【0464】 Decent Man (4/5)
After paying just one Silver Eagle coin, I met the "decent" Mr. Traton, which was cheap to the point where Yasuo was somewhat surprised.
Although Tukuguer Town is not big, it is the entrance to the entire Tukuguer Basin. The transportation conditions are superior. Can you see the decent people in charge here with a silver eagle coin?
Could this tavern owner be fooling him?
But this is just thinking about it - what Yasuo needs is an opportunity to enter. No matter whether Traton is really decent, a fake, or simply a robber, the gap for Yasuo is actually not big...
In the final analysis, what Yasuo needs is not a decent person, but a local person who is familiar with the local situation and understands who are outsiders.
That's all.
………………………………………
Following Tom, Yasuo and the other three soon met the decent Mr. Traton. After seeing this Traton, Yasuo realized why he was a "decent person".
Although Yasuo didn't know who the office he entered belonged to, he knew Traton's black robe - both the lower lords and sheriffs of Noxus were wearing this!
This guy is clearly the sheriff of Noxus in Turkur - this is really decent!
Good guy, I've been doing it for a long time, is this still the official channel?
But the only thing Yasuo doesn’t want is the official channel!
You know, this time Yasuo's goal was not a hell of fur trade, but a poaching corner - he came to the exiled mage in the political struggle of Noxus, so he pretended to be a small-scale tax evasion merchant and came around the bush to find a way.
As a result, the money was spent, but the Noxus Sheriff’s Officer was?
Just when Yasuo was about to make an excuse to leave, the guy sitting behind the desk stood up after seeing little Tom.
"Are there any customers here again? This person looks like this, he should be here to buy fur, right?"
"Uh, Mr. Traton." Yasuo shook his head, and his refusal was beyond words. "In fact, I am just an investigator."
"Investigator?" Traton frowned, as if he was a little surprised, "Don't you buy it?"
Seeing that Traton seemed to be guilty, the clever little Tom stepped forward and reached out to pull the other person's sleeves. At this time, Traton finally understood the other person's meaning.
The next moment, the decent gentleman laughed, unbuttoned the hole and pulled off the black uniform on his body.
"Didn't notice." Traton was not embarrassed at all by abandoning the robe representing the official identity without any scruples. "That's my part-time job - compared to the masters of the Immortal Fortress, I like you businessmen who can really bring me the Golden Double Eagle!"
“…”
Yasuo did not speak, but stared at the guy in front of him who had abandoned his identity and uniform in a daze. He couldn't react for a moment.
"I didn't want to be a Sheriff," Traton said modestly, throwing his robe on the hanger, "But you guys in the town love you? Everyone doesn't like those masters from the south, so I just took on this burden."
Under Traton's explanation? Yasuo quickly gained a new understanding of him and Turkur.
………………………………………
Yasuo has ever been to the Duower Castle? It was the front line of Noxus against the Frelljord barbarians. In Yasuo's view, the Valrocan family, the local lord of the Duower Castle, had a huge influence, but at least on the surface? They were still subject to the rule of Noxus.
And not long ago? Because he refused to serve the empire, the lord of the Duower Fort was removed, and a woman from the Valrocan family became the local governor.
The Duower Fort was just a little bit self-respecting, so it was directly removed from the lord's organization.
Like Besilico? But because he had different opinions from Choi Falician Parliament? He was directly besieged by Choi Falician, and with his quick look along the way, Yasuo naturally formed the idea that "Noxus has grassroots control power no less than Demacia."
However... the situation in Tukugur is completely different.
This is not the front line of war, but the corner of the empire, responsible for accepting the trash can of exiled prisoners, so Noxus' control over it is actually pitiful.
Like this decent Mr. Traton? Although he is the lord of Tukugur town, unless it is necessary? He is too lazy to deal with the laws of Noxus!
After discovering the smuggling merchant, the loyal lord will choose to follow the clues and eliminate the smuggling channels that damage the interests of the empire.
After a normal lord discovered the smuggling merchant, he would choose to arrest him on the spot, punish him a heavy penalty and hand him over to the Immortal Fortress for credit.
After discovering the smuggling merchant, the bad lord will choose to accept bribes and act as a protective umbrella for the smuggling trade in the local area.
And Traton...
This decent lord was not decent at all.
In front of Yasuo? He concealed that he wanted to take a commission in the form of almost tax collection in trade? But this tax can be compensated in the form of promotional smuggling channels - and in return, he provided Yasuo with a stable source of goods and even forged tax payment certificates.
Good guy, Yasuo couldn't help but be in his heart for the second time!
Local lords cover up smuggling trade, openly collect taxes, forge notes, and also engage in smuggling and bribery refunds to expand smuggling channels... You are really a talented person!
Seeing Traton, who was sitting back in his position and looking "this is the case", Yasuo felt a little sympathetic to Sviin for the first time.
Although Noxus is huge enough, the problems faced by this huge empire are no less than other places!
No wonder Svein wanted to expel those mage elites to the border...
At this moment, Yasuo suddenly had an indescribable enlightenment.
Perhaps in the heart of this commander, if those guys who were exiled by themselves could one day fight back to the Immortal Fortress and defeat themselves, even if they were finished, at least Noxus would have a territory completely stabilized as a result?
After careful temptation, it was confirmed that Traton was indeed making profits for him, Yasuo simply changed his plan.
Since the local "government" in Black Forest is like this, why should I be polite?
If I don’t make good use of it...will I lose a lot?
