Chapter 655: Silver Star Island

Galia and Baihuang team set foot on this frozen land, while Xin Da Gosa once again flew into the sky and circled in the clouds.
"Is this the Silver Star Island? It looks desolate," Qiao Rui said.
Bai Xiaowen has opened the map: "We crossed the Boguas Strait, and the current location is northwest of Silver Star Island, and Silver Star City is located in the hinterland of the island. According to the information, the Lord of Silver Star City 'Aldington' The rule is very harsh, officials are corrupt, gangs are rampant, and civilians need to pay high taxes, so they are very poor and can easily become slaves. "
"Slave? There should be no slavery in the world of Aaron." Li Shuyi said.
"Yinxing Island is the only territory in the northern border where slavery is legal." Bai Xiaowen said.
"It's abominable ... well, it seems that we are not liberators," Li Shuyi said with a smile. "In this way, Silver Star Island should be easier to attack. The lord named Ordington would not look at it. It looks like it's popular. "
The cold voice sounded, and Galia spoke, "No, Aldington has a strong army."
Bai Xiaowen said with a shrug: "Don't underestimate the resistance of the Vikings in the North. Aldington must have enough military power to maintain dictatorship."
"No matter how strong he is, he can't resist death." Golia's line has another tendency to be neutralized.
"Let's get acquainted with the local situation first, and wait for the undead army brought by Lich Bud to arrive." Bai Xiaowen said.
The party was moving forward while talking, and soon met a village.
Perhaps due to the high-pressure rule of Yinxing Island, this small village called "Glauber's Salt Village" is also very rundown. Most of the houses are made of clay with reeds and thatch, and there is not even a decent wooden house.
"Master Golia, wait for a while," Bai Xiaowen said. "If you want to inquire, the three of us are posing as homeless mercenaries. Your image is a bit different."
All three of Bai Xiaowen had the transfiguration of a linen robe defaulted by the spirit world rules, and there was no problem in posing as a wanderer. Goliath is not the same. The well-made armor is a high-level magic equipment, and it is transformed into a faint blue because of the infusion of death energy, exuding a cold atmosphere. Even a fool who knows nothing about it can see it. .
"My patience is limited, hurry up." Goriya replied.
The White Phoenix Team trio went all the way to Glauber's Salt Village.
Bai Xiaowen blew the door of a thatched cottage at the entrance of the village.
A panic sounded from the door: "Wait ... wait a minute!"
The doorway opened, an elderly couple with gray hair, and the three members of the White Phoenix team looked at each other, still with a frightened look on their faces.
However, after seeing the dress of the linen robes of the three Xiaowen, the elderly couple seemed relieved. The old woman murmured, "It's okay, it's not crisscross ..."
"What is a cross flower?" Li Shuyi whispered in the team channel.
"The family crest of the Ordington family, two crossed roses." Bai Xiaowen also explained on the team channel, and then tried to show a kind smile, looking at the old couple:
"Fellow man ... Well, you guys, we are mercenaries from afar. We have just disembarked and want to find a place to rest. Rest assured, we will pay as much as we can."
Bai Xiaowen's high charm value played a role. Although the old man's eyes were a little skeptical, the tone was not very bad: "Our family is not suitable for too many people, too small to sit in even ... you are mercenaries. Hey, you're in the wrong place. There's no business here. "
"We are the best mercenaries," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "There are no vicious beasts nearby, such as tigers, wolves or dragons? Is there a reward order?"
"There are beasts, but they rarely enter the village. I have never seen a dragon before," the old man sighed. "Who has the spare money to give a reward to the beast? The lord's army is more vicious than the tiger, leopard, and wolf. . "
"Silver Star Lord's army? How many are they?" Bai Xiaowen guided the topic smoothly.
"Who knows, one thousand or two thousand ... the same for us ..."
The old woman sighed, "You should go quickly. Today is the day when the tax officer goes to the countryside. This quarter's taxes should be paid again ... I don't know how many people in the village will be taken away as slaves."
"Did anyone want to resist?" Bai Xiaowen was a little confused.
"We are just defenseless civilians, how can we resist? Every time the tax officer goes to the countryside, he brings a team of crisscross soldiers," said the old man.
After hearing this news, Bai Xiaowen squinted his eyes for a moment and thought about leaving, leaving EbookFREE.me ~ Two hours later, two horsemen came to the village, followed by a small group of soldiers.
Bai Xiaowen can sense the template strength of two people who ride horses. One of them is just an ordinary template. Wearing cloth robes of public servants, it should be the so-called tax officer. The other is a heavily armed cavalry, with the strength of an elite template. Other ordinary template soldiers are following him, which has a taste of prohibition.
"Dio, how long do you have to wait for me," Gorilla said impatiently.
Desire for destruction rises in the frozen heart of Golia, the black knight who has just been reborn, desperately wants to fight and kill.
"A little more patience ... as for the reason, I have already told you, Master Golia." Bai Xiaowen said.
Golia snorted: "Your reason is not convincing ... if it wasn't for the arrival of the Lich Bud and the Undead Legion, it would take time, I wouldn't wait at all."
Bai Xiaowen smiled, just about to open his mouth to appease, and suddenly heard the noisy voice from Glauber's Village.
"It's okay, let's do it," Bai Xiaowen said after looking up.
Golia snorted and strode forward. The White Phoenix Squad followed closely.
Glauber's salt village is now a mess of porridge. Obviously, as the old couple said, there are many civilians in the village who cannot afford to pay taxes. According to the law of the Silver Star, they will be degraded to slaves and work hard in the workshop of Lord Lord Aldington-almost A dead end, the difference is nothing more than the length of time.
Dozens of impoverished civilians were with ropes. Armed crisscross soldiers were punching and kicking at the families of these "quasi-slaves" to separate them.
"Get out of here, get out of here!" The tax official said loudly. "People who can't afford the taxes are sold into slavery. This is the law!"
