Transcendent Journey

Leopold City Hall, reception room.

I came here again after a year, and Ivan’s feelings of meeting the Viscount for the first time are completely different.

Be led by the Lord himself to enter here.

Ivan even has a leisure time to appreciate the furnishings of the living room, not to mention the precious furniture and the oil painting on the wall, a weapon rack placed in the corner of the room is full of lances, shields, and swords. The fact that the Viscount’s family is a martial nobleman is always manifested all the time.

And all this, when Ivan came here for the first time, I didn’t notice it…

In the living room, Ivan saw Andri again after a year’s absence. Ya Viscount.

“Good day! Your Excellency, Viscount!”

“Welcome home, Captain Ivan!”

After greetings, Ivan sat in the position of the guest, watching Looking at the old man in aristocratic dress, he suddenly realized that the changes were subtle from the other friends. The Viscount Master was obviously much older than a year ago.

Although the sitting posture is still majestic, upright, and rigid, it is far from the profound oppression that was a year ago.

“As an experienced old man, I saw your eyes a year ago, I think you can win your own merits and honor sooner or later.

didn’t expect just In just one year, you have not only successfully advanced transcendent, but even sat in the position of the sixth-tier captain!

I’m old, really old. I can’t see the depth of the youngster now.”

The Viscount looked at the heroic young navy officer in front of him, and he seemed to sigh with emotion.

Opposite him, Ivan, whose vision is comparable to that of worlds apart, has long seen that the Viscount is just an ordinary official Knight.

At least at the transcendent level, I had to look up a year ago, but now I can look down lightly.

For Knight’s road, the violent physicality gave them a physical quality far beyond ordinary people, but the rate of consumption also accelerated. Even if the transcendent transformation is completed, one increase and one decrease of lifespan is actually not much longer than the ordinary person.

It’s just that the body is healthier and stronger, far from beyond birth, aging, sickness and death.

Ivan’s Garrett family is like this.

Barons in the past are basically transcendent Knights. As adventurers in the bones, they do not lack the firm will and the courage of transcendent to make breakthroughs. But in just about 170 years of family history, hasn’t the eight Barons changed like a whirlwind?

Only after awakening Knight’s transcendent energy “Battle Qi” at the “Great Knight” level, their mind and body form a certain integration, and their lifespan can be significantly increased. The average lifespan of “Great Knight” can reach 150 years old, and it is not uncommon for them to live to 200 years old.

Wait until the “title of Knight” has formed a qualitative change, even the Knight path that does not pay attention to lifespan can easily live through hundreds of years. It is no joke to sit and watch the rise and fall of a kingdom.

However, seeing the obviously old Viscount at this time, Ivan was only a little emotional. He was still young and thought that those things were still a little far away.

“Your Excellency, the Viscount, I would also like to thank you for your generous help!”

Ivan’s words came from the bottom of my heart. That “recommendation letter”, I am afraid that my road to the military will go to another turning point. It is really hard to say whether I can have the current results.

“Thank you, it’s just a letter of recommendation. If you don’t have the talent, the letter is just a piece of waste paper.

About half a year ago, I saw it A copy of the “Becker Post.” It also has the name of Major’Ivan Garrett’. Before I thought it was the same name, but seeing you now, I have no doubt about it.

Obviously, Even without my help, your name will be echoed in this sea!”

It seems to be embarrassed, but the Viscount now looks like a normal old man. And to Ivan, who is already the captain of the navy, the Viscount is also impossible to be as casual as before.

Slightly smiled did not continue to be humble, Ivan lightly took a sip of the finest black tea, at least this was the treatment I had never received when I came here last time.

The confidence brought by his strength and identity made him not restrained at all. Even the viscount, who is rigid, strict, and impersonal, now feels as it should be by rights.

dong dong dong …

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The old man is slightly frowned, knowing that he is still disturbing when he meets guests, are these guys so unruly? However, they can’t get angry in front of the guests.

Strictly shouted:

“What’s the matter? Come in.”

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

“Master!”

The steward is in a hurry. The clothes are slightly messy at this time, which is simply unimaginable in aristocratic families who value etiquette.

After entering the door, although he did not run, he rushed all the way to the Viscount at the fastest speed. Obviously some tricky things have made him forget these details.

He even temporarily ignored Ivan, the guest, and whispered in the ear of the Viscount: “Master, just received the news from Tern that our’Two Tail’ was hijacked by pirates. “

hearing this, the Viscount’s hand slightly overturned the exquisite tea set at hand, the bright red tea soup was scattered all over the floor, and the calm and composed face that had been cultivated for decades was also broken in an instant. Work.

“Are you sure it’s the’Two-Tailed Fish’?” His eyes widened suddenly, and the old man’s voice was unusually rapid.

“It can’t be wrong, it’s the message sent by the captain of the Twintail before he was captured by the pirates.

It’s just that there’s something strange in the intelligence, even if they do After resisting, it also caused damage to the pirates.

But the pirate’s artillery counterattack was not fierce, like the idea of ​​capturing everyone alive. We don’t know what happened afterwards…”

Steward didn’t dare to conceal any details. He knew his master’s style of behavior, and never wanted to influence the master’s judgment for his own reasons.

Boom——

The old man’s old but still strong palm patted the table vigorously.

“hmph, of course they want to capture the crew alive! Do they want the goods? What they want is my life!

Okay, I want someone to spoil me Got it!

In order to drive me off from the position of Wake County Councillor, the fat pig in Wiscoll City has completely torn off its skin!”

Lian Viscount Such rigid old people lost self-control so much, which made Ivan curious about what was on the ship. After all, based on his knowledge of the old man’s wealth, even if he loses a shipment of cargo, he will not look almost flustered and exasperated.

“Master, what shall we do now? Those goods…”

Steward rarely sees the master in this state. He who understands what is on the ship knows that the situation is on his side. Too bad, cautiously asked.

“Since they have taken action, it is naturally impossible to give us time to react. Maybe soon there will be a military patrol ship “encounter” the pirate, right?

Ships seized from pirates, naturally, do not need to be protected by the privileges of nobles, and can be searched just and honorable, and the matter can be directly qualitatively legally determined.

Finally, it can be pushed to the navy for normal inspections. , I picked myself thoroughly, except for hiring pirates and whistleblowing, there was no loss at all!”

The eyes of the Viscount flashed with the ferocious rays of light like an old wolf. It is a matter of life, so he can’t help it. Hesitated for a moment:

“We must take the ship back in advance before the navy can find the cargo. The safest way is to deal with the pirates!”

Ivan Gang next to me At first, he listened to the troubles the Viscount encountered with the mind of a bystander. But soon he realized that how could the Viscount’s Lao Lao just and honorable tell this secret that obviously involves some kind of “prohibited goods” in front of him?

The latter words are clearly meant for myself!

And unless the opponent has the ability to directly buy into the navy to arrange in advance, seamlessly connect with the pirates. If you want to say which naval cruiser is closest to in the vicinity at this time, isn’t it your own “Conch”? Find someone to deal with the pirates, how can there be a more suitable candidate than yourself?

This old man may have a spare armed merchant ship in his hand, but he can catch up with the pirates and whether he can catch up with the pirates. The old fox is obviously an idea to make himself stand out!

Ivan quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Is it necessary for him to intervene in this kind of obviously local power struggle for the old Viscount?

At this time, there is no Uncle Gehr as his life mentor. Any decision he makes has to bear the consequences.

The test is also the determination of the captain!

Although I have some personal relationships with the old man, chasing pirates involves a joint operation of more than a hundred people in the entire battleship, and I am responsible for the lives of the navy command and the crew.

Although there is no need to be too clear between public and private, but…

At this time.

The old man saw Ivan suddenly look up, and the almost glowing eyes looking straight at him. For some reason, it suddenly occurred to me when I was young when I was young (keng) (meng) (guai) and feet (pian) without relying on the family to earn the first pot of gold.

Suddenly, there is a chill on the neck.

“Uh…”
