Chapter 479: Ahti, King of the Thousand Islands
The welcome doesn't end there. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info When the 'Blue Sea and Blue Sky' crossed the Salmi waterway and entered the port, a guard of honor waited for them in the port and played the 'glorious return', in addition to this, many people gathered in the port to watch the excitement.
"Scott's reception is really well done!" Duchamp looked at it from afar and said mockingly.
Learmor looked at Olivier grinning and said, "Maybe someone is coming, and they set up a special position." β
When the gangway of the yacht docked to the dock, a guard of honor ran onto the ship, puffed up his breath, and announced in a loud voice: "In order to welcome His Excellency Dietri Kane, His Excellency Steri Duchamp, and others, as well as the students of the Sons of Scott, to the island, His Excellency Oso Saipan, Governor of the Eastern Gnavado Islands of the Erebonian Empire, has come to the port to greet you personally, and I ask you to move to the docks." β
Duchamp listened to this lengthy curtain and thought to himself that his status in Scott's heart was not low, and he was only ranked after Dietrie.
Olivier smiled and whispered to Duchamp: "Do you hear it, we are all 'waiting', you hurry up and step forward." β
Duchamp felt that it was not good for him to be so showy, and suddenly had a plan: "We just go down so ordinary, this is too ordinary, in order to be worthy of Scott's formation and so many island fishermen watching, we should play "The Voyage" to go down." β
"I like the idea!" Olivier was the first to agree.
In the lively duet, everyone set foot on the land of Ahti.
The natives of Ahti look extremely simple, as evidenced by these bare-bottomed kids running around.
Some of the children who saw Duchamp and their singing slapped their hands vigorously, and did not hide their curiosity about these strangers, and they quickly gathered around, groping everywhere, and their snot was about to get on Dietrie's clothes.
The honor guard did not have the slightest intention of expelling these little heels, but blew harder.
The Governor of Don Gnavador, Lord Oso Saipan, was also pleased with the lively scene, and he explained with a smile: "The fishermen of the island, who have always been simple and uninformed, will watch like this when a new ship is coming, so please bear with me." β
Scott stretched out his hand to drive the little heels out of a few distances, and said happily: "Seniors, everyone is finally here, during this time, I am looking forward to it left and right, and living like a year." β
After that, he solemnly introduced Dietri Kane to his father. After greeting the Governor of Saipan, Dietrie introduced the other students one by one, and when he introduced Olivier, he did not know how to introduce it appropriately, so he had to say in general terms that he was from a famous family in the imperial capital.
After introducing everyone, the Governor of Saipan slapped him affectionately: "Oh, it's all famous, what a lot of color it is for our poor country!" You must know that in the entire Eastern Gnavado, there are only five nobles, and on Ahti Island, there is only one nobleman, and we are the only nobles, who have completely forgotten the aristocratic etiquette on weekdays. β
"Oh, where are the other four households?" Duchamp replied casually.
"In addition to Ahti, there are four relatively large islands in Eastern Gnavado, called Bouda, Kaleva, Rangigsu and Villamo, and they have been granted the title of barony granted by His Majesty, so they are called five nobles." When the Governor of Saipan finished speaking, he burst out laughing.
Ahti City is actually not very big, and after welcoming everyone, the Governor led everyone on a walk to the Governor's Palace, introducing important places in the vicinity along the way.
The Doge's Palace, which can be called the only spectacular building in the city, is an imposing stone castle, built on the high ground of the city, and looks like it is not small. The castle is surrounded by a stone square, and the perimeter of the square is a stone house where soldiers live, which is also a kind of outlying fortification. The inside of the castle is divided into several connected buildings, forming a square with a certain height difference, and it can be guessed from the style of the building that when this castle was first built, there must have been frequent wars in this place.
The one at the front of the castle is where the lord entertains guests.
Out of curiosity, Duchamp asked for a room facing the outside of the castle, and at last he found that the room facing this side was much darker, the room had no windows, and although there was a balcony for light, it was more suitable to be a good firing position, and the narrow balcony with two hard pillars blocked the light from the room.
When there was an invasion, the soldiers must have shot from behind the pillars of this balcony, and Duchamp could even find traces of battle on the outer walls of the building.
After hastily tidying up, everyone went to the restaurant to eat, and the table was almost full of all kinds of seafood, vegetables and fruits.
DuΕ‘an remembered that the sailors on board had said that the island of Ahti was the richest of the islands because of its abundant fresh water, and was known as the 'land of the sea gods'.
In addition to the Governor and Scott at the table, the Governor's wife also appeared.
At the dinner table, through the chatter of the Governor of Saipan, everyone knew that Scott was the Governor's beloved eldest son and would inherit the Governor's throne in the future, and at the same time, they also knew that the noble title of the Governor of Saipan was Earl.
When the meal was finally finished, the governor called all his children to the meeting. Through the identification of the Governor's children, Duchamp casually pondered and found that the Governor must have had at least three wives, which was mainly guessed from the appearance of his eight children.
Scott was not the eldest child in the family, he had two older sisters, and he had a plan for the afternoon to visit Ahti City, and several of Scott's sisters were happy to participate.
Scott is the third eldest in the family, and the eldest sister is called Bella, who is engaged to the heir of a certain baron, and is about to get married.
The second sister is called Aurora, and there is no one yet, and the fourth is also a daughter, named Shirley.
When the Governor's wife heard that Scott had invited a large group of noble classmates to the door, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and ordered that she should bring her second and fourth sisters with her in the past few days when she was entertaining her classmates on the island.
So, after the meal, after Scott announced his plans for an afternoon visit, the Governor's Mansion naturally said to the children: "The little ones should not move around much after the meal, and the older children should go and have fun with the guests." β
So, Scott's three flamboyant sisters happily joined the visiting group, and they took the prepared sightseeing carriage to several sightseeing spots that Scott had planned.
Such hospitality is certainly not accidental.
