Chapter 136 Titles and fiefs(1/2)
Albana, royal palace.
Galen became the guest of honor for King Cobra as a kingdom hero.
As a big country with a population of tens of millions, the palace of Alabastan is naturally much more grand than that of the Kingdom of Goya.
The calm and quiet marble columns, the towering dome, the dazzling enamel windows, and the solemn scene made the dinner set by the king himself look very formal.
But those who come to this dinner are not just characters who are reserved for the scene:
King Cobra sat in the main seat of the amazingly long banquet table, with Princess Vivi and her best friend Miss Nami sitting on the left, and Garen and Robin on the right, a combination of bosses and secretary.
Robin's wrist was wrapped around his wrist with the medical bandage that Garen had personally put on her, just maintaining a kind smile without any flaws to deal with such social occasions.
Because in addition to Garen, who is barely a heart-to-heart relationship, the relationship between Robin and Nami and Vivi can only be considered a general friendship, and it is a fake relationship that is guarding against each other when she is "undercover".
Robin didn't want to attend the dinner, but Garen still seriously insisted that the important employee accompany him to the celebration dinner.
Although the reason for "beautiful" made Robin, who had always relied on his brain, felt very helpless, after feeling Galen's true importance to his true feelings, Robin still made up his mind to play the role of Galen's personal secretary.
Accompanying the boss to attend some formal occasions is naturally what the secretary should do.
However, Nami and Vivi have quite some opinions on this:
Although Galen told them that Robin was now a true companion, they were still wary of this strange ex-spionage agent.
Not long after the dinner began, Nami and Vivi's strange eyes that shared the same hatred of the enemy repeatedly crossed the wide table and fell silently on Robin's face sitting beside Galen.
Faced with the faint hostility in the eyes of the two little girls, Robin just moved away from the occasional collision with a little amused, and ignored it at all.
The atmosphere at the scene was quite subtle, but Galen knew nothing about it.
Because he was busy discussing with King Cobra about the aftermath of Clockdal's death.
After listening to Garen's advice, King Cobra was a little difficult to accept:
"You mean, to expose Clockdal's crime of stealing the country in a complete and complete manner?"
"But I have already admitted to the people the mistake of using dancing fans, so how can I go back on my word and put the blame back to Clockdal?"
"sure."
Facing King Cobra's doubts, Garen was indifferent:
"He was alive before, so he had a chance to fight back."
"In that case, it is naturally hard to believe that the 'Hero of Alabastan' is a bad guy without evidence."
"But now that he is dead, the dead are powerless to refute."
"With you, the king of the world government franchisor, and I, the new 'Alabastan hero', speak out together. I will find a few 'informed people' of the Baroque Works Association to report it. It is difficult for him to not expose his identity as a thief."
"At that time, the Navy and the World Government will definitely regard the Seven Warlords Clockdal as a rebellious pirate as you, the king."
"The people will not only not blame you for telling lies before, but will be grateful to you for the sacrifices you made to quell the rebellion and stabilize the situation."
Cobra was still hesitant when he heard Garen's words.
As a kind king who regards his subjects as family members, he always feels that this means of guiding public opinion are somewhat improper.
But Garen's suggestion was beneficial and harmless, and he told the truth to the people and the navy. Cobra finally nodded in agreement with this publicity plan.
"So"
After discussing the matters to improve the matter, Cobra asked Garen with some concern:
"Where are you going after this matter is over?"
Vivi immediately pulled back the alert look that was nailed to Robin, waiting for Garen's answer with some expectations, and nervously.
“Where to go?”
Garen thought for a long time, but in the end he just gave an ambiguous answer:
"I don't know much, but I shouldn't stay for a long time."
It's natural, and sooner or later Garen will go out to sea again to find the next prey that provides him with experience points.
Hearing Garen's answer, Vivi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed on her face.
Wei Wei stumbled at the corner of her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Vivi was nostalgic about the days of adventure with Galen on the sea, and did not want to break off contact with Galen and Nami, the hard-won friends.
But after all, she is the princess of a great country and the new generation of "wise king" in the minds of the people. There is really no reason, and she is not suitable to sail on the great waterway with a knight who always gets into trouble.
Cobra saw all her daughter's depressed little emotions.
After pondering for a moment, Cobra said to Garen:
"Galen, I understand that a man like you will never stop on the great waterway easily."
"But since you have opened a shipping company, you can be regarded as the leader of a big force. You have to find a base for your own forces to stay on the great channel, right?"
Wei Wei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and a little more eloquent in her eyes.
"base?"
Looking at the kind smile on Cobra's face, Garen asked in confusion:
“Are you going to get my shipping company to Alabastan?”
"But my company has just completed its coverage in the East China Sea area and will not be involved in the shipping business from the East China Sea to the great waterway on a large scale."
"No."
Cobra shook his head and just smiled:
“I’m not going to talk to you about business, but I’m going to give you the reward for saving Alabastan:”
"I formally conferred you as the Earl of Alabastan under the name of the Nafirutali family."
"The rainy land on the port city on the banks of the Santola River will be your fiefdom from then on."
As soon as Cobra opened his mouth, he sent all the title and fief to Garen.
Garen, the freshly released "Rain Land Lord", couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise, and couldn't help but look at Vivi, who was staring at him seriously:
All the jokes he told when he met Weiwei were fulfilled.
Vivi returned Galen with a sweet smile and was in a much happier mood:
Having a city as Galen's territory is equivalent to having Galen set up a home on the great waterway, and this knight will definitely return and even be based in Alabastan.
"But"
But Galen took a unique approach to push the topic to another somewhat subtle angle: "His Majesty the King."
"Ahem"
Cobra looked stern and said seriously: "Just call me uncle."
"ah?"
Galen was slightly stunned and finally called out this strange title:
"Father Cobra, give me all important towns like Yudi as a fief."
"Aren't you afraid that I will be the second Clockdal?"
This is a very serious question.
The Alabastan heroes who use Rainland as their base camp all have the feeling of Sand Crocodile II no matter how they look.
In fact, if any politically wise monarch would never trust an outsider without reservation because of his daughter's recommendation, and would not allow this strong man to play a hero in his country.
Because he drove the tiger to swallow the wolf, the tiger was still there after the wolf died, and no one could guarantee whether the rescuers who brought the king to serve were people like Dong Zhuo.
But Cobra naturally wouldn't think so much.
If he could think so much, Alabastan would not have been subverted by Clockdal so easily.
Facing Garen's questions, Cobra even laughed calmly:
"Hahaha"
"Only with you as a strong man in charge can Alabastan get real peace."
"And, I believe you can't be the second Clockdal!"
Cobra smiled happily, and his eyes looked at Garen with a different kind of appreciation:
"Vivi told me about your affairs."
"She promised to marry you, but you didn't accept it."
"If you are really interested in the throne of this king, wouldn't it be easier to marry my daughter directly?"
The air solidifies instantly.
Nami, who had been busy fighting with Robin's eyes, turned her head in disbelief and looked at her best friend Wei Wei who was sitting beside her.
Vivi's scalp tingled, and Garen's face was also very stiff.
But Cobra was completely unaware of this.
