No longer limited to the small Moria estate.
As for the vampires, if they weren't vampires, then they might be monsters that rely on vampiric blood to replenish their energy.
Hearing Chen Jiannan's praise, Melody smiled.
"Not only is it very powerful, each piece of magic weapon is worth an army. It's a pity that not many years after defeating the blood clan, the Silver Moon Martial Emperor passed away due to the injuries left by the war. Civil strife broke out in order to snatch the throne of the Great Emperor and Huan Wu, and eventually fell apart, and a large number of Huan Wu was lost since then. From time to time, it shows up in different corners of the world."
Chen Jiannan was a little yearning when he heard this past event.
That must have been a legendary experience, and at the same time, he also became interested in Huan Wu.Thinking about whether this weapon can have miraculous effects when used against evil spirits.
"Ah! It's getting late, let's go back to the town first."
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the dim afterglow sprinkled from the cracks in the leaves and shone on the two of them. The dappled light was quite atmospheric.But at the same time, it also gave the woods a somewhat dangerous atmosphere.
"it is good."
Now that Chen Jiannan's strength has been greatly reduced, and he was stabbed by a black-haired girl, it is indeed not appropriate to stay in a dangerous place for a long time.
So with Melorea's support, the two left the woods.
However, Chen Jiannan didn't notice that Melloya winked at a certain corner when she turned her head to look around.
It wasn't until the figures of Chen Jiannan and Meloya disappeared at one end of the forest that a few fully armed guards climbed up from the bushes in that corner.
These guards were much better equipped than the team that took Chen Jiannan to the town.
They all held bows and arrows in their hands.It was obvious that he had been aiming at the battle situation just now.
It is certain that if Chen Jiannan hadn't blocked the black-haired girl's attack just now, then these guards would have shot their arrows and rushed forward to save Melorea.
"Captain, what should we do now, shall we follow?"
A guard asked to the burly man with a more complex and stylish helmet.
"No, the assassination of the rebel army has been forced back. That kid's strength is not bad. The past is the road, and basically we won't encounter any dangerous monsters. Let's go back to the town and try not to expose it, so as not to damage the lady's body." Good thing."
"Well, we get it."
This team is Melloya's personal guards, and they know the character of this little princess very well.
If she ruined her good deed, what kind of punishment would she suffer? Just thinking about it makes her shudder.
After returning to the small town, Melody sent the guards to carry Chen Jiannan back to the tent to rest, claiming to take care of the town's affairs, and stayed in the small town.
Chen Jiannan, who originally wanted to know more information, couldn't rely on Mei Luoya's side, so he had to follow his advice.
Lying on the bed, Chen Jiannan recalled everything he had experienced today, and couldn't help feeling a strong curiosity about that mysterious black-haired girl and the legendary Huanwu.
Of course, all of this has to wait for him to help Meloya retrieve the red bead in the valley.After all, people have saved my life, so how can I ignore it now that I have something to ask for.
Compared with the quietness and peace in Chen Jiannan's tent, the meeting hall in the small town was much more noisy.
A bunch of people in different costumes were arguing a lot.
The content of the quarrel is nothing more than that the further increase of taxes has exceeded their acceptable range.
The mayor smirked and allowed these people to argue and abuse, but he never let go.
At the height of the quarrel, the door of the meeting room will be pushed open.
Escorted by the personal guards, Meloya walked into the meeting hall gracefully.
"I heard that you have opinions on the new tax law promulgated by Moria Manor?"
With that said, Melody walked to the depths of the conference hall.
The mayor quickly stood up to give up his seat, and the smile on his face suddenly became sincere and brilliant.
"Mei... Princess Melodya?"
A sharp-eyed merchant instantly recognized Melloya's identity.
The others suddenly exclaimed.
They also knew that Lord Rosemoria had a daughter named Meloya, but almost none of them had seen her real face.
Even the merchant who called out Meloya's name was lucky enough to see a portrait of Meloya when he was doing business in the main city.
It is definitely a great honor for them, relatively low-status businessmen, to witness the beauty of the princess with their own eyes.
All of a sudden, the entire meeting hall became quiet and became less noisy.
Everyone seems to be worried that their behavior will leave a bad impression on Melody.
Although they are also very clear that nothing will happen to Meloya in this life.
Melodya walked slowly to the main seat and sat down, straightened her skirt, and then said sweetly.
"Well, if you have any opinions, feel free to raise them. As the princess, I will naturally listen to everyone's opinions, consider it as appropriate, and then give an answer that makes everyone happy."
Chapter 624 Meloya's True Face
"Princess Melloya is as considerate as the rumors say."
The merchants whispered praises.
Now that he had the opportunity to speak, a rough guy was the first to express his opinion.
"Then let me be blunt. In the past five years, the Moria Manor has increased taxes 14 times, an average of three times a year. The money given each time is seventeen times that of five years ago. .The money we earn is consumed in exchange, and more than half of it is paid in taxes. If it continues to rise, there will be no money to make, and we can only starve to death. We are starving to death, who will do business, who will give you these The lord pays the tax."
This is said to be reasonable and reasonable.
Melloya did not respond directly, but smiled sweetly and looked at other merchants.
"Do you also have the same opinion? If you have other ideas, why don't you say them together, so that we can solve them at one time and save trouble."
Seeing Meloya's expression, those merchants who were cautiously hiding on the sidelines began to express their thoughts first.
"I think it's too expensive to pay a sum of money every time you go in and out of the manor. For people like us who have to go back and forth four times a week, can we pay it annually or monthly?"
"Every transaction has to be charged 15.00% tax, which is really too high. It is more reasonable to change it back to [-]%."
"Actually, the carters we bring can complete the loading and unloading. We don't need to bother the workers arranged by the manor. Otherwise, the workers should be left to those who don't have enough manpower to hire them. Don't force everyone to choose to hire workers to load goods. Unloaded."
