Chapter 3 You all have unique skills
At dusk, many scholars and students from Constantbul held bowls around several large pots in the square, waiting for the cook to make noodles.

The place that eats the most noodles this year is the Kingdom of Sardinia. They roll out the dough and cut out individual noodles, then dry them in the sun.

In Weisenling, the noodle making machine has been used here. The feeding screw pushes the dough forward, and finally squeezes it out from the mold at the top of the cylinder. Round, flat noodles are ready, just need someone to turn the handle aside. .

The noodles are put into the pot directly, cooked and put into a bowl, and then go to the side to add a spoonful of garlic sauce, a spoonful of vegetables and a slice of sausage for each person.

After eating the noodles, you can go to the pot and ask for a bowl of noodle soup.

For a traveler who is physically and mentally exhausted after a long journey, having a hot meal is equivalent to a luxurious meal.

On the other hand, Frederick invited Manuai and several scholars with noble status to have dinner in the town hall.

The luxurious food is too late to prepare. Tonight’s staple food is noodles. The main course is roasted pork knuckle with sauerkraut, plus seasonal vegetable chicken soup and fine wine from Wessenburg’s wine cellar. Dessert after dinner is just like flower petals The "Black Crystal Egg" can be regarded as a large amount of content in terms of content.

Manuai and the others were very hungry during this time, and they seldom got off the boat. Every day, they were boiled with black bread and various things.

During the banquet, everyone was not interested in talking. It is rare that a landlord is willing to entertain him. It is a serious matter to work hard

After the meal, Frederick asked Manuai, "I wonder what your future plans are?"

Manuai's eyes were full of confusion, and he said helplessly: "I don't know, we can only go all the way and see where they are willing to take us in."

After finishing speaking, he raised his wine glass and drank the fine wine in the glass, and drank more while there was good wine to drink.

Frederick signaled Ah Fu to pour wine for him, and asked after the glass was full: "I have a question, you are all rare university students in the world, and you couldn't invite them in the past, why are you in this situation now?"

Manuai was silent, looked at each other with several other scholars, finally sighed deeply, and said, "We are the ones who have harmed everyone."

"I'm a necromancer, and it's too late for other people to hide when they see me, so why would they take me in?"

Then another scholar named Friedrich shook his head and said, "I am a poisoner among pharmacists. If you take me in, I'm afraid you won't even dare to drink water."

The third scholar named Diesel said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency may not have heard of me. Your housekeeper should know that my blasting magic is powerful, but I can't tell the enemy from myself."

Hearing this, Frederick looked at Ah Fu in surprise.

He knew very little about this butler, he only knew that Ah Fu was saved by his father a long time ago, so he began to serve the Wesson family from then on, and no one knew about his past.

Alfred just nodded.

The fourth scholar named Ogilvy spread his hands and said: "I study golem puppets, but in recent years, the destruction magic has been changing rapidly, and the high defense advantage of golem puppets has become less and less obvious. It is available to humans, and it is expensive, so no one wants to use it now.”

The fifth scholar, Mathias, covered his face and said, "I am an imperial planter, but the plants I cultivate are too fat, and they are very inflexible in fighting."

The sixth Monofello pointed to Mathias and said, "I am the animal trainer, and I am the same as him."

Finally, Manuai said: "They all went to Constantbul from the Rhine Union to study when they were young, and now they return to their hometown to try their luck."

After listening to the six of them, Frederick said seriously, "I can tell, you all have special skills."

"I'm not talking ironically to laugh at you, but I really think so."

"I've always believed that there is no useless magic, no inherently evil magic, only people who don't use it in the right place."

"Your Excellency Manuai, if you and the scholars agree, I invite you to rest at the manor by Lake Brombach."

"What I hope most, of course, is that you can stay and continue your education and academic research here."

The scene became very quiet in an instant, no one spoke, no one here is an idiot, and everyone knows the relationship between giving and rewarding.

Manuai took a deep look at Frederick, trying to see through his mind, and for a moment he couldn't figure out whether the eight-year-old boy was showing kindness for a while, or had other plans.

"Besides that?" Manuai asked, "Is there anything else we need...to do?"

Frederick picked up the glass and took a sip of the juice, thought about it seriously, and then said: "I plan to dig a canal in the territory to connect the Danube and the Rhine. By then, this place will become a new commercial center."

"If you run a school here, you will surely be able to recruit a lot of students, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these students can also provide taxes for the territory."

"You also brought a lot of books, I think it should be mainly in the imperial language, so I plan to subsidize you to translate them into Rhine language."

"At that time, I will sell the Rhine version of the book, and I will give you a commission."

"Of course, I will also ask you to do something. I will find some young people to ask you to train, and I will also ask you for advice when I encounter some magic problems."

Then he said to Friedrich: "Your Excellency is a poison master, and I plan to subsidize your research on cheap medicines that can expel ascariasis without harming people."

Ascariasis is a huge problem these days, affecting about 10 percent of the population in towns and more than half in villages, and even higher in livestock.

Frederick discovered that the roundworms in this world are more powerful than those in his hometown in his previous life. The temperature of manure composting can’t kill the roundworm eggs. Boiling water is needed to kill the roundworm eggs. The eggs even have a layer of shell that is difficult to digest like some plant seeds, and they can be passed through by birds. fecal transmission.

Fortunately, there is a kind of green acid slime in this world. The acid secreted by their digestive cavity can not only dissolve the armor and clothes of female knights and female wizards, but also kill roundworm eggs when digesting and absorbing organic matter in soil and fertilizers. The outer layer of shell and eggs are digested.

In theory, throwing acid slime into the manure pile can reduce the spread of roundworms, but the manure pile is to be used as fertilizer in the farmland, and the slime's acid will hurt the plants.

Frederick had no choice but to plan to use anthelmintics to get the roundworms out when they were still lolitas. At this time, the individuals would die during composting, so as to reduce the spread.

If it is possible to develop an insect repellent that has no side effects or even low side effects and is cheap, it will be equivalent to lying at home and watching the sky rain gold coins.
