CH768 Castin Town Garrison's Demands
***
'Wealth is flowing into this town in ways the magistrate doesn't know about,' Alex mused.
According to the official records, there was supposedly no agriculture within Castin Town—the very argument the five families used to justify not paying taxes.
If that were true, then where were they obtaining milk, honey, and black tea?
Calm Madness!
A cold light flashed through Alex's eyes.
Yet his expression remained composed as he quietly sipped the milk and honey in his cup while he waited.
Soon enough, exactly as he had expected, a group arrived.
"Sir, a group of people identifying themselves as the heads of the five garrison families have come to pay their respects," a Silver Wolf Guard reported.
"Bring them in," Alex said.
A group of nearly a dozen people entered the inn's common hall.
"They are here, Sir Count," the Silver Wolf Guard announced.
