Evan really didn't expect that he would see the enemy of Wright's family "with his own eyes" in this form at such a time.

I didn't expect this young man named Hawkins.

Not only is the Garot family's fellow countrymen in the Kingdom of Ilia who master the same school of extraordinary swordsmanship as himself, but he is even a staff member of the Egret Chamber of Commerce under Wright.

Because of this series of coincidences, for a moment, Ai Wen even thought that this guy would be a secret agent or even a killer sent by the enemy, and then he would strike first.

But the memories that belong to Hawkins are then presented to Aven prove that he really has no close relationship with his enemy, Earl Wright.

To be more precise, Hawkins' perception of this chamber of commerce and Wright may not be more "friendly" than his own.

The unforgettable memories in the deep dreams were a little messy, but they were deep enough that Evan even experienced the strong emotions contained in those Hawkins memories!

Among them are joyful:

The elation of a young child on a bench and stroking the steering wheel behind the helm of a merchant ship;

Compared with the young people who are still a little young now, standing on the podium of the business school and receiving the attention of the public;

With a girl whose face has been blurred, you and I are under the moon when walking hand in hand on the campus;

After graduating, I was also proud to receive an offer from the Egret Chamber of Commerce, where my father worked;

The approving eyes of his parents, the adoring eyes of his girlfriend, and the great success of presiding over a commercial merger and acquisition for the first time....

Of course, there are also sad ones:

The pain when he heard that his father's merchant ship had been shipwrecked and had been buried at sea;

The Egret Chamber of Commerce took away Hawkins's "home" that carried countless memories on the grounds that his father's mistake had caused a heavy loss to the Chamber of Commerce;

And... The depression and loneliness when his girlfriend left decisively.

“......”

Hawkins's life is like a picture scroll, unfolding one by one in front of Evan and Milan.

Among them, there are not only the real life that Evan wants to know about by means of dreaming, but there are also many things that he did not expect.

Through these very important moments in Hawkins's life, Evan has pieced together the main experiences of Hawkins's life for more than 20 years.

Born into a middle-class family, belonging to a wealthy family of at least upper middle income in the kingdom of Ilya.

Moreover, as a merchant captain, my father was still a very respectable and decent profession in the Age of Discovery.

Hawkins himself is very good, and when he was a student, he was also a prominent figure in the Plantagenet Business School of the Kingdom of Illia, where there were many talents, and he was able to get a full scholarship every year.

After graduating, he went straight to the kingdom's premier private business organization, working in the Egret Chamber of Commerce, a typical representative of the new aristocracy, and a beautiful lover who had reached the point of talking about marriage.

It can be called a happy and happy life!

And then... was destroyed by an accident.

His father, as a captain belonging to the Egret Chamber of Commerce, disappeared into the vast Black Sea with his ship during a maritime trade with the New World.

In terms of search and rescue conditions in this era, it is possible to draw a direct equivalence between disappearance and death.

Then, before Hawkins and his mother could recover from their great grief.

Hawkins, who also served in the Chamber of Commerce, was kicked out of the Egret Chamber of Commerce because of the huge losses his father caused to the Chamber of Commerce.

At the same time, the management also took away the house where the family had lived for many years and the two shops that his father had accumulated during his birth and death in the name of his father's outstanding loan at the Chamber of Commerce.

Hawkins has long known that the Egret Chamber of Commerce has always acted domineering with Earl Wright behind its back, and those who dare to oppose them in the Kingdom of Ilya will never end well.

In the past, they didn't feel anything, but when the object of this domineering really fell on their heads, they realized the helplessness and despair in it.

Soon, the sweetheart who was originally talking about marriage also left Hawkins for ridiculous reasons and threw himself into the arms of others.

Moreover, it is no longer possible for a staff member who has been dismissed by the Egret Chamber of Commerce to get a new job from any chamber of commerce or company in Ilya.

As a last resort, Hawkins could only take his mother to the countryside and live in his uncle's house.

But Hawkins, who has ideals and ambitions and has seen the outside world, is unwilling to accept his fate and become a farmer, guarding a few acres of wheat fields to live.

But at this time, an astonishing news was like the dawn of dawn, instantly illuminating his extremely difficult life.

The Tulip Alliance issued a call to encourage the Coalition's citizens to privateer against Sylius!

At the same time, the heroic "White Knight", who successfully plundered the golden post road of Cylius and won a large fortune for himself, was also imprinted in his heart with a radiant image that broke all power.

How similar is the powerful Cylius who crushes the kingdoms under him and the Egret Chamber of Commerce that covers the sky in the Kingdom of Ilya?!

So, with a thirst for wealth and the pursuit of his idol's footsteps, Hawkins resolutely embarked on an ocean-going merchant ship to the New World.

Eventually, he came to Aven.

Although Hawkins himself didn't care too much, the Egret Chamber of Commerce seemed to have other small moves. ”

After piecing together the complete life of Hawkins, Evan was thoughtful.

At this time, the emerging aristocratic forces led by the Egret Chamber of Commerce, in addition to normal development, were also using various means to desperately embezzle Ilia's national property.

Mines, woodlands, farmland, national industry, colonial resources... Or even the Royal Central Bank of Ilya.

The greedy appetite never ends, and it is even more daring!

At least the guardian of the Kingdom of Ilya, the title of "Storm and Tide", is not dead, and if a new titled knight is born in the kingdom in the past few years, are they ready for what will happen?

But.

In Hawkins' memory, Evan also found that Wright's command had many strange people with pale complexions and cold temperaments that seemed to freeze people.

He guessed that maybe these guys were the support of the new aristocracy.

Although Hawkins, who has a transcendent swordsmanship inheritance but is no taller than an apprentice, may not recognize those people, but Evan and Milan can easily see their true nature.

Is that... A bunch of ghouls in human form!

......

I got the answer I wanted.

The mist-like gray robes on the two people instantly spread, wrapping their bodies and disappearing into Hawkins' dream.

However, in the shallow dream, only one bird monster disappeared with them, and the other was left here by Aven.

In the real world, the two people sitting on the sofa slowly opened their eyes, and the coffee brewed on the table was still warm.

Ai Wen picked up his quilt and took a sip gently:

"This guy's experience was surprisingly enriching, but there really wasn't anything wrong with that. The most important thing is that I have great potential and should be able to do it as my agent. ”

"Your own property, you have the final say.

However, the divination results show that the stars are reversed, and he would be a good helper. ”

Milan, who was opposite him, was quickly switching between tarot cards and giving his divination results from the perspective of a prophet.

Before that, because the speed of the rise was too fast.

The only civilian department under Aven's command is the command room of the privateer fleet, which is the most commanding center and the place he controls the most.

Because the command room inevitably has to exercise the privileges enjoyed by the privateer, managing the core secrets of the privateer.

Although most of them don't know the true identity of the "White Knight", they all know that the head of the regiment must have a deep background and are inextricably linked to the tulip official.

After returning from Yuanfan that day, Aven had already redacted the sensitive part of the draft of the establishment of the Mercury Trading Company and gave it to the civilian staff in the command room to help him improve it.

In this level of business cooperation, after the cooperation intention of the two parties is reached, there are countless details that need to be revised and improved one by one.

Otherwise, when it comes to concrete implementation, it will inevitably face countless ruffles, destroying the friendship and tacit understanding that the two sides have established with great difficulty.

It is better to set the details before the contract is actually concluded to ensure that the future cooperation can be carried out smoothly and orderly.

And Ai Wen, who had no one in his hand, could only hand over the draft of using A and B to refer to both sides to his command room.

Most of the civilians who were able to join the privateering fleet were certainly not very good, although they were carefully selected.

But there are also "talents" from all walks of life, such as accountants who make false accounts, company clerks who beat up their bosses, bankrupt businessmen, and so on.

If there were really talented people, they wouldn't have gotten into this far, and come under the command of the privateering fleet. And so on and so on where these business talents should go.

For most of them, the limit of their ability is probably to manage this "dragoon pirate group" with more than 2,000 people.

Therefore, it is conceivable that even with the personal order of the regiment commander, they are really full of lice in the face of such a draft.

But just when they wanted the head of the regiment to hire another master, it was a twist and turn.

The draft was easily straightened out by Hawkins, who had just joined the "Dragoon Pirate Regiment" and was only promoted to the command room because of his literacy and arithmetic expertise.

Board of directors, policy management plan, executives, business scope, rights and obligations of both parties, composition of the management team, office location...

It only took one day to come up with a perfect detailed plan, and even if the actual situation was not understood, targeted suggestions were put forward.

Although this kind of commercial cooperation is far less complicated than the modern society of commercial prosperity, the ease with which such documents can be straightened out is enough to be impressive, at least no worse than that of the Marquis's staff.

It immediately attracted Aiwen's attention, and this was the snooping in the previous dream.

At this time, there is also the addition of former employees to be familiar with the internal affairs of the Egret Chamber of Commerce, and Evan has secretly made a decision.

......

Early the next morning.

Hawkins, who had just woken up, was urgently summoned to the regiment commander's office.

However, when Hawkins, who carefully arranged his appearance and was full of joy and thought that he was about to see his idol, strode into the captain's office.

But instead of seeing the expected Lord White Knight, he saw another famous figure in the Tulip Kingdom, a big man who should never be here under normal circumstances!

At first sight, Leng Buding almost made Hawkins's legs weak and collapsed directly on the ground.

It was a tall young naval officer with a gilded command knife and a crisp brigadier general's uniform.

Just standing there and looking at a pair of eyes gives him a huge pressure like a mountain.

Although Hawkins had never seen a young brigadier general, the official newspapers within the league and even the lace tabloids were full of news about the adult during this time.

That is the youngest commodore of the Tulip Alliance, who was born in his home country of Ilya but belongs to the kingdom of Pharytis - Evan Garlott!

Thinking of the missing regiment leader, Lord White Knight, Hawkins, who was already extremely smart, had guessed the truth in an instant.

"Could it be..."

And then Hawkins, who was holding back his excitement, heard a natural voice like a dream from the mouth of this adult:

"Mr. Hawkins, in the name of Baron Galiot, the Divine Knight, the Commodore of the Kingdom, the Deputy Chief of the Kingdom's garrison in the New World, and the commander of the 'Dragoon' privateering fleet, I invite you..."

"I do, Your Excellency, I do!"

Hawkins, already with excitement on his face, got down on one knee and bowed his head deeply.

Hawkins, who originally wanted to come out and make a splash and get ahead, joined the "Dragoon Pirate Regiment", which is now the most famous and also holds a tulip privateer license.

In addition to the idol factor, of course, I want to quickly complete the accumulation of the first pot of gold.

Then use this wealth to use your knowledge and join the tide of industry and commerce in full swing.

He had vaguely seen an opportunity from the current situation, a chance to stand on the cusp and let the pigs fly.

Who would have thought that the heroic White Knight would be the youngest brigadier general of that tulip?

This situation is simply up and down!

It is also an opportunity that every businessman is ignorant of, even if he wants to seize it desperately, even if he is a manservant before and after the saddle.

The original idea of being a smuggler disappeared in an instant, and he could succeed in choosing that path, but hugging this Excellency's thigh is simply a success!

Seeing that this recruitment was going well, Ai Wen couldn't help but smile a little, what is the most precious thing in the big era? Of course, talent!

"Very well, from now on you are a retainer and brigadier attendant of House Carol. Start working today, there are no problems!"

Straightening up, Hawkins replied loudly with a flush of excitement on his face:

"Not at all, Your Excellency!"

Evan glanced at him and nodded with satisfaction:

"It's imposing, but now you can salute me, Major Hawkins!"

"Huh?"

Hawkins' heart pounded at the hearing of that term, and he was so happy that he almost passed out.

In the kingdom of Pharytis, the rank of general has been able to appoint a certain number of attendants on its own. The highest civilian attendant officer can be a major, and the highest rank of the martial arts faction is a captain, and the salary is borne by the Navy Military Department.

And because of Aivan's words, Hawkins has broken out of the cocoon and risen to the top, and he is no longer the original penniless civilian who was bullied by others.
