Chapter 210: Go and Stay
"Soap?" She picked up a piece and put it on her nose and sniffed it, and she could indeed smell the scent of roses.
"Yes, it's hard to imagine that it was a sticky paste before it was made. In order to make it fragrant, His Highness added perfume to it."
May subconsciously glanced at the price on the paper. The price of each twenty-five silver wolf was considered a luxury item, but compared to the more expensive perfume, the price was obviously too low. "Are you sure you added perfume? When I was performing in the capital, a great nobleman once gave me three bottles. Each perfume was only the size of a thumb, but the price was more than five golden dragons. For such a large piece of soap, at least half a bottle would have to be added, right?"
"Is that so?" Carter was stunned. "Perfume is so expensive?"
"Of course," Maye gave him a blank look, "that is one of the most proud products of the Royal Alchemy Association. Apart from crystal glass, it is the best-selling perfume. I heard that, except for the batch that was tributed to the royal family, there are only nearly a thousand bottles of perfumes that can flow to the market every year. Those who can afford such things are upper-class nobles and wealthy merchants. If it weren't for someone's gift, I would never have received the rewards for several dramas to buy a bottle of perfume."
"But I see that His Highness did not use any rare materials when making perfume... He said that it seemed to be made of sugar cane?" Carter added when he saw Mayi's puzzled look, "Sugar cane is a sweet stick, a crop from the fjord, which looks like a stick, and it bites sweet water. At present, only the backyard of the castle is planted. Next time I ask Your Highness to see if I can bring one out."
It's His Highness the Prince again... After May came to the town, he heard the name Roland Wimbledon the most. Whether it was Erin or Carter, he would always mention him when talking about the changes in the town. It seemed that His Highness knew everything and everything, and all these novel things were created by him.
Is there really such a knowledgeable person in the world? She expressed doubts about this. No matter how smart a person is, it takes time to learn new knowledge. Whether it is the capital of the capital or the Changge Fortress, the recognized erudites are all white-haired old people. There is even a saying in the folk in the Western Region: the longer the beard, the more knowledge it is. The prince herself is only in her twenties, so how could he know so much?
Thinking of this in my heart, May's face still looked normal, "No, if it can be used to make perfume, it must be a very rare crop. Especially the perfume formula, which can be sold at a sky-high price in any alchemy shop. Don't inquire with Your Highness, even if you see it, don't say it out."
"Okay," Carter responded, took out a handkerchief and wrapped four soaps into it.
"You want to buy so much?"
"One person can purchase at most two yuan. We pretend to buy it separately, and we will give it to you after we go out - don't disagree," the Knight reached out to stop what May wanted to say, "I can apply to Your Highness after I use it, but if I sell it here, I don't know when there will be new products. You can use these four yuan for a long time."
May looked at the other party's serious eyes, and felt as if something had been burned in her heart. It took her a long time...? She pursed her lips, stopped making a sound, and silently watched the Knight wrap the soap.
"Since you're here, let's look at other products," he smiled as he picked up the cloth bag.
...
When I returned to the "home" in Bianfeng Town, it was already dim outside the window.
The ending glow penetrated through the window, dyeing the decorations in the room a touch of orange.
Since staying here to perform the follow-up drama, May also received a room like Erin. Although it is not big, it is full of all things.
She placed the novelty items she bought from convenience stores one by one on the table, and in addition to four pieces of soap, there was also a bottle of wine.
This bottle of wine is different from the ale commonly found in the tavern. It has almost no color and is as pure and transparent as water. Remember that the product introduction says it is called white wine, which has a high concentration and should not be drunk too much.
She smiled at Baijiu, and the name was really appropriate from the appearance.
Pulling out the wood plug, May poured himself a glass. He raised the cup and a scent of sniffing came to her face, making her frown. However, after the smell, a scent of wine drifted into her nose, sweet and mellow, completely different from the taste of inferior water-added wine in a tavern.
Because she requires full dedication and high concentration when acting, she rarely goes to the tavern. Only after the drama is successful, the theater will celebrate her with two drinks. The feeling of being drunk is not bad, but after witnessing the behavior of many actors who lose their composure after getting drunk, she always controls her alcohol tolerance to a range that does not affect her thinking.
However, May now has a strong urge to get drunk, otherwise she would not have bought this valuable bottle of white wine under Carter's dissuasion. Heard other actors say that after getting drunk, she can block distracting thoughts and concerns. Seeing the real answer in her heart, she wants to give it a try.
May closed her eyes, raised her head and poured the wine from the glass into her mouth. A hot feeling suddenly exploded in her throat. The wine that had not been swallowed was sprayed out directly. The violent cough made her choke and tears.
Hell, is this thing really wine?
When the burning sensation completely subsided, she bit her lip and tried again - this time, she only dared to swallow in small sips, and after the hotness, it was rich and mellow, and the two flavors were mixed together. It was hard to say how delicious it was, but it brought her a strange feeling.
After only half a quarter of an hour, May felt a hint of dizziness coming to his heart.
She took out a fist-sized iron box from her pocket and opened the lid. She saw a bright mirror facing her inside. This mirror is different from the previous bronze or silver mirror. Its surface is smooth and traceless, and the scene reflected is extremely clear and it must be valuable. Through the mirror, May can see her slightly red cheeks and confused eyes.
This was the gift given to her by the Chief Knight when she was separated. She wanted to refuse, but the other party turned around and left without giving her a chance to push it back. While leaving quickly, he turned back and waved goodbye to her. Seriously, when Carter Lannis didn't speak, his appearance was definitely the type that was impeccable, but if he was not a chattering man, he wouldn't be kept.
So, do you want to take root here? Stay away from the bustling city and start over in this remote town. The only people who know her identity are the crew... The fear of the unknown makes it difficult for her to make up her mind.
May spread out the letter that had been placed on the table for a few days - it was handed over to her by His Highness through Erin. The writer was Pero, the manager of the fortress. From the letter, she learned that the Fortress Theatre announced that she was missing, and Pero herself wanted her to return to the fortress to continue performing.
His Highness the Prince did not conceal this news, and he handed over the choice to himself.
May sipped the remaining wine in the glass and his vision gradually became hazy.
She staggered to the desk, spread out a piece of paper, and began to write a reply.
In the overlapping thoughts, she saw the Fortress Theater, Erin, Filming Hilt, the cheering town square and the third-rate actors who were so excited that they were so excited... In the end, these slowly faded away, and only Carter Lannis left her mind with a grin and a smile on her face.
"Hello, Miss May, can I treat you a drink?"
