Extraordinary Sailing

Bang——

The door of the reception room opened, and Ivan led Gary out of the reception room in strides.

The secret deal has been reached!

But looking at the painful expression on the face of the old Viscount who was delivered to the door, it was obvious that he had suffered a severe hemorrhage, which was not much different from real flesh cutting.

It's not that Aiwen doesn't miss old feelings, but as the captain, he has to give an explanation to his subordinates who put their lives on the mission. And the guy who can entrust others to do things is short of money?

The bad thing is the way!

If it was someone else, even if he waved a large amount of money to find him, he might not pay attention to such troublesome matters involving local power struggles.

After weighing it, it is basically impossible for the possible behind-the-scenes mastermind in this incident—the viscount's political opponents to fight in person. I was only doing official duties in hunting down pirates. Afterwards, the mere local nobles wanted to trouble me, the navy captain? His hands are not that long yet.

The most important thing is that Your Excellency the Viscount is very sincere, and even has such good things! Tsk tsk tsk Ivan is very satisfied with the transaction!

"By the way, I almost forgot." Suddenly thinking of something, Ivan turned around and looked at the Viscount.

"What are you doing? My family has been emptied by you!" The old man raised his head vigilantly, folded his arms around his chest subconsciously in a defensive posture, and said angrily with a dark face.

"Hahaha, Your Excellency the Viscount is like this, I dare not come next time. It is public or private, and I have prepared a gift when I come to visit Your Excellency the Viscount." As he said, Ai Wen had already handed the old man a gold-encrusted walnut box.

"This is?"

The Viscount was a little surprised that Ivan actually prepared a gift for himself?

With his status and age, it is difficult to see jewelry, wealth, BMW and beauties, but Ivan's gesture makes him very comfortable.

"Open it up, you'll like it."

The old man didn't pay much attention to the things in the box at first, and was just about to let the housekeeper put it away, but he didn't expect that Aiwen was very confident in his "gift", which made him a little bit interested.

For a while, even the "pain" of just being cut was temporarily forgotten.

Click——

The gold-encrusted box is quite exquisite, but I don't know if it is superficial. 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 magnificent red potion that looks like a bright sun.

The first impression upon seeing it is beauty! It's so beautiful!

The old man and the butler behind him showed obsessive expressions at the same time. Seeing it was like seeing the most precious treasure in the world. Just based on its appearance, even the most precious ruby ​​is less than one-tenth of it.

Snapped--

Suddenly, the old man reached out his hand and closed the lid quickly with a flash of light in his eyes, and carried the whole box in his arms like lightning.

He even carefully looked left and right to confirm that there was no one else at the door, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Excellency Aiwen! Is this medicine what I guessed?"

At this point, the old Viscount's address to Ai Wen has changed subtly, and his tone is even hasty and flattering.

"It's the kind of thing you think. However, this is my loot and only this bottle, just use it yourself and don't tell anyone. Otherwise, we will all be in trouble!"

"I understand, I understand." Although he was a little disappointed to learn that only this bottle was available, he also knew that one should not be too greedy. It is a great blessing to enjoy a bottle of this kind of thing, and he dare not have it again. Extravagant.

It's no wonder the old man behaved like this. The box contained a bottle of "Immaculate Holy Blood" that he had accidentally obtained from the stronghold of the "Blood Hand Gang". I haven't thought about how to deal with it before, and now I just reciprocate and give it to the Viscount.

Because the action of pretending to be "Zorro" to go to the bloody hand to help sweep the autumn wind was interrupted by the "killer" incident, this bottle of "Flawless Holy Blood" was also the only bottle in his hand.

It has the magical effect of restoring human body functions and prolonging life in disguise. Although the use is narrow, it is only useful to elderly ordinary people and low-level transcendents, and the range is not very large.

But for the Viscount who is already an old man, it is a treasure that cannot be exchanged for a thousand dollars! "People have no money and haven't spent it" is an unimaginable pain for those who have not experienced it

If the item that the Viscount gave at the end was not too much to his liking, he might not be willing to give away such a good thing.

Sending off Aiwen and his party, the old Viscount stroked the wooden box in his arms and his heart was hot. His bad mood because of the hijacking of the "smuggling ship" and the subsequent hemorrhage was swept away at this time.

"Help me call Lord Nebry here, as quickly as possible."

"Obey, my lord!" The butler took the order and left.

After a while, it was still the original living room.

The Consul, Viscount Andrea, and the Chief of the City Guard, Lord Nabri, sat on both sides, but a young man who was a little at a loss stood between them.

The two stared at Graham for a while, and finally the Viscount spoke first:

"I remember that there is a temporary vacancy for the captain of the third team of the City Guard, Graeme, you can act as the captain of the team in the future. What do you think, Sir Nabri?"

"Your Excellency the Consul, I think this appointment is very reasonable. And I think the quality of the wound medicine from the 'Baishi Pharmacy' is good, and the city guards can appropriately increase their purchases and maintain a long-term cooperative relationship."

"Well, let's do it this way." The Viscount waved his hand and made a nod.

"ah?"

The dizzy Graham didn't say a word. When he walked out of the viscount's living room, he had already been promoted from an ordinary soldier to a small captain of the city guard.

When Ivan and Gary returned to the "Conch", there was already a carriage parked here that was heavily guarded by ten noble private soldiers in armor.

Seeing the arrival of Ai Wen, who was wearing a school officer's uniform, the leading steward hurriedly walked up to him.

"Dear Captain! I was ordered to hand over this thing to you. Do you need us to help you carry it to the ship?"

Ivan was not surprised at all about their arrival, which was part of the deal with the old Viscount. So he nodded, not bothering the two masters: "Thank you for your hard work."

Soon, the plank on the "Conch" was lowered. Under the command of the first mate Borg who rushed over after hearing the news, several private soldiers of the nobles worked together to move a heavy "cargo" on the carriage that was more than two meters wrapped tightly in canvas to the ship.

Then these people didn't say anything, and left in a hurry after saluting.

"Mr. Chief Mate, go and call our boys back as soon as possible, we have a new mission!"

"Follow your orders, Your Excellency Captain!" After saluting, Borg arranged for the remaining sailors to go ashore and 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 and put this 'baby' on our 'Conch'."

Speaking of which, Aiwen lifted the canvas on the "cargo", revealing a wooden statue below, more precisely, a figurehead!

It was a beautiful woman whose face was slightly blurred and whose clothes fluttered like wind and veil.

In this era, the "ship head portrait" as a kind of spiritual sustenance and ship decoration of sailors generally existed on merchant ships, warships and even pirate ships. Usually animals, totems, and gods are used as prototypes to pray for the protection of gods and the sea, and it is also a manifestation of the collective struggle spirit of the crew on a ship.

However, most of the "figures" 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 treasures that have been pressed by nobles for hundreds of years naturally have their special features!

Figure of the Ship · Monsoon Goddess (Witchcraft Creation): It is a constant passive effect of the ship. The speed of the ship with the wind can increase by up to 30% over time, and the speed of the ship with the wind can increase by up to 20% over time, and the increase will return to zero when there is no wind .

The effect is simple and straightforward, yet very functional.

And it doesn't need any consumption, as long as it is placed on the bow, it can take effect passively. The preconditions are not relying on oars or waves, as long as there is wind
