Fortunately, although she has an impatient personality due to environmental influences, Sigrid is not bad by nature. She listened to Gordon's advice, nodded solemnly, and then took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry, Lord Earl, because I'm too worried about Miss Ji'er's injury, I'm a little out of control today." The female knight bowed to Gordon and apologized.

"There is no need to apologize so solemnly." Gordon took Sigrid's hand and helped her up. His hands were really like a fire, warm and hot in his hands.

Although the heat is pressing, but the feel is not bad, if it is winter to hold such a fiery beauty in your arms, it must be a beautiful thing. However, I am afraid that in the snowy winter, Sigrid will become a water state again, so this dream will be difficult to achieve.

Seeing that the female knight had finally calmed down, Larry stepped forward and said, "Lord Lord, it's almost noon now, please go to Aldrich's Mansion to attend the reception feast, presumably the King of Hyperven can't wait to meet you, the authentic Earl of Hyperven." ”

Gordon nodded, and said to Larry, "You lead the way ahead." ”

The Aldrich family's estate is located in the new town of Illegal, facing the sea and surrounded by an open area.

If there is one characteristic of this manor, it is only one: large.

Whether it is the main house, the side house, or even the warehouse, it is built very large. However, in addition to this feature, the Aldrich family is lackluster if it is viewed as a noble manor with pure life functions.

The simple stone building has no extravagant and beautiful decorations, not even a garden for afternoon tea and walking.

Sturdy prismatic facades, lookouts everywhere, small shooting holes scattered throughout the exterior walls of houses......

It's more of a small castle than a manor.

What's more, on the waterfront side is a private pier of Aldrich's family. At this time, six large ships with a displacement of more than a thousand tons were moored.

This is simply a military port.

After entering Aldrich's house, Hensel, who had just met outside the Black Iron City. Aldrich greeted him.

"Father has been waiting for you for a long time, Lord Earl, please follow me into the dining room." The polite mage gestured to Gordon.

If it weren't for Sheona's rejection of him before, Gordon had caught the fleeting anger on Hensel's face. He must have thought that this was a well-bred and gentle young man.

How could such a tyrant as the King of Hyperven raise docile offspring?

Legend has it that the king of Hyperven, Ebel. Aldrich has a pirate background. Now that Gordon and his party walked into the restaurant, he was sure that this rumor was absolutely true.

It is different from the dining room or banquet scene of various aristocratic families in memory. After entering Aldrich's huge dining room, which covers an area of hundreds of square meters, Gordon immediately felt a different style.

In this large, rustic stone hall. There are 30 long tables that can accommodate 20 people at the same time. This combination of long tables and benches is very common on sea vessels.

Directly north of the hall, on top of three staircases, is a throne draped in a tiger's skin. Presumably, this is the seat of the King of Hyperven. On the wall above the seat, a huge round rudder hangs, the center of which is inlaid with a metal disc. It is engraved with the lingua franca "Turbulent City".

In the navy of the Ferreton Platinum Empire, the first class battleships were often named after large cities with a population of more than 100,000. And Turbulent City is a large city with a population of more than 300,000 in Montenegrin Province.

"Could it be that this King of Hyperven has captured or sunk a first-class battleship of the Imperial Navy in his previous career as a pirate? This is quite an achievement for a pirate. Gordon said secretly in his heart.

In addition to this rudder, on the walls around the hall. There are also various kinds of trophies hanging - such as specimens of giant sharks, sea king squid, island giant tortoises.

Throughout the restaurant, there are traces of the King of Hyperven showing off his strength.

"Sit here, Lord Earl." Hensel led Gordon and his party to a long table against the wall, "I'll have the servants bring the food and drinks." Father will come to say hello to you soon. ”

"Please." Gordon nodded, then sat down.

"My lord, this ......" The half-elf with the longbow on his back was a little overwhelmed. According to the rules, a retainer like him, who has no aristocratic status, cannot sit at the same table as Gordon. The ten redstone guards who accompanied him were even more disqualified.

But Sigrid didn't care about it, and did it to Gordon's side. It seems that although she is trying her best to restrain the impatience in her heart, the fire form brings her that unruly character. There is still zài.

"Do as the locals do, sit down." Gordon pointed to the empty space across from him and said to the half-elf.

Not only is the decoration style of the restaurant very "pirate", but even the rules of eating are as heroic as a man at sea. There is nothing extravagant about the ferreton nobility.

At the other tables, figures with heads and faces from all over the Black Iron City and even the Haiwen Peninsula were like the most vulgar sailors, laughing and cursing at each other, drinking and eating meat.

Soon, a servant brought a variety of dishes and drinks.

In hot and humid climates, food tends to be spicy. On the Haiwen Peninsula, this rule is also followed. The cooking style is rough and rustic, the portions are full, and the dishes are sprinkled with various spices, which is unique for Gordon and his party.

See Gordon's easy-going and informal, Yang Qi. Sharpear began to feast with the rest of the soldiers. After a continuous journey, it was true that they had not eaten a good meal for a long time.

Even Sigrid, attracted by the turquoise jungle fruit wine, couldn't wait to pour a glass. I don't know if there will be anything wrong with the situation of the female knight "pouring wine on the fire". His attention was not at all on the enticing aroma, but on a short man with a wine glass in his hand, constantly moving through the hall.

His appearance is the same as that of Hensel. Aldrich and Greda. Aldridge has a seven-point resemblance, and his sparkling eyes stand out. His dark and rough skin was obviously the result of years of exposure to the sun and wind, and although he was not tall, his muscles were strong, and his body was full of explosive power.

Even though he lost his left calf and limped with a ridiculous "ding" sound when he walked, he still had a majesty that could not be ignored.

This man must be the king of Hyven, Able. Aldrich.

As if sensing that someone was observing him, Abel. Aldridge turned his head to look, his gaze colliding with Gordon's.

He smiled meaningfully, and walked straight in front of Gordon.

Although he broke a leg, the king of Hyperven was not slow to walk at all.

"Your Lord, Able. Aldrich salutes you. The King of Hyperven unexpectedly put on a rather low posture, "I have been waiting for a long time, the empire has finally sent a veritable lord to this peninsula, this is really the greatest happiness and glory of the people living on the island. ”

"You've overdone it, Mr. Aldrich." "I'm just a newcomer. In the future, if you want to govern the territory well, you will have to rely on a lot. ”

Able shook his head: "I'm just a commoner with a little bit of property, how can I be qualified to make my lord rely on me?" Of course, if you need anything, I will definitely try to help. ”

After he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his glass and shouted, "Cheers to our lord, Count Hyperven!" ”

"Cheers to Lord Earl!"

The other guests at the table stood up and raised their glasses.

After a round of drinking, I don't know which person it was, but suddenly drunk and shouted again: "Cheers to the King of Haiwen!" ”

Countless shouts rang out in unison in the dining room, far outloud than the cheers for Gordon just now.

YANG Qi. The faces of the Sharp Ears and the others immediately turned cold.

The meaning of this "chiluo" naked demonstration can be seen by everyone.

Gordon gestured to his subordinates.

In fact, he had anticipated this situation as early as when he met Able's twin daughters outside Black Iron City.

At that welcoming ceremony outside the city, the Aldrich family mobilized all the powerful people in the Black Iron City and even in the northern part of the peninsula. On the surface, this shows the respect and importance that the King of Hyperven regards as his lord. In fact, this is a demonstration of the strength of the Aldrich family.

The Aldrich family not only controls the entire Black Iron City, but also the entire northern part of the peninsula. With an order, all the upper classes on the peninsula must gather in Black Iron City. You, a foreign lord with no roots, had better be restrained and not be too arrogant.

This is the message that the King of Hyven wants to convey to Gordon.

Abel. Aldrich watched Gordon's expression change carefully. But in the end, he didn't show anything. The young Mage Lord maintained an expression of interest throughout, as if he was immersed in the atmosphere of this banquet.

The one-legged head of the Aldrich family raised his hand, and the cheers of "Long live the King of Hyven" immediately disappeared.

He bowed to Gordon and pretended to make a difficult salute: "My friends are rough people who don't know etiquette, and they were drunk and shouted indiscriminately just now, please don't mind, lordship." ”

"Of course not. ' What is born at the banquet is left at the banquet', which is a very popular proverb among the nobility of the empire. Gordon nodded politely.

This is the end of the initial temptation of both sides.

The King of Hyperven did not understand Gordon's mind. And Gordon, apart from further understanding how powerful this guy is on the peninsula, has nothing new to gain.
