Chapter 640 Are You a Fairy?

Grand Duke Wessen and his fiancée went on a long vacation. The motorcade stretched for nearly 4 kilometers. The main streets they passed through were under traffic control for more than half an hour when they left the city.

Before departure, Dafranche looked at the motorcade and sighed: "If I can take one-tenth of the cars with me when I go home, I will be satisfied."

Frederick was personally checking the motorcade. When he saw him, he went over and asked curiously: "Prince Dafranche, how did you get in?"

There were many businessmen accompanying them this time. They didn't know Frederick's plan, but they thought that they would make a fortune and build good relationships by following Grand Duke Wessen, so they paid for their own cars and followed him.

Dafranche now knew that the young man who ate oysters with the captain on the ship was Frederick. He also heard that he had boasted to a playwright in the Kingdom of Sardinia before, and the play written by the playwright based on himself was adapted by Frederick. He felt that everyone was familiar with each other.

He asked seriously, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Frederick said with interest, "Let's hear the lie first."

Davranche replied, "A friend of mine asked me to be a driver."

Frederick asked again, "What about the truth?"

Davranche looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, and whispered, "I plan to sell my goods to the Bohemian region."

Frederick smiled and said, "The place we are going to is all mountains, far from the sea, and we have never seen seafood. Some people regard octopuses as sea monsters, which are not easy to sell. ”

Davranche said seriously: "Because of this, if I sell seafood there, I will make a lot of money."

"This time I brought three trucks of the best dried oysters, dried shrimps and dried squids, and persuaded the chef to show them at the banquet."

Frederick smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job."

In this era when the old order was broken and the new order was gradually established, it was the golden age for people like Davranche who dared to think and do, were not bound by common sense, and were good at seizing and creating opportunities to shine.

The convoy arrived at Reinajin, the capital of Putz State, about 100 kilometers east of Weissenburg City, at noon.

This place used to be the capital of the Regens League. It is located on a once prosperous trade route. It can reach Venice in the south and the port on the southern coast of the North Sea in the north.

Frederick and Maria took a short rest, held a grand banquet in the afternoon to entertain Putz State officials and local gentry, and delivered an important speech.

The next day, the convoy continued on the road, driving eastward for more than 100 kilometers and arrived at Eisenstein, a border town in the Duchy of Wessen.

The permanent population of Eisenstein is less than 1,000, half of whom are border guards and customs staff. The number of caravans traveling between the Duchy of Wessen and the Bohemian region is greater than the permanent population.

After arriving in the town, Frederick and Maria held an informal buffet to entertain local officials, gentry and merchants, and delivered unimportant speeches.

After a night's rest, the convoy set off again, crossed the border, and soon arrived at the Iron Mine Town four kilometers away.

There used to be an iron mine in the Iron Mine Town. After the mine was exhausted more than a hundred years ago, only the name remained, so even though it was adjacent to the Duchy of Wessen, no Wessen Army grew up.

There are quartz mines and limestone near the town. Today, the main industry is the production of glass crafts, mainly animal ornaments such as birds and deer commonly seen in the woods, which are well-known in the Rhine Alliance and the Osmaga Empire.

The town's lord, Sir Arzbetin, was surprised and delighted to learn that Grand Duke Wessen was coming to travel and stay for a few days.

The population of the iron ore town was three or four hundred, and the armed force was only a dozen forest hunters. Not to mention the neighbors with bad intentions, even the monsters in the forest were enough to give him a headache.

If you serve this gentleman well and get close to him, the benefits will be limitless.

If you annoy him, your life will be over.

The convoy stopped in a pasture outside the town and quickly set up three huge and luxurious tents.

Almost all the people in the town came out and gathered outside the cordon to watch.

Everyone heard that Grand Duke Wessen invited the residents of the town to attend a dance tonight.

Sir Arzbetin invited Frederick to visit the town and came to the Chamber of Commerce that sells glass decorations to introduce the only local specialty that can be shown off.

Maria did not join them. She was interested in the carvings on the walls of the wooden houses in the town, so she walked around the town by herself.

She walked to the backyard of a house and saw a girl in a gray cloth dress and a dusty face busy under the pear tree in the yard.

The girl was sitting on a chair with a basin on her legs, picking peas from the wood ash in the plate.

Maria asked the girl curiously: "What are you doing?"

She knew a little about agriculture. She knew about Frederick's blood powder for seed mixing and that when planting potatoes, you should smear wood ash on the cut surface, but she had never heard of doing this for peas.

The girl looked up and saw a lady standing outside the fence not far away. She was wearing a water blue silk dress, her skin was as white as snow, her smooth and soft long hair was as black as charcoal, and her lips were as red as ripe cherries.

It was the first time she had seen such a charming and beautiful person, so she couldn't help asking, "Are you the fairy from the Black Lake?"

Maria's dark eyes turned, and she smiled and said, "I heard from the bird that a kind girl was in trouble, so I came here."

The girl was surprised and said, "Are you really a fairy?!"

"My stepmother won't let me attend the dance tonight, and she told me to pick all the peas out of the ashes within an hour before she agreed to let me go."

Maria knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, and said to her, "Wait here at seven o'clock tonight."

She had studied soul magic from Psyche for many years, but she didn't use it normally, so it was a piece of cake for the girl to be confused at this time.

The girl was in a trance for a moment, and found that there was nothing outside the fence, as if no one had appeared just now.

She herself was not sure whether someone had come just now, and she sighed and continued to pick beans.

When Frederick returned to his tent in the camp, he saw that Maria had just finished whispering with Taro.

The weather this summer was quite hot, and Frederick was sweating a lot after walking around outside.

Taro took a towel from the shelf next to him and wet it with water, and went over to wipe the sweat on Frederick's forehead and neck, and finally turned the towel over skillfully to help him wipe his face.

Frederick took the iced happy water handed over by Maria and asked, "Did you have fun today?"

Maria said with a smile, "I'm going to do a good thing today!"

Frederick raised his eyebrows and asked, "What good thing?"

Maria shook her head mysteriously and said, "I won't tell you."

Seeing this, Frederick stopped asking. After drinking half a bottle of happy water, he said, "Let's go to the Black Lake to stay for two days tomorrow. It's a few kilometers away. Let's walk there."

Maria said happily, "Okay!"

"I heard today that there are fairies in the lake!"

Frederick nodded thoughtfully.
