Rare means nobility.

This is why the guard uniforms are purple.

It's just a dark purple and black color, which looks more stable.

In fact, another reason is that the cost of this dark purple is relatively low.

Compared with such expensive dyeing costs, even if Faralinburg is economically developed, large-scale manufacturing requires finding ways to save money.

After a preliminary understanding, Martin came to this field where cochineworms were raised.

I originally wanted to discuss with the owner of the dye shop, a viscount, to see if I could find a way to buy a carmine formula.

After learning about other pigments, Martin focused on this natural pigment.

The production process of Royal Purple is not kept confidential, but according to the rules, only the royal family can use it.

Once ordinary people use it, they are suspected of being usurped.

Of course, even if it can be used, Martin doesn't want to use it.

And emerald green is poisonous!

After visiting the production process, Martin suspected that this was a pigment formed from some heavy metal solution.

The best evidence is the health of workers.

Workers who blew and dyed emerald green cloth had long been recorded in death from poisoning!

On that day, Martin asked the Count to shut down the relevant dye factory directly.

As for carmine, Martin found that it was a relatively safe dye after investigation.

The one who masters the method of making pigments is a Viscount of Faralin.

Martin originally wanted to contact this Viscount to see if he could buy out the business and make improvements by himself, or cooperate in some way.

However, this viscount is said to have gone back to Coretta two months ago and cannot be contacted in a short time.

So Martin came to this field where cactus was planted yesterday and met Dutch.

This young man was the leader among this group of child laborers and was quite familiar with the process of making dyes. Martin learned from him the process of extracting dyes.

Moreover, this young man has a keen observation ability and has some experience in how to cultivate cochineal insects.

So, Martin wanted to ask him to plant cactus and extract the carmine dye...

But why is the Fourth Princess here?

As if seeing Martin’s doubts, Karan explained: “The princess is very curious about the production process of carmine, so come and take a look.”

Dutch and a few kids glanced at Sophia.

They all heard that this lady turned out to be the Fourth Princess!

That is a real princess, her identity is even more noble than that of the count!

Their young minds had no clear concept of such an identity. The top nobles they could come into contact with were the four earls of Faralin.

But even the four counts were just a relatively vague concept, and they only knew that they controlled the entire Faralinburg, with great power and extremely noble.

Sofia asked with a smile at Dutch, "Can I satisfy my curiosity now?"

After knowing the lady's identity, Dutch became even more restrained.

But in the face of Princess Sophia's question, he did not dare to be negligent at all. He scratched his head and quickly pointed in a certain direction in the woods.

There you can see a row of simple houses there.

"That... the dyeing shop is there. If you want to go in, you need Uncle Keen's consent. We are collecting insects and are not allowed to go in... But the princess's words are definitely fine!"

Sofia put her tender white fingers beside her mouth and whispered: "My identity must be kept confidential, don't tell others that I am a princess!"

Hearing these words that seemed to be coaxing a child, Martin looked at Mr. Karan unnaturally.

Why does this princess speak and do things like a young girl?

She is obviously in her thirties!

Karan calmly, with a look of disgust, and did not want to respond to Martin, but reminded Sophia: "Your Highness, the workshop is very..."

Before Karan finished speaking, Sophia made another move to silence: "Shh! Don't call me princess, just call me Sophia, there are no four princesses now."

Sophia seemed to remember something, pouted, shook her head slightly, looking a little lost.

Martin immediately understood what she thought and expressed his understanding.

Now, the throne dispute has not yet been determined, but whether it is the eldest prince or the fifth prince ascends the throne, Sophia is no longer the king's daughter.

Although the outside world still calls her and the second princess the princess...

"The workshop is very messy and the smell is very strong. I suggest you don't visit it. If you want to understand the process, Darqi can tell you the specific steps."

Martin didn't want women like Sophia to go to such dirty and messy places, and also agreed with Karan's words and persuaded.

"Is that OK?" Sophia looked at the boy.

Daqi nodded, opened the cloth bag around her waist, grabbed a handful of bugs, and began to tell Sophia.

Facing His Highness the Princess, even if he accidentally hurts some insects and causes losses, he doesn't care.

...

When Sophia listened with relish and kept asking questions to the boy, Martin and Karan walked to the side and started talking in a low voice.

"Mr. Karan, what's going on with His Highness, His Royal Highness? Why did you come to Faralin Castle?" Martin asked with a frown slightly.

Karan sighed: "It's a long story... Sophia's mother is my friend. Her sequence is quite unique and can measure the astronomical phenomena."

Martin nodded slightly, and he figured it out.

When Karan went to Coretta, he went to find an astronomical enthusiast to determine the specific date of a certain astronomical phenomenon.

But I didn’t expect that this astronomy enthusiast would be a queen!

"But her mother died last month. When I arrived in Coretta, I only had time to see her for the last time."

Karan's expression was a little sad, and he continued:

"She is not in power among several queens. She is worried that Sophia will be excluded after death. I promised her that she will take good care of Sophia."

"Before Tesa launched a coup, I found some signs, so I took her away from the right and wrong place of power disputes in advance."

"In addition, the task of helping me calculate the astronomical phenomena also fell on this princess' head."

Martin couldn't help but glance at Sofia, who looked like a girl, and always felt that it was a bit unreliable.

Almost every country has several queens, and palace dramas are also performed all year round.

Karan obviously saw this and sighed slightly: "Anyway, she should stay in Faralin for a while before making plans after the situation stabilizes."

"She is also an extraordinary person?" Martin actually felt that Sophia was an extraordinary person.

The reason for asking this is because the three princes have inherited the royal bloodline. Logically speaking, the two princesses should have the same sequence as theirs.

But in Sofia, Martin felt a completely different fluctuation from Vita.

Karan nodded: "Sophia is quite special. She inherited the sequence of her mother, but the royal bloodline has affected her, resulting in her sequence being more unique. Strictly speaking, her power should be unique in this world."

Karan did not disclose specific information, it sounded a bit mysterious.

Martin thought of the astronomical telescope...

Half an hour later, the luxurious convoy left the Oak Woods.

Dutch also left with Martin and went to a field east of Faralin City to confirm whether it was suitable for cactus planting there.

As for the child laborers with Ducky, Martin will hire them if they are ready to build cactus.

At least under Martin, they will be treated better and they can even spare some time to learn knowledge.

After all, a child who is only so old has strong plasticity. If China and Japan are subjected to heavy labor value, it will definitely be a waste.

...

The next morning, as soon as Martin walked into the lounge, he saw the captain frowning and holding a file in his hand.

The other teammates were also a little worried and were thinking about something.

After saying hello to his teammates, Martin sat in his seat.

"Martin, why are you late today? This is not your style."

Ald looked up at Martin, and he was the one who was the one who was the most late.

"I met a friend, chatted for a few words, and it took a little time." Martin explained, then pointed to the file in the captain's hand and asked, "What kind of case is it? Is it very troublesome?"

Ald nodded and sighed, "It's really troublesome!"

"Martin, you can take a look, maybe you can find a way." Mike slid over on the table, with just the right strength, and stopped steadily in front of Martin.

Martin was not surprised by this method. He nodded slightly, then picked up the document and read it quickly.

As soon as his eyes swept across the first line, Martin discovered one of the names that looked very familiar.
