industrial lord

Chapter 710 Visitors
The window of the hotel room was opened a little, and Frederick looked at the bustling crowd downstairs from behind the window.

Belle Burke came back, sniffed Frederick and said, "It looks clean."

Frederick tickled her with his backhand and asked, "What news did you get?"

Bell Burke pulled out a newspaper extra edition and said, “Schneider gave the city a surprise, sneaking out of town in the middle of the night to meet a friend.”

Frederick took the special edition and took a look. This was basically the statement, without any mention of the killing in the dark.

"Don't they know who is coming?" Frederick was a little surprised. It only said that the airship team sent four people and their entourage, but did not mention their identities.

Bell Burke said, "There's no photo studio here yet. Just now, when the photographer was taking pictures, someone was watching and almost blocked the camera, so there was a quarrel."

"You're not going to see them?"

Frederick said, "No, they will do it well. It's better to spend more time with you."

Bell Burke said, "You should go and keep them company."

Frederick smiled and said, "I'll be with you during the day and with them at night."

He was licking his lips and about to attack Bellburk, when he suddenly frowned because there was a level 1 Magic God nearby.

At the same time, the guest rooms on the top floor of the hotel were cleared for guests, and Schneider met with long-lost friends in the pub on the first floor.

The tables in the tavern were rearranged. In addition to the Schneider family and the three guests, there were also local officials and reporters. One of the guests was dizzy from airship sickness and went to the room to rest first.

Romon, the chief tailor of the Wesson family, said to Schneider, "I am so sorry. I went to the Ghazi Empire to collect folk songs at the invitation of His Majesty Fatih, the Emperor of the Ghazi Empire. Later, I went to the Dashi Empire for a tour. I came back less than half a month ago."

"I saw your letter two days ago and was about to send you a telegram. When I heard from my assistant about the difficulties you encountered, I rushed over immediately."

Schneider was overwhelmed with emotions, and the last thing he said was, "Thank you, thank you so much."

He still thought that Roman happened to come here today, and the person who sent the signal was a staff member of the Principality of Wessen, otherwise he would not have failed to notify him in advance.

Luo Meng complained, "You are really unkind. If you can't find me when you encounter such a big difficulty, you can always find Mr. All Might. When he heard that I was going on a long journey, he came to me to make clothes. He also mentioned you and lamented that the sewing machine you invented has brought changes to the world."

"If you think the matter is too big, then go to my master. He still talks about you from time to time. Miss Eltal also knows you."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked his secretary to hand him a briefcase. He took out a copy of last month's "Textile News" and pointed to the front-page headline to show Schneider.

This report was about Maria's personal visit to a small textile town on behalf of Frederick. Every household in this town had a sewing machine, and 90% of the hats produced in the Principality of Wessen came from here.

Now some light industries in the Principality of Wessen are scattered along the transportation network, focusing on "one town, one product". "Hat Town" is just one of them. In addition, there are "Socks Town", "Glove Town", "Underwear Town" and so on.

During the inspection, Maria gave a speech in which she mentioned Schneider, the inventor of the sewing machine, and called on everyone to learn from Schneider's spirit of invention.

Schneider was somewhat moved, yet also somewhat ashamed.

The officials around were passing around the newspaper and re-evaluating the relationship between Schneider and Grand Duke Wessen.

After saying this, Luo Meng added: "I telegraphed to the master before I came here, and the master said that he would definitely lend a helping hand to his friends in trouble."

"It's just that the recent grain case in Hanma City has had a very bad impact, and he can't leave for the time being, so he asked his chief steward to come as his plenipotentiary representative."

Ah Fu had a stern face from beginning to end, but he nodded slightly to Schneider.

There was a sudden cry of surprise in the tavern. The butler was the noble's personal agent, and Ah Fu's arrival could be said to be "like Grand Duke Wesson himself."

Schneider's problem is that he has no money, but this amount of money is definitely not a problem for Grand Duke Wessen. The locals have more confidence in this than Frederick himself.

Luo Meng introduced another strong man who was accompanying them.

This man was of sturdy build, with a resolute face and a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Casimir pretended to be a reporter and mixed in the crowd. He made eye contact with the burly man for a long time and suddenly had a feeling that he was looking at him like a pig to be slaughtered.

Ever since Frederick announced the "Maria Plan" to develop the Bohemian region, Casimir had planned this action in an attempt to create a major incident outside the sphere of influence of the Duchy of Wessen that would damage Frederick's reputation.

He didn't intend to kill the Schneider family. He just wanted to lure them to Bohemia and let them go into exile there as evidence for his propaganda.

As a result, something went wrong at the last moment, his men suffered heavy losses, and Grand Duke Wessen's men were called in.

Casimir didn't think that Roman and his party arrived by chance. Considering what happened last night, the Principality of Wessen must have been paying attention to it for a long time.

So he came to see today and know how Grand Duke Wesson would make his move first.

At this time, Romon said: "This is our master's teacher, Baron Metzger."

The scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone was wondering, who is Metzger?

Casimir suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his clothes on the back were soaked.

He had done a lot of research on the Wesson Army, so he naturally knew about the "Emperor Killer" Metzger. Chief Justice Baumgart also reacted and asked cautiously, "Excuse me, are you the 'Emperor Killer' Baron Metzger?"

Metzger's mouth curved into a friendly arc, and he said with a smile: "I am Metzger. Those honors are not just my credit, but also the credit of the principal and the entire Wesson Army."

Casimir wanted to run away. This was the "Emperor Killer". He had previously made a famous record by killing an emperor. Two years ago, in a battle with pagans in the west, he killed a king, a grand duke, three dukes, and dozens of earls and below in one battle. It was said that he also killed half of the royal magic corps on the way. A magic god among the pagans was convinced by him and joined the Duchy of Wessen. Among the "Guardian Cards" sold by the church, his card was the most expensive, even higher than that of Grand Duke Wessen.

He is the king. Did Wesson send him here to target him?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

The scene was once again in an uproar.

A beautiful female reporter stood up and said, "Baron Metzger, can I do a special interview with you?"

Metzger nodded and said, "No problem. When you are free, you journalist friends can come and interview me. The journalist friend in blue can also come along."

Metzger thought he had seen this man before and that he looked familiar. He also seemed very nervous, perhaps trying to muster up the courage to ask if he could be interviewed, so he took the initiative to invite him.

Casimi's hands and feet suddenly turned cold, and he suddenly remembered that when he went to Weissenburg to attend the World Expo, he heard that he was on duty so he went to take a look. Unexpectedly, he recognized him and asked him to wash his neck himself and come to his door.

At this time, Frederick in the guest room said helplessly: "Sir Eusebio, can you avoid our room when casting the fear spell?"

He was speechless.

Ah Fu actually brought here this Lord God of Magic who has just joined the Principality of Wessen for two years. It is understandable that he is a bodyguard, but what is the meaning of casting the fear spell? Is he trying to scare someone?

Frederick himself was not affected, but Bellberk was.

The fear in her heart was infinitely magnified. At this time, she was hugging Frederick's legs and begging him not to abandon her, which made Frederick a little embarrassed.

Afu's original intention was to demonstrate Frederick's financial and military strength and to scare the officials in the city who were inclined towards the Piast Kingdom, but he did not expect it to have an unexpected effect.

Eusebio knew that his boss was in the city, but he didn't expect that he lived downstairs from him, which scared his boss's lover.

He immediately changed the range of his casting, as it would be difficult if his boss got angry and fired him.

The work in the Principality of Wessen is not only challenging and fulfilling, but the income is high. I'm currently pursuing a lady and I'm spending a lot of money.

Downstairs in the bar, cold sweat began to form on Baumgart's forehead.

Casimir lived in his own property. If he was killed by Metzger, the Piast Kingdom would definitely not let him go.

I participated in the operation against Grand Duke Wessen, and now the matter must have been exposed. Grand Duke Wessen will naturally not let me go.

Baumgart felt that he would not be able to escape assassination attempts from both sides.

At this time, Romon said calmly: "Sir Eusebio has returned to the guest room to rest because of the fatigue of the journey."

Casimir's face became even paler. People around him didn't know who Eusebio was, but he knew that he was a god of magic who studied dark magic, which was very convenient to use in assassinations.

After introducing the people who came with him, Luo Meng said to Schneider, "I don't have the ability to deal with money. I can only help you find the master and see what he says."

The whole audience immediately focused their attention.

Ah Fu said in an emotionless tone: "We have two options."

"For the first option, I will provide an interest-free loan. The money can be repaid in installments within 10 years. If it exceeds the period, the remaining amount will start to be charged an annual interest of %."

The onlookers were shocked again. With the speed at which Schneider made money, he would definitely be able to pay off the money within fifteen years. For investors, not charging interest would mean losing money.

Ah Fu continued, "The second option is to transfer the debt and we will buy it at the original price."

This time the scene was as noisy as an explosion.

If the debt is transferred, Schneider will be debt-free, and then it will be Grand Duke Wessen who will ask the Piast Kingdom to collect the debt.

If the Piast Kingdom defaults on its debts again, as it did last time when tens of thousands of its troops were wiped out outside the city in half a day, and then Grand Duke Wesson led 800 men to wipe out 100,000 men. God knows how many people Grand Duke Wesson will bring to collect the debt this time.

Casimir's heart was pounding. He had not planned to pay this much money in the first place, and he couldn't come up with so much cash at once!
He finally understood why Metzger came. The information about him here had been leaked long ago, and he came to arrest him because he was afraid that he would default on his debt. He would have no pressure at all to kill him if he could not pay the money.

As for being the king?
Casimir still remembered that he had two silly sisters, but they had fallen into Wesson's hands and were hidden. There had been no news about them. Perhaps he was preparing to kill him and then support one of them to become king.

I never expected that when I was plotting against Wei Sen, I would be plotted against by him. If I am not careful, I will be completely finished and there will be no way for me to turn things around.

Casimir began to pray in his heart that Schneider would choose the first option.

"Then let's go with the second one." Schneider said. He saw that Roman's two fingers were moving slightly.
