In the early morning, Reggie took a carriage to the beach. Calaf brought him good news last night, and the dock was completed.
Since the end of the last battle, Reggie has issued an order to rebuild the pier. With advanced materials like cement, the repair work has gone extremely smoothly.
It takes three hours to ride a carriage from Broken Snow City to the dock. I have to admit that Reggie's territory is very large.
In order to pass the three-hour journey, Reggie chose to read. He specially borrowed some books about mountain monsters from Batchelor, especially those about poisonous mountain monsters.
In this era, parchment was a rare thing. In order to save paper, people wrote the contents of books as concisely as possible. In three hours, Reggie finished reading all four borrowed books.
According to the records in the book, aliens are only one in a thousand creatures, mountain monsters are only one in a thousand aliens, and poisonous spirits are only one in a thousand mountain monsters.
Books of this era are inevitably exaggerated, but they also prove that the Poisonous Mountain Demon is a very rare existence.
There are a large number of toxins hidden in the body of the poisonous mountain monster. Under normal circumstances, these toxins will not appear. Only when the mountain monster is stimulated by the outside world, is highly excited, and is highly concentrated, will these toxins be converted into body fluids.
, flows out of the body.
Sweat, saliva, blood, urine, all the liquids on the body of the mountain monster are highly poisonous, especially tears. Two drops of the poisonous mountain monster's tears can poison an adult.
This made Reggie very uneasy, and he felt more and more that he should not give Dorothy to Camilla.
Dorothy is an orphan. She was originally a maid of Sarn. Because Reggie's father liked her gentle character, he brought her to the castle.
After staying in the castle for three full years, the taciturn Dorothy had only one friend, and that was Shirley.
The two of them lived in the same room, Dorothy was only willing to confide in Shirley, and only Shirley knew Dorothy's secret.
It was an afternoon half a year ago. Dorothy hid in her room and cried until dusk.
She was bullied by Reggie's father. There is no need to describe the process of bullying. Reggie had a deep memory of his father. This old guy waited so long before taking action, which greatly exceeded Reggie's expectations.
That night, Dorothy took a bath, and her bath water poisoned a large number of cockroaches and rats.
The next day, she delivered milk to Reggie's father, and the old lord died that day.
No one has investigated the cause of old Victor's death because everyone is busy. Sarn is busy stealing the power of the lord, and Batchelor is thinking about how to continue to survive in the cracks of power.
What's even more frightening is that everyone who came into contact with old Victor's body died one after another.
Old Victor had done many ridiculous things during his lifetime. Everyone believed that this was a curse placed on him by the gods. Only Shirley knew that it was Dorothy who poisoned the old lord in a special way.
From then on, Dorothy's temperament changed drastically. She often said some strange words, contacted some strange people, and participated in some strange gatherings.
From that time on, Shirley had always been wary of Dorothy.
The day before the incident, Dorothy stayed out all night. The next morning, Shirley caught a cold, and Dorothy brought her a can of milk.
Shirley only took a sip before she noticed that the milk tasted wrong. She broke the milk jug, but was unable to stop the crazy Dorothy.
Dorothy attacked Erwin first. Erwin was unprepared and drank a large can of milk and fell to the ground instantly.
Thanks to Reggie's snooze, and thanks to Dorothy not daring to kill with a knife, Shirley had the opportunity to report the news to Reggie, and Reggie escaped the disaster.
After figuring out the whole story, Reggie began to analyze the nature of the toxin. It should be some kind of living toxin, a bacterium or a virus, and it was highly contagious.
The process of thinking made time fly by quickly, and the carriage quickly arrived at the dock.
Reggie was so satisfied with the quality of the project that he called Old Hill to discuss the maritime trade plan with him.
"Sir, you have precious urine wax, which can definitely be sold at a good price overseas," Old Hill said with a regretful look on his face, "It's a pity that we don't have a ship."
"We can build ships. This shouldn't be difficult for Karaf. All you have to do is spread the news and let overseas caravans come to our dock as soon as possible."
Old Hill smiled and said, "It seems I'm going to visit Blue Bay."
The two of them were standing on the beach, looking forward to a bright future, when they saw Tyer running over in a hurry and saying: "Sir, the princess of Bayer is here."
Reggie's legs went weak and he almost fell into the sea.
"She's here? Here she is again? How many troops does she bring with her? How far is it from here?"
Tell said: "She didn't bring many soldiers, but she did bring a lot of carriages. There should be hundreds of them. They seem to have a lot of food on them."
"Carriage? Food?" Reggie was silent for a while, slowly puffed up his chest, and covered his face with one hand, "Muhahaha, this crazy bitch, she finally realized it! She finally brought the ransom.
Already! Tell the First Army to line up to greet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Just as Tyre was about to leave, Reggie gave another instruction: "Tell all the soldiers to bring grenades, I'm afraid she will play tricks."
Sophia waited politely at the mountain pass. She came to redeem people, not to fight. In order to escort the one million pounds of grain, she mobilized 300 horse-drawn carriages and 300 ox-carts along the way.
The work was very hard, and the afternoon sunshine made her a little tired. Just as she was falling asleep, she suddenly saw a carriage rushing up the mountain road and speeding towards the city gate.
There seemed to be a familiar figure on the carriage, and Sophia shouted loudly: "Reggie Victor! Is that you? Where do you want to go? How long do you want me to wait?"
It was indeed Reggie on the carriage, but he didn't want to meet Sophia yet. First of all, the occasion was wrong. Sophia's identity today was not an assassin. Meeting a princess of a country was a diplomatic activity, and a place like Shandaokou was obviously not suitable.
Moreover, there are not enough manpower around Reggie. If Sophia gets violent, it will be difficult for Reggie to get away.
Back in the city, after simple preparations, Reggie, dressed in a battle robe and surrounded by the First Army, came to Sophia.
"Your Highness, I have kept you waiting for a long time. Your arrival has made every corner of Broken Snow City shine with glory."
Sophia sneered and said, "Is this my first time here? Don't you feel hypocritical for saying this?"
"Not hypocritical at all!" Reggie said without changing his expression, "I see full sincerity in His Highness, and at the same time I see the everlasting friendship between the two countries."
"Two countries? Do you call yourself a country?"
Reggie said with a smile: "Although there have been some misunderstandings between us, the tree of friendship between Lane Country and Bayer Country will last forever."
"Your hypocrisy is really disgusting," Sophia sneered, "And what does the Kingdom of Ryan have to do with you? You are already a countryless lord."
"Uh... excuse me for being rude," Reggie turned to Batchelor and said, "What is Lords Without a Country?"
Bachelo was stunned and speechless for a long time.
Sophia said: "Have you not received the news yet? You have been expelled from the Kingdom of Ryan."
