Chapter 21 Xavier
The hunter Vito led the way, and Ender followed behind with his bags, and the two walked towards the direction where Xavier's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's
Along the way, perhaps because of seeing the attitude of the tourer Bo Qisi towards Ender with his own eyes, the hunter Vito was much more intimate than just now. Not only did he talk and laugh with Ender, but he also took the initiative to introduce the benefits of becoming a hunter to Ender.
"Xavier's jurisdiction is rich in blue mushrooms, pine nuts and black thorns, and there are also many pheasants and deer. Sometimes there are snow foxes. If the fur of the snow fox is complete, it will be worth at least ten gold coins. By the way, Ender, do you know the rules of the hunter?"
"I only know some of the most basic contents. You cannot hunt mother beasts, especially pregnant mother beasts, right?" Since Ande participated in the hunter assessment, he naturally paid attention to some common sense.
"Except for pregnant female animals that cannot be beaten, unless the Baron organizes spring hunting, no one can hunt in spring, because spring is the season for animal mating and breeding - but rabbits and other things can still be beaten, but large prey such as deer and wild boars must not be beaten."
Vito turned around and said to Ender seriously.
Hunter Vito is a middle-aged man with a 1.7-meter-tall black complexion. He is wearing a pair of long deerskin boots, a hunting knife and a bow and arrow, and a roll of rope hanging around his waist.
"Are these big preys to be kept for the lord?" Ender asked.
"Yes, the lord may organize hunting in spring and autumn every year. In order to ensure that there is always enough prey in the forest, it is not possible to hunt in spring." Vito nodded.
"Also, the prey you hunt can be sold in the town, but you have to pay one-third of the price to the tax officer, and the others belong to you; if someone collects herbs or something in your jurisdiction, you need to obtain your permission first, and you need to give it to one-third of the harvest. The other third of the tax officer needs to take it away, and the collector can only leave the last third. Of course, if it is the harvest you collect by yourself, you only need to pay one-third to the tax officer."
"In the end, all the income we guard hunters earned from our jurisdiction will be given to Bo Qisi by one third. This is not only the money given to him alone, but also the bonus for those inspectors - without them regularly sweep dangerous creatures, we would be very dangerous."
Hunter Vito specifically explained why money must be distributed to the inspector hunter.
Surveillance and regular sweep of forests by patrol hunters is extremely important to the safety of these hunters.
Some people once believed that having guard hunters stationed on the edge of the territory was enough to deal with a small number of goblins and wild beasts. If the situation was serious, the regular army could also support it at any time, so it was recommended to cancel the inspection hunter establishment.
As a result, in less than three years, a medium-sized goblin tribe was born on the edge of the territory, and even many bear goblins were produced. If the Telligan adventure team had not discovered it in time, it would not have been so easy to deal with when the goblin tribe grew further.
Such words are not suitable for saying from Bo Qisi, but Vito, as a guard hunter, also has to pay one-third of the income. It is easier for him to say these words.
"This is very reasonable." Ender agreed.
Vito breathed a sigh of relief.
For ordinary hunters, having this bad luck is just about luck. If you ask you to pay, you will pay. If you don’t pay, you will get out of here. There is no need to explain so much;
But this young Ander was obviously a little different. Even the cold tourer, Lord Bai Qisi, had to show his intimacy. If he refused to pay the money, what would Vito dare to do to him?
It’s not that it can only be shared by the remaining guard hunters - in this world, as long as you are strong enough, privileges will always be reflected in all aspects.
In fact, it was not until Vito talked about the various privileges and extra income of the hunter that Ender understood why such a miserable profession was considered a decent profession by everyone!
Hunters have great control over the various materials produced in the forest areas under the jurisdiction of each hunter, which can be regarded as a weakened version of territory.
If it weren't for such a benefit, how could a position that was stationed alone on the edge of the territory and had to fight with beasts and goblins from time to time and had few chances to go home?
From this point of view, if Tilligan had not been exerted behind the scenes, Ender would have been very likely to have a bad reputation.
As for paying money to the inspected hunters, it was a disguised protection fee, which was exchanged for by others' lives. Bai Qisi meant that he would become a member of the inspected hunters in the future. When he thought about this, Ander would have no objection.
Vito breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he should think of some ways to save money for Ender: "However, if we can do it a little more concealedly, we can actually save a third of the tax officer. However, we cannot be too much, and it will be troublesome to be seized by the tax officer."
Vitto came up with an idea, but he was a little worried and finally added.
In the eyes of ordinary people, tax evasion is not shameful, but the shame is being caught. If you are not caught, others will only praise you for being smart.
But Ender is not prepared to evade taxes.
The consequences of being caught and evading tax are very serious. Not only is there a danger of going to prison, but it will also delay Ander from obtaining a free citizenship status.

However, because this is the edge of the territory, there are no formal roads, only some paths that go around, and some places have to cross bushes and streams.
So Ender followed the hunter Vito from morning to afternoon before he arrived at his destination.
Xavier's Hunter's Hunter is located at the top of a low mound. It is about two miles away from the low mound, each with a hill, which is just sandwiched between.
From the appearance, Xavier's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter's Hunter is built at the junction of the woods, while Xavier's Hunter's Hunter is built outside the woods, which is thirty meters away from the nearest trees, and there is a fence outside the house.
"Xavier Xavier? Uncle Xavier? I'm taking the newcomer to take over." Seeing the Hunter's Hunter in the distance, Vito shouted loudly from afar.
Then he turned his head and explained to Ender: "When approaching the Hunter's Lodge, you must say hello from afar, especially when the sight is bad in the evening - we hunters are stationed alone, and we must be vigilant. For those who approach quietly without saying a word, we will treat them as enemies."
"Vito, you're finally here. Who is this young man next to you?" A strong and grey old man walked out of the wooden house and shouted in a loud voice that was no less than Vito.
"It's Ender, that's Ender who invented the water tank. Bo Qisi arranged for him to pick up your shift." Vito said loudly.
"End? Are you that smart orphan, Ender? You are not staying comfortably in Reulter's hotel, why do you run here to endure hardship?" Xavier asked in surprise.
The hunter's income is of course good, but it's much worse than that of the Reult Hotel.
"Mr. Xavier, I hope that one day in the future, I can see the world everywhere, so I need a free citizenship." Ender never concealed his ambitions.
"Another young man who knows nothing about life and death!" Xavier said to himself.
Maybe it was because he had been alone for a long time and the hunters were very loud, so Xavier thought he was not loud and he could hear it clearly, but both Vito and Ender could hear it clearly.
Vito explained to Ender awkwardly: "Old Xavier originally wanted to pass the position of hunter to his son, but his son Hanks said he wanted to see the outside world, left a letter and left. There is no news yet, so Old Xavier was particularly unhelpful to the young people saying they were going to explore the world."
Ender nodded in understanding.
His parents are here and don't travel far away. He left his father alone in his hometown and went out to explore without even a word. Hanks is also unfilial.
"Okay, Vito, you don't need to say good things to me. I just can't bear to see the young man knowing the world. My bastard son doesn't know where he died. I've long since not expecting him to come back."
"Okay, young man, no matter what the future will be, the old man has a lot to tell you now. Vito, you should go back first. It's getting late. If you don't leave, you will have to go to the night. Leave this kid to me, I will take care of him."
Xavier said, walking to the edge of the fence, taking a hanging rope from the bottom of the fence, and then pulling open the fence door and letting Ander in.
"Then Uncle Xavier, I'll go back first?" Vito said without following in. He stood outside the fence.
"Let's go, go, hurry up, the road will be difficult to walk when it gets dark." Xavier waved his hand and asked Vito to set off on the road quickly.
Then he turned around and said to Ander, who was carrying a baggage, "Follow me and pay attention to my feet. There are a few traps here, don't step on those stone slabs."
The stone slabs Xavier mentioned formed a small path leading to the wooden house gate. Ender thought it was the stones that were cushioning when it rained, but when the senior hunter said it, it turned out to be some traps.
He couldn't help but glance at the senior.
"Do you think the old man is too careful? Hahaha, just be careful!" Looking at Ender's face, Xavier burst into laughter.
"In the past thirty years, eleven of the guardian hunters and patrol hunters have died. How do you guess they died?"
Ender shook his head.
"They are all stupid! Rocco is a third-level warrior, but he was touched by the goblins in the middle of the night and cut his throat; Vito's father, Old Vito, fell into the pit dug by the goblins while patrolling the forest area, and died in the hands of the goblins; Well, not only hunters, but also adventurers of the fourth-level warrior died in the hands of the goblins a few years ago."
"I tell you, nine of the eleven hunters died at the hands of goblins. They could save their lives by just a little bit of caution. What's the result? They died one by one in the hands of their three goblins who could strangle them with one hand. Are you funny? Hahaha--"
