Alexia did not come to greet Jenkins because she is not in the city now. Dolores told Jenkins that Alexia left the city on Saturday and set off for the mountainous area south of Loen to search for some special ores. To come back, so Dolores received Jenkins the whole way today.
Of course, Jenkins regrets not being able to see Alexia, but he will stay here for a week, and the two will have plenty of time alone.
Her Royal Highness is very well dressed today, as Jenkins noticed when he got into the car. She was wearing a very formal light blue puffy dress as if she was going to a solemn ball. The waist is very slender, and for some reason, a pannier is specially added underneath. Although the chest is not exposed, it is woven with intricate lace. The lace stretched all the way to her shoulders, and joined with the little red cloak she was wearing.
"Are you going to the dance?"
Jenkins still expressed his doubts.
"No, it's just my everyday look."
The young girl blushed, and before she could muster up the courage to ask "what do you think?" Jenkins offered to compliment the dress and her outfit, emphasizing her soft and beautiful hair, and her The small diamond-encrusted silver tiara is very matching.
Dolores tried her best to maintain her solemn and elegant expression, but the smile on her face betrayed her inner feelings at this moment. Julia on the side couldn't help but wanted to cover her face, and at the same time, she was a little surprised how the young man sitting opposite had grown from being as clumsy as a stone to his current level in half a year.
I spent the whole morning in contact with Nolan, and it was already noon when I got into Dolores' carriage. The first step of the itinerary is to go to lunch, so the cat has a premonition that this week's travel will be very interesting.
Naturally, Dolores would not take Jenkins to a restaurant in the city for dinner. She has her own manor in Loen, where there are specially hired chefs and elegant tableware.
Jenkins enjoyed a very pleasant lunch and secured a place at the estate for his lodging for the next few days.
Julia, the head maid, chose a room for him with a great view and close to the stairs and the servants' lounge. Just judging from the location and area, this bedroom is not like a guest room, but should be the master bedroom.
After confirming that the servants put the luggage in the closet, Jenkins shook his nose indecently, sniffed the room twice, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, but finally did not raise this question.
Even though he has been to Loen many times, there should be many interesting places in this strange and familiar northern country waiting for Jenkins to explore. After having lunch and resting for a while, the group set off for the outside of the city.
Dolores was financially prodigious, owning her own horse farm, estate, plantation and farmstead outside the city, and her siblings all had similar fixed assets, which was commonplace for a royal family.
This time the destination is Dolores's plantation. She heard about the "greenhouse farming technology" from Jenkins during the winter. Although the latter has only heard about these technologies, and can only tell the general principle that there are many loopholes, Her Royal Highness has sufficient manpower and material resources to experiment with this idea.
She succeeded at least in part, and a small field of flowers survived the winter without incident, so Dolores wanted to invite Jenkins to visit.
"It was originally planned to invite you to the 'Byron Opera House'. The train journey is very tiring, and our first stop should be easier. But the Opera House is temporarily repairing in order to meet the first day of the Ice and Snow Festival tomorrow. I received the news By the time, it was already too late..."
When the three got out of the car and walked into the greenhouse of the plantation, Dolores apologized for her negligence, but Jenkins didn't care about it. After all, he slept most of the time when he listened to the opera, and he didn't feel tired .
"Such an arrangement is very good. Aren't we going to another opera house in the evening? Actually, I have always admired Hampawo's traditional operas. This will definitely be very interesting."
In the only successful greenhouse, all tulips were planted. Although Loen is located in the southern part of the Kingdom, this area is actually not suitable for planting this kind of flower no matter what season it is, so it is indeed a small miracle to be able to successfully feed this flower field in winter.
But Jenkins soon discovered how this miracle happened. Immediately after he entered the greenhouse, he felt that the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor was at least 10 degrees. In terms of the wall materials of the greenhouse, it is impossible to achieve such insulation. So Jenkins glanced casually with the [Eye of Reality], and then saw a large number of ritual formations on the walls and the translucent colored glass ceiling.
These ceremonies include incantation ceremonies and divine arts ceremonies. Although they are relatively basic, there are so many of them that it is not easy to complete them. Considering the cost of materials needed for arranging the ceremony, the design of the ceremony, and the bearing capacity of the walls, I am afraid that the actual value of each surviving tulip in the greenhouse can exceed 10 pounds.
"It's nice to have money."
Jenkins confirmed this again.
Dolores planted these flowers simply out of curiosity and nothing to do in winter, not to make a profit. Now that spring is here, as the weather gets warmer, the value of these flowers will continue to decrease.
But Her Royal Highness doesn't care about this, she plans to give these tulips as gifts to her friends during the Ice and Snow Festival.
"Yes, His Highness also has friends... Although not many, and most of them may have other purposes, but as His Highness, it is unrealistic to find friends who have no purpose at all."
While Dolores bent over to look at the flowers that were worth the price of gold, Julia explained to Jenkins in a low voice.
"The last time you came to rescue His Highness, some of the ladies trapped in the room were His Highness's friends. If not, His Highness would not have attended that boring salon."
Julia hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Dolores had no objection, she continued:
"Some of them have been inquiring about your identity recently, yes, your identity at that time..."
Needless to say, among the girls who were "saved" by Jenkins, some of them must have read court novels and read them madly, and they would definitely yearn for the plot of "the hero saves the beauty" in their hearts. It wasn't surprising, but Jenkins wasn't interested in those girls, and even if he were, nothing would happen, after all, he couldn't recreate what he looked like that day.
PS: The author is not very familiar with tulip planting and greenhouse technology. If there are bugs in the description, it can be understood that Dolores solved all technical problems by relying on her extraordinary ability.
