Chapter 169 The Viscount’s Trouble
Leopold Town Hall, parlour.
Coming here again after a year, Alwin’s mood is completely different from meeting the Viscount for the first time.
I was led into here by the Lord himself.
Alwin even had a leisurely time to appreciate the furnishings in the living room. Not to mention the expensive furniture and oil paintings on the walls, a weapon rack placed in the corner of the room was full of lances, shields, and swords. The fact that the viscount family is a military nobleman is revealed all the time.
And all of this, when Alwin came here for the first time, he didn’t even notice at all
Alwin saw Viscount Andrea, who had been absent for a year, again in the living room.
“Good day! His Excellency the Viscount!”
“Welcome home, Captain Alwin!”
After greeting, Alwin sat in the guest’s seat, watching Facing the old man in aristocratic attire, he suddenly noticed that the changes were slightly different from other friends. The Viscount was obviously much older than a year ago.
Although the sitting posture is still majestic, upright, and rigid, it is far from the oppression of a year ago.
“As an experienced old man, I saw your eyes a year ago, and I felt that sooner or later you would win your own merits and honors.
didn’t expect just In just one year, you have not only successfully advanced to extraordinary, but even sat in the position of the captain of the Level 6 ship!
Old, really old. I can’t see the depth of the youngster now.”
The Viscount looked at the heroic young naval officer in front of him, and seemed to sigh with emotion.
On the opposite side of him, Alwin’s eyes were as good as the cloud and mud compared to the past, and he had long seen that His Excellency the Viscount was just an ordinary official Knight.
At least on the extraordinary level, the self a year ago had to look up, but now he can look down on it lightly.
For the Knights, their physical ferocity has allowed them to gain physical fitness far beyond ordinary people, but the speed of consumption has also accelerated. Even if the extraordinary transformation is completed, the lifespan will not actually be much longer than the ordinary person.
It’s just that the body is healthier and stronger, far from being beyond birth, aging, sickness and death.
That’s the case with the Garriott family in Alwin.
Barons in all dynasties are basically extraordinary Knights. As adventurers in the bones, they do not lack firm will and extraordinary courage to break through. But in just about 170 years of family history, hasn’t it changed eight Barons like a revolving beacon?
Only after awakening the Knight’s extraordinary energy “Battle Qi” at the “Great Knight” level, and their spirit and body form a certain unity, the lifespan can be significantly increased. The average lifespan of “Great Knight” can reach 150 years old, and it is not uncommon for people to take care of them and live to 200 years old.
And wait until the “title Knight” has formed a qualitative change, even the Knight path that does not pay attention to lifespan, can easily live hundreds of years old, it is no joke to sit and watch the rise and fall of a kingdom.
However, seeing the obviously old Viscount at this time, Alwin was only a little emotional. He was still young and thought those things were a little far away.
“His Excellency the Viscount is overrated, and I would also like to thank you for your generous help!”
Alwin’s words came from the bottom of his heart. With that “recommendation letter”, I am afraid that my road to joining the army will reach another turning point. It is really difficult to say whether I can achieve the current results.
“No need to thank you, it’s just a letter of recommendation. If you don’t have talent, that letter is just a piece of waste paper.
About half a year ago, I saw it A Becquerel Post. It also has the name of Major ‘Alwin Garriott’ on it. I thought it was the same name, but seeing you now, I have no doubts.
Obviously, Even without my help, your name will echo on this sea!”
Looking like a sigh, the Viscount seemed to have some normal old man’s feelings at this time. And to Alwin, who is already a naval captain, the Viscount is impossible to be as casual as he used to be.
Slightly smiled Without continuing to be modest, Alwin took a sip of High Level’s black tea, at least this was the treatment he had never received when he came here last time.
The confidence brought by his strength and identity made him not at all restrained, even the viscount who was rigid, strict and inhumane now feels as it should be by rights and should be so.
dong dong dong
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The old man, slightly frowned, even bothered when he knew he was meeting guests. Are these guys already so unruly? However, don’t get angry in front of the guests.
He shouted with a stern face:
“What’s the matter? Come in.”
To his surprise, the person who came in after pushing the door was not City hall clerks, but their own steward!
“Master!”
Steward, who was in a hurry, was a little messy at this time, which was unimaginable in a noble family who attached great importance to etiquette.
After entering the door, although he did not run, he rushed all the way to the Viscount at the fastest speed. Obviously, some troublesome things had made him unable to care about these details.
He even ignored the guest Alwin for a while, and whispered in the ear of the Viscount: “Master, I just received news from the tern that our ‘Twin-tailed Fish’ was hijacked by pirates. ”
hearing this, the Viscount’s hand shook slightly and knocked over the exquisite tea set at hand, the bright red tea soup was sprinkled all over the ground, and the calm and composed face that had been cultivated for decades was also broken in an instant. achievement.
“Are you sure it’s the ‘Two-tailed Fish’?” His eyes widened, and the old man’s voice was unusually rapid.
“Can’t be wrong, it was a message from the captain of the ‘Twintail’ before he was captured by the pirates.
There’s just something odd about the intel, even though they carried on They resisted and killed the pirates.
However, the pirates’ artillery counterattack was not intense, as if they were trying to capture everyone alive, and we don’t know what happened after that.”
Steward did not dare to hide any details, and he knew the style of his master’s behavior, and he never wanted to influence his judgment for his own reasons.
Bang——
The old but still strong palm slapped the table hard.
“hmph, of course they want to capture the crew alive! Do they want the goods? What they want is my life!
Okay, they want the loot and the Get it!
The fat pig in Wescole has been completely ripped off to get me off the Wakeshire MP!”
Lian Viscount Such a stereotypical old man was so lost in self-control, which made Alwin wonder what was on that ship. After all, with what he knew about the old man’s net worth, even if he lost a load of goods, it would not look like this kind of almost flustered and exasperated.
“Master, what are we going to do now? Those goods”
Steward rarely sees a master in this state. He knows what’s on the boat and knows that the situation is too unfavorable for his side , cautiously asked.
“Since they have already made a move, it is naturally impossible to give us time to react. Maybe soon “just” there will be a military patrol ship “running into” the pirates?
Ships seized from pirates are naturally not protected by noble privileges, and can be searched just and honorable to directly characterize the matter from a legal point of view.
And in the end, it can be pushed to the navy for normal inspections , to get yourself thoroughly, except for hiring pirates and tipping off, there is no loss at all!”
The viscount’s eyes were flickering with rays of light as ferocious as an old wolf. A moment of hesitation:
“We must get the ship back before the navy finds that shipment. The safest way is to deal with the pirates together!”
Alwin next to him just At first, he listened to the troubles the Viscount encountered with a bystander mentality. However, he soon realized that how could the old man of the Viscount tell this kind of secret, just and honorable, which obviously involved some kind of “contraband”, in front of him?
These latter words are clearly meant for myself!
And unless the other party has the ability to directly buy the navy’s advance arrangement, it will seamlessly “cooperate” with the pirates. If you want to say which naval cruise ship in the vicinity Sea Territory is the closest at this time, isn’t it your own “Conch”? Looking for someone to settle the pirates, how could there be a more suitable candidate than yourself?
This old man may have a spare armed merchant ship in his hand, but whether he can catch up with the pirates and whether he can beat the pirates is still two things. The old fox is obviously just trying to make himself stand out!
Alwin quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Is it necessary for him to intervene in this apparently local power struggle for the old Viscount?
At this time, there is no Geer Uncle as a life mentor for himself, and any decision he makes needs to be borne by himself.
It is also a test of the decisiveness of the captain!
Although I have some personal friends with the old man, the pursuit of pirates involves a joint operation of more than 100 people on the entire battleship, and I need to be responsible for the lives of the naval command and the crew.
It is not necessary to be too clear between public and private, but
this time.
The old man saw Alwin suddenly look up, and those eyes that were looking straight at him almost glowing. For some reason, I suddenly thought of what I looked like when I was young when I was a big (keng), a (meng), a (guai), and a (pian) who earned the first pot of gold without relying on the family.
Suddenly there was a chill on the neck.
“Uh”
