Chapter 170 Monsoon Goddess
Bang——
The door to the reception room opened, and Alwin led Gary out with great strides Meeting room.
The secret deal has been made!
But looking at the pained expression on the face of the old Viscount who was sent to the door, it was obvious that Fiercely had suffered a heavy bleeding, which was not much different from the real meat cutting.
It’s not that Alwin doesn’t remember his old feelings, but as the captain himself, he can’t help but give an explanation to the subordinates who are performing tasks with their lives. And the guy who can entrust people to do things is bad for money?
The worst is the way!
If it was someone else, even if he came over with a large amount of money, he might not care about this troublesome matter involving local power struggles.
After weighing, the possible secret mastermind in this incident, the political opponent of the Viscount, is basically impossible to fight in person. The pursuit of the pirates is only on official business. Afterwards, the trifling local nobles want to trouble him, the navy captain? His hands are not that long yet.
The most important thing is that His Excellency the Viscount is very sincere, even having that kind of good stuff! tsk tsk tsk Alwin Very happy with the deal!
“That’s right, I almost forgot.” Suddenly thinking of something, Alwin turned to look at the Viscount.
“What are you doing? My family property has been hollowed out by you!” The old man raised his head vigilantly, put his arms around his chest subconsciously in a defensive posture, and said angrily with a dark face.
“Hahaha, Viscount Your Excellency is like this, I won’t dare to come next time. It’s public or private. I came to visit His Excellency Viscount, but I also prepared a gift.” Alwin handed it to the old man. A golden walnut wooden box.
“This is?”
The Viscount was a little surprised that Alwin actually prepared a gift for himself?
With his status and age, it’s hard to see any jewelry, wealth, BMW beauty, but Alwin’s gesture makes him very comfortable.
“Open it and take a look, you will like it.”
The old man didn’t care much about the contents of the box at first, and was about to let Steward put it away, didn’t expect Alwin He was very confident in his “gift”, which made him a little interested.
For a while, I even forgot the “pain” that I had just been cut.
Click-
The gold-encrusted box is very beautiful, but I don’t know if it’s just for nothing. Reaching out to lift the lid of the box, the box is covered with a layer of anti-collision blue velvet cloth, and in the middle of the velvet cloth lies a bottle of red potion that is as magnificent as the bright rays of the sun.
The first impression of seeing it is beauty! It’s so beautiful!
The old man and the steward behind him looked obsessed at the same time. Seeing it was like seeing the most precious treasure in the world. Even the precious ruby was less than one-tenth of it based on appearance alone.
Pop——
Suddenly, the light flashed in the eyes of the old man, he quickly reached out and closed the lid, and put the whole box in his arms like lightning.
I even looked left and right cautiously to make sure there was no one else at the door, and then lightly sighed in relief.
“Your Excellency Alwin! Is this medicine the kind of thing I guess?”
Here, the old Viscount’s name for Alwin changed slightly, and even his tone was hurried and faint. With a hint of compliment.
“It’s what you think. However, this is my only bottle of spills of war. Just use it yourself and don’t tell anyone. Otherwise, we will all be in trouble!”
“I understand, I understand.” Although he was slightly disappointed to learn that there was only one bottle, he also knew that being a person should not be too greedy, that this thing can enjoy a bottle of Good Fortune, which is already great, no Dare to be extravagant.
No wonder the old man behaved like this, the box contained a bottle of “Flawless Holy Blood” that was accidentally obtained from the “Bloodhand Gang” stronghold. I hadn’t figured out how to deal with it before, but now I just gave it back to the Viscount.
Because at that time, the action of disguising as “Zorro” to go to the Bloodhand Gang to sweep the autumn wind was interrupted by the “murderer” incident at the beginning. This bottle of “Flawless Holy Blood” is also the only bottle in his hand. .
It has the magical effect of restoring human body function and prolonging life in disguise. Although the use is narrow, it is only useful for the elderly ordinary person and low-level transcender, and the magnitude is not very large.
But for the viscount who is already an old man, it is the Supreme Treasure that cannot be exchanged for money! “People have no money and haven’t spent it all” is unimaginable pain for people who have never experienced it
If it wasn’t for the thing that the Viscount gave at the end was too much to his heart, he might be reluctant to give it away Good stuff.
Sending off Alwin and his party, the old Viscount touched the wooden box in his arms with a burning heart, and the bad mood that had been caused by the hijacking of the “smuggling ship” and the subsequent hemorrhage was also swept away.
“Help me call Lord Nabry over here, as fast as you can.”
“Yes, sir!” Steward led the way.
After a while, it was the same living room.
Viscount Andrea, the consul, and Lord Nabry, the chief of the City Guard, sat on either side, but a youngster who was at a loss stood between them.
The two of them stared at Graeme at the same time for a while, and finally the Viscount spoke first:
“I remember the temporary vacancy of the Captain in the third squad of the City Guard, Graeme, you Let’s temporarily replace the squad Captain in the future. What do you think, Sir Nabry?”
“Your Excellency Archon, I think this appointment is very reasonable. And I think the quality of the wound medicine in ‘White Rock Pharmacy’ is good, City Guard can appropriately add big purchases to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship.”
“Well, let’s do it this way.” The Viscount waved his hand and made a direct decision.
“Huh?”
The dizzy Graeme didn’t say a word, but when he walked out of the Viscount’s living room, he had been promoted from an ordinary soldier to a City Guard Small Captain.
By the time Alwin and Gary returned to the Conch, a carriage, heavily guarded by ten armored noblemen’s private soldiers, was parked here.
Seeing the arrival of Alwin, who was clearly wearing a colonel’s uniform, the leading steward hurriedly took a few steps to meet him.
“Your Excellency Captain! I am instructed to hand this thing over to you, do you need us to help you carry it to the ship?”
Alwin was not surprised by their arrival , which was part of the deal with the old Viscount. So nodded, not bothering the two masters: “Thank you for your hard work.”
Soon, the deck on the “Conch” was put down. Under the command of the first mate Borg, who rushed over after hearing the news, several noble private soldiers worked together to move a heavy “cargo” wrapped in canvas over two meters on the carriage to the ship.
Then these people didn’t say anything, and hurried away after salute.
“Mr. Chief Officer, go and call our young men back as soon as possible, we have a new mission!”
“As ordered, Your Excellency Captain!” Borg saluted The sailors who were left behind were arranged to go ashore to call back all the sailors who were going to “repair”. After all, it was a short stay, and no one dared to run too far.
“Gary, come with me to replace this ‘baby’ with our ‘Conch’.”
Saying that, Alwin lifted the canvas on the ‘cargo’ to reveal the underside A wooden statue, more precisely a ship’s head!
It was a beautiful woman with a slightly fuzzy face and a fluttering jacket like the wind and a veil.
In this era, as a kind of spiritual sustenance and ship decoration for sailors, the “Ship Head Statue” generally existed on merchant ships, warships and even pirate ships. It is usually based on animals, totems, and gods, praying for the protection of gods and the sea, and it is also the embodiment of the collective struggle spirit of the crew on a ship.
However, the overwhelming majority “boat head portraits” are actually just decorations, and the comfort to the seafarers is far greater than the actual effect. The original bow of the “Conch” is the same, just an ordinary wooden sculpture.
However, the one sent by the Viscount just now is different! The treasure of hundreds of years of noble trump card, naturally has its special features!
Portrait·Monsoon Goddess (Witchcraft Creation): It is a constant passive effect for the ship, the speed of the downwind boat can be increased by up to 30% over time, and the speed of the upwind boat can be increased by up to 20% over time. , the increase will return to zero when there is no wind.
The effect is simple and straightforward, yet very useful.
And it does not require any consumption, as long as it is placed on the bow, it can be passively effective. The precondition is not relying on oars or waves, as long as there is wind.
