Chapter 640 Are you a fairy?
Archduke Wesson and his fiancée went on a long vacation. The motorcade stretched for nearly 4 kilometers, and the main streets they passed when leaving the city were closed to traffic for more than half an hour.
Before setting off, Da Franche looked at the convoy and sighed: "If I go home with one-tenth of the car, I will be satisfied."
Frederick was inspecting the convoy himself. After seeing him, he went over and asked curiously: "Prince da Franche, how did you get in?"
This time there were many businessmen accompanying him. They did not know Frederick's plan, but in the belief that following Archduke Wesson would definitely make a fortune and establish good connections, they paid for their own money and went with him in their cars.
Da Franche now knew that the young man who had eaten oysters with the captain on the ship was Frederick. He also heard that he had previously bragged with a playwright in the Kingdom of Sardinia and that the play he had written based on himself had won the favor of Frederick. ’s adaptation, I feel like everyone is familiar with it.
He asked seriously: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Frederick said with great interest: "Let me tell you lies first."
Da Franche replied: "A friend of mine asked me to be a driver."
Frederick asked again: "What about the truth?"
Da Franche looked around and no one was paying attention here, and whispered: "I plan to sell my goods to Bohemia."
Frederick said with a smile: "The place we are going to is full of mountains, far away from the sea, and we have never seen seafood. Some people regard octopus as a sea monster, which is not easy to sell."
Da Franche said seriously: "Because of this, if I sell seafood there, I can make a lot of money."
"This time I brought three trucks of the best dried oysters, dried shrimps and dried squid, and persuaded the chef to display them at the banquet."
Frederick smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job."
In this era when the old order is broken and a new order is gradually established, it is the golden age for people like Da Franche, who dare to think and act, are not bound by common sense, and are good at seizing and creating opportunities, to shine.
The convoy arrived at Renagin City, the capital of Putz state, about 100 kilometers east of Weisenberg City at noon.
It was formerly the capital of the League of Legens and was located on a once prosperous trade road. The city of Venice could be reached in the south and the port on the southern coast of the North Sea could be reached in the north.
Frederick and Maria took a short rest, held a grand banquet in the afternoon to entertain Putz officials and local gentry, and delivered important speeches.
The next day, the convoy continued on the road, driving more than 100 kilometers eastward and arriving at Eisenstein, a border town in the Principality of Wesson.
The town of Eisenstein has a permanent population of less than a thousand people, half of which are border guards and customs workers. The number of caravans traveling between the Principality of Wesson and Bohemia is greater than the permanent population.
After arriving in the town, Frederick and Maria held an informal buffet for local officials, gentry, and businessmen, and made less important speeches.
After a night's rest, the convoy hit the road again, crossed the national border, and soon arrived at the iron ore town four kilometers away.
There used to be an iron mine in Iron Ore Town, but only its name remained after the veins dried up more than a hundred years ago, so even though it was adjacent to the Principality of Wesson, there was no Wesson Army.
There are quartz mines and limestone near the town. Today, the main industry is the production of glass handicrafts, which mainly focus on animal ornaments such as birds and deer that are common in the woods. It is famous in the Rhine League and the Osmaga Empire.
The lord of the town, Sir Arzhbetin, was surprised and delighted when he learned that Archduke Wesson was coming to visit and stay for a few days.
Iron Mine Town has a population of three to four hundred people, and its armed force only has about a dozen forest hunters. Not to mention the malicious neighbors, even the monsters in the forest are enough to give me a headache.
If you serve this uncle well and hold him on your lap, the benefits will be limitless.
If he gets pissed off, life will be over.
The convoy stopped in a pasture outside the town and quickly set up three huge and luxurious tents.
Almost everyone in the town came out and gathered outside the cordon to watch. Everyone has heard that Grand Duke Wesson invited the residents of the town to a dance tonight.
Sir Arzhbetin invited Frederick to the town as a guest, to the chamber of commerce that sold glass decorations, and to introduce the only local specialty that was available.
Maria was not with them. She was interested in the carvings and decorations on the walls of the wooden houses in the town, so she walked around the town by herself.
She walked to the backyard of a house and saw a gray-haired girl in a gray cloth dress busy under the pear tree in the yard.
The girl was sitting on a chair with a basin on her lap, picking out peas from the ashes on the plate.
Maria asked the girl curiously: "What are you doing?"
She knew something about agriculture. She knew about the blood meal seed dressing invented by Frederick. She also knew that when planting potatoes, plant ash should be applied to the cut surface, but she had never heard of doing this with peas.
The girl raised her head and saw a woman standing outside the fence not far away, wearing an aqua blue silk skirt. Her skin was as white as snow, her long smooth hair was as black as charcoal, and her lips were as red as ripe cherries. Miss.
This was the first time she saw such a temperamental and beautiful person, and she couldn't help but ask: "Are you the fairy in the black lake?"
Maria rolled her dark eyes and said with a smile: "I heard from Xiaoniao that a kind girl encountered difficulties, so I came here."
The girl was surprised and said: "Are you really a fairy?!"

"My stepmother won't let me go to the dance tonight, and will only let me pick out the peas from the ashes within an hour."
Maria knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, and said to her: "You wait here at seven o'clock tonight."
She had learned soul magic from Psyche for many years, but she didn't need it at ordinary times. It was a piece of cake to make the girl confused at this time.
The girl was in a daze and found that there was nothing outside the fence, as if no one had appeared just now.
She herself wasn't sure if someone had been here just now, so she sighed and continued picking beans.
When Frederick returned to his tent in the camp, he saw that Maria had just finished talking to Tarot.
The weather was quite hot this summer, and Frederick was sweating a lot after walking around outside.
Tarot took a towel from the shelf nearby and wet it with water. He went over to wipe the sweat from Frederick's forehead and neck, and finally turned the towel over skillfully to wipe his face.
Frederick took the ice-cold happy water from Maria and asked: "Did you have fun today?"
Maria said with a bright smile: "I want to do a good deed today!"
Frederick raised his eyebrows and asked: "What good thing?"
Maria shook her head mysteriously and said, "I won't tell you."
Upon seeing this, Frederick stopped asking. After drinking half a bottle of happy water, he said: "We will go to the Black Lake to stay for two days tomorrow. It is a few kilometers away. Let's walk."
Maria said happily: "Okay!"
"I heard today that there are fairies in the lake!"
Frederick nodded thoughtfully.
