Extraordinary Sailing

Chapter 24 Dinner in the Captain's Cabin

Because the experienced Grandpa Leo judged that after obtaining the iron ore of the Garriott family legally, the remaining members of the Garriott family have lost their use value and cannot be seen by the enemy at all.

And even if they belonged to the Tulip Alliance, the nobles of the Kingdom of Ilia didn't have the energy to search for themselves in Phalitis, which was faintly the kingdom with the strongest comprehensive strength in the alliance.

Therefore, after Aiwen and the old housekeeper Leo came to Phalitis and settled in the small town of Leopold, they did not change their names except for disposing of some things related to their original aristocratic status.

From the age of ten to fifteen, the five years of stable life also proved that the name Alvin Garriott did not cause him any trouble.

Probably aware that his state is easily misunderstood, Geer stared at Ivan's black eyes, sighing as if reminiscing:

"Probably no one has ever told you that you will look more like your mother when you grow up!"

If there is no name and family emblem, Geer will not have any associations even if he sees Aiwen outside. After all, there are many people with the same name and surname, and there are also many people who look alike. But at this moment, he looked more and more like him, and Geer found too many traces of friends and couples on Aiwen's face.

"What did you say?"

Seeing that Aiwen was slightly stunned and didn't react at all, Geer, who was not good at expressing his feelings, stopped talking nonsense.

"Look at the sword!"

A white light exploded in the bedroom, and Geer suddenly drew out his sword. His tall and strong body skidded across the water like a boat, and the long sword in his hand pierced Aiwen's left shoulder.

[Sword Style Floating Boat]

The deep-rooted swordsmanship instinct allowed Aiwen to slide backwards by himself when his mind was not in control.

[Sword Style Floating Boat]

The same move did not contain any fireworks, and a small boat drifted with the current, dodging the blow lightly and skillfully. When he retreated to the door, he had lightly jumped up and switched places with Geer, but the distance between the two remained unchanged.

The corner of Geer's mouth smiled, and the last trace of uncertainty in his heart after this sword also quietly dissipated.

The names can be the same, the looks can be similar, and even the coats of arms of nobles can be faked, but the white sail swordsmanship that has penetrated into the bone marrow and has reached the level of proficiency is the strongest proof.

He is the son of his old friend Furman and his nephew Alvin Garriott!

In contrast, Ai Wen looked surprised, and the familiar sword move evoked the memory deep in his heart.

"Who are you"

For a teenager in the growing period, the change in appearance can even be called a plastic surgery level in five years, but for an adult like Geer, it has not changed much.

Even if the distance between the two countries cannot be an obstacle to a naval captain, as a friend of Ivan's father, Furman Garriott, Geer will visit the Garriott family's estate at least once a year.

In fact, Ivan met Geer more than once. And the last time was five years ago, at Furman's funeral, and not long after that was the night of blood and fire.

So even though Aiwen is still very young, Geer doesn't stay for long each time, but Aiwen still has a certain impression of this Uncle Geer who brings gifts to him every time.

Although the impression of the gift is far deeper than that of himself, what can I ask for, who is still a real child who has not awakened the memory of his previous life at that time?

Under Geer's expectant gaze, Ivan finally connected the inexplicable sense of familiarity, and slowly spit out the words he was looking forward to hearing: "Uncle Geer!"

"Crack!" Geer clapped his hands excitedly, almost jumping up with joy.

"Wait a minute, tell me, is Katie's starfish-shaped black spot on her left buttock or her right buttock?"

Aiwen, whose mind is a bit confused now, is a little confused about the situation. He chose a life path of joining the army after careful consideration. He happened to join the Third Fleet closest to his home. An old warship?

Being entangled by the mysterious spider web called fate, Ai Wen subconsciously wanted to struggle again.

Unexpectedly, Geer rushed directly to him, hugged him with a pair of powerful arms, patted his shoulder vigorously, and said with some amusement: "Katie is a pure black filly, you were born when you were eight years old. A birthday present, and perhaps a black starfish spot on its cute little forehead."

"Welcome home! Little Ivan!"

When the two sat face to face at the dining table in the captain's cabin, and the table was gradually filled with all kinds of delicacies that Gert ordered the sailors to pack on the shore, Ivan's head was still a little dizzy.

The last time I dined in the captain's cabin was with Captain Joseph on the Huanghu, but this time Ivan was far less free and aloof than last time. It may be due to sudden changes, it may be due to the relationship between the two parties' superiors and subordinates, or it may be due to a sudden change in the relationship.

Not quite used to Uncle Geer's enthusiasm, Ivan felt that he needed a period of adaptation. Some tugged on their necklines not in accordance with social etiquette, and drank the glass of rum in front of them in one gulp.

But because he had never drunk alcoholic beverages in his life, he couldn't help coughing twice.

"cough cough"

Unexpectedly, he found his friend's son smoothly, and Geer is in an excellent mood now, perhaps only comparable to when he received the news of his son's birth at sea back then. Now under the love of the house, no matter how I see Ivan likes it, I don't care about his little faux pas.

"By the way, little Aiwen, I received news that some bandits broke through and occupied Blackstone Town, and it was delayed for a few days because of a mission.

When I arrived, the manager of Earl Wright's house who took over the town said that they had confirmed that all of you were killed and had confiscated your bodies. What the hell is going on here, Anita and Butler Leo? "

Poured a glass of wine for Ivan again, and Geer was very concerned about what happened that year.

"Oh, is that what they said to the outside world?" A sneer appeared on Ai Wen's young face.

When the bandits attacked the town that night, Grandpa Leo was besieged by two formal knights of the same level. Even if he escaped with Ivan in the end, he still suffered irreversible serious injuries.

Think about it with your butt, how can there be a knight-level powerhouse among ordinary robbers? And there are two?

Now it seems that Earl Wright, who finally got the huge iron ore interest in Blackstone Town, is seriously suspected. If he hadn't forged his sibling's bones, he might have been an uninformed third party, but now it seems that he has a high probability of being the mastermind behind it, and he made no secret of it!

What robbers looting is just a self-directed and self-performed ghost trick!

There is nothing to hide about these things and my own speculations. Aiwen told Geer little by little how he was separated from his sister Anita, settled in Leopold, and Grandpa Leo died of serious injuries soon.

What Ivan didn't know was that the old butler actually knew that Geer was serving in the Phalatis Navy, and even the correspondence between Furman and Geer was basically handled by Leo. But he had already lost the eldest lady, and with the sudden change, he couldn't trust anyone.

After all, not many people know about the situation of the rich iron ore, and there are not many people who are indifferent to the golden lion worth millions. Even Furman's close friends cannot completely rule out the possibility of betrayal.

At that time, the father and father were not desperate. Leo would rather be cautious than regret for life.

But unlike the cautious old housekeeper, Aiwen has a digital vision, observing breathing, heartbeat, subtle eyes and emotional changes, which is much more powerful than a lie detector. Coupled with the portrait of his father Furman hanging on the wall next to him, Ivan is very sure that Uncle Geer is trustworthy.

After all, even if he is a vicious villain, unless he is born with a pervert, it is impossible for him to hang the portrait of the victim in front of him all day long.

"I'm sorry, kid!" Although Aiwen understated it, Geer could also imagine the crisis and danger of the situation at that time.

As for why Steward Leo, who knew his address and the fleet he served in, didn't come to him directly, there seemed to be a tacit understanding, and Geer didn't ask. Whether it is fear of implicating oneself or being cautious in times of distress, it is a thing of the past, and everything is no longer important.

"I will find a way to search for Anita. Anita is a real little genius. The last time I saw her, she was almost at the peak of the apprentice knight. She will be fine."

"Well, it will be fine."

The two men, one big and one small, were not the talkative type, and the atmosphere was a little quiet for a while.

Ka Ka

There was only the sound of the knife and fork sliding gently on the dinner plate in silence.

"Come, have a drink!" Geer has never comforted anyone. He has been stationed on the sea all year round, and he doesn't even spend much time with his own son, let alone how to get along with juniors like Aiwen. This one way too.

Aiwen smiled, also picked up the wine glass, and touched Geer.

It has been so long, Aiwen has long since stopped being immersed in the past, and only looking forward can there be hope. The enemy is there, and Ivan will not be so stupid as to hit a stone with an egg.

But he firmly believes that Anita must be somewhere in the world, waiting to reunite with him.

My naval career has already had a good start, what I have to do now is to become stronger! Keep getting stronger!

After drinking the wine in the glass, Geer looked at Aiwen hesitantly and said, "Aiwen, do you have any plans for the future?"

"What? On the first day I boarded the ship as an official navy, is the captain going to drive me off the ship?" After reminiscing about the past together at the beginning, the uncle and nephew have become familiar with each other, and Ai Wen made a little joke .

"Hahaha, you kid! Sure enough, you are so bold in the same line as Furman, and you dare to talk to your captain like this on the first day as a recruit!"

Obviously, this way of speaking made Geer more comfortable. In addition to his identity as the son of the deceased, he also admired Aiwen himself. It's not the regular army knights and musketeers. As a navy, you must have such bold courage and adaptability.

"Don't want to be an explorer?" Geer quipped.

Every Garriott is a brave explorer. This sentence is even written into the family motto, and Geer knows it very well.

"Let's do a good job in the navy first!" Ivan said with a chuckle.
