Chapter 202 (1/2)

”First, what can I do?” As soon as Dewey came down, he became interested.

Not a single gold coin from now on?

”I've come up with it these days. It's absolutely impossible for those warlords to get a gold coin from us! It's just... I'm afraid that such a practice will completely irritate the northwest army. Now our strength is not strong enough, if we turn against them... ”Philip hesitated for a moment, then said:” that day I saw you show your great magic power in Loulan lake, I suddenly thought of a way... This way, you can bypass that damned temporary order! ” The young man brightened his eyes and said with a smile, ”but I've also taken advantage of the imperial law.”

Take advantage of the law?

Dewey's eyes are bright. He likes this style!

”My Lord, have you forgotten your other identity? You are a magician!”

Philip had a sly smile on his lips.

Du Wei is slightly a Zheng, immediately suddenly thought of a law that he never seemed to care about!

Roland Empire, the ”wizard's privilege clause” in the imperial code!

The prosperous magic civilization in Roland, the powerful power and rare number of magicians, make them get a high status. No matter where they are, magicians will get the best treatment and respect, and be revered.

And the Empire even made some preferential terms for the magicians in the code!

As mentioned earlier, there was an outstanding emperor in the history of Roland Empire who said in private: no one can be above the law, except the Emperor himself... And the other exception is the magician!

The special preferential treatment enjoyed by magicians in the law is that they are not bound by the common law! Magicians will not be judged by the imperial authorities! Magicians are bound by the mainland magic trade union. If there are magicians who commit crimes, the imperial government can not judge them except the magic trade union.

Like when Dewey was hijacked by a magician. Imperial officials once had a lot of war with the magic trade union, but in the end, it could only be settled.

In addition, another special preferential treatment clause is:

Duty free!

The imperial code clearly stipulates that all the people of the Empire must pay taxes, which is an obligation! Dewey, who was familiar with the code, was surprised to find that even the nobles had to pay taxes in the Roland empire! This strange law gives Dewey a sense of civilization.

The magician is an exception! The law clearly states that magicians are the precious wealth of the Empire. All have the right of tax exemption. No one is allowed to collect taxes from the magician. The magician enjoys the privilege of exemption from all taxes of the Empire all his life!

As an aristocrat, and he has only recently been officially qualified as a magician, Dewey almost forgets this beneficial law in his mind. With such a reminder from Philip, I remember.

”Unfortunately, my Lord, you can't enjoy this law.” Philip said with a smile: ”although you are a magician. But first of all, you are an aristocrat with the title of imperial Duke! It is stated in the imperial code that your status as a Duke has priority. In other words, you are a noble first, and then a magician. thus. You still have to pay taxes. Therefore, although the province of DESAR is your territory, according to the law, you still have to pay the financial revenue to the military expenses stipulated by the damned provisional law of the Empire. Because of the military spending. It's an additional military revenue. ”

Dewey already laughed. ”Keep talking, Philip.”

”Yes, my Lord.” Philip said with a smile: ”but your honor, you are not the only magician among us now. That Miss Vivian, and Mr. Solskjaer, are all people who have the formal qualification of magician

”What do you mean...”

Philip immediately explained to Dewey in detail his own way:
