Chapter 210:To Go or to Stay

“The soap?”She picked up a piece and put it by the side of her nose and smelled it, and could really smell the roses.

“Yes, it is hard to imagine that it was made with a sticky paste, and in order to fill it with fragrance, His Royal Highness added perfume to it.”

May subconsciously glanced at the price of the eye paper, the price of each piece of twenty-five silver wolves is a luxury, but compared to the more expensive perfume, the price is obviously too low, "Are you sure to add perfume?"When I performed in the royal capital, a great nobleman once gave me three bottles, each bottle of perfume is only the size of a thumb, but the price is more than five golden dragons.Such a large piece of soap, at least a half bottle of weight, right?”

“Is it?”Carter said, “Is perfume so expensive?”

"Of course," said May, he glanced at him, "that is one of the most proud products of the Wangdu Alchemy Association, and perfumes sell the best in addition to crystal glass."It is said that in addition to the batch of tribute to the royal family, nearly a thousand bottles of perfume can flow to the market every year.Those who can afford such things are upper-class nobles and big-rich businessmen, and if no one gives it away, I would never have bought a bottle of perfume for several plays."

“But I don’t see that my Highness makes perfumes with any rare material... Listen to him, it seems to be made of sugar cane?”Carter saw May's incomfortable face and added, "Sugar cane is a sweet stick, a crop from the fjord, looks like a stick, bites its mouth full of sweet water."At present, only the backyard of the castle is being planted, and next time I ask your Highness, I'll see if you can get me one out."

After May came to town, the name Roland Wimbledon heard most.Whether it was Erin or Carter, he was always mentioned when he talked about the changes in the town.It seems that His Highness is omniscient and omniscient, and all these new things are created by him.

Is there really such a knowledgeable person in the world?She expressed her doubts that it would take time for a person to learn new knowledge even if he was smart.Whether it is Wang Du or Long Song Fortress, recognized scholars are old people with gray hair.There is even a saying among the Western folk: the longer the beard, the wider the knowledge.The prince himself is only 20 years old, how can he know so many things?

In his heart, May's face still looked as usual, "No, if you can use it to make perfume, it must be a very rare crop."Especially the perfume formula, which can sell at a high price in any alchemical workshop, you must not ask your Highness, even if you see it, never say it."

“Okay,” Carter said, taking out a handkerchief and wrapping four pieces of soap into it.

“Do you want to buy so much?”

"A person is limited to two pieces at most, we pretend to buy separately, go out to you - first do not agree," the knight reached out to stop what May wanted to say, "I have used up and can apply to your Highness, but if the sales here do not know when there will be new goods, you can use these four pieces for a long time."

May looked at each other seriously, as if she had been burned by something.For a long time... was it, she licked her lips, stopped making noise, silently watching the knight wrap the soap.

“Since it’s here, look at the other goods,” he said, smiling.

...

Back at the "home" of the border town, there was a yellow outside the window.

The falling light passed through the window and stained the decorations in the room with an orange-red.

Since staying here to perform the follow-up play, May has also been given a room like Irene.Although it is small, it is dirty.

She would have placed the novelty merchandise she had bought from the convenience store on the table, and in addition to four pieces of soap, a bottle of wine.

This bottle is different from the malt and wine commonly found in the tavern, it has almost no color, and it is no different from water.Remember the product introduction said that this is called white wine, the concentration is high, should not drink more.

White wine, she smiled, from the appearance of the name is very appropriate.

Pulling out the wood stopper, May poured herself a drink.Holding up the cup, a smell of throbed, made her frown.However, after this smell, a wisp of wine aroma floated into her nose, sweet and mellow, not like the taste of inferior dosing wine in the tavern.

Because of the full-throated and focused attention, she rarely went to the tavern, and only after the great success of the play, the theater celebrated her collectively with two drinks.That feeling of being drunk is not good to say, but she has witnessed the behavior of many actors after getting drunk, and she has always controlled her own alcohol without affecting her thinking.

However, May now has a strong urge to get drunk, otherwise he would not have bought this bottle of expensive liquor under Carter's dissuasion - listen to other actors, after getting drunk, she can block distractions and concerns, see the real answer in her heart, she wants to try.

May closed her eyes, poured the glass of wine into her mouth, and suddenly a hot feeling exploded in her throat, and the wine that had not yet been swallowed squirted out directly, and the violent cough made her choke tears.

Hell, is this really wine?

When the burning sensation completely subsided, she bit her lips and tried again - this time, she only dared to take a small mouthful of pharynx, and after the heat, it was a rich aroma, two flavors mixed together, not to say how good to drink, but gave her a strange feeling.

After only half an hour, May felt a sense of dizzy rush into her heart.

She took an iron box the size of a fist from her pocket and opened the lid, only to see a clear mirror facing herself.This mirror is different from the previous copper mirror or silver mirror, its surface is smooth and traceless, the picture reflected is very clear, presumably valuable.Through the mirror, May could see her flushed cheeks and confused eyes.

This was a gift from the chief knight to her, and she wanted to refuse, but the other party turned around and left, not giving her the opportunity to push back.He walked away quickly, and he turned back and waved goodbye to her.Seriously, when Carter Lannis doesn’t speak, his appearance is definitely an impeccable type, but if he doesn’t talk, he’s unlikely to be taken back.

So, do you want to take root here?Away from the bustling city, come to this remote town to start again, and only a few people know her identity... The fear of the unknown makes it difficult for her to make up her mind.

May spread out the letter that had been on the table for a few days—that was given to her by His Royal Highness the Prince through Irene, and the letter was written by Pero, the manager of the plug.In the letter, she learned that the Fortress Theatre had declared her whereabouts unknown, and that Perot herself wanted her to return to the fort to perform.

His Royal Highness did not conceal the news, and he gave himself the choice.

May drank the rest of the wine in the cup, and the vision gradually became hazy.

She staggered to her desk, spread out a piece of paper, and began to write a reply.

In the overlapping thoughts, she saw the fortress theater, Irene, Philin Hilt, and the cheering town square and the three-way actors who were too excited to be themselves... Eventually these slowly faded, and only Carter Lannis smiled in her arms.

Hello, Miss May, can I have a drink?
