Chapter 136: Titles and Fiefdoms
Albana, the royal palace.
As a hero of the kingdom, Galen became the guest of honor of King Kobra.
As a large country with a population of 10 million, the royal palace of Alabastan is naturally much more magnificent than that of the Kingdom of Goya.
The solemn and solemn scene of the marble columns, the majestic and soaring dome, and the dazzling enamel windows made this dinner party set by the king himself very formal.
But none of the people who came to this dinner were characters who would be restrained by the scene:
King Cobra sat at the head of the banquet table, with Princess Vivi and her best friend Miss Nami on the left, and Galen and Robin, the duo of boss and secretary, on the right.
Robin's wrist was wrapped in a medical bandage that Galen had personally applied to her, but she just kept a kind smile that didn't have any flaws in it to deal with the social situation.
Because except for Galen, who is barely a heart-to-heart, the relationship between Robin and Nami and Vivi can only be regarded as a general friendship, or a fake friendship that warns of each other in her "undercover" situation.
Robin didn't want to come to the dinner, but Galen seriously insisted that the important employee accompany him to the gala dinner.
Although the reason of "good-looking" made Robin, who had always relied on his brain to eat, feel very helpless, but after feeling Galen's sincere attention to himself, Robin still made up his mind to play the role of Galen's personal secretary.
Accompanying the boss to some formal occasions is naturally what a secretary should do.
However, Nami and Vivi have quite a problem with this:
Even though Galen tells them that Robin is now a true companion, they remain wary and wary of the strange former female agent.
Not long after the dinner began, Nami and Vivi's strange eyes repeatedly crossed the wide table and silently landed on Robin's face, who was sitting next to Galen.
Faced with the faint hostility in the eyes of the two little girls, Robin just looked away from the chance collision with some amusement, and didn't pay much attention to it at all.
The atmosphere was a little delicate, but Galen didn't know anything about it.
Because he was busy discussing the aftermath of Klockdahl's death with King Kobra.
After listening to Galen's suggestion, King Kobra was a little difficult to accept:
"You mean to expose Klockdahl's theft of the country in its entirety?"
"But I've already confessed to the people the mistake of using dancing powder, how can I break my word and deduct this black cauldron back to Klockdahl?"
"Absolutely."
In the face of King Kobra's doubts, Galen was indifferent:
"He was alive before, so he had a chance to fight back."
"In that case, it's naturally hard to believe that the 'heroes of Alabastan' are bad guys without evidence."
"But now that he's dead, the dead are powerless to refute it."
"With you, the king of the World Government member states, and me, the new 'hero of Alabastan', speaking out together, I will find a few more 'insiders' from the Baroque Workshop to report it, and it will be difficult for his identity as a country thief not to be exposed."
"When the time comes, the Navy and the World Government will definitely regard the Seven Martial Seas Klockdar as a rebellious pirate, as you the king said."
"And the people will not blame you for lying before, but will be grateful to you for the sacrifices you made to quell the rebellion and stabilize the situation."
Hearing Galen's words, Kobra was still a little hesitant.
As a good king who regarded his subjects as family, he always felt that this method of guiding public opinion was somewhat unjustified.
But Galen's suggestion was a good idea to tell the truth to the people and the navy, and Kobra finally nodded in agreement with the propaganda plan.
"So..."
After discussing the matter after the refinement, Kobra asked Galen with some concern:
"Where are you going to go when this is over?"
Vivi immediately withdrew the wary look that had been pinned to Robin, waiting for Galen's answer, a little expectantly and a little nervously.
"Where are you going?"
Galen thought for a long time, and finally only gave an ambiguous answer:
"I don't know, but I don't think it's going to stay long."
It's only natural that sooner or later Galen will have to go out to sea again in search of the next prey that will provide him with experience points.
Hearing Galen's answer, Vivi's face couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The corners of Vivi's mouth twitched to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Vivi is nostalgic for the days when she and Galen were adventuring at sea, and she didn't want to cut off contact with her hard-won friends like Galen and Nami.
But after all, she is the princess of a great country and the new generation of "virtuous kings" in the eyes of the people, and there is really no reason, let alone suitability, to accompany a knight who always gets into trouble to sail on the great waterway.
The daughter's depressed little mood was all seen by Kobra.
After a moment of silence, Kobra said to Galen:
"Galen, I understand that a man like you will not stop on the Great Passage easily."
"But since you have opened a shipping company and are the leader of a big force, you have to find a base for your own forces to settle on the great waterway, right?"
Wei Wei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and her eyes couldn't help but have a little more brilliance.
"Base?"
Looking at the kind smile on Kobra's face, Galen asked with some puzzlement:
"Are you going to set up my shipping company in Alabastan?"
"However, my company has only just completed its coverage in the East China Sea region, and will not be involved in the shipping business from the East China Sea to the Great Shipping Route on a large scale for the time being."
"Nope."
Kobra shook his head, but just smiled:
"I'm not going to talk to you about business, but I'm going to give you a reward for saving Alabastan:"
"In the name of the King of Alabastan and the Naphilutali family, I officially canonize you as the Count of Alabastan."
"The port city of Rainland on the banks of the Santa Dora River will be your own fiefdom from now on."
As soon as Kobra opened his mouth, he sent all the titles and fiefs to Galen's hands,
The freshly baked "Rainland Lord" Galen couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise, and couldn't help but glance at Vivi, who was looking at him seriously:
The jokes he said when he met Vivi were all fulfilled.
And Weiwei replied to Galen with a sweet smile, and she was in a lot of mood:
Having a city as Galen's domain is equivalent to giving Galen a home on the Great Passage, and the knight will definitely return, or even reside, in Alabastan.
"But..."
Galen, however, took the topic to a subtle angle: "Your Majesty." ”
"Ahem..."
Kobra's face turned pale, and he said seriously: "Just call me uncle." ”
"Huh?"
Galen was slightly stunned, and finally shouted out this somewhat strange title:
"Uncle Cobra, you gave me a fief for such an important town as Rainland..."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll be the second Klockdahl?"
This is a very serious question.
The heroes of Alabastan who are based in the rain have the sense of déjà vu of Sand Crocodile No. 2 no matter how you look at it.
In fact, any politically minded monarch would never trust an outsider powerhouse unreservedly because of his daughter's recommendation like Kobra, let alone allow this powerhouse to play a hero in his own country.
Because the tiger devours the wolf, the wolf is dead, and the tiger is still there, no one can guarantee that the rescuers who moved to King Qin are not characters like Dong Zhuo.
But Kobra naturally doesn't think about it so much.
If he could think so much, the country of Alabastan would not be so easily subverted by Klockdahl.
In the face of Galen's question, Kobra laughed even more calmly:
"Hahaha..."
"With a strong man like you, Alabastan can achieve true peace."
"And, I'm sure you can't be the second Klockdahl!"
Kobra smiled heartily, and looked at Galen with a different kind of appreciation in his eyes:
"Weiwei has told me everything about you."
"She promised to marry you, but you didn't accept it."
"If you're really interested in this king's throne, wouldn't it be easier to marry my daughter away?"
The air freezes instantly.
Nami, who had been busy making eye contact with Robin, turned her head in disbelief to look at her best friend Vivi, who was sitting next to her.
Vivi's scalp tingled, and Galen's face was stiff.
Kobra didn't know anything about it.
Vivi was very close to her father and talked almost nothing.
However, when she introduced Galen to Kobra, she would only tell about Galen's high demeanor and brightness that was not moved by the power of beauty, and naturally she would not describe to her father that she was "making a promise" to her father even though she knew that the other party had a girlfriend.
So since we met today, Kobra has been treating Nami as Galen's subordinate with the same identity as Robin.
In the dead silence, Kobra only kindly took Galen's hand and said:
"Galen, I know you didn't want to take advantage of people's danger before, so you didn't agree to Vivi's marriage proposal."
"But I still approve of the marriage of the two of you!"
"After all, it is too rare to see an outstanding young man like you on the sea! Hahaha..."
After saying that, Kobra was still quite proud.
He knew that his daughter was thin and refused to come out, so he simply stood up and assisted his daughter himself.
But Kobra vaguely felt a little strange:
According to what he knew about his daughter, Vivi should have stood up with a red face and said a few tsundere words when he spoke.
But now the daughter is as quiet as a wooden man, and there is no movement at all.
Cobra turned his head in confusion, but was surprised to find:
Wei Wei was nervously leaning against her head and didn't dare to look at people, her face was already difficult to see.
And Galen's face also showed uneasiness and panic that did not lose to Weiwei.
After a moment of silence, Galen and Vivi raised their heads in an astonishing tacit understanding, and said in unison:
"Nami, listen to me." ()
