„Stops.”
Before the caravan arrives at the checkpoint, a soldier shouldered to catch fire lazily / spear/gun from the corridor of log cabin good. His flexure that chaotic hair, has knocked the harness that under the Alan place has ridden with the butt gently, said: „Where do you want to go to?”
Alan still rode in immediately, puts out a hand to pat hangs in nearby blade gateway: „Through the wind erosion rift valley, naturally must go to the violet port, which otherwise can also toward go?”
The soldiers narrowed the eye, line of sight fell on the knight badge of Alan chest, said: „Yo, originally is the knight master. You look unfamiliar tightly, isn't the people in storm city?”
„Yes, I come from the Suhl city.”
„That was right, has wanted, pays taxes. An everyone silver coin.” The soldiers were saying careless, and has pulled out the ear with the nail.
A tax revenue of silver coin is not cheap, in the Suhl city, this money has sufficed adult one week of life to need. The wind erosion rift valley delimits reluctantly in the territory in storm city, is actually the region of edge. Can say through the rift valley, does not need to pass by the territory in storm city completely, so taxation, and tax revenue is soaring, it can be said that a very excessive matter.
Alan shook the head, does not hope here and storm city has the conflict, said to Wily: „Pays taxes.”
„Wait, called all people, my answer was clear.” The soldiers said.
Alan received a purse in Wily hand, lost to him directly said: „Did not need to count, here had 100 silver coins, the horses were counted are also enough. We rush to time, please put aside the roadblock.”
The soldiers stared one to him, weighs the purse, snort/hum had put aside the roadblock in the past.
Thinks that all will live in peace with each other, when may in the caravan , the soldier suddenly stop. Alan did not ask patiently: „How?”
„What are these?” The soldiers have knocked cargo on a carriage.
„That is we transports to the cotton material of violet port.”
„Commodity?” Soldiers snort/hum sound said: „When the Suhl city achieved the violet port the business. Since is the commodity, we must levy the business tax!”
Wily fist pinches giggle sound, obviously is the air/Qi extremely. Then must manifest suddenly, actually gives Alan to put out a hand to block. The latter does not get angry instead smiles, asked: „This business tax how does receive the law?”
„10%, no! 30%, right, we must levy the cargo value 30% amounts to take the business tax, now unloads your cargos, must estimate the taxation after us can pass.” Soldier loud say/way.
He looks at these several horse-drawn vehicles, according to the normal market price, in this also has ten thousand gold coins. If 30%, then have 3000 gold coins to result. Besides turns in part to storm city, other he and person at least each people can obtain 110 gold coins, that is an unexpected wealth!
„30%, the appetite is not small.” Alan light say/way.
„That is...... What did you say?” The soldiers called: „Little spoke the idle talk, makes your person unload quickly the cargo, do not delay my time.”
Alan cold say/way: „Our batch of cotton materials, even if transports to the violet port, the obtained profit does not have your tax revenue to come high. You such do, was excessive.”
„Excessively?” The soldier laughs, walks to point at Alan to say with the spear/gun: „Do not think that you wear the knight badge, really worked as itself the aristocrat master. However is the knight who a countryside comes out, did you earn money, with my what does/works? Few idle talk, work quickly......”
The soldier words end said, suddenly sees the barrel to fall into Alan's hand, then the straight barrel was twisted by him curved, immediately look changes. Alan claps saying: „Be not pointing at me with the spear/gun, that will make me misunderstand. This so-called business tax, I will not hand over. Now I only give you two roads to elect \; first, open checkpoint \; second, to let me tramples flat here. In addition, does not have the third possibility.”
„Good, counter- this is!” The soldiers called out: „Brothers copy the fellow quickly, the poor devils in Suhl city revolted.”
Some soldiers run one after another from the log cabin, Alan coldly looks at all these, and has hit a meaningful glance to Wily. both sides must begin shortly, suddenly some people called out: „Stops to me!”
A middle-aged military officer walks combative from room, stared Alan one eyes, then said: „Puts them to pass.”
Alan looked at his one eyes surprisedly, the military officer snort/hum said: „Hasn't walked? Does father deliver you a regulation?”
„That does not use but actually.” Alan shows a faint smile, gestured, the caravan passed the checkpoint, vanishes in the shadow of rift valley.
After they leave, that creates obstacles for the soldiers of caravan to hand over in the military officer hand to say the purse: „Does boss, such let off them?”
„Are you what kind of? Damn, is your long brain good, their person that many. Moreover these guards, all did not say a word, obviously was some ruthless roles. You think to begin, suffering a loss which can be one side?” The military officer fan his back of the head palm said: „We only have ten people, the opposite party population enough is our 34 times. Begins, begins , can only wait for the person to gather up dead bodies to us.”
The soldiers feel the head, answered is. The military officer actually grins fiendishly a sound said: „Naturally, cannot be so cheap they. The poor devils in Suhl city must trade together with the violet port unexpectedly, I think that Sir Morde will not be glad to hear this news. You, tells Dick good old thing, said that has the prey to look after him. Naturally, finally harvests obtained, must come according to the old rule.”
„My this manages.” The soldiers said radiantly.
The military officers also called two people, has referred to the rift valley deep place, two soldiers departed understandingly.
The rift valley is very peaceful, the sunlight kept off by the two sides rocks most probably, making the temperature in valley appear cool. Alan and Jess walk side-by-side, Jess often turns head on the way, youngster strange say/way: „It seems like they are intelligent, has not done the unnecessary matter.”
„They have almost done, that military officer has rescued their life.” Alan knitting the brows head of: „I know that Suhl city deterioration, actually has not always thought that storm city arrogant hence. The soldier in trivial border checkpoint, dares to be so dissolute. It seems like the Suhl city squeezed to Knight Morde was very long.”
„But now Suhl city chancellors is not York or Ethan.” Jess said.
Alan shakes the head smiles: „Regarding Morde that person, he does not believe from the start the Suhl city can rise. However quick, he knows that city is different. After we come back, well thinks, deals with and this neighbor's relations.”
„Which used troublesome, to hit directly on the line.” Jess pats the racket to cut the iron the scabbard to say.
„That is sooner or later matter.” Alan said.
When the caravan goes out of the rift valley is in the evening, after the team enters the wilderness, in the shadow of rift valley exit|to speak emits the Daoist shadow, is actually the soldier in storm city. He uses some crushed stones to exhibit an arrow on the ground the design, the arrow referring to place, is the direction that the caravan departs. Completes all these, he bents to continue to follow, tags along in the caravan behind.
Source strength in blood pipe flow.
When they pass through the heart, the part will be absorbed by the evil eye institute. Evolution from now on Alifet many are absorbing Alan's source strength as before, compares , on Earth, Alifet are many texture to want much clearly. Alan attention will put aside from it, has remembered the matter of second imprisoned barrier. He attempts to separate source strength to seep in the heart, strengthens this organ by this.
Although he does not know does this, at the appointed time when attacks the barrier function to have many. But now, he temporarily thinks also only then this stupid means. Source strength that therefore tonight tempers, the majority uses, in Alifet were many and in strengthened heart two, the growth of source strength 1% do not have continually. This minimal harvest made Alan sigh one lightly, he has opened the eye, ended the source strength training.
At this moment is at midnight, the caravan hit also to calculate that the appropriate place pitched camp, after the camp, was a hill, reluctantly was a barrier. If at least the night has the danger insurance to appear and disappear, the caravan has avoided the danger of being attacked by the enemy on all sides.
Alan uncovers the tent/account, the soldier of tent Waishan king is on night duty, two groups of light bonfires illuminate the corner/horn of camp, was outlining in the camp the fuzzy outline. In Alan heart moves, turns around to look toward behind hill. On the hillside flatter black holds the spear/gun back to the camp, the young girl is raising head to look at the day, resembles end falls asleep.
„Can't fall asleep?”
After the moment, Alan climbed up hill, sits to the flatter black side. The night wind sends in young girl delicate fragrance Alan's nose, heard that is intoxicated. Alan throws over a coat to the flatter black body, in order to avoid she catches cold. Although he knows, does not fall ill by the physique of flatter black easily.
flatter black has gathered together clothes, still looks at the nighttime sky saying: „I am thinking, in this above star, which can be our Earth.”
Everywhere star.
Tonight not clouds, this unknown planet has own moon and Sun similarly, star light that naturally also many glitters. Does not have the stars that to calculate to connect a Milky Way, spans above the indigo blue nighttime sky, is grand and beautiful. Alan said gently: „If not because of me, perhaps you now also on Earth.”
„Why said like this?”
„Now this type loses the contact with Earth, loses in does not know that the present situation in which star territory, cannot withdraw the responsibility with me. flatter black, actually......”
flatter black puts out a hand according to Alan's mouth, the young girl to shake the head to say suddenly lightly: „This is road that I choose, you do not need to rebuke oneself for this reason anything. Similarly, follows person who you embark together, I think that they have the respective reason. Arrives at together us because of own choice, should undertake all with you together. Otherwise, why do we become your partner?”
„Therefore Alan, you must do, is leads us to walk. No matter the end point is anything, we are glad to follow, that is all.”
Alan smiled, raised the head saying: „Thank you.”
flatter black then retracted hand, actually „well”.
„How?” Alan looks toward her.
The young girls put out a hand under wilderness toward dim light of night to refer to: „Is that the flame?”
Alan looks following the direction that she points, in the wilderness in distant place, an orange bright appears very conspicuous. After the moment, presented another point. Then the ignition light appears, the continuous Large expanse, rough estimate also fully has over a hundred points.
„Our troubles came.” Alan jumps to say.
