Chapter 48: Expose corrupt officer
The city president is sitting at the room, staring at me as though he can see it through. It makes me feel really anxious.
He suddenly says that:"when your message was arrive me, the messenger is just reporting the things of yours to the King. He says that the condition of yours was not arriving the need totally. What's worse, you bribe him, and refuse to give horses to the King. So the King decides to put you in jail."
I become depressed. Oh but it is all my fault. Who can I blame to?
"At that time, I receive the message and said it to King. Then he decides to ask it to the God through the main priest. And the King know the whole things about how is it happened. And base on that King think you truly commit those crime. "the city president continuous his talking.
Oh, that's true, refuse to give horse to the King, bribe, that's all the things that I have done. The messenger only gives me a impression of he want money rather than act straightly. How cunning he is.
"But as the saying of the Gods, you have triggered a hidden mission: 'reveal corrupt officer'."
"Hidden mission?" I am confused.
"Based on the saying of yours and Gods' the King do a carefully research on the messenger and finally find the messenger truly have a large amount of bribery money. And our king confiscated all the property of the messenger and exiled him. And you, because of the credit of revealing, reward 400 Feats and 10 justices. Add your feats up and it is above 500 and arrive the lowest need of reward an honor. So you become the Quasi in 3rd grade. The forgotten village becomes your territory automatically. "
Quasi is the lowest title in the title system. There are many higher than this such as Lords, Barons, Viscounts etc. But they are all far away from me so it is not the thing I should consider now. Every title have three level. Just as the grades of the skills. But the different things is the lower in number, the higher in status (For example, 3rd is the lowest and 1st is the highest in the status.)
At that time, the system notified: "Player 'Fight Against Destiny' is the first one get the territory in the game, reward prestige 1000."
Not after a minutes, my message column is almost burst because of there are numerous message sending to it, some are asking how can I get the territory, some want to buy my territory Oh now I seems totally famous in the game. Although I have other things that lead to the announcement of the system, those are all small things. Territory is truly the things that lead to the care of all of the good player in the game because it is not only means a large amount of income (This game's gold coins can be change into the real money in some rate), it is also the base of the player to conquer the world in the late of the game.
There are too many messages sending to me and make me really headache. So I just set my message column as "refuse to receive the message from the strangers". That makes me better.
The city president continuous saying:"The King is already know you are already becomes the president of a foreign tribe. So he commands you to give 1000 horses to him every month. There will be a officer to receive the horses every month. And, of course, the King will give you some reward. "
I have no ways but agree. The king is already knowing that, if I don' agree, maybe he will conquer it with military power After all, the tribe is not belong to the country.
The city president suddenly says:"The reason why I was called to meeting in the capital is because of the thing happened in the flying eagle town, you know that, right?"
I secretly surprise, the Main Priest has the ability to talk to God. Put it in plain language, he can access to the game data. If he knows that the massacre of Mystery Magician is caused by my talking nonsense, I will be a dead man.
Well, it seems that the priest didn't mention me.
The castellan says: now the king has issue the order for arrest. Killing the Mystery Magician whoever see him. The person who kills him will award 300,000 experiences and 1000 contributions. The effective degree of order for arrest is ten. Now all of the transfer matrix have forbidden transferring this player. What's more, the king says. He will severely punish those villages which provide Mystery Magician the potions. Considering that most of villages have weak fighting capacity. So the king will allocate 100 gold coins to every village and town to strengthen the force construction.
Nodding my head, I still worry:" but I only have a village guard in 40 grades. I am in a weak position. Can you send me some soldiers? I am sure I will pay for salary."
The castellan smile:" I can send the soldiers to your place like other village because this is your own self-governing domain. You should not occupy the public resource. I will retrieve the village guard in your village next month. Actually, since your first person possessing the domain, now the "recruitment system" has automatically started. You can send recruitment massage to every npc "
I startle:" I can recruit npc?"
The castellan smile:" sure you can. Commonly, the npc on the street majors in living profession. If you wanna find soldier, please go to 'talent market' in underworld."
I cry out spontaneously:" 'talent market '? "
OMG, I can even see such thing in the game. This is a place where I visited for most times when I just graduated.
Asking the position of underworld, I have no interest to talk to castellan. I say goodbye to castellan in hasty and run out of castellan residence.
