Chapter 31: the messenger of the King.
When I arriving the village. The things appear in front of my eyes is shock me a little.
The houses are several times more than I leave here. And the people comes and go is also more than before. Not only players but there are some NPC move to our village newly. If the village is at the right place, I will not able to recognize the village at all.
The Purple Wind Chimes is hurry to finish his mission and come to the sunset city. But when she is leaving, she still thinks I am a NPC. (She doesn't know that players can also come out missions.)
I asking the village manager and know there are too many people coming into the village and many of them choose to living in the village. Because of that, the houses in the village are not enough. So he just do as it is in other village and allow the players to building houses in the village. But they still should pay 10% tax and cost 10 silver coins to buy the ground to build houses. The two builders in the village is all with premium grade. They built very fast. So there are tens of houses in our village quickly.
Now the population in our village is 82 so the builders in our village are continuous to building their houses. As for me, en, of course can't compete with them. Actually I just want to destroy the houses I have been built before. Because they are too ugly compare to the new one.
Because of the coming of so much people, there are almost 20 gold coins income and the tax income such as buying houses also gives me 20+ gold coins. It led me only have 23 debts in the village account.
I rushing to the voice transfer stage and use it to give two pieces of information to all people in the range of sunset city in 1 silver coins: " am selling many equipment in silver grades. There are knife, swords, shoes, shied The prize can talk to me face to face."
"the forgotten village is now selling good horses one gold coins for each. The one buying horse can learned skill "riding horse" for free.
Then I send message to the Tiger King and his friends. They aren't reply me. it seems that they are online for too long this mission and will sleep a long time.
Quickly, before the coming of the player from other village, there are more than ten players from our village comes to me asking to see the equipments.
Now the player above grade 30 is less than a half and most of the people above 30 cannot get a full set of the equipments in gold grade. So the equipment in silver grade is very convenient to selling. Only a few hours later the equipment I left is only three. And I got 30 more gold coins. Although because the endurable of the equipments are all not very good. So they only sells for less than 1 gold coins each, but so many gold coins in all is enough makes me satisfied.
And the horses are also sells well. At this time I suddenly hear the village manager is calling me - the messenger of the country is coming.
This messenger is a fat guys wearing a set of very good clothes. I don't know what grade is it. but the horse he ride I know is not a very good horse, just good looking.
He is vey fat and has a light face with strange smell in his face. It just reminds me one thing - the corrupt official. Yes, in the game I played before, the corrupt official is always in this face. Oh, am I so unlucky?
I say to the messenger with a bow: "welcome to our village."
The players around are all laughing, maybe it is because of they have never seen a player respect a NPC so much.
The messenger says with light tone: "Fight Against Destiny, you are pretty polite. But do you know what am I going to do here?"
"Isn't it reading the appointment from the King?"
"En, the king said to me so. But there are something different in the things the king knows and the situation here"
"What?"
"Now it seems that your contribution isn't occupy the two third of the whole contribution"
I am a little shocked but looking at his eyes I suddenly know something and slip a gold coin into his hand.
"Maybe my calculation is something wrong but your contributions is truly not enough."
I think a second and continuous give him gold coins.
When the tenth gold coins slipped into his sleeve, his face becomes smiling:"It's my fault, your contribution is enough, well, lets"
At this time he glimpses me for an eye:"You are a civilian?"
"En? I am the president of this village."
"Oh, the civilian have no right to get the territory. It's the fault of the king. It seems like I could only go back to tell it to the king."
I am worried and come closer to the messenger and say:"What should I do? Please tell me a way." Then I slip him ten gold coins again.
His face is becoming serious:"Our country have rules that the people who don't have title can't get territory. You just wait after Lv.60 and finish some mission from the king."
My heart is a little painful, but still gives him 10 coins again.
His face turns red rapidly and said to me smelling: "I can't imagine there are someone who loyal to the king so much. Looking at you want to serving for our country. I tell you a mission and to finishing the mission you can get some Feats and if you have enough feats you can get a title then the village will become your territory."
He stops a second and continuous saying:"The hidden mission about the feats is very much. But in considering your grades you have only a mission can do. You just coming to the flying eagle town and asking the town president for 'evil eagle' then he will gives you a mission."
I scold the guys who swallowed my 31 gold coins in a day in my heart and turn around and prepared to go. But the messenger called me up and asking where he live I have no choice but just bought a good house from the best builder in our village. And give it to the messenger. It cost me two coins again.
I finally put the fatty guys well in the village and look back the herders I bring to my village and I saw some complex emotions in their face. I must let them disappointed, they can never thought that the good patriarch who is their hero and save them from the hands of the devil god is nothing and must lower his head outside of the world. How can I explain to them? It's the reality?
Oh, no, no, no, it's my entire fault and I seen the territory so much. It is just some numbers in all. But having a territory is a temptation that I can't refuse. Maybe because of that I was expressing so low in front of the messenger. It's not me.
But as the result of 31 coins, I should finish the mission first.
I ask the village messenger to set up all my herder friends well in my house and leave a paper pieces in the wall then coming to the transfer matrix and press the bottom: the eagle town.
