At eight o'clock in the morning, London International Airport.

Huo Yaowen, who had just gotten off the plane, walked out of the airport hall with a suitcase and ran straight towards the taxi not far away.

After getting into the taxi, Huo Yaowen reported the address of Anna's apartment, and when the car slowly started and slowly drove away from the airport road, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a few children not far away, only to see that the children were men and women, and each crotch was riding a somewhat delicate broom.

The driver in the front seat glanced at Huo Yaowen from the rearview mirror of the car, noticed that he was looking out of the car window, then followed and said, "Sir, those children are playing with magic brooms." ”

"Magic broom?" Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but think of the last few months, Litu came back from England to ask him for an autograph for cooperation with a toy factory, could it be the magic broom in "Harry Potter"?

"Sir, you're new to England, right?!There's been a book called Harry Potter in England that has been selling particularly well in recent months, and it's about a school of witchcraft and wizardry. These children are riding the magic brooms mentioned in the book. Of course, these are fakes, but these brooms are quite interesting, not only because they glow at night, but they also make some musical sounds. ”

The driver drove while chatting, and casually handed a newspaper in front of the car to Huo Yaowen in the back seat, and said: "Look, this morning's newspaper, this "Harry Potter" has sold 3.8 million copies. ”

"Three million and 800,000 copies?!"

Huo Yaowen, who took over the newspaper, saw the conspicuous headline on the Times: "Harry Potter sold more than 3.8 million copies in four months, becoming one of the best-selling children's fairy tales of all time in the UK!"

Well, the people at Thames Publishing Company position the book as a children's book, but the people who read it are not limited to children.

From the airport road to the city, Huo Yaowen can often wear a wizard hood on his head on the roadside, or a wizard costume with a black coat, although it looks a little unusual, but it seems that everyone is not surprised by the dress of these people.

When he arrived downstairs in Anna's apartment, Huo Yaowen paid and went upstairs with his suitcase, he didn't know if Anna was at home, but he couldn't take care of it at this time, so he started knocking on the door when he got to the door.

"Knock knock" a few times.

Someone in the room said, "Who?!"

Before Huo Yaowen could answer, the door was opened in a moment, and Lilith walked out with a cloak.

Lilith was pleasantly surprised, "Evan!

"Well, Lilith hasn't seen you in a long time. Huo Yaowen said with a smile.

"yes, it's been a long time. Lilith took a few steps back, motioned for Huo Yaowen to enter the house, and then turned around and walked towards the house.

Huo Yaowen entered the house and closed the door, glanced at the somewhat cluttered living room, put the suitcase aside, and asked a few steps forward, "Where is Anna?"

Lilith, who was brushing her teeth in the bathroom, said vaguely, "I went to the hospital, and today Anna's father left the hospital and went home." ”

As soon as he heard that Anna's father, the old-fashioned Mr. West, was coming home today, Huo Yaowen immediately asked, "In which hospital?" ”

"I'm going to work, I'll drive you there later." ”

"Good. ”

————

Half an hour later, Royal Brompton Hospital.

After Lilith reported the location of West's hospital bed to Huo Yaowen, she drove back to work.

In the hospital room, Mrs. Michelle helped Robert West change into a clean coat when Anna knocked on the door and walked in.

Mrs. Michelle asked, "It's all done?"

Anna Yang Yang Yang bought the medicine and the case in her hand and said: "Well, the discharge procedures have been completed, I also went to the doctor's place just now, he said that my father's body is recovering very well, just go home and take medicine and recuperate." ”

"That's good. ”

Mrs. Michelle looked back at Robert West, who was already dressed, and saw that he was pale and thin, and she was also a little sad.

"Knock Knock"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the ward, and the three of them turned their heads to look, only to see Huo Yaowen standing there with a bag in his hand.

"Evan!" Anna looked surprised, and couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and said, "When did you come!"

Huo Yaowen said: "The plane in the morning has not long been arriving. ”

Pushing away Anna who was hugging him tightly, Huo Yaowen walked to the side of the hospital bed and said to the two: "Mr. Viscount West, Mrs. Michelle, I'm sorry that I came here for so long." ”

Mrs. Michelle on the side smiled and said: "It's okay Evan, Anna told me, you have to help her substitute teach at school, and you have to deal with the company's affairs, we are very happy to be able to come to the UK to visit us." ”

Robert West only glanced at Huo Yaowen, lowered his head and said, "Okay, it's time for us to go home." ”

Hearing this, Anna immediately stepped forward to help Robert West with her mother, and Huo Yaowen helped pick up some pieces in the back, and followed back to the somewhat old castle.

Waiting outside the Westster family castle in Greenwich Town, Huo Yaowen found that the walls of this castle seemed to have been renovated, and when he entered it, many of the original dilapidated wall tiles had been renovated at the moment, and it seemed that the castle had been repaired before.

Not long after, as soon as Robert West was sent into the bedroom to lie down, he was heard: "Anna, you go out with your mother first, and I will talk to Mr. Evan alone." ”

Anna and Huo Yaowen glanced at each other, a little at a loss.

But Mrs. Michelle took her daughter's hand and said, "Honey, let's go out first, and let Evan talk to your father." ”

"Yes Mother. Anna reluctantly followed Mrs. Michelle out, but before leaving, she looked back at Huo Yaowen, and that look seemed to expect him to follow his father's words.

After the people left, Robert West refused Huo Yaowen's support, sat up with difficulty, pointed to a chair not far from the room and said, "Mr. Evan, please take a seat!"

Huo Yaowen moved a chair and sat down, looking at Viscount West, who had almost lost several laps of weight than last year, and didn't know how to open his mouth for a while.

"I only have one daughter, Anna, and until then I had thought that my title would be hereditary to my distant cousin, but in 1963 the King of England enacted a new law of nobility, and my daughter was able to inherit my title as well. So I don't really have much demand for who she likes, as long as I can be good to her......"

Perhaps because of this illness, Robert West had some heart palpitations, he sat there alone and talked to himself, while Huo Yaowen also listened silently.

It wasn't until Mrs. Michelle knocked on the door and came in that she stopped West from continuing to chatter, and said to Huo Yaowen with a smile: "Evan, you go back with Anna first, she hasn't rested well in the past few days." ”

"Hmm. ”

Huo Yaowen nodded, turned around and walked out the door.

————

On the way back by car.

Anna asked as she drove the car earnestly, "Honey, did my father tell you something just now?"

Huo Yaowen shook his head: "I didn't say anything, Mr. West just said that his title will be inherited by you in the future." ”

"I don't care about titles!"

Anna frowned and said, "Since the promulgation of the new noble succession law in '63, my father has always told me that in the future, the honor of the family will be entrusted to me to revitalize, but what age is it now? ”

West has been nagging Anna about the knighthood for the past month or two, which has made her feel a little disgusted. Because the premise of inheriting the title is that the old knight died, which made Anna feel very sad, she would rather not have this so-called viscount than see her father die.

"Anyway, Anna, your last name is West. Huo Yaowen listened to Anna's words, and suddenly remembered a classic sentence, people in the city want to go out, and people outside the city want to come in!

Although the English title is now only symbolic, and no longer divides land or power, it is still a nobleman, and there are still many privileges, such as inheritance can not be taxed. This is an unknown amount of money saved by the UK's expensive inheritance tax.

Anna sighed, "I know. ”

"Incredible!" Seeing that her face was not very good, Huo Yaowen deliberately said in order to make her laugh: "I never thought that my girlfriend would be a viscount, so will others call me Mrs. Evan when they see me in the future?"

Hearing funny, Anna smiled: "Hee-hee, no, I will only call you sir." ”

"Well, you are a viscount, so how can I say that I also want to get an earl as a pawn, can I buy a British knighthood now?"

Anna said with deliberate pity: "I'm sorry dear, it has been many years since the sale of knighthoods, and in recent years, only a few people have been knighted, and most of them are only lifelong titles, and hereditary titles don't seem to be awarded anymore according to my father." ”

Originally, it was just a joke, but Huo Yaowen suddenly remembered the noble title he bought on the Internet in later generations, and laughed and said, "What about the Duchy of Sealand?"

Anna was surprised, "Do you know the Duchy of Sealand?"

"I've heard that a country with only 22 people, it seems as if they also issue orders of nobility. Huo Yaowen said with a smile.

Later, he bought an earl of the Duchy of Sealand on the Internet, and spent more than 500 yuan on him, only to get a letter that he couldn't read in English, and after translation, he was roughly named the earl of the Duchy of Sealand. It was accompanied by several certificates, as well as a document proving his status as an earl.

Anna smiled, "Yes, there is such a thing, but they are not awarded for free. There was a small shop in Xining Street in London, which they used to sell the nobles and passports of their Principality of Sealand, but most of them were from abroad. Lilith bought a duke for five pounds! ”

"Forget it. Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows, counting that he had already experienced the life of the nobles of the Duchy of Sealand, it was nothing more than eating instant noodles at home, and he was still forced to be a screenwriter who was not popular and not popular, and he was just eating a mouthful.
