The witch thought I am a Demon God

At the gate of Cali town, the inspector in charge of tax collection, a slightly stout middle-aged man, reprimanded several soldiers around him: Mr. Mayor, you are really feeding you in vain.

Are you working for the Lord of all creation? Are you loving priests!

Are you doing charity?

That group of small businessmen who passed by just now, you at least underpaid them 1 shilling in tax.

The inspector cursed casually without caring about his appearance: I asked you to be at the gate of the town because you know the prices of nearby crops and the prices of industries in the town. It is because you are all flexible people. Who knows that each of you is like a wooden man? of.

Do you know that with good taxes, we can make a fortune? Whose pocket will the extra money go into?

Stop doing charity.

Look, another enemy is here. Let me show you how to collect transit tax.

The five soldiers guarding the town gate looked at each other.

One soldier looked angry. But... sir, that is a carriage. At first glance, it seems that there are only people in it.

They don't come to our town to do business, so how can you charge them transit tax?

Transit tax is actually a commercial tax.

Establishing this kind of tax is actually an art.

Because if the business tax is too high, no small and medium-sized businessmen will be willing to come to your town, and you will get nothing, shooting yourself in the foot.

But if the commercial tax collected is too low, far lower than that of nearby towns, then it will really be taken advantage of.

It is simply paying an IQ tax to the Lord of all things.

However, travelers passing by generally do not need to pay transit tax, because travelers must spend money when coming to your town, including food and accommodation.

When people come to your place, they have already contributed to the economy of your town.

Only a few very strange land lords and nobles would collect taxes from travelers passing through their territories.

In the end, his territory became barren and became a lonely wilderness, bypassed by everyone who passed by.

The inspector rolled his eyes at the soldier. If you follow the rules, you won't get anything done. If you dare to talk nonsense again, just leave this post and go to guard the public toilets in the town.

The soldier turned pale and did not dare to speak.

The inspector sneered at the other four soldiers: It's only with one carriage that we can collect the transit tax.

How many people can sit in a carriage? I reckon they took five people at most.

One of them is a maid who drives a car, and she has no fighting ability.

What I bully are the weak ones. We need to be more vicious and squeeze them. If they don't obey, we can even directly kill people and seize goods.

The soldiers had different expressions on their faces.

In this world without cameras or phones, it is very easy to kill people, steal goods, and destroy corpses to eliminate traces.

The nobles and soldiers who collect taxes often suddenly act like robbers when there are few people.

Maid Alicia stopped the carriage at the gate of the town, and her little son looked at the soldiers, a little frightened.

Just watch and learn from me. The inspector walked over to the carriage, lifted the curtains of the carriage, and scanned the interior of the carriage with his eyes, but his mouth moved first.

Um……

Shipping peppers, I think you have to pay at least 10 shillings in tax.

The soldiers not far away felt really cruel after hearing this.

This is really a robbery.

It's obvious that he is bullying people.

In the carriage, the four people looked strange.

Hei Lang and Lei Li never thought that one day they would be robbed when they entered the town gate.

It's normal. If they step off the carriage, they will look like elite warriors. Who dares to embarrass them?

The big witch looked at the inspector with a look that said, You have the courage to commit suicide.

Iveta was stunned for a moment, wondering where the chili peppers came from in the carriage, and then he realized that someone was trying to rob them.

To rob this cart... warriors, witchers, witches and wizards?

? ?

After the inspector saw the people inside the carriage, his first reaction was, well, there were indeed only four people inside the carriage.

Including the maid driving outside the carriage, there were five people in total.

He guessed correctly. He was really an experienced middle-aged warrior.

The inspector simply ignored the child Alicia was bringing.

In his eyes, boys under the age of seven are not human beings and can be ignored.

Then, the inspector suddenly realized something was not quite right.

As for people, there are indeed only five people.

It's just that something's not right about this situation.

He saw that Rayleigh was carrying a short sword and his hands were covered with sword calluses, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

He saw an exaggerated two-handed sword on the back of the black wolf, a sharp dagger on his waist, wearing the characteristic leather armor of a witcher, and his mouth opened wide.

When he saw the Hearthstone Witch, he almost screamed.

Witch!

And the shiny jewelry Ivita wore made it clear at a glance that her identity was not simple, and it even made the middle-aged warrior feel chilly.

Witches and witchers!

They actually want to enter this small town with only more than 2,000 people!

Moreover, he actually got close to this dangerous carriage!

Oh my God!

Lord of all things, please bless me. I will definitely pay some IQ tax to you every day from now on...

No, I donate money to the church every month.

The inspector was trembling with fear. He wanted to shout for the five soldiers behind him to come to support. He wanted to ask the sentry to use the piccolo to notify the city guard.

He opened his mouth, moved his tongue, and the sound was about to pass through his throat and come out.

The Great Witch of Hearthstone: Your Majesty.

At this time, Iveta rotated the ring on the little finger of her right hand twice and recited a spell at the same time.

The square ink jade on the ring is rotating and flashing with a strange color.

The inspector subconsciously lowered his head to look at the ring on Ivita's hand, and then a strange color flashed in his eyes. The brown pupils were quickly contaminated by the dark ink, turning into completely black eye color, and then the eye color returned to Brown.

The inspector's fat face struggled several times, and finally his expression became slightly dull.

The Great Witch of Hearthstone congratulated Ivita: Your Majesty, you successfully used your first magic.

Now that the charm has taken control of his mind, he will act according to your wishes.

Ivita looked at the Inspector. After using the ring, he knew that this magical item could only be used once a day.

But now the inspector is indeed different, his expression is no longer fierce, and his face is even a little cute because of his dull expression.

This guy was like a dog caught in a collar by himself, and he had completely obeyed him.

I seem to have some vague spiritual connection with him, and I can give him some very vague orders.

But at the same time, he also found that this connection was relatively weak. As long as half a day passed, the effect of this spell would be automatically lifted.

At the same time, if this guy is suddenly stimulated by an external force, he should be able to get rid of the state of mind control.

In addition, his dull expression is too easy for others to spot.

But it's enough.

Anyway, as long as they can get into the city without any trouble.

The inspector said blankly: After inspection, there is nothing wrong with the carriage, and there is no merchandise. Moreover, the people sitting here are noble gentlemen who cannot be offended.

Open the town gate and let a few adults pass.

The soldiers not far away were stunned and looked at each other. They didn't even open the door for a while because the order was too strange.

A moment ago, the auditor had vowed to demonstrate his art of tax collection.

The next moment, his attitude changed drastically.

The inspector turned around, got out of the carriage, and shouted angrily. Hurry up and open the door!

How dare you refuse the commander's order! Do you all want to guard the toilet?

The soldiers rushed to open the door.

In the carriage, Black Wolf and Rayleigh were amazed at the effect of the charm spell.

This spell is so powerful!

Iveta suddenly had the idea that she was short of money.

Now that the auditor has been manipulated, it is time to make the most of it and squeeze out all the value from him.

Under Ivita's instructions, the inspector opened the curtain of the carriage and said respectfully: Sir, this is the money I have on me - 12 shillings and 8 pence.

Please accept it.

Iveta took the bag he handed over with a smile.

Just like this, the carriage slowly drove into the open town gate. Not only did they not pay a penny after entering the town, the chief here even gave them 12 shillings and 8 pence.

After the carriage left, the five soldiers looked at the inspector with a look that said he was crazy.

Didn’t you agree to teach them how to make dirty money?

Sir, why do you still give money to others?

Are you paying an IQ tax to the Lord of All Creation?

A soldier suddenly felt that this officer was probably crazy, and he had to seize this golden opportunity.

If you don't do something while the officer is going crazy, he won't be a human being.

He rubbed his hands and said, Sir, my family is also short of money. Can you also give me some money?

You gave money to unrelated passers-by, but I am your confidant.

You can't forget me...

The inspector's eyes widened, as if he were meeting this soldier for the first time, and he took two steps back. You want me to give you money? Did I hear you correctly?

How dare you ask me to give you money!

Are you crazy, or is there something wrong with my ears? Who gave you the courage to ask me to give you money!

I didn't give any money to passers-by at all.

And you...go clean the toilet from now on!

The soldier is going crazy, what's going on!

He wanted to cry but had no tears. No, no, no... Sir, misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding...

What the soldier didn't know was that Ivita had lifted the charm spell immediately after entering the town.

Because the charm state has been maintained, it is inevitable that no one will notice it, so I simply cancel it.

After the charm spell was lifted, the inspector naturally regained his consciousness instead of being in a daze.
