Kingdom of France, County Aquitaine, City of Bordeaux.

A grand banquet is being held in the Earl of Bordeaux's manor to welcome the arrival of the Marquis of Stewart and the two masters. As the largest and most powerful of the four Marquises in the Kingdom of France, Christine is a great nobleman that everyone hopes to get to know, not to mention the title of "the most beautiful woman in the Kingdom of France".

However, due to the limited length of the dining table, only the gentlemen and ladies with the highest status had the opportunity to dine at the same table with the Marquis. The others could only look at him from afar during the welcome ceremony.

Of course, the banquet will not just be a meal, but Marquis Stewart will not participate in the later activities. His status is really different.

For thousands of years, the most famous women are undoubtedly the Elf Queen and the Pope of the Elf Goddess Church, followed by the occasional female popes and legendary and master level professionals in various churches.

Within the scope of the aristocracy, there must be Emperor Alexeevna of the Slavic Empire, and then there is the Marquis of Stewart. After all, with the aristocrats' attitude of giving birth as they can, there will be no shortage of male heirs for the big aristocrats in the field.

At this moment, Christine was invited to the quiet room, and was accompanied by the Count and Lady of Bordeaux to taste the wine.

As the most famous wine producing area in the Kingdom of France, the Count of Bordeaux brought out the family's top collection, which is a treatment that even the king does not have. It's normal, after all, the king has only reigned for a few decades, and the Marquis of Stuart can rule Brittany for hundreds of years.

Of course, the wine tasting was only a formality. The most important thing was that the Count of Bordeaux had something to discuss with Christine.

Opening the continent map, you can clearly see that the Bay of Biscay is a U-shaped sea that opens in the west, and the Brittany Peninsula and the Count of Carona are at both ends of the opening. The shortest straight line between two points is that any ship must supply supplies in Christine's territory unless it needs to stop at a port in the Bay of Biscay.

To put it simply, one-third of the sea-going ships on the continent need to dock in Christian's territory for supplies, and the sailors on them need to spend money at the port. The top three ports in the continent are the Port of Rotterdam, the Port of Dominaria, and the Port of Naples, and the top ten ports also include the Port of Carona.

The wine of the Count of Bordeaux is famous far and wide, and its chamber of commerce has made a lot of money relying on the city of Dominaria. Now that the big boss of the "platform" is here, he must further strengthen cooperation while providing hospitality.

The most important thing is that the Count of Bordeaux needs to buy grain from Christine.

Like the Burgundy Territory of the Iberian Kingdom, the Bordeaux Territory usually only needs to sell a bottle of high-end wine to buy back several carts of grain, so growing grapes is more suitable than growing grain. But after the disaster, no one sells food, and no matter how high-end the wine is, it cannot be used as food. If Christine hadn't kindly provided some support last year, a large number of people would have died in the Bordeaux Territory.

Even if the Count of Bordeaux wanted to switch to growing grain, it would not be as simple as leveling the vineyards. Where would the seeds come from, and where would the farm tools come from, so this year he would have to continue to purchase grain from Stewart.

The talks went smoothly and the two sides renewed the agreement to exchange wine for grain. The good news for the Count of Bordeaux is that there is enough stock in the cellar, the bad news is that there is enough for this year, and most of it is sold for the price of water.

Among the five top wine producing areas in the mainland, Elf Island is an ally, the Tuscany production area of ​​the Apennine Kingdom was destroyed by the devil, and Bordeaux and Burgundy were indirectly controlled by Christine.

Although all noble territories have their own wine brewing workshops, if a banquet is held, wine of corresponding specifications must be used. There is no room for negotiation unless the family reputation is not wanted.

If you want to buy high-end wine, come to Dominaria City. And for businessmen, can they really go in empty-handed? Why don't you bring something to sell along the way? Even during the demonic disaster, huge wealth was visible to the naked eye.

The money earned was invested by Christine in the construction of the demiplane. The originally abandoned town has been rebuilt and named Tolaria. More and more stone golems are being created to build workshops and cultivate fields, while intelligent metal golems are also being created to take on guard duties.

.

Because she was going to fight on the front line, Christine was traveling with only fifty guards and less than a hundred maids, cooks, servants, etc.

After leaving the city of Bordeaux, the troops were divided into two groups. Savannah led half of the cavalry and servants to the town of Peldrade in Aquitaine County, and Christine and Carlottani led the remaining people to Billy. Toulouse, County Niuse. Although Savannah doesn't need anyone to take care of her at all, she still has to show off her master-level pomp when she goes out.

Coupled with the master-level deputy captain of the "Carolingian Knights" stationed in Languedoc County, it is ensured that each county has a master-level team to lead the team to intercept the demons that invade the north.

King Louis Capet was firmly opposed to Christine going to the battlefield in person, because she was too important and could not explain to all parties if something unexpected happened.

For the Kingdom of France, if a marquis died in battle, other countries would laugh at him for hundreds of years, and King Louis would also be laughed at for hundreds of years.

For the Church of the Dragon God, Christine is a dragon blood descendant who has made great contributions. She has single-handedly expanded the Great Dragon God's belief area several times. Who can maintain this situation if something unexpected happens.

For the elves, Christine is the biggest partner, expanding the belief in the Elf Goddess and bringing huge trade benefits to the elves.

What makes King Louis even more depressed is that the Dragon Clan also hopes that he can persuade Christine not to take risks. But the problem is that if you, the Dragon Clan, can't persuade you, how can I, the king, persuade you?

Christine's unified answer to the outside world was: In order to better train herself and better contribute to the great cause of fighting against demons, she decided to follow her ancestors to the battlefield.

In the mainland, strength is respected. In order to pursue strong power, some people give up their beliefs, rights, and wealth. Therefore, although Christine's behavior is extremely dangerous, it is in line with mainstream thinking. After all, she is a noble and a seventh-century girl. Level mage (on the surface).

Participating in the battle against demons gave her a reputation as a righteous person. If she really achieved certain results and escaped unscathed, she would gain a huge reputation.

Of course, in order to reassure everyone, Kristen also said that she was fully prepared and was inseparable from the "ancestor master".

Then again, what can others do about what Kristen has decided.
