Chapter 62 Inventory of Legacy
Chapter 62 Inventory of Legacy
The time soon came to the afternoon of the next day.
Thanos is in the research room on the bottom three floors of Peart's house, looking at the information in front of him with relish.
Corrosion and evolution of dead bodies by microorganisms in soil.
Attraction and transformation of the magnetotelluric field.
The effect of gravity on matter and mass.
Unexpectedly, although this guy is not smart, he is quite good at research.
Some theoretical knowledge about the earth system has even reached the level of a formal wizard.
But unfortunately, the research materials of official wizards are already difficult to measure with gold coins.
Because official wizards trade with magic stones, and they start with intermediate magic stones.
A low-level magic stone costs about ten gold coins, while a mid-level magic stone starts at gold coins, and there is no market price.
And high-level magic stones have never appeared in the market, and they are all digested by wizards internally.
I heard that further up, there is something called magic crystal, which is basically used by senior wizards.
Gold coins are always only used by mortals and wizard apprentices.
Shaking his head, he picked up another book and began to look at it.
The proof and theory of the birth of the soul from the earth.
This book is interesting, and it seems to be helpful to some of my theories.
In fact, the wizard can be said to be an all-round profession.
The differentiation of flame, ice, life, earth, light, shadow, etc. is just to make it easier for wizard apprentices to get started.
At the end of the wizard, all factions will be involved, and all factions will learn, but there will be a bias.
Therefore, it is normal for wizards of the earth department to study souls.
"Dong dong..."
At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"Come in."
Soon, Sarah pushed the door open and entered.
She looked tired and her hair was a bit messy, but her eyes were full of energy.
"My lord, the civilians in Menghua Town have calmed down, and there is no major disturbance."
Thanos nodded and asked without raising his head: "Well, as we said before, you will be the mayor of Menghua Town in the future."
I am a wizard apprentice, and I will only become a wizard in the future, not a mayor, let alone a role like a city lord.
Secular things will take up your time and will reduce your time for research and experimentation.
This is simply putting the cart before the horse.
Before, I had no choice but to deal with worldly affairs in order to obtain enough resources.
But now that the situation is a little more stable, we must continue to study and learn knowledge.
When Sarah heard this, she immediately trembled with excitement.
It's a pity that Thanos has been reading all the time, otherwise he would have seen the ball vibrating.
"Mayor, you are really the kindest person in the world."
For Thanos, worldly things are trouble, but for her, it represents power and money.
At this point, she even had the idea of dedicating herself.
But looking at the woman in the corner of his eyes, he immediately calmed down.
That woman named Malika is so beautiful that she is not human, and she has been brought by the adults all the time, so the adults probably don't think much of her.
After all, she is not a wizard, her skin will age when she gets older, and she cannot be compared with young people at all.
Of course, except for some people with special hobbies.
But adults are obviously not such people.
"Anything else?"
At this time, Thanos seemed to feel that Sarah hadn't left for a long time, so he put down the information in his hand and looked at him.
When Sarah heard this, she immediately said, "My lord, I found that the taxation in Menghua Town is a bit messy, and I want to change it."
"It's all in your hands, you can figure it out yourself."
After Thanos finished speaking, he continued to look down at the information.
Although these research materials can't change the research results and strength for him for the time being, but with his photographic memory, as long as he remembers them, if he starts to study the earth system in the future, he will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Seeing this, Sarah left the basement wisely, not disturbing the adults' research anymore.
Soon it was afternoon again.
"Dong dong."
There was another knock on the door.
"Come in."
Soon, Sumante pushed the door open and entered.
"My lord, all the administrators and Peart's properties in the town have been handpicked."
Hearing this, Thanos finally raised his head from the book, and asked with great interest, "Oh? How many gold coins are there?"
Apart from undead and research, probably he is most interested in gold coins.
No way, only gold coins can support his research.
Hearing this, Sumante lowered his head and said, "My lord, there are 320 seven gold coins in total, and the rest of the antiques and cultural relics have not been counted yet."
Of course, this world also has antiques and cultural relics.
But these things are inexpensive and only of interest to mortals.
In the past, these things were more expensive, but since a certain wizard made antiques that looked like real ones.
The price of antiques naturally plummeted, falling to the point where wizards would lose money if they falsified antiques.
So Thanos didn't feel much when he heard about cultural relics and antiques.
"Why is there only so much?"
Anyway, Menghua Town is also a small town with a population of more than 3000, which is twice the size of Zixi Town.
How could there be only more than 300 gold coins?
Could it be that Sumante didn't manage his subordinates well?
No, there is no need to question Sumante's loyalty. After all, the other party has followed him from the Homan Continent to the Proworld, and he has not given up on him at the most dangerous moment. How could he do such a stupid thing now.
"My lord, this is the result of Peart's long-term exploitation"
After a while, Thanos understood what was going on.
It turns out that in order to get more gold coins, Peart increased a lot of taxes.
What haircut tax, sleeping tax, pet tax, and even toilet tax.
Therefore, internal affairs personnel naturally have nothing to gain.
Of course, the internal affairs personnel also reported this kind of thing to Fengling City, but because Pearte has connections in Fengling City, and 50.00% of the tax collected will be handed over to Fengling City, so Fengling City naturally turned a blind eye to it. Only eyes.
Hearing this, Thanos suddenly felt as if a door to a new world had been opened, and his eyes lit up.
"It turns out that you can still make money like this."
But soon, he shook his head.
"No wonder Sarah said just now that she wants to change the tax system. This approach is to overdraw the hearts of the people. Once something unexpected happens, it will be the result of betrayal."
Thinking of the day before yesterday, when the soldiers in Menghua Town gave up defending the city, they understood.
Except that the pressure is too great, there may not be no unpopular results for Peart.
After thinking about it, he said: "Sara will take care of the tax issue, if it's all right, you can take someone back to Zixi Town to sit in charge first.
After all, apart from you, I don't worry about anyone else. "
Zixi Town can almost be said to be the front line facing the aborigines. Only when Sumante sits in the town can he stay in Menghua Town and read Peart's legacy with peace of mind.
After absorbing these inheritances, he will go to Zixi Town to continue the construction of the Spiritual Pagoda.
Because in his eyes, knowledge is above all else.
Only knowledge can make him stronger and even transcend this world.
