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

I'm kind of at a loss what to do, Surien said.

The light of the magic lighting is steady and gentle, and the cold air invades the room, making the whole space look a little weird.

After finishing today's documents, Ansu found that it was completely dark.

The little scorpion curled up in Renault's breast pocket, spitting bubbles in sleep.

Lei Nuo was still writing a copy, and from time to time he scribbled and corrected it, as if he was a little undecided.

"Go and rest." Ansu walked behind Lei Nuo, looked at what he wrote, and opened his eyes slightly, "This is the defense map? But why is there only the center line, and the north line?"

"Ansu, if Miriam is your enemy, what will you do?"

"I don't know about this." Ansu frowned, "If he does something bad, I will stop him."

"What if you can't stop it?"

"...Brother, just tell me, is there any news?"

"I'm going back to the Burial Ground." Renault said calmly.

"Why, it's very dangerous there now. Sifel and... have joined forces with their father and other races. If your father doesn't believe you, they won't listen to you." Ansu sat next to his brother, "We brothers are together, okay? ?”

"I don't want to leave you either." Lei Nuo carefully poured out the sleeping little scorpion and put it into Ansu's palm, "But the Boneyard is the warriors I summoned, I can't make them the demon's front line, and If you really want to act, believe me, my father is not my opponent."

"You, are you saying that you never came with your father before..." Ansu sweated profusely.

"Is he worthy of me?" Lei Nuo raised his chin with both hands, looked at the rough map he had drawn on the paper, his eyes were cold and majestic, "he has never been in charge of the country, whether it is politics or military, he is so naive Extremely, at that time he wanted to take revenge on Valen to vent his anger, and I just received the news of your death from Mireia, which made me doubt my ability, so I took the initiative to give up my position. But look at him What did you do, although I can understand his feelings, but the subordinates of the Boneyard have repeatedly protested to me, if this continues, they will go back to the grave to play."

"But I'm still worried...how about I go with you?" An Su really didn't want his brother to go back to such a dangerous place alone.

"No need, you are already the head of the Violet family after all..."

"There are only two of us left in the Violet family!" Ansu interrupted him, the little cousin disappeared, and the Violet family has always been small in number, and some distant branches also left the family because of the Sanhua Rebellion .

"That's not it." Renault looked up at him, smiled, reached out and grabbed his finger, and pointed at the outline of the scribbled map, "This is the territory of the Violet family, you know? Before I was ten years old, my mother took me Walked through the villages and towns of every family, here..."

He pointed to a confluence of rivers: "At that time, Raytheon selected new soldiers, and each manor could only recommend one at most. I watched all the men in the village compete here, and they regarded it as an annual Holiday, to celebrate the man elected."

"Here," he pointed to a fortress in the mountains, "Although the Water Spring Fortress was a pass at that time, it was also the largest trading city with the Mountain Kingdom. It was a bustling city second only to Violet Castle. , but everyone is amazed at the wealth of Heragalan, and the people there are proud of the people of Violet."

"This is Mingjing Lake." He seemed to be thinking of something beautiful. "You loved the violets here when you were young. My mother specially built a lakeside manor here for you, but it was burned down during the Three Flowers Rebellion... ..."

"I..." Recalling the memories from the past, Ansu was silent. It was not his own memory, but it was already his own life.

"The people have supported us and entrusted their labor and life to us. We have the obligation and responsibility to take up their fate. This is the lord. This kind of responsibility does not mean that we don't want to, can't, or dare not, but we can If you escape, even if you shed the last drop of blood." Renault let go of his hand, "Ansu, I really want to stay and help you, but I only have one person, and I can't take care of everything. Undead will not be tired, but I Can't do that much, can you help me share some?"

"Brother..." An Su suddenly felt that his throat was blocked, and he was a little out of breath, "I'm sorry, I, I never thought about this..."

"Mileia is not here, you are only 16 years old, I am not at ease," Renault sorted out the manuscript in front of him, "After I leave, I will not help you much, this is the light of Thor I adjusted and yours. The arrangement of the watchmen's troops, but you don't have much contact with them after all, only war can establish the prestige of the commander, so be careful yourself."

"I know what to do, brother, when are you leaving?"

"After three days, it should still be handed over."

"I'm doing my best."

As the owner of Violet, Ansu's garden castle is built on the hillside, which is very beautiful, but watching his brother's skeleton griffin disappear into the distant sky, the little red scorpion tugs on Ansu's sleeve and weeps.

Boom~ My father is gone, and my uncle is gone~

"You still have me." Ansu persuaded his son to stop crying in a low voice.

ying ying ~~

"What is the difference between what I have and what I don't?" An Su said angrily, "Can you come out without me, Miriah?"

Huh?It seems to be too.The little scorpion tugged on his mother's sleeve and said sorry.

The son is so cute, Ansu feels that he is not so lonely by himself: "If you are obedient, they will all come back to you."

The little scorpion nodded and rubbed his arm against his face, and agreed, then I will be obedient.

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

A few days later, Ansu was sitting in his hall, flipping through the simple ledger on parchment, which recorded the expenditure and income of the entire territory. As the lord, he was responsible for checking it once a week.

It stands to reason that the lord's income is mainly the poll tax paid by the farm, the business tax of the merchants, the tolls for entering the city and the like, plus his own property.

However, due to the previous war, the population and household registration have changed greatly. Many people who have not registered escaped the poll tax. The commercial tax has developed well, because the infrastructure construction in his territory is very hot, and the population is large. Naturally, it needs All kinds of supplies, and the surrounding bandits have been wiped out, giving the territory a very stable environment.

Tolls are also an income, but if they are small, they can be ignored.

His territory is large, his business is prosperous, and his population is increasing rapidly. It should be said that his life is booming. However, the construction of the city is very expensive, especially he also emphasized the important role of sewers and roads. The given Money is more.

At present, his income is mainly from rubber and a small amount of medicine. The sterilized Bordeaux mixture is also the target of various vineyards. The soap is sold as a luxury product because the production of oil is not enough. The main thing is to ensure the supply in the territory, which is not bad. Balance of income and expenditure, but if more people flood into the Southwest Province, more construction and food consumption will be inevitable.

Still short of money, what should I do to make money?

Paper?I really don't know how the paper is made. History books say it's fishing nets, tree bark, and broken linen?Then what?Forget it, let them study it first. Anyway, there are so many homeless people who have nothing to do, so I'm not afraid that they won't find anyone.

Glass?It already exists here, and I don't burn it.

ceramics?Pottery can be fired here, but how is porcelain made and can it be eaten?

cotton?It is very troublesome to remove the cotton buds from the cotton here. One person can remove several catties of cotton in a day, which is difficult to produce on a large scale.

Ansu struggled with the problem of money that he didn't expect to come here.

"My lord." Anna whispered from the side, "A group of cavalry came from outside the city, and they said they were ordered to bring the king's capital."

Ansu rubbed his temples: "Who is it?"

"It's a Griffon officer in the royal capital. I have verified his identity. There is no problem. His letters still have the seal of the king." Anna has changed from a magician to an administrator, managing some big and small things.

"Let him in."

Soon, a travel-worn man in silver armor entered his castle with two adjutants, and handed over a letter after giving his name and number: "This is Your Majesty's military order to recruit the current Patriarch of Violet to join the encirclement The action of the alien army, please gather at the designated location within thirty days."

Ansu opened the letter casually, which generally meant that the battle between the foreign race and the royal family is now at a critical moment, and everyone must work together. If the empire cannot be collapsed, it will be the turn of the little lords. If you help me, our royal family will officially recognize you as the Grand Duke of Violet, and you will be in command of the Southwest Province as a matter of course. If you think it is not enough, we can discuss the price.

After thinking for a while, An Su put down the letter paper in his hand: "Understood, you can go back."

It seems that robbery is also a quick income...
