Knight's Guide to Anti-Wolf [Western Fantasy]

Imperial Capital, Vigana City

The sun was very strong, and the autumn wind blew across the large golden wheat fields, bringing the atmosphere of a good harvest, which made people waiting in line to enter the city reap a bit of coolness.

It is already the harvest season, but there are still large areas of barren fields that have not been harvested. If the weather is slightly worse and there is an autumn rain, then these unharvested wheat can only rot in the fields.

But there is no way. From the Sanhua Rebellion to the alien invasion, years of wars and plagues have lost a large number of people. Many manors have gone bankrupt because they cannot be harvested. Vigana, the former imperial capital of hundreds of generations, has lost its former prosperity.

The shortage of population not only gave birth to the price of labor force, but also developed the serf trade, but no matter what, as long as the war stopped, the country would move towards recovery.

The people queuing up at the city gate are all free people. They provide the necessary materials for the operation of the city, but the city entrance tax is essential, and there are also some poor people around who have no money to enter the city, so they can only sell some crude goods at the city gate. cooked food.

Suddenly, the poor people who lined up became a little commotion.

In the distance, a neat troop came forward. They rode great horses and wore luxurious and majestic armor.

This troop is surrounded by a large four-wheeled carriage, and the rustic wood grain on the frame strangely forms a blooming violet. Just as this silent troop moves, the surrounding onlookers dare not come back. Make a sound.

When they reached the city gate, the leading knight pulled the reins lightly, and the entire team of knights stopped in tacit understanding.

The knight turned around on his horse, walked to the window of the carriage and whispered, "Your Excellency, we have arrived in Vigana."

An Su in the carriage replied while flipping through the books: "Understood."

"Yes." The subordinate replied, and led Congren to the main gate of the city gate.

No nobleman dared to come to greet him. It seems that the current imperial capital is really in trouble.

An Su thought casually, and turned to the next page.

As the most powerful nobles in the empire, of course their convoy was not denied entry, and they arrived at the manor in the city not long after.

The housekeeper here quickly arranged the board and lodging for everyone. Ansu didn't go to see anyone, and was still reading in his room.

In fact, according to his thinking, he wanted to come alone, but if this is the case, let’s not talk about whether it is reasonable or not, first of all, people here will think that he has some ulterior motives, otherwise why would he quietly People.

So if he wants to gain something, he really can't lose the pomp.

Fortunately, he is no longer the poor man he was back then, and he can do whatever he wants.

Anyway, there will be no less excitement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At night, the banquet hall of the royal palace was brightly lit, and the magical lights made the entire palace look like a glowing pale yellow gem.

In the wide hall, the soft lights turn the walls into orange, and various treasures and ornaments silently show the status of the host and guest. Two bands are playing and singing elegant music around, and the long tables on both sides are decorated with various Dishes are available for guests to enjoy.

The guests attending the meeting are all powerful figures invited by the royal family to watch the ceremony. This kind of banquet is also a place for them to communicate. Almost one-third of the conspiracy, transactions, and plans are realized at this kind of banquet.

But as a nerd, Ansu has never been a good partner for communication.

Of course, not everyone is qualified to strike up a conversation with him.

So he just walked to the terrace on the second floor, leaning against the exposed white stone railing, feeling the evening breeze of the ancient city.

With his strength, no one can notice where he goes.

Looking at the lights in the distance, Ansu relaxed a little bit, the current life is not too bad.

As a time traveler, I should be considered successful. Although I divorced the man, the other party couldn't help himself after all. He also has a son, land, and a high position. Although the future is still unclear, but these years It still feels amazing.

Out of nowhere, it's about to save the world.

At this time, there was a sudden chatter behind the back, without turning around, Ansu could also feel that it was a few sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys peeping behind the crystal curtain.

"Is this the Grand Duke Violet?" a female voice said softly, "What a lonely figure..."

"Drool is coming out!" A teenager whispered, "Go closer, I can't see it anymore."

"I heard that he is already a strong man at the peak of the holy rank," said another boy with starry eyes. "Perhaps only the archangel Miriam is worthy to be his opponent."

"But Miriam has been missing for a long time. I heard that they are lovers."

"Someone has come up, there must be something wrong, shall we withdraw?"

"No, I want to take another look. Do you think I have a chance?" The female voice was almost drunk.

"Drag her away, it's too ugly."

……

Ansu couldn't help smiling: "What a bunch of kids."

"Actually, Ansu, you are not much older than them." The person next to him whispered.

"When you become a father, you will no longer be a child." An Su said coldly, "But are you bold or stupid when you come to me directly?"

"Would it be too late for me to say I like you now?" The second prince's voice was bitter.

"If you don't mention it, I'll almost forget about it." Ansu didn't hate him as much as before. Of course, the most important reason was that the knight Ansu didn't hate him, and he didn't want to go too far.

"You have a kid?"

"Yes, very cute, very cute." Thinking of the little scorpion, An Su felt a little sad. Although the child would come to accompany him in his dreams at night, he was on his uncle's body during the day, and he would be in a hurry with whoever caught him. , I haven't touched his paws for a long time.

"But you are not married yet..." Paris tried to win a little chance for himself.

Ansu was already very impatient with this question, so she reached out and grabbed him by the collar, and pulled him in front of him: "Don't mention the fact that I liked you again, because it doesn't exist."

"I don't want to give up..." Before Paris finished speaking, Ansu had already thrown him off the balcony.

"Whether you want to give up or not has nothing to do with me." Ansu continued to blow the cold wind on the balcony.

"It's a good show." A voice chuckled.

An Su didn't turn his head, just looked into the distance.

"Your Excellency Ansu, it's because my hospitality is not good enough to bother you. I don't mind." The person behind him walked up to him. He was a tall, tall and handsome man, completely different from the second prince. The presence.

Even though he knew that this was His Majesty the Emperor, An Su didn't pay attention, but just turned his head and glanced at him.

Although he knew about the scum in the royal family, the emperor had to be said to be an excellent scumbag.

His mother Pigna was a romantic widow who was well-known in the royal capital. There were countless ministers, and the strongest one was the former king. The former queen, and drove away Paris, who was born in the first place, and helped the illegitimate son to the throne after the king passed away.

Queen Pigna controls the power and eliminates dissidents. Her son is just a signing tool for her. Not long ago, this illegitimate son took advantage of the retirement of the chief guard of the palace and installed his own person as the chief guard. He killed the queen with his own hands on the pretext of poisoning him, and seized the power, so that this pro-government ceremony took place.

But killing his mother is not what he is most famous for. His favorite thing is to go to bed. The people around him, both men and women, have been defiled by him. Once the wife of a courtier falls in love with him, he will try his best to get it. There is no requirement for chastity in this world, otherwise there will definitely be greater troubles.

But he is not useless. For example, he basically copied Ansu's behavior in the Southwest Province. He was under pressure to discuss with the queen mother in power, such as road construction, tax relief, rewards for inventions, control of food prices, and financial announcements. It was carried out because of the prestige of these things, which gave him the basis for pro-government.

So people are complicated.Ansu thought.

"Your good governance in the southwest is eye-opening." The other party praised sincerely.

"It's something everyone knows." Ansu didn't take his word for it.

"I just have a question that I really don't understand, and I want to ask you for advice." The other party got to the point, he has very charming blue eyes, and when he looks at people, people can feel his seriousness, "You have reduced the tax burden, But the income not only did not decrease, but increased. You repaired the roads, and the plundering of bandits decreased. You did not collect city taxes, but the city did not have plagues due to the influx of too much. I imitated your approach, But the effect is there, but not as good as yours, I want to know, what is the relationship between your behavior and the result?"

"Because people are the most precious wealth. Therefore, we should cherish them instead of robbing them." Since the other party asked politely and seriously, Ansu didn't mind telling him, "People's desires are endless. When they are full, they want to wear warm clothes. If you wear warm clothes, you will want to live well, and to obtain these, you need to pay more labor. If you only give him a harvest that is not enough to eat, then he will never be able to create greater value. Only fattened sheep will have more The wool and the sheep that starve to death cannot be regenerated into value."

"So, according to the scriptures, the king is the shepherd of God..." There was a flash of surprise in the other party's eyes.

"The scriptures say the Pope." Ansu corrected calmly.

"Don't mind this little problem," the other party smiled softly, "Then, will I have the honor to invite the wise Mrs. Violet to dinner?"

An Su thought for a while, and decided to give him this face, just as he also had something to say.

Then, the other party naturally made a gesture of inviting you to go first, and after retreating behind Ansu, he naturally wrapped his arms around his waist.

……

Ansu threw him off the balcony too.

This kid is very talented in striking up conversations, so high that he didn't even realize that he was being asked out.
