Transform another world

Everyone is happy with what they want, and those who are not happy are probably losers like Mark.

But no one will care.

Immediately after the court meeting is the dance party, or the tea garden party?

He Anqi doesn't know much about this, but it's a bit like a buffet. All the food and drinks are placed on the tables around the garden, and there are also furniture such as tables for people to put food on the side, and there is a singing and dancing band at the top. The center was free for everyone to dance.

The nobles gathered together in twos and threes to eat, drink and joke, and some female relatives would come after the court meeting. He Anqi was not interested in these, she just sat on the side with some food and drink, and no one would go at such a time Disturb her unless there is a good reason or identity.

Alex, who won the title with the support of the three giants, has obviously become a big celebrity now. Even if she is a half-orc and a woman, she has not dissuaded the nobles from making friends.

Seeing her tense but pretending to be calm, He Anqi seemed a little gloating. The nobles around her obviously regarded Alex as a channel to make friends with the upper class, but they didn't realize that the real nobles didn't treat this newcomer. Nobles pay attention.

He Anqi looked at the ecology silently, just like those great nobles, I guess all those in power are like this, they regard themselves as chess players, while others are just pawns in their hands.

He Anqi has no power to change these things, and there is nothing she can change. Some things can't be changed just because she can't understand them. If that's the case, why should she go to such an effort?But the premise is not to touch her bottom line, otherwise she will go crazy directly, no matter whether you are expensive or not.

Sophia, who disappeared for a long time, finally appeared, I have to say it is amazing!He Anqi suddenly discovered that the person in front of her was not the majestic King Arthur in the anime, but a princess in reality.No matter how gorgeous armor she wears, it can't conceal the temperament of a princess on her body.

Sofia wore a blue low-cut mermaid dress with a backless back, silver transparent high heels, a low-key and luxurious sapphire necklace, and a very detailed makeup.

He Anqi is very glad that the people here are not like medieval Europe or the neon country before, who like to rub catties of powder with strong metal components on themselves. Generally speaking, those makeup looks are still very in line with the aesthetics of modern people Conceptual.

But she doesn't like cosmetics herself, she didn't like it before, and she doesn't like it now.Who made her naturally beautiful and look good without makeup?Well, it's also because she's lazy!Now that talent has replaced the effect of makeup, she doesn't need to do anything extra.

As a royal family, Sophia can't strike up a conversation with anyone. After she took a glass of red wine, she sat directly opposite He Anqi, so that no one dared to approach casually.

"I didn't see you in such a lively scene during the day. Your good friend is helpless in that kind of situation, so you trust me?" He Anqi said jokingly. It's straight out.

"It's useless even if I go, I can only stand by my father's side, I can't say anything, and I can't do anything, at least I can't do anything until my father expresses his position, and when my father expresses his position After that, I didn't need to express my opinion at all." Sophia took a sip of the red wine and said indifferently.

I have to say that what Sophia said is very reasonable, but He Anqi is still a little curious, "So would you mind telling me about your morning schedule?"

"There are a lot of nobles coming from outside here. Their families were not able to attend the court meeting at first, and my mother is pregnant again. So who else can entertain them except me?"

He Anqi suddenly began to feel sorry for Sophia. This child was never expected to do such a thing. Presumably, she would definitely make her life worse than death in one morning, just like being tortured.

"I found that these nobles don't seem to care whether the people they support become nobles or not. If they fail or succeed, they only affect the parties concerned. Then why do they work so hard to come to the royal city? The traffic is not so convenient, right?" He Anqi indeed I am very curious. You must know how inconvenient the transportation in this world is, and there are many dangers along the way. Since it is not something that I care about very much, why bother to come to Wangcheng so hard?

"You must know that winter has always been a very difficult season. It is the same for human beings, and it is also the same for other creatures. Except for the royal city, most of the outer territories have no city walls at all. Even if some have city walls, they are not as strong as the royal city. The territory where the lord is located will also have a tall city wall, but in general, apart from the royal city, only the royal city with 21 small countries attached to it has such a tall and strong city wall. For safety, many nobles will want to spend the winter in the royal city But the nobles are not allowed to leave the territory without receiving an order, not to mention that the road from their territory to the royal city is not safe, so they must have brought a large number of troops, so it is even more impossible for them to come King City. But this year, these people found a good reason, so they can't wait to come here."

He Anqi understood that it doesn't matter which one she emotionally supports to become a nobleman, the important thing is to be able to spend the winter in the royal city.He Anqi has always wondered, even if a person becomes a new nobleman, there is not much money to be made on him, so how is it worth so many noble districts to help them.

He Anqi didn't believe that these nobles offered help only out of kindness or because they were pleasing to the eye.

"However, it is not unconditional for them to come here. This year, there is a great shortage of food in the royal city. Although these people are not in the royal city, they have a lot of land, and there are not as many people in the royal city, so they have a lot of land in their hands. food. Now, these food become their entrance fees, and their men have to store their weapons and equipment in the Knights after they come to the royal city, and they need to bear the needs of their troops, which is very important. To a certain extent, the safety of the royal city is guaranteed."

He Anqi was a little embarrassed. It can be said that the food shortage in Wangcheng was caused by her alone, but the current situation of this world is obviously worse than she imagined.

"Where are so many people coming to live? Are there still so many houses in Wangcheng?" He Anqi glanced over, there were at least a hundred strange nobles, plus their family guards, this is a large number of people.

"It's okay. Although these people are not here, they all have their own industries. It is impossible for small nobles without strength to appear here. Most of them will be responsible for some affairs in the territory of the big lord to which they belong."

"Belonging? Although nobles have different sizes, what does this mean? Isn't nobles only given by the royal family?" He Anqi became more and more confused.

Sophia shook her head and said: "Indeed, nobles can only be given by the royal family, but not every noble can get actual benefits. Even if they get actual benefits, they cannot survive alone. Simple It is said that after a nobleman obtains a title, most of them only get honors and some bounties like Alex, but they have no land and no profit channels. Then these nobles need to participate in the war, Live on this. In fact, Wangcheng can be said to be the place with the fewest wars. If you want to get enough funds, you can only go to other battlefields, and the allocation on the battlefield is also very particular. Some are relatively safe, and some are relatively dangerous. Some, after the victory of the war, the distribution of the spoils is the same, it can be more or less. And these are all in the hands of the lords in the area where the war broke out. You belong to my faction, so I will give you some The good thing is that you are not from my school, and you don't have any big background, so you can only be cannon fodder, and what you get is only some things left by others."

He Anqi understood, no wonder Sophia brought Alex to find her, besides herself, even if the king wanted to be her backer, it was useless.If this is the case, the strength of some great nobles may have surpassed the king's authority, but they had to surrender due to the power of theocracy.

"There are also some nobles who not only got rewards, but also got land. But most of this kind of land is in the wild, maybe the whole land is a small village, and the rest are all unowned land. Under such circumstances, Even if you have worked hard to reclaim a piece of land, the continuous attacks of monsters and robbers will make you in a hurry. There is no big noble behind you to support you. With your own strength, let alone reclaiming the land, can you survive? It's all a problem. Basically, after a small nobleman gets a territory, it will belong to a big noble nearby, so that other nobles will help him. But in the same way, after belonging to this noble, the small nobles, apart from every A tax is paid to the country every year, and a tax is also paid to the big nobles. When the king recruits, it is also this group of small nobles who rush to the forefront."

Sophia's explanation was very comprehensive, but it also made He Anqi feel that the world is full of crises. It can be said that there are constant external and internal troubles.If there is no theocratic suppression, it is estimated that the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have already come here.

"So, you have been entertaining the powerful family members in these places this morning?"

"Yes."
