After going through this idea in his mind, Wang Xing did not introduce his origin in detail, nor did he directly make it up.
He doesn't know much about the world yet, so saying nothing is the way to minimize the problem.
Just when Wang Xing was about to open his mouth, an idea suddenly flashed in his heart.
He just asked the village chief about many things, including miscellaneous matters and his own speculations about the forces in the surrounding environment. There used to be stories from all over the kingdom many years ago, boasting about how powerful the kingdom was when it was strong.
In the story, it is not the most powerful witch signing with the kingdom, but the powerful witch, as a local representative, signing an agreement with the local lord not to attack each other.
And now after so many years, who knows if the most powerful witch is dead. Even if she is not dead, the witch is causing trouble in various places nearby and has already violated the agreement she made.
It just so happened that the mercenaries who came to escort were not the tax officer's men, but the tax officer.
This time, Wang Xing looked at each mercenary carefully.
Although Wang Xing's eyes did not radiate any power, Wang Xing's powerful spirit, will and physical presence still made these people feel tremendous pressure.
After Wang Xing checked the strength of these people, he came to an unexpected conclusion.
The cavalry in front of them all had more or less signs of injury, and the carriages they sat facing each other were considered troop carriers, and there were still a few wounded people lying on them. The infantrymen following behind were not tired from running, but had actually fought.
Therefore, Wang Xing judged that these people should have really fought with someone halfway.
Wang Xing suddenly asked: "Next, will the village send people to transport food? How many times?"
Although Wang Xing could tell at a glance that he was not from the village, concealing some information that could be easily investigated in front of a strong man would not do any good to his own life.
So Hu Jie still told the truth.
The village's grain is required for three years this year, but no tax will be collected for the next five years. As for transportation, the villagers, remaining mercenaries, and some remaining soldiers will be escorted to a safe town, and then uniformly deployed to the town with the largest forest near the bureau.
The thoughts in Wang Xing's mind suddenly became clearer.
'What's the point of asking for food for several more years and then allocating it to the place closest to the forest? '
What else could this be for? Wang Xing didn't even need to think about it. Having survived in chaos all year round, he was sure that these were obviously local people who had begun to organize defense lines and forces, squeeze food, and create a front and rear.
If the situation gets serious, the lord and the witch will start fighting. Even if the situation is not so serious, the witch will definitely be punished for violating the rules, and there will be several fights.
After understanding this, Wang Xing no longer asked, but gave these people something to think about, and at the same time gave him a market.
"During this period, I will stay nearby. You tell them that a single witch, even if she can summon demons to help, will not be my opponent. If you need my help, come with sincerity."
After hearing Wang Xing's words, Hu Jie did not refute, but put his hand on his chest and nodded slightly to show respect for Wang Xing, but he was not too humble and flattering.
Also while Wang Xing was talking, from the wooden house opposite, the guy who was looking at people through his nostrils also opened the door and strode out.
"It would be great for this powerful man with enough sacred marks on his weapon to get your help." The tax official said, "I wonder which witch you bumped into when you were traveling yesterday?"
"An old woman, protected by several tauren, but they are all dead."
Before Wang Xing could speak, the girl Mei Mei who was eating and drinking carefully behind Wang Xing couldn't help but spoke.
At this opening, the tax officer was shocked. The village chief who stood aside and smiled apologetically remained silent, but suddenly thought of something and his expression changed slightly.
"this……"
The silence did not last for a moment. The tax collector took a step back and opened the door behind him.
"This strong man, please come here and speak."
Wang Xing walked over directly with his weapon in hand. On the way, the soldiers wanted Wang Xing to put down his weapon, but the tax officer scolded him and stood at the door. As for the village chief, he was assigned to prepare food for the past few years.
Although some parts of the conversation were beyond Wang Xing's expectations, he directly stated his purpose and strength, and after showing it, the unimpressive tax official clearly affirmed Wang Xing's strength.
And in the evening, Hu Jie's men who went out clearly found traces of the battle, and traces of the death of the witch and her minions at the scene.
After many confirmations, Wang Xing also knew that the person he killed was considered a big shot in the neighborhood.
Through the tax collector Wang Xing, he learned about the emergence of the witch group and the entanglements among the people in the territory. Wang Xing doesn't care about the process, he only needs to know that today's witches capture children in order to select those with strong talents and let them inherit the mantle of the witch.
The witch he killed was the witch who had been humiliated in the village. After becoming a witch, she took crazy revenge on her enemies and killed her family members who had insulted her and then sent them out as sacrifices.
As for why the other party knew so clearly, it was because they had gained insight among witches, attended witch gatherings, heard many stories, and knew what the witches nearby were like.
Next, the lord will unite with the church to send experts to jointly exterminate these witches.
Although ordinary people don't know it, when the tax officer came out this time, he brought many treasures and lists with him.
The witch Wang Xing killed had a bounty on the list and could enslave a large number of demons, causing great harm. It would take at least a group of mercenary-level masters like Hu Jie and more than a hundred infantrymen and elite soldiers to surround her. Big target to kill.
The tax official did not play tricks with Wang Xing, but actually gave him the amount of the reward.
In addition to a bag of coins, there is also a treasure that experts would be jealous of, a synthetic stone.
Wang Xing got a lot of information from the tax officer, and he was clearly confirmed by the tax officer. The tax collector is a person who belongs to the lord. If Wang Xing goes to that town with him, he will definitely be put to good use.
After Wang Xing refused, the other party still said that Hu Jie and others would be dispatched here in a few days, and a group of elite soldiers and militiamen would be mobilized, hoping that Wang Xing could lead this group of experts to continue to kill the witches.
As for the reward, there will be more than what is said.
