"Marquis Abbe, have you heard any anecdote about this Countess of Cordillera?" Fivinlie XVIII suddenly turned his head and asked.

The palace steward standing behind him was accustomed to this kind of jumping question, and replied without the slightest surprise: "Of course I have heard of it. ”

"But I've never heard you talk about it." Of course, Fivinlie XVIII did not express dissatisfaction, but had a somewhat inquiring meaning.

"As for the military operation, the relevant departments have already formed a report and handed it to you, so naturally I don't need to talk about it. However, since you have inquired about it, there are two things concerning the Countess of Cordillera which I am investigating, and I am going to give you a definite report. Marquis Abbe said.

Being able to serve as the head of the palace is someone that His Majesty the Emperor can absolutely trust. Fei Wenlie XVIII just said it in passing, also wanting to liven up the atmosphere, but he didn't expect such an answer, so he couldn't help but be interested, and asked: "What are the two things?" ”

The matter was not confirmed, and the Marquis of Abbe was not going to say it, but since Fei Wenlie XVIII asked, he could only answer truthfully.

After a little silence, Marquis Abbe spoke: "The first thing is that the report of the relevant departments only summarizes the results of the battle, and does not describe the battle process carefully, I found a clue after reading it, that is, the Cordillera city defense army used some magic weapons in the battle, otherwise it is impossible to achieve fruitful results with fewer casualties every time, even the regular army of the empire cannot do this." ”

Of course, Fiwenlie XVIII remembered the report and thought about it for a moment. Knowing that what the court governor said was the truth, he nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"When the Countess of the Cordillera arrived in the Cordillera territory this spring, she began to disarm and build a collective farm......"

"Collective farm?"

"Yes, she gathered all those who had no land together and set up a farm, and then these people would cultivate the fields of the lord in a unified manner, and the remuneration would be distributed according to their efforts, and in addition to this, everyone could get a share of the land, but it was forbidden to buy and sell ......"

It's kind of interesting.

Fivinel XVIII did not care about the efficiency of the collective farms or anything. But a teenage girl is able to do that...... Even if there are people around to point you out. It's already quite difficult.

"None of this is the point,"

The Marquis Abbe changed his words and continued: "The wheat they sown in February will ripen in June. And the yield per mu has reached more than 300 catties. Immediately sowing the next crop of wheat began. If there are no accidents, it should be ripe at the end of October. ”

"It can't be!"

Fivinel XVIII and the Empress, Leonardo. Beirut said in unison, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"陛xià. I don't think it's possible either, but it's true. I have not received further confirmation of the details. However, since the Countess of Cordillera was coming to Heidelberg, it was time to inquire with him personally. Marquis Abbe said.

"Well, when she comes to Heidelberg, you will bring her to me. Wheat that can ripen in four months, if it is really so magical, it will greatly solve the food problem of the empire. When Fivenel XVIII said this, he was already a little excited.

……

"Ahh Hathaway, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly sneezed, she rubbed her eyes, which were a little sour from drawing for too long, and then began to move her arms and shoulders.

"My lord, shall we have an event?" Bi Lin. Hegel was a little eager to try it.

"Make no mistake, this is the main road, and we will soon get to Heidelberg." Hathaway rolled her eyes, this female guard is a little big or small now, she challenges herself at every opportunity, why doesn't she compare with the Lord of Shadows?

Leaving the Cordillera Plateau this time, it is estimated that many people will pay attention to her whereabouts, so she rarely shows up along the way, as for Vermont City...... She didn't even think about going back, lest everyone feel uncomfortable. In fact, if it weren't for the unavoidable, she wouldn't even want to come to Heidelberg, where there are countless dignitaries and dignitaries, and she doesn't like to socialize.

Heidelberg, it's still the same.

When dusk came, the most prosperous city of the Ostiga Empire was immediately lit up, the sky was blackened by cooking smoke, the air was warmed by the continuous salons of the nobles, and even the beggars and homeless people in the streets disappeared.

The city has always been noisy, with merchants from all over the world, scholars from all over the world, and the mercenaries who fill the streets seem to be much more honest, but they can't hide the unruly look on their faces.

Puper. Dirouet, however, did not join any of the salon meetings...... He hadn't attended such a meeting for more than half a year. It's not that he's been abandoned by this circle, it's that he really doesn't have time.

It was already September, and I remember that at the beginning of the year, he and a few friends sent Hathaway and his party out of Heidelberg, although they knew that the young earl was extraordinary, but they did not expect her to make such a move. Originally, the family thought that it was dishonoring for him to run errands behind the Countess in a deserted area, but now that this talk was fading, his father had instructed him to do his best to support and cooperate with the Countess of the Cordillera and become her confidant...... Of course, this qiē has a big premise, that is, it must be beneficial to the family.

What's good for the family?

This question is Pupper. Dirouet couldn't answer, because there were so many answers. But he knew one thing, this opportunity only appeared once, maybe only once, for him, if he didn't know what he really needed, he would miss it...... "It's in my interest, it's in the family's interest!" ”

This is the only answer he gave. Therefore, he was more careful about Hathaway's affairs.

Just like yesterday, the whole day was already arranged, in the morning in the fireworks factory to enter the shipment inspection, the next day to go outside the city to meet Hathaway and his party. But just as he and Jessica leave the factory as usual, a kidnapping of him and Jessica takes place right in front of the manor's gates.

"It was six, well, maybe seven, and they rushed up just as we were about to board the carriage, and luckily Jessica was already in the carriage. My coachman knocked one down with a whip, I drew my sword and blocked the doorway to prevent them from rushing into the carriage, and in the end Jessica killed them with magic, but the guys still left this one on my hand. ”

Puper. Drue said as he rolled up his sleeves, revealing the scars on his arms, potions were far less effective than healing magic in this regard, and even if they could heal the wounds quickly, they would still leave scars.

Hathaway's mood was a little irritable, she didn't expect to encounter such a trouble soon after arriving in Heidelberg. She had already heard about it before, and many people were interested in the magic fireworks business...... It's not that no one imitates it, it's that no one makes it better than her, and at this point, she does have a head start. However, because this business is in charge of the second prince, she doesn't care very much, and now it seems that she believes too much in the ability of the second prince, if the factory continues to stay in Heidelberg, not only will the business be in danger, but even Jessica will be in trouble.

"Who do you think is the most suspicious?" Hathaway motioned for Ilona to give Popper. Dirouet pour tea.

"Caesar."

"Caesar. Fei Wenli? Hathaway was a little surprised.

"That's right."

Puper. Dirouet affirmed: "You know what? Recently, I heard that the eldest prince has several business troubles, and the second prince has made a lot of profits in magic fireworks, and before that, someone contacted me and Miss Jessica, hoping that we could work for them, and even my family has contacted these people, although they have not revealed that they are sent by the eldest prince, but I also have my sources. ”

"Your Excellency Dirouet, you have to go to Mandy Gaza City, no problem, right?" Hathaway asked.

"That's all there is to it, I'll start preparing as soon as I get back." Puper. Diroue was a little silent, he knew that day would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. However, the thought of making a big splash in another new world made him feel a little excited.

"That's it, it is estimated that after the failure of this kidnapping, they will stop for a while, you take this opportunity to prepare, those who are not willing to the Cordillera Plateau will give them their wages to stay, and I will inform the second prince." Hathaway said.

The main employees of the factory are those alchemy apprentices, who are all hired by the second prince to work for them, and they don't have to worry about staying or not. As for the average employee, it is not a problem at all, and a more suitable candidate will be found in the Cordillera Plateau.

"Okay, then I'll take my leave now." Puper. Dirouet immediately got up and left, the relocation of the factory was a big deal and there was a lot to deal with.

For the second prince, Hathaway was a little dissatisfied. Di Rue can know that someone is attacking him, but with the ability of the second prince, how can he not know? I just don't know why he's kept silent, but that's not a reason. However, the relocation of the factory was announced at the beginning of the establishment, so now it is just a notice.

"My lord, what do you need us to do?" Stilwell. Ponson asked.

"Well, contact the mole of Heidelberg for me." Hathaway's face was slightly gloomy.

Everyone looked at her in understanding...... Sure enough, my own adults are not willing to suffer this loss in vain, and they will definitely take action.

"Jessica, you're doing a good job, come back to Mandy Gaza City with me this time, and I'll have more important things for you and Linna." Hathaway smiled a little as she looked at her maid.

In her with Puper. While Druie was talking, the Second Prince had sent someone to invite her to a party, but Ilona claimed that the Count had already fallen asleep, and the person sent by the Second Prince looked at the purple sun that had not yet set in the sky, and after thinking about it, he went back, believing that the Second Prince would understand that he had been rejected.
