Chapter 1328 Target, Yingzhou Island
"able!"
The old butler said, "But I am on the same level as the main city guards. Please consider it carefully before beating me..."
Wang Yu: “…”
Grandma, this old man is just a pure hob, not eating soft and hard, and I don’t know what the game planners have experienced, but he actually designed the old man to look shameless.
Just when Wang Yu and the old housekeeper were talking nonsense, Wuji suddenly asked: "The pirates have occupied Harbor City for many years, Harbor City has also received taxes."
"Huh?" Hearing Wuji's words, the old housekeeper raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes suddenly became solemn, and then he stared at Wuji and said, "Not bad!"
"Haha!" Wuji smiled faintly, took out a bag of gold coins and said, "Then can you tell me who collected this tax?"
"Ha ha!"
The old housekeeper laughed, took the purse from Wuji and said, "What a smart child."
After saying that, he did not forget to despise Wang Yu and said, "It's not like you, I still want to fight with me."
"Uh..." Wang Yu's face turned red when he was despised.
At this time, the old housekeeper said slowly: "Yes, Harbour City has always had taxes over the years."
"A bunch of pirates still pay taxes?"
After hearing what the old butler said, everyone in the Quanzhen Sect was dumbfounded.
It would be reasonable to say that if the legal city pays taxes, these pirates are just thieves who rob families, so why is it so formal?
"Of course the pirates are unwilling to pay taxes!" said the old housekeeper: "But they just occupied Harbor City. The lord of Harbor City is not them, so they naturally have to pay taxes according to the rules."
"Oh...so that's it!"
When the old butler said this, Wang Yu suddenly realized: "According to what you said, the seal of the Harbor City Lord is on the tax collector?"
Taxation is the right that the city lord should enjoy, and only those who have the city lord's seal deserve this right.
The old housekeeper just said that there was no seal, and he didn't say who didn't... It's still a bit difficult to deceive Wuji with this kind of text game of changing concepts. After all, Wuji is also an expert in this art.
"good!"
Sure enough, the old butler nodded and said, "Three hundred years ago, Harbor City was attacked by pirates. The former lord of Harbor City, Carl, left all the people in the city and fled alone with the lord's seal. His whereabouts are still unknown."
"Where is unknown?" Mingdu smiled from the side and said, "If you are missing, you still pay taxes? I'm afraid you are not being eaten by you, the old man."
"That would be great!"
The old butler resented: "According to the system setting, taxes will be transferred to the account of the city lord seal holder every month. All the civil servants in our Harbor City are pointing to tax life. I am poor that I am a big deal that has been owed hundreds of years of wages."
"Tsk tsk tsk"
When Wang Yu heard the old man on the housekeeper's words, he couldn't help but sigh.
The system masters set the rules. As the indigenous people in the game, NPCs have to abide by the rules. I didn’t expect that wage arrears can also happen in the game, and this delay lasts for hundreds of years.
Hundreds of years, this old guy is really alive.
However, since ancient times, there has been no good ending for those who arrears of wages. I remember that Principal Jiang owed Taizu's salary and finally even the world was robbed by Taizu. This is a vivid example.
No wonder the pirates have been here for many years, and the residents of Harbour City have not resisted...
"Young city lord." The old housekeeper begged: "Can you help me get justice?"
System prompt: You triggered the third stage of the "Lost City Lord Seal" task of the main city mission "Dangerous Wall", and do you accept it?
"this……"
Most of the early tasks in "Rebirth" are mainly combat-oriented, and the later the task mode becomes more and more bizarre, especially the object-seeking task. To be honest, Wang Yu himself is very disgusted with this task.
With Wang Yu's level, no matter how difficult the task is, it is not a problem, but finding something... it is a bit painful.
The former city lord who was cheating has been missing for three hundred years. Not to mention the size of the world, it is difficult to find someone who has been silent for three hundred years in the vast crowd. Even if you find it, it will probably be cold for 800 years.
But Wang Yu knew exactly what the first two rings of this mission were like. He had to accept this broken mission if he didn't, otherwise he might be cheated.
"Why!"
Wang Yu sighed and clicked to pick it up.
System prompt: You have accepted the third stage of the hidden city lord mission "Dangerous Wall" task "Lost City Lord Seal" task level a.
Mission requirements: Retrieve the city lord's seal and re-pay the city lord's housekeeper's salary.
Task Tips: This task is difficult, please call your companions to go with you, and the team is limited to 15 people.
Looking at the content of the mission, Wang Yu asked the old butler speechlessly: "This world is so big, you won't plan to let me search it all. If you have any clues, this is not just my business, but your salary."
"Haha!" The old housekeeper smiled faintly: "I heard the pirates say a month ago that I seemed to have met Lord Carl on Yingzhou Island. You can go there first."
"Yingzhou Island?" Wang Yu frowned and asked, "Where is that?"
"It's the 17th District of the Braves!" Wuji said on the side: "It's the legendary Japanese server!"
"Japanese service?"
Wang Yu said a little surprised: "Do you have to cross servers to do a task?"
"Yeah!" Wuji said confidently: "If I guess correctly, this task chain is to open the national server and Japanese server routes."
Wuji is an old player and knows the little tricks of game planners.
The official data communication roughly means that servers that had no connection in the past are now in the same world, but the routes between servers have to be explored and done by players to open up the tasks themselves.
The sea road obtained by Wang Yu in the previous mission was the route between the national server and the Japanese server. However, in the background plot, the sea road has been idle for three hundred years, and now this task is set to open up the sea road.
"Then how should we go to Yingzhou Island now?" Ji Ao approached and asked.
The old man on the housekeeper said: "There is a cargo ship at the port, which was intercepted by the pirates back then. You may be able to take that ship to sea."
Yes, even the ship is ready. The nature of this task is indeed as Wuji said. Finding the former city lord is secondary, and its main function is to reopen the road to the sea.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Quanzhen Sect and his group found the cargo ship at the port location according to the instructions of the old man on the butler.
The cargo ship was still very large to be kept by the pirates, but it had been stranded for three hundred years and looked a little unoptimistic.
In order to highlight the broken words of this 300-year-old cargo ship, the planners were too old. When walking on the deck, everyone could hear the creaking sound. Yin Laoer, a heavy profession, was afraid of trampling the deck.
