Chapter 3302 King Mesa’s Garden (11)

Bersier sent Georgiana and Paulina to Lausanne and returned after handing over to the Chasseurs waiting here. The Chasseur Captain Delet is now responsible for their safety.

They did not live in the city, but on a hill outside Lausanne, where there was a manor, or military camp, belonging to Archduke Karl. It was surrounded by forests, with only one road to enter and exit, and there was a watchtower in the manor.

From a certain perspective, this is the place where you can see the most beautiful scenery of the Alps, but the girls unanimously feel that it is more comfortable to live by the lake.

There is an artificial lake in the manor. From a strategic point of view, with it, there is no need to worry about drinking water after being besieged.

"How long are we going to stay here?" Polina asked Georgiana, and judging from her expression, she didn't want to stay any longer.

"Let's wait until the snow melts on the road," Georgiana said uncertainly.

"How long will it take?" Polina asked immediately angrily.

"I don't think it's necessary, ladies." Captain Delight said with a smile. "We can go through the trade route."

"Where?" Georgiana asked immediately.

Delete asked a chasseur to find the map, then spread it out and explained it to the ladies.

Geneva and Lausanne are both located on a crescent-shaped lake. At the other end of the "crescent" is the pass of the ancient trade road. Cities such as Zurich and Basel are so prosperous because they are located on the trade road.

Go south along the Rhône Valley to Maldigny, and after going around a mountain, you will reach Bovinier. It was very prosperous in the Middle Ages. Even though the Champagne market has declined, they are also famous for their dairy products.

Further east is Samblanche, a city that dates back to ancient Roman times and is an important "crossroads" in the Alps.

"But there's only one way here," Katharina said.

"There were some in the past, but they were washed away by mudslides." Captain Delete said, and drew on the map again.

After arriving at Samblanche, you will encounter a small river that is not navigable. Follow the river upstream and you will reach Lied. This small village is very close to the St. Bernard Pass. Going further forward is Fort St. Pierre. Here There is a monastery. After passing the monastery, you officially enter the mountain.

"What's the weather like these days? Is it safe to go into the mountains?" Georgiana asked.

"It will be a little slippery going down the mountain, just control it," Captain Delete said.

Georgiana wanted to put down some of her luggage to avoid slipping on the road, but Polina yawned.

"After we go down the mountain, we will go to St. Leonard, where there is an underground lake." Captain Delet said quickly.

"I want to take a hot spring bath. Where can I get one?" Polina asked.

"I know a spring, but no sanatorium."

"There are not many people going, right?"

"Yes," Captain Delight replied.

"That's it, where are you?" Polina asked the others.

Who dares to have an opinion? Of course it’s all agreed upon.

After passing Aosta, we are halfway through the journey. Walk along the Dolabella Valley until you reach Ifreya. Going west is Turin and going east is Milan.

"How many days will it take?" Katharina asked impatiently.

"As soon as possible, about a week." Delete said.

"We are not marching for a war. Besides, it is not bad to see the scenery along the way." Georgiana comforted.

Katharina stopped complaining now.

Polina kept asking about Delete Hot Springs, and she didn't want to stay in this manor anymore.

Georgiana looked around for Delmid, who was playing alone by the water. She somehow remembered King Ludwig of Bavaria and hurriedly took him away from the pond.

"Where's the nanny?" she asked the Chasseurs around her angrily.

"Go get the clothes." said one of the Chasseurs, looking at Georgiana and Delmid with a very strange look.

Feeling very uncomfortable, she carried Delmid back to where the adults were talking.

At this time, she hoped that Mullah's son would show up, even if they always fight when they meet.

In the end, they stayed at Archduke Karl's manor for two days before leaving. However, when they entered the mountain, they found that the road was entirely paved with wooden tracks.

"That's Mont Blanc over there." Delet pointed to the peak not far away and said, "It was built by the Annecy people over there."

Although it is not a railway track, walking on such a wooden track is still much more stable than walking on the post road before. They stopped at Mardigny on the first day in the mountains, and on the second day they went around the Bovinier Gorge, where there was a magnificent waterfall.

When she saw the scenery of Valais and recalled that Bonaparte said that no one in Europe could stop him from taking Valais, she understood that this fate was probably inevitable.

For him, Valais is more than just a road.

The snow in the valley has melted, but there are still many places where the snow has not melted. The melted snow water has gathered into a rushing river, which looks freezing cold.

Then she discovered that the natural scenery here was very similar to that of XZ. The difference was the Alpine cabins and Tibetan tents, and they also raised a dog called Bernese Mountain. It was not as ferocious as the Tibetan Mastiff and could herd sheep. It can also carry things, and it is also a search and rescue dog.

St. Bernard is considered the guardian of the mountains and the St. Bernard dogs are named for the area, although legend has it that they were brought here by the ancient Romans. There will be a brandy barrel tied around their necks, which can temporarily warm a frozen person.

Originally, she was thinking about reading in the car, but now her mind is filled with the hug in the cave when she went to XZ. As students of the great fire magician, the two of them did not know how to use fire magic. Don't dare to light a fire to keep warm.

They had Swiss hotpot in Samblanche. Even though they were all girls who loved beauty, no one was on a diet at this time because it was too cold in the mountains.

They spent the night in a place called Ossiere, and Delete took them to a nearby mountain where there was a spring.

To say it is "purely natural" is to put it mildly. Before they went to the hot springs, the hunting cavalry drove away all the nearby animals. The only advantage was that they could soak in the hot springs that smelled of sulfur while looking at the scenery.

Katharina brought wine and cheese. She was very happy at first, but she got high that night.

Fortunately, her reaction was not serious and she recovered after two days of rest. During this period, Polina and Georgiana went to the hot spring to take a bath again. They did not let the Chasseurs drive the animals away.

This is their place originally, and they only disturbed it when they came. Besides, they didn't come close. They didn't go to the hot spring until they left.

During their stay, another letter came from Paris:

The British regard the Mediterranean as their lake, and the new changes in the situation in Europe force me to seriously consider our situation. If the king is really crazy and wants to go to war at all costs, I will withdraw that proposal.

I am in excellent health. I can ride on horseback or in a carriage. If war breaks out between England and France, I will need Murat. They all thought that I had disarmament and no army, but they didn’t know that the army recruitment office was full every day. If you want him to be nice to the British, then be nice to him. If they want to fight a trade war, I will fight a trade war with them, and the same goes for other wars. It's time to close the port of Porto, hopefully this little lesson will calm them down.

Georgiana looked at the heart-wrenching letter, and she didn't know what was going on outside.

Just like the residents in this mountain, they live the same life for thousands of years, but they are peaceful and peaceful.

So she picked up her pen and wrote helplessly.

My health is also very good. I have been soaking in hot springs for the past two days. It is not a hot spring bath, but a natural spring. There are many small animals who will take a bath after we leave.

Katharina is feeling a little unwell. Please tell her husband not to worry, but that he should not let her drink alcohol while soaking in the hot springs next time.

Last time you came to Valais, did you take a bath in a hot spring?

After writing the letter, she gave it to the messenger and drove to the St. Bernard Pass.
