Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 170: Monsoon Goddess
Boom--
The door of the reception room opened, and Ivan led Gary out of the reception room in stride.
The secret transaction has been concluded!
However, looking at the painful expression on the face of the old Viscount who was brought to the door, it was obvious that there was a severe bleeding, which was not much different from the real cut.
It's not that Ivan doesn't miss the old feelings, but as the captain, he has to give an explanation to the men who used their lives to carry out the mission. And is the money worse for the guy who can trust people?
The difference is the way!
If you change someone else, even if you find it with a large gold ticket, you may not care about this troublesome matter involving local power struggles.
After weighing it up, the possible behind-the-scenes man in this incident-the political opponent of the Viscount is basically impossible to fight in person. Pursuing pirates by myself was only performing official duties. Afterwards, the local nobles wanted to trouble him, the navy captain? His hands are not that long yet.
The most important thing is that the Viscount is very sincere, and even has such good things! Tsk tusk tusk... Aiwen is very satisfied with the transaction!
"By the way... I almost forgot." Suddenly thinking of something, Ivan turned and looked at the Viscount.
"What are you doing? My family has been hollowed out by you!" The old man raised his head vigilantly, subconsciously making a defensive posture with his hands around his chest, and said with a dark face.
"Hahaha, your viscount is like this, I won’t dare to come next time. Public or private, I came to visit the viscount, but I also prepared a gift." Said Ivan had already handed it to the old man. Walnut box inlaid with gold.
"This is...?"
The Viscount was a little surprised that Ivan actually prepared a gift for himself?
Given his status and age, it's hard to see BMW beauty anymore, but the posture Ivan made made him very comfortable.
"Open it and have a look, you will like it."
The old man didn't care much about the contents of the box, and was about to let the housekeeper put it away. Unexpectedly, Ivan was very confident in his "gift", but he also became interested in it.
For a while, I temporarily forgot the "pain" of just being cut.
Click--
The gold-inlaid box is exquisite, but I don't know if it's a mere appearance. Reaching out and opening the lid of the box, the box was covered with a layer of anti-slip blue velvet cloth, and in the middle of the velvet cloth was lying quietly a bottle of magnificent red potion that looked like a bright glow.
The first impression of seeing it is beauty! It's so beautiful!
The old man and the housekeeper behind him showed obsessive looks at the same time. Seeing it is as if seeing the most precious treasure in the world. By its appearance, even the precious rubies are less than one-tenth of it.
Slap--
......
Suddenly, the old man’s eyes flashed quickly and quickly reached out his hand to close the lid, and held the entire box in his arms like lightning.
He even looked around carefully to make sure that there was no one else at the door, and then let out a sigh of relief.
"Ivan...Your Excellency! Is this medicine the kind of thing I guessed?"
Here, the old Viscount’s address to Aiwen has changed slightly, and even has a hint of flattery in his tone of voice.
"It's the kind of thing you think. But, this is my only trophy. Don't tell anyone if you use it yourself. Otherwise we will all be in trouble!"
"I understand, I understand." Although he was slightly disappointed to learn that only this bottle was a little disappointing, he also knew that being a man should not be too greedy. It is a great blessing to be able to enjoy a bottle of this kind of thing, no Dare to have extravagant expectations.
Don’t blame the old man for behaving like this. The box contained a bottle of "Flawless Holy Blood" that was accidentally obtained from the "Bloodhand Gang" stronghold. I haven't figured out how to deal with it before, but now it happens to be a gift to the Viscount.
Because the action of pretending to be "Zorro" to go to the blood to help sweep the autumn wind was interrupted by the "murder ghost" incident at the beginning, this bottle of "flawless holy blood" was also the only bottle in his hand.
It has the miraculous effect of restoring body functions and prolonging life in disguise. Although the purpose is narrow, it is only useful for elderly ordinary people and low-level transcendents, and the range is not very large.
But for the viscount, who is already an old man, it is a treasure that cannot be exchanged for a daughter! "People who don’t have money and haven’t spent it yet" are unimaginable pain for people who have never experienced it...
If it weren't for the thing that the Viscount gave out at the end, it was too much to my liking, I might still be reluctant to give this kind of good thing.
Sending off Aiwen and his party, the old Viscount was stroking the wooden box in his arms and his heart was hot. The bad mood that was originally caused by the hijacking of the "smuggling ship" and subsequent heavy bleeding was also wiped out at this time.
"Help me call Lord Nabry, the fastest."
"Yes, sir!" The butler led away.
After a while, it was the same living room.
The Archon Viscount Andrea and Lord Nabry, the Chief Officer of the City Guard, sat on either side, but between them stood a young man who was a little at a loss.
The two people stared at Gramme at the same time for a while, and finally the Viscount spoke first:
"I remember that the captain of the third team of the City Guard was temporarily vacant, Graham, you will temporarily replace the team leader. What do you think of Sir Nabry?"
"Your Excellency, I think this appointment is very reasonable. Moreover, I think the quality of the wound medicine in the "White Rock Pharmacy" is good, and the city guards can increase purchases appropriately to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship."
"Well, let's do it this way." The Viscount directly clapped with a big wave of his hand.
"Huh?"
......
The dizzy Gram didn't say a word, but when he walked out of the Viscount's meeting room, he had already been promoted from an ordinary soldier to the captain of the city guard.
......
When Ivan and Gary returned to the "Conch", a carriage heavily guarded by ten armoured private soldiers was parked here.
Seeing the arrival of Aiwen, who was wearing the uniform of the school officer, the leading steward hurriedly walked a few steps to greet him.
"Dear Captain! I was ordered to hand over this item to you, do you need us to help you carry it on board?"
Ivan was not surprised by their arrival. This was part of the deal with the old Viscount. So nodded, not bothering the two masters: "Thanks for your hard work."
Soon, the planks of the "Conch" were put down. Under the command of the first officer Borg, who rushed over after hearing the news, several aristocratic private soldiers worked together to carry a heavy “cargo” more than two meters tightly wrapped in canvas onto the ship.
Then these people didn't say much, and hurriedly left after saluting.
"Mr. First Mate~IndoMTL.com~Go and call our boys back, we have a new mission!"
"Yes, Captain!" After Borg saluted, the remaining sailors came ashore to summon all the seamen who had been "repaired". After all, it was a short stay and no one dared to run too far.
"Gary, join me in replacing the "Conch" given to us by this "baby"."
Speaking, Ivan lifted the canvas on the "cargo", revealing a wooden statue below, more accurately a statue of a ship's bow!
It was a beautiful woman with a slightly fuzzy face and her blouse fluttering like wind and veil.
In this era, "ship heads", as a spiritual sustenance and ship decoration of sailors, generally exist on merchant ships, warships and even pirate ships. Usually animals, totems, and gods are used as prototypes to pray for the protection of gods and the sea. It is also a manifestation of the collective struggle spirit of the crew on a boat.
However, most of the "head portraits" are actually just decorations, and the comfort to the seafarers' hearts is far greater than the actual effect. The original bow of the "Conch" is also the same, just an ordinary wood sculpture.
However, the one sent by the Viscount just now is different! The treasure that nobles have pressed for hundreds of years is naturally special!
The head of the ship? Monsoon Goddess (Witchcraft): It is a constant passive effect of the ship. The speed of the downwind ship can increase up to 30% over time, and the speed of the upwind ship can increase up to 20% over time. When there is no wind The increase has returned to zero.
The effect is simple and direct, but very practical.
Moreover, it doesn’t require any consumption. It can be passively activated as long as it is placed on the bow. The preconditions do not rely on oars or waves, as long as there is wind...
