Chapter 552 Asking you to perform a miracle
It was dark, and Frederick woke up in the guest room of the castle. He dressed and washed under the service of the maid, and then went to the restaurant with the housekeeper to have breakfast.
Baron Abbex and Lovina arrived first. There was also a bearded knight in the restaurant who was chewing venison sausage. He was wearing a half-breastplate and a coat. The coat of arms was that of another lord. of vassals.
After Frederick came in and took his seat, Ibex said to him: "Principal, this is the knight of Count Oval."
The bearded knight had already put down the sausage and stood up to greet Frederick. salute.
Ibex continued: "The territory of Earl Oval is two days' journey from here. The Earl has suffered from a strange disease in recent years. I would like to ask you to perform a miracle to treat him."
On the surface, Frederick was not satisfied. I was so excited that I felt so flustered that I lost my temper.
The Osmaga Empire deployed a 3,000-strong legion in the White Mountains. The mission was to control the territory of the mountainous area based on this trade route. This legion was headed by Count Ova.
The Earl of Oval has been loyal for generations. His mother is the cousin of the late Emperor Ferdinand. When he was young, he was one of the deputy captains of the Royal Knights.
Politically, he belongs to the category of "always support His Majesty the Emperor, and support whoever becomes the Emperor." He is loyal to the Empire while being a local emperor here in the White Mountains.
This time, Frederick planned to pay a semi-formal visit to Earl Oval, but he didn't expect that the news of the previous few days would spread so quickly, so he took the initiative to find him.
I know my own things. Frederick had a ghost miracle. The first three times were all coincidences.
Seeing that he was silent, everyone thought he had something to hide.
Aibex said: "Principal, Count Oval is a devout believer. He is always good at charity and often helps lords and caravans that are harassed by monsters for free."
He thought to himself When Frederick performs miracles, it depends on the target. If it is a vicious person, it will be too late to make up for it. Only those like Skinner who have a good reputation are qualified, so he started to talk about the good deeds Earl Oval has done in the past. .
Lowena also thought the same, and after Aibex finished speaking, he said to the bearded knight: "Tell the principal why Count Ova is in poor health, or maybe he made some mistakes and was punished by God. "
What he said makes sense. Anyway, there are many stories of this type in the stories written by the Church of Light.
The bearded knight immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, no, my lord did not get sick because he made a mistake."
"Three years ago, my lord helped a caravan drive away the monsters. No. I accidentally hit my head on a branch.”
“This kind of thing was not worth mentioning to adults before, but this time is different.”
"From that day on, the adult will suddenly have spinning dizziness. When dizzy, the eyes will tremble, and you will feel like you are floating. You will also feel nauseous. Recently, you have started to vomit."
"The adult's illness lasted only a short time. It’s half a minute, but I don’t know when it will come. Sometimes I stand up from the chair or lie down quickly, and recently, even if I turn my head faster, it will come suddenly.”
“The archbishop said, this is it. The devil wants to take away your soul, but fortunately you are pious, so the devil doesn't succeed."
"But the devil got into trouble with you, and has been unwilling to let you go for the past few years. It’s very uncomfortable.”
After he finished speaking, the restaurant suddenly became quiet, and everyone—including the butler and the maids…—were looking at Frederick, waiting for his response.
Frederick's face still remained calm, but he was no longer so panicked.
If he guessed correctly, Count Oval and himself had a problem after their head hit a telephone pole in a previous life. In the end, two colleagues helped, one searched online and the other followed the video, and the result was good.
"Let me go and have a look." Frederick didn't dare to finish his words, "Whether it works or not, we still have to follow the will of the God of Light." That's the good thing about being a magician. When things work out, you have to be an intermediary. , failure to achieve success is a matter on God’s side and has nothing to do with intermediaries.
The bearded knight immediately thanked Frederick and seemed eager to drag him away now.
But Frederick was not in a hurry, had breakfast first, and then continued on the road with Fontana's motorcade.
Although there is no feudal relationship between Baron Ibex and Count Oval, the nobles also have a sense of worldliness, so they went together.
Before departure, Frederick put spike collars on the hounds with great interest beside the motorcade.
Not only ferocious beasts in the mountain forest bite their prey's neck to kill it, but now the iron spikes on the necks of these hounds are as long as fingers, making it impossible for monsters to bite them.
At this time, the bald businessman who was "punished by God" came over and asked cautiously: "Sir, can you give me the handkerchief yesterday?"
Frederick first had a question mark, and soon remembered that the bald head was talking about the handkerchief used to wrap his hands to remove the blood clot yesterday.
The handkerchief is a daily consumable of the Wesson family. The corner is embroidered with a yellow double-headed eagle emblem without a red background. It is a bargain for him, and he still has a stack in his backpack.
He remembered that he thought it was uncivilized to throw the handkerchief on the ground because it was dirty, so he gave it to Sister Renee to dispose of.
Apparently, Sister Renee did not throw the handkerchief away, but kept it.
Frederick said nonchalantly: "If you want it, I'll give it to you."
The bald businessman thanked her profusely and immediately went to see Sister Renee.
The convoy soon set off, and Frederick chatted with a young businessman.
This businessman from the Kingdom of Sardinia mainly sells some low-end jewelry. He imports small jewelry made of crystal glass from the Principality of Wesson and sells it in big cities. He also purchases ordinary silk embroidered gauze scarves from the Kingdom of Sardinia and sells them. When arriving at the Principality of Wesson, the customers on both sides were young people with well-off pockets.
The cities in the northern part of the Kingdom of Sardinia are very wealthy, especially Venice, where ordinary citizens can afford one or two pieces of small jewelry.
The skilled workers here in the Principality of Wesson also have quite a lot of money. Some of the scarves are bought by men as gifts for their partners, and some are bought by girls themselves, so they don’t have to worry about sales.
There were no surprises along the way, and we arrived at an ordinary town in the afternoon.
Aibex and the lord here have been neighbors for several generations, and their relationship is not bad. He brought Frederick and Lowe to enjoy a roasted whole lamb.
The bearded knight did not stay, asked the lord to borrow a vigorous horse, and went back overnight to report to Count Oval that Frederick had arrived.
The next day, the road suddenly became narrow, less than a hundred meters wide, with steep cliffs on both sides, some more than a hundred meters short, and some four or five hundred meters high. From time to time, goats could be seen walking Lick the salt off the cliffs.
There is a rock salt mine near here, and a convoy coming from the opposite side is transporting refined salt. Judging from the flag, it is the Chamber of Commerce of Archduke Byrne.
The team walked for a long time and walked out of the canyon, and suddenly the eyes opened up.
This is a huge basin, with tractors harvesting ripe wheat, and cattle and sheep eating leisurely on the pasture. There is a bunker on both sides of the mountain pass, and in the distance there is a huge castle built halfway up the mountain. A team of The knights are coming towards the mountain pass here with colorful flags.
