Den did not take the title of viscount in his eyes, but when the conferring ceremony really came, Tangke would inevitably feel ups and downs. Fortunately, he has experienced many big scenes, and his temperament is very incomparable. Suppressed and acted poised. Against the strong wind at a high place, he walked up the steps of "Climbing to the Sky" step by step.

There are three hundred and sixty-five steps on the roof, which are made of marble and are specially used to hold various royal ceremonies. Below the platform, stood four neat formations of soldiers, a total of 10,000 people. The soldiers were solemn and motionless. All they could hear was the sound of the wind and the sound of the blazing sun banner hunting.

Tangke felt the gaze from behind. He and Greenland were once enemies, but not anymore. It is unknown how long this honeymoon period will last, but it will not change in the short term, at least until the tsunami caused by Comansuo has passed before making plans.

At the top of the high platform is an open space of about 40 square meters. There are five people standing on it. In the center is the supreme Queen Isabel, surrounded by four neatly dressed royal knights.

Tangke knelt down on one knee, the golden sash on his shoulders dangled, the long cloak behind him was spread on the ground, and the special fabric on the edge was sparkling. He used the investigative technique in secret. The four knights were all sixth-order masters, but the queen was an ordinary person, only with a self-defense treasure on her body.

"Only in the name of the Holy Master, I will bow my head, accept the canonization of the king, and accept this glorious mission..." Tangke recited the canonization declaration back and forth, without any emotion in his tone.

Queen Isabel is already old, with pale hair under the jeweled crown, and her face is already covered with traces of age erosion, but those eyes are brighter and wiser than those of young people, full of people who dare not look directly. light. She took the long sword, a symbol of power, from the knight and held it up with her hand.

Tang Ke took the sword and wore it on one side of his waist, never raising his head too high. He is also a person of strength and status now, but compared with the Lord of a country, he is still far worse.

The queen took off another golden long sword with a cross-shaped hilt, placed the sword on Tangke's shoulder, and said in a noble and inviolable tone: "Before your enemies, there is no fear. Stand side by side with bravery. , so the Holy Master will love you... We will organize an invincible king division to create the glory of the empire together!"

Create the glory of the empire together!

Tens of thousands of soldiers under the stage let out a roar like a mountain and a tsunami. This roar slammed into Tangke's mind, causing him to have the illusion that he was really a part of the Greenland Empire.

The ceremony is over.

From this moment on, Tangke officially became a royal pirate. He wants to hide under the big tree in Greenland, waiting for his wings to grow. When the time comes, he will fly high.

In the evening, the queen held a banquet to celebrate Donk's becoming a viscount. Since Tangke was a foreign pirate, some old-fashioned princes and nobles did not come. Those who came to celebrate were all people who didn't mind being in the company of pirates.

In this day and age, piracy is not a profession that everyone despises. In particular, royal pirates can even gain the support of the people, because royal pirates specialize in looting enemy ships, which can bring wealth and glory to the country, just like the navy. Many nobles are friends with royal pirates, especially some girls who are pregnant, and they are deeply interested in the young and vigorous pirate chief.

The court musicians played refreshing songs, the table was full of delicate but uninterested food, the shì people walked around with their plates, and the distinguished guests gathered in twos and threes, ladies and gentlemen. The occasional silver bell-like chuckle.

"Listen to Emily, you are from the Five Continents in the East. Do you still have relatives in your hometown?" The Queen asked casually on the surface. She was holding a wine glass, but not a drop of wine.

Tangke looked at the queen's deep eyes, as if to be sucked in. He tried his best to imagine the queen as an ordinary person, and calmly replied, "I'm an orphan, and I don't have any relatives over there."

"Poor child, I have deep sympathy for your experience, and I hope you can find a home in the Greenland Empire." The Queen's eyelids were lowered and her eyes softened a little.

"I think so."

"It is a wise choice for you to join the Greenland Empire. We have the best geographical location among the five empires. Whether it is west or south, the Greenland Empire is more convenient than the other four countries. In terms of naval warfare tactics and naval systems, we are also better than The other four countries are more advanced. Because Greenland is an island country and is surrounded by sea, our attention has always been on the sea, which is fundamentally different from the other four countries. In the era of land warfare, the Greenland Empire could only admire the ocean, but the era of naval warfare has begun Now, the prosperity of the Greenland Empire is just around the corner."

"Because of this, I chose to join Greenland." Tangke nodded slightly, showing a gesture of submission, but in his heart he was thinking, when will he be able to compete with such a great empire.

The Queen nodded, then changed the subject.

"The five empires are in a race. Cormanthor is very advanced in firearms, and has recently developed a rear-loading gun. Kachia was a country of dwarves in ancient times, so it is good at metallurgy and can make excellent swords. , it can also add the lightest and toughest metal plate to the ship. Xiyao has a vast land, and there are many resources in the country. Among the five kingdoms, the most magic boats have been built. Longya once discovered a relic that recorded ancient technology. The manufacturing of technical weapons is even better. According to the report of the spies, Longya Kingdom is developing a magic weapon that consumes very few materials. Once it is successfully developed, it can be manufactured on a large scale." The queen looked at Tangke, "You know our country advantage?"

"Ordinary ships and ordinary artillery." Tangke answered quickly.

"Yes, our country is higher than the other four countries in the manufacturing level of ordinary boats. We are recently developing a new type of sailboat, which will surpass the current Galen type sailboats in terms of speed and stability. In terms of artillery shells, I am also urging the munitions factory to improve it." The Queen's eyes suddenly converged, "The five countries have their own strengths, in this competition, which country do you prefer?"

The most flattering answer is of course "Greenland Empire", but Tangke answered truthfully: "I can't make an accurate judgment, the situation at sea is too complicated, not only the national strength of each country, but also some individual units must be considered. The influence of the strong and powerful treasures."

The queen showed her eyes of approval: "It seems that you are an honest person. The king needs someone like you to help him. I hope you can do your best for the Greenland Empire in the future. I will pay attention to you. Once you make achievements, I will You will be promoted vigorously, and your talents will not be buried."

The Queen's attitude is obviously to win over Tangke. Tangke can speak directly about the question just now, but he still has to show commensurate joy to the olive branch that is stretched out.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love."

The queen smiled and said softly: "What a young man who is liked by the elderly."

"Your Majesty is wrong. Besides, you are still a long way from the title of an old man."

The Queen smiled a little more happily.

Tangke took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, I have an unkind request. Because my wife has a wound on her face, I want to ask you for some holy water that can remove scars."

Although Tangke's blood has the resilience of high-level holy water, it is one thing to heal wounds, and another to make scars disappear. In order to relieve Wendy's heart disease for many years, he had to take the opportunity to ask the Queen for this kind of holy water that is only available to the royal family.

"It's not difficult, I promise you. Do you have any other requests?" The queen showed great generosity.

"No, thank you Your Majesty for your royal gift."

"If you have nothing else to do, go chat with those girls. Chatting with me must make you feel suffocated."

"I follow His Majesty's orders, but it's actually very pleasant to chat with you." Tang Ke nodded, stepped back, then turned and walked towards the banquet hall. He found that many people's eyes were cast over him, after all, he was the protagonist of today. He raised his eyes slightly, taking a panoramic view of everyone in the room. Those girls with heavy makeup couldn't attract him. What he really cared about were several prominent figures in the house. Out of the corner of his eye, Emily was approaching, walking gracefully with her skirt swaying.

The dignified three heroes had no choice but to ignore it. Tangke turned to Emily, had a drink with the other party, and took a sip of wine.

"Didn't your wife come?" Emily asked. She was wearing a dark purple dress today, looking graceful and elegant, still carrying the sunshade in her hand. Although the parasol was out of tune with this banquet, the people around were so accustomed to Emily's habit that no one would be surprised.

"Are you asking about Elizabeth? She didn't follow." Tangke replied. This time he came to the imperial city to be sealed, and he only brought a few people with him, including Huālu and Wendy, while Iona and Elizabeth were still on Dragon Nest Island. The Imperial City is an inland city with a considerable distance from the port. Both of his ships are now in port, guarded by Dadarian and Erwin.

"Unfortunately, I quite like chatting with her." A smile flashed in Emily's eyes.

"I'll tell you this for you."

"Actually, I'm looking for her, not only for chatting, but also for other things."

"What happened?" Tangke's eyes widened a little.

Emily said eloquently: "I originally wanted to invite her to participate in a sightseeing activity. I made an appointment with a few aristocratic little sisters, and I will set off in three days to go to Yinghuā Island to see, there is a full-length film. The cherry tree forest is very beautiful, and it is called a place you must see once in your life."

"Is that so, Colonel, you're so intrigued. It's a pity that she's not here, so I can't accompany you."

"Not necessarily, if she didn't come, it might be a good thing." Emily's voice became more magnetic, "I wonder if you are interested in participating in this sightseeing activity? If you join, I think that Several noble sisters will be very happy."

This is a proposal of what kind of yòu people.

Tangke chuckled lightly, but unfortunately he did not have this blessing. First, he is going to collect the Resurrection Spring, and secondly, Emily is not someone who can go to the mountains and waters. Ninety percent of this proposal is just a test.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you again. I've just been promoted to Viscount. I have a lot of things to deal with, and I really don't have time."

Emily said without mind: "If you don't have time recently, I can wait for you for a few more days until you have time."

"There's no need for that, you'd better find another playmate." Tangke was very determined.

"Hey, without Viscount Tang's company, I think this trip should be canceled." Emily shook her head in disappointment and changed the subject, "You just became a royal pirate and obtained a fief, what are your plans?"

"After I deal with the fief, I will gather my troops and attack the ships of the Comansor Empire with all my strength. However, my pirate group is limited in strength and can only fight guerrillas on the route." Tangke replied sternly. .

For the second test, Tang Ke gave a qualified answer again. But these remarks are just perfunctory Emily. He would indeed go and strike against the ships of the Cormanthor Empire, but he would not do it himself.

"I'm waiting for the good news of Viscount Tang's triumph." Emily's eyes narrowed, and if she smiled meaningfully, her two topics just now were indeed tentative.

On the surface, at least, Donke made a qualified gesture of trusting the royal pirates. Emily didn't want to say anything more, and then talked about some unimportant things, and left after finding a reason.

The chat between the two had just ended, and someone came up immediately and stopped Tang Ke again. This caused the ladies who were one step behind to stamp their feet in anger.

It was Sikameng and his son who stopped Tangke, which was beyond Tangke's expectations, because the two sides were complete enemies.

Just after entering the port, Tangke handed over Xikameng to the local government, and at the same time used the IOU to obtain the funds and treasures he deserved. Afterwards, Tang Ke rushed to this imperial city to participate in the ceremony. The whole process went very smoothly, which was ashamed of Tangke's previous cautious attitude.

There was absolutely no hostility on the face of Old Sikameng. He was a fat white man with a black beard on his double chin, and his long and narrow mouth turned into a crescent. In contrast, Xiaoxi Kameng didn't have such a deep city. Although he didn't show anger, there was a coldness in his expression.

"Congratulations, Captain Tangke became a viscount." Old Sikamen raised his glass with a smile.

"Thank you." Tangke didn't want to appear stingy, and raised his hand to toast to the other party.

Seeing that his son didn't respond, Old Sikamen secretly pushed his son's arm.

"Congratulations," said Sikaman g reluctantly.

Old Sikamen g glanced between the two of them, for fear of a cold scene, he laughed and said: "My son is thankful for the care of the Viscount these days. If it weren't for your help, he would have been buried in the belly of the fish."

"You have already paid for the food and Zou fees, so you don't need to thank me." Tangke responded lukewarmly.

"That money is not enough to express my feelings for you. I heard that you prefer boats and boat building materials, so I prepared some specially. Please take a look. If you like it, these things are yours." Lao Xi Carmen G took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over.

Tang Ke took the paper and glanced at it. The parameters and ages of the five ordinary ships were written on it, as well as more than a dozen special materials. Together, there were 100,000 gold coins. He was very puzzled, whether the father and son of Sikameng had water in their heads, and it was not enough to be blackmailed, but they took the initiative to send a huge sum of money!

Seeing Tangke's suspicions, Old Sikamen explained with a smile: "Lord Viscount has just acquired the territory 'Windmill Harbor', and many of the business of the Clover Business Alliance will be carried out there, and we will rely on Lord Viscount to take care of it in the future. "

That's what happened!

Tangke laughed dumbly. It was really fate. It turned out that he stepped on the mouse tail of Sikamen G's house. No wonder Sikamen G's father and son came to offer hospitality. After he became a royal pirate, he gained many benefits from the Greenland Empire, including two fiefs, one is the trading port Windmill Harbor, and the other is Crab Island. The former can receive 200,000 gold coins every year, while the latter is relatively poor and can only be used as a supply island.

This benefit is great, but without such benefits, how can you keep the heart of the sixth-order powerhouse? Because Tangke defeated Catherine, the outside world regarded him as a sixth-order powerhouse, although he was actually only fifth-order.

"I have accepted the money, and no one will dislike it. You don't have to worry about me making trouble with you in the future. I don't have such a small stomach, and I don't regard your family members as opponents at all."

Old Xicameng looked very happy: "That would be great, thank you Viscount for raising your hand!"

Tangke didn't mention it in detail. In fact, even if Sikameng didn't pay for bribes, he didn't bother to suppress the Clover Business Alliance. Just like what he said just now, he didn't take Cikameng father and son in his eyes at all. He has inquired in detail, the Cikameng family is a family of merchants, and there is no one in the whole family who can use force. At most, there are some mercenaries under their hands, which is not a cause for concern.

Old Sikameng achieved his goal. Seeing that Tangke had no intention of chatting or looking for fun, he led his son away.

Tang Ke finally freed up and plunged into a noble circle before being entangled by Xin Niang. He was unfamiliar with this group of people. At first, the chat was very blunt~lightnovelpub.net~ After getting to know each other, he deliberately brought the topic to tobacco. He claimed to have discovered a new thing, and said this thing is amazing.

Most people in the aristocratic circle are idle. The biggest problem every day is how to play. After hearing about tobacco, they all showed a certain interest. Tonke worked hard to amplify this interest and promised to give everyone a portion of tobacco.

Today, Tangke mainly wanted to contact some buyers, so he only talked to the nobles, and didn't pay any attention to businessmen like Sikameng. In the middle of the night, he contacted about fifty nobles, intending to use these people as experiments to open up the market.

There were several women who seduced Tangke in every possible way that night, but he politely refused. Although he is greedy, he has already married four wives, and he is satisfied, and he has no interest in these wild people. His mind is now focused on his career.

The day after the banquet, the queen sent holy water with a scar-removing effect to Tangke's temporary residence. After Tangk used the investigation technique to identify the effect, he was overjoyed, and immediately ran to Wendy's room holding the holy water.
