The Swabian kings were connected by a branch of the "Rhine" that flowed through several countries.

The Vikings in Northern Europe also invaded by this river, so it was closed for a time, but as the Vikings took root in various places and were baptized, the confrontation was no longer as fierce as it was at the beginning, and the Rhine River was reopened without bridges, so there were many small boats, traveling in groups, and carrying out all kinds of trade.

There are many vineyards on the banks of the Rhine, so winemaking is also a major trade in Swabia. And it is becoming more and more prosperous, and the creation of "beer" with malt, water, and hops as the main ingredients in the country is all the rage.

The product became one of the best-selling goods in the North Sea, and the number of merchants who came to Baden to buy from it reached a new high.

In addition, when encountering the martial arts competition, the air in the royal capital was filled with all kinds of wine and price shouts.

Vesta's fiefdom was about two or three days away from the royal capital.

The sacred and noble Holy White Deer Banner can only be used by kings, queens, and queens, so the flag of Vesta is not a holy cross, but a smaller "holy grail".

After a brief inspection, she crossed the King's Road and followed the noble train into the palace.

At one time, she thought that the back garden of the royal palace was the most beautiful existence in the world, and that the "male nobles" were all like her grandfather's, but she did not realize her mistake until she entered the Roman court and looked at the nobles and monks who had no beards and beards, and when she saw Bran.

When the carriage was about to enter the depths of the palace.

"Lord, lord......"

Not an adult, a sir, a lady, or a lady, but a "lord", and when she heard three shouts, Vesta asked the servant to draw the curtain, a title that her grandfather had given her.

A noble carriage ran parallel to her and entered the palace together.

When I pulled it away, it was Wallon of the Grana family, and Vesta didn't hate this person, but he didn't like it either.

He didn't have as much ill feelings toward Viking descendants as his aunt, they were all Schwabians anyway.

"My lord, I heard that you participated in the border battle, and you were not injured, right?"

Vesta was polite and greeted first.

The person who was greeted was happy to respond.

"It's okay, and it's a big victory, do you know, this time a total of more than 500 people were captured, and for a long time, the Star Mercenary Regiment that disturbed our border was captured by more than 200 people......"

After the accidental murder of his father, Cardina Braden officially became a baron of the border, and as soon as the news came out, the Swabian side thought that this was an opportunity, so they sent the Grana family to the country.

After being the Viking ancestors, the Grana family was very fierce with its fiefdoms.

Won a great victory at the border, and took a lot of territory from Cardina and Becky in one fell swoop.

Wallonia, as one of the pioneers, a young man in the family who had high hopes, was in high spirits this time and won a big victory.

When the coachmen of the two carriages saw their masters chatting, they slowed down the speed of the carriage very interestingly, so that Wallon's eyebrows fluttered and the whole battle was told for eight minutes.

"I've heard that grandfather will be very happy this time, and maybe he will reward you with a lot of land."

"I don't want land or weapons to be rewarded, I just want to be with you, my lord."

The sudden confession made Vesta nervous, and after nodding and smiling to force his composure, he closed the curtain. Then the two carriages went in separate ways, each to a different part of the palace.

Wallon was disappointed and lowered the curtains.

Wallon's parents were strict with him since he was a child, and he didn't have a single intact skin on his body until he was ten years old, and when he first met Vesta with distress pointing to his skin and feeling sorry for himself, he remembered vividly.

A few years later, Wallon entered the court as a young bodyguard for the royal family, and at that time, Wallon was still very rusty and could not read his face, but Vesta often helped him and gradually reassured himself. Wallon then decided that she would be the only partner in his life.

But the woman didn't want to get into Wallonia's life path.

Vesta drove to the place where the ladies of the backyard were located, and the yellow-haired king Deman listened to the prophecy of the astrologer "ten sons and ten daughters", worked hard to create bloodline, and raised many lovers and illegitimate children in the palace, of course, in order to avoid "being green", he was very strict with his lover.

Secret tracking and other means are used very diligently.

If a man dares to break into the forbidden palace, then he will learn the Byzantine method of dealing with the unfaithful - castration!

……

"Oh, when I asked for a translator earlier, I clearly said that the price of the transaction was six, but why did it suddenly become eight (English)."

"Eight, don't even think about leaving (German)."

"I'm going to find a translator."

"Don't go, or I'll inform the city guards (in German)."

On the streets of Baden at this time, a wool merchant from "Ireland" was pulling a leather merchant with the support of the aristocracy.

The two men spoke different languages, and if the goods were not sold at this time, then there would be an overpayment of customs duties in the next place, and the wool merchant could only give in and successfully get rid of the goods.

"The untrustworthy Schwabian, the bastard baptized with shit and urine...... Today's price is a pound of eggs (a pound of currency) and a bundle of lumber ......"

In the future, the British overlord, the ten counties of the northern kingdom, Durham, who was just a small merchant at the moment, returned to the hotel and wrote down these experiences in his "Southbound Experience", with greetings and "fragrant" words, as well as price records.

When he was done, he put away the booklet and pulled out another yellowed parchment.

Parchment paper is not easy to damage, and although it is bulky, some important books or documents and diaries are still used by nobles to record.

The cover of the book reads "Pilgrimage Experience".

Durham washed his hands with clean water and dried them before starting to put down his pen.

These are the last words of his wife before she died, hoping that she would have the opportunity to go to the church in Rome in the future and ask for forgiveness.

Duren took it to heart, took advantage of the fact that he had just sold a batch of sheep, had plenty of funds, and took two servants on the road.

Generally speaking, people from the north, if they want to think of Rome, have several routes.

Take the "pure sea route", go south through the "Bay of Biscay", which is mainly the Frankish naval area, then enter the periphery of the Iberian Peninsula, and then cross the "Strait of Gibraltar" into the Mediterranean.

Due to the rampant piracy, the location was to the north, along the territory of the Bright World, from coastal cities such as Genoa, through Sicily, into "Rome".

But there are too many seas to pass through, and a storm is enough to bury the bottom of the sea, so it is not the first choice for people from the north.

The second is to take a boat into "Normandy" in North Francia, first to the Parisian church, and then a long overland journey to Provence, and from there to Rome.

However, the Northlanders are often bullied and looked down upon in the Franks, so Duren does not choose it.

Eventually, he chose to take a North Sea merchant ship into Denmark, and then from the banks of the Rhine to the south, and quickly into northern Italy.

There was also a small trade along the road to earn a little difference, and the donkey was bought by Durham when he first entered Denmark to check in his luggage.
