I Have a Dragon Island - Chapter 558

[Chapter 558: Raging Knight]

“Even if the master is as cruel as that fat pig, we dare not say a word against him. What qualifications do we have to let him resort to such means?” thought Old Mike.

Afterwards, Old Mike handed some sundries to Talia and others, and hurried away with the thick parchment in his hand.

He pulled Thomas, who was guarding the gate, and went to the signboard in Thunder Town again.

As soon as the group of people returned home, they were called out again by Old Mike, and they were all a little confused.

“Old Mike. Could it be that the Baron has given us another mission?”

“It’s about corn planting.” Old Mike didn’t intend to keep the secret and directly read out the information on the thick parchment.

When he arrived at this place, the system automatically configured the language of the Kingdom of Thorns for Yu Bu, and Old Mike happened to be literate.

After teaching everyone how to plant and maintain corn, Old Mike spoke again and tried to keep the group of people.

“Everyone wait a moment, there is another piece of news to be announced now!”

A group of people stopped and looked curious.

“It’s about taxes,” said Old Mike.

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s eyes widened.

“What do you mean, Old Mike? Is the tax collected in our Thunder Town already quite high? A full 70 percent. Does the Baron want to increase it further?!” Someone exclaimed.

Someone wailed: “God, please save us. I was wondering why this new lord would release food, it turns out he has ulterior motives!”

Everyone was talking at once.

Some were whispering to each other, some looked miserable, and some were wailing loudly, which made Old Mike and Thomas very angry.

“Shut up!”

Unexpectedly, it was Thomas who shouted loudly.

As he spoke, he pulled out the person who was shouting the loudest in front of him and gave him two slaps in the face.

With two slapping sounds, the man covered his face and was stunned.

“Thomas, what do you mean?! Have you also joined the Demon Lord now?!” Someone’s eyes turned red.

As the only first-level knight in Thunder Town, Thomas is extremely majestic.

Moreover, it is because the latter always speaks for the people and is the most respected person by the people besides the lord.

Unexpectedly, Thomas’ attitude suddenly changed at this moment and he directly attacked the residents in the town.

“Oh my God! Thomas, did the lord give you some benefits, so you just turned to him!”

“Yes, that must be the case. When I passed by the lord’s castle just now, I heard Old Mike shouting ‘two silver coins’. That must be the case!”

Looking at the shouting of the crowd, Old Mike and Thomas were very angry.

“Just shut up!”

This first-order knight suddenly burst out with his might.

Although he has not reached the third level and is unable to release his fighting spirit.

But because of the majesty he had accumulated over time, a group of people were so scared that they shut their mouths in an instant, not daring to say a word.

For a moment, the entire center of the town fell into silence.

Old Mike looked at Thomas gratefully and let out a long breath.

He turned his head and looked at the group of Thunder residents, a complex feeling of pity and hatred appearing in his eyes.

“You really misunderstood Master Yu Bu this time.”

Taking a deep breath, he issued Yu Bu’s order.

“The master has revised the tax rate in Thunder Town… but it is not an increase, but a decrease. The tax rate is now officially changed to 30%!”
