Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 12: Gift
Then Ivan got up and saluted gracefully, then turned to leave with Gramm.
Gram followed Ivan out of the outpost, somewhat unclear.
In his opinion, today’s meeting was simply unnutritive. He talked about topics that he didn’t understand. On the contrary, he was most concerned about the reward for Aiwen. From the beginning to the end, neither of the parties mentioned anything.
let him stay calm, and Ivan knew that this was the way traditional aristocrats acted.
For the sake of the face of both parties and the dignity of the nobility, Nabri will not take the initiative to talk about the bounty issue naked, and the same is true for the Galliot family, a century-old nobleman.
Compared with the emerging aristocrats who talk about money, they can’t say who is good and who is bad. It’s just that they have different criteria for doing things.
really.
After the two stood outside the outpost for a while, the other's adjutant came up and delivered the reward he deserved to him. In addition to the huge bounty of fifty golden lions, there is also a half-handed sword that looks ordinary but is well-forged.
"Your Excellency Ivan, this is a personal gift from Lord Lord, please accept it. I wish you good luck and prosperity!"
Aiwen is good at swordsmanship, and of course he also knows swords.
Grandpa Leo, who was once an official knight, had an extraordinary saber, but unfortunately, he had already lost it when he fled.
What he uses now is only the ordinary goods forged in the blacksmith's shop. 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 Sir, I like his gift very much."
After some courtesy, Ivan watched the adjutant return to the post, and then left with Graham.
Before the two separated, Ivan took out five golden lion plugs and gave them to Gram. This guy smiled immediately, but he didn't expect to have a share of his own, so he took it after two resignations.
Aiwen’s rules of conduct are very modern. After all, Graham and his own adventure today, and the credit for introducing Sir Nabry, are completely worthy of the rewards of these five golden lions.
Going back, Gram was still able to receive a reward for the wartime conscription, which should be able to match his income for half a year, which is quite rewarding.
......
The next day, the originally planned journey failed.
Of course, Ivan was once again summoned by Viscount Andrea, the consul and the highest rank in the region.
Through the exchange with Lord Nabry yesterday, Ivan knew that the Kingdom of Falettis and the home country Ilya, who had little impression of him, also had disputes between the old and the new nobles.
But Falettis has a powerful royal family, firmly in control of the country's supreme military force and more than 80% of the professional army, as the superior arbiter and the referee.
Many years ago, he used clever means to straighten out all the forces in the country, both old and new, big and small.
The iron-made order suppresses all unstable factors under Her Majesty’s throne. No matter what the struggle is, the rules set by Her Majesty must be followed to minimize internal friction.
At the same time, the royal family used the contradiction between the fief aristocracy and the emerging aristocracy to transform it into their own opportunity.
Cooperating with emerging aristocrats and the bourgeoisie, through the urbanization movement, gradually eroding the land of the old fief aristocrats; signing a contract with the old aristocrats to occupy a place in the emerging cities and obtain far more benefits than the former closed manor economy.
At the same time, through the continuous development of new routes and overseas colonies, all parties are tied to their own chariots. No matter how strong the parties are, the royal family and the kingdom are the biggest beneficiaries and will always be invincible!
After a generation of hard work, Falettis has become a regional power and has a great say in the Tulip Alliance.
Consultant Viscount Andrea is a former fief noble who has been very successful in transformation under this background, and he also owns the management of the city through the citizen council.
In the reception room of the Archon 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 the impression of Aiwen in his previous life can find obvious shadows in him. He is rigid, strict, and uncomfortable. He is a very typical high-ranking person.
Facing the obscure Aiwen, speaking is simple and direct:
"Although Nabry has reported your situation to me, I still want to ask your thoughts in person. Would you like to join my Leopold City as a member of the city guard?"
Against the old man’s extremely stressed gaze, Irvine bit his scalp and said:
"Leopold is your city and also my hometown. It is my 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 sharp eagle eyes eased slightly, and the corners of the stone-sculpted mouth also had a slight curve.
"Okay.
Although I am very sorry. But as an old man, I can understand the thoughts of the young eagles, and I always want to use my wings to measure how high and far this day is.
If you want to come back, Leopold is your forever home, child! "
"Thank you, sir! Thank you very much for your understanding." No matter how sincerely you are, it is very rare to say this as an elderly person, and Ivan did not feel offended.
Even though he couldn't accept his kindness, Ivan got up and saluted him deeply.
The old man waved his hand to make Aiwen sit down again, turning the signet ring on his hand and said at will:
"I heard that you have the idea of joining the Royal Navy? I have written a letter of recommendation for you. You can bring it with you, use it or not.
Although it is impossible to go through the back door, it can save you a lot of trouble as an admission ticket. "
After a while, Aiwen took the letter paper with the coat of arms of the old man's family with both hands, saluted again, and left.
and then ran out of the city hall as if fleeing.
Aiwen yelled in his heart: "Although I don't know what level he has reached, this old man is definitely a hidden extraordinary person. Facing him is more tiring than a **** battle with pirates!"
Walking on the way back, today’s experience resurfaced scene by scene, and Ivan lamented that the methods of the veteran aristocracy were truly impeccable.
has prepared a letter of recommendation in advance, even if I can’t leave Aven, but for a talent who grew up in Leopold and tends to favor the opponent’s camp, he naturally tries his best to show kindness.
is just a small effort for the elderly, but in the future, even if Aiwen only has a one-tenth chance to provide a return, it will be a big profit!
Even though Ivan’s wisdom has penetrated the old man’s plan, no matter whether this letter of recommendation is used or not, he has to accept his favor.
As for how he learned about Aiwen's intelligence in less than a day? As a landlord, it's even more strange if you don't understand it!
......
Aiwen is intensively doing the final preparations before departure.
The other side of the pirate siege incident, the "Blood Anchor" pirate ship, is another atmosphere~ IndoMTL.com~ The pirates who were looted and looted last night were withdrawn from the ship. After counting the number of people, the entire pirate ship All were enveloped by a low air pressure.
Blood Anchor Zach is going crazy!
The previous looting failure and the Navy’s tail pursuit made Captain Zack desperately need a brilliant victory to stabilize his position on the ship, and to eliminate the ambitions of these scumbags and villains on the ship.
At the last time, some of the thorns that have expressed their dissatisfaction on the surface have to be wiped out, so that the rest of the people will know who is in charge on this boat!
After choosing Leopold, the little-known fishing town, Zach directly sent many thorns who questioned his authority ashore. Whether the outcome of the battle is good or bad, he can relieve his prestige of successive failures. The dilemma of great loss.
Even to be on the safe side, the Blood Anchor Zach sent his loyal right-hand man "Billy the Sailor the Black Bear" to the battle, thinking that he had done nothing wrong.
But after the landing troops returned and counted the number of people, there were as many as 56 casualties, but it was painful to the blood anchor. You must know that because of the previous successive losses of personnel, there were only 130 pirates on the entire ship!
What's more, because of the limited time for looting, the spoils brought back by the pirates simply cannot make up for the loss of personnel this time.
Besides the thirty hard-core loyal loyalists left on the ship before, less than half of the 100 pirates sent out came back.
Especially the sailor the black bear Billy, his number one general, did not come back. Now even the **** crewmen under his watched his eyes flashing, and the heart was more turbulent than before, and the blood anchor was so sad that he almost vomited blood. .
"Anchor, let's go looting merchant ships!!!"
