Nasaiyan's alarm bell rang and the radio sounded: "Alarm! Alarm! Pirates are coming! Pirates are coming! This is not a drill! The townspeople rushed to the shelter as fast as possible! This is not a drill..."
For a moment, the elves screamed in panic, and the whole street was full of people running around, completely losing the calmness of usual exercises...
When the warship appeared off the coast of Nasaiyan, all five medium-sized warships of the town garrison surrounded it head-on. Hurley immediately climbed up to the mast observation deck, took off his clothes and waved some kind of flag. Dali also stood on the bow of the ship and waved.
Shouting: "It's one of our own! Don't hit our own people!" If you are accidentally injured, you will be wronged.
There is no doubt that the officers and soldiers on the naval warship looked extremely incredible, but in any case, they were friends rather than enemies. The five warships "escorted" the pirate warship to the special military port and docked. At the same time, they sent doves to report to the rear.
Heavy troops were assembled on the dock of the military port. The mayor of the town, Venturi, and the garrison commander, Orles, personally led the troops. When the warship docked, the soldiers on the dock swarmed up to perform routine duties.
Looking at the blood stains all over the ship, the thousand words Commander Orles wanted to ask were condensed into one sentence: "Captain Dali, it's really, really unimaginable."
Dali said proudly: "I also killed Sobasa, the wanted criminal in the kingdom!"
"You are Captain Dali. You are truly a young talent in our town. It's our first time meeting you. I'm so happy to meet you!" Mayor Venturi, dressed in a standard gentleman's style, stepped forward and shook hands with Dali cordially.
For Dali, this is of course not the first time he has met him. After reaching level 40 in the leveling guide, you can trigger the idle task of sending outstanding young people to the military academy by looking for him. After 10 days of classes, you will be level 50.
Dali hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lord Mayor. It's my duty to eliminate the pirates and protect the town!"
Venturi nodded: "That's good. It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go to the conference room to talk about something!"
Is there going to be a reward? Haha, Dali said happily: "Let the adults arrange it!"
There were only three of them in the conference room.
The mayor said: "Captain Dali has made such great contributions and must be rewarded heavily. Has Captain Dali considered how to deal with this battleship?"
Dali said with enthusiasm: "Of course we are recruiting sailors to drive warships to destroy more pirates!"
The mayor shook his head: "No, no, Captain Dali didn't understand what I meant."
Orlais said: "Captain Dali, let me make it clear that as a captain of the joint defense team, you are not qualified to own a warship of this size. In fact, our town is not worthy of owning a warship of this size.
It must be turned over to the higher-level city!”
Dali was shocked and said: "You want me to hand over the battleship! How can that be done! I am an adventurer and I don't have to abide by the rules of the kingdom!"
Orles said coldly: "If you are just an adventurer, we can confiscate this battleship directly. This kind of strategic weapon is not allowed to fall into the hands of adventurers. That is called the crime of concealing arms. We consider that you are
Captain of the joint defense, I came to talk to you because I still enjoy the rules of the kingdom!"
The following unspoken words should be "Don't toast, don't eat, and you'll have to drink as a penalty"?
Indeed, Dali finally figured it out. How could the system allow a player to obtain such a killer weapon? If he really wanted to drive a battleship to the coast of the enemy camp and sweep around, other players would not have to play. It would be too much.
It destroyed the balance. It seems that the battleship cannot be saved, but since I talked to myself, it shows that the system still has a compensation mechanism.
Dali asked: "What do the two adults mean?"
The mayor said: "I think Captain Dali has achieved such meritorious service and is qualified to be promoted to a knight. What does the commander think?"
Orlais said: "Although his qualifications are still relatively low, with such outstanding achievements, he should be promoted exceptionally."
Give me a knighthood? No, I have never done any meritorious missions, and my meritorious value is zero. Why should I be knighted? By capturing a battleship? It’s two different things. Unless I accept a meritorious mission that requires capturing a battleship, my meritorious service is still equal to 0.
ah!
The mayor said: "Captain Dali, according to the regulations of the kingdom, we will take over and take care of the battleship, and we will report the news of killing Sobasa. In order to commend you for your meritorious service, I will make you a baron!"
Granted a baron? Damn it! Really? Even if you take over the warships, you even want the wanted criminals. It turns out that you are robbing me of my military merits! However, this little military merit is definitely worth changing to a baron title. You have to know that there are people who have been leading soldiers all their lives.
I don’t know how many battleships were sunk and captured. His status may be getting higher and higher, but his title is definitely not.
Dali was shocked: "Baron! Are you making me a title? Is this possible?" Although Dali intended to exchange, he still felt it was a bit unreliable. The title was awarded by the royal family. How could you, a small town mayor, do it?
?
Venturi took a golden box from his arms, took out the title document inside and said: "Although my position is low, I am just a small town mayor, but my family is indeed an old hereditary noble in the kingdom, and I am qualified to inherit a title.
The descendants will inherit the title! Since I don’t have a son, it doesn’t matter if I transfer the title of baron to you.”
Dali suddenly realized that it turned out to be hereditary, so there really was no need for any merit. However, as a player, he could indeed inherit the title as a "godson". Isn't it a bit foul? What's even more foul is that he is not a "godson" yet.
ah!
Dali Zaiwu has no doubts: "I am really flattered and grateful to you for being so generous to me. I am willing to agree to your request and accept the title of baron!"
——System prompt: Congratulations, you are hereditary as a baron, and your kingdom's reputation +1000.
——System prompt: You are the first player to obtain a title and obtain the achievement "The Starting Point of Nobility", which will reward you with 50 free attribute points, +500 health points, and +500 mana points.
——System prompt: You become a noble and gain passive skills: Noble Temperament - which increases the favorability of NPCs towards you and also increases the hatred of certain NPCs towards you.
——Nobles: They enjoy the kingdom’s title allowances based on their title, and are also eligible to apply for fiefs of corresponding size. Nobles must unconditionally respond to the kingdom’s call for military conscription.
——System prompt: You accept the agreement from Mayor Venturi, and the ownership of the Blood Mist pirate warship changes.
The mayor clapped his hands and said: "Congratulations, from now on, Baron Dali will be a member of the nobility!"
Dali hurriedly said politely: "Then it's better to rely on the mayor for support."
The mayor said sternly: "Yes, it is an exceptional promotion, because you are not a member of my family, and you have no merit. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to inherit the title. This kind of thing is big or small, in order to avoid inconvenience.
It's necessary trouble, you'd better keep a low profile."
It is indeed an illegal operation! Mr. Mayor, even if you knight me, you still do not hesitate to operate illegally. What is your intention? Dali suddenly smelled a conspiracy - did I lose money? Although
No matter what, he felt that he was not at a loss, but Dali didn't think he could defeat the system mastermind, so Dali decided to test further.
Dali said: "Remember the mayor's teachings, but I have an unkind request. I hope you can satisfy it."
The mayor's face darkened and he said displeasedly: "Aren't you satisfied with receiving an exceptional title? Okay, tell me your requirements."
Dali felt nervous because the other party had a bad attitude, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "During the battle to capture the warship, my fishing boat sank, and now I have no money to buy it. Lord Mayor, can you watch me contribute to the country?"
Can you compensate me with a fishing boat?"
The mayor was stunned: "That's it?"
Dali nodded and said: "Yes, although I obtained the title and received the kingdom's allowance, it was only small money; although I also obtained the qualification for a fief, the whole country is owned by the owner and no longer has my share. My actual loss is not
A title can make up for it."
The mayor was confused: "This is a bit difficult to handle. This town is not rich..."
At this time, Orlais suddenly remembered something and hurriedly gave advice to the mayor: "Sir, after all, he accepted the army recruitment to defend the town. His losses should be compensated by the government, otherwise who would be willing to accept the army in the future?"
Where is the recruitment?"
The mayor nodded: "It makes sense. Although the town's finances are not tight - well, for the sake of the commander, I will make an exception and allow you to compensate for your losses."
Dali said happily: "Thank you so much, mayor, thank you so much, commander!" Damn it, now Dali has realized the benefit of giving the commander 30% of the bonus. People don't do nothing for free.
The mayor said: "Okay, that's all for today. Baron Dali, please remember that you assisted our navy in capturing the warship. Do you understand?"
Hey, isn't it just to take the credit from me? Of course, I must be able to give a reasonable explanation to the people.
Dali hurriedly said: "You two adults, don't worry, I understand. I will definitely not say anything that shouldn't be said."
Orles said: "Remember to keep your sailors' mouths in check."
"understand!"
The mayor said: "Commander, please send someone to take Baron Dali, ah, from now on in public we will still call him Captain Dali, and take Captain Dali to the dock to choose a fishing boat."
Orles said: "I'd better accompany Baron Dali there in person."
Dali was flattered and said: "I, I, I really don't dare to accept this!"...
Nasaiyan's broadcast rang: "Alarm cleared! Alarm cleared! The incoming pirates have been eliminated by our army! Great news, the incoming pirate heavy warship has been captured by our army! Great news, the incoming pirate heavy warship has been captured by our army!"
"Yo ho!" The whole town burst into thunderous cheers!
