"He couldn't have escaped in the face of battle." The green-clothed thief stared into the distance and said to the yellow-clothed thief, "Maybe we can escape too."
"Hey, what are you talking about? We took that adult's money!" The thief in yellow took the thief in green's hand, "Let's try to see if we can use the power of the moonlight to see the scene inside the castle."
"You're stupid, we don't know magic!"
"so what should I do now?"
At this time, the thief in blue ran back with a ladder in his hand and shouted: "I'm here!"
The thief in green put his hands on his waist: "Okay, now we can go up and demolish the house."
"But even if we demolish the house, we can only see part of the third floor. What if there is no one there?" The thief in yellow asked.
"I don't think it's a matter of whether there are people on the third floor." The thief in blue said, "This kind of castle is quite tightly built. We will not demolish such a house at all."
Just then, some men with clubs came out in the dark and beat the three thieves.
"They were the ones who stole our ladder." Those people walked back carrying the ladder.
The three thieves helped each other stand up and said the same words one after another: "I knew I wouldn't have to use this method."
They looked for other ways to eavesdrop outside the castle.
In the castle, Potter rang the bell and dinner began. Today's dinner was similar to the previous ones, but with an extra serving of pudding.
Werther sat down at the dining table with a cup filled with milk tea. Out of curiosity, he tasted the pudding first and found it delicious. He also had pudding when he was in the palace. Although the chefs in the palace made it more advanced, Potter
The pudding seems to have a more special taste and makes people feel warm.
He curiously continued to dig into the pudding with a spoon. Slowly, he discovered that there were some small particles inside, like green leaves. These fragrant particles would melt away after staying in his mouth for a few seconds.
Bite it with your teeth before opening it, and the sweet juice will burst out and soak between your lips and teeth.
Potter happened to pass by him, and he asked curiously: "Uncle Potter, what's in this?"
"Oh, what is added here is a kind of wild vegetable unique to Dawn Town. This kind of vegetable only appears in winter. I happened to find one behind the castle and wanted to give His Highness a taste. This kind of wild vegetable is suitable for seasoning.
Put it in desserts and mix it with sugar, it will be especially delicious."
"Well, it's really delicious."
"If His Highness still wants to eat it, I will still add this wild vegetable to His Highness's dessert tomorrow. Maybe Your Highness would like to eat waffles tomorrow?"
Werther said happily: "Okay."
Potter bowed slightly and said, "Then I'll clean the kitchen first."
Werther ate half of the pudding, but was reluctant to eat the second half immediately, so he planned to have dinner first before finishing the remaining half of the pudding.
Today’s dinner was also good, including roasted venison and buttered prawns, which Kath probably bought in town today. These ingredients are not common in Daybreak Town, and eating them once in a while makes me feel extremely happy.
After finishing the venison, prawns and vegetables on the plate, and drinking the milk tea in the cup, Werther's eyes fell on the pudding again, licked his lips, and he began to dig in slowly with a spoon.
Hold on and taste carefully.
Slowly, there was finally the last spoonful left. With trembling hands, he put the small and delicate spoon into his mouth. The exciting taste
Spreads on the tongue.
Putting down the spoon, he touched his belly and wiped his mouth. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was great to live in Poxiao Town. There should be a lot of wild vegetables like this in Poxiao Town, and the people could eat them.
Suddenly an idea struck him, and he ran to the kitchen and said to Potter who was washing the dishes: "Uncle Potter, can this kind of wild vegetables be grown?"
Porter put down the plate in his hand and looked at Werther: "Of course it can be grown."
"I think we can grow some wild vegetables like this behind the castle and sell them to distant towns." Werther's eyes were shining.
"Your Highness, this is a good idea. In fact, it can be sold now, because there are many behind the castle, and we can't eat them all in a short time." Potter wiped his hands on his apron, "If Your Highness wants to see it, I can
Take Your Highness down."
"OK."
Werther came to the back of the castle, and sure enough, a patch of green wild vegetables appeared in front of him, and they looked particularly vibrant under the moonlight.
"That's a lot. But I think we can grow more varieties and expand the planting area of wild vegetables several times." Witte said, "Perhaps we can ask the long-term workers to sell some of them in distant towns as one of the castle's sources of income.
"
"Yes, Your Highness, leave this matter to me." Potter said.
"However, in addition to cooking for the chief ministers in the castle, you also have to prepare food for some of the long-term workers. In addition, you have to wash so many tableware. Are you too tired?" Werther asked worriedly.
"Your Highness doesn't have to worry about this at all." Potter said with a smile, "The maids will help in the kitchen every day, and Miss Margaery will occasionally cook food. So I won't be too tired now. And these wild vegetables are very
It is easy to grow, just scatter the seeds on the open ground."
"But this also requires a lot of energy. Why don't I do it myself during the day tomorrow!" Witte said, "Anyway, I'm free recently."
"Okay, Your Highness, I will take the time to teach you."
They never noticed that not far away, three thieves were peeking at Werther. They hid behind the warehouse, trying to hear their conversation clearly.
"They seem to be saying that they will pour ink on the house tomorrow." The thief in green said to his two companions.
The thief in yellow slapped his hat: "You idiot, who would pour ink on the house for nothing?"
The green thief scratched his head and thought for a while, then said, "Maybe it's to paint the roof to look better?"
The thief in blue nodded: "This reason is reasonable."
"Can't you two use your brains?" The thief in yellow was very angry. "Their roof is already close to black. How can there be any obvious change if you apply ink? What I just heard is that they plan to put ink on the roof tomorrow."
Drying hay on the roof."
"Hahaha~" The other two thieves laughed so hard, "The roof of their house is so steep, how can they put down hay?"
At this time, Werther heard voices coming from near the warehouse, and he looked back warily. He could not see anyone, but he saw several looming shadows illuminated by candles next to the warehouse.
Porter asked: "Your Highness, what happened over there?"
Werther gently raised his hand to signal him not to speak. Then he walked quietly to the warehouse. As soon as he reached the warehouse, he saw three thieves standing there covering each other's mouths.
Those horse thieves!
"You!" Werther looked at them in surprise, "You
You are the ones who stole my horse that day. Why are you within the confines of my castle? Are you trying to steal something or is someone instructing you?"
When the three thieves saw Werther, they all gasped. When the thief in green was nervous, he found the bag that Noli had given him from his clothes, reached into the bag, and then sprinkled a handful of chili powder into the air.
A little chili powder got into Werther's eyes, and he squatted on the ground in pain, with tears streaming down his face. He was unable to catch the three thieves. When Porter came, the three thieves had already run away.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Porter helped Werther up and suddenly sneezed. "Why is there a strange smell in the air, and it's pungent."
"Quick, take me to the bucket. I want to wash my face." Werther said hurriedly.
Porter quickly helped him to the bucket and washed Werther's face with the water in it.
After washing for a long time, Werther gradually felt less pain, but still felt a little uncomfortable, so he continued to close his eyes.
"I smelled it just now. It was the smell of chili. Those thieves just sprinkled chili powder on me, which is chili powder." Witte explained to Porter, "Chili is a food that recently appeared in Frank City.
, it has an irritating feeling, and if the chili powder enters the eyes, it will cause unbearable pain."
"Just now, those people actually spread such things to you!" Potter said in surprise, "Do you know who they are?"
"When Wile and I were selling jewelry in Nightstone Town, they stole our horses. I only knew they were thieves, but I didn't know why they appeared outside the castle." Witte still closed his eyes, "I'm very confused.
What's more, chili peppers are rare and expensive in France. Looking at the whole of Notland, no one knows about them. How can they have chili noodles?"
"Could it be that someone else gave it to them?"
"I am also doubting this. Both the stepmother and the chef can easily access chili peppers. Although the Duke of Duck is in Duck City, he currently lives in Frank City and can easily access the pepper through his stepmother and the chef.
I got chili noodles from the palace. So I suspect that those three thieves were sent by Duke Dark or Lady Agnes."
"Then what should you do?"
"Just watch out for them."
Werther returned to the castle to rest for a while. He was a little tired today, so he wanted to go to bed early.
Wile handed him the black tea and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, are you still going to practice magic tonight?"
"I don't have enough energy today, so I won't practice. Wile, I want to tell you that I was attacked today."
"What? Your Highness was actually attacked!" Wile's hand shook and the black tea in the cup almost spilled out.
Werther quickly took the cup, drank all the black tea inside, and then told him what happened near the warehouse just now.
"Then what are your plans?"
"I think if it is really someone sent by the Dake family, they will definitely try their best to prevent me from running the town. Tomorrow, you can help me instruct the workers to keep an eye on the new farms, workshops and wineries, and be on guard against failure.
It was destroyed by those three thieves."
"What about your safety, Your Highness?"
"Those three thieves are not a threat to my safety. The most they can do is use this despicable method of sprinkling chili powder. I will be careful."
After saying this, Werther went to the bedroom on the second floor and prepared to go to bed. He planned to start buying wild vegetables early tomorrow morning. Of course, he would ask his men to sell them in other towns. Maybe he could sell some silver coins and maybe raise the price of dawn.
