Give them a little funny shock

Chapter 571: 667 Knight Ghost and the Intruder (Part )
But reputation and the like are not important to Wang Ruide. He just wants to live a stable, rich and prosperous life. As for other things, they are nothing but clouds.

What reputation, what wealth...well, wealth is necessary, but being admired, and protecting a region, those things are not important at all.

But despite saying so, to this day, Wang Ruide still has a lot of affection for the people in his territory. There are only about ten thousand people in his territory. Although he can't remember everyone's name, he knows most of the people in his territory and can call out their names.

Especially the women among them.

As a nobleman, a noble lord similar to the medieval European society, Wang Ruide would naturally not forget what a nobleman could do.

But he would not do such beastly things as robbing women, playing with the wives of his guards and asking them to guard the door for him. His prestige in the territory was very high, second only to Archon Petya.

Pedia has a very high prestige among the people in the territory. After all, her family has been managing this land in the past. Now it is only because the family cannot produce a true noble that the territory is lost, but the residents of this land still respect the former owner very much.

All this is thanks to the noble character of Pedia's ancestors. In the Kadra Empire, nobles with such character are not rare, but they are definitely not everywhere.

As for the new ruler, although Wang Ruide has no ability, he is an ordinary person from modern society after all. He has a kind heart and has received higher education, although not a noble character.

Wang Ruide's rule was even more benevolent than the ruling families of the past in this land, or...equal. Although Wang Ruide himself never felt that he treated the people in these territories equally, sometimes he even felt a little guilty.

However, in the eyes of these subjects, as a baron of the Kadra Empire, a genuine aristocrat, he was even willing to eat and live with a commoner, and he never shied away from being close to a commoner, and sometimes even quarreled with him.

Yes, a quarrel. It was not an attempt to bully others, but a quarrel just like two civilians, and the process and the time were no different from other civilians.

Oh no, his temper is even better than other civilians. After all, some people will hold a grudge after a quarrel with you, and will ignore you for quite a long time, but Wang Ruide will not.

He may quarrel with you today, but he will still greet you tomorrow as if what happened yesterday never happened.

Unless, of course, it's something that makes him really angry, in which case he'll generally not talk to you much for the next week.

However, even if Wang Ruide was extremely angry, as long as the other party did not do anything illegal, there would be nothing to worry about.

This is Wang Ruide, the legitimate ruler of Wangjialing and the Baron of the Kadra Empire who is deeply loved by his subjects.

In Wang Ruide's opinion, the virtues he possessed were just the minimum standard for an ordinary person in his hometown in his previous life. Yes, the minimum standard. But in the eyes of the people here, he was already a figure like the legendary "saint".

Therefore, although people usually seem to have no respect for Wang Ruide at all.

But when they are really needed, they are absolutely willing to sacrifice their lives for the lord.

Not only the people under his command, but also the soldiers under Wang Ruide have great love and respect for him, and are willing to give everything for him.

Especially the female knights under his command. Although Wang Ruide is not a big fan of those around him, he can't help but... ahem, I'm getting off topic.

The dinner party in the castle was still going on, but it seemed very quiet.

Sovos and Wang Ruide were both eating in silence. Today, Wang Ruide's dinner was pickled vegetable beef soup with hot tofu, two steamed fish, two roasted suckling pigs, and two lamb legs.

"Besides, your mother sent you here. I guess you don't have any other talents?"

After eating for a while, Wang Ruide looked at the mouth again, looked at Sovos who was eating silently, and asked. But the latter did not respond, just paused for a moment, and then continued to eat.

Sovos picked up a leg of lamb from the low table next to him, put it to his mouth, and started to gnaw on it without using any tools.

Seeing the way he ate, which had nothing to do with elegance, Wang Ruide smacked his lips twice, didn't ask any more questions, and continued eating his pickled vegetables and rolled tofu.

Pickles are not something that can be served in a refined manner, whether in any civilization in my hometown in my previous life or here.

These are all products created for long-term preservation under conditions of resource scarcity.

If it's meat, it might be served at high society banquets, like ham. But pickled vegetables...

However, in the era when Wang Ruide lived, due to the unprecedented improvement of human productivity and the great abundance of material conditions, things like pickles really became more expensive.

After all, this thing, to be honest, does have its own flavor.

Wang Ruide likes to eat pickles very much, especially pickle meat soup with tofu, the taste is really...

Wow, just one word: awesome.

Wang Ruide's family doesn't usually eat in places like this. The place where the two of them are eating now is the reception room in the castle.

On weekdays, he ate at the same table with the servants in the kitchen dining room.

"Your Excellency the Baron."

Just as the two of them entered into silent mode and were eating, the door of the living room was pushed open.

Then, a tall, black-haired woman with a neat single ponytail walked in.

"what?"

Wang Ruide put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at the woman who pushed the door in, and asked.

The young master from the wealthy province of Makrela was obviously not used to such low-class food as pickled vegetables and rolled tofu, and was now busy eating the lamb legs.

Therefore, it was natural that Wang Ruide alone accepted this pot of pickled vegetables and rolled tofu.

"A group of people have arrived in the territory, Your Excellency the Baron." The woman who came in was Wang Ruide's right-hand man, the governor of Wangjialing, Pedia.

"Who is it?" Wang Ruide put down his chopsticks and his eyes instantly became alert.

His territory was on the border of the empire, and although there were vast mountains outside, he generally did not have to worry about being harassed by enemy countries.

But in fact, this is even more dangerous.
