Overgod Ascension - 550. Chapter 550
Wu Ming carefully looked at the silver tale on his hand.
The silver coin itself is shiny, and because of improper storage for a period of time, it has been slightly covered with a layer of black grime, and there are traces of grinding on the edge, making it not very symmetrical.
In the middle of the silver coin, there is a head portrait, which is the rumored portrait of Tale the Conqueror. He once unified the entire Fengying Plain and expanded outward to establish a kingdom, the purest blue blood.
This is also the largest unit of currency that William can have.
As for Jin Delong above, he probably only dared to think about it in his dreams.
“I can also be regarded as a disciple…”
Wu Ming looked around and sighed very speechlessly.
Before you know it, the night is already deep.
A black shadow ran out of William’s cabin, dodged the lookout arrow tower extremely deftly, and slipped out of the town from the corner.
“Hunting is so troublesome, it’s really…”
Wu Ming was running in the shadows while thinking helplessly.
His body is still an ordinary person, he needs salt and medicine, and he can’t live a life of rumoring and drinking blood.
But it’s not so easy to get ahead in a small town, even if it’s just a little bit out of the way.
The tax officer who brandishes the tax bill will teach you to re-behave in minutes.
Even if he hunts, he can make a clever name, collect a bunch of hunter tax, slaughter tax and so on. For officials, this is almost instinct, because most of the income will fall into his own pocket.
As for the law?
Feel sorry! The entire baronian, except for the self-cultivation land of the freedmen, all belong to the baron himself. The same is true for the cultivated land, so is the jungle and the prey!
What the baron said is the law! As a tax officer, you have the right to interpret the law at will!
Those civilians who don’t even know the words, how can they have the courage to fight against the official?
In the case of class inequality, how about even if you master the truth?
It’s like Lorian, even if he hunts some prey casually, the sheriff and tax officer will treat it as if they haven’t seen anything, but William just can’t!
The more ignorant and backward the world is, the more terrifying the restrictions on the lower classes!
In the eyes of the baronial gang of’adults’, they could hardly wish that all the people would become serfs and livestock that only knew how to work.
“I am a bit sensitive now… I don’t have a backstage, so it’s better to keep a low profile…”
After walking for more than half an hour, Wu Ming finally came to his destination, a dense jungle.
There are usually some small animals here, which is a paradise for hunters in the small town. Of course, it is very dangerous if you go deeper, and you may encounter wild people and cannibals.
“The road for civilians in this world is too narrow. They must become aristocrats! Only then can they have a chance to display their ambitions!”
Wu Ming’s eyes flickered: “Of course…this road is also very difficult. First of all, you have to master your strength! The most basic thing is to maintain the body! This must eat salt and meat!”
The salt used by civilians in this world, it is true that Wu Ming can only buy it and refine it again for his own consumption.
As for selling? patent? Profiteering?
That was too much thinking. Before he became a nobleman and had his own territory, Wu Ming would not have made this idea at all.
If he could take the opportunity to dedicate this little technique to a baron or other nobleman, he would already think it would be quite a bargain as a rank of advancement.
Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
The jungle at night is quite quiet, with the smell of grass coming from the breeze and the sounds of unknown birds.
Wu Ming focused all his attention on the five senses, and the keen perception brought by the possession of the true spirit made him extremely capable in this respect, even some excellent scouts were incomparable to the wanderers.
He settled gently, without making a sound, most of his figure was hidden in the darkness, as if sneaking.
Snapped!
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows and moved a simple slingshot in his hand. A stone roared and sank into the grass, screaming in surprise.
“Gray feather turtledove?”
He opened the grass and saw a dove-like body with gray feathers, a little blue bird on the back and neck, and a circle of feathers around it.
“I have gained…”
Wu Ming looked at the jungle as if he was looking at an undeveloped treasure.
Half an hour later, on the edge of the stream.
A pile of gray feathers and viscera were gathered up and buried carefully.
The original turtledoves were washed and stripped, wrapped in a layer of leaves, and then coated with mud, and slowly simmered in the fire.
This is the local method of beggar chicken, and it is just right to use it for emergency when there is no pot.
After the meat was cooked, Wu Ming opened the fire, took out six or seven mud balls, and smashed the outer shell. A layer of meaty aroma suddenly overflowed, making people salivate.
“good……”
Although the seasoning is only salt, the taste is still very delicious, smooth and not greasy. With a light shake, the bird meat and the skeleton will naturally separate, with a peculiar fragrance.
After eating five or six turtledoves in a row, Wu Ming got up, touched his stomach, and sighed with satisfaction.
“The former William was impoverished and he seldom ate meat. Although farming has built up his muscles, it is the result of consuming potential and life span. At this time, he should slowly nourish…”
After eating and drinking, he began to collect specimens of various plants and animals in the jungle.
As a generation of heavenly immortals, masters of alchemy, simple medicine blending is naturally difficult for him. As long as he is familiar with the medicinal properties of the universe, he can naturally configure the most basic medicine.
Wu Ming shuddered at the thought of the treatment by the doctor in the small town who was a part-time scholar.
The healer in William’s mind only knew four cures: vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding, and anesthesia with devil flower…
Can imagine how the pit!
Basically, even if other people in the town encounter diseases, most of them are resisting themselves. Of course, Wu Ming guessed that there is another reason, that is, they don’t have enough money…
“Start from the beginning, from the most basic point, to understand the rules of the universe…”
“Also, exercise this body, and at the same time look for extraordinary powers, which are clues to the power rules of this universe…”
Wu Ming silently made plans for himself in the future.
Anyway, his body has a long life, and this matter is not in a hurry at all, and he can take care of it slowly.
…
Spring goes and autumn comes.
Soon, several months passed.
Large flakes of oatmeal outside the town were harvested, and the golden wheat ears were blown by the breeze, spreading like waves, bringing the joy of harvest.
At this time, the only mill in the town began to work day and night, and the town’s tax officer stared meticulously next to it.
He was collecting mill taxes. According to the law of the territory, each citizen used the mill once, and one-tenth of the wheat flour must be used as a tax to enter the baron’s pocket, which is a big source of money.
The usually silent mill is full of hustle and bustle at this time.
In William’s memory, this place in his free time is the best place to cheat for all the wild ducks in the town. I don’t know how many boys and girls have become men and women here.
Of course, Wu Ming would not consider these at all at this time.
After storing his gains, he pulled out the broken iron sword in front of his cabin and began to train meticulously.
“Front stab!”
“Strike!”
“Spin!”
“Block!”
…
He sweats like rain, eats a full meal every day, and piles up a lot of nutrients. He has a taller and taller height, strong and strong muscles, and his eyes are shining. It is not the previous weakness of overdrawn vitality, but from the bones. Come out strong.
William, who is full of masculine charm, naturally attracted a lot of attention.
At least Wu Ming felt that when he walked on the street, he received more’eye-catching gifts’, and Sofia from Aunt Luoya’s house often came to him with excuses.
“Hi! William!”
Just as Wu Ming had practiced his modified set of swordsmanship, the two teenagers came over excitedly to say hello, and applauded involuntarily.
“It’s amazing… can I touch it?”
A boy with freckles on his face swallowed his mouth and looked at the broken sword in Wu Ming’s hand and said with excitement.
“Of course you can, Little Ava, but you have to pay attention, it is very heavy and sharp, and it will hurt people if you are not careful!”
Wu Ming handed the hilt to Ava’s hand, and another boy immediately showed envy on his face.
“Well, little Allen, if you like, you can also try…”
He touched Allen’s little head, watched the two men arguing in excitement, and turned around: “Good day, instructor Lorian!”
His real guest stood outside the fence, with a look of wonder on his face: “William…your swordsmanship…”
Wu Ming scratched his head: “This is a bit of a routine I explored by myself. How do the instructors feel?”
At this time, he was like a young man who was embarrassed.
“very good……”
Lorian was speechless.
Although the key to Wu Ming’s swordsmanship is breathing coordination and groping to exercise his body’s muscles, the several ways of exerting force are also extremely perfect, which amazes the experienced Luolian.
“You have a talent as a fighter!”
He applauded: “Just need an opportunity! It’s coming!”
“I ask the instructor for a drink!”
Wu Ming smiled slightly, both of them knew what the other was talking about.
After a while, at Aunt Luoya’s hotel, Wu Ming ordered beer and barbecue, sat opposite Luolian, eating and drinking slowly.
Even if the wealth is not revealed, but once or twice like this, it is Lorian again, and no one will doubt it.
“Feel sorry……”
Lorian spoke first.
“If it was for the last time, then you don’t have to be like that… After all, the end of the war is a good thing for us!”
Wu Ming smiled.
This is naturally a follow-up to the last war.
Viscount Garcia is a wise and brave noble. He has tested the bottom line of the princes of the Fengying Plain. He did not increase the war, but wisely chose modest.
The war could not be fought, and a large number of prisoners of war were released after receiving the ransom. The promise that Lorian had not promised before naturally fell through.
