"Soap?" she picked up a piece and put it to her nose and sniffed it, and she could indeed smell the roses.

"Yes, it's hard to imagine that it was a sticky paste before it was made, and in order to fill it with fragrance, His Highness added perfume to it. ”

Mei Yi subconsciously glanced at the price on the paper, the price of twenty-five silver wolves per piece can be regarded as a luxury, but compared to more expensive perfumes, this price is obviously too low, "Are you sure you add perfume?" When I performed in the royal capital, a big nobleman gave me three bottles, each bottle of perfume was only the size of a thumb, but the price was more than five golden dragons. With such a large piece of soap, you have to add at least half a bottle, right?"

"Really?" Carter was stunned, "Perfume is so expensive?"

"Of course," Mei Yi gave him a blank look, "it's one of the most proud products of the Royal Capital Alchemy Association, and it is the best selling perfume besides crystal glass." I heard that in addition to the tribute to the royal family, there are nearly 1,000 bottles of perfume that can flow to the market every year. The people who could afford it were the upper class aristocrats and the wealthy merchants, and I would never have paid for a bottle of perfume for several plays if it weren't for someone giving it away. ”

"But I don't think His Highness uses any rare materials when making perfumes...... Listen to him, it seems to be made of sugar cane?" Carter added, seeing May's puzzled look, "Sugar cane is a sweet bar, a crop from the fjord, which looks like a stick and fills its mouth with sweet water. At the moment, only the castle backyard is being planted, and next time I will ask His Highness if I can bring one out. ”

His Royal Highness the Prince again...... When May came to town, the name Roland Wimbledon was heard the most. Both Erin and Carter always mention him when talking about the changes in the town. It seems that His Highness knows everything, knows everything, and all these new things are created by him.

Is there really such a learned person in the world? She doubted that it would take time for a person to learn something new, no matter how smart he was. Whether it is the royal capital or the Changge Fortress, the recognized polymath is an old man with white hair. There is even a saying among the people of the Western Realm: the longer the beard, the wider the knowledge. The prince himself was only in his twenties, how could he know so much?

Thinking so in her heart, Mei Yi's face was still the same, "No need, 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 workshop, you must not inquire about His Highness, and even if you see it, you must never say it. ”

"All right," Carter replied, pulling out a handkerchief and filling it with four bars of soap.

"You're going to buy so much?"

"One person is limited to two pieces at most, let's pretend to buy them separately, and give them to you when we go out—don't disagree with them yet," the knight stretched out his hand to stop what May wanted to say, "I can still apply to His Highness when I run out of money, but if it is sold out here, I don't know when there will be new goods, you can use these four pieces for a long time." ”

Mei Yi looked at the other party's serious eyes, as if something burned her heart. With a long ...... She pursed her lips, stopped making a sound, and silently watched the knight wrap the soap.

"Since you're here, let's take a look at other products," he said with a smile as he picked up his cloth bag.

......

Back at home in the border town, it was already dark outside the window.

The glow of the curtain came through the window, staining the furnishings in the room a touch of orange and red.

Since staying here to perform the following plays, Maye has also been given the same room as Irene. It's not big, but it's all about it.

She placed the novelties she had bought from the convenience store on the table, along with four bars of soap and a bottle of wine.

This bottle is different from the common ale and wine in taverns, it has almost no color, and it is pure and transparent like water. I remember that the product introduction says that this is called liquor, and the concentration is high, so it is not advisable to drink more.

Baijiu, she smiled, and from the appearance of the name is really apt.

Pulling out the wooden stopper, Maye poured herself a glass. Raising her glass, a rushing smell hit her face, making her frown. But after the smell passed, a wisp of wine wafted into her nose, sweet and mellow, not at all like the taste of inferior watered wine in a tavern.

Due to the dedication and concentration required to act, she rarely goes to the tavern, and only after the success of the play does the theater celebrate her with two drinks. That feeling of being drunk is not bad, but she has witnessed the behavior of many actors who are drunk and gaffes, and she has always controlled her alcohol consumption within the range that does not affect her thinking.

However, Maye now has a strong urge to get drunk, otherwise she would not have bought this bottle of valuable liquor despite Carter's persuasion - I heard other actors say that when she is drunk, she can block out distractions and concerns, and when she sees the real answer in her heart, she wants to give it a try.

Mei closed her eyes, tilted her head and poured the wine in the cup into her mouth, and suddenly a hot feeling exploded in her throat, and the unswallowed wine squirted out directly, and the violent cough made her choke out tears.

Hell, is this really wine?

When the burning sensation had completely subsided, she bit her lip and tried again—this time, she only dared to take small bites, and after the heat, it was rich and mellow, and the two flavors were mixed together, not how good they were, but they gave her a strange feeling.

It was only half an hour before Maye felt a feeling of dizziness welling up in her heart.

She pulled out a fist-sized tin box from her pocket and opened the lid to see a bright mirror facing her. This mirror is different from the previous copper or silver mirrors, its surface is smooth and traceless, and the scene reflected is extremely clear, which must be very valuable. Through the mirror, Maye could see her reddish cheeks and confused eyes.

This was a gift from the chief knight at the time of separation, and she wanted to refuse, but the other party turned around and left, not giving her a chance to push it back at all. He walked away briskly, and waved goodbye to her. Seriously, Carter Lannis's appearance is definitely impeccable when he doesn't speak, but if he doesn't talk, he is unlikely to be retained.

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

May unfolded the letter that had been on the table for a few days, which had been forwarded to her by His Royal Highness the Prince through Irene, written by Perro, the keeper of the fortress. From the letter, she learned that the Fortress Theater had announced that her whereabouts were unknown, and that Perrot himself wanted her to return to the fortress to continue her performances.

His Royal Highness did not hide the news, he gave the choice to himself.

Maye drank the rest of the wine from her glass, her vision becoming hazy.

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

In the midst of her overlapping thoughts, she saw the fortress theater, Erin, Philin Hilter, the town square with a roar of cheers, and the third-rate actors who were so excited that they couldn't help themselves...... Eventually, all that faded into my mind was Carter Lannis's grinning invitation to her.

"Hello, Miss May, may I have a drink?"
