Chapter 414: Keep a Low Profile
“I remember those machines were used for war, right?”
“I heard that one machine can burn down a city.”
Baron Rono and Walter looked at each other, and the father and son began to tremble on their feet.
"Could it be..." Walter's voice trembled with nervousness, "Could it be Hess who got into trouble?"
When he thought about it, the only reason why Duke Wesson sent so many war weapons was to deal with the Rono family. There was almost no interaction between the two parties. The only possibility was that his younger brother working there had a medical accident during treatment, which offended Duke Wesson severely. .
Baron Rono's hands were shaking, but he still had to look calm and composed in front of his son, and said: "I hope Hess won't cause too much trouble. I heard that Duke Wesson is reasonable. We should pay whatever we want to the people.”
The Rono family’s estate is quite large, and the harvested land is enough for an airship to land.
At this time, Baron Rono and Walter had already changed into suits popular in Wesson, and arranged for the women and children to leave quietly in a carriage. They thought that the airship flying in front and landing first must be the Duke of Wesson's car. , so he stepped forward to greet him.
Baron Rono was considered a man who had seen strong winds and waves. When he saw the door of the airship opening, he was about to step forward. Unexpectedly, the first girl to jump out looked like his precious granddaughter.
Sanna hurried over and said to her grandfather: "Grandpa, someone has been poisoned by the colorful black snake..."
Baron Rono was shocked. At first he thought Duke Wesson had been poisoned, but then he saw the Many people came down, thinking that something unexpected happened to his team.
The patients on the stretchers were all covered with church quilts. They couldn't see clearly at first. Baron Rono asked Walter to hurry up and prepare the medicine, and he walked to a stretcher to see the condition of the patients.
"Huh?" Baron Rono could tell at a glance that the woman on the stretcher was just a civilian. Her dry hair, rough skin and cheap linen clothes all showed her identity.
The girl with braided braids next to the stretcher asked: "Can the master be saved?"
Baron Ronno first saw her wearing a brand new sky blue woolen coat and thought she was a girl from some family. Only then did he realize that she was an ordinary village girl.
The patient was sent by Duke Wesson. He didn’t care about the priest but also the God of Light. Baron Rono rolled the patient’s eyelids, reached out and touched the carotid artery, and replied: “Also. "It's not too late."
At this time, Sanna brought Frederick over. After introducing each other, Frederick said: "Please treat the patient as soon as possible. Don't worry about the cost. Just give me the bill after the treatment." But."
"That's right!" Frederick added, "Use the Paladin of the Church of Light for the bill, not the title."
Things are a bit big here now. It's a political whirlpool again. It's not good to appear as Duke Wesson, so let's use the identity of the Holy Knight of the Church of Light.
Although Baron Ronno is not involved in politics, he has served high-ranking officials for a long time and knows all about the secrets inside.
After briefly talking about the trivial matters, Baron Rono took Sanna to treat the patient. Although Sanna went to study machinery, the foundation of her family tradition was still there, and she had been in contact with patients from the beginning. Baron Rono She needs to provide information about her condition.
Bishop Rolf, who came with him, did not participate in the treatment. Instead, he took Frederick to talk on the side of the road: "I wonder if you have the attire of a paladin?"
Frederick shook his head. He shook his head and only brought a standard saber.
Bishop Roff also understands politics, so he said: "Since you want to act as a paladin, I will definitely make arrangements for you."
Frederick made the arrangements, and Baron Rono was responsible for the subsequent treatment of the patient. He had to go to the city to deal with the impact of the airship.
At this time, Baron Rono's butler came over, and Frederick called Eugene and asked them to arrange for everyone to rest.
The Rono family has its own armed force, and there are not many people. They usually protect the master when he goes into the mountains to collect medicine. Frederick said that as long as they are optimistic about the airship, he will take them to fly around in the sky in two days.
After hearing this, the housekeeper wanted to come and stand guard.
The airship turned on the heat and turned off all the equipment. The captain took out the key and stuffed the "magic brain" at the core of the control system into a backpack with miscellaneous items and took it away. Everyone went to eat and rest. .
Frederick knew that some people would definitely be interested in airships, but industrial products are here for you to copy. You can't copy them even if you don't have the ability. Why not give them a clear look and advertise them by the way.
The butler kept apologizing along the way, saying that the conditions in the manor were not very good, and asked everyone to be patient.
Local nobles often come to Baron Rono's family for treatment. They all bring servants with them. There are many guest rooms in the manor, and it is okay for dozens of people to squeeze in.
But it was not a problem for so many people to live here. Frederick asked Eugene to wait and go to the city to find a place arranged by Richard Nall and the others.
As the group of people walked toward their residence, Tony whispered to the soldiers around him: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Our captain gave his coat to the little girl. It's getting cold now. .”
Several young people in their escort company are eager to try it out. This is a good opportunity to strike up a conversation. Even if they don't hook up with the captain, they can still get to know other female soldiers through her.
However, someone in the Black Cat unit moved faster. Someone took off his coat and put it on the girl, causing both the pilot and Black Cat teams to boo, and the people in the escort company could only grit their teeth.
When Frederick saw it, he just smiled and chatted with Bishop Rove about the Bear City.
Bear City has exploded, and many people don’t know what is flying in the sky and on the ground. Many people who went to work in Wesson had seen airships in the newspapers. They became the most handsome boys in the city and kept telling others what they saw in the newspapers and what they thought about.
All forces sent people out to inquire, and soon found out that the airship had stopped at the manor of Baron Rono, and then found out that Duke Wesson had entered the city and lived in Archbishop Felipe's mansion near Bearskin Church. It comes in the name of the Paladin.
These days, among the high-ranking priests of the Light Church, only the lights in their homes are still bright. Frederick looked at Bishop Rolf, who was quite strong, and then at Archbishop Felipe, who was as fat as a ball. , one can tell from his appearance that Rolf is Fido's "nephew".
With a smile on his face, Archbishop Felipe said to Frederick: "I should have met with you earlier, but unfortunately, I just arrived at Cyclops Island and I heard that you left a day ago. "
Frederick looked very regretful and said: "That's a pity."
Last year he confirmed on Cyclops Island that the so-called Cyclops bones were some kind of giant. The elephant triggered a big discussion about doctrine in the Church of Light. Many priests went there. He was afraid that some priests would not solve the problem but the people who created the problem, so he left.
Archbishop Fei said: "Your coming here must be an arrangement by the God of Light, giving me the opportunity to learn from you."
"I think you are tired after flying for so long. You can use this house as you like." , treat it like your own home, I won’t disturb your rest, and I will come to learn from you after you have rested.”
Then he called the housekeeper, and Frederick came to see him if anything happened.
Frederick politely replied: "Then I will disturb the Archbishop."
"My coming to Bear City this time has disturbed everyone a bit. Please help me explain."
Archbishop Felipe kept nodding in agreement, thinking that this was more than just an interruption. I don’t know how many people couldn’t sleep at night today.
The residents around this mansion are all powerful people, and a little further outside is the bustling commercial district, so when Richard Nall received the news, he came over carrying the fish he had just caught.
"How do you know that I caught a forty kilogram fish?"
Frederick had just asked the tailor to measure the size in the living room, and said with a black line: "Who asked you? "
"This fish is not for you to eat!" Richard Nall sat on the sofa, put the half-dead fish at his feet, and asked: "What happened to make such a big fish? Movement? ”
Frederick told what happened. After hearing this, Richard Nall said: "So that's it. I thought there was going to be a fight."
He knew very well who Frederick was and said it was Saving people is simply saving people, there is no other reason.
“It’s been quite lively recently.”
Richard Narr explained the situation here, focusing on the Kingdom of Sardinia’s preparations to sign a treaty with the Helvetia Federation.
After hearing this, Frederick thought for a while and said: "This is a good start. Next, I will contact the Grand Duke of Mainz to help you obtain the status of the plenipotentiary envoy of the Rhine League. We will also sign one like this treaty.”
Richard Nall said depressedly: "Why not yourself?"
Being a special envoy means you have no time to go fishing, which makes him very unhappy.
Frederick explained: "My appearance today is too public. It will give some people an excuse to say that I threaten the Helvetia Federation. Next, I have to keep a low profile."
"Anyway Someone else will discuss the details, so you just sign it."
Richard Nall rolled his eyes at him: "The envoys are all nobles, and they are not happy for me, a commoner, to sign on it."
A smile appeared on Frederick's face: "That's just right. You can choose which fiefdom you want in my territory."
He mentioned the fiefdom a long time ago, but Richard Nall didn't care. In the end it was settled.
Seeing the master's look of disgust and waving his hands to refuse, Frederick immediately said with a playful smile: "Now that the master's wife is an earl, wouldn't it be bad if you don't have the same title?"
"Now that the Osmaga Empire has agreed to build a railway to the Great Gulf, and with the addition of steamships, it will only take a few days to get from Weissenburg to the Master's place."
Richard Nar glared She glanced at him, picked up the fish and left.
Frederick knew that the master had been persuaded.
He hadn’t had a good rest from yesterday evening to today’s noon. He asked the housekeeper to prepare some simple things to fill his stomach, then take a bath and go to bed. He also informed the housekeeper that before he woke up, everyone from the Rono family would be removed. See no one else.
This mansion of Archbishop Felipe is used as a golden house to hide his darlings. The bathroom is quite luxurious. The maids have been serving the fat and old archbishop for a long time. Suddenly, a strong young man comes and is more enthusiastic than serving him. The master is still high.
Frederick was soaking in hot water, thinking about the next thing, when the housekeeper said outside the door that Miss Ronno had arrived.
