I'm talking about the black dots on the ID card.
We know there are 21 white dots on each profile.
On the first id card he got in the first village, we see that there are no black dots so we can imagine that after a certain time they disappear or that the mayor officially declared them dead.
On the man who will be declared a slave after the theft of the Bandana, we see three black dots so we can imagine that he was an ordinary citizen before this theft
the first time we see Michio's card he has three points so he is an ordinary citizen
The first time he kills thieves for bought Roxanne, we see that they only have 2 black points which implies that they are slaves who fled before to have master in their first year, I explain why later.
The first time we see Roxanne's card, it only has 1 black dot, which implies that she costs the owner 10,000 nars per year. This was paid by the slave trader because she was trained for over a year.
The slave trader explains to us that a citizen pays 30k nars per year and 10k per slave.
When he buys Sherry, we see that she only has 2 black points on her card, because she is still a slave in her first year and does not yet have a master, like the thieves that Michio killed in the previous images. Basically, I think he removes a point when he changes someone to slave status and tax not be paid yet.
When Michio buys Sherry, we see his card has 6 black points, 3 more because he has to pay the amount of a normal citizen for Sherry, who is in her first year, so 6 black points equals 60,000 nars in taxes to pay.
I didn't post a photo, but when he buys Roxanne, his card still has 3 points because he doesn't have to pay anything for her for a year or less. Knowing that the merchant explains that he trained him for 2 and a half years, he probably has 6 months left before paying 10,000 nars per year at the time of purchase.
The last time we see Michio's card, there are 3 white dots left, so 21 white dots minus 3, he has 18 black dots on his card, so according to my reasoning, 180k in taxes to pay. 60k Michio and sherry maybe 10k from Roxanne since the time, there are 110k left in my reasoning, so I tell myself that you must also pay a tax for the cities you visit, like 10k per city from your place of residence to ensure that only merchants transport goods between each city, or other reason, but I don't think this has anything to do with skills...
On the latest thieves' ID cards, we see 3 black dots, so they were also ordinary citizens. We'll see if the black dots disappear if they take a long time to collect the bounties, or if a knight is needed to declare them dead and the cards become completely white.
