Lord of Industrialization

The team stayed in the town for three more days. Something happened at home of the animal trainer that Fontana had been employing, so the rendezvous time was a little late.

The next journey would go deep into the mountains, which was more dangerous than the first day. The mountains were high and the forests were dense, and there were monsters appearing from time to time, so it was necessary to strengthen the security work.

Frederick had been staying in the room for the past few days. The so-called miracles were spreading in the town, and the content was constantly iterating.

There were many merchants who came here to purchase carvings, and they spread the news all the way.

Frederick was powerless to do anything about it. He wanted to explain, but people immediately said "yes, yes, yes", with a look of "we know you want to keep a low profile".

Especially the nun - now Frederick knew her name was Renee - her eyes lit up when she saw Frederick, and she took the initiative to take care of his daily life.

Frederick looked at her like that and thought that if he ordered her to stab Rudolph to death in the street, she would not frown.

The convoy set off again. More than ten black hounds formed a cordon around them. The barking of dogs gave the merchants a sense of security.

Frederick recognized the trainer named Lovina. He had studied at the School of Trainers at Weissenberg University for several years and later returned home to become an official.

Lovina was the third son of Grand Duke Regens. The Regens Alliance had a trainer unit under his command.

However, the ending of the trade route war was too dramatic. Those monsters were more powerful than humans. They were captured without playing any role.

At that time, Lovina was imprisoned in a prisoner-of-war camp. Some classmates recognized him. With the help of a group of students and professors, he finally did not go to build the railway.

All morning, Lovina did not dare to look at Frederick, for fear of being recognized.

Others in the convoy were also respectful to Frederick and did not dare to speak loudly.

Frederick felt a little bored and called Lovina over during the lunch break.

He sat in the bus seat, while Lowena stood there with his head down, as if he was being judged.

"I heard that something happened to your family?" Frederick asked about family matters.

Lowena was in his thirties, his wife was the second daughter of the former Earl of the Regens Union, and his two lovers were daughters of a minor noble. They all ran to the mountains after the war.

He hesitated for a moment and replied, "I want my son to go to Weissenberg University to study animal artificial breeding, but his mother is very worried because of her status."

Hounds are a huge market. Not only do dignitaries need them for hunting, but ordinary people also use them to guard their homes, and there are many who use them as pets.

Excellent hounds, like good horses, pay attention to their pedigree. Breeding dogs are not as energetic as Frederick. If they can be bred in large quantities through artificial breeding, the benefits will be considerable.

But Lowena is the biological son of Grand Duke Regens. Although he does not have the right to inherit the Grand Duke's throne, under normal circumstances he can only mix his qualifications in the army and become a minor noble in the end. But now that the country has been destroyed, he will become the object of use by some ambitious people.

So his wife was a little worried that her son would be suspected if he went to Weissenburg, and he might die one day.

Frederick was not surprised by this, as there were many such cases in history.

After the defeat of the Duchy of Franconia and the League of Legens the year before last, the nobles of the two countries basically followed the tradition and did not get rid of them.

But Frederick did not accept their loyalty, confiscated all the real estate, and allowed them to rent some land for farming or invest in industry and commerce.

Although these people still have no worries about food and clothing, they have lost their previous political power, and some people are quite dissatisfied.

But what if they are dissatisfied? Private armies are prohibited in the Duchy of Weissen, and these people have no external support, so they can only complain after drinking.

In response to Lowena's worries, Frederick said to him: "Don't worry, your eldest brother and second sister are living well now."

"Your eldest brother is working in a food magazine now. I heard that he is researching food ratings and plans to collect recipes from all over the world and eat and drink for free everywhere."

"Your eldest nephew went to work as a train driver under an assumed name a few years ago. Now his identity is not disclosed and he continues to drive the train."

"Your second niece ran away to Wayne City with a large dowry. Her fiancé's family did not despise your family's failure and held a wedding according to the standards of the Grand Duke's daughter."

"Your second sister is amazing. She co-founded a chamber of commerce with others and found many former knights to join. She went to Bohemia to do business. No one dared to default there."

"Your two nieces changed their names and now ran to the Air Force."

The second child seems to be the most troublesome in this family, but she has surrendered her father's small treasury and sent her two daughters as hostages. Now there are many people from the steamed bun bureau and relevant departments in that chamber of commerce.

Lovina is the third son in the family. He has no share in the family business, so he has been drinking and having fun since he was a child and has no courage.

His wife is the same. She was raised in the boudoir and cultivated as a tool for family marriage. Don't expect her to have any courage.

The father and brother of his two lovers died in the war. His nephew was less than ten years old. The family lost its pillar, so he could only take his sister-in-law to Lovina.

None of Lovina's family members were brave. Because of the tense atmosphere after the war, they did not dare to stay in their hometown. They took money and ran to the mountains to rely on his wife's grandmother's family.

They finally bought a village in the mountains, but it was not rich here, and there were many people in the family. Lovina could only work to supplement the family income.

The news in the mountains was not very well-informed. Lovina knew nothing about the situation of his eldest brother and second sister, and only heard about their situation now.

"Huh..." Lovina breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "It's good that her husband doesn't dislike her."

After he finished speaking, he didn't say anything else, but thanked Frederick for bringing the news.

Frederick blinked, why do you only care about your niece?

He recalled the information about this family, and it seemed that a mixed smell of children and cars filled the air.

Frederick was too lazy to care about other people's business and returned to the previous topic: "Don't worry about letting your son go to Weissenberg University. Artificial breeding of livestock is now a popular major. If you master this skill, you will have no worries about making money in decades."

"In recent years, the police department and the military have been looking for excellent hunting dogs. You can go to them and ask what requirements they have. It's up to you how much meat you can get."

"Go see your eldest brother and second sister when you have time. Your family left without a word. They were very puzzled. They wrote to me and asked if you had offended me before, otherwise why did they kill you instead of killing them, and whether your body could be sent back to the family cemetery."

"If you don't have time to go, ask someone to send a letter to your eldest brother when you get to the next town. Just send it directly to the magazine."

Lovina said: "I'll go see them after I finish this trip."

When they were at home, the eldest and second sons fought fiercely for the right of inheritance. He, the third son, stayed out of it and had a good relationship with both of them.

Now that the family is broken up, the previous struggles are meaningless. It's time to live a down-to-earth life.

The two chatted for a while, and the caravan was on the road again.

There are many villages and towns on this trade route, and there is a town every thirty or forty kilometers. You don't have to sleep in the wild.

These villages and towns developed based on the trade route. First, merchants settled down, then the surrounding mountain people came to trade, and finally became commercial centers.

Frederick thought to himself that he would not go out when he arrived at the next town, so as not to encounter any trouble.

The road was safe and sound. The alert hounds drove away several bears and wild beasts, and the caravan entered the town unscathed.

As soon as Frederick got off the car, he saw someone holding a cold butcher knife rushing towards him.
