Chapter 279 Exaggerated rumors
Frederick did not expect that he would be so famous in the Kush Kingdom, and he would become the "Story King" during these days in Berth Port.

At first, it was just the sheriff who met that day asked him to drink and brag, and the next day they went to work and heard new stories everywhere.

That night, several minor nobles in charge of security in the city hosted a banquet and invited Frederick for no other reason than to hear stories.

Frederick could only continue bragging to them as "Charles Smith, a member of the Duke of Wesson's guard". , How to flood the army in the end.

Then it couldn't stop, Bosse Port was such a big place, as soon as the news spread, invitations from other nobles and businessmen came one after another.

Fortunately, the Queen brought the one-year-old prince to visit the father and mother stationed here, and the nobles and nobles in the city were busy welcoming them, allowing Frederick to take a breather.

Unexpectedly, the queen also wanted to hear his story after hearing about him.

In the afternoon, she invited Frederick to drink tea at the Santo's Mansion where he was staying.

Afternoon tea in the Kush Kingdom is different from that in the north. They like to lay out gorgeous carpets under the cool shade of trees, and sit or half lie in the breeze, and everyone drinks tea and chats together.

Her Royal Highness Simi, Queen of the Kingdom of Kush, was the same age as Frederick, and she got married early here. Her son Amir was already one year old, and he was sitting on the carpet in front of her building blocks.

Today, many noble young men and women from the city were invited to come together. They sat on both sides of the carpet, with fruits and snacks in the middle.

The servants were brewing tea in the downwind, and before the tea was served, people on both sides chatted with each other.

It was the first time Frederick participated in such a tea party, and asked about the rules with his old buddies whom he met a few days ago.

In fact, there are no rules. A tea party is not as formal as a banquet. It is just a group of people noisy and laughing together.However, generally the host will set a topic, and the two parties will debate or sing in antiphonal songs.

Frederick blinked at the end when he heard it, thinking to himself why didn't Susan and the others play in Wessen?

It didn't take long for the tea to be brewed. It's called tea, but it's better to say that it's mixed with tea and juice. There is a straw inserted in the one-kilo cup. It's sweet and sour, and it's delicious.

Next came the highlight of the day. Simi made some opening remarks, and then asked Frederick a question: "Doesn't Duke Wesson never take a bath, he only bathes in blood?"

Frederick fell silent for a moment. At first, he thought that Simi was joking, but seeing her black eyes under her veil were full of curiosity and seriousness, as were the ladies next to her, and wondered if they really thought so Bar.

"It's not that exaggerated." Frederick shook his head with a smile. "The commander still takes a bath regularly, which is good for health."

Simi made a look of sudden realization, and said seriously: "So, he only bathes in the blood of the enemy when he is fighting!"

Frederick blinked, and wanted to ask the young queen, what was going on in your mind?

Simmy then asked curiously: "Does Duke Wesson put a pillow under the sword when he sleeps?"

Frederick again didn't know what to say, wondering if his head hurts from sleeping like this.

However this is just the beginning.

In the following time, Simi and the girls next to her asked many questions, including but not limited to:
"Has Duke Wesson ever wrestled an arm with a stegodon, used both of its front legs, and won?"

"Didn't Duke Wesson never kill two birds with one arrow, and when he shoots one arrow, the whole flock dies?"

"Duke Wesson never cries, he doesn't even have tear ducts?"

……

Frederick's forehead was covered with sweat, and he wondered what he had been told. The most outrageous thing was that his eyes could shoot hot rays.

There are certain sayings circulating even on the men's side, such as "the fastest way to a man's heart is Duke Wesson's knife" and so on.

Frederick could only keep explaining, but some of them could only be "right, right." For example, someone asked: "Can Duke Wesson drink soup with a fork?"

Too lazy to explain, tired.

Everyone heard that one rumor was completely true, so they thought the next person asked "did Duke Wesson kill a whale in 10 seconds, and the first 9 seconds were waiting for the whale to summon up the courage to charge him" It should be right too.

What else can Frederick say, and the next "yes, yes, yes" will be over.

After answering the questions, Frederick began to talk about the "War of Restoration of the East Pulan Empire". It was only two days before he knew what other people called this war.

But Simi wasn't very interested in war matters, and just listened casually, teasing his son from time to time.

Frederick saw it, and told the story in a few words.

Soon after, it was time for Simmy to breastfeed the baby, and today's tea party came to an end.

It's just that Frederick was a little depressed, and he didn't care about the meal.

But he was too lazy to complain, anyway, he planned to leave in two days. He walked up the river, reached the mountains in the south, walked west in the mountains, and then crossed the forest from south to north.

But before leaving, I have to buy some souvenirs and send them back to everyone, mainly to report that I am safe.

It was dark and late in the south, and there were still many shops open at this time.

Frederick inquired all the way and came to a shop selling local jewelry, and found a lot of good things.

There are many bugs here, and there are many bright and beautiful beetles, which are used by local people to make jewelry.

It's just that local tyrants don't like this kind of beetle jewelry and don't bother to wear it. Only wealthy people will buy it.

For outsiders like Frederick and others, gold, silver and jewelry are precious, but these products with local characteristics are even more attractive.

He picked and picked, this one was pretty good, that one was pretty good, and almost emptied out their shops.

When paying the money, Frederick suddenly saw a fishing rod behind the counter, so he asked the boss, "Is there any place to fish near here?"

The boss was counting the money, and immediately replied: "There are lakes and rivers a few kilometers east of the city, and the fish there are plentiful and fat."

"It's hot now, and the sun is almost noon, and the fish will run out. If you want to catch a big fish, you have to go at night. But the city gate is closed at night, and you go out in the evening, and you don't come back until dawn when the gate opens."

Frederick heard the same thing. It was a hot day, and the fish would not eat at noon. He asked the boss what kind of bait the fish here, and the boss said that digging some earthworms on the surface of the water would do.

The boss was very happy to have done such a big business today, and told him that there is a bridge on the east side of the river, and the locations on both sides of the bridge are the best.

Frederick made a note of it. I’m afraid it’s too late today. I’ll have to go to the travel agency to check in the luggage and prepare dry food. I’ll take a rest during the day and set off in the evening tomorrow.
