I saw the thatched roofs of the village, but I didn't see the villagers.But considering that there are only 5000 people in the city, it doesn't seem too difficult to understand.

When they stopped, Kunz asked Muchel curiously: "Tarian City is built on a very low ground? Wouldn't it be dangerous to encounter floods?"

"The castle is not afraid."

Kunz subconsciously looked at Wandian, and Wandian was also looking at him. The two happened to meet each other. Although they knew that the civilization of this world really did not take civilians seriously, they still They were all shocked by the low bottom line shown by the facts.

Muchel stood behind Kunz and poked him on the shoulder: "Remember, if you want to be arrogant, you must be arrogant. As long as the other party is not a lord or noble, you must be as arrogant as you want, understand?"

"……perhaps."

The city wall of Monroe was destroyed by a demon. Kunz only saw it from the window of the castle in the memory of the original owner. It was completely different from the feeling of walking over and seeing the city wall.

The city wall here is still very spectacular, at least more than 30 meters high. Due to the erosion of the years, the surface of the city wall has been slightly denuded, which makes people feel the thickness of the years and makes Kunz want to leave.He obviously felt that there were very few people in this castle just now, but now thinking about living with more than 1 strangers in this besieged city, he felt uncomfortable in various ways—when he was at home, the new slaves were brought by the official , will not come close.

The city gate was closed. As they walked in, a head wearing an iron helmet poked out from above the city gate: "Stop! Tell me your name! Tell me why you are here."

"Baron Monrofi, pay your taxes!"

"It's past tax time! Come back tomorrow morning!"

"..." Is this starting to embarrass people?Do you want to promise to come down and turn around and leave?Kunz thought of what Mussel said, the more outrageous the better.He took a deep breath and walked straight ahead.

"Stand back! Baron Monrofi! Back off!" The soldiers on the city wall shouted, and the sound of iron boots trampling on the ground could be heard, and the sound of yelling at Kunz to retreat soon turned into a chorus.

Kunz didn't care, kicked... He wanted to burst out the power of the flame, but just as his power surged in his body, he was suppressed back - this is the feeling of being weakened in someone else's territory, and Kunz also He felt that his extraordinary strength was suppressed, so he could only rely on the strength of his body.

"Boom!" (;д;) Jio hurts.

Kunz, who can jump down from the north tower and land on one knee effortlessly, felt a sour feeling immediately spread up his toes, and what was worse, his boots were kicked off. , the sole and the upper are separated, and the socks are also worn, and half of the sole of the foot is exposed...

It was the first time to face outsiders arrogantly, and instead of hitting others in the face, he made himself feel ashamed.

"Boom!" There was a second sound of slamming on the door, and Muchel, who was following, also made up for it.As soon as he stepped down, the huge city gate shook violently, and dust from all over the city gate floated out—a faint smell of blood could be smelled from the dust.

Mussel's example tells Kunz that even if they are also suppressed, but the upper limit of ability is different, the remaining strength after being suppressed is also different.

"Bang!" Muchel kicked a second time, and the stubble in the place hit by his two consecutive kicks was shattered and dented, which also proved the thickness of the door.

"Stop kicking! Lord Baron, we will pull you up!"

Just as Kunz was about to go out, Muchel held his shoulders, and at the same time, Mussel kicked him again.

"This is the door! Let's open the door!"

"..." It seems that his arrogance is not enough, but that foot... When waiting to open the door, Kunz took off the broken boot, stuffed it into his own pocket, and took out another boot from it. This piece of clothing is wrapped around my feet——_(:з」∠)_It’s really a pity to throw it away, I can still wear it when I go back to the cobbler to repair it.Because he thought he would be out for at least six or seven days, he also stuffed a set of replacement clothes in the bag carrying the magic power crystal.

The gate will not be opened, but on the side of this huge city gate, there is a small gate that allows one person to pass through.

The door was opened, and a soldier dressed in a tin can stood there: "Please come in, Baron Monroe."

His eyes scanned Kunz's whole body. Kunz was wearing black breeches, a fine linen jacket with slightly oversized sleeves and small lace cuffs, a black velvet waistcoat, dark blue breeches, and boots. Although there is only one left, it has the emblem of the Monroe family embroidered on it, and the shirt wrapped around the other foot is also of good material.

Koontz's physical condition is even less destitute. He is tall and muscular, and his black hair is neatly tied in a scrunchie.His entourage is also well-dressed, and there is a entourage of a foreign race?When he kicked the door just now, under the pressure of the dukedom, he also kicked the door so that it trembled, which showed that his talent level was not low.

——This knight is not a soldier, but the captain of the guard guarding the gate, and also the brother of the current lover of the Duke of Wenerta.

Keeping a goal in this world is a fat job in itself, and there is another special job in Tarian City during the tax season.The nobles of the territories around the Duchy of Huerta will come to pay taxes, and businessmen will also come to buy "excess" taxes from the Duke.Because this kind of thing has been going on for a long time, the tax-paying nobles of the territory will bring surplus goods to some extent, and exchange or sell the supplies they need with other people.

The captain had some knowledge. Obviously, the Baron Monroe in front of him was not as humble and impoverished as the rumors said.The captain was in awe, but also a little jealous. The illegitimate son raised as a servant who was not recognized by his biological father turned out to be like this now. If his nephew could...

"Captain? Captain? Shouldn't the door be closed?" When the captain was distracted, the three of them had already walked some distance away.

Kunz paused for less than half a second when he heard the title "Captain". He felt in his heart that the captain and the captain were really different, and then quickened his pace.

The captain also looked at their backs: "What do you think they have to pay taxes? Is it the alien race?"

There are three people, Kunz is carrying a sack, and the foreigner is carrying a straw bag. It's just that big, what can be put in it?

"The things in that bag seem to be grains of grains. They may be the tax money they brought. Do you think they are gold grains?"

"!" The captain was startled, his heart itched, "Go back to the city wall, I'll make it easier for you!"

Obviously, in the past, it was convenient to find a place nearby. Dogs can dig holes, but people don't need it.Now he ran towards the city while shouting for convenience, who was he lying to?But of course the soldier kept his mouth shut and wouldn't say much.

From the city gate to Winerta Castle, there is a fairly spacious main road—slightly narrower than the four-lane flower planter.Both sides of this main road are densely packed with mud houses, and the stench wafts from both sides.Some children were playing in the narrow gaps between the mud houses, and some adults were weaving or doing carpentry in the outdoor sunlight. But when someone saw Kunz and the others from a distance, the children were immediately taken back to the room by the adults, and the mud houses were crumbling. The dilapidated doors and windows were closed as tightly as possible.

Kunz felt the gazes shooting at him from the mud house. There was curiosity, but more of alertness and fear.This feeling didn't completely disappear until the surrounding houses turned into mud brick houses after walking more than 500 meters.

The area of ​​the mud-brick house became much more lively, not only because there were more people, but also the humming of pigs and the barking of chickens and dogs.

"My lord! Do you want a woman? I have men too!" A skinny man suddenly jumped out from the shadow of the mud-brick house, but he was only half a step faster than the others.

"My lord, do you want wine?" "My lord! I have good cheese here!" "Ham! Ham!" "Honey!"

A group of people rushed out, they were dirty and smelly, with hideous and distorted faces, and they squeezed towards Kunz one by one.

"Stay away from me." Kunz said, he had already committed social terror, his face was expressionless because he was stiff, and his voice was steady because he couldn't speak louder at all.

"My lord!" "Look at me, my lord!" "My lord..."

These people didn't hear Kunz's words at all, or they didn't hear what they heard, and continued to shout loudly, getting closer and closer.

"Boom!" Kunz kicked out.

People are obviously not as strong as the city gate, and Kunz, who was suppressed, also controlled his own strength. One person flew out, but his other boot was not blown off.

The person who flew out fell to the ground, rolled over, and ran away into the alley.

"Stay away from me." Kunz's voice was already hoarse.

Everyone heard the sound, and they took two steps back, still hesitating.There are very few nobles who pay taxes but only bring two entourages. They usually bring at least two or three knights, as well as entourage and guards.It is impossible for these little people to deal face to face with that kind of noble.

"Get out." Kunz took another step forward, his hand resting on the sword, not to kill, but to support himself to take a step forward.

But as a lord noble, even in the land of other lords, he still has the power to kill.

These small businessmen finally changed their faces, turned around and ran away. Some of them fell to the ground and rolled a few times because they ran too eagerly.

The surrounding space became empty again, and Kunz let out a breath of relief from his tight throat.Moving forward, the condition of the houses is getting better and better, and the distance between the houses is getting wider and wider, not only the masonry structures, but also the second-floor small buildings, with gardens and fountains.

"Lord Baron Monrofi! The Big Bob Chamber of Commerce is waiting for you at any time!" A middle-aged fat man with a big belly stood at the entrance of a building with a door open to the main road. He smiled and waved to Kunz—the entrance of the building There was a sign for a clay jug full of grain, and it said Big Bob.

"Hello, gentlemen, welcome to rest." Another building with the door opening to the main road, this time standing at the door is a middle-aged lady in a long gray dress - the sign here is a curvy girl , which says Mama Tris.

The last more than 200 meters are all these "high-end commercial buildings", but there are only a few who greet Kunz, and most of them even close their doors tightly to him.Including the "Stone Brothers" blacksmith shop with a hammer and anvil hanging, the "Motna" tailor shop with a tape measure and scissors, and the "Harvest" grain store with Three Plants of Wheat. It can be said that important stores are closed.

"Can I knock on the door?" The blacksmith's shop was fine, but Kunz wanted to go in to the tailor's shop and the grain store.Wan also looked up at Muchelle, obviously feeling the same way.

"Tailor shops are fine, but grain shops are not. Behind the scenes of 'Harvest' is the royal family. A shop directly named after a noun is often more powerful than a shop named after it."

"... Has something to do with the rules?"

"Yes, shops or chambers of commerce named after nouns will more or less receive the protection of some gods in charge of the law."

"God..." Kunz had heard it, knew it, and let it go. God was still a very distant thing to him.

Out of the high-end commercial area, the next step is an uphill road.Tarian City itself is in a depression, and the castle of Duke Wenerta's family is built on a raised mountain in the center of Tarian City. The terrain here is really strange.

On the way up the mountain, I met a group of patrolling knights. The other party came over and asked Kunz why he was here, and then expressed his willingness to send them to the residence of the tax collector with a much better attitude than the gatekeepers.So they came down from the hillside again, walked towards the south of the city for about half an hour, and knocked on the door of a building.

——There are almost no merchants in the vicinity, but they are all brick and tile two-story buildings, many of which are equipped with glass windows, which should be high-end residential areas.

"The master is having dinner, and does not receive guests." There was a hole in the door that only showed the eyes.

Kunz: "Is the meal over?"

"Gods, what unreasonable people would want to visit a noble in the afternoon without being invited?!" The servant said to himself in an exaggerated tone.

Kunz felt that he was learning their capital accent, and because of the overemphasis on certain pronunciations, only affectation and funny remained.

Kunz glanced at Mussel, and asked with his eyes: Can you be arrogant?

Muchelle nodded.

When I raised my feet for the third time today, Kunz thought: Although the beginning of this life was very difficult, emmm...it is not easy now, but in fact I am still spoiled by many people.Although the social fear is not good, but at this age, he has developed a youthful spirit.

"Boom!" This door was still not as strong as the city gate. It, and the servant behind it, were kicked away by Kunz. on him.

A few guys dressed as soldiers rushed out from the first floor, their swords were already in their hands, and they were about to rush up in the next second.

Kunz also put his hand on the hilt of his sword, but this kind of enemy did not touch his social fear. He said calmly: "I don't intend to disturb any master's meal, I just teach a rude waste. Excuse me." , I will visit again in an hour."

The soldiers looked at each other, uncertain whether to strike.

"Why don't you come up to have lunch? My lord." The window on the second floor opened suddenly, and an expert man stood by the bed, saluting Kunz, "Rosey Beltran, I sincerely invite you. "

"Kuntz Monrofi." Kunz introduced himself first, and Beltyan really raised his eyebrows, looking at him with obvious surprise, "Do you still want to have lunch with me?"

"Of course! Why do you have such doubts? Didn't I personally make the invitation just now?"

"Then, I am happy to accept your invitation."

The soldiers put away their weapons and put them away. Several male and female servants walked out of the house. A maid made an invitation gesture to Kunz, and the unlucky man on the ground was dragged away by the male servant.

When they walked into the hall, another servant tried to take Kunz's sack away, but was refused.When they went up to the second floor, someone tried to stop Muchelle and Wandian, but Muchelle pushed them aside as if he didn't see them.

Rosie, who came out of the dining room to greet him, saw it, but the smile on his face remained, and the servant also withdrew.

"I've heard about you since I was in Fanvatina, Baron Monroffie. I have to admit that you are completely different from what I imagined. You are really a handsome and powerful young man." When he said "powerful" , his eyes flicked over Muchelle, "I'm still very curious about Monroe, but I heard that there are goblins gathered in your place again? No, of course I won't be afraid of those red-skinned dwarfs , but I have the mission of His Majesty the Emperor, I can't just run around for my own curiosity."

The emperor's tax collector should go to various territories to collect taxes, right?

Kunz kept smiling politely, and when the other party obviously wanted to hug him with outstretched arms, he immediately stepped back two steps.Luo Sai lowered his arms naturally, smiling without showing any embarrassment: "You are such a shy young man, nowadays, this is a very cherished and lovable character~ Come in and have a taste of my cook I've brought him here from the house of Van Vatina, and I'm sure it will satisfy your tongue."

Can shyness be classified as a character?

The author has something to say: Before Kunz arrives in Tarian City: (*^o^) I am looking forward to it

After Kunz arrived in Tarian City: =. = oh, that's it
