Transcendent Journey

Then Ivan got up and saluted gracefully, then turned and left with Gram.

Gram followed Ivan out of the outpost, which was a little unclear.

In his opinion, the meeting today was simply unnutritive. He talked about topics that he didn’t understand. On the contrary, he was most concerned about the reward for Ivan. From the beginning to the end, neither of the parties mentioned anything.

Let him don’t be impatient, Ivan knows this is the way traditional aristocrats act.

For the sake of the face of both parties and the decency of the nobility, Nabri will not take the initiative to talk about the bounty issue naked, and the same is true for the Garrett family, a century-old nobleman.

Compared with the new aristocracy who must talk about money with opened mouth, closed mouth, we can’t say who is good and who is bad, but the criteria for doing things are different.

Sure enough.

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 an ordinary-looking but well-forged half-handed sword.

“Your Excellency Ivan, this is a personal gift from Lord Lord. Please accept it. I wish you good luck and prosperity!”

Ivan sword technique is good, of course I also know swords .

Grandfather Leo, who was once an official Knight, had a transcendent-level saber, but unfortunately, it was already lost when he fled.

What he uses now is only ordinary goods forged in the blacksmith’s shop, which is incomparable to military supplies, which are exquisite products that have nowhere to buy. If he had such a sword in his hand when fighting the black bear, he would dare to meet force with force with the black bear 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 Gram.

Before the two separated, Ivan took out five Golden Lions and stuffed them to Gram. This guy smiled immediately. Didn’t expect to have a share of his own, so he took it after two resignations.

Ivan’s code of conduct is very modern. The more friends you are, the less you can do selfish calculations on money-related matters. After all, Gram took the risk with himself today, and the credit for introducing Sir Nabry is totally worth the reward of these five Golden Lions.

Looking back, Gram can still receive a reward for wartime conscription in the government, which should be able to match his income for half a year. It can be called a plentiful harvest.

……

The next day, the originally expected journey failed.

As it should be by rights, 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 knows that Falitis Kingdom and Ilia, his home country, which has little impression of him, also have disputes between old and new nobles.

But Falitis has a strong Imperial Family, which firmly controls the country’s highest military force and more than 80% of the professional army, acting as the adjudicator of aloof and remote as the referee.

Years ago, we used brilliant skills to straighten out all the forces in the country, both old and new.

Establish an iron order to suppress all unstable factors under the throne of Queen Your Majesty. No matter what the struggle is, you must abide by the rules set by Queen Your Majesty to minimize internal friction.

At the same time, the Imperial Family used the contradiction between the Fiefdom aristocracy and the emerging aristocracy to transform it into its own opportunity.

Cooperate with emerging aristocrats and the bourgeoisie to gradually erode the land of the old Fiefdom aristocrats through the urbanization movement; enter into a contract with the old aristocracy to occupy a place in the emerging city and obtain far more economically rich land than the closed manor interest.

At the same time, through the continuous development of new routes and overseas colonies, all parties are tied to their own war chariots. No matter how strong the parties are, the Imperial Family and the Kingdom are the biggest beneficiaries and will always be invincible. place!

After a generation of hard work, Falitis has become a regional power and has a great say in the Tulip Alliance.

Consultant Viscount Andrea is a former Fiefdom aristocrat who has been very successful in transition under this background. 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. Ivan’s past life impressions of all the characteristics of Western aristocrats can be found in him. He is rigid, strict, and uncomfortable. He is a very typical Upper person.

In the face of Ivan, who is not well-known, the words are simple and direct:

“Although Nabry has reported your situation to me, I still want to ask you in person Thoughts. Would you like to join my Leopold city and become a member of the City Guard?”

Under the extremely stressed eyes of the elderly, Ivan brace oneself said:

“Leopold is you The city is also my hometown. Defending my hometown is my mission as it should be by rights, but I still want to see the outside world while I’m young.”

See what Ivan sees Sincere and firm, the old man’s sharp eagle-like gaze eases slightly, and the corners of his stone-sculpted mouth have a slight curve.

“Okay.

Although it is very regrettable. But as an old man, I can understand the thoughts of young eagles, and I always want to measure the sky is how high with my own wings. How far is the sea.

If you want to come back, Leopold is your forever home, child!”

“Thank you, sir! Thank you very much for your understanding.” No matter has several points Of sincerely, it is very rare to say such a thing as an elderly person, and Ivan does not feel offended.

Even if he could not accept his good intentions, Ivan still got up and gave him a salute deeply.

The old man waved his hand to make Ivan sit down again, and turned the signet ring on his hand and said casually:

“I heard that you have the idea of ​​joining the Royal Navy? I have already written one for you. The recommendation letter, 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, Ivan took the letter paper with the coat of arms of the Senior clan in both hands, saluted again and left.

Then he ran out of the city hall as if fleeing.

Ivan shouted in his heart: “Although I don’t know what level he has reached, this old man is definitely a deeply hidden transcender. Facing him is more tiring than a bloody battle with pirates!”

Walking on the way back, today’s experience resurfaced scene by scene. Ivan lamented that the old aristocracy’s method is really not one drop of water can leak out.

Prepare the recommendation letter in advance, even if I can’t leave Ivan, but for a talent who grew up in Leopold and tends to favor the other side, naturally try to be kind.

It’s just no effort at all for the elderly, but in the future, even if Ivan 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 Ivan in less than a day? As a landlord, it is even stranger to not understand!

……

Ivan is intensively doing the final preparations before departure.

The other side of this pirate siege incident on the “Blood Anchor” pirate ship is another atmosphere.

The pirates looted from the siege and looted the ship last night. After counting the number of people, the entire pirate ship was enveloped by a low air pressure.

Zach the blood anchor is going crazy!

The looting failure and the navy’s stern pursuit made Captain Zack desperately in need of a brilliant victory to stabilize his position on the ship and eliminate the scum and villains on the ship. Stir ambition.

At the last time, we have to kill some of the thorns that have expressed their dissatisfaction on the surface, 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 himself of successive losses if he wants to. The dilemma of losing prestige.

Even to be on the safe side, the Blood Anchor Zach sent his loyal right-hand man “Billy the Sailor the Black Bear” to line up, thinking that he had done nothing wrong.

But after the landing troops returned to count the number of people, as many as 56 casualties made the blood anchor painful. You must know that because of the previous successive losses of personnel, the entire ship has only 130 pirates. Personal!

even more how, because the time for looting is limited, the spoils of war brought back by the pirates 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 own number one General, did not come back. Now even the hard-core crew members see his expressions all flashing, and the hearts of the people are more turbulent than before, and the blood anchor is sad. I almost vomit blood.

“Anchor, let’s rob the merchant ship!!!”
