Chapter 91 Entering the Enemy Camp
The Ansbach Territory is the most powerful among the neighbors of the Wesson Territory. Its land area is more than double that of the Wesson Territory, far exceeding the territories of other nobles.
Recently, many guests have come to Ansbach, including sturdy warriors, mysterious-looking magicians, and some who came over to watch the Knights Athletic Conference after doing business in Wesenland. businessmen from all over.
Even Frederick dyed his hair and eyebrows burgundy and appeared in the city of Ansbach with Psyche who put on a little makeup.
Today Psyche is wearing a long red dress, a tall red conical hat on her head, a thick white veil under the conical hat, and a puffy-shouldered jacket outside. A blue short-sleeved jacket. The hem of the jacket is splayed to reveal the skirt inside.
Frederick's dress attracted attention. He wore ordinary dark blue clothes on the upper body and a red and black plaid skirt on the lower body.
The locals find it very novel, and only well-informed businessmen know that this is the traditional clothing of the Caledonia region in the north of Anglian Island.
The current identities of the two people are the children of a wealthy family from Caledonia who went to Constantbulo to study via Wesenland and his mother. When they heard that the city of Ansbach was going to open a knight's competition After the conference, I came over like everyone else to watch the fun.
Behind the two of them followed a girl swordsman, who was made by Psyche using shaping magic.
The city of Ansbach is very lively now, and the streets are lined with stalls selling various small commodities.
Frederick pointed to a stall selling dried fruits and said to Psyche in Plan: "Mother, I want to eat that."
With a smile, Psyche pulled Frederick to the In front of the dried fruit stall, I gave the vendor a few copper coins and asked him to choose.
Frederick chose some dried apples, apricots and raisins made by dehydration technology, and asked the vendor to pack them separately in plastic bags imported by Wesson. He actually took away the money for the bags.
When he handed the things to the magic swordsman behind him, he found Psyche asking how to sell hangers made of slime hard glue at a stall nearby.
"Mother...mother..." Frederick became nervous subconsciously, "What...did you...buy this...for?"
He has a psychological shadow on this thing.
Psyche waved the clothes hanger in the air twice, and the clothes hanger caused a gust of wind. She said with satisfaction: "It feels good."
The vendor selling the clothes hangers whispered: " Madam, this is for hanging clothes, not a weapon."
Psyche smiled and said to the vendor in Rhineland: "You can try to use it to hit the child, it will hurt but not hurt."
"Is that so?" Another witch aunt next to her who was studying the clothes hanger also picked up the clothes hanger and gestured, and finally said in surprise: "It's really good, it's strong, elastic, and very light."
"Old...teacher..." A cute little girl about the same age as Frederick next to the witch aunt immediately became nervous, "You don't want to buy it, do you?"
The vendor selling clothes hangers was happy. Two bundles of hangers were sold.
Frederick and the little girl looked at each other, and both of them saw the despair in the other's eyes.
“Would you like some raisins?” Frederick asked in Pulan and handed over the raisins in his hand.
This little girl is wearing the traditional folk clothing of the Osmaga Empire, similar to the one here, a yellow long-sleeved skirt, a black vest on the upper body, and a blue apron outside the skirt On the front, the long dark golden hair is tied with a fiery red scarf.
The girl was born either rich or noble, because she replied in Pulan: "Thank you, no need."
The two groups of people separated and went their own ways.
Frederick and Psyche walked around the street and returned to the hotel where they stayed.
This hotel is above average and has three floors. The first floor is a restaurant, and the second and third floors are occupied. It is quite clean and suitable for people like them who are traveling far away and don't have much money.
Frederick walked to the window and opened the curtains, and found that someone in the hotel room across the alley from the back door of the hotel had just opened the curtains. It was the little girl just now.
The two nodded politely and then pulled back the curtains in unison.
"What's wrong?" Psyche sat on the bed and leaned against the wall, eating dried apples leisurely. "Nothing." Frederick sat down on the bed on the other side of the room. "It seems that Ansbach has been very lively recently."
Psyche glared at him fiercely With a glance and a snap of his fingers, a transparent soundproof barrier enveloped the room, and then he said: "Be careful what you say when you go out."
A clothes hanger rose into the air and hit Frederick on the head. A few times.
Frederick shrank his neck, now that he was "deep behind enemy lines", he was a little careless.
The Wesson family's background is still insufficient and they do not have their own professional spy system. Now the entire Wesson territory is busy, and some news needs to be confirmed by Frederick himself.
Frederick's head was hit by a clothes hanger a few times. Although it didn't hurt, he still covered his head and said, "Did your mother often beat you with a clothes hanger when you were a child?"
Pusa Ke paused slightly with his hand holding the dried apple, then shook his head slightly and said: "I have never seen my mother."
Frederick was startled and said: "Sorry, my condolences."
Psyche suddenly sneered and said: "It's okay, she won't die so easily."
Frederick blinked, frowned, and asked her cautiously: "Could it be that... you have been here all along? Looking for your mother?”
Psyche didn’t confirm or deny, she just ate the dried apple quietly.
Frederick saw that she seemed not to be very secretive about this topic today, and thought it was a breakthrough, and asked curiously: "What kind of person is your mother?"
Pousse Ke looked at Frederick quietly, and then said after a moment: "I don't know, she ran away after giving birth to me."
"Alas..." Frederick sighed, remembering some past events, and couldn't help but said: "I... knew a person before. The fat man picked up a beautiful woman on the roadside who helped him move steel bars. Later, he didn't get married and had children. He had a daughter, and after a hundred days of drinking, the woman ran away.”
“The fat man worked hard to raise his daughter, and he had to take his daughter to the construction site during the holidays, otherwise there would be no one. Take care of her.”
“That little girl is a bit clumsy. One day I used a Coke bottle to fill soy sauce, and she asked me for Coke. I said it was salty Coke, and I could only drink one sip at a time... uh... Why are you looking at me like this?"
The murderous look on Psyche's body disappeared instantly, and she chewed two handfuls of dried apples with an expressionless face before saying, "I don't understand what you are talking about."< br>
When Frederick saw what she said, he didn’t say anything more and got back to the business: "Well, the Knights Athletic Conference will start tomorrow. How can we get tickets."
There are many types of tickets for the Knights Athletic Conference, the cheap one is 1 Kreuz, the expensive one is 1 florin, but they have been sold out, and there is no way to find scalpers.
Psyche seemed to be very familiar with this kind of thing and said, "Go and sit in the tavern downstairs tonight. Maybe there will be a crook who uses the ticket to bet."
Frederick immediately shook his head and said: "I don't gamble, and I don't even gamble."
Psyche ate the last piece of dried apple and said without raising her head: "Then You figure it out yourself.”
Frederick could only lie lazily on his bed, thinking about how to get the tickets.
In previous years, Count Ansbach had a dozen knights and four or five powerful magicians, but half of them were lost in the previous war.
This year Count Ansbach held a knightly competition after the summer harvest to gather thirty knights and ten magicians.
The area of the Ansbach Territory has not expanded in recent years, but now the number of vassals has suddenly increased. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a preparation for war.
Not only here, the neighbors around Wesenland have chosen to hold the knight competition after this year's summer or autumn harvest, as if they had made an appointment.
Earl Ansbach is the biggest enemy Wesen is about to face, so Frederick personally sneaks into the knight competition here to see what the enemy's backbone strength is.
