Chapter 16: Treasure Map
It takes an hour to get from the city of Banana by horse-drawn carriage to the royal capital of Orin.
The royal capital is not in the center of the island, but in the southeast, because there is a freshwater lake on the side of which the first settlers built their cities hundreds of years ago.
The Kingdom of Frut, one of the countries of the world government, the current king is Frut XV, according to Manli, this king is a sleek little old man, except for major festivals in the kingdom, he rarely appears.
Now it is the eldest prince Eppo who manages the royal capital, and as for the city of Banana, it is the second prince Gru.
Along the way, they passed through plantations, and all kinds of botanical gardens were also exposed to Bacchus's telekinesis, just like the colonial plantations in the previous life, with the presence of slaves.
Some of the more dangerous tasks were done by slaves, such as digging for honey, which is a really big bee......
It seems that all the kingdoms of the pirate world are similar, the class is solidified, and the aristocracy has a lot of power.
But none of this had anything to do with Bacchus, the carriage moved quickly, and the two ladies in the carriage talked a lot, but they always inadvertently led to the king.
Bacchus was secretly speechless to the two of them, this intelligence person, really not frank, want me to help and say it directly.
"I said you're enough, say, Emilia, what can I do for you?"
Emilia quietly winked, "We want to know about the King, Bacchus, do you have a solution?" ”
"A little thing, that's all?"
"Little brother still has to protect us, I got an admission ticket for a private banquet through the relationship of a lady in Banana City this time, and it is said that there will be royal collections for transfer at the banquet."
Before Manli finished speaking, Bacchus understood what she meant, it was nothing more than that the two princes did not deal with each other, and they were labeled as the second prince this time.
"No problem, it's all trivial, don't leave me around you during the banquet."
Entering the main road of Orin City, Bacchus seems to be in the Middle Ages, no wonder Emilia wants him to change into formal clothes, if you don't want to be too high-profile here, it is better to follow the local customs.
There were a lot of carriages, and from time to time bells rang.
The pedestrians on the road are all well-dressed, and interestingly, there are few fruit shops here, and the most are perfumes, essential oils, cosmetics, and various fruit-based liquors.
Wine, champagne, rum and more, as well as a variety of sub-categories of specialty wines.
It can be regarded as making full use of the value of the fruit tree, from flowers to fruits, as well as sap and leaves.
Comparing the two big cities, one is finishing and the other is roughing.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of a domed building: the Baihuayuan Hot Spring Club, which was across the street from the palace.
Emilia and the two daughters had an appointment to meet here, and Bacchus simply left alone, and the three agreed to meet at this gate at 3 p.m.
Not far from the hot springs, there is also a special hall: Taiyier Health Hall.
If Bacchus hadn't swept it away with his telekinesis, he would have thought it was an iron gym.
Walking into the hall, a row of maids dressed as beauties greet guests, the left side of the first floor is hairdressing, and the right side is beauty, only above the second floor is a good place.
There are simple massages, and there are others, you can choose your own, and the height is from 1.4 to 3 meters, whatever you like.
There are many health programs, of course, Bacchus will not miss it, on the way to travel, it is necessary to experience this kind of program, but also to experience the customs.
Experience the local specialties first, and then look at the time.
Bacchus took a cigarette and was led by the waiter to his room, and soon eight people came.
"Rogue Town is really incomparable to this kind of kingdom!"
……
At 2:55 p.m., Bacchus came to the door of the hot spring hall refreshed, and after a while, two women, a black and a white, walked out, looking at their expressions, they should have gotten the information they wanted.
The trio wandered the streets, came to a café, and took their seats in the middle of nowhere.
"The king you are concerned about, Frut XV, I have learned about it, he is very healthy, his strength is very good, and in my opinion he is stronger than the first guard of the palace."
This is the result of Bacchus taking the time to cover the center of the royal capital, as for the rest, he doesn't know, after all, he is not a professional in intelligence.
"Thank you Bacchus, this information is enough, then we can enjoy the banquet in the evening!"
The three of them ordered coffee and pastries and began to chat, this time they changed Bacchus to ask questions, after all, the information of the great route Bacchus is half-understood, Wang Luffy's route is fine, and the rest is dark.
"What? Is the city of queens a joy in spring? ”
"The voice tapped." Emilia said in shame.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm just too surprised, originally my travel route was Sanfarud, the city of Carnival, Puki, the city of the Queen of Spring, St. Poplar, and finally to the capital of the seven waters."
"Oh, I know, little brother, you must have confused the Spring Queen City with the Happy Street of the New World." Manly smiled and gloated.
Emilia rolled her eyes.
Bacchus's eyes wandered, he seemed to be really mistaken, he didn't expect that the city of spring queens was a tourist island with four seasons like spring, not the queen of spring he thought.
Fortunately, everyone is a mature person, and the little embarrassment will pass after a while, and Bacchus has also got a lot of useful information, so it is in vain to come to be a bodyguard and spy today.
A lot of information is not accessible to ordinary people, such as Bacchus, a traveler who has no bounty, if he really can't find a suitable merchant ship, as long as he gives a little more money, he can find a smaller naval station, and the warship can also take on private work.
Another example is the Kingdom of Faras, where you can spend money to buy a noble status, which is still very useful in some places.
Of course, it's important to know the location of the Boeing Islands, which are a must-see on the Bacchus bucket list.
At 5 o'clock, the two girls took Bacchus by the arm and came to a palace on the edge of the palace, and the banquet held by the eldest prince officially began.
Among the guests, there were two people who made Bacchus more jealous, one was the recognizable Dandan, with long compass legs and a teacup on his head.
Another burly man more than two meters tall, with short brown-red hair, wearing a white suit, with thick eyebrows, and two beards on his upper lip that are similar to his eyebrows.
The middle-aged man was accompanied by a beautiful blonde woman, and he knew many guests at the banquet.
"This is Vice Admiral Jonathan." Manli reminded softly.
It turned out to be him, the chief officer of the G8 branch, no wonder he could give him a certain danger.
Now Bacchus also has a clearer understanding of his strength, whether it is the Dan Dan Baron, or the lieutenant general of the headquarters, at most he is a threat to him, but it is not fatal.
Besides, if he uses his mental power against the spirit and the water battle, Bacchus is sure to win.
"So I'm stronger than the major general of the headquarters now, and the words of the elite lieutenant general depend on the situation? Very good, hey. ”
The three of them shuttled through the crowd, ate delicious food, and waited for the palace collection to come out and see it.
Well? Bacchus turned his head, and it was the gaze cast by the Ballboy Baron, and Bacchus nodded.
The Dandanbaron nodded in the same way.
Speaking of which, Baron Eggball is one of the most reasonable pirates in Bacchus's previous animated impressions, and he does act with a chivalrous demeanor.
It's no wonder that Jonathan just stared at him for a moment and didn't go up to make a move.
"The eldest prince seems to be closer to the Big Mom Pirates."
"So it's up to you to be safe today." Amelia.
Bacchus chuckled, "Of course, as long as they don't mess with me, I'm not a pirate, if you provoke me, I'll cut him from the royal family to the nobility." ”
An hour of communication passed, and the eldest prince Epper stepped onto the makeshift stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's banquet, I think many of you can't wait for the collection to come unveiled, right? Well, I'm an old man who won't take up time, and I'm invited to appear this year's Fruit Queen! ”
The Queen of Fruits, held every 2 years, is a beauty contest in the Kingdom of Frut.
I saw a green-haired shawl, not very old, and a very domineering woman come to the stage.
"It's an honor to preside over this special auction on behalf of the Eldest Prince, so please bring out the first piece of the collection: the Good Knife - Shocking Waves."
Two waiters came out carrying a knife holder, too knife style, very long, at least 2 meters.
Emilia patted Bacchus and looked up for him to bid.
Bacchus shook his head, he was not a pure swordsman, he had no interest in famous knives or anything, unless he picked it up on his feet or snatched it from the hands of the enemy, and spent money? No way.
Famous knives, famous paintings, gemstones, and other guests responded enthusiastically.
"Next, there is a treasure map that has been circulated more than 100 years ago, and the royal family guarantees that the treasure map is true."
This time Bacchus was a little interested, and his telekinesis quietly probed the past, and wrote down the contents of the treasure map, and white prostitution made people happy!
"Why is the little brother interested?"
"I'm a little interested, but the auction is still over, let's leave early."
Bacchus had already seen the collection behind it, and he was not interested in it, what kind of century-old cellar wine or something, he rarely drank alcohol.
Taking advantage of the end of the treasure map being taken by an earl, the three Bacchus left the banquet hall.
He did not spend the night in the royal capital, but the carriage returned directly to the city of Banana, and of course, there was no halfway attack.
As soon as I arrived at the Peony Hotel, I was stopped by Carina, who asked for a gift, but fortunately I was prepared.
Bacchus, who was lying on the bed, was so dark that it was a pity, and if he stayed overnight, he could go to the Tagore Health Center to criticize it.
"Yo, what are you sorry for? This expression. "Emilia is here again.
"You're wrong, I'm anxious waiting for you!"
……
"We're leaving here in the daytime, and you're going to give us a flight?"
"No problem, go straight to Nine Snake Island?"
Emilia shook her head and got up to get dressed, "The Nine Snake Pirates have been sailing outside recently, and we're going to meet up on a supply island. ”
