Japanese-style hot spring inns are popular with the world's aristocracy, and ancient Roman-style baths are popular with many people.

Especially wealthy merchants and adventurers, who preferred to socialize in the ancient Roman baths in winter.

This kind of bath is generally the size of a football field, with a public hot water hall, a warm water hall and a cold water hall in the middle, a massage room, a steam room and a rest room on both sides, and an independent bath on the second floor.

There are unspoken rules in the bathroom that prohibit quarrels and fights, so many people choose to mediate and resolve some conflicts between the two sides here.

In an en-suite bathroom on the second floor, young maids are applying salted olive oil to two people lying on soft and comfortable massage tables.

Locals believe that this combination of olive oil and salt kills pathogenic bacteria on the skin and is also effective in cleansing and maintaining the skin.

Charles thinks this massage can make it more enjoyable for him.

After the massage, the maids rinsed Charles with warm water and helped him into the steaming bath.

On the other side of the bath, Viscount Berardi from the city of Messina said to Charles: "Your Excellency, are you satisfied with the maidens from Messina?"

Charles leaned against the bath and said, "This is a delicious poison for me." ”

The mature and handsome face of the Viscount Berardi suddenly became embarrassed, and the lack of a single wool in the Messina region last autumn had caused him and the nobles to suffer heavy losses.

After figuring out the cause of the incident, they actively launched public relations activities, but Charles, who was able to make a decision at that time, ran to the prairie early.

That night, as soon as Charles's companion had won the drinking contest, the news was sent back to Messina through the Magical Teleportation Bureau, and at noon the next day, Viscount Berardi, the envoy of Messina City, arrived in Trapani City on a dragon flight with various gifts.

As the saying goes, harmony makes money, and Charles continued: "I still have feelings for the city of Messina, which has left me with good memories, and Linda loves your flower bread there. ”

"Since it is not your intention to feed me to the wolves, then I will not be embarrassed by you. ”

"I'll have someone contact you, the wool or something will be here soon. ”

Viscount Berardi was so moved that he was about to cry, and he thought that he would be harassed by Charles in every way, so he even brought his own son and daughter, and arranged them in separate bathrooms on either side of the next door.

Charleston paused for a moment and asked, "I heard that I blew out a vein that night with the magic released by the magic scroll?"

"That magic scroll was quietly given to me by Queen Victoria, but I accidentally took it wrong, and it was a big loss. ”

Berardi's face changed suddenly, but he quickly returned to normal.

The fact that the forbidden spell that night blew out a vein of ore was known only to a few high-ranking people, because after exploration it was discovered that it was a strategically valuable magic crystal mine, so the king came to eat the meat, and the local nobles of Messina could only drink some soup.

After figuring out that Charles was dropped as a decoy and the forbidden spell appeared at the same time and place, many people were surprised to find that the forbidden spell seemed to be made by Charles.

Charles said that the forbidden spell was cast by himself with a magic scroll, which made Berardi breathe a sigh of relief, and if Charles could cast that level of magic, it would be a big problem.

As for Queen Victoria giving Charles a magic scroll or something, Berardi thinks it's normal, who doesn't quietly stuff the child with something at the bottom of the box when his child goes out to practice.

It's just that Charles's implication is to ask for financial compensation, which is a bit of a head-scratcher.

The forbidden spell-level magic scroll may not be a particularly valuable thing in the eyes of the elven queen, but it is still a great loss of vitality for the nobles like Berardi.

At this time, Charles said: "I will not let you lose money, you just let the one who will mine, and give me the money when she digs enough to pay me money." ”

"Really...... Thank you so much!" Berardi was so moved that he almost cried, he didn't expect Charles to be so eloquent, and gently reveal the matter.

As for the culprit, whose illegitimate daughter came, it would be nice to be able to go to the mines, and if Charles said that he would let the dogs bite her to death, the nobles of Messina would be happy to provide excellent hunting dogs.

At this time, Charles suddenly said, "Please help me with a message." ”

Berardi asked seriously, "I wonder who His Excellency the Earl wants me to bring a message to?"

Charles narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell Allen, when the moon rises on August 15 this year, I will wait for him there in the stone forest outside Qiqiu City." ”

Berardi was stunned on the spot, he knew the hatred between Charles and the fourth prince Allen, but everyone had deliberately downplayed this matter for so many years.

Now Charles is so open about the fight, which reminds Berardi of the hatred between the two of them.

In particular, Charles had just promised to provide wool to the Messina region, if Charles had any three strengths and two weaknesses in the battle for revenge......

Even soaking in the warm hot water, Berardi suddenly felt cold all over.

The fact that he was sent as a lobbyist shows that his brain is not stupid.

Charles's wool trade had already been able to influence the economy of the Kingdom of Bischberg, and they were subjected to a wool embargo in Messina, which was treated as a winter joke by the nobles of the rest of the country.

If Charles had been killed by Allen in August, then half of the wool on the prairie would have entered the entire Bischberg kingdom.

When the time comes, the other four countries of the Northlands, especially the kingdoms of Fringen and Biberach, which are adjacent to the steppes, will naturally smile until their faces cramp while taking over the wool of the steppes to start the textile industry.

On the other hand, when the Maccaden family was first in trouble, Messina City, as a port city of the Great River, faced the threat of blockade by the elven fleet, and Viscount Berardi remembered this vividly.

In case Charles really dies at the hands of Allen, then the neighbors who have a holiday with him in the north will make money by taking over the wool industry, the river in the south will be blocked, and the old enemy Duke Redkin in the east will inevitably be eyeing him, and the second son of the Duchy of Milan, an ally on the other side of the river, Genaro, is now mixed up with Charles......

Berardi didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he began to think about whether to introduce his daughter to Genaro tomorrow, so as to leave a way out for the family.

It took him a long moment to calm his mind, and then he said solemnly, "Your Excellency, I know what to do. ”

Charles smiled, then stood up from the handmaids, got dressed and left the bath.

After exiting the baths, he went into the side alley, circled the intricate alleys several times, shook off the people who were following him, and used teleportation to come to the church of the Temple of Light in the city.

"Wow......"

Charles knocked on the back door of the church, and it was immediately opened.

Charles followed an elderly monk to the dormitory and then into a room.

"Mama, I'm back. ”

No one could have imagined that Grandma St. Angel would quietly come to the city of Trapani to meet Charles.

Mama St. Angel's gaze was still so kind when she looked at Charles, and she asked, "Did you let it go?"

Charles nodded.

Grandma St. Angel's nose moved, and then she asked Charles with a smirk, "Are those girls beautiful?"

Charles scratched his head dumbly.

Grandma St. Angel pointed to the chair next to Charles to sit down, and said, "I didn't finish what I said to you just now, now I can be sure that Alan came out of the labor camp of the Temple of Light in advance." ”

Charles suddenly realized and said, "So you just asked me to go out and make an appointment with him?"

Grandma St. Angel nodded and said, "Many nobles will send their children who have made mistakes to the labor camp to be educated, and it is common for people to come out in advance. ”

"Antoine is Allen's father no matter what he says, and naturally wants his son to survive this catastrophe, so he let Allen out a few days ago. ”

"Eren came out and took the scabbard of the Flame Excalibur to the south, and may continue to the lava hell to find the Flaming Excalibur. ”

"That's the territory of the Flame Temple, and Mama can't help you. ”

Charles leaned over and took Grandma St. Angel's hand, and said gratefully, "Grandma...... Thank you so much. ”

"But don't worry, even if he can get his hands on the Flame Excalibur, I'll be fine. ”

Grandma St. Angel reached out and gently touched Charles's head, and said, "Although you have more artifacts, don't take the enemy lightly." ”

Then she took out a lot of things and stuffed them into Charles's hand, and said, "You wore this shirt and trousers in it that day, and these shoes will automatically adjust the size like the mask, don't worry, I've washed all of them." ”

Charles looked at the shirt and shoes that exuded the power of light in his hand in amazement, and was speechless for a while.

Grandma St. Angel continued to stuff Charles, "This necklace is for women, but no one can see it when it is worn inside. ”

"You wear this belt too, just like the one you gave Mira. ”

"These earrings ...... You still wear it, in fact, you can wear a mask. ”

After a while, Grandma St. Angel stuffed a bunch of hallows equipment into Charles's hand.

Charles looked at Mama in shock, his mouth opened a few times, and he couldn't speak.

Grandma St. Angel smiled and said, "I pulled these things from my brother and them, and they were all given to us when the god of light came down that year, and so did the mask. ”

"Remember to return it to them when you run out, but it's okay if you don't remember. ”

"I told them that I treat you as my own son. ”

"I'm old, maybe one day I'll leave when I'm full and go to bed, and if you have any difficulties, you can take these and go to them for help. ”

"Mama......"

Charles's eyes moistened, he didn't expect that St. Angel's mother would do this for herself, and she could pull the equipment given by the priesthood from the Pope, cardinal, and knight of the Light Temple.

Mama St. Angel patted Charles on the head and said, "Silly boy, what tears." ”

"You still have a long way to go, you have to go well. ”

Charles stood up with the gear in his hand, bowed deeply to Grandma St. Angel, and said, "I will, Mama." ”
