"Okay, give you half."

"It's hush money."

Ludwig thought about it for about a minute, and gave half of the first huge sum of money that he might have received in his life to the strange golden cat lady in front of him.

There are two main reasons for this.

First, it was indeed this golden cat lady who arrived first, but even his sense of time talent did not discover this stealthy and sneaking cat.

Second, even if there is only half of the black truffle shiitake mushroom, if the golden cat lady is right, it will be enough to pay for his tuition for a year in Vienna.

Ludwig was not a man of luxury, and he did not need any messy secret medicine to practice swordsmanship, and the main expenses were the tuition fees for admission to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, as well as various paints for painting.

"Oh, if I leak it......

Princess Anastasia, the rightful heir to the world's two largest Roman empires, wants to test Ludwig, who may be her half-brother.

Like the Holy Roman Empire and her aunt, Her Majesty Empress Margaret, Anastasia felt that this guy was probably one of the products of her father's irresponsibility.

"For the sake of great Rome", that being said, the number of illegitimate children of the energetic Roman I is unique in the entire history of Roman royalty.

The main thing is that he is not a picky eater, as long as he is young and beautiful, he looks up to his standards, and he will not hesitate to act no matter what the other party is.

Among the lovers of Roman I, there were many who had long been married, and even duchesses of other archdukes.

For the request of the Eastern Roman Emperor, even the high-ranking Grand Dukes and wives could not refuse, and even many people got the permission of their husbands and volunteered to die.

The blood and blood of the gods has such a weight.

The greater the aristocracy, the more eager it is for transcendent factors.

Anastasia has known since she was a child that she has many older brothers, the oldest of whom are over 100 years old!

In addition, there are several younger brothers recently, and as long as Roman I is alive, I am afraid that this will happen in the future.

Under the sun, nothing new.

It is better to say that the orthodox Roman Purple Hall princess who established the Lily Palace, and now Her Majesty Empress Margaret is an outlier.

Anastasia knew that her aunt was still a virgin.

"You won't say it."

Ludwig said very seriously, glancing at the neck of the golden cat lady out of the corner of his eye.

Although she was fast, after that particular stealth ability was gone, Ludwig felt that it was impossible for her to escape from him.

It's a certain innate self-confidence, even if it's the age of steam and guns, but as long as it comes into the realm of Ludwig's sense of time, it's his world.

Accustomed to the distorted flow of time since childhood, no one has ever actually seen Ludwig go all out.

With Bonaparte's fencing, Ludwig even needed to be careful, otherwise Bonaparte would fall apart with a sword.

At the end, the sword wind shook Bonaparte, who was almost sinking to the bottom, out of the pond, which was a little more serious.

This is the strength of the Juggernaut. ….

Because the last Juggernaut has been hundreds of years since this era, people have long forgotten the horror of this kind of force.

"Meow!"

Anastasia's tail cocked behind her back, and her whole body couldn't help but tense.

Dangerous, too dangerous!

This elder brother is as dangerous as his father, how the hell does he cultivate!

Doesn't it mean that the Roman Divine Blood Bloodline is the only transcendent bloodline in the world?

In this world, the only humans who can pose a mortal threat to her should be her aunt Margaret and her father Roman.

But now, one more must be added to the list!

Ludwig, the brother he had never met, if he were serious,

It's a monster!

Auntie, is there something wrong with your assessment?

My instinct tells me that this brother is not just as simple as a sword master.

There was something even more terrifying hidden in his body.

It's not exactly divine blood, but it can pose a fatal threat to the divine blood bloodline, which is unprecedented!

Times have changed?

"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill innocents."

"I came here to hunt mushroom pigs, just to make up for my tuition."

Seeing that the golden cat lady was frightened by herself, Ludwig was a little embarrassed.

Why did she look at him as if she had met a cold-blooded and ruthless murderer, the kind of killer who would kill if she didn't agree with him.

Having grown up in an ordinary Bavarian town and loved by his father John and mother Betty, Ludwig was not the kind of person who would do anything for the sake of the end.

Take the exams at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, give yourself three years to try, and if you can't do it, take the advice of the Viennese art teacher seriously, and try the School of Architecture.

Swordsmanship is a skill that Ludwig has naturally mastered since childhood, just like being born to breathe.

In the age of steam chariots and airships, there was a limit to how strong individual force was.

The time of science has come, and there will be no more world wars.

The history of human science is a great and romantic epic, a hymn to courage.

An era of peace is the best era.

We are in the best era of human history, a wonderful new generation.

Thank you, Her Majesty Empress Margrethe I, thank you to the Holy Roman Empire.

God bless Rome!

This is a truth that Ludwig knew when he was studying at a school in a small Bavarian town, and it is what the vast majority of people in Sunshine think.

"Tuition?"

"People like you still have to pay for tuition?"

This time, it was on Princess Anastasia's side that she was dumbfounded.

An illegitimate son of an emperor with duke-level strength, sword saint-level swordsmanship—no, there may be more than that, which academy would dare to refuse?

Believe it or not, if your identity is exposed to the Eastern Roman Empire, you will have to go home immediately and be appointed by your father as the captain of the palace guard, and show the whole world whether your sword master-level swordsmanship is good or not.

Glory, flowers, invitations from countless noble ladies, and countless riches are all at your fingertips.

You now say that you came to this royal game reserve in the Vienna Woods to make up for your tuition? ….

And, still so serious?

"Yes, I went to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts and failed, and the teacher said that I didn't have enough artistic sense of painting."

"I feel the same way myself, but the more something is missing, the more I sometimes want to fill it."

"So I decided to hunt the mushroom pigs here to earn some money to subsidize my living expenses, and then continue to study at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts."

"You may not know it, but candidates spend a lot of money, especially when applying for the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts."

I don't know why, seeing this golden cat lady, Ludwig has a wonderful sense of intimacy.

Perhaps, it's because of the "zero" traces of time and space on her body.

For the first time in his life, Ludwig had seen a "zero hour" so flawless, absolutely unentangled by the time-warping factors around it.

Now, although the flow of time is no longer as chaotic as when I was a child, the world is still full of all kinds of fragments of time.

Perhaps, this is the way the world is.

Time does not flow forward in the same way as in the textbooks, but sometimes it distorts, accelerates, and stagnates.

Until now, Ludwig has been able to observe fragments of time traces from eighteen years ago.

Only the golden cat lady in front of her, from her ears to her tail, from her fingertips to her toes, did not even have the slightest fragment of time chaos.

It was a pure beauty, as if the time-warping effect of the entire world had failed in her.

Because of this, even Ludwig, who has a transcendent sense of time, was unable to spot her before her stealth failed.

I picked up some of the blonde hair that had fallen from her clothes.

"The Vienna Academy of Fine Arts actually made you fall off the list?"

Anastasia opened her eyes wide, if her father Roman I knew, it would be a serious diplomatic incident!

However, considering that she didn't know until yesterday that there was an illegitimate brother in Vienna, it is likely that the admissions teacher of the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts did not know Ludwig's background at all.

Otherwise, how could a swordsmanship genius who now had the strength to serve as the captain of the court guard of the Eastern Roman Empire fall to Sun Shan.

Even, like her aunt, Her Majesty Queen Margaret, after knowing that Ludwig had failed at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Anastasia had an intuition to touch a certain world line switch.

This thing can't be happening!

It's a pity that the wood is already in the boat, and time can't be turned back.

"If you take the exam next year, are you here to poach too?"

In Ludwig's eyes, the blonde cat lady was also his accomplice.

The inner perimeter of the Vienna Forest was a game reserve for the Austrian royal family of the Holy Roman Empire.

"Of course I ...... Yes."

"I heard that the mushroom pig is valuable, and I just happened to get my hands on rare stealth equipment, so I came in curiously to try it."

This is a lie.

The set of equipment on Anastasia alone is worth more than the whole mushroom pig, which is a secret stealth equipment in the development stage of the Eastern Roman Empire.

It is a perfect combination of modern technology and alchemy, using the skin of a Greenland sleeping shark over 300 years old, which is rarer than a mushroom pig, and a transcendent stealth gear made from her shedding hair. ….

The only transcendent bloodline in this world is Roman orthodoxy, so everything related to the blood and bloodline of the Roman gods is a treasure pursued by countless people.

Anastasia's hair is an extraordinary medium that alchemists are eager to see.

Its price is ten times that gold cannot be bought.

Because this is the only transcendent material under the scientific system at the moment.

The effect of "optical stealth" alone, after being studied in the laboratory, I don't know how many scientists in the Eastern Roman Empire fell to the ground.

"It's not scientific!"

"I can't explain how the stealth effect was achieved!"

"This, is this the Roman divine blood, the only transcendent bloodline in the world?"

"We need more Princess Anastasia's hair, or should she shave her head first?"

Well, the experimental team that finally made that suggestion was punished by Anastasia with "I can only have a bald head for the rest of my life".

It can be said that this set of optical stealth golden cat lady suit is really more valuable than equal gold, and there are only three sets in the whole world so far.

Considering the production of Anastasia's hair, there is absolutely no possibility of mass production in the future.

Ludwig naturally couldn't imagine what a luxury this cat suit was, and thought it was a new invention of a scientist working alone.

"I'm Anna, a smuggler on the black market."

This is not a lie, the heir to the great Eastern Roman Empire, Princess Anastasia, the heir of the Holy Roman Empire, is indeed engaged in smuggling.

It's better to say, which country, which force doesn't do it.

Circumvent restrictions and trade their rare goods, which do not exist on any ledger or official records on the bright side, and are part of the dark side of the world.

This kind of transaction, which is essentially part of the world order, will not disappear in the past, will not disappear now, and will definitely not disappear even if mankind enters the age of the starry sky.

Anastasia, simply Anna, has a hobby of making money and increasing wealth, and there is no problem at all.

"I'm Ludwig, art

Raw."

"Do you have a way to sell black truffle shiitake mushrooms?"

For Ludwig, hunting mushroom pigs was never a problem.

As long as you find the mushroom pig, and then draw the sword, you will be there.

Instead, it was the method of selling black truffle shiitake mushrooms, which gave him a bit of a headache.

He didn't even know where the Vienna underground black market was.

This is not an ordinary game, but a black truffle shiitake mushroom that is worth enough to meet his living expenses for a year.

Hunter, he is professional.

Selling stuff is not his specialty.

Originally, he was going to ask Bonaparte next door for this matter.

Now, though, Ludwig thinks that Anna, a black marketeer, should be better at this kind of thing.

Smuggling, not chilling, snakes have snake paths, and she is professional if she deals with this.

"Of course!"

"This is the best black truffle that is rare in a century, and I came here for this legendary ingredient...... poachers."

"Come, if you don't eat it, give it to me, and I'm guaranteed to sell it at a good price."

When it comes to making money, Anastasia isn't sleepy.

The reason why she secretly escaped from the Vienna Imperial Palace was for this long-planned hunting plan.

This mutated mushroom pig has long been targeted by her, and she specially brought a stealth cat suit from home.

She wanted to know what kind of methods and negotiations she could use to sell this rare black truffle mushroom.

One of them was prepared for his aunt Margaret, and the rest will be put on the market.

This kind of ingredient, which cannot be preserved for too long and is extremely expensive, is an excellent reference for her business theory.

Ludwig sells black truffle shiitake mushrooms to make up for his tuition and living expenses.

Princess Anastasia of the Eastern Roman Empire sells black truffle shiitake mushrooms in order to expand her underground business empire.

Gifts from others are priceless, and they are someone else's.

The money you make with your own hands is the best!.
