Chapter 2409 Tax Officials

"We're here. This is the interior hall of Saou City."

In front of the tall house, Berry stopped and introduced to the middle-aged man wearing a monocle next to him.

"I didn't expect that I, who used to be famous in the Freelance Chamber of Commerce, would be reduced to where I am now..." Ander sighed, "City of the Undead... It's better to let me be trapped in a space ring."

"What are you talking about, father?" Berry glanced at him dissatisfied and said angrily, "Do you know how much effort I put in to retrieve that space ring?"

"Yes, yes, my daughter is the best. Why don't you find a way to win over Lord Rhodes, so that I can enjoy the blessings." Ander stretched out his hands and pointed at her hopefully.

Barry puffed his lips, turned his head to the side, and stopped looking at him.

"Are you angry? I didn't mean to say that when I was your age, I got entangled with many aristocratic ladies..." After being glared at by Berry, Ander had no choice but to shut his mouth and stop talking.

"Captain Berry, nice to meet you."

While the two were talking, a burst of greetings interrupted their words. Following the sound, they saw a human-looking woman with a strong magical aura exuding from her body.

"Lord Vita." After seeing the visitor, Berry immediately recognized her identity. "I heard from Lord Rowling that you went to another place for vacation. Did the journey go well?"

"Don't mention it. Not long after I arrived at the Magic Plain, I was kicked back. Something seems to have happened there, and total martial law has been implemented." When mentioning that trip, Vita showed a bit of dissatisfaction and complained.

Soon, her eyes also fell on Ender next to Berry: "This person next to you is..."

"He is my father Ender. He came to serve in the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the order of Lord Rhodes." Berry took the initiative to introduce.

Vita showed an interested look, and he seemed to be valued by Rhodes. It seemed that he had something extraordinary: "What are you good at? Public security? Land planning? Strategic dispatch? These are all positions that are urgently needed in Saou City. .”

Ender waved his hand and said, "Actually, I'm best at identifying treasures. I used to work in the Freelance Chamber of Commerce. If it's a tax issue, I think I can handle it."

"Taxation... The current tax collector in Saou City is in the room at the end of the second corridor. From now on, you can listen to her arrangements. If you have anything you don't know, you can ask her or me directly. ." Vita nodded.

Following Vita's instructions, Ander quickly came to the room where the tax collector was.

In the room, a skeleton was organizing files, and another skeleton was holding a baby and shaking its arms slightly. Ender could even hear the creaking sound of the skeletons shaking, and the necromancer who controlled these skeletons, a The blond human woman was sitting by the window drinking tea leisurely.

"Wish you good luck." Seeing Andre's hopeless look, Berry mocked mercilessly, and then left first.

"Hello, beautiful lady, I am the new tax collector. From now on, we will be responsible for handling the city's taxes together..." After entering the room, Ander greeted him proactively.

"Shh, keep your voice down, you almost woke up Noah." Ender's greeting was immediately replaced by the woman's complaints.

Hearing this, Ander quickly raised his hands to apologize. When the skeleton came to a quiet corner with the baby in his arms, he asked: "Is that your child? He looks very cute."

"Yes. Thank you for your compliment." The blond woman smiled.

"But... do you really want a skeleton to take care of your child? Aren't you afraid of having any bad effects on him, such as having nightmares when he sleeps?" Ender asked tentatively the question in his mind. , it is not a good idea to let a corpse witch whose body is full of death energy take care of a baby who cannot speak yet.

"Don't worry, Noah is also an undead creature. He is very close to those corpse witches." The blond woman replied with a smile.

Ender was suddenly startled. He looked at the baby who had woken up and was stretching out his little hands to grasp the corpse witch's ribs. He finally couldn't sit still. The baby who seemed to be born not long ago turned out to be an undead creature. What on earth was going on? Are there any normal people in this city of the undead?

"You...you transformed him into an undead creature?" Ender asked in disbelief.

The blond woman sighed: "I won't do that. The cursed land of the dead does not allow the birth of new life at all. Noah was very unfortunate. He died as soon as he was born. I thought I would never see him again." Grow up, fortunately Lord Rhodes changed everything."

"Rhode..." After hearing that name from the blonde woman's mouth, Ander couldn't help but frown slightly. His coming here was inseparable from that name.

"Yes. In Lord Rhodes' domain, my child reawakened. Although before that, all the necromancers, even Lord Rowling, concluded that my newborn child's soul was underdeveloped, and even spiritualism was not possible. It couldn't work, but Lord Rhodes, he brought my child back to me."

Looking at the baby not far away, the blonde woman's eyes showed a look of kindness and gratitude. Before that, she had fallen into deep despair and had long given up all hope. However, Rhode's domain completely changed everything.

Listening to the blond woman's story, Ender's expression changed. He didn't expect that the notorious Lord Rhodes actually had such a side. If Ender hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would never have believed it.

"I'm glad you can reunite with your child, and I believe you can make him realize his value." Ander congratulated heartily.

The blond woman laughed and stretched out her hand to Ander: "My name is Leah. I'm glad to have someone to help me. I heard that the tavern in the city has a batch of good wine from the Rare Merchant Group. Why don't you go have a drink later?" How about that? Don’t worry, I’ll treat you this time.”

"The Treasure Merchant Group..." Ander stretched out his hand. He seemed to have thought of something, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Have you ever heard of the Exquisite Merchant Group? I heard that the goods they transported were all rare luxuries. They have already made a lot of gold coins in Saou City. Hmm, why don't we raise taxes and increase the commission? At the same time, how about adding some more items and bleeding them a little bit?" Leah suggested while rubbing her hands.

"...I think we should discuss other things. I have just arrived and I am not familiar with the various situations in Saou City. Can you give me an overview of Saou City's territory?" Ender coughed dryly and hurriedly The conversation between the two led to other places.
