Before the caravan came to the checkpoint, a soldier lazily came out from the corridor of the wooden house carrying a fire/gun.He scratched his messy hair, tapped the Allen's horse harness with the butt, and said, "Where are you going?"

Alan was still riding on the horse, reaching out and tapping the knife case hanging beside him: "Passing through the wind erosion rift, of course, I have to go to Violet Harbor, otherwise where else can I go?"

The soldier squinted his eyes, and fell on the knight badge on Alan's chest, and said, "Oh, it turns out to be a knight master. You have a tight face, aren't you from Storm City?"

"Yes, I'm from Suhl City."

"That's right, if you want to pass it, you can pay the tax. One silver coin per person." The soldier said casually, and digs out his ears with his nails.

Taxes on a silver coin are not cheap. In Suhl City, this little money is enough for an adult to live for a week.The wind erosion rift was barely delineated in the territory of Storm City, but it was already a very marginal zone.It can be said that through the Rift Valley, there is no need to travel through the territory of Storm City. Such taxation and high taxes can be said to be a very excessive thing.

Allen shook his head, unwilling to conflict with Storm City here, and said to Willick, "Pay the tax."

"Wait, call everyone out, I have to count them clearly," the soldier said.

Allen took a purse in Willick's hand and threw it directly to him and said, "No need to count, there are a hundred silver coins here, which is enough for horses. We are in a hurry, please remove the roadblock. "

The soldier glared at him, weighed the purse, and hummed to remove the roadblock.

I thought everything would be fine, but when the caravan passed by, the soldier suddenly called to stop.Allen asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

"What are these?" The soldier knocked on the cargo on a carriage.

"That's the fabric we shipped to Violet Harbor."

"Commodities?" The soldier snorted, "When did Suhl make business in Violet Harbor. Since it is a commodity, then we have to levy a commercial tax!"

Willick clenched his fists and rattled his fists.He was about to attack, but he reached out to stop Alan.The latter laughed without anger and asked, "How is this commercial tax collected?"

"10%, no! 30%, yes, we have to collect 30% of the value of the goods as a commercial tax. Now that you unload your goods, we need to assess and collect taxes before they can pass." The soldier shouted.

He looked at these dozen horse-drawn carriages, and according to normal market prices, there were also ten thousand gold coins in them.If it is 30%, there are three thousand gold coins available.In addition to handing over part of it to Storm City, he and the others can each get at least one hundred gold coins, which is a windfall!

"Thirty percent, my appetite is not small," Allen said lightly.

"That's... what are you talking about?" The soldier cried, "Stop talking nonsense, let your people unload the goods, don't delay my time."

Allen said coldly: "Even if our batch of fabric is shipped to Violet Port, the profit will not be as high as your tax revenue. Do you do this, is it a bit too much?"

"Excessive?" The soldier laughed, and walked over and pointed his gun at Alan. "Don't think that you are wearing a knight badge. You really think of yourself as a noble master. It's just a knight from the country. You can't make money." What do you do with me if you make money? Stop talking nonsense and work faster..."

When the soldier finished speaking, he suddenly saw the barrel of the gun falling into Allen's hands, and then the straight barrel was twisted and bent by him, and his color changed immediately.Allen clapped his hands and said, "Don't point your gun at me, it will make me misunderstand. I will not pay this so-called commercial tax. Now I only give you two options, one is to open the checkpoint, and the other is Let me step down here. Other than that, there is no third possibility."

"Okay, it's the other way around!" the soldier cried, "brothers, copy guys, the poor ghosts of Suer City have rebelled."

Soldiers ran out of the wooden house one after another. Alan looked at all this coldly and winked at Willick.Both parties were about to start their hands when suddenly someone shouted: "Stop it for me!"

A middle-aged officer walked out of the room murderously, glared at Allen, and said, "Let them go."

Alan glanced at him in surprise, and the officer hummed, "Isn't leaving yet? Does I have to give you a ride?"

"That's not necessary." Allen smiled slightly and made a gesture. The caravan passed the checkpoint and disappeared into the shadow of the rift valley.

After they left, the soldier who made trouble for the caravan handed the money bag to the officer's hand and said, "Boss, just let them go?"

"Then what do you want? Damn it, don’t you think it’s a lot of brains, there are so many of them. And those guards, none of them say a word, are obviously ruthless characters. You think you will suffer if you start your hands." Which side?" The officer slapped the back of his head and said: "We have only ten people, and the number of the other party is three or four times as many as us. Hands-on, really hands-on, we can only wait for someone to collect the body."

The soldier touched his head and kept answering yes.The officer grinned and said, "Of course, they can't be so cheap. The poor ghosts of Suhl are going to do business with Violet Harbor. I don't think Master Maud would be happy to hear this news. You, go tell Dick. The old thing, just say that there are prey to take care of him. Of course, the final harvest must follow the old rules."

"I'll do it now." The soldier said with a beaming smile.

The officer called the two again, pointed towards the depths of the rift valley, and the two soldiers left knowingly.

The rift valley is very quiet, and most of the sunlight is blocked by the rocks on both sides, making the temperature in the valley seem shady.Alan and Regis walked side by side, and Regis looked back from time to time on the way, and the young man said in a strange way: "It seems that they are still smart and have done nothing extra."

"They almost did it. The officer saved their lives." Allen frowned, "I know that Sul City has always been weak, but I didn't expect Storm City to be so arrogant. A soldier at a border checkpoint, I dare to be so presumptuous. It seems that Sul City has squeezed Sir Maud for a long time."

"But it's not York or Ethan that is in charge of Sur City right now," Regis said.

Allen shook his head and smiled: "For someone like Maud, he would never believe that Suhr City can rise. But soon, he will know that the city is different. After we get back, we have to think about it. , How to deal with the relationship with this neighbor."

"Which is so troublesome, just hit it directly." Regis patted the iron scabbard.

"That will happen sooner or later." Allen said.

It was already evening when the caravan left the Rift Valley. After the team entered the wilderness, a figure appeared in the shadow of the exit of the Rift Valley, but it was a soldier from Storm City.He used some gravel to make an arrow pattern on the ground, where the arrow pointed was the direction the caravan was leaving.After doing all this, he continued to follow with his waist, trailing behind the caravan.

Yuanli is flowing in the blood vessels.

Whenever they pass through the heart, some of them will be absorbed by the evil eye.After the evolution, Alifedo still absorbs Allen's source power, and the texture on Alifedo's body is much clearer than when he was on earth.Allen took his attention away from it, and remembered the second imprisonment barrier.He tried to separate the source force and penetrate into the heart to strengthen this organ.

Although he didn't know how to do so, how effective it would be when he hit the barrier.But now, he only thought of this stupid way.Therefore, most of the source power that was tempered tonight was used for Alifedo and strengthening the heart, and the source power increased by not even one percent.This slight gain made Allen let out a light sigh, he opened his eyes and ended the source strength training.

It was already midnight, and the caravan had set up a camp in a fairly suitable place. Behind the camp was a hill, which was barely a barrier.At least if dangerous species appear at night, the caravan avoids the danger of being attacked on all sides.

Allen came out. The soldiers of the mountain king outside the camp were watching the night. Two faint bonfires lit up a corner of the camp and outlined the blurred outline of the camp.Alan moved in his heart and turned to look at the hill behind him.On the hillside, Adele turned her gun back to the camp, and the girl was looking up at the sky, seemingly asleep.

"Can't sleep?"

After a while, Allen climbed the hill and sat beside Adele.Ye Feng sent the fragrance of the girl into Allen's nose, and the person who smelled it was fascinated.Allen put a coat on Adele to prevent her from catching a cold.Although he knew that Adele's physique was not easy to get sick.

Adele gathered her clothes and still looked at the night sky and said, "I'm wondering, among the stars above, whether one of the stars is our earth."

The sky is full of stars.

There is no cloud tonight. This unknown planet also has its own moon and sun, and naturally there is no shortage of twinkling stars.Countless stars converge into a Milky Way, which stretches across the indigo blue night sky, magnificent and beautiful.Allen said softly: "If it wasn't for me, maybe you are still on earth now."

"why would you say so?"

"Now that I have lost contact with the earth and lost in the status quo of not knowing which star field, it has nothing to do with me. Adele, actually..."

Adele suddenly stretched out her hand and tapped Alan’s mouth. The girl shook her head and said, “This is the path I chose. You don’t have to blame yourself for it. Similarly, those who set off with you, I think they also have their own reasons. We, who came together because of our own choice, should have shared everything with you. Otherwise, why should we become your partners?"

"So Alan, all you have to do is lead us down. No matter what the end point is, we are happy to follow, nothing more."

Allen smiled, raised his head and said, "Thank you."

Adele just withdrew her hand, but gave another "Huh".

"What's the matter?" Allen looked at her.

The girl stretched out her hand towards the wilderness under the night: "Is that the light of fire?"

Alan looked in the direction of her fingers. In the distant wilderness, a little orange light appeared very conspicuous.After a while, another point appeared.Then a ignited light appeared, spreading into pieces, roughly estimated to be hundreds of points.

"Our trouble is here." Allen jumped up.
