Chapter 218 Are you here to declare war?
In mid-December, post-war negotiations between the Rhine League and the Kingdom of Damma and the Kingdom of Piast were held in Hanma City.
This time the Rhine League is led by Prince Rudolf, but he is just there as a sign, and professional matters are handled by professionals.
Princess Margaret came to the Kingdom of Danma in person. Once she redeemed the king's body, she became Queen Margaret.
The Piast Kingdom is much more low-key. A minister came here, mainly to redeem the bodies of the nobles who died in the war.
The main parties involved in the negotiations are still the Rhine League and the Kingdom of Denmark. Currently, the Royal Mage Group and the Noble Alliance of the Rhine League still occupy Flensburg in the Kingdom of Denmark.
Frederick just asked Christian to look after his share of the interests, and then ran to a manor in the west of the city.
After buying the guild alliance, he still had a lot of spoils, so he used them all to select some farms that were connected together, and then exchanged some with others, and finally integrated them into a very large manor for greenhouse cultivation. vegetable.
Now he is the master of everything he does. The manor is managed by Helmut's parents and younger brother. He studies under Psyche's guidance every morning, tries to figure out calculus in the afternoon, and spends the evening Thinking about what to "invent".
After more than ten days like this, Christian came to the manor cautiously.
Frederick was practicing the basic skills of swordsmanship. He turned to look at him and asked calmly: "Failed?"
Christian nodded sadly.
Frederick said nonchalantly: "If you fail, just fail. It's just a canal, and it's not me who loses."
He was mentally prepared for the failure of this negotiation. After all, it was a canal. The canal zone, which is 100 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide, is not so easy to obtain.
Christian whispered: "They are willing to give you duty-free trading rights at all ports in the Kingdom of Dama."
Frederick continued to swing his sword and asked him: "How long is the time limit?"
Christian replied: "99 years."
Frederick thought for a while and said: "I I agree in principle. You can discuss the details with Shupaiya and squeeze out as much profit as possible."
Christian then said, "Sir, many people have invited you to the banquet recently, including Ma. Princess Gretel.”
Frederick shook his head and continued practicing.
Nowadays, there are too many people in Hanma City who want to join him. I went to a cocktail party before, and there were all kinds of bragging people lined up, and some people got into fights because they jumped in line.
So he is not interested in world affairs now. Those who want to join the army have gone through the interview first. Those who want to join the army are in charge of Gerhard, who has agreed to be the vice principal of the military academy. Shupaiya, who thinks he can show his talents in the business field, is in charge. To check, the scholar chatted with Professor Adam, and those who wanted to enter politics went to Wesson to take the civil service examination. After passing the first test, Psyche, a humanoid lie detector, took the second test, and finally had the third test with Frederick.
It’s just that when he doesn’t want to see anyone, someone comes to him.
“Let’s compete.”
Princess Margaret, who came uninvited, saw Frederick practicing, so she pulled out a slender rapier from her waist .
Frederick turned his head and glanced at Psyche dejectedly. Only she could let outsiders come here directly.
Psyche seemed to be particularly interested in the sky, raising her head to study the non-existent clouds.
“Just do it.” Margaret shook her sword to get familiar with the feeling, and it looked decent, “Just treat this place as a battlefield.”
Frederick Frowning slightly, he looked at the other person carefully.
Margaret is about sixteen years old this year. She is of average height. She is wearing a thick winter coat and cannot tell what she is about. Judging from her long golden-red hair, she has northern ancestry.
Frederick looked at the weapon in her hand, then at his own, and sighed deeply.
Margaret was a little angry when she saw him sighing, and said angrily: "Are you looking down on me? Just let me see what kind of person killed my father."
Philippia Trey turned to look at a knight who came with Margaret. This man's strength was probably not inferior to that of Richard Nar. He said to him a little depressed: "You must be Mr. Preburn. I once I heard the master mention you, what do you think we should do now?"
Margaret's anger level became even higher, and she said angrily to Frederick: "Do you want to look down on me? Teacher Rayburn, please beat me first! If you beat me, you can do whatever you want!" Preburn suddenly covered his face and said to Frederick: "Please look at Mrs. Psyche... Be gentle as Richard Nall and I have gone on adventures in the North.”
"Teacher!" Margaret stomped her feet angrily after hearing this, "Why do you say such things?!"
Psyche turned to ask Preben: "Isn't this work very hard?"
Preburn replied calmly: "The salary is high."
Psyche said again: "But it seems that you didn't teach well."
Preburn was helpless. Said: "There is nothing I can do about the talent problem."
Psyche said: "It seems that you will be tired in the future, so why not quit."
Preben replied seriously: "She gave me a salary increase."
"That's it." Psyche nodded, "Oh, the fight is over."
When the two of them started chatting, Frederick made the first move.
Margaret immediately took a stance when she saw Frederick rushing towards him, stabbing his throat with the rapier in her hand.
This stab was executed with an extremely high degree of perfection, using her whole body's strength to the maximum extent, and her accuracy was spot on.
Margaret suddenly felt a pain in her hand. The bayonet was knocked out of her hand by Frederick's axe, and his face instantly appeared in front of her.
Frederick rushed up to Margaret, almost face to face, and knocked out her breakfast with an uppercut.
Until one of the two sides' human bodies reaches an overwhelming advantage in strength or speed, the side with the heavier weapons will have a greater advantage in a hand-to-hand encounter.
Recently, Frederick is learning to use a tomahawk. Firstly, he will familiarize himself with the characteristics of this weapon so that he will know how to deal with enemies who use this weapon. Secondly, he will at least master the basic skills so that he may be able to use them when. .
The rapier Margaret is wearing is quite beautiful. This martial skill is also suitable for girls, but it is not good enough in front of an axe.
"I...I will fight with you!"
Her Royal Highness the Princess, who could not afford to lose, rushed towards Frederick and stretched out her hands to strangle him.
Psyche shook her head and said to Preben: "You are a teacher... a student can't afford to lose."
Preben looked at the blue sky and said calmly: "I will retire after these few years and change my name."
At this time, Frederick came over and asked Preburn suspiciously: "You are here to declare war, right?"
Behind him, Margaret was knocked to the ground, with a black eye circle, and was tied with a belt There were four horses with hooves.
Frederick was her father-killing enemy, so naturally he would not hold back, but he had promised not to deal harsh blows, so he had to be tied up.
Preburn's face became ugly, and he hesitated for a while before saying: "Actually, we are here to seek cooperation, do you believe it."
Frederick was black. line and asked: "Would you believe it if you were me?"
Preburn smiled awkwardly, rolled his eyes, and asked, "How about I wash her and put her in your bedroom so you can vent your anger?"
Frederick turned to him and turned the page. Rolled his eyes.
"Have you ever done this to your future queen?" He frowned and said, "Is she a fake?"
Preben's face suddenly became bitter and he sighed. He said angrily: "There is nothing we can do. His Majesty Valdemar is gone, the Piast Kingdom has been crippled by you, and those pagans are about to come."
