"Ten gold coins?" Archduke John was stunned, then frowned and asked, "What is so expensive??"
The young man quickly explained: "We have someone to take photos for you, and the photos will be the ones you saw on the menu just now. They are exactly the same as the real ones. We can make them as big as this for you..."
He gestured to a size of about A4, and then continued: "You can hang it at home to record your wonderful travel experience."
Originally, Archduke John thought that ten gold coins was a bit expensive, but when he heard that it was as clear as the menu he just saw, he was moved again.
Finally he nodded and said, "Okay, give me the money!"
His butler took out ten gold coins. The young man took it and did not leave. Instead, he also pulled the bell. Soon another young man came. After the two exchanged for a while, the young man left and called A man from Tang Dynasty came.
Grand Duke John did not expect that there were people from the Tang Dynasty here, so he curiously asked the young people around him.
"This thing called taking pictures is only available in the Tang Dynasty. Our hotel was opened by the Earl and a Tang noble." The young man explained, and the Tang Dynasty man who came smiled and said to the young man A gesture.
The young man said to Archduke John: "He is ready. Sir, you can assume the most handsome or majestic posture you think."
"He can record any posture I take? Will it take a long time?" Archduke John asked. His waist is not that good, and sitting in some postures for a long time is very tiring.
"It won't take long, it'll be fine in the blink of an eye."
Archduke John didn't believe it, but he still picked up a glass goblet and made a gesture that he thought was handsome.
"Sir, it's best if you look at him and smile!"
The young man reminded, Archduke John did so, and then heard a click.
The Tang Dynasty man opposite put down the strange thing in his hand.
"That's it??" If he hadn't seen too much of the magic of this hotel, Archduke John would have felt that he was playing a trick on himself.
"It's ready." Following the young man's words, the Tang man came over and showed himself the black thing that was facing him just now.
Archduke John was surprised to find that the way he was holding the cup just now was actually on it.
"My lord, you only have to wait one night. You can ask your servant to go to the front desk to pick up the photos tomorrow morning."
After finishing speaking, the young man bowed and said: "If there is nothing else, we will not disturb the adults' meal."
Archduke John looked at the food in front of him and thought about what had just happened, and he felt more and more mysterious about this hotel.
Needless to say, the food is much better than what I usually eat.
If he didn't have to leave here to meet the king in the capital, this food alone would allow him to continue living here.
After lunch, Archduke John's steward came to report that Fabialo was here and wanted to see him.
Archduke John also wanted to meet Fabiello. He had too many things to ask Fabiello.
"Archduke John, what an honor to meet you."
"Fabialo, no need to be polite, your hotel is really amazing."
Then Archduke John couldn't wait to ask all the questions he had today.
"Is there a glass mirror in the toilet? Made of glass?"
"Is the toilet smelling so good after using perfume?"
"The reason why the bed is hot is because there is a kang underneath?"
Although Fabialo basically gave answers to the things he was curious about, there were still many things he didn't understand, so he was too embarrassed to ask again.
"Your Majesty, if you are free, I can take you to visit this hotel." Fabialo extended the invitation.
Archduke John was already very curious, so of course he readily agreed.
So Fabialo took him around the hotel.
It was only when Archduke John turned around that he realized how big it was.
Suites are based on title.
The Royal Suite is even more luxurious than the Duke's Suite.
The Marquis Suite was a little worse, for example, there was no glass mirror in the toilet.
The Earl's Suite was even worse and didn't have that magic menu.
Archduke John not only did not feel it was unfair, but felt that it was natural.
Those marquises and counts are here. Even if they are rich, why can they enjoy the same enjoyment as a duke?
In addition to these suites, there are also many public activity areas, including casinos, bars, and hairdressing and beauty salons.
"What about haircuts and beautification?" Archduke John asked curiously.
Fabialo explained to him: "The barbers here are all trained. They can trim your beard and hair to make you look more energetic and handsome."
Archduke John looked at Fabiello's beautifully trimmed beard and hair, and said with some excitement: "No wonder when I saw Fabiello today, I felt something was different from last time!"
"Do you want to give it a try, Grand Duke?" Fabialo invited.
Archduke John looked at Fabiaro and felt that his hair and beard were indeed well-groomed, so he nodded.
Half an hour later, after washing his hair and having a head massage, Archduke John walked out of the hair salon feeling refreshed.
"Yes, I do feel that people are a lot more energetic. Where is the beauty room next to it?"
"That's for noble ladies. It's mainly used for aromatherapy and beauty. There are also some beauty products in it."
Hearing that it was used by noble ladies, Archduke John was not interested. Then he looked at the empty lawn in front and asked, "Why is this place vacant? Is there anything else to be repaired?"
"No, this is a football field."
"football field?"
"Yes, this stadium can hold football matches, and adults can send their own servants to participate." Fabialo said with a confident smile: "I can guarantee that football is really the most charming sport in the world, bar none. "
After a tour, Archduke John's eyes were opened.
"Fabiallo, did the noble of the Tang Dynasty teach you all of this?" Archduke John asked.
He didn't believe that Fabialo could think of so many good ideas and come up with so many good things at once. If Fabialo had such ability, he wouldn't have to wait until today.
"No!" Fabialo nodded without concealment and said: "It is true that we did these businesses together with a Tang noble. He is the Duke from the Tang Empire, Mr. Tang."
"Datang? Tang?"
Archduke John was still very unfamiliar with the Tang Dynasty.
"More than half a year ago, those Arab pirates were wiped out by Mr. Tang's men." Fabialo introduced Tang Ping's glorious deeds.
"What? Did his people do it?" Not many people knew about this matter yet. Everyone just discovered that the Arab pirates who had been rampant for a while had disappeared.
But I don't know who did it.
Now there is a new group of pirates called Vikings.
But those pirates are said to be pirates rather than bodyguards at sea.
Because as long as you pay them a fee, they will give you a flag. As long as your merchant ship flies the Viking flag, they will not only not cause trouble for you, but will also extend it to you when you encounter trouble. Helping hand.
If you get robbed by other pirates, they can even help you get it back.
"In fact, Damascus, the capital of the Arab Empire, was also attacked by Master Tang." Fabialo dropped another bombshell: "The reason why the Arab Empire declared war on the Arab Empire was because the Arab Empire massacred 500 members of his caravan. ."
"What? Just because of the 500 people in the caravan, he led the Tang army to destroy the Arab Empire, which was at its peak?"
Archduke John looked incomprehensible. Wasn't it just five hundred people? How much is it worth in total? Just because of this, the Arab Empire was destroyed?
Fabialo smiled proudly and said, "I didn't understand it at first, but it's actually very reassuring to make friends with people like Mr. Tang, isn't it?"
Archduke John nodded with deep understanding.
It is undoubtedly very dangerous to be an enemy with someone like Tang Ping, but as Fabialo said, being friends with him can be quite reassuring.
Since he could declare war on another powerful empire for his caravan, he would naturally have nothing to say to his friends.
"And the new King of Wessex is actually Don's friend. The departure of the previous King Egbert was also facilitated by Lord Don."
"Ah? So that's it!" European nobles also like to eat melons.
There are different opinions as to why Egbert left Wessex at the height of his popularity.
There are countless large melons of all kinds, but none of them stay ripe.
Today, Archduke John finally had a good meal that was guaranteed to be ripe.
"Tell me in detail!" He pulled Fabialo and sat in a pavilion. Immediately, someone brought two stoves and put them down, and then brought two cups of hot tea.
"Fabialo, you really have thought of everything here. I'm at home... No, even if our King is in the palace, I'm afraid he won't have such a good experience!"
Fabialo shook his head modestly and said: "These employees... we call the civilians working here employees. The training of these employees was also done by Mr. Tang. He is really a very amazing businessman."
Then he told Archduke John what he knew about how Tang Ping brought the Vikings with him and the terms he negotiated with Egbert.
After hearing this, Archduke John still felt that he was still unsatisfied and asked Fabialo: "Isn't this Grand Duke of Tang in Porto?"
"Yes." Fabialo nodded and said, "The fashion flagship store we opened together will open in a week, and Grand Duke Tang has gone to transport the last batch of goods."
Having said this, Fabialo bowed slightly to Archduke John with gratitude and said: "I originally thought that the Archduke was not free to come, but I didn't expect that you actually came after receiving my invitation letter."
"Today's employees didn't know your identity at first. I will ask them to refund the cost of the Grand Duke's stay in our hotel this time to the Grand Duke's housekeeper."
"Invitation letter..." Archduke John muttered in his heart, and then he understood. He was afraid that his butler knew that he was going to the capital at this time, so he didn't show it to him when he saw the invitation letter.
Huh, there are really no rules. If I hadn't come here by mistake, wouldn't I have missed a lot of wonderful things?
"Hahahaha!" he was thinking in his heart, but Archduke John's face was full of smiles: "Fabialo, when I come to your place, I can't live and eat for free, right? I don't need to refund the room fee or anything else. , if you are really interested..."
Archduke John said with some embarrassment: "Just give me the toilet mirror!"
After he finished speaking, he blushed slightly and even asked for things from other people's toilets.
But he really liked that mirror.
Fabialo didn't expect Archduke John to make such a request. He was stunned for a moment and then said immediately: "Of course there is no problem, but Archduke... In fact, our fashion flagship store will also have mirrors for sale in seven days. Why don't you let me give you one?" How about something better?”
"Okay!" Archduke John heard that there was something better, and there was nothing he didn't want to do. The smile on his face became brighter: "Fabiaro, you are very good! Don't worry, I will definitely be there when I go to the capital this time. You are highly recommended before the king and other princes."
This was originally Fabialo's purpose. When he heard Archduke John say this, although he was modest, he also asked people to give Archduke John a lot of things.
These included a stack of toilet paper and a bar of soap.
The two were chatting happily, when a hotel employee came over, holding a photo frame in his hand. The photo taken by Archduke John just now had been typed by Datang employees sent here by Tang Ping.
This thing can be printed out in a few minutes. Tang Ping specially connected a solar power generation panel behind the hotel, and some small electrical appliances can be used.
Saying that it takes a day just makes everyone think that it is not that easy to make something.
Fabialo took the photo frame and handed it to Archduke John: "I just found out that this is yours, Grand Duke, so I asked them to hurry up and get it done."
After Archduke John took it over, he really felt that the painting was just like what he saw in the mirror.
The only regret is that this was before I trimmed my hair and beard.
But it doesn't matter. Such a painting only costs ten gold coins, which is more expensive than hiring a palace painter to paint it, but it feels more worthwhile.
Just spend money to draw one next time. He is already very embarrassed to have eaten and taken here today.
"How many people have come to your fashion flagship store?" Archduke John asked.
Fabialo said with some embarrassment: "Perhaps everyone has been slower recently. Apart from the Grand Duke, there are only a few... nearby barons and viscounts."
After all, Fabialo was a lord from a remote area with limited influence. Although he had some success at the last auction, there was no follow-up.
And just because he had been so famous, many nobles at the same level as him did not want to see him. Therefore, many invitations were sent out this time, but very few people were invited to participate.
"Humph, these ignorant things!" Archduke John thought for a moment and said, "In this case, can you postpone your opening date? After I go to the capital, not only will I help you invite other grand dukes, but also His Majesty the King. Please come."
"Really?" Fabialo said with surprise on his face: "If you can, then I'll trouble Archduke John."
