Chapter 169

Leopold town hall, reception room.

When he came here again a year later, Elvin's mood was completely different from that of meeting the Viscount for the first time.

Led here by the Lord himself.

Elvin even enjoyed the furnishings in the living room of the meeting. Apart from the expensive furniture and oil paintings on the wall, a weapon rack placed in a corner of the room was full of lance, shield and sword, which showed the fact that the Viscount family was a military nobility all the time.

However, when Elvin came here for the first time, he didn't even notice...

in the reception hall, Elvin met Viscount Andrea, who had been away for a year.

"Good day! Your excellency

"Welcome home, Captain Evan!"

After greeting, Elvin sits in the guest's seat and looks at the old man in the aristocratic dress opposite him. Suddenly, he finds that there are subtle changes different from other friends. The Viscount is much older than a year ago.

Although the sitting posture is still dignified, upright and rigid, it is far less oppressive than a year ago.

"As an experienced old man, when I saw your eyes a year ago, I thought you would win your own merits and honor sooner or later.

I didn't expect that in just one year, you have not only successfully advanced to extraordinary level, but also been the captain of a class 6 warship!

Old, really old. I can't see through the depth of young people now. "

The Viscount looked at the handsome young naval officer in front of him. He seemed to sigh with emotion.

On the other side of him, his eyes were as good as those of cloud and mud. Elvin had already seen that the Viscount was just an ordinary official knight.

At least in the extraordinary level, I had to look up to myself a year ago, but now I can look down faintly.

For the knight Road, the physical ferocity makes them obtain far more physical quality than ordinary people, but the speed of consumption is also accelerating. Even if the extraordinary transformation is completed, the life expectancy of an increase and a decrease will not be much longer than that of an ordinary person.

It's just that the body is healthier and stronger, which is far from beyond the level of birth, aging and death.

This is the case with Elvin's Garriott family.

Barons of all ages are basically extraordinary knights. As adventurers in their bones, they do not lack firm will and extraordinary courage to make breakthroughs. But in the short history of 170 years or so, eight barons have been replaced?

Only when the knight's extraordinary energy "fighting spirit" is awakened at the "Grand Knight" level, their spirit and body form a certain integration, and their life span can be significantly increased. The average life span of "big Knight" can reach 150 years old, and it is not without paying attention to maintenance and living to 200 years old.

When the "Knights of titles" have formed a qualitative change, even if they don't pay attention to the life span of knights, they can easily live for hundreds of years. It's no joke to watch the rise and fall of a kingdom.

However, seeing the obviously old Viscount at this time, Elvin just had some feelings. He was still young and thought that those things were still far away.

"The Viscount is very much praised. I also want to thank you for your generous help."

AI Wen's words come from the bottom of his heart. If he didn't have the "yellow swan" and the "letter of recommendation" when he joined the army, I'm afraid he would have gone to another turning point in his military career. It's really hard to say whether he could have achieved his present achievements.

"Thank you. It's just a letter of recommendation. If you don't have talent, that letter is just a scrap of paper.

About half a year ago, I saw a copy of the beckler post. There's also the name of major Elvin Garriott on it. I thought it was a duplicate name before, but seeing you now, I have no doubt about it.

Obviously, even without my help, your name will ring back on the sea

It seems to be a sigh, but the Viscount has a kind of normal old man's feeling at this time. Moreover, the Viscount can no longer treat Ivan as casually as he once did.

With a little smile and no further modesty, Elvin sipped a sip of superior black tea. At least this was the treatment she had never had when she came here last time.

The strength and identity brought him no formality. Even the Viscount, who had always been rigid, severe and inhumane, took it for granted and should have been.

Dong Dong Dong...

at this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The old man frowned slightly. Knowing that he was meeting guests, he even bothered. Are these guys so unruly? However, you can't get angry in front of the guests.

"What's the matter? Come in

To his surprise, the man who came in after pushing the door was not the clerk of the city hall, but his own housekeeper!

"Master!"

In a hurry, the housekeeper's clothes were a little messy at this time, which was unimaginable in the noble families that attached importance to etiquette.

After entering the door, although he did not run, he also sped all the way to the Viscount with the fastest speed. It was obvious that some thorny things had made him ignore these details.He even ignored Elvin for a while and whispered in the Viscount's ear: "Sir, we have just received the message from the terns that our" two tailed fish "has been hijacked by pirates."

Hearing this, the Viscount's hand trembled slightly, overturned the exquisite tea set at hand, scattered the bright red tea soup all over the floor, and the face of Gujing wubo, which had been cultivated for decades, was broken in an instant.

"Are you sure it's the two tailed fish?" His eyes suddenly widened, and the old man's voice was unusually rapid.

"It can't be wrong. It's the message sent by the captain of the two tailed fish before he was captured by pirates.

But there is something strange in the intelligence. Even if they resisted, they also killed the pirates.

However, the attack of the pirates was not fierce, such as the idea of capturing everyone alive. We don't know what happened after that... "

the housekeeper didn't dare to hide any details. He knew his master's behavior style well, and never wanted to influence his master's judgment for his own reasons.

Bang -

the old man clapped the table with his powerful hand.

"Well, of course they want to catch the crew alive! What do they want? What they want is my life!

OK, I want to get the stolen goods!

In order to get me out of the wickshire councillor's seat, the fat pig in weskol has been completely skinned

Even such a rigid old man as the Viscount was so impolite, which made Elvin curious about what was on the ship. After all, with his knowledge of the old man's wealth, even if he lost a ship of goods, he would not be in such a state of being almost in a hurry.

"Sir, what shall we do now? Those goods... "

the housekeeper seldom sees the master in this state. He knows what's on the ship. He knows that the situation is too bad for his side and asks carefully.

"Since they have already made a move, it is impossible for them to give us time to react. Maybe soon there will be a military patrol ship "Encountering" pirates?

The ships seized from pirates naturally need not be protected by the privileges of the nobility. They can be searched openly and justly, and the matter can be determined directly from the legal principle.

In the end, it can be pushed to the normal patrol of the Navy, and it can get rid of itself completely. Except for hiring pirates and divulging information, there is no loss at all! "

The eyes of the Viscount were as fierce as the eyes of an old wolf, which was related to his life. He could not help hesitating for a moment:

"we must take back the ship in advance before the Navy finds the goods. The safest way is to solve it together with the pirates!"

At the beginning, Ivan listened to the Viscount's troubles as a spectator. However, he soon realized that how could the sophistication of the Viscount tell this kind of secret which was obviously related to some kind of "contraband" to his own face?

After these words are clearly said to listen to their own!

And unless the other side has the ability to directly bribe the navy to arrange in advance, and the pirates "cooperate" seamlessly. If you want to say which naval cruiser is closest to you in the nearby waters at this time, isn't it your own "conch"? Looking for someone to deal with pirates, which is more suitable than himself?

The old man may have a spare armed merchant ship in his hand, but whether he can chase the Shanghai pirates and whether he can fight them or not is still a matter of two. It's obvious that the old fox is trying to get ahead of himself!

Evan quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Is it necessary for him to get involved in the local power struggle for Lao Tzu Jue?

At this time, there is no uncle Geer to be his life mentor. Any decision he makes needs to bear the consequences.

The test is also the determination of the captain!

Although I have some personal relations with the old man, the pursuit of Pirates involves the joint operation of more than 100 people on the whole warship, and I need to be responsible for the lives of the naval headquarters and the crew.

Although it is not necessary to be too clear between public and private, but...

at this time.

The old man saw that Elvin suddenly looked up, and the eyes that looked directly at him almost glowing. I don't know why I suddenly thought of the way I was when I was young, when I didn't rely on my family to earn the first pot of money.

There was a sudden chill in my neck.

"Er..."
