Chapter 837: The Outsider Who Blows His Own Horn

"Yes, very satisfied. I have to admit, this is the most satisfying red wine I have ever tasted. New Continent, is it so suitable for reclaiming vineyards?"

She looked at Xia De inquiringly, and Xia De talked about his business secrets with a smile:

"Yes, we have the best black soil, the best fertilizer 'Golden Kela' passed down from family, the best sunshine conditions, the most diligent warehouse orange cat, and cheap and inexpensive workers. Your Highness, I bet our red wine is the best on the entire continent!"

In fact, the grapes for brewing wine are the leftover inferior products that Miss Galina's manor couldn't finish eating. Xia De heard Tifa mention it, so he asked for them to brew wine to prevent waste.

Princess Margaret revealed an understanding smile at Xia De's "blowing his own horn":

"Sir, are you interested in providing wine for the nobles of Willendale? I can give you some small tax convenience."

She said while pinching her fingers. Xia De's eyes swept from the other party's red fingernails, and he answered fluently according to the "lines" agreed with Mr. Bernhard:

"Sorry Your Highness, the annual output of my winery is not much. We have fixed partners in Coldwater Port and Midhillburg in the Delarion region."

"That's really a pity."

The princess said, but there was no regret on her face. It was because she was sitting with her back to the window, and the sunlight made the ring on her fingers casually placed on the sofa armrest shine, and also made her slender white neck look very attractive:

"I'm not a vampire, what am I thinking?"

In the laughter of "her", Xia De thought in his heart.

Princess Margaret continued:

"I heard that you are friends with Viscount Bernhard? This time I specially brought some red wine to give to him for evaluation. I don't know, how much stock do you have in your hands?"

This is her real purpose. Giving this kind of "high-end wine" provided by Xia De to the Delarion nobles is absolutely the best private gift.

"The quantity of wine?"

Xia De made a difficult expression, and then looked at Mr. Bernhard, who nodded slightly.

This is acting, indicating that the two are communicating about this matter.

"Your Highness, it is an honor that you can like the red wine produced by our winery. But this time, I came to Huntington as a friend, so I didn't bring too much luggage, and when entering the country from Delarion, too much wine would also be taxed, otherwise I would have used large wooden barrels to transport it. Sorry Your Highness, I still need to keep some to visit old friends in Willendale next week, so if you want, I can donate 8 bottles in a private capacity."

"Oh, Mr. Holmes, maybe you can consider it again."

Without the princess opening her mouth, Mr. Bernhard took the initiative to "persuade" his friend, and the tone was even a bit exaggerated:

"With your noble status, Your Highness, I will not let you pay in vain. Haven't you always wanted to open up the Casenrik market? This is a good opportunity. You are always obstructed when doing business with the Deraerion people, so why not come here to do business?"

Xia De hesitated:

"Yes, those Delarion nobles are all bloo..."

Originally wanted to use the term "vampire" to satirize, but then remembered that Mr. Bernhard was a vampire, so he changed his words:

"... are all blood-sucking tapeworms. I contacted a noble related to the royal family, and she actually held my cat hostage and said 'Young gentleman, you don't want your cat to lose its owner, right?' to threaten me and make me agree to her unreasonable request."

In the end, Xia De still agreed to Lei Qianya. This is the princess imitating the plot of the opera.

"Then how about 10 bottles? Your Highness, these wines are not worth much, I am willing to give them to you, but this is the red wine I specially brought by boat from the New Continent, which itself is to express my heart to old friends."

"Mr. Holmes, these wines will be used as gifts to the Delarion royal family. I think this should be helpful to your business. The noble ladies of the north are really rude."

Princess Margaret said with a smile, Xia De thought for a while and nodded:

"Then you can take 12 bottles, and I wish your Delarion visit a smooth journey. Those wines are now stored in Viscount Bernhard's manor, and I am also staying there temporarily. Is it too late to send them tomorrow?"

"It's fine before ten o'clock tomorrow."

The princess said, and then reached behind her, and the maid standing behind her handed a draft to Xia De:

"A small token, your wine is worth this price. I hope that after I return from Delarion, I can still discuss the customs of the New Continent and the experience of brewing wine with you."

"No, no, I can't take your money."

Xia De hurriedly declined, so Mr. Bernhard took the draft for him:

"Mr. Holmes, how can you refuse the princess?"

Then he pushed Xia De's hand away and stuffed the draft into Xia De's pocket.

Princess Margaret was very satisfied with Mr. Bernhard's performance, Mr. Bernhard was very satisfied with Xia De's performance, and Xia De was also very satisfied with the princess's performance—he just saw that the number on the draft was "75".

"15 bottles, 5 pounds a bottle?"

Although 5 pounds is a very high number for the poor, for high-end red wine consumed by nobles, this price cannot be taken out. For example, the bottle of Midro Winery 1803 cellar storage that Mr. Bernhard treated Xia De to for lunch, the single bottle price is definitely close to three-digit gold pounds.

The gift that Margaret Anjou wants to give to the Delarion royal family, although it doesn't have to be that level of famous wine, the price of 5 pounds a bottle is really too shabby.

【It is crowns.】

"She" reminded softly.

Xia De only then remembered that this was Casenrik. There was no reason for the draft the princess handed over to use "Jin Bang" as the unit. And at the current exchange rate, it took 11 to 12 Jin Bang to exchange for one crown.

He raised his eyebrows, and when he thanked Princess Margaret Anjou, his smile became more sincere. Without the blessing of fame, no matter how excellent his wine is, such a high premium is an overflow. It seems that the princess of the Anjou family and the princess of the Cavendish family both have rich savings.

Thinking about it this way, if it weren't for the fact that the source of the wine is not convenient to explain, and private brewing is illegal, he could actually rely on mass production of blood brew to make a fortune.

"However, whether this kind of blood brew will be addictive..."

This is also something that needs to be considered.

Although Princess Margaret Anjou also has the power of a witch, because that power is too low, her disgust for men is not very strong. This princess has nothing to do today, and is tired of the visits of local noble youths, so she left Xia De and Mr. Bernhard to talk to her.

The specific content of the conversation is about the customs of the Old Continent and the New Continent. But Xia De has never been to the New Continent, so he focused on the situation in Delarion with the cooperation of Mr. Bernhard. Coincidentally, Princess Margaret is going to set off for that Pearl of the North on Saturday night, so she inquired about Tobesk from Xia De.

Tobesk is Xia De's base camp. Because he is related to people of different classes, detective work makes him often enter and exit the lower city. Therefore, he is familiar with the living conditions of nobles, middle class, clergy, and ordinary poor people in Tobesk, and also knows a lot about the lace news of Tobesk... especially about his own.

Princess Margaret is very interested in these things, especially the part about the northern nobles. Xia De tried his best to maintain his character setting, so he didn't know too many noble privacy, didn't know the interior decoration of the king's study in Yodel Palace, didn't know the small hobbies of royal members, didn't know the location of the Military Intelligence Agency's stronghold, and even more didn't see the file bag of royal military documents at the duchess's place.

Although he couldn't tell too detailed content, considering that he would recognize this princess again as "Hamilton of Lei Jiede" in the next few weeks, he spoke well of himself when the topic turned to this "young knight", paving the way for the contact of his real identity.

"Contacting the Guiding Moon", "Obtaining the book 'Secret Art of Immortality' borrowed by the princess", and "Finding the Gray-Headed Eagle" are all related to her.

"Speaking of Hamilton of Lei Jiede, I think Your Highness should have heard of him. I was fortunate enough to have seen that young gentleman at the Seer Association on Silver Cross Avenue in Tobesk, and even played Rod cards with this champion of the 1853 Big City Player. I have to admit, he is really very handsome, and treats people kindly, speaks elegantly, and is also quite shrewd."

Xia De said, Mr. Bernhard tightened his face, slanted his eyes, held his teacup, and quietly looked at him. This vampire knew Xia De's true identity.

"I have also heard rumors about it. It is said that that knight is actually the lover of Duchess Galina Cavendish?"

This princess with pale golden long hair asked softly.

Xia De did not expect that such strange rumors were also circulating among the Casenrik nobility. He wanted to refute this claim because, for now, he could only be considered the lover of Miss Jia Lin Na's personal maid and grandniece, not the lover of the Duchess. But rashly refuting it would only make his identity suspected, so he explained:

"Yes, this statement is widely spread in Tobesk, and there are many untrue statements in the lace newspapers. But in such a big city, such rumors are as many as snowflakes in winter, so I can't explain the actual situation."

Princess Margaret nodded lightly, but Mr. Bernhard subconsciously thought it was true. He didn't understand why he had this idea. After all, the Xia De Hamilton in his eyes was so upright and helpful. It's just that vaguely, the vampire felt that even if Xia De had any emotional connection with the humanoid relic, he wouldn't be surprised:

"Why would I think so? Am I normal?"

Mr. Bernhard thought while listening to the conversation between Xia De and the princess, feeling inexplicable about this idea of his. ===== CHAPTER 838 =====
