Frederick sat in the Accord on the third floor, and when he saw Ferdinand pointing his hand at him opposite, he suddenly felt that he was really unlucky, and he would be disgusted by someone when he ate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In order to entertain the lord of his hometown, Lane spent money and booked the third floor of the Accord three days in advance to entertain Frederick; Lane did not want his relationship with Frederick to be too eye-catching, attracting gossip of collusion with warlords in other towns, so he chose the third floor with restraint, and did not compete with other nobles for the mansions on the fourth and fifth floors. The difficulties and intentions of it, Ryan has already apologized politely.

But after ordering, and before he could say a word, Frederick caught a glimpse of Ferdinand eating twenty meters above his head. In order to facilitate the viewing of the competition, the box only had three walls, so Ferdinand had already seen Frederick seated, but Frederick sat in the soft sunlight, while Ryan sat in the shadows, and the prince could not see the identity of the banqueter.

The old king, sitting beside Ferdinand, was looking at Ferdinand's finger when he met Frederick's gaze, looked condescendingly, and frowned. Frederick had no choice but to push away his chair and stand up, and bow to the old king.

The old king didn't even nod, and went back to talk to Ferdinand without any reaction.

Surprised by Frederick's politeness, Ryan put his head into the sunlight to catch a glimpse of Elena's skirt dangling on the fifth floor, and added, "Oops," Ferdinand said, "Ferdinand said that he would give the king a banquet to watch a peerless performance, so that everyone could see the bravery of the fearless knights. I didn't expect it to be today, I crashed and crashed...... Your Highness Frederick, you don't have to deal with them after you mean, we'll eat ours. ”

Frederick also saw Elena, and her heart flowed with a hot cheese-like sweet and sour tenderness. But he asked Ryan out on other business, and had to try to leave the Empress behind, nodded to Ryan, and tucked a napkin into his collar. Sunlight poured down through the grass-green glass skylight, cutting the table into light and dark, Frederick sat in the light, Otto and Ophelia sat at the junction of light and dark, and Ryan sat carefully in the shadow of the box, giving up the superior viewing seat to the guests, and the old king would not see him entertaining them.

Ryan wore no military uniform, a white coat with a sword and musket under it, black-rimmed glasses, spike boots, and a calm conversation as he spoke. The Sven who hid it in his body, and the elegance of his heart, made others dare not squander his patience at all, and the more polite Ryan was, the more careful and respectful the other party served. At least the waiter was flattered, lest he take care of it.

While instructing Florian to open the bottle and sober up, Ryan rubbed his brother's golden head, and said to Frederick with a smile: "The foolish brother is obsessed with painting and does not do his job, and you still have a place for him at the 12th round table, so as not to disgrace the Corrit family, it is really too careful." ”

Florian didn't dare to fight back.

Frederick smiled frankly, "All 12 families have made immortal contributions to William's Castle. Without the princes, there would have been no golden age of Fort William's rule over Bafaria. You are far away in Wiener, and you have no time to be separated, and it is only natural that Brother Ling will inherit the seat of the Corrit family. And Florian is not unprofessional, his paintings are widely circulated, far-reaching, and the circulation is already considerable, bringing us a lot of taxes. ”

Florian trembled, secretly thinking that Lao Tzu's painting of the little yellow book could be boasted by the lord of the high-end atmosphere, it was really good to take care of my face, and this favor could not be repaid.

Ryan didn't know that his younger brother was making up the gray industry, and when he heard Frederick's unchanging evaluation, he immediately put his mind at ease, put away his strict tutor, looked at his frightened brother lovingly, and asked Frederick softly: "In this case, I am relieved a lot." I don't have time to go home, and I'm most afraid that my brother's playthings will be lost and go astray. The younger brother will be disciplined by His Royal Highness Lao. Then he looked at Florian and said, "Wake up first, and sit down." ”

Florian's face was as white as paper, his lips trembled, he didn't know where to put his hands, he sat there like a frightened hen, and he didn't respond to poking him.

Frederick looked at Florian, signaled him to calm down, and then spared no effort to calm Lane's heart for him: "Florian is an indispensable member of the round table and has a great reputation, please rest assured. ”

"My brother told me about visiting the factory. Ryan handed Ophelia and Otto the decanted red wine one by one, so as not to snub them, and went straight to the point with Frederick while concentrating: "The arsenal factory involves military secrets, and outsiders must not be allowed to visit it. I am in the military industry, and I can smell that times are changing. To the west, the Fran Empire has eliminated arquebuses and is gradually transitioning to flintlock muskets, and one day even the dragoons may not be able to withstand the powerful volleys of fire. The research on firearms in the arsenal was at a critical juncture, and the flintlock muskets they made from the blood of beasts were used to refine fire essence, and if they were equipped with civilian cavalry, they were likely to form a new army that could not be underestimated. ”

Ryan recounted softly and explained the difficulties: "Therefore, all the arsenal factories are strictly guarded by the Praetorian Guard, and three layers of defense are laid out, and spies must be killed if they are caught, and the policy is so strict that I believe that the old king will never approve the application of 'Bafarian technicians to visit the arsenal factory'." You don't even have to mention it to him so as not to annoy him. ”

"Yes, I hesitated and didn't mention it, so I begged you. Frederick sighed and said sincerely: "After the defeat, the industry and armaments of the three great powers of the Fran Empire, Sirisha, and Purusha will definitely advance by leaps and bounds, and Bafaria can no longer lag behind. Your new Praetorian Guard army is uniformly equipped with flintlock muskets, so that the civilian population also has considerable combat effectiveness - imagine that three years later, the enemy's 30,000 musketeers advance step by step, even if Lancelot is powerful, the 300 elite cavalry of Fort William will only be spilled on the battlefield with no survivors, and the heavy infantry will be eliminated and will not be spared. ”

He sighed, closed his eyes and drank: "The commoner base is too large, far exceeding the aristocracy. The technology that arms civilians is terrifying. The gap between economy and industry could be remedied, but if Bafaria did not produce musket teams within three years, it could be directly annexed in the next war. Outdated equipment can make tactics stale, which is the deadliest of all. ”

Ryan has a kinship. He was silent for a long time, and then said gloomily: "Forgive me for not being able to do anything. ”

Ophelia and Florian couldn't say a word, one reserved, the other cautious, and both bowed their heads silently to drink. Otto suddenly smiled and said with a pleasant face: "Today was originally to play together, why did the conversation become heavy? His Excellency Lane enlisted in the army as a top student of the seminary, and climbed to the high position of the right commander of the forbidden army alone, which is commendable. No matter when, no matter what, if there is a difficulty, just send a message, and the William family will help you, regardless of the reason. Cheers to fellow countrymen. ”

This was said extremely beautifully, and Ryan relaxed, and smiled, "I'm just a humanoid seal to stop Griffith Farina's tyranny. But if Your Excellency is so generous, Ryan won't squirm. No matter when, no matter what, Ryan will help wherever he can. All for one, one for all. He raised his glass.

Ophelia hurriedly went to get the wine glass, touched it with everyone, turned her head and took a small sip of red wine, and when she swallowed it, she blushed, and said to Frederick happily, "I like this sweetness." Looking at him, he mischievously took an extra sip.

The atmosphere eased. Otto glanced at Frederick, and the brothers' eyes met, and it was immediately self-evident that they tacitly agreed not to mention the matter of the arsenal. When Ryan asked about Ophelia, Frederick smiled and said, "This is my naughty sister, bring her to Wiener to relax." ”
