The Rise of Iceland

The banquet soon began. As the host, Gustav II first served a glass of wine, then said some scenes, took a sip in the middle of the stars, and then accompanied by cheerful music and dance performances on the dance floor. Everyone has entered a tense and orderly eating session.

　　 The Gustav II family did not attend to eat, but to win over the hearts of the people. After sitting for a while, they got up and left.

　　 Gustaf II and his family were away, and the people who ate were relaxed.

　　 The clinking of glasses increased significantly, and the smiles on the faces of the guests increased significantly.

　　 After a banquet, Olaf became the son-in-law of Boguslaw XIV. He also came to congratulate Gustav II on behalf of the Grand Duke as the quasi-heir of the Pomeranian Principality and was known to all the nobles.

　　 Regardless of what the real thoughts are, everyone knows that when Olaf inherits the Duchy of Iceland and Pomerania, he will be one of the most powerful people in the United Kingdom of Sweden.

　　 The nobles are always humble, polite, peaceful and friendly to the nobles. Facing the boundless future of Olaf, the dukes and earls quickly became friends with Olaf.

　　 Olaf always showed goodwill to everyone, and at the same time he verbally promised to make the spirits and sugar candy sold by the Icelandic Viking Caravan 10% cheaper.

　　 Benefited, everyone looked at Olaf's gaze more eagerly.

　　 Young and rich, with a bright future, the key is to be handsome and tall. Such young talents are not easy to find in Europe...

　　 Many dukes and earls regret that they did not marry their daughter to Olaf earlier, but Boguslaw XIV made a big deal.

　　 As soon as the feeling of being held over by the stars stimulated Olaf, he drank one cup after another. Although he was strong and had a good amount of alcohol, he still drank unconsciously in the end.

　　 When Olaf got up the next morning, he still had a headache. His throat was about to smoke. When he got up, he picked up the kettle on the table and drank half a pot of water in one breath.

"Comfortable!"

　　 took a breath, Olaf realized that he was in the guest room, but there was no impression of how he came back.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Catlin touched Olaf's face with a distressed look, and said: "You drank too much last night, boy, I will cook you the fish soup with my own hands. Drink it while it's hot. ."

　　Gerney walked in with a crock pot and put it on the table. Melkel followed the tall Gellney step by step, looking thinner and thinner.

　　 Olaf took a sip and said, "It tastes so good! Thank you, Mrs. Catlin."

　　Katrin pulled Melkel to sit down beside her, and said, "My boy, you remember how the fish soup is made, and you can cook it for Olaf more often in the future."

　　 Melkel said shyly, "Okay, I took it down. Thank you, ma'am."

　　 "What's the plan for today?" Olaf asked casually while drinking the soup.

"The Duchess Albert invited me to watch the opera "Daphne" with Mrs. Simpson and Mrs. Wallenstein. The chief of the orchestra is the court music leader of the Duchy of Sax. What is the name of Heinrich Schütz? Will you follow us to see it? ?"

　　 "I don't like to watch, where's Dad?"

　　 "I entered the palace with Duke Albert, saying that his Majesty asked them to find out about the situation in Iceland and Germany."

　　 Olaf nodded, and then said, "Melkel, go to the opera with your mother and sister. It's rare for an orchestra to perform."

　　 "What about you?" Melkel asked.

　　 "I'm still a little uncomfortable, I am going to lie down for a while."

　　 "Then I will accompany you."

　　 "No, I have nothing to do. When Dad comes back, I will need to talk to him, so you can go with your mother at ease."

　　 Melkel nodded and said, "That's good."

　　 After Katelyn left with Gellney and Melkel, Olaf lay down and slept for a while.

　　 In a daze, Olaf was awakened by Hadar.

　　 "Dad, what's the matter? Are you back from the palace?"

　　 Hadar smiled and said, "How can the Viking Berserkers let a little bit of strong alcohol down? Don't sleep in broad daylight."

　　 Olaf sat up and said with a smile: "The main reason is that I usually drink less and haven't practiced, so I can't compare it to you."

　　 "Your Majesty summoned you early, what did you ask?"

"It's just asking about population, economy, and specialty products, but I didn't ask too carefully, but His Majesty Gustav II said that he wanted to form the Swedish West India Company and go to the West Indies and North America to establish colonies. Listen to him. It means I hope we can help him, what do you think?" Hadar said in a heavy tone.

Olaf raised his brows and said: "Yes, we have to support whether we like it or not, but we strongly support the Swedish West Indies Company to establish a colony in the southern archipelago during the operation. Anyway, what Sweden lacks is food and cane sugar. The islands happen to produce these things. If you still want to establish a colony in the north, it's not impossible, but we have to give him a choice between Virginia or New Netherlands."

　　 Hadar was taken aback, thought for a while, and whispered: "Are you trying to clear the Swedish colony with the tricks against Virgenia? You have to pay attention, in case it leaks..."

　　 "No, father, you think too much."

Olaf shook his head and said: "Sweden has a small population and is not rich enough. As long as it has the West Indies, it is estimated that it can last for a hundred years. The North American colonies will not have many people and resources poured into them. Knowing the terrible aboriginals, they can only stand by themselves, next to New Netherlands, they can rely on the Dutch to run a good business, in short, we have to let the Swedish colony in North America not have enough food and starve to death, in any case we can not give Their opportunities for development."

Hadar smiled and said: "I understand, this matter has to be left to you. Your Majesty said that you will come with me into the palace to dine with him in the evening, and then we will happily agree to help him establish a colony~www.readwn. com~ Olaf gave a light cough and asked: "Your Majesty showed up for a short time yesterday, and he couldn't see clearly at night. You saw him again today. What is his mental and physical condition? Are you ok? "

　　 Hadar frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "He is indeed a lot thinner than last year, but he is in good spirits. He drinks a bowl of chicken soup every day. It is estimated that the gunshot wound and the dark wound can't be completely healed..."

Olaf whispered: "When we left Leipzig last year, His Majesty’s body was very weak. Song Qinghe told me privately that His Majesty’s dark illness was very serious. In addition, the gunshot wound the previous year also injured the internal organs, although temporarily There is no life worry, but it will make him feel painful, weak, unable to wear armor, and overworked. However, I don’t think he will be able to rest in peace for a year, and his body should be worse than last year."

　　 "Will it be life-threatening?" Hadar asked, narrowing his eyes.

　　As a great minister and duke of the United Kingdom of Sweden, Hadar is very concerned about the safety of Gustav II, because Gustav II is the amulet of Iceland, and it is also the foundation of their father and son entering the circle of European aristocracy and enjoying long-term prosperity and wealth.

Olaf frowned and said, "I don’t know. I forgot to bring Song Qinghe. His majesty suffered a gunshot wound in the winter of the previous year, and it also provoked the hidden illnesses and injuries in his early years. With the medical level in Sweden, as long as it deteriorates. It is a nightmare for the United Kingdom of Sweden and His Majesty."
