Capítulo 72: Chapter 72 Official Framework

```

Leaving Fluorescent Castle, Russell did not immediately return to his own fief but took a detour to the town instead.

There in the town hall, he met with Bencote, the mayor of Glowing Valley, a middle-aged man around forty with two nice-looking mustaches.

"Mr. Russell, welcome to the town hall," Bencote said with a perfunctory invitation, "May I ask if there is anything I can help you with?"

As an official of the fief, he was loyal only to Baron Roman and his heir, Roland.

"Mayor Bencote, I would like to invite caravans to Wuyao Snake Manor," Russell said bluntly, "The manor's small marketplace is being rebuilt, and henceforth, when caravans come each month, they can sell at Wuyao Snake Manor, and I will exempt them from taxes."

Merchant tax is a very important tax for a lord, including toll tax, import tax, export tax, and so on.

Every time caravans pass through Glowing Valley, they must pay taxes to Fluorescent Castle.
