Codex Pirates

Chapter 121 Norton I

Not to mention William and Roy, Kalmar City, Arcadio found Norton I a few days after meeting with Roy and William's allies.

The two walked in the garden of the palace, and Arcadio tentatively said, "Your Majesty, since I got your order, I have been sleepless all night since I got home, thinking hard about finding a plan to strengthen the army. Unexpectedly, the second One day, a local hero visited me. He saw that I didn't think about food and drink, and asked me why. Hearing your Majesty's heartfelt admiration, he expressed on the spot that he was willing to join the Kingdom's army and sent his fleet to Contributed with the warriors, died for His Majesty, and defended the country, but I didn't agree to him at the time, saying that I would ask Your Majesty for instructions on this matter."

Norton I only gave a soft "oh", neither praised the "hero" nor surprised, in his opinion, it is only natural for others to contribute all their wealth to him.

"How many ships and people does he have?" Norton I asked directly.

"Four warships, more than three hundred people, all are warriors at sea." Arcadio said.

"There is such an armed force in the Kingdom of Navia?" Norton I was surprised, but he didn't show any fear or worry. Germa 66 was able to scare him because the other party personally broke through a country, "This man Is it a pirate?"

"The old minister would like to guarantee his personality, no!" Arcadio said without changing his expression, "Their captain, Stolt, is a well-known chivalrous man in the kingdom. He is a gangster, and he doesn’t even have a reward list from the world government, so how can he be a pirate?”

"Since that's the case, he has such a heart, so let's agree to his request." Norton I said casually.

Arcadio saw that Norton I had nothing to say, so he couldn't help reminding: "Your Majesty, such a patriotic warrior must be rewarded."

"You are right. I can meet him personally and praise him face to face." Norton I said.

Arcadio paused for a moment before lowering his head and said: "I think His Majesty can bestow him a nobleman of the kingdom. This is also to set an example for others, and let others know that His Majesty is generous and wise, and a true righteous man. You are never stingy with rewards."

Norton I thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

...

After Arcadio left the palace, he tore off his humiliation in front of King Norton I, resumed his status as an important minister of the kingdom, sat firmly at home, and sent his servants to find William.

William has been staying in Kalmar City for the past few days just to wait for news.

This unexpected incident is a rare opportunity for William. He has always wanted to obtain the official status of a local kingdom. In this way, his influence in the kingdom, navy, pirates, and trading companies will be both black and white, forming a unity. Zhang Juwang has transformed the area it is in into a semi-independent kingdom, which can not only shelter each other, but also provide mutual support. While growing silently, it can also isolate the attention and influence of the world government as much as possible.

William originally planned to start the kingdom's plan a little later. Unexpectedly, because of the invasion of Germa 66, Norton I planned to expand the army and dumped the burden on Arcadio. William, who seems to have a shallow vision and is easily lost by a title of nobility, is actually ambitious and eyeing this country. This wolf is introduced into the kingdom's political system.

William will not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so most of his energy is now focused on this matter. After the people sent by Arcadio find him, he will set off immediately and come to Arcadio. Catio's estate.

Arcadio looked at the hurried and excited William, and smiled profoundly.

William's arrangement these days has been effective. Arcadio himself lives in the noble district, so he is well-informed about what happened in the noble district, and he has already heard about William's proposal. On the same day, I couldn't hold back my excitement, and ran to other places in the noble district to see the environment, and then impatiently sent someone to buy a manor in the noble district.

For Arcadio, who was born with a prominent position and a noble title, William's behavior was very ridiculous, but this behavior also made him feel that William was much easier to control.

"Your Majesty has agreed to your proposal," Arcadio said to William while drinking black tea slowly, "You will accompany me to see His Majesty the day after tomorrow, and when you get the official canonization, your crew will be members of the Kingdom's army. And you, too, will become a nobleman of the Navia Kingdom."

William felt disdain for Arcadio's pretentiousness in his heart, but he nodded with excitement and joy on his face, as if he couldn't even speak.

"When you go to see His Majesty, remember to restrain your savage and uneducated habits," Arcadio said arrogantly, "You will soon become a nobleman, and you must have the pomp you deserve. , don’t lose the face of our nobles and bring us down to the same level as those untouchables.”

William agreed with all his mouth, but he didn't take it seriously.

On the second day, William, who was neatly dressed, entered the palace with Arcadio.

Although William disapproved of Arcadio and the Norton I who lived in the palace, he was not a sensationalist, and he dressed up well today, wearing a black dress, with mid-length blond hair. With pomade, combed into a back hair.

William has a tall figure, with solid muscles but not bloated, which can well support the well-tailored dress on his body, and the dark clothes are a little thick, which makes him very handsome, if it is not because of the fact that he is always blown by the sea breeze. Some clues can be seen on the rough skin, and thick callused hands with thick knuckles from sword practice. I don’t know how many people will misunderstand that the blond, blue-eyed and dignified man is an elegant nobleman. children.

The two walked through under the guidance of the guards, and the buildings they saw along the way were fairly magnificent, but William, a modern person who had visited the Forbidden City and the Great Hall in his previous life, would naturally not seem surprised.

He didn't enter until he came to the gate of the palace and passed it on. William could have a panoramic view of the interior of the palace with just a glance.

The high-risk life of a pirate has made him a habit of vigilance. The first thing he saw was the position of the guards in the palace, and then he focused on King Norton I sitting on the throne and the ministers standing under the steps of the throne. .

Norton I looked to be in his forties, with a fair face, a bloated figure, white and tender palms, a slightly set back hairline, a neat mustache on his upper lip, dim brown eyes, and dark bags under his eyes because of his skin color. Very obvious.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary subjects of the Kingdom of Navia, this man wearing a crown and sitting on the throne is full of majesty in every move and every move, but in the eyes of William, this is a man who does not do much work and lives. It's just an old man with a less rigorous style.

The skin color, body shape, hair color, and beard all prove that Norton I was pampered, and the hairline, eyes, and bags under the eyes also faintly hinted at his personality.
