Chapter 324 Private Interview on WeChat
Compared with the city of Weissenburg in 1034 compared with 10 years ago, the biggest change is that the scope has expanded a lot.
The place where Frederick and Alfred barbecued fellow hunters after choosing the site for the canal has now become the passenger terminal at the east end of the Carolina Canal, where passengers heading to Weissenburg disembark. .
A mixed passenger and cargo ship from the south dropped off the guests here, and then went to the cargo terminal a few kilometers away to unload and load goods.
This boat carried two groups of guests, one of which was a large family of women, children and old people, carrying large and small bags of luggage. The speakers were a chubby elder sister and a one-legged girl; The other group of people was immediately known to be a big aristocrat. Among them was a young man with an extraordinary bearing. Next to him was an old housekeeper, followed by two maids who looked like thorny flowers. There were also five male servants, which are rare in the army. Must be a centurion.
The large group of old, weak, women and children each had a backpack and took it away, and were the first to get off the boat.
The customs staff could tell from their skin color that these guests were from the southern continent, so they went up and asked in the language of the Kingdom of Kush: "Are you a family? Where are you from? What are you doing here? "
After saying that, he looked thoughtfully at the one-legged girl among these people, and then at the 200-pound eldest sister next to him.
“Hello,” the one-legged girl went over to negotiate with the customs clerk in Pulan, “We are a family, from the Earldom of Vali in the south.”
“Vali Earldom?" The customs officer seemed to think of something and immediately opened his notebook to search.
After a while, he asked in Pulan: "Are you Miss Puna from the Earldom of Valli? Can you tell me what you do for a living in your hometown?"
Puna was a little nervous. Answer: "I...I run a hotel."
The customs clerk's face immediately showed what he thought was the brightest smile, and his voice became softer: "Miss Puna, please don't be nervous . The Duke mentioned in the telegram that he was being taken care of during the journey to the south, and specifically asked us to provide some help to you and your sister."
"Please wait a moment, I will call a carriage, and then we will go there. I will take you through customs procedures and get your ID cards, and then send you to Oak City."
Puna breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and felt a little touched. Duke Wesson just stayed in his own hotel. For a while, I didn't expect him to actually say hello to the territory.
What she didn't know was that Frederick only mentioned it in the telegram sent home, and then officials at all levels stepped up their efforts, so much so that the customs leader specially arranged for this customs clerk to take the family to settle in Oak City. .
When Frederick thought of Puna and the big girl who stepped on his back, Puna was already engaged to the customs clerk.
The Puna family left, and their conversation was heard by the guests who arrived on the same boat later.
The leading young man sighed: "Weisinzhou is so hospitable and enthusiastic."
His butler whispered: "Master, you have to be careful now and don't reveal your identity. .”
The young man nodded.
Soon a new customs officer came over and asked expressionlessly in Kushite: "Where are you from and what are you doing here?"
The steward stepped forward and used Pulan. He replied in slang: "Our master is from the Ghazi Empire. Let's see what business we can do."
After hearing this, the clerk's eyes lit up, he gave a thumbs up and said: "It turns out that he is from General Arda's hometown. Ah, he is really a hero who is upright and upright!"
Then he sighed, shook his head and said: "Oh, it's a pity that your emperor is a fool and actually listened to the slander and allowed those insects to slander the hero. , and his home was ransacked. He deserves to be soaked in water.”
The faces of the group suddenly turned dark, and the male servants were about to take action, but the young man raised his hand to stop them.
After the customs clerk finished the preliminary registration, he pointed to a row of houses far away from the pier and said: "You go to office No. 13 to register, and someone will give you proof of identity there."
After he finished speaking I turned around and left to register the guests on the next boat.
The guests from the Ghazi Empire found the office. After entering, they saw that there was only a young man in his twenties working inside.
When he raised his head, the young man among the guests was stunned for a moment, and shouted in surprise: "Lille? Is it really you? Are you not dead?"
The clerk behind the desk suddenly stood up, his expression changed for a moment, and finally said: "Your Majesty, you have recognized the wrong person. My name is Serik, and Lille was drowned in the water."
He Fatih, who was once a junior officer in the Ghazi Imperial Guard and is now the emperor, often attracted them when he was a prince, and the two knew each other before.
Fatih arranged for some small noble officers who were attracted by himself to join the new army of the Praetorian Guard. This army was sent to Constantbul, but was finally flooded by Frederick.
Celic did not expect that the emperor would pay a private visit to Weisen state incognito. The bodyguard on the side was Hakan, the god of law. The maid behind him did not know him, but among the male servants there was an officer of the Imperial Guard whom he knew. All he could do now was pretend that he didn't know the origins of these people, and after sitting down, he took out the forms and filled them out step by step.
Fatih asked him: "Why don't you go back? Is the ransom not enough? If it is not enough, I will help you pay it."
Serik hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "We went back just like General Arda Nailed on the pillar of shame?"
"I can understand what the emperor did, but I cannot forgive my family for working with those insects to smear General Arda."
"Your Majesty, For the sake of delivering news to you about the late king and other princes in the past few years, just think of me as dead."
Then he thought for a while, took off a necklace from his neck and presented it with both hands: "If. You are kind enough to do me a favor and please pass it on to my mother, saying that you bought it at the salted fish market and that the seller took it from a drowned corpse.”
The corners of Fatih's mouth twitched a few times, but in the end he did not take the necklace. He sighed deeply and said: "Arda's daughter Therma returned to her hometown and formed an army to restore her father's reputation."
< br>"My departure this time is to leave room for her to develop. If she can succeed, she will be my queen."
"I hope...I implore you to return to my hometown by then. I need Your help.”
The expression on Serik’s face changed a few times, and he hesitated, but in the end he handed the entry form to the silent Hakan expressionlessly and said: "Please fill out the form, and I will make identification documents for you later."
Then he took down some brochures from the shelf nearby, handed them to Fatih and said in a formal tone: "These are Wesson's The state’s civil maps and tourism and investment guidance can bring convenience to your trip. ”
Seeing him like this, Fatih said nothing more. He took the promotional materials written in the language of the Ghazi Empire and sat in the office to browse them briefly.
Hakan was naturally responsible for filling in the forms, but his left hand, which had been chopped off by Frederick, was not very mobile. His movements were very stiff and he wrote a bit slowly.
Serik said to Fatih at this time: "Your Majesty, when you come to Wesson State, please respect the laws and traditions here. The relevant content is written in the booklet."
"Most of all. The important point is that there are no slaves in Wesson State. Once a slave enters here, he will automatically acquire the status of a free citizen and cannot be killed at will."
"Last month, the Grand Duke of Franken, the Principality of Franconia in the north, was killed. His eldest son killed the slave girl he brought with him in Oak City, and the court sentenced him to death."
"Because of this incident, the relationship between the Principality of Franconia and the State of Wesson is now very tense. After the verdict, the Principality of Franconia soon began to deploy troops to station at the border to exert pressure. The war may break out at any time."< br>
After hearing this, Fatih nodded calmly, thinking that he came here to study, and it would be great if he could witness the Weisen state's army fighting with his own eyes.
After Hakan filled out the form, Serik took the form and left the office.
At this time Hakan asked Fatih: "Master, can you trust him?"
Fatih just smiled and said nothing.
Serik came back not long after, handed them a passport, and said at the same time: "This is your entry identification certificate. Please carry it with you. It can be used in many places."
Fati He and his party left after getting their identity documents, and showed them when leaving the dock.
Next to the dock area is the commercial district. Hakan asked someone to find a carriage.
At this time Fatih saw a strange man pushing a strange car on the way from the river.
This man is very strong. He wears a pair of khaki blacksmith pants with large pockets on both sides. He wears a light blue light blue gauze jacket with sun protection on the outside. Inside is a vest with many pockets and a short-sleeved pullover. T-shirt, long black canvas backpacks on his back, a wide-brimmed straw hat made of wheat straw on his head, and black glasses called magic mirrors on his face.
What made the emperor most curious was the cart this man was pushing. This cart had only two wheels at the front and rear. There was an iron frame between the wheels, and the man held the handle above the front wheel.
When the man approached, Fatih greeted him in the German language he had just learned: "Mud Howl!"
Richard Nall said to him happily: "Alas ? How do you know that my fish weighs 20 kilograms?”
Fatih noticed at this time that there was a big fish lying on the palm-wide shelf on the rear wheel of the car, with its mouth opening and closing. Yes, it looks like it was just hoisted up.
