Chapter 243: Reward with Baron Galott
The only thing that comforted Evan was that.
The day after Angel successfully transformed the meditation method, he finally received the news that the "Navy Nova" reward had arrived.
As a matter of fact.
While Evan and his "Stormhorn" were still on their way to sea, the official newspapers of the Tulip Alliance countries were already reporting on the situation of the "Navy Nova".
'The outstanding new-generation navies of the countries of the alliance have struck a thunderous blow at the arrogance of the pirate group headed by the "octopus ghost" Huggins, and the battle has been fruitful.
With political propaganda as the end of the action, the significance of this "Navy Rising Star Program" has been successfully achieved for the alliance, and the rewards of the new stars can only be regarded as being made up one after another in the later stage.
But Evan didn't care about that.
After receiving the notice, he immediately went to the Navy Department to receive the reward he had been waiting for!
A small portion of the rewards came from the Alliance, and most of them came from the "gold master" of the mission, the Kingdom of Ilya.
And it was in the reward of the Kingdom of Ilya that Evan made an unexpected and logical discovery.
It was a letter that came with the package!
It's obvious.
According to the surname of Evan "Galott", Ilya's officials in charge of related affairs have confirmed his identity!
For others, there is also the possibility of thinking that it is a small probability event with the same name and surname. But it would be a dereliction of duty for them to not even be able to distinguish the hereditary nobility canonized by their own kingdom.
So along with Ilya's reward came a handwritten letter from the kingdom's title administration, a powerful ruler.
"Dear Mr. Evan Galiot.
Hello!
The Gariot family has made a great contribution to the Kingdom, and His Majesty the King and the Kingdom have never forgotten your family's 'Thornfin' coat of arms
We are delighted to hear from you again, as the Elliot family has continued for nearly two hundred years
Also, I am honored to inform you here
We have received a charter from His Majesty, and as the sole male heir of the generation of the House of Galiot, you will automatically inherit the title of Baron Gallott.
There is no need to return to China to go through the procedures for succession to the title, and the resolution will take effect immediately"
In Aven's view, the main content of the letter was to recognize his empty title of "Baron Galott", but there was no mention of the lands that once belonged to his family and the minerals that had been usurped by Earl Wright.
It was only implicitly mentioned in the letter that the "Golden Compass" chosen by Evan was one of the prices paid by the emerging merchant aristocracy to escape further accountability after the huge losses caused by the delay of warplanes in the previous massacre!
At this point, the last trace of doubt in Aivan's heart about the original ownership of this "Golden Compass" from Ilya has also been dispelled.
As for whether the kingdom had long known that this "Golden Compass" belonged to the Garriot family, Evan didn't know at all.
After all, there are too many magical treasures on the sea, and it is not impossible for a royal family ruling a kingdom not to pay attention to the legend behind the "Golden Compass".
He only knew that when he sought revenge on that Count Wright in the future, the Ilya official would definitely not hinder him.
The attitude of the Ilya royal family is obvious, and it is clear that they want to seize every opportunity to constantly attract hatred for those restless guys in the country.
As for the situation within the Kingdom of Elijah, Evan actually knew very well.
He just didn't expect that the royal family had weakened to such an extent, and even a small role like himself in a foreign country was used to stumble on political enemies.
Even the traditions and rules have reached the level of simplicity, is there still such a way of "cloud inheritance" for the title?
Anyway, this is the first time Iwen has heard of it.
However, it is also a good thing to be able to restore the nobility, at least the Galliot family, as a hereditary noble lineage, has not been severed in their own generation.
The "Thorn Fin Sea Serpent Crest", which represents the pioneering spirit of adventurers, will also be able to see the light of day!
And with this nominal identity, he didn't have to worry about his Pharytis military position conflicting with him when he returned to Ilya, causing additional disputes between the two countries.
He didn't care what Anita did, and the strength of the Great Knight was enough to keep her safe.
Evan has his own thoughts, and the destruction of his family and the death of Grandpa Leo have always been a thorn in his heart.
A tooth for a tooth and blood for a blood! What he wants is not only the life of this culprit, but also the power that is so huge that even the royal family is afraid of it to be buried for him!
Personally!
"Now that the royal family has confirmed my identity, it is no longer possible to keep the secret from their political enemies.
It will be interesting to see how the Earl of Wright reacts.
I see you like a fish in your throat, you see me like a thorn in your back, and then it's up to us to see which of us can have the last laugh!"
A smile curled up at the corner of Aiwen's mouth, and it was cold to the bone!
After calming down and putting the enemy aside for the time being, Evan continued to count the rewards.
Aside from the watery barony, the rest is a real variety of benefits.
Among them, it is mainly divided into three parts: wealth, authority, and treasure.
Let's start with wealth.
The annual salary of an on-duty battleship captain is about 800 gold lions (for the sake of the captains' combat enthusiasm, there are half-paid captains on the shore who are almost half more than the number of captains on duty, and they are ready to replace the position of incumbent captains at any time), while a fleet commander can earn a staggering 1500 gold lions per year, which is a fixed salary that the kingdom will pay even if you don't do anything.
Of course, in addition to the fixed salary, the most profitable thing is the battlefield capture!
Even if you simply capture an enemy merchant ship, the captain can get a quarter of it. According to the value of merchant ships, there is no upper limit to this number, so although the work of the navy is indeed dangerous, the money comes really quickly.
Just as Uncle Gell didn't have any illustrious family before he joined the army, he was able to buy a huge estate like Cowper Manor before he was demoted to Gabrid as the captain of a fifth-class ship, that is, when he was in his thirties, which naturally made sense.
So as a reward for wealth, the kingdom of Ilya could not be too stingy.
Evan was given a share transfer agreement for a copper mine in the New World owned by Kribum Mining Company, which is backed by the Ilia royal family.
Now that Evan has a two-percent stake in the mine, he doesn't have to worry about anything, and dividends are credited to his account every year. It's the same as the ownership of the "Vanilla Manor" in the Southern Continent that Gehr used the "Shipwreck Mourning" to exchange for him.
According to the financial reports of the previous five years, this belongs to the two percent stake of Kribum Mining Company, and it can also bring at least 1,200 golden lions to Aven every year.
In other words, Evan is now not counting the loot captured, and he is safely serving as the captain of his battleship, and his annual salary plus dividends can steadily exceed 3,000 golden lions, and he has already topped the head of three one-eyed Beitch.
Coupled with the inevitable loot seizures after going to sea, it is not an exaggeration to say that Aven, who is not even 20 years old at a young age, has now achieved financial freedom.
Of course, "financial freedom" is based on the premise that Evan is not a wizard
Just to support the learning progress of himself and the chief disciple An Qi, even if he has more money, Ai Wen can think of countless ways to spend it cleanly.
The apprenticeship stage is okay, after getting the reward of the school, the series of potion materials for the "psychic potion" that spent most of the time in the apprenticeship stage have been settled.
Is there a better place to find the ingredients than in the warehouses of the "Alchemy School of Potions"?
Not only did it save Aven a lot of money, but it also saved him a lot of energy to collect materials.
But when it comes to the official wizarding stage, as the quality of the extraordinary materials continues to improve, the cost of each experiment will not be a small number. Over time, no amount of golden lions can fill this bottomless pit.
As we all know, every powerful wizard is piled up by golden lions! Even "human-weight gold" is no longer enough to describe the value of a wizard!
What's more, there is a school to raise in the future, and the scale of the reference does not need to be too large, and the shelf of the school must at least be the scale of the "Violet Eye" branch of Newinn.
That is supported by the kingdom's treasury and the talent reserve base of the Naval Academy. Therefore, Aven's little money is just a sprinkling of water.
He still has a long way to go to make money.
"No matter how much money you have, you don't need to spend it!"
