…
In everyone's expectation.
As the blackout curtains were lowered, the huge manor hall seemed to be plunged into darkness in an instant.
However, the servants soon lit the lamps, and the entire hall became bright and warm. Even the air seemed to have a faint and pleasant fragrance because of the burning of these lamps.
"This is beeswax. Pure beeswax."
Daniel was sitting at the table, and he turned sideways to Wu Hui beside him and whispered, "But it seems that some special incense is added in it. You know, these are things that rich people like. If you don't like it, Brother Wu Hui, I have some cooling cream here, which can relieve some... um... that kind of dryness and heat."
"It's just a small thing with such a small dosage. There's no need to worry." Wu Hui waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.
Wu Hui has been in this world for a long time and has gained a certain understanding of this world.
Beeswax is a valuable commodity. In addition to its high medicinal value, candles made of beeswax are different from the paraffin wax used by ordinary people, which emits black smoke when lit.
Candles made of beeswax not only do not produce dirty pollution, but also produce brighter flames after being lit. They also have the effect of purifying the air and strengthening the body and mind.
Because it is difficult to obtain and its value is high, usually only upper-class aristocrats like Blake and Daniel, or occasions like the Royal Theatre, have the capital to use beeswax for lighting.
Of course, the price is expensive, but the effect is also very obvious. Using beeswax lighting, and under the carefully designed mirror reflection of the lamp, it will definitely make the whole room bright and magnificent.
But now, Viscount Taylor lit dozens of lanterns at once and used hundreds of beeswax sticks of various sizes. This is no longer something that can be described as grand, it is simply a luxury!
As for the incense Daniel mentioned, it was a little bit of special medicine added to beeswax by some wealthy and aristocratic people who were obsessed with pleasure.
After all, the nobles and wealthy businessmen who indulged themselves in excessive sexual activities all day long usually felt that they had the will but not the ability, so during happy moments, a little bit of incense to liven up the mood was often the best option.
Daniel is also a careful person. He was worried that Wu Hui, who only had level 2 strength, would be affected by these incenses, so he gave the reminder.
But don't forget that Wu Hui's true identity is a god with a powerful spirit. Even if he is really poisoned, he can get rid of it in minutes.
However, many of the wealthy nobles present, along with their entourage, began to flush with anger and their emotions ran high. The aura of insatiable greed had already filled every corner of the hall.
“It’s really a life of luxury.”
Wu Hui touched his chin and looked around slowly, thinking that this fat-like Viscount Taylor had long been in control of the Port of Ampuro and the surrounding maritime trade, and it seemed that he must have been rich for a long time.
And these wealthy businessmen and nobles present here are so arrogant and extravagant. If they just take a cut of the profits, it would probably be terrifying, right
“Crash!”
At this moment, a series of sounds of chains being pulled suddenly came from the side door.
