Chapter 14: Bulletin Boards and Merchants

The [Detection Faction, Good and Evil] of the Priest and the Paladin is based on the judgment of the gods, and only the [Detection Faction, Good and Evil] of the Paladin is the purest.

The corresponding identity has a judgment bonus for the detection of priests and paladins, and a god's camp can also affect the judgment result, Bishop Cole of the Church of the God of Knowledge used [Detect Good and Evil] on Cervantes, and the final result is [Neutral], neither good nor evil.

This result disappointed some, but it also relieved more people, at least their own lords were not evil.

The 'not evil' black dragon was very unmotivated after returning from the hunt, and even made Edith suspect that she had seen it wrong, and this lazy dragon didn't look like the scheming brother before.

Although it may be an exaggeration to say that it is waste, it should be about the same.

She didn't understand why Sister Serena would willingly become the maid of such a guy, obviously not worthy of it at all.

The more she studied with the maid, the more Edith felt that 'Sister Serena' was unfathomable—not about her strength, but about her knowledge!

Serena's knowledge was far beyond Edith's imagination, and she couldn't imagine how a person could be so knowledgeable that it was like a humanoid library of the royal capital.

And there are many apostasy or fantastic ideas in my head, and any one of them can affect the whole world, even if it can't affect the whole world, it can affect the whole human society.

Some ideas are not very elaborate, and even need to use a little brain and change the mind to be able to come up with them, but such a simple thing has never been thought of.

According to Serena's sister, 'The world is so abnormal. ’

Although she said so, Edith still thought that Sister Serena was too good, and it was because Sister Serena was so good that she was able to have so many wonderful ideas.

Putting aside the stupid dragon's affairs first, Sister Serena seems to be going to make something called 'news' recently, and she has to set up a 'bulletin board' near the city gate, but it is said that the 'news' can't be done now, because everything is not well prepared, but the 'bulletin board' is much easier.

Sister Serena also invented a little thing called 'paste', a very convenient little thing to use with the 'bulletin board'.

Edith and her servants ran to the gate facing the royal capital, and watched as the carpenter erected the bulletin board bit by bit.

In fact, it was not that complicated, two pillars, a wooden plank, and a shed to protect from the rain, and instead of nails, a structure called 'mortise and tenon' that Serena's sister said, the notice board was built.

The magical 'mortise and tenon', although it is a coined word, Edith also feels a little awkward, but she is really interested in this little thing.

From time to time, the gaze of the gatekeepers would drift by, and the civilians and adventurers around them had never seen this magical 'mechanical structure', and the merchants passing by would also be attracted by this kind of thing.

However, it doesn't take long to build a simple bulletin board, and the structure is very simple, and the people around them didn't watch the excitement for long, and when things were built, they became interested in this 'bulletin board' again.

After the bulletin board was erected, Edith stood in front of the bulletin board, the servant holding the 'paste' and a few pieces of papyrus, because the paper factory had only been established for a long time, and had not been able to make 'paper', so they still used papyrus.

Other papers are too expensive to use in this kind of place.

This was written this morning, and after two days of gathering intelligence, I finally got some things counted.

Edith excitedly took out the papyrus, pasted the paste on the back of the papyrus, and pasted the 'important' notices on the bulletin board with her own hands.

Looking up and down, and then left and right, Edith smiled and beckoned to the onlookers, and then took the servant home.

The crowd of onlookers gathered around Edith after she left, but many were illiterate and couldn't read what was written on the few pieces of paper posted on the bulletin board.

However, a few merchants could see that a few words were written on them as numbers, but unfortunately, they could not understand the words in front of them.

"Let one go, let one go. ”

Two priest-apprentices from the Church of the God of Knowledge crowded in, knowing that it had been arranged by Miss Edith, who was very popular, kind, and beautiful in the Saddy Realm......

"We are literate, we are literate! Let's pass, let's pass!"

The two schoolchildren raised their hands in the air, and they could feel a few hands roaming over them, but it didn't matter, they didn't bring the money out.

In the noisy crowd, they kept shouting 'we are literate' and kept squeezing into it until they barely squeezed to the front.

By this time, their clothes were already in disarray, and one of the apprentice's shoes had been lost, but they ignored it, and just squeezed to the front, the two of them stood in front of them, ignoring the scolding behind them, and quietly looked at the 'notice' on it.

"You two ......" An adventurer with a bad temper grabbed the back of an apprentice's neck and pulled him over roughly, but the apprentice reacted and kept shouting: "Tax rate, that tax rate!"

The adventurer was stunned for a moment, and then another apprentice also shouted, "Specialty, and specialty! Oh, the king of knowledge, what's the matter with this tax rate?"

The two shouts of the two apprentices attracted people's attention, and the apprentice who was caught by the adventurer looked at the adventurer man innocently, and the big man smiled awkwardly and put him down.

The apprentice straightened his collar and walked over to stand with his classmates, looking at the notice.

A group of people gathered around, waiting for the two apprentices to explain.

"Noso, Wenders, why are you two here?"

A scholar from the Church of the God of Knowledge was given the way, and the young scholar tapped the two juniors on the shoulder, and the two apprentices woke up.

"Ah, Mistress Gretel......"

The young scholar Gretel leaned over curiously to take a look at it, and immediately gasped, and asked in a lost voice, "What's the deal with this tax rate?"

Gretel's gaffe sparked everyone's curiosity, sticking his head and ears to hear something.

Grett fell into deep thought, the two apprentices glanced at each other, and one of the apprentices stepped forward, clapping his hands in fear and said, "This is written on the 'tax rate' of the Sad Wind Leader, the new tax rate set by the Duke. ”

Isn't their Duke a black dragon? Could it be that the tax rate has been raised? Thinking of the new duke's body, the people around him are a little uneasy.

"However, it's not a tax increase, it's a tax cut!"

The apprentice waved his arms excitedly and shouted, "And there is also a tax divided into various taxes, just like a 'commercial tax', and only when doing business is you need to pay a 'commercial tax'...... It looks like the taxes have increased, but in fact they have been reduced, and you just need to know that the taxes have been reduced. ”

"And it also writes about the specialties of our Sorrowful Wind Territory, such as the materials in the Black Forest, if they are transported from the Sorrowful Wind Territory to other territories to sell, they can at least double the value, and the goods that could have been sold for a thousand gold coins can be sold for three thousand gold coins when they are transported to the king's capital!"

At this moment, the crowd was in an uproar, and now many people are using silver coins and copper coins, what is the concept of three thousand gold coins?

"Not only that!" The apprentice shouted, attracting everyone's attention, with an inexplicable brilliance in his eyes, and said: "Not only that, but it also lists the materials needed by the Sorrowful Wind Leader, which are things that the Sorrowful Wind Leader does not have, or cannot manufacture, and is transported from other territories to the Sorrowful Wind Territory to be sold, just like transporting the special products of the Sorrowful Wind Territory to other places to sell!

At this moment, the merchants were boiling.

Because the sad wind collar not only reduced taxes, but also marked 'specialties' and 'needs', even if you don't have to go to the tavern to inquire, you can know these news.

Isn't that a good opportunity?

No longer need to buy goods aimlessly and ship them elsewhere to resell, just follow the signs on the notices and they can make a lot of money!

If this news may be fake, it is not impossible, but most of the businessmen present have been doing business in the Sorrowful Wind Territory for a long time, and apart from them, few businessmen from other places have come to the Sorrowful Wind Territory.

Most of them are aware of some of the business information of the Sad Wind Collar, which used to be confidential information of the Chamber of Commerce or the caravan itself, but now they are all openly and honestly announced.

I don't know if it's good or bad, but it's an opportunity – and their chance has finally come!
