Chapter 42 Study and Investigation
Chapter 42 Study and Investigation
"Miss two gentlemen, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The captain walked over with the big bobcat. It could be seen that the battle just now was not fierce. The captain with the third-level strength easily took the big bobcat off. There were not even many wounds on the bobcat. The battle ended in just an instant. "Come with me, first register your goods and yours and pay the taxes included in the customs."
As soon as the captain came, soldiers immediately welcomed him and carried the big bobcat back. They had been envious of this wild game for a long time, but only soldiers who participated in the wild training to encircle and suppress monsters were qualified to eat. Today, this fish that escaped the net is really rare and is just used to improve food. This is the body of a monster. After eating it, those who awaken their bloodlines and become abilities may have a chance. Even if they do not awaken their bloodlines, they can make their bodies stronger.
This checkpoint is very simple, all made of wooden structure, blocking the road with a horse-rejecting horse, and there is a registration room next to it. However, Ax noticed that behind the checkpoint there was a huge military camp that could accommodate hundreds of people to live, so the military camp was not simple. The building was made of anti-witchcraft resin, which was a big deal. "Sir, please sit."
The interior of the doorkeeper was extremely simple, with a few tables and chairs, and a bookcase. A boy was sitting at the table, next to it was a stack of paper produced in Winster territory. Ax sat opposite him. "Sir, are you literate?" asked the boy. Ax nodded. Don't say that a nobleman like him has been doing business abroad for many years, except for small vendors, who doesn't know how to read?
Seeing that he was literate, the young man took out two pieces of paper from a large stack of paper and put them in front of Ax. Only then did Ax notice that the handwriting on the stack of paper on the desktop was the same, with boxes drawn on it, words in the box, such as name, gender, identity, what to do in Winster territory, how many members of the caravan, their respective names, etc. Another piece of paper was also similar, but it was written about what goods were sold, their respective quantity, their value, how much tax should be paid, and whether they were paid.
Perhaps because he was afraid that he would not fill it out, he took out another form that had been filled out for him to demonstrate. Only then did Ax know the function and how to fill it out. "Sir, the first one is the identity form. After filling it out, I will give you a temporary identity card with the corresponding number. If you are an individual, it is an identity card. However, you are a caravan, I will give a group of identity cards under your identity card according to the order of the caravan members."
"These identity cards represent your identities and must be carried with you. In our territory, your meals, accommodation and other activities, you need to show these identity cards. If not, you will be unable to move forward and will be invited by local security forces to their barracks for tea. After entering the territory, please take the initiative to cooperate with us to restrain the caravan members and the adventurers hired. You must not violate the laws of our territory. This is a matter of concern."
"Thank you, sir, I will try my best to restrain myself." Ax picked up the form and filled it out quickly, and soon finished the first one. However, on the demonstration form, the last one with physical characteristics was empty, and he had some questions. "Sir, don't you need to fill in this one?" The boy took the filled form and looked at him carefully, and wrote "Don't you need to..." on it. After writing it, the boy said to him: "I fill in these, but I have heard that it will not need to fill in it for a while. Now the Wizards Academy is developing witchcraft imaging technology. At that time, just leave an image corresponding to the ID number plate for you to be on."
Ax was shocked. The Winster's control over the territory was really amazing. "Next, let's fill in the second form. All the merchants who have passed by must fill in this form. Please be sure to fill in this column truthfully. After filling in, the captain will check your goods." Ax was delighted after hearing this. Such levels are available in many noble territories. Foreign goods will be charged a certain fee. As a wizard, he has space, and the corresponding taxes for the goods brought in and out of the space can be saved.
Ax was happy, and the boy continued, "I heard that wizards have space to carry goods in and out. Although we do not have the means of inventory of these space goods, foreign merchants will leave records corresponding to me in all business activities in the territory. At that time, we will integrate them with this form to check them together. So sir, if you are a wizard, you must pay attention to this point, otherwise the amounts that need to be paid at that time must be compensated."
It can still be like this. Ax looked at his subordinates. At this time, these forms are no longer ordinary forms. The administrator of Winster Territory can easily control everything in the entire city through such forms. The lords of the region only need to establish a complete set of order, linked together and balance each other, and can easily manage everything in the territory.
He will also be the lord of a land in the future. At this time, he wanted to imitate, but if he wanted to imitate, he would find enough literate talents from where to use this expensive paper. Moreover, he did not have the corresponding technology for such batch-made forms? Such an idea can only be thought about in his mind. However, at Winster, he saw a brand new world, a more advanced and perfect order than the existing aristocratic system.
Ax no longer had a chance in his heart and filled in everything truthfully. After he finished filling it out, the boy had already taken out all the corresponding ID cards and filled out the number corresponding to the ID cards on his first identity form. "Sir, this is your temporary ID card. In the territory, please be sure to carry it with you. If you lose it accidentally, you should go to the corresponding internal department to report the loss and reissue it as soon as possible. These small cards are the ID cards corresponding to your caravan members."
Ax took the card and looked at it. The card was not even the size of a palm, but a thin piece of wood. There was a strange emblem on the piece. He secretly guessed that it was the aristocratic emblem of the lord. On the side of the emblem, there were some strange words engraved, as if the boy was exactly the same as the one filled in on his identity number. This number corresponds to the form he filled in and represents his identity. He directly put away the entire set of cards and prepared to go back and send the cards of the caravan members.
After filling in the form, the captain of the checkpoint also came back from the caravan and compared the corresponding goods with the boy. After all this was done, the Ax's convoy was released. At this time, several ox carts came from behind his team, as well as women from the brigade. The owner of the caravan was immediately invited to the room, and everything continued.
"It's just a bit too complicated. Now there are not many merchants, but what should I do if there are too many business trips in the future?" After the convoy passed through the checkpoint, he sent all his ID cards one by one, and then told them carefully. When he looked back at the checkpoint, he thought of this problem, but this was not something he needed to worry about. Soon, after passing the checkpoint and the military camp at the border, he left these behind.
The ox cart moved slowly forward, passed the checkpoint, and entered the mountain plains of Winster's territory. The ox cart moved forward much easier and began to go downhill. The drivers driving the vehicle began to adjust the vehicle, just like a modern cart to brake with friction when going downhill. Although these ox carts are simple, there are also braking measures. "Wow, what a wide and flat road, all made of anti-witch resin. Oh my God, how much anti-witch resin does this consume."
Ariel lifted the curtain of the ox cart and stretched out her little head to exclaim in a constant state of marvel. Originally, when she entered the checkpoint, the flat ground and roads of the checkpoint were already anti-witchcraft resin. They didn't care at that time, but after walking through the checkpoint, a road that could accommodate four ox carts, all made of anti-witchcraft resin had appeared in front of them, extending from their feet to villages and towns in the distance. Such a move immediately shocked her.
"It's not all a road built with anti-witchcraft resin. Ariel took a closer look. The skeleton of this road is made of pebbles and some other materials in the river. The amount of anti-witchcraft resin used is much less than you can see." Ax explained, and then his eyes fell on the green land on both sides of the road. Those lands were just reclaimed when Lasvia came, and now all wheat seedlings have been planted.
"Ariel, look, these wheat seedlings seem to grow much stronger than those in our territory." In this era, the yield of food is one of the most important factors that restrict the development of the territory. In fact, it is not only restricting the development of the territory, but also restricting the development of social order and civilization. It is hard to imagine what can the whole world develop if people can't even eat enough. "Rovid, look at the wheat on both sides, how much do you think the yield here will be stronger than our territory?"
This time, Ax came to Winster Territory not only for pure business, but also for an investigation of Winster Territory, because the miracle that happened in this land had already spread throughout Westerma with Winster's statement. In fact, many nobles came here with this idea. He was definitely not the first or the last. When he came to the inspection, the troops he brought were no longer a simple caravan, and some corresponding talents and scholars in the territory.
When Ax was summoned, Roved was also amazed at the wheat on this land. Although he was illiterate, he had been managing agriculture for the Ax family for generations. He had accumulated a lot of experience and was very proficient in farming. At this time, he could roughly draw the yield of the wheat, and the result was an amazing number. "How come the wheat grows so amazing?"
He was about to take a closer look when he heard the summons from Ax and hurried to Ax's carriage. "Sir Ax, the wheat harvest here is at least three times that of our territory." Three times, this is an extremely amazing number. You must know that in Westma, the Ax family is extremely leading in agriculture. Whether it is the construction of water conservancy facilities or the use of fertilizers, their grain output is much higher than other territories. Now, the wheat here is actually stronger than theirs, and it is not a little stronger, which really scared Ax.
"How is this possible? The average acre of wheat per acre is only more than 200 kilograms per acre per season. Our territory can produce more than 300 kilograms. It is already very high. This is three times ours. Wouldn't it be close to 1,000 kilograms?" He was surprised and almost shouted out loudly. At this time, an old farmer took a car to the road from the small road to the main road to return to the village. Hearing Aix's amazement, he responded proudly: "Sir, our fields are cultivated under the guidance of the druid wizard. Lord Lightning Crow said that the yield per acre is definitely more than 1,000 kilograms."
"It smells so smelly." Ariel suddenly smelled an amazing stench and hurriedly covered her nose. "Ax, drive the car forward a little. I don't know what is being pulled in the car. It smells so smelly." As soon as Ariel said, she immediately turned everyone's eyes on the old farmer's car. "It smells smelly, this is the farmer's treasure. Without this thing, how can wheat grow so well?" The old farmer said unhappily, knowing that they are not all the people, and no longer talk to them. She stopped the car and let the ox cart pass quickly.
"Sir, the car is filled with feces." Roved was extremely familiar with this smell. Under the corps of Earl Ex, the output of the fields was higher than that of other territories, and the use of this fertilizer was of great significance. Ackers nodded: "Rovid, after we arrive at the City of Hope, you go to this countryside to study it carefully." Roved was happy to see the hunter at this time, but it was not the time to study it at this time, so he had to respond.
The vehicle moved slowly, and soon, another novel thing fell into their sight. For them, Winster had too many novel things. However, they could still imagine the novel things, but this thing could not be imagined. With a "beep" sound, their attention fell on the cart that suddenly appeared behind the convoy.
In fact, Ax had seen this car. When he passed by the checkpoint barracks, he occasionally saw several such big cars. At that time, he was still wondering what kind of roads such big cars needed and what kind of animal power they needed. At this time, they understood why the road led by Winster was so wide and flat.
The width of this car is twice that of a ox cart, and its length is even more scary. At this time, Mercedes-Benz was really like lightning speed. What is incredible is that there was no horse in front of the vehicle, and the beeping sound was a whistle. After roaring twice, the vehicle slowed down slightly, and then quickly drove past them. Behind the vehicle, there were dozens of soldiers wearing simple armor and holding various weapons. Such a vehicle was not one, but four.
The shape of the car is not much different from the main world military vehicles. There are currently less than ten vehicles in Winster. It is the first generation of products after Li Zhi's test vehicles that day. It was manufactured by the wizards and craftsmen of the academy for transportation. The overall vehicle design was given by the craftsmen, and the wizard apprentices participated in the entire process. The metal components were shaped by simple alchemy, and finally assembled by the craftsmen.
As the territory is becoming more and more perfect, the main world is now less and less, most of which are all kinds of food and clothing, and other items. The territory can be produced by itself, such as various simple metal tools. After the territory is established, it can be produced by itself. For those who are familiar with the earth veins.
Vehicle users are now only used by wizards in the Guardian Knights and territories. There is a big reason why this kind of car cannot be popularized now, that is, driving has certain requirements for users' focus. It is extremely rare to achieve this condition than ordinary people. However, the Guardian Knights and wizards are different, and it is also restricted by this. However, it is not difficult to solve this problem, and it is just a matter of time.
"It's so amazing. Brother, that car is powered by witchcraft." Ariel said in amazement. Ax thought more profound than her. In Winster, witchcraft is no longer a wizard's patent. In the Guardian Knights and this car, he was seeing that witchcraft is spreading to the world of ordinary people at an extremely fast speed. Ordinary people can also use witchcraft, and ordinary people can also use witchcraft made by alchemy.
Witchcraft is used to destroy, and its power is enough to destroy the world. If witchcraft is used to build, it will change the world. Ax did not answer, but just watched the vehicle go away quickly. This time, when he came to Winster, even if there was no other gain, just seeing all this from Winster, he knew that the future development trend of the world was worth it. He was even more looking forward to this investigation. Winster, Hope City, really lived up to the name of hope.
At this moment, Ax had already put the lady who had escaped before behind his head. However, if he knew that the witch who looked extremely beautiful was actually Andalil, he would not know whether he would feel scared. On that day, with Herason's comeback, he cleared all the hell powers in Lugain and the desert area at an extremely fast speed. Duriel knew Herason's strength and had been besieging Tyrel for a long time in the realm space. As soon as Herason came, he gave up the decision to destroy Tyrel's clone, ran away, and spread the news of Herason's comeback.
With Herasen's comeback and the Heradim Brothers show increasingly strong combat power, those old friends in the past awakened one by one, the devil of Hell believed that the fall of Candras was a matter of time, and there was no need to make useless sacrifices. What should be given up is to give up. It is justified to concentrate all power on the Eastern Continent. So there was an Andalil's plan for destruction and destruction. The killing of the Hell Legion and the run of the Hell Lord also began. However, when the Hell Lords ran away, Andalil quietly left the team of the Hell Lord...
