Lord of Industrialization

At dawn, Frederick woke up in the guest room of the castle. After being dressed and washed by the maid, he went to the restaurant with the butler for breakfast.

Baron Abex and Lowena arrived first. There was also a bearded knight in the restaurant who was chewing venison sausages. He was wearing a half-breastplate and a coat. Judging from the emblem, he was a vassal of another lord.

After Frederick came in and sat down, Abex said to him: "Principal, this is the knight of Count Owa."

The bearded knight had put down the sausage and stood up to salute Frederick.

Abex continued: "Count Owa's territory is two days away from here. The count has suffered from a strange disease in recent years. I would like to ask you to perform a miracle to treat him."

Frederick remained calm on the surface, but he was panicking in his heart and played out.

The Osmaga Empire deployed a 3,000-man legion in the White Mountains. The mission was to rely on this trade route to control the territory in the mountainous area. This legion was led by Count Owa.

Count Orva has been loyal for generations. His mother is the cousin of the late Emperor Ferdinand. When he was young, he was one of the vice-chairmen of the Royal Knights.

Politically, he belongs to the category of "always supporting His Majesty the Emperor, and supporting whoever is the emperor". While being loyal to the Empire, he is also a local emperor in the White Mountains.

This time, Frederick planned to visit Count Orva semi-formally, but he didn't expect that the news a few days ago spread too quickly, and he took the initiative to find him.

He knows his own affairs. Frederick has a ghost miracle. The previous three times were coincidences.

Everyone saw that he was silent and thought there was something hidden.

Abex said: "Principal, Count Orva is a devout believer. He is kind and generous on weekdays. He often helps lords and caravans harassed by monsters for free."

He thought that Frederick's miracles depended on the object. If it was a vicious person, it would be too late to make a final blow. Only people like Skinner who had a good reputation on weekdays were qualified, so he began to talk about the good deeds Count Orva had done before.

Lovina thought so too. After Avex finished speaking, he said to the bearded knight: "Talk to the principal about why Earl Ova is in poor health. It is possible that he made a mistake and was punished by God."

What he said made sense. Anyway, there is no shortage of such stories in the stories made up by the Church of Light.

The bearded knight immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, no, you didn't get sick because you made a mistake."

"Three years ago, you helped a caravan drive away monsters and accidentally hit your head on a branch."

"This kind of thing was not worth mentioning to you before, but it's different this time."

"From that day on, you suddenly felt dizzy, your eyes would tremble, you felt like you were floating, and you felt nauseous. Recently, you started vomiting."

"Your illness lasts for a short time, less than half a minute, but you don't know when it will come. Sometimes you stand up from a chair or lie down too quickly. Recently, you even get sick when you turn your head too quickly."

"The archbishop said that this was the devil trying to hook your soul away. Fortunately, you are pious on weekdays, so the devil didn't succeed."

"But the devil and you have been fighting, and have been relentless for the past few years. You have been very uncomfortable."

After he finished speaking, the restaurant suddenly became quiet. Everyone - including the butler and the maids... - were looking at Frederick, waiting for his response.

Frederick's face remained calm, but he was not so panicked.

If he guessed correctly, Count Orva had the same problem as himself after hitting his head on a telephone pole in his previous life. In the end, two colleagues helped him, one searched the Internet, and the other followed the video, and finally it was cured.

"I'll go and see." Frederick didn't dare to say it, "Whether it works or not still depends on the will of the God of Light."

This is the good thing about being a charlatan. If it works, you will be credited as an intermediary. If it doesn't work, it's God's business, and it has nothing to do with the intermediary.

The bearded knight thanked Frederick immediately and seemed to want to take him away right now.

But Frederick was not in a hurry. He had breakfast first, and then continued to follow Fontana's caravan.

Although Baron Abex had no feudal relationship with Count Orva, the nobles also talked about human relationships, so he went with them.

Before leaving, Frederick put spike collars on the hounds beside the caravan with great interest.

The beasts in the forest bite the neck of their prey to kill them. Now the iron spikes on the necks of these hounds are as long as fingers, so the monsters have no way to bite them.

At this time, the bald merchant who was "punished by God" came over and asked cautiously: "Sir, can you give me the handkerchief from yesterday?"

Frederick was puzzled at first, but soon remembered that the bald man was talking about the handkerchief that was used to wrap his hands and pull out the blood clot yesterday.

The handkerchief was a daily consumable of the Wesson family. There was a yellow double-headed eagle emblem without a red background embroidered in the corner. It was a cheap item for him, and there was another stack in his backpack.

He remembered that he thought the handkerchief was dirty and it was uncivilized to throw it on the ground, so he gave it to Sister Renee to deal with it.

Obviously, Sister Renee did not throw the handkerchief away, but kept it.

Frederick said indifferently: "If you want it, I'll give it to you."

The bald merchant thanked him profusely, and then immediately went to find Sister Renee.

The convoy set off soon, and Frederick chatted with a young businessman.

This merchant from the Kingdom of Sardinia mainly sells some low-end jewelry. He imports small jewelry made of crystal glass from the Principality of Wesson and sells them in big cities. He also purchases ordinary silk embroidered scarves from the Kingdom of Sardinia and sells them to the Principality of Wesson. The customers on both sides are young people with well-off wallets.

The cities in the north of the Kingdom of Sardinia are very wealthy, especially Venice, where ordinary citizens can afford one or two small pieces of jewelry.

The skilled workers in the Duchy of Wessen also have plenty of money. Some of the scarves are bought by men as gifts for their partners, and some are bought by girls themselves, so there is no worry about sales.

There was no danger along the way, and we arrived at an ordinary town in the afternoon.

Abex has been neighbors with the lord here for generations, and the relationship is good. He took Frederick and Lowena to eat a roasted whole lamb.

The bearded knight did not stop, but borrowed an energetic horse from the lord and went back overnight to report to Count Ova that Frederick had arrived.

The next day, the road suddenly became narrow, less than 100 meters wide, with steep cliffs on both sides, some more than 100 meters short and some four or five hundred meters high. From time to time, goats can be seen licking salt on the cliffs.

There is a rock salt mine nearby, and a caravan coming from the opposite side is carrying refined salt. Judging from the flag, it is the Chamber of Commerce of the Grand Duke of Bain.

The caravan walked out of the canyon for a long time, and the view in front of them suddenly opened up.

This is a huge basin. Tractors are harvesting ripe wheat, cattle and sheep are eating leisurely on the pasture. There is a fort on each side of the mountain pass. In the distance, there is a huge castle built halfway up the mountain. A team of knights are rushing towards the mountain pass with colorful flags.
