Extraordinary Sailing

Then Ivan got up and saluted gracefully, and turned away with Graham.

Graham followed Aiwen out of the outpost, a little confused.

From his point of view, today's meeting was completely meaningless, and he talked about some topics that he didn't understand. On the contrary, what he cared about most was the reward for Ivan, and the two parties didn't mention it at all from the beginning to the end.

Let him be calm, Aiwen knows that this is the way of traditional nobles.

For the sake of the face of both parties and the dignity of the nobles, Nabri will not take the initiative to talk about the bounty issue nakedly, and the same is true of the Garriott family, a century-old noble.

Compared with the emerging aristocrats who talk about money all the time, it's hard to say who is good and who is bad, it's just that the principles of handling things are different.

really.

After the two stood outside the outpost for a while, the other party's adjutant came up and gave him the reward he deserved. In addition to the huge bounty of fifty golden lions, there is also a hand and a half sword that looks ordinary but is actually well forged.

"Your Excellency Aiwen, this is a personal gift from Lord Lord, please accept it!"

Ai Wen is good at swordsmanship, and of course he knows swords.

Grandpa Leo, who used to be an official knight, had an extraordinary saber, but unfortunately, he lost it long ago when he fled.

What he is using now is only ordinary goods forged in blacksmith shops, which are incomparable to military supplies, which are high-quality goods that have money and no place to buy them. If he had such a sword in his hand when fighting the black bear, he would dare to face the black bear head-on and crush him head-on.

"Thank you Sir for me, I like his gift very much."

After some politeness, Aiwen watched the adjutant return to the post before leaving with Graham.

Before the two separated, Aiwen took out five golden lions and stuffed them to Graeme. The guy immediately beamed with joy. Unexpectedly, he still had his own share, so he accepted it after a couple of refusals.

Aiwen's code of conduct is very modern, the more friends he has, the less he can make small calculations on money-related matters. After all, Graham took the risk with himself today, as well as the credit for introducing Sir Nabri, which is completely worth the reward of the five golden lions.

Looking back, Graham can still receive a salary from the official wartime enlistment, which should be able to cover his income for half a year, which can be called a good harvest.

The next day, the originally planned journey did not take place.

As a matter of course, Aiwen was summoned again by Viscount Andrea, the consul and the highest local title.

Through the communication with Lord Nabri yesterday, Aiwen knew that there was also a dispute between the old and the new nobles in the kingdom of Phalatis and the home country of Ilia, which he didn't have much impression of.

But Phalitis has a powerful royal family, firmly in control of the country's supreme force and more than 80% of the professional army, as the supreme arbiter in the middle of the referee.

Many years ago, he used his clever skills to straighten out all the forces in the country, old and new, large and small.

Establish an iron order to suppress all unstable factors under Her Majesty's throne. No matter how you fight, you must abide by the rules set by Her Majesty to minimize internal friction.

At the same time, the royal family used the contradiction between the fiefdom nobles and the emerging nobles to turn it into an opportunity for themselves.

Cooperate with the emerging nobles and the burghers to gradually erode the land of the old fiefdom nobles through the urbanization movement; sign a contract with the old nobles to occupy a place in the emerging cities and obtain far more benefits than the closed manor economy in the past.

At the same time, through the continuous development of new sea routes and overseas colonies, all parties are tied to their own chariots. No matter how strong all parties are, the royal family and the kingdom are the biggest beneficiaries, and they will always be invincible!

After a generation of hard work, Phalitis has become a regional power, and has a great voice in the Tulip Alliance.

The consul, Viscount Andrea, is a former feudal aristocrat who has successfully transformed under such a background, and also has the right to manage the city through the town council.

In the reception room of the consul of the city hall, Ivan met the most distinguished figure of Leopold.

This is a very dignified old man. All the traits of Western aristocrats in Aiwen's previous life impressions can be found in him. He is rigid, strict, and unreasonable. He is a very typical superior.

Facing the penniless Aiwen, he spoke simply and directly:

"Although Nabri has already reported your situation to me, I still want to ask you in person what you think. Are you willing to join my Leopold City as a member of the city guard?"

Facing the old man's extremely stressed eyes, Aiwen bit the bullet and said:

"Leopold is your city, and it is also my hometown. It is my natural mission to defend my hometown, but I still want to see the outside world while I am young."

Seeing the sincerity and firmness in Aiwen's eyes, the old man's eagle-like eyes softened slightly, and the corners of his stone-like rigid mouth curved slightly.

"All right.

Although very sorry. But as an old man, I can understand the thinking of the young eagles. They always want to use their wings to measure how high the sky is and how far the sea is.

If you want to come back, Leopold is your forever home, boy! "

"Thank you, Your Excellency! Thank you very much for your understanding." No matter how sincere it is, it is very rare for an old man to say such a thing, and Ivan did not feel offended.

Even though he couldn't accept his kindness, Ivan still got up and bowed deeply to him.

The old man waved his hand to let Ai Wen sit down again, turning the seal ring on his hand and saying casually:

"I heard that you have the idea of ​​joining the Royal Navy? I have already written a letter of recommendation for you, you can bring it with you, use it or not, it's up to you.

Although it is impossible to go through the back door, it can save you a lot of trouble as an admission ticket. "

A moment later, Aiwen took the letterhead with the old man's family crest with both hands, saluted solemnly again, and left.

Then he ran out of the city hall as if fleeing.

Aiwen shouted in his heart: "Although I don't know what level he has reached, this old man is definitely a hidden supernatural being. Facing him is more tiring than a bloody battle with pirates!"

On the way back, the scenes of today's experience resurfaced, and Aiwen lamented that the methods of the old nobles were really impeccable.

The letter of recommendation was prepared in advance. Even if Ivan could not be kept, but for a talent who grew up in Leopold and naturally tended to the opposite camp, he naturally tried his best to show favor.

It's just a little effort for the old man, but even if Aiwen only has a one-tenth chance of offering rewards in the future, it will be a big profit!

Even though Aiwen's wisdom has already penetrated the old man's plan, no matter whether he uses this letter of recommendation or not, he has to accept his favor.

As for how he learned about Aiwen's information in less than a day? As a landlord, it is even more strange not to understand!

Aiwen is making the final preparations before departure.

On the other side of the pirate siege incident, the "Blood Anchor" pirate ship had a different atmosphere.

After the pirates who sieged and plundered the city last night retreated to the ship and counted the number of people, the entire pirate ship was shrouded in a low air pressure.

Blood Anchor Zack is going crazy!

The failure of the robbery and the pursuit of the navy some time ago made Captain Zack urgently need a brilliant victory to stabilize his position on the ship and eliminate the ambitions of the scumbags and villains on board.

At the end of the day, I have to get rid of some thorns that have already expressed my dissatisfaction on the surface, and let the rest of the people know who is in charge of this boat!

After choosing Leopold, a little-known fishing town, Zach directly sent a lot of thorns who questioned his authority ashore. Dilemma.

Even just to be on the safe side, Blood Anchor Zack also dispatched his loyal right-hand man "Bosun Black Bear Billy" to lead the battle, thinking that he had done everything right.

But after the landing troops returned and counted the number of people, the casualties of up to fifty-six people made Blood Anchor feel heartbroken. You must know that because of the previous loss of personnel, there were only 130 pirates on the entire ship!

What's more, because the looting time is limited, the booty brought back by the pirates can't make up for the loss of personnel this time.

Except for the 30 die-hard loyalists left on the ship, less than half of the 100 pirates sent out came back.

Especially Bosun Black Bear Billy, the number one general under him, failed to come back. Now even the hardcore crew members under him are looking at him with flickering eyes, and their hearts are more turbulent than before.

"Hold the anchor, let's rob the merchant ship!!!"
