It was the day when Sir Burchill was holding a reception. Olaf and Hagrid got up early and changed into a clean woolen gown after washing. This was made by Olaf at the tailor shop on Elizabeth Street the day before yesterday. come back.

　　 Hagrid and Olaf’s clothes cost 800 shillings of gold coins. According to the normal specifications, the lower body also wears silk stockings shipped from the Far East, which will make their legs look clean and beautiful.

　　 But Olaf was very resistant to wearing silk stockings. In the end, Hagrid also gave up the custom-made stockings. The two uncles and nephew ordered two ordinary trousers, tied the trousers well and stuffed them into the riding boots, which looked capable and good-looking and not rude.

Olaf and Hagrid checked each other and found that the clothes and hair were all clean and tidy, so they went to the countryside and sprayed the unusually expensive perfume that they bought together before custom-made clothes, and then they disembarked with ten Viking escorts. port.

　　 A guard in a cart near the port brought out the twelve tall and healthy horses Hagrid bought yesterday, and then the group rode a BMW horse and drove along the path to the north of Essex County.

Essex County is approximately 30 miles northeast of London. Olaf and his team rushed on horseback and arrived at the county town near noon. They saw the low and dilapidated ancient city wall and all kinds of Kind of housing.

After inquiring about Sir Burchill’s manor, Olaf and Hagrid found a large manor in front of a forest in the northern part of the county town. At this time, a dozen ornate carriages had been parked in the open space in front of the manor. Several servants are waiting.

　　 "Hello, sir!" A young servant greeted him and bowed his salute, and then asked, "I wonder if you are here for the reception?"

　　 "My master and master are Hagrid and Olaf, merchants from Iceland, and it was Sir Burchill who invited my master and master to come..."

　　 An Icelander stepped forward to negotiate in English, and the servant hurriedly bowed and said, "Then please come in, Master Hagrid and Master Olaf. The reception will begin at 12 noon!"

After Hagrid and Olaf dismounted, they would take ten guards into the manor, but the servant stopped the people again and asked them to take off their swords and let them keep them. Hagrid waved his hand without hesitation and waited for the weapon. The servants handed over to the manor walked into the manor from the main entrance, into the back garden and the hall connecting the garden.

　　 At this time, the hall and garden are already full of long tables. On the table are cakes, sausages, bacon, marinated fish, pudding and other food. There are also several servants holding red wine bottles and whiskey bottles pouring into the glasses.

There were already many men and women wearing gorgeous costumes talking in groups. Olaf, Hagrid and the guards' tall bodies immediately attracted the attention of most people when they appeared in the venue. Olaf whispered, "Esbach, you guys. Let's go and eat something."

　　 The guards glanced at Hagrid, nodded when he saw that he hadn't changed.

　　 Olaf and Hagrid didn't care about the eyes of the people around them, they found something to eat first.

　　 After a while an elderly servant appeared in front of the two of them, bowed and said in Latin: "Mr. Hagrid, Mr. Olaf, my sir invites you to come and speak."

　　 Hagrid was confused, but Olaf had already replied in Latin with some Icelandic accent: "Please lead the way."

　　 When the old servant led the two into the hall, Olaf whispered to his uncle: "Sir Burcher invites us in."

　　 "Okay." Hagrid said with a light cough, "My Latin is not good, you can handle it if they pull text later!"

Olaf nodded. Just about to speak, he saw a round table in the hall full of food and various wines. As soon as he approached Olaf, he smelled the scent of the water of life, and then six people were sitting behind the table. For men with different ages and temperaments in dresses, two men still seemed to wear wigs from their hairstyles.

　　 The six people were talking quietly, and they stopped talking when Hagrid and Olaf approached, and at the same time they smiled and looked over.

　　 Olaf and Hagrid also smiled at several people, then stood in front of an old man, bowed and said, "His Excellency, Lord Stephen, I am glad to see you again!"

This old man with tendrils in woolen fur is the Governor of Ireland, Carnarvon Stephen. He nodded slightly, then pointed to the two and said to the people around him: "Earl Ellen Page and Count New Frank, Bourch Sir William and Hampton and Little Cromwell. These two handsome tall men are the descendants of the Icelandic nobleman Hagrid and his nephew, a very smart and mature child Olaf, who I said before. I provide high-quality **** skins and royal jelly."

Several nobles of different ages nodded, and then smiled at Hagrid and Olaf, and then an elderly person of the same age as Stephen stood up and said: "Welcome to Mr. Hagrid and Mr. Olaf to join me. Reception, my son James Burchill, this is the son-in-law of the Dutch Prince of Orange, the Earl of New Frank, this is Allen, the Earl of Warwick, and this is my son-in-law Mr. Cromwell, this is Han Puton, he used to be a councillor, but now he is a pure businessman."

Burchill’s playful words made the young Earl of New Frank and the others laugh, and Hampton also shook his head. From their words, you can tell that Charles I’s dissolution of parliament and the dictatorship of Charles I the previous year were very common. Disgusted.

Hagrid and Olaf paid a few honorable guests very well, but Olaf was very interested in the young man named Cromwell, and looked more at this long-faced curly-haired man~www.wuxiaspot.com~this Several nobles have seen the porcelain, water of life, caramel, royal jelly, fur and other items bought by Sir Burqier from Hagrid and Olaf. They are also very interested, so they agreed with Hagrid on their respective needs. Because Hagrid had previously reported a limited number of commodities, he dared not agree on the spot, and could only say that he would mobilize another batch of commodities next month.

　　 Soon several noble lords and representatives of merchants negotiated with Hagrid and Olaf on a large business of 100,000 pounds of silver at the reception, and agreed on the delivery date of June.

　　 After talking about the voice, Stephen told the two that they could leave, and then Olaf and Hagrid consciously pushed out of the circle and ate something on the peripheral table.

　　 After a long time, with the appearance of musicians and dancers, graceful dancing and beautiful music appeared at the reception.

The participants all stopped to watch. Olaf glanced at the table and found that Governor Stephen and the two most distinguished earls had disappeared. It seemed that they had gone to rest elsewhere, while the host of the reception, Burqier, was holding a young girl in his arms. Dancing on the dance floor, Hampton and Cromwell drank whiskey not far away.

　　 Olaf's heart moved quickly and walked over.

　　 "Mr. Cromwell, hello!" Standing in front of Cromwell, who was about the same height as him but more than ten years older than him, Olaf smiled and greeted him.
