Chapter 278 Boarding the Ship for a New Life

The layout of the hotel rooms in Wessen State is different from other places. The bathroom is next to the door, and the luggage cabinet is on the opposite side. After walking through the short porch, there is a room with beds, tables and chairs. Behind the bright window is a room. Thin and thick double curtains.There is also a schematic diagram of the fire escape route pasted on the door of the room, which was exchanged for more than 100 lives in Oak City.

Olive sat on the bed, pressed the mattress, and bounced up, feeling quite amusing.

This kind of mattress is a special product of the Kush Kingdom. The raw material is a kind of palm fiber produced in the hot southern region. It was originally used to make rough clothes and ropes. It was the idea of ​​the guy who was looking at the map in the room to make the mattress.

Frederick was studying the map he had just bought, and this place was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

The terrain of the southern continent of this world is very similar to that of his hometown, Africa, but the location of the Sahara Desert is a tropical rainforest called forest sea or green sea. The cities are distributed in the northern coastal area, and the southern part of the rainforest is a mountain and a plateau with a high altitude. .

The port of Bosse where they are now is located in the northeast corner of the area actually controlled by the Kush Kingdom, which is equivalent to the northern end of the Suez Canal. The Luna Peninsula to the east is occupied by the Ghazi Empire. Now the two countries are facing each other in a swamp area nearly [-] kilometers long. There were skirmishes.

The territory of the Kush Kingdom is roughly equivalent to Egypt in his hometown, but the big river called the Sun River is different from the Nile River. Its main stream comes from the mountains in the south, but there are countless forests in the west and hills in the east. Tributaries flow into it.

There is no shortage of water, light and heat here, and it seems to be very suitable for farming, but the tropical rainforest here will also expand outwards. The seeds brought by bird droppings can make the farmland grow taller than a wheat or rice plant in a few days. small tree.It's even worse in the cotton field, and you won't be able to tell the difference for a while.

What's more serious is the human and animal diseases spread by the hot climate and the bugs that breed in ponds, lakes, etc. The bugs and small reptiles basically carry toxins. The slimes here even eat too many poisonous bugs and bring them with them. Toxicity.

After combining past and current information, Frederick had some understanding of this country, and decided not to go to Madam Sophie, but to walk around by himself.

At this time, someone knocked hard on the door of the room. Frederick immediately became alert, picked up a weapon and walked towards the door.

He used the scabbard to open the curtain behind the cat's eye, and then slowly went to check after a few seconds.

The door kept ringing, and there were several people in khaki police uniforms outside. If they changed their clothes to navy blue, they would be white instead of the local brown skin, just like the Wessen State police.

Frederick asked aloud in standard Germanic with a Wessen accent: "Who?"

After hearing the knock on the door, someone replied in Zerman with a local accent: "Public security, check the ward!"

Frederick asked again: "Is it really the sheriff? Isn't he a liar?"

The people outside replied politely: "No, we are real sheriffs, and I graduated from the police academy in Wessenburg."

Frederick nodded slightly. Nowadays, various government departments in Wessen state are very short of professional talents under the professional reform of government personnel he brought out. Many departments have opened their own professional training schools.

The Police Department has also opened a police school for half-year professional pre-job training and three-month improvement training. Like many similar schools, it recruits a group of veterans to write teaching materials while bragging about their experience with rookies.

These schools were also open to allies, and the Kush Kingdom also sent people to study. They were all children of noble families who supported Mrs. Sophie who had no right to inherit the title.

Frederick is still not at ease. This is a border area. Maybe there are spies from the Ghazi Empire infiltrating and committing crimes by pretending to be government officials. If the sheriff of the Kush Kingdom kills people from Wessen State, this kind of thing will be done after a while. Can rise to the diplomatic level.

“[Standard Wessenburg city swearing]!” Frederick suddenly yelled, “Did you have a part when you blue rats came to our school to steal food last year!”

The sheriff outside immediately cursed back: "[Not standard Wessen state swearing]! It turned out to be a big-faced cat! You still don't open the door to see how I deal with you! How dare you be arrogant when you come to my land!"

The police academy in Wessen State is opened in the suburbs, not far from the recruit training base of the Black Cat Troops. Frederick has a vegetable field in the traditional base that the army wants to grow vegetables. Last year, a group of police academy schools went to steal vegetables, and then Was beaten badly.

Frederick opened the door and scolded the sheriff outside the door for 5 minutes. Olive hid in the corner of the room and shivered. The security officer in the corridor was confused. Why did the officer just force him but not do anything today?
After the two had finished cursing, they began to exchange documents.

Frederick looked at the other party's magistrate's certificate and sneered: "I lay down for a few days that time."

The person on the other side didn't answer, but said: "In a few days, the empress will bring the eldest prince back to visit her parents. If you see anyone suspicious, please tell us immediately."

Frederick frowned, not to mention anything else, we can be regarded as relatives in a few years, so it is okay to help them pay attention.

Then Frederick called Olive over to let them take a look, and the ward round was over.

"Are you free tomorrow night?" the sheriff asked. "I'll invite a few classmates to have a drink together. We want to hear the story of the previous war."

Frederick smiled and said, "No problem, I'm here for tourism, if I'm not here, tell the front desk."

After checking here, the sheriff took someone to check the opposite room.

It was just that they knocked on the door for a while and no one opened it. Someone inside shouted "Get out", and the accent was from the south of the Kush Kingdom.

It took only 30 seconds to break down the door and arrest people. A fat man and a young woman were dragged out, tied up and sent back for interrogation.

After the scorching sun at noon, Frederick took olives to the street to do some shopping.

Frederick escaped from Wanjing City with olives. She didn't bring any luggage and needed to buy them here.

In the past few years, the business exchanges between Wessen State and the Kush Kingdom have strengthened, and the number of merchants has increased. From time to time, people talking in Germanic can be seen on the street.

Frederick inquired all the way and came to a street with many tailor shops. There are local clothes made here, as well as ready-made clothes imported from Wessen.

But no matter which one you choose, you will always have a turban to block the sun. Frederick is still wearing loose and breathable clothes made by Wanjing City and a black check turban with a white background.

Frederick asked Olive: "What kind of clothes should I buy?"

Olive answered naturally: "Of course it's Wessen's clothes."

Frederick took her to a women's clothing store and asked her to choose by herself, and then asked the boss: "Do you have any cotton clothes here? Let that girl see, I'm afraid she will freeze to death if she is reluctant to buy cotton clothes in winter."

The boss is only two or three years older than Frederick. He came here from Wessen State and married a local proprietress. Although the fellow villager wanted to help, he shook his head and replied, "It's so hot here, how can I prepare cotton clothes."

"I heard that there is a travel agency in the next street. A few years ago, people froze to death at home, and then specially prepared it for people here to see."

Frederick heard a black thread, and thought that there are travel agencies all over the place.

After buying the clothes, he took Olive to look for them all the way, and found that there were quite a lot of customers in this travel agency, all of them were from the southern mainland, and the clothes were either rich or expensive.

As soon as he entered the door, the boss of the travel agency immediately greeted him personally: "Ah,..."

Frederick immediately glared, not allowing one of his father's former scribes to reveal his identity.

The boss immediately understood and welcomed Frederick into the VIP room.

Olive sat on the sofa and looked curiously at the glass fish tank by the wall, which contained many beautiful small fish.

Frederick asked the boss curiously: "You opened this chamber of commerce? It seems that the business is not bad?"

The boss was a little embarrassed. He was in charge of copying in the castle back then. After Frederick's father died in battle, he felt that the Wesson family was about to end, so he ran away to Nuremberg City. It turned out that it was also the territory of the Wesson family a few years later. .

Now that the printing industry is on the rise, the scribe's job is over, so he comes out to make a living.

The boss replied: "I started selling some tableware here, and then I heard that many people wanted to visit Wessen, but the distance is too far and the travel expenses are too expensive."

"Later, I thought that the main reason for the high travel expenses was the high fare of the boat, so I found a captain I knew to cooperate with, and let tourists gather together to charter the boat. The travel fare is much cheaper and there are more people."

Frederick nodded after hearing this. Nobles have a tradition of traveling around these days, and he is also traveling now. The expenses in this area are not small, and you can save as much as you can.

He pointed to Olive and said to the boss: "You can earn this money because of your ability. I met this girl on the road and wanted to work and live in Wessen State. You can arrange how to get there. You got off the boat at Wessenburg City. Don't worry about it."

The boss immediately replied: "We have a ship back to Wessenburg in three days, and we can take her with us. If she wants to live with the waiter, she doesn't have to pay for the journey, just pay for the meal. If you have anything to bring back, we also have it." Delivery of letters and gifts."

Although this is the richest moment in Olive's life, he can spend no money without spending money, so he asked, "Can I get free of meal expenses if I help with the work?"

The boss breathed a sigh of relief. At first, he thought that the girl was the mistress of the duke, and everything he met on the road and going to work was an excuse, but seeing the scars on her face, he was not sure, so he used this method to make indirect remarks.

If it was a mistress, the Duke would have said just now that she should be treated as an official guest.Now this girl is still working actively to save money, which means she is no longer a mistress.

But even if they are not mistresses, they still know each other, there is always friendship, and if one day the duke suddenly remembers to ask about himself, he has to explain.

So the boss gave her a simple job: "If you can help wipe the dishes, you can provide work meals."

Olive agreed immediately.

Three days later, the skinny Olive said goodbye to Frederick on the pier, carrying a backpack almost as big as himself, and happily ran aboard the boat.

When the ship left the port, Frederick waved goodbye to her. Unexpectedly, when we saw each other next time, she would already be the mother of two children.
