The complexion of mayor bitter and astringent several points, said: „Guarded the member dead similarly, these have not died...... I noticed that many have stood in your team, therefore here will not have to dare to affront your person again.” 镇长的脸色苦涩了几分,说:“守卫队员已经死得差不多了,那些没死的……我看到很多已经站在您的队伍中了,所以这里不会再有敢于冒犯您的人。” „Hope so.” Richard nodded, the hand one wields in the front, said: „We come from Foreign Plane, but is not anything slaughters and destruction Devil. Do not be deceived by that small and weak God of Valor again, we have Gods to stand in similarly behind, and is more formidable! Flowsand!” “希望如此。”李察点了点头,手在前方一挥,说:“我们从异位面而来,但绝不是什么杀戮和毁灭的魔鬼。不要再被那个弱小的勇气之神所欺骗,我们同样有诸神站在身后,而且更加强大！流砂！” Flowsand goes forward accordingly, opens Book of Time in hand, the Divine Spell blessing fell on the body of senior mayor together. A mayor face is shocking, but townspeoples clearly noticed that a bright ray fell on the mayor. That ray of light glow is very radiant, bright and warm, although has the time flows the vicissitudes to feel, but also fills to live to extinguish the restless full of vitality, is making clear to the True God camp, is not dark and evil. The blessing technique is only simple assistance Divine Spell, at all like various treatments or the curses is not the core of Divine Spell system. However in low-order Divine Spell, its light effect is actually most striking bright. 流砂应声上前,翻开手中的时光之书,一道神术祝福就落在了老镇长的身上。镇长一脸震惊,而镇民们则都清晰地看到一道灿烂的光芒落在了镇长身上。那道光芒无比璀璨、光明而温暖,虽然有着时光流淌般的沧桑感觉,但也充满生灭不息的勃勃生机,昭示着真神的阵营,绝非黑暗与邪恶。祝福术仅是一个简单的辅助神术,根本不象各类治疗或是诅咒那样是神术体系的核心。但是在低阶神术中,它的光影效果却是最醒目灿烂的。 Sees with one's own eyes the Divine Spell effect, the townspeoples is in a tumult immediately. 亲眼看到了神术效果,镇民们立刻骚动起来。 Richard seized the opportunity to say loudly: Goal that „we arrive, is follows the direction and honor of True God! Therefore from now on, makes Van is my territory. I, Richard Archeron, is this place with your feudal lords, Knight tall Yue and Baron in all industries of this place, is received by me.” 李察抓紧时机大声说:“我们到来的目的,是追随真神的指引和荣光！所以从现在开始,约凡镇就是我的领地。我,李察.阿克蒙德,就是此地和你们的领主,高约爵士和佛萨男爵在此地的一切产业,都由我来接收。” Richard manifesto, the townspeoples instead relax. Going on an expedition between aristocrats occurred frequently, but in them mostly is the generation housing local lead(er) people, few parts have the freeman of craftsmanship. No matter who comes to work as the feudal lord, they will be get the people, the life not to have anything to change, but will pay taxes the multi- points little. However several fights, many Warrior die in the Richard subordinate, the especially thoses militiaman, their members of the same family basically are the natives, naturally will be hostile to Richard. This kind the hatred of by the deep hatred being constituted is very difficult to melt, Richard is very clear, he does not want to melt, present matter, so long as uses the frightened awe into submission submissive they to be good. 李察宣言一出,镇民们反而放松下来。贵族间的征战是经常发生的,而他们中大多是世代居住本地的领民,少部分是有手艺的自由民。不管谁来当领主,他们都是领民,生活都不会有什么变化,只是交税多点少点而已。不过前后几场战斗,很多战士都死在李察手下,尤其是那些民兵,他们的亲族基本都是本地人,自然会对李察仇视。这类由血仇构成的仇恨很难化解,李察很清楚,他也不想去化解,眼前的事,只要用恐惧慑服他们就好。 The mayor asked a key question: „Sir Richard, you are planned permanent turns into your territory here?” 镇长问出了一个关键问题:“李察大人,您是打算永久性的把这里变成您的领地吗？” Richard looked at senior mayor one eyes, said meaningfully: „Naturally! However I have the station, will leave immediately. When I, did not do here look your. When I come back again, do not make me disappointedly good. Now, must give tall Yue the tax revenue to hand over you!” 李察看了老镇长一眼,意味深长地说:“当然！不过我另有驻地,马上就会离开。在我不在这里的时候,怎么做就看你的了。当我再回来的时候,别让我失望就好。现在,把你们原本要交给高约的税收都交上来吧！” The mayor the face, is just wanting to explain that painstakingly several have not arrived at the tradition to collect taxes now. In his behind townspeople has suddenly resounded an incisive call: „Your these Foreign Plane Demon, tumble out our world!” 镇长苦着脸,正想解释几句现在还没有到传统收税的时候。他身后的镇民中突然响起了一声尖锐的呐喊:“你们这些异位面的恶魔,滚出我们的世界！” A young youth was screaming, brandished is not knowing the short-sword where looked, fired into Richard! 一个十几岁的少年尖叫着,挥舞着不知从哪里找来的短剑,冲向李察！ „Child, comes back!” The youth behind run a middle-aged robust man, the vigorous and healthy body and swarthy flesh show of force is good. He wants to prevent the youth, was actually late one step. “孩子,回来！”少年身后跟着跑出一个中年壮汉,健壮的身体和黝黑的肌肤显示力量不俗。他想要阻止少年,可是却迟了一步。 „For God of Valor!” Youth loud shout, is rising with a spring, plunges Richard! “为了勇气之神！”少年高叫着,一跃而起,扑向李察！ However his body in airborne lost the strength suddenly, the halfway fell on the ground, twitched several, again was also motionless. From the position of his back heart, the careful wound appears together slowly, the blood is gushing out from the wound slowly, clothes that incarnadine he has carried on the back. 然而他的身体在空中忽然失去了力量,半途就摔在地上,抽搐了几下,就再也不动了。从他后背心脏的位置,一道细细的伤口缓缓出现,血正慢慢从伤口里涌出,染红了他背上的衣服。 Waterflower stands in the original position, as if has not moved, but Shepherd of Eternal Rest does not know when comes out of the sheath, this moment drop of blood is dropping from the knife point, in addition, on the cutting edge was clean as if just had polished, has not left slightly the trace. 水花站在原处,似乎从来没有动过,只是永眠指引者不知何时出鞘,此刻一滴鲜血正从刀尖上滴落,除此之外,锋刃上干净得似乎刚打磨过,没有留下丝毫痕迹。 „Son! I and you spelled!” Robust man both eyes has covered entirely the blood thread, wields the gigantic fist, the stride fires into Richard! “儿子！我和你们拼了！”壮汉双眼布满了血丝,挥动硕大的拳头,大步冲向李察！ The young girls as if moved, then originally already clean on the Shepherd of Eternal Rest knife point the drop of blood tumbles. 少女似乎又动了一下,然后本已干干净净了的永眠指引者刀锋上又有一滴鲜血滚落。 The guys struggled to forward two steps, fell down before the mayor foot. The blood has soaked quickly the boots bottom of mayor. 大汉挣扎又向前走了两步,才一头栽倒在镇长脚边。血很快就浸湿了镇长的靴底。 Richard as if has not seen two corpses that adds newly, but said to the mayor lightly: „Saw? I never make the empty threat, my patience and dignity cannot be defied. I defer to aristocrat's traditional management, but you , if not willing to become my lead(er) people, but must become my enemy, that is you are compelling me to turn into Devil. Devil does not need the main point people.” 李察仿佛没看见新添的两具尸体,只是淡淡地对镇长说:“看到了吗？我从来不做空洞的威胁,我的耐心和尊严也不容挑衅。我只是依照贵族的传统办事,但你们如果不愿意成为我的领民,而一定要成为我的敌人,那就是你们在逼我变成魔鬼。魔鬼不需要领民。” „I understood. The Sir you please wait a bit, my this gives you tax revenue that the next quarter should give.” The mayor the face, is turning back own small building painstakingly. “我明白了。大人您请稍等,我这就把下一季应缴的税收交给您。”镇长苦着脸,走回自己的小楼。 A moment later, Richard brings to make the Van next quarter tax revenue: 100 gold coins, two Demon Beast furs and two box of books, left the small town. These two box of books are make become the book writing that in Van all can find, various types have, they arrived at the tax revenues of 300 gold coins sufficiently. In mayor opinion, these put together only the books of value 10-20 gold coins to arrive at 300 gold coins sufficiently, naturally is a good deed. 片刻之后,李察带着约凡镇下一季的税收:100个金币、两张魔兽毛皮和两箱书籍,离开了小镇。这两箱书是约凡镇上所有能够找到的成册文字,各种类型都有,它们充抵了300金币的税收。在镇长看来,这些加在一起仅值一二十金币的书籍能够充抵300金币,自然是件好事。 30 surrendered soldiers also follow him to leave, in the entire collecting taxes process, the gaze that they receive are even more than Richard. Person who almost every surrendered soldier is making Van to have knowing well, after all the territory so is big, dozens years, attached the lead(er) people in territory has early formed the intriguing relations. 30个降兵也跟随着他离开,在整个收税过程中,他们所收到的注视甚至比李察还要多。几乎每个降兵在约凡镇都有熟识的人,毕竟领地就那么大,几十年的时间,附属于领地的领民们早都形成了错综复杂的关系。 In the hand dyed the surrendered soldier of blood hence not to have the escape route, has to follow Richard to continue to fight. Compares these to dare to firing into the Richard townspeople, they have actually extinguished the will of revolt. Has seen the surrendered soldiers of Ogre and rapid beast of prey, knows that all revolts are the futile efforts. 手上染了血的降兵至此已经没有退路,不得不跟随李察继续战斗下去。相比那些敢向冲向李察的镇民,他们却已熄灭了反抗的意志。看到过食人魔和迅猛兽的降兵们,知道所有的反抗都是徒劳的。 To next noon, the Baron reinforcements arrive to make Van. This is a several hundred people of army, by army that the scale goes far beyond Knight Min Tai, however leads this army is actually only three Sealed Knight, in the army surpasses the Level 5 veteran also to have ten. It can be said that this by army battle efficiency far inferior Min Tai eliminated that in fact quantity piles, this is also less than 20 kilometers road, they actually walked the entire day of reason. 一直到第二天中午,男爵的援军才抵达约凡镇。这是一支数百人的军队,论规模远远超过敏泰爵士的部队,然而率领这支军队的却只是三个受封骑士,部队中超过五级的老兵也只有十来个。可以说,这支靠数量堆起来的军队战斗力实际上远不及敏泰被消灭的那支,这也是不到20公里的路,他们却走了整整一天的原因。 In Baron sent out to get more than half army, how normally should lead by a knight, when tall Yue is missing, after the news that sensitive Taihe Uncle Hu died in battle feeds , the other two knights suddenly fell ill, it is said the bed, naturally cannot come out to lead troops to jolt. Baron cross 50 years old, the Level 8 strength to the battlefield is High Level some cannon fodders, is more impossible to act to command troops. Therefore finally, three usually queered quite many Sealed Knight to be pushed up the firing line. 男爵已经出动了领内过半的军队,按说怎么都该由一位爵士领军,可是当高约失踪,敏泰和胡伯战死的消息传回之后,余下的两位爵士就突然病倒,据说连床都下不了,自然更不能出来带兵颠簸。男爵自己已经过了50岁,八级的战力到了战场上就是一个高级些的炮灰,更不可能出面领兵。所以最终,三个平时得罪人比较多的受封骑士被推上了火线。 After the advanced post squad confirmed repeatedly intruder left makes Van, the army bang advances the small town, received this territory. 在前哨小队反复确认了入侵者们已经离开约凡镇后,大军才轰轰隆隆地开进小镇,重新接收了这块领地。 After clarifying Richard here has made anything, three Sealed Knight fly into a rage, recognized that the mayors as well as the townspeoples have to collude with the suspicion of intruder. After whipping, seizing and threatening, Sealed Knight obtained one two times in the tax money that Richard collects, to do to make Van to prove one are pure, returns to the Barony price. Naturally, before them, is impossible to exist with books east Xichong arrives at the tax money. 弄清楚李察都在这里做过些什么之后,三位受封骑士都勃然大怒,认定镇长以及镇民们有勾结入侵者的嫌疑。在鞭打、抓捕和威胁后,受封骑士们得到了一份两倍于李察所收取的税金,以作约凡镇证明自己清白,重新回归男爵领的代价。当然,在他们面前,是不可能存在用书藉这种东西充抵税金的。 In town slightly wealthy resident, so long as cannot point out enough has the members of the same family backer of influence, was looted. 镇上稍微富裕些的居民,只要举不出足够有势力的亲族靠山,也都被洗劫了一遍。 Meanwhile, but also was detained is making the adventurers in Van also to be grasped most probably, these several adventurers were regarded as the accomplices who assisted the intruder to battle, is the proof of this army line of military exploits. In seizing the process of adventurer, spontaneous generation some military conflicts, and died several people. In the quantity occupies in front of the overwhelming superiority regular army, the adventurer who rises spiritedly to revolt against only runs away finally several. 同时,还滞留在约凡镇的冒险者们也被抓了大半,这十几个冒险者被视为协助入侵者作战的帮凶,也将是这支部队此行军功的证明。在抓捕冒险者的过程中,自然发生了一些武装冲突,并且死了几个人。但是在数量占据绝对优势的正规军面前,奋起反抗的冒险者最终只逃出去几个。 In three Sealed Knight eyes, the adventurers of unknown origin do not get the people, is not the freeman, killed has also killed, best object who arrived at the military exploit sufficiently, who can guarantee them is not the guide of intruder? 在三名受封骑士的眼中,来历不明的冒险者们即不是领民,又不是自由民,杀了也就杀了,正是充抵军功的最佳对象,谁能担保他们不是入侵者的带路人呢？ As for making Van, that is the territory of Knight tall Yue, now high not only has been missing, even/including his wife and children together were plundered by the intruder. If seeks for a knight successor in the collateral branch blood relation of Knight tall Yue again is the long and complex struggle, even Baron can find some excuses to take back this manor. In this case, makes Van is together the meat of without owner, everyone can come to nip one, in any case is not their territories, naturally is far from the heart pain. As for the tax money of so-called capturing, most parts branch enters Sealed Knight as well as several commanding troops military officers the pockets of as the soldier's rations and pay of this motion, the small part turns to Baron. 至于约凡镇,那是高约爵士的领地,现在高约本人不但失踪了,连他的妻子和子女都被入侵者一起掠走。如果在高约爵士的旁系血亲中再寻找一个爵士继承人将是漫长而复杂的斗争,甚至佛萨男爵都可以找些理由收回这块封地。在这种情况下,约凡镇就是一块无主的肉,谁都能够过来咬上一口,反正也不是他们的领地,自然谈不上心痛。至于所谓收缴的税金,大部分会作为这次行动的军饷进入受封骑士以及几个领兵军官的口袋,小部分则上缴给男爵。 Approximately Van that thoroughly looted, now how the townspeoples link passed this to be a problem in the winter. Adventurer from intercourse, mercenary soldier, traveler and caravan their main income, but after this disturbance, the adventurers will not come Barony in a short time. But three Sealed Knight who will care about the life of townspeoples? It is not their territories, that has been missing the responsibility of Knight tall Yue. 被彻底洗劫的约凡镇,现在镇民们连如何度过这个冬天都成了问题。他们主要的收入来自往来的冒险者、佣兵、旅人和商队,而在这场风波后,冒险者们短时间内再不会来男爵领了。可是三位受封骑士谁会关心镇民们的死活？又不是他们的领地,那是失踪了的高约爵士的责任。 Such that all that has, such as Richard expects. 所发生的一切,都如李察所预料的那样。
