I Have a Dragon Island - Chapter 559
[Chapter 559 Angels and Messengers]
“…”
Silence, deathly silence.
The breeze blows, as if it can blow into my heart.
Everyone just felt that the summer didn’t seem so hot anymore, it was actually damn cool.
Rows of red-bellied birds flew across the sky, and the sound of their clear chirping was pleasant and melodious.
I don’t know how long it was before someone finally cried out in surprise.
“Oh my god! Is this true? The taxes in our Thunder Town will actually be reduced?”
“Old Mike, you’re not lying to us, are you!?”
Old Mike immediately slapped the person who questioned him, and he immediately shut up.
“This is absolutely true, Thomas can testify to it!”
Everyone then turned their eyes and looked at Thomas, with hope in their eyes.
After seeing the latter nod, the whole crowd was stunned for a moment, and then they became excited in an instant.
“Oh! Could it be that Master Yu Bu is an angel sent by God? Is he the savior who came to rescue us?!”
Countless people danced and cried bitterly.
They felt as if they were dreaming, but the dream was so real.
When Old Mike and Thomas saw this scene, they also wiped away their tears quietly.
Then, Old Mike gathered his strength and roared loudly.
“Okay! Now, everyone, hurry back home and get ready to start planting corn!”
“good!”
Everyone cheered and limped towards their homes.
The hunger lasted for who knows how long, and they had already become skin and bones, and could hardly walk.
But for some reason, Old Mike felt that everyone in the crowd seemed to be shining.
That is a light called hope.
After all, for the people, the greatest happiness is to have enough food.
With a sigh, Old Mike turned and looked at Thomas.
“Alright. Let’s go back and report.”
The latter nodded and was about to follow Old Mike.
But at this moment, Thomas actually frowned and turned to look at an open space in front of him.
There, there stood a young man dressed in aristocratic attire.
He seemed not to feel Thomas’s gaze at this moment. He was looking around and sighing.
“Haha, a new baron of Thunder Town? Interesting, interesting, he actually gives such benefits to his subjects.”
As he spoke, he turned his gaze and looked at Thomas, who was somewhat doubtful.
“You are the servants of the Baron’s family, right? It just so happens that I also want to visit the new Baron. By the way, my name is Yosel…”
After a pause, Yosel showed a standard aristocratic smile again.
“He is Lord Count Chris’s tax envoy.”
…
Yosser was standing in the hall on the first floor of the castle. Beside him, Liya was nervously bringing him a cup of tea.
“Lord Yoser, please have some tea.”
“Put it down.” Yosser said in amazement without even turning his head.
“I can’t believe it. Even though this town is so run-down, there are actually people who would come to buy it.”
No one dared to say a word. Thomas stood guard at the castle gate, feeling a chill on his back and still showing traces of cold sweat.
“It turned out to be the Earl’s tax envoy. Oh my God, why did he come to our town?”
Thomas was feeling very nervous and worried about Yu Bu.
Calculating the time, it is now time for Thunder Town to pay taxes.
In previous summers, the Earl would always send clerks to collect taxes, which was not a rare occurrence.
But the people who came this time were a little unusual.
“Yosier! One of the Earl’s closest confidants! Is he really here to collect taxes?”
Thomas was very worried. With his strength as a first-level knight, he shouldn’t have known the other party’s identity.
