Capítulo 118: Isthmus town

There was no border control guards to control the coming in or going out of the people between the two kingdoms and it had been like that since the founding of the kingdoms.

One could only find a few tax collectors and some knights moving around the market while collecting taxes and if one didn't have the money to pay takes, then they would collect his business and sell it at a throw away price so that the tax money could be found.

"The new design from Litkesh is in town. This shirt is going for 50 silver coins. No discount but if you buy ten pieces, you'll get one free!]

[Winter is coming! This woolen jacket is going for 70 silver coins. I only have the last piece remaining. Buy now or you will miss out. I will not be selling this type of jackets tommorow so buy now or you will never buy them again even if you have money!]

[Boy, that top hat is going for 10 silver coins while that cargo pant that you are holding is going for 50 silver coins.]

[Ooh my fellow farmers! I have the farm tools for you. The original Ox drawn plough from Litkesh is here. Buy a plough and get a hoe for free!]

[You old man! I only have the last underpant remaining. I will not come here tomorrow so, but this underpant or you will miss it. Remember, I am the only person who sells underpants in this market.]

"Brat! Don't play child games with me. I have been collecting taxes for 40 years now. When I started this work of collecting taxes for our kingdom of Azuhai, your father was still playing with the mud, so, pay up now or don't regret for what is to come!" The tax collector said coldly to a boy who was selling cereals and fruits.

The stall of the boy was piled up with different kinds of cereals and fruits and beside his stall on the right side, there was a girl who was also selling the same stuffs as the boy while on the left side of his stall, there was an old man who was only selling fruits. This old man selling the fruits was holding a chillum and his hair was messy as he watched what was going on.

"I have already paid taxes, I won't pay it the second time. Please move aside so that I can serve my customers. You are getting in the way old man." The boy uttered indignantly to the tax collector. He didn't care the presence of the knights. This tax collector had been a pain in his ass and he didn't like it. It was as if the tax collector was taking him like a fool.

"What shows that you have paid?" The tax collector asked with a grin plastered on his face.

The boy pondered for a moment before he said,

"I have nothing to show you... And I don't care. Please, Move aside, you are wasting my time."

"Bu! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Interesting, right? Well..." The tax collector turned to the knights behind him and said,

"Boys... Show him how to be patriotic, next time, he wouldn't be rude to us."

After what the tax collector had said, the knights quickly got into action and they took the stock of fruits and threw them on the road.

Indifferently, the homeless natives quickly run around and collected the fruits that were reeling on the road before they disappeared.

The old man who was selling the fruits was not left out. He joined the homeless natives and quickly collected the rolling fruits and added them to his stock.

"Brat! You want to play games, right? Are you even a native of Azuhai or you are those bastards from Litkesh?" At this point, a crowd had assembled around them and everyone was murmuring.

The knights finally moved to the cereals but just at that moment, a group of boys slipped from the assembled crowd towards the tax collector.

"Old man! Your tricks will end today. Gory(the boy) is one of us and you can't humiliate him in front of us. You have to pay for his loss!" The tallest boy in front of the group said coldly to the tax collector.
