Lord of the People: a Hundredfold Increase From the Undead - Chapter 543 , harsh bone tax

The next day, early in the morning.

The city of Purul was still shrouded in the drowsiness before dawn.

Snowflakes fell from the sky, and the city was silent.

A dirty corner.

On the snow-covered ground, a golden magic circle quickly traveled.

When the magic circle was completed, the light of the magic circle dimmed, and several figures appeared at the position of the magic circle.

"Ah, ghost, ghost!"

The beggar curled up in the corner was attracted by the scene in front of him.

Rubbing his eyes, he looked at the sudden appearance of several people, and let out an exclamation.

He turned around and ran to the other end of the alley.

In his mouth, he kept shouting ghosts and ghosts.

There were five people standing on the snow, tall and burly, wearing gray leather cloaks.

Through the cloak, the armor and weapons inside can be seen.

Watching the beggar shouting and walking away.

Nearby residents began to curse and lit candles.

One of them said, "Come on, let's get out of here, don't attract the attention of others."

The five nodded and left in the distance.

After walking a distance, one of them said, "Captain Buckle, what's the next plan?"

This five-person team is the investigation team sent by Silver Wing City.

The original plan was 10 people, but in order to narrow the mission target, it was directly reduced to five people.

Three Temple of Justice, Two Church.

The Hall of Justice was led by Bakr, and the leader of the church was Saint Xu Haide.

Buckle took out a green-haired parrot from his arms and put it on his shoulder, and said, "When it's dawn, reserve a few rooms in the hotel, and then go directly to the north to investigate the undead."

"Catch the thief, don't run!" The parrot shouted as soon as he came out.

Ka Ka Ka!

From the surrounding residents, there was a loud noise again, shouting where there were thieves.

Buckle grabbed the parrot's beak. "Let's go, another place."

Several people went to several places.

At last it was dawn.

The silent city seemed to come to life in an instant, and pedestrians began to appear on the streets.

Workers, open shops.

The city is noisy.

Rose Tavern.

The only shop that looks clean and provides accommodation and food.

Pushing open the door, behind the bar is a middle-aged man with a bloated body.

"Is there a room?" Buckle stepped forward and asked the boss.

The boss looked up and looked at the four people not far away.

"Yes, how many rooms do you want?"

"Three rooms, five days!" Buckle glanced at the price list on the side and paid the corresponding price directly.

"Okay." The boss, after receiving the money, handed them a wooden sign with the room number written on it.

Buck took it and ordered breakfast for five more.

After a simple bite, a few people turned around and left the store.

They just walked on their front feet.

The boss sneaked out and came to the 'Lao De Shuang' hot pot restaurant opposite.

…

The investigation team of Silver Wing City.

Wandered around town.

This is not a big, even a small border city.

It seems to be developing well.

It can be seen everywhere, people busy with various jobs, and the shouting beggar last night also appeared in the work team.

Several people went out along the north gate, stepping on the snow-covered ground.

Start heading north.

Saint Xu Haide, walking in the middle of the team.

Holding the Book of Lords in his hand, he looked at the map he generated above.

As you walk, identify the direction.

The world is full of silver and white, and without a map in hand, it is really difficult to determine whether you are in the right direction.

until noon.

They finally saw a river whose surface was frozen.

On the other side of the river, a tall fortress was built.

"This is the dividing line between humans and orcs, and the area on the opposite side belongs to orcs." Buckle looked at the closed fortress and said.

Xu Haide frowned, how is this different from the information he got.

What about the hordes of undead to the north?

Could it be that snow and bones are the same color, and they didn't see it?

"Captain Barker, will there be undead in this orc area?" Xu Haide said softly.

Buckle glanced at the tall city wall.

He said to his subordinate, "Go and call the door."

A subordinate nodded, stepped forward and shouted loudly: "We are the team of Silver Wing City, which adult's fortress is here."

The sound traveled far in the open area.

Soon, horns appeared on the city wall, and then the head of the tauren stuck out.

Even if it was snowing heavily, these tauren had bare arms, revealing red and shiny skin.

"Who are you?" A tauren's dull voice came from above the city wall.

Xu Haide immediately stepped forward and showed a friendly smile, "We are from Silver Wing City, we want to pass the fortress, go over..."

"Go away, don't disturb our sleep." The tauren suddenly interrupted them.

Xu Haide's smile froze, and the rest of the people behind him were stunned.

In Silver Wing City, whether it is the Hall of Justice or the Church, they are all characters walking sideways in the city.

People in Niu, seeing people from both sides, should respectfully call out an adult.

When have you been so angry.

As soon as he spoke, he was scolded.

"It's a bit too much for you to say that. We just have some things, just take a look at it." Xu Haide smiled and said loudly.

The tauren didn't care about that at all.

Still shouting loudly: "Stay in your own territory, don't come to our side."

"You..." Xu Haide just wanted to take a step forward and continue the theory.

You can see the bows and arrows sticking out of the wall, and they have to withdraw their footsteps.

He could only scold in a low voice, a rude humanoid beast.

Buckle looked at the situation and saw that the fortress could not be passed, so he said: "Let's go, let's walk along the river and see if we can pass the rest of the place."

Xu Haide nodded, took his own people, and followed Buckle along the river to the east.

Just a few people walked, but their faces became more and more ugly.

Even if it is outside the scope of the fortress.

On the other side of the river, there is still a group of tauren, walking with them.

His eyes were fixed on them.

Just like looking at a thief.

They go, the tauren goes, they stop to eat, and the tauren stops.

What the heck….

Just to prevent them from walking through this river, more than a dozen pairs of bull's eyes stared at them with wide eyes.

It seems that if you don't stare for a moment, these people will steal some treasures from the orcs.

Time passed little by little.

Until the afternoon, they still had nothing to gain.

Not to mention seeing skeletons, not even beasts.

On the contrary, the Tauren stared all the way.

It hurts my heart.

It's like eating flies.

"Let's go, let's go back!" Barker said helplessly.

Several people nodded, turned around and started walking back until they left.

Looking back, the tauren was still standing there.

A worried look.

"Those tauren, you have a sick mind!" Someone scolded.

"It feels like some are aimed at humans, and we may have come at the wrong time." Buckle said.

"It's been a busy day."

Several people babbled in their mouths and accelerated their steps to return.

…

Go back to the Rose Tavern.

Several people's faces were very ugly.

After this day, not to mention the cold, the information is not obtained at all.

Moreover, in the position of the border fortress, it is not lightly popular with the bull's head.

I don't understand at all with them.

They were just going to investigate some things in the past. Not only did those tauren not let them go, they also stared at them as if they were prisoners.

The two teams were walking across a river.

The tauren made some provocative sounds from time to time.

boom!

Xu Haide slammed his fist on the table and scolded: "Those **** beasts are doing it on purpose, they are obviously blocking us and don't plan to let us pass."

Regarding the matter of the undead in the north, Xu Haide has always advocated investigation.

This is also his chance to compete for the position of archbishop.

Now that he finally had the opportunity to investigate, he came here with absolute confidence.

However, it was blocked by those tauren.

"Don't worry, we still have time, understand that we should buy a few horses and go straight to avoid those tauren people." Buckle suggested.

There is a living fortress so close, it can be said that the possibility of undead existence is very low.

But this time their task is to investigate the matter of the undead. Even if there is speculation in their hearts, they must investigate carefully.

"Okay, let's leave early tomorrow."

Barker thought for a while and said, "No, leave two people in the city to inquire about the information, and the rest of the people go out of the city to continue to look for the movements of the undead."

"Okay, that's it."

After a few people discussed the countermeasures, they started to eat.

The owner of the bar next to him was wiping the table while thinking.

…

The next day, early in the morning.

Xu Haide frowned and walked back.

Buckle looked at his expression and asked, "What's going on?"

Xu Haide said suspiciously: "Yesterday, I saw a stable for sale of horses, but it was gone this morning, and they were all sold out."

"Who bought it, so coincidentally?"

"The boss said that it was bought by a caravan. He said that all the horses in the caravan died of illness. They urgently needed horses to transport the goods, and all the horses in the city were bought." Xu Haide said.

Another person from the church on the side said, "Otherwise, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to borrow a few horses. No matter what the City Lord's Mansion is like, there will be horses."

"No, our mission is to be carried out secretly, and we cannot let the people here know that we are here." Barker immediately denied the answer.

At this time, the owner of the tavern came over.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Oh, how many adults are going out?"

"Yeah, does the boss know where to buy a horse for the road?" Buckle asked.

The boss said, "Isn't the stable at the east gate for sale?"

"It's sold out there, is there any other place to buy it?"

"Is it sold? It's not easy to buy. Now the city is strictly controlled. Except for the stables in the east, it is not allowed to sell horses in private." The boss said.

"Yes, so it is."

"Where do you want to go? No, I'll arrange a guide for you. If you go by his carriage, the price is a bit expensive."

A few people's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Thought that's a good note, these guides know what's going on here.

At that time, you can also ask if there are any dead souls.

A few people exchanged in a low voice, and immediately agreed, "Okay, boss, please help us arrange, money is not a problem."

"Okay, where are you going?"

"We want to go to the north, the orc area."

"Oh, the orc area is not safe, I need to ask carefully, if anyone is willing to go, it's hard to say." The boss wiped the sackcloth on his hand, "Well, I'll give you news in the afternoon, if possible, tomorrow Let him take you there in the morning."

"Can."

The boss leaves.

After a few discussions, they went out of the city and continued to walk north on foot.

Go see the situation.

…

the other side.

At this time, Fang Hao also just got up.

After washing up, he left the room.

Just walked down the stairs.

Then I saw the gold-eating queen-Amanda, who was already sitting in the lobby on the first floor waiting.

Undead, do not need sleep and rest, time is always sufficient.

She just held the scepter in her hand and looked forward silently.

Gives a sense of loneliness.

Hearing the sound of going downstairs, Amanda looked up.

"Master Fang Hao!" Amanda stood up and saluted.

Fang Hao felt that she was extraordinarily polite today.

"Morning, Amanda."

"Good morning, my lord."

Fang Hao walked down and sat down beside Amanda.

"Amanda, is something wrong?"

Amanda said directly: "Duojin, I brought back the news of the 'Otis Cemetery' last night."

Dokin is captain of the Skeleton Merchant.

Amanda was very concerned about the current situation of the 'Enrielle Kingdom'.

Fang Hao asked Duojin to inquire about the situation there through the business alliance transaction.

It seems that some valuable information has now been obtained.

Otherwise, Amanda would not have come directly to find herself.

"How is the situation over there?" Fang Hao poured himself a glass of water.

"As I guessed, the former kingdom of Henriel no longer exists, Odis treats ordinary people as slaves, and the strict bone tax makes ordinary creatures less than 30 years old, and they will be forcibly transformed. Become an undead soldier and join the army," Amanda said.

Fang Hao frowned.

He knew about the bone tax.

It's a little scary to live beyond 30.

A person has just become an adult, and he has not lived to understand for a few years, and he is about to be transformed into a skeleton.

"Is the news accurate?" Fang Hao had some doubts.

"The news brought back by the skeleton merchant, and Duojin also inquired with the goblins in the business alliance to determine the reliability of the news."

Good guy, Otis, the king of bones, is really a ruthless man. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Those who live on his side can't even live past the age of 30.

But Fang Hao was also curious as to why Otis was so anxious to convert his arms.

The living and the undead, although there have been small frictions for so many years, they have not reached the point of a power war.

Does he have any plans?

With such a harsh bone tax and hoarding troops, he must have a war plan.

"What do you mean? Amanda." Fang Hao looked at Amanda.

"I want to take back the former territory and establish a new kingdom of Anglier, my lord, I hope you can help me and save the descendants of the people of Anglier."

As Amanda said, she got down on one knee, and her tone was sincere.
