Wolf King

If he can jump out of the perspective of grassland residents and look at it objectively, Xiao Yun can understand Tiger King's choice.

As a weak person, he refuses to be a man with his tail between his legs. "If you don't live in peace and hunger, you are like a praying mantis with arms." It is indeed very lacking in style; but if the status quo is not changed, the Tiger Clan will not even be able to make knives, and can only be trapped in the "barren land" of the grassland, gradually decaying like an old weapon thrown in a corner Turned into scrap iron... In contrast, it is better to sacrifice one's life to fight for the unknown, at least the Beast Emperor wants to use them as knives to kill people, and they have to give them a little breathing space to sharpen themselves.

Of course, understanding does not mean agreeing, anyway, Xiao Yun will not touch the pit that the Tiger Clan jumped into voluntarily-it is true that it is miserable for a weak chicken to have no use value, but what good can it do if it is a knife in someone else's hand What's next?

There are not too many similar examples on the earth. During World War II, no matter whether it was a slave country mixed with the Axis powers or a small country on the side of the Allies that at least earned the name of the Allied Forces, there was nothing good to eat... The national army was killed The troops who were killed by the British in Burma couldn't even make a fuss. They died in a sea of ​​corpses. The history of World War II written by others is still so small and transparent.

What's more, if the knife is unfavorable and useless, the person holding the knife will let go very quickly... In order to please "Youbang", Lao Jiang almost took off his pants and offered chrysanthemums, and "turned into" WW's Has anyone ever given Ya a look?

In short, in Xiao Yun's view, it is not impossible to take the initiative to send it to your door and be used. As a weak person, you have to be a bit of a weak person. Honest blood transfusions don't pretend to be forceful; You can't let others decide who the blade is facing instead of you!

Because if you want to fall to this step, this knife is basically not far from being scrapped!

There is a lot of knowledge in the sense of propriety, and the difference is obvious.The same is to hold the big brother's thigh to earn tickets to the Game of Thrones. Xiao Yun dedicated several years of blood transfusions to the forest elves and worked hard for the economic development of Ananas. Getting the tickets did not delay the development and growth of his own tribe; Clan, no matter whether the Tiger King broke up with the Cat Clan in order to gain the trust of the Beast Emperor, and expressed his determination by abandoning this once loyal little brother, he is really self-harming his own foundation...

The news brought by Primo allowed Xiao Yun to have a good idea of ​​this year's Frankish feast, and the next step is to complete the preparations before participating in the feast—first of all, to climb onto the bed of Elf General Kleist ... Ah no boat.

Anas extended an olive branch to the elders of the airborne faction. Xiao Yun, who could not move away from the southwest corner of the grassland, could not bet all his money on the airborne faction who was struggling to move up. The relationship with Pai must also be maintained well——for the thick leg of the forest elf, as long as Xiao Yun's brain is not broken, he will continue to hug it, and hug it more securely and properly.

In the previous monosodium glutamate business, Xiao Yun did not deliberately "give" this good business that everyone made a fortune to General Kleist to earn favors, but continued to entrust Evelyn to sell it to her teacher, because in this A method as conspicuous as the mud dots on the snow werewolf's head was too stupid, Xiao Yun used such a clumsy trick only after eating too much.

So how do you get on General Kleist's bed... uh ship?

Xiao Yun chuckled, of course it is~~spending money!

That's right, throwing money at it!

No matter how beautiful the language is, there is no practical benefit to move people's hearts!

As for what money to spend, of course, it was the profits earned from the batch of wrist-type magic amplifiers sold to St. Bridge in the first half of the year~! !

A few days later, in the city of Ananas, at the mansion of General Kleist.

The elf general who changed from a melon face to an oval face finally did not continue to gain weight. As an elf with a high aesthetic, he still has to face. He kept his mouth open and opened his legs, but at least he kept his handsome and extraordinary face; but now, he has always been demeanor. General Kleist, who has a flamboyant temperament and extraordinary temperament, shows a dull expression that damages his image...

Your Excellency's wife, a mature elf woman who is so beautiful that she can beat Evelyn, slowly raised her hand to cover her red lips: "Gretel, dear, what's going on?"

The branches of the Bard Association all over the continent rely partly on mailing items and letters for customers. Of course, the price is very unfriendly, and no one looks for them for non-valuable items or important letters.But now, the bard who personally delivered the goods to the door undoubtedly brought very valuable items... a box full of gold and silver utensils, jewelry and jewelry.

"Your Excellency, this is a gift from Carlisle, Prince of St. Bridge, entrusted to us by you." The human bard looked envious, and respectfully handed over the envelope with Ferdinand's family crest, "Please Accept it, so we can reply to Prince Carlisle."

"Carlisle?" Kleist was puzzled, "Why did His Royal Highness give me these things?"

The wife's complexion changed slightly, and she stared at her husband with wide eyes: "Kleist, you—"

Hearing that his wife didn't even call her by her nickname, Crest suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and said quickly, "Don't get me wrong, my dear, I have only met Prince Carlisle two or three times, and it's limited to business affairs."

"Really? Speaking of which, Kleist, you are now a big celebrity known by all races. There are more people who like you than the entire population of Anas, and those people have never even met you in person. If someone like that has seen you—”

"Absolutely nothing! Didn't you send me all the letters from admirers after reading them?"

"Okay, admirer! Kleist! Look me in the eyes, you have to give me an explanation today!"

"This, dear? Didn't you tell me to say that, to respect those who write—"

Seeing the situation, the human bard immediately got up and ran away...

Among the two most popular travel stories in "Mainland Travel Notes", General Kleist is the most publicized one, and even the illustrations are drawn by him; readers all over the mainland can't find Gourmet Hunter and don't know How to get in touch with the Snow Wolf Clan? Letters of excitement were sent to General Kleist; the bards of the Ananas City Branch just went to his house to deliver letters to the door. As a familiar face, I also know how exaggerated the number of letters from enthusiastic readers of different races, identities, and even genders expressing their love for Kleist.

The general's wife's sense of crisis has deepened, which is really normal...

He repeatedly expressed that he had no personal relationship with Prince Carlisle and did not persuade his wife, so General Kleist had to give the letter from His Royal Highness to his wife to open and read to express his magnanimity.

The letter from Prince Carlisle was not long. After a simple greeting, there was an explanation of the gift.After the wife read the letter, her expression changed from annoyed to livid, she took off the long sword hanging on the wall, and stabbed at General Kleist without saying a word...

"Calm down, Corsina!" Kleist jumped up and hid behind the sofa in fright. "I don't know what was written in the letter. If that Carlisle went crazy, it's not my fault!"

"Shut up! Damn guy, when did you hook up with Carlisle's teacher!" the former elf warrior Kexina said angrily.

"Carlisle's teacher? Wait! One of his teachers is Priest Harvey of the Holy See, one is the sage Xavier, and the other is the snow werewolf Ayun. How could these three people have an affair with me?!" Kleist said I couldn't laugh or cry, "The first two are old men in the human race, and the latter is just a cub of the snow wolf clan! Even if you insist that I will seduce men from other races, at least find a suspicious target of the right age!"

Kexina stopped chasing her husband, wondering: "Really?"

"Really!" Kleist nodded vigorously.

Kexina knew Kleist better, and after thinking carefully about her picky husband, it was really unlikely that she would like the old man of the human race and the cub of the orc, so she put the sword back.

General Kleist wiped his sweat, this level can be regarded as passed...

After finally getting the letter addressed to him, he read it once, and the elf general's expression became serious.

Kexina took out the jewelry to play with, and seeing her husband's expression changed drastically, he got up and looked at the yard, and closed the living room door casually, then walked back quickly and said in a low voice, "Gretel, do you have any agreement with Carlisle?"

"No..." Kleist shook his head, and carefully read the words in the letter again, with some hesitation in his expression, "Carlisle is just passing the word on his behalf. The person who wrote this letter is the snow werewolf Ayun."

"Ayun, the author of the travel notes?" Kexina was a little surprised, "He is not an ordinary orc."

"Of course it's not ordinary... how many orcs can have such a wise man." Kleist closed the thin letter paper, thought for a while, and released a cluster of wind force from his palm, rolling the letter paper into powder.

Seeing her husband being so cautious, Kexina also became serious: "Grete, I support any decision you make, but you have to remember that we are Ananas, and we cannot betray this city."

"Don't get me wrong, dear." Craster quickly explained, "The cooperation hinted by Ayun in the letter does not harm Ananas..." After hesitating for a while, Craster himself was not very sure, " Maybe it's because Evelyn became his disciple, or maybe it's because we have been working together for a long time... Ayun saw the hidden crisis in Ananas, and I think he wanted to show his favor to us in this way , to show kindness to Ananas."

"...?" Kexina didn't understand.

"Gwendolyn." Kleist spit out a name briefly.

Kexina's expression changed slightly, and her hand on the sofa grabbed the sofa cover tightly: "—Wait, isn't it Gwendolyn who has been leading the transaction with the Snow Wolf Clan? What does the Snow Wolf Clan mean?"

General Kleist thought for a while before saying: "The cooperation between Ananas and the Snow Wolf Clan, after Ayun first approached me once, he never mentioned the trade between the two sides with me. Gwendolyn gave Snow Wolf The opportunity for the wolves to participate in the "Frankish Feast", but Ayun showed me his favor in such a sincere way... I think it should be the wise man of the Snow Wolf Clan who saw that Gwendoline's heart was not in Anana Well, what she wants is the Queen's favor, that's why he sent me another invitation to cooperate. When Gwendolyn returns to Stephens, it is impossible for the Snow Wolf tribe to move away."

Kexina looked stunned, and couldn't help but praise: "This is really a smart orc, no wonder he can write those two travel notes." The female elf smiled slightly, and said teasingly, "In this case... my dear, you But you can only have an 'affair' with His Royal Highness Prince Carlisle~"

The corners of General Kleist’s mouth twitched slightly... His wife was very smart, and instantly saw that his cooperation with the Snow Wolf Clan could not be exposed to the public, at least not let Gwendolyn know——he expressed his position so sincerely , It would be too disrespectful to cheat others; then the windfall that Your Excellency General made can only come from the "generosity" of Prince Carlisle.

"Kesina, you..." The elf general who had nothing to do with his wife sighed helplessly.

In any case, Kleist wanted Ayun's love, Gwendoline became more and more eager to please Her Majesty, and she didn't care about her appearance, which made Ananas, who had been growing year after year, be stretched financially in the city—if there was no With this box of windfall money, General Kleist will worry about how to ensure that the soldiers' equipment will be renewed next year.

"Honey, don't get fatter like last year. I don't mind showing my annoyance with my beloved husband, but a fat elf general doesn't necessarily attract a prince of a country." The persuasiveness of spending huge sums of money to please." Ke Xina covered her mouth and smiled.

Kleist doesn't want to talk to her anymore...

Seeing that her husband was angry, Kexina stopped teasing, and said solemnly: "Since Prince Carlisle gave such a generous gift, then we have to show something, what do you think, dear."

"That should be the case." Kleist nodded. "Next year, we will find some manpower to expand the pier, so as to avoid all the troubles when St. Bridge's fleet enters the port."

Kexina agreed deeply: "This is very good, then I will arrange the vassal race. By the way, there are a group of young warriors in Garcia Village who have just passed the adult test. I think, let these ignorant young people go to the port to experience a That's a good thing, Gretel, don't you think?"

"Of course it's very good, thank you, dear." Kleist's eyes were gentle. Apart from being jealous and teasing him whenever he had the chance, Kexina was really a good wife.

On the southeast coast of the Southern Continent, when the Northern Continent was snowing, the temperature in the Kingdom of St. Bridge had not yet begun to drop.

Prince Carlisle went out of the city every morning to visit his father, who was recuperating in the palace outside the city, and returned to the palace before nine o'clock to meet with ministers and councilors to deal with the day's government affairs.

Compared with previous years, there were some changes in the political hall of the main hall of the palace: two exquisite high-back chairs and two long tables full of paper documents were added next to the seat of His Royal Highness, which were the seats of the two princesses; When His Royal Highness was discussing with the ministers and members of parliament, the two princesses sat aside and listened, and Prince Carlisle occasionally listened to their opinions.

The ministers were very dissatisfied with the appearance of Her Majesty the Princess as a woman in the hall of the sacred main hall of the palace earlier, but after His Majesty recovered from illness and His Excellency the Prince became increasingly silent and cautious, no one openly discussed whether the Princess' participation in politics was "immoral" .

Especially after four of the other five countries in the south sent envoys at the level of princes, princesses, and princes, and all of them respected Prince Carlisle, some shameless aristocratic councilors even publicly declared that it was very reasonable for princesses to participate in politics, and that the daughters of the royal family naturally had the right to use The qualifications for royal power... made some old-fashioned nobles so angry that even the hatred for the princess itself was transferred to those villains.

However, the ministers will probably thank the princess for participating in the palace's political discussions on this day—His Royal Highness lost his temper because of the collapse of a house in a certain street in the city and the government officials knew nothing about it. The aristocratic official with the title of Viscount even took his anger out on the Minister of Internal Affairs, and he seemed to want to drive the old-fashioned earl out on the spot; fortunately, the two princesses dissuaded him from the sidelines and said a lot for the earl who turned pale with fright The good words made the increasingly prestigious Prince suppress his anger and did not continue to pursue the matter.

"Brother, you were really vicious just now." In the side hall of His Royal Highness, the little princess gestured exaggeratedly, "Earl Harris almost couldn't stand up, if I hadn't signaled the guards to come forward to help him, maybe he would Make a fool of yourself on the spot."

"Would it be, the words I reprimanded him are not half as severe as when I taught Yumi, it is Earl Harris who is too pampered." Carlisle smiled softly, not as fierce as before, "Little Betty, don't you Do you feel that Harris, as the Minister of the Interior, is just a vegetarian, and there is no point in standing in the political hall?"

The little princess tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded in embarrassment: "Although Prince Hilbert has mentioned many times how Earl Harris is good at government affairs, diligent and reliable, but in my sister's opinion, he doesn't really take care of things. ...Right, sister?"

The shy eldest princess just covered her mouth and smiled, refusing to criticize an earl in front of her elder brother.

Maybe it's because I've seen how skinny the cubs of the Snow Wolf Clan are... Carlisle is becoming more and more tolerant of young people who don't care about such scrupulousness when speaking, teasing the little princess and saying: "Then, little Betty, who do you think is better?" Fit to be St. Bridge's Home Secretary?"

"Brother Wang." The eldest princess was startled, and hurriedly stopped her.

"It's just chatting with our family, don't take it too seriously." Carlisle waved his hand casually, "Little Betty, tell me what good idea you have."

"If you want me to say...Earl Hockley?" The young princess was not as cautious as her sister, and said with a smile, "Anyway, the work of the Minister of Internal Affairs is done by those clerks, so it doesn't matter who is in charge? Huo Keli If Earl Klee is Minister of Internal Affairs, Yumi will not dare to bully me, because I can sue her father!"

The eldest princess couldn't help laughing out loud, and Carlisle was also laughing, but her eyes were a bit cold.

Even little Betty can see that there is no difference between whether there is a minister of the interior or not, and the waste who sits in a high position by virtue of his status has no self-awareness... For the future king, this is not a happy thing.

"Brother, didn't you say that your teacher would come to St. Bridge to see us? Why don't they come?" The little princess tilted her head and said.

"Of course Teacher Ayun will come, but they haven't finished their work there, so we have to wait for a while." Carlisle smiled and touched the little princess's head, "Ms. Ayun is very strict, Betty, if Let Teacher Ayun know that our little Betty often fails to complete her homework, then Teacher Ayun will not play with you~ Maybe she will punish you for doing more homework."

"Hey...then I'm going back to do my homework." The little princess jumped out of the chair nervously, lifted her skirt and ran out, "Brother, don't tell your teacher that I will delay my homework. I want to talk to the big big white dog." Play together."

"It's a wolf!"

"Yeah, big white wolf!"

Carlisle laughed. Before Mr. Ayun came, he had to change the name of little Betty, otherwise this lovely sister might not have the chance to play with the snow wolves.

After spending time with the two younger sisters, the next thing Prince Carlisle has to deal with...is his own career.

Before he was crowned, Carlisle did not consider merging his property into the royal family's assets. It was not because he was selfish, but because the current bureaucrats in the kingdom's internal affairs were not enough to be trusted... The war was imminent, and Carlisle could not do anything to St. Bridge's. The upper-level structure has been adjusted too much, no matter how uncomfortable he has to tolerate the parasites in those countries for a while.

As a court mage, Tim Humphrey is responsible for all his personal property financial accounting work for Carlisle; Darren, who is obviously a sword fighter, is forced to manage Carlisle's team personnel; Dan Crowdy of the Cavaliers had to act as Carlisle's "foreign minister"; not to mention Yumi Hockley, a well-known nympho in Wangcheng, for Carlisle's complex low-end product sales chain can really benefit At the bottom, this beauty-loving aristocratic woman is too busy to even take care of her hair...

Seeing his little friends being driven around, Prince Carlisle looked serious, but felt a sense of refreshment in his heart.

"That's all for Tim and Darren. Leading Dan and Yumi, two guys who always only know how to play and cause trouble, to the right path, this sense of accomplishment is no less than spending time only playing with dolls and drinking afternoon tea. The younger sisters brought it to the government affairs hall."

Prince Carlisle smiled happily, and unceremoniously continued to increase the workload of his friends.

"...Carlisle is really looking more and more like Ayun!" Dan Crowdy, who was assigned a bunch of tasks, complained to Yumi privately.

Yumi nodded wildly, bitter and bitter: "That's right, Ayun can't see anyone in their tribe who is idle, even forcing us to farm when we are guests! What a ghost, even I am so delicate and beautiful Weak women are ordered to prospect for ore!"

"That's right! I was tricked into planting the land for several days, and I didn't even touch Ah Shan's little hand!" Dan Crowdy recalled that unbearable experience, and his whole face was distorted.

Yumi looked at him in shock.

Only then did Dan realize that he had said something stupid, and quickly explained: "As a knight, I don't think it's too much to get close to a snow werewolf, right?"

Yumi ran off, shouting, "Tim, Darren! For the sake of your chastity, don't any of you spend the night at Crowdy's again!"

Dan hurried to catch up: "Hey, wait for Yumi, let me explain—"

Carlisle, who was sitting indoors signing the document, glanced sideways at the energetic friends in the courtyard outside the window: "Well, they are very energetic. It seems that it would be no problem to give them some more tasks."

The guard who sorted out the documents for Carlisle paused and stared blankly at His Royal Highness the Prince.
