Chapter 549: Descendants of the Former Dynasty
The convoy stayed in the town for three more days. Something happened to the family of the animal trainer Fontana had been hiring, and the rendezvous time was a little late.
The next journey will go deep into the mountains, which is more dangerous than the one we walked on the first day. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and monsters appear from time to time, so security needs to be strengthened.
Frederick has been staying in the room for the past few days. The so-called miracles have become an uproar in the town, and the content is constantly iterating.
Many businessmen come here to purchase carvings, and they spread the news all the way.
Frederick was unable to do anything about it. He wanted to explain, but people immediately said "yes, yes," with a look of "we know you want to keep a low profile."
Especially that nun - now Frederick knew her name was Renee - her eyes lit up when she saw Frederick, and she took the initiative to take care of daily life.
When Frederick saw her like that, he thought that if he ordered her to stab Rudolf to death in the street, she would not frown.
The convoy set off again, with more than a dozen black hounds forming a cordon around it. The continuous barking of the dogs gave the merchants a sense of security.
Frederick recognized this animal trainer named Loweena. He had studied at the Animal Tamer College of Weissenburg University for several years, and later returned home to become an official.
Lovina is the third son of Grand Duke Regens. The Regens Alliance has a beast taming force commanded by him.
It’s just that the ending of the Battle of the Trade Route was too dramatic. Those monsters had diarrhea worse than humans, and they were captured without playing any role.
Loweiler was imprisoned in a prisoner of war camp at that time. A classmate recognized him, and with the hard work and help of a group of students and professors, he finally stopped building the railway.
Throughout the morning, Lowena did not dare to look at Frederick for fear of being recognized.
Others in the convoy were also respectful to Frederick and did not dare to speak loudly.
Frederick felt a little bored and called Loewe over during the lunch break.
He was sitting in the parking space of the bus, and Luo Weina stood there with his head hanging down as if he was being judged.
“I heard something happened to your family?” Frederick asked about the family affairs.
Lovina is in his thirties, his wife is the second daughter of the noble family of the former Earl of Legens Alliance, and his two lovers are the daughters of a minor nobleman. After the war, they both came to the mountains.
He hesitated and replied: "I want my son to go to Weissenburg University to study artificial animal breeding, but his mother is very worried because of her identity."
There is a huge market for hunting dogs. They are not only needed by the dignitaries for hunting, but also by ordinary people who use them to look after their homes and care for their homes. There are also a lot of people who use them as pets.
Excellent hounds are as particular about their pedigree as good horses. Breeding dogs are not as energetic as Frederick. If artificial breeding can be used for large-scale breeding, the benefits will be considerable.
But Lovina is also the biological son of Archduke Regens. Although he does not have the right to inherit the Grand Duke's title, he can only gain seniority in the army and eventually become a minor noble. But now that the country has been subjugated, he will Become the target of some ambitious people.
So his wife was a little worried that her son would be jealous if he went to Weisenberg City, and maybe one day he would be gone.
Frederick was not surprised by this. There were many such situations in history.
After the defeat of the Principality of Franconia and the Alliance of Legens the year before last, the nobles of the two countries basically did not click away according to tradition.
But Frederick did not accept their allegiance, confiscated all real estate, and allowed them to use money to rent some land for farming or invest in industry and commerce.
Although these people still have enough food and clothing, some of them are quite dissatisfied without the political power they had in the past.
But no matter the dissatisfaction, private armies are prohibited within the Principality of Wesson. These people have no external support and can only complain after drinking.
In response to Lowena's worries, Frederick said to him: "Don't worry, your eldest brother and second sister are living well now."
"Your eldest brother is now working in a food magazine. I heard that he is studying food ratings and plans to collect recipes from various places and eat and drink here and there." "Your eldest nephew worked as a train driver incognito in the past few years, and his identity has not been made public now. "Keep driving the train."
"Your second niece ran away to Wayne City with a large dowry. Her fiancé's family did not resent your family's defeat. According to the grand duke's daughter's Standard held a wedding. "
"Your second sister is amazing. She established a chamber of commerce with other people and found many former knights to join her. They went to Bohemia to do business. There is no such thing. People dare to default on their debts."
"Your two nieces have changed their names and are now in the Air Force."
The second child seemed to be in the least trouble in this big family, but she handed in the certificate of surrender, surrendered her father's small treasury, and sent her two daughters as hostages. Now there are many people in that chamber of commerce. People from Steamed Bun Bureau and relevant departments.
Lovina is the third son in the family, and he has no share in the family business, so he has little courage since he grew up eating, drinking and having fun.
The same goes for his wife, who was raised deep in her boudoir and treated as a tool for family marriage. Don't expect to have any courage.
The father and brother of his two lovers died in the war, and his nephew was less than ten years old. The family had no mainstay, so he had no choice but to take his sister-in-law to Lovina.
No one in Luo Wei's family had the guts to do so. Because of the tense atmosphere after the war, he did not dare to stay in his hometown, so he took the money and fled to the mountains to join his wife's grandmother's family.
They finally bought a village in the mountains, but it was not rich and there were many people in the family. Lowe could only work to support his family.
The information in the mountains was not very well informed. Luo Weina knew nothing about the situation of his eldest brother and second sister. He only heard about their situation now.
"Huh..." Luo Weina breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "It's just that her husband didn't dislike her."
After he finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, but thanked her. Frederick brought news.
Frederick blinked, why do you think this guy only cares about his niece?
As he recalled the information about this family, there seemed to be a mixture of children and big cars filling the air.
Frederick was too lazy to talk about other people's affairs and returned to the topic: "Don't worry, let your son go to Weisenberg University. Artificial breeding of livestock is now a popular major. Mastering this craft will not be difficult in decades. Worry about not making money.”
“The police department and the military have been looking for excellent hunting dogs over the years. You can go to them and ask them what your requirements are. It’s up to you how much meat you can get. "
"I went to see your eldest brother and second sister when I had time. Your family left without saying a word. They were very puzzled and wrote to me asking if you had offended me before, otherwise why didn't they kill you. I will only kill you, but can you send your body back to the family cemetery?”
“If you don’t have time, ask someone to deliver a letter to your elder brother when you get to the next town. Just send it directly to the magazine. .”
Lovina said: "I will go and see them after I finish this trip."
When I was at home, the eldest and the second child had a fierce fight for inheritance rights. He, the third child, stayed out of the matter and instead fought with the two of them. The relationship is all good.
Now that the family is separated, the previous fights are meaningless, and it’s time to live a down-to-earth life.
The two chatted for a while, and the team set off on the road again.
There are many villages and towns on this trade route. There is a town thirty or forty kilometers away. If you hurry up and take your time, you don’t have to sleep in the wild.
These villages and towns developed based on trade routes. First, merchants settled there, then the surrounding mountain people came to trade, and finally they became commercial centers.
Frederick was thinking that he would not go out when he arrived at the next town, so as not to encounter any trouble.
The road was uneventful. The vigilant hounds drove away a few bears and other wild beasts, and the convoy entered the town unscathed.
As soon as Frederick got out of the car, he saw someone rushing toward him with a gleaming butcher knife.
