Heroes of Silver Moon

Chapter 419: : Viscount Doyle

The sparkling waves were slightly turbulent, and seven warships exuding a ferocious aura, but with somewhat dilapidated hulls, slowly docked at King's Harbor.

Six of them were three-masted warships, and one was a five-masted warship serving as flagship.

The docking of this fleet did not surprise the people in the port. They have lived here for generations and have already figured out the replenishment time of this royal fleet.

After all the three-masted warships docked, the five-masted warship slowly entered the port.

With the sound of a slight collision, the sailors on the five-masted warship quickly sank the anchor and tied the rope to the dock.

Viscount Doyle, the commander of the Royal Fleet, stood on the command post on the rear deck of the warship, looking at the prosperous King's Harbor, feeling a little proud.

It is the diligent maritime patrols of their royal fleet that will keep these ports of the Silvermoon Kingdom from being plundered by those Sea Clan bandits.

But seeing the unwashed blood on the deck, Viscount Doyle's heart sank again.

This year's sea bandits seem to be a bit unusual. Once they gather to plunder, can the warships of the royal fleet really sink them in the sea?

If they can't be stopped at sea, these prosperous ports will probably all be turned into a sea of ​​flames!

Scanning the port, those vendors hawking everywhere, and the crowded people, Viscount Doyle made up his mind.

Taking advantage of this stop for supplies, we must persuade His Majesty the King to allocate funds to repair these warships that have been in disrepair for a long time.

Wearing a well-fitting black leather armor and a knight's long sword on his waist, under the **** of the sailors on board, Viscount Doyle set foot on this piece of land that belonged to his own country.

As a veteran nobleman who has been loyal to the royal family for generations, Viscount Doyle can certainly afford a suit of plate armor.

But their Doyle family has served in the royal fleet for generations, and they are fighting in the sea wearing more than one hundred catties of armor. If they fall into the sea, it is no joke!

Based on this consideration, there is no such thing as armor in the navy. Sailors are basically clothed in civilian clothes, and only those officers in charge of command would consider wearing leather armor on their bodies.

However, although there is no such demand, Viscount Doyle still wants to collect a set of plate armor, not for anything else, just for the nobleman's card.

Force and financial resources have always been important means to show off one's reputation.

It is precisely because of this that Viscount Doyle is still in a state of consideration. He can easily get ordinary plate armor, but as a veteran nobleman, it always feels a bit unreasonable to wear ordinary plate armor at home.

Anyway, it's for the sake of the card, so you have to get the best one, at least you have to start with high-level enchanted plate armor. Of course, if it is too expensive, mid-level enchanted armor is not impossible.

"Commander, do you want to go home first or go somewhere else?" asked the first officer beside him.

Viscount Doyle thought for a while: "I'll go to see His Majesty first, you settle down the brothers, let them take vacations and be on duty in batches, watch carefully, don't let them get stuck in the brothel! "

"Also, tell the quartermaster to be careful when buying supplies, and let me find out that he is greedy for the food money of the Mo brothers. Next time I go to sea, let him go directly to feed the fish!"

The first officer nodded quickly, indicating that he had written down the order.

After drifting in the sea for nearly three months, plus several fights with the sea bandits, the crew of the royal fleet of course needed to vent their anger.

The port is also very considerate, and has prepared delicious ale and gentle and considerate prostitutes for these sailors.

Of course, you have to pay for it, but it's just a slight discount.

Without other guards, Viscount Doyle rented a fast horse and hurried back to the capital not far from the port.

The Silvermoon Kingdom is quite prosperous now, so thieves are not uncommon, and as a master warrior, he has the courage to deal with all dangers.

If the royal power is declining, the wars are frequent, and the people are poor, it is impossible for the nobles who travel alone to reach their destination alive.

After all, as a nobleman, there are always a few valuable things on him.

After rushing to the capital, Viscount Doyle came to the palace first and asked His Majesty the King.

As a loyal subject of the royal family, the old king also warmly received Viscount Doyle.

But when it comes to repairing the royal fleet warships, sorry, I don't know you, get out of here!

As the supreme ruler of this country, the old king certainly wouldn't say such unlevel words, but to Viscount Doyle, the meaning was pretty much the same anyway.

Not getting an answer, Viscount Doyle walked out of the palace dejectedly.

"I don't know how Alicia is?" Recalling the lovely only daughter, Viscount Doyle's depressed mood eased.

Back at the mansion in the noble district, the servant opened the gate of the mansion for him.

"Is Miss there?" Viscount Doyle asked impatiently as soon as he entered the house.

"This!" The servant looked embarrassed, not knowing how to answer.

"Just say what you want!" Viscount Doyle frowned, he had a premonition that something was wrong.

The servant gritted his teeth and said, "Miss was taken over by Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Your Royal Highness?" Viscount Doyle was a little taken aback, and then stopped asking.

He knew that his daughter was very close to Princess Irina, so he took Alicia to live there, probably because seeing Alicia was too lonely!

The Doyle family is a veteran aristocrat, and can be regarded as a powerful aristocrat, but they can't be called a powerful aristocrat, so they can only have a small house in the aristocratic area.

But even so, Viscount Doyle is already very satisfied, because 80% of the nobles in the Silver Moon Kingdom are not even qualified to set foot in the aristocratic area of ​​the king's capital.

After taking off his sour leather armor and taking a comfortable hot bath, Viscount Doyle walked out of the bathroom and changed into the noble robes that the servant had already prepared.

The leather armor he took off before has also been taken by the servants to be cleaned.

For all of this, Viscount Doyle took it for granted. After all, he went out to patrol and fight at sea to protect these ordinary people!

After working hard at sea for three months, isn't it only natural to come back and be served by these people?

"It would be great if there was another woman!" Lying on the soft sofa, Viscount Doyle thought comfortably.

Alicia's mother hadn't remarried since Alicia's mother died because he was away most of the time.

If the stepmother bullied that precious girl, or if he **** with other men while he was out at sea, it would be a nuisance.

If you really have a physical need, you can go to the port to find those high-end prostitutes. Anyway, he is the commander-in-chief of the royal fleet, and he doesn't need to pay for **** with them.

bang bang bang!

Just as Viscount Doyle was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, there was a knock on the gate of the house without haste.

"Huh? Is Alicia back? That's right, she should be able to figure out that these days are the days when the fleet returns to Hong Kong for supplies!"

Viscount Doyle, who was a little sleepy at first, immediately rubbed his face and regained his energy.

Just as he was arranging his clothes, sitting upright, and waiting for his daughter to come and act like a spoiled child, the servant hurried over to report: "Master, there are two young masters looking for you outside!"

"Master? Which family's master?" Viscount Doyle felt a little puzzled.

They, Doyle, have been in charge of the royal fleet for generations, and the Patriarch basically spends most of his time at sea. Therefore, although he is a veteran nobleman, he has relatively little communication with other veteran noblemen, and the relationship is relatively ordinary.

Only the aristocrats who have business in the sea or in the port have good friendship with them.

But during this period of time, he really didn't know why young masters from other families came to visit him.

"I don't know, I haven't seen them before, and the family emblems on them are also very strange!" The servant replied truthfully.

"Hmm~ let them in!" After thinking for a while, Viscount Doyle decided to meet them, since he had nothing to do now anyway.

At the gate of the house, Guy was waiting nervously, making his daughter's belly bigger, wondering if the prospective father-in-law would hack him to death directly.

Simon smiled and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, just leave it to me!"

Guy smiled wryly and shook his head. Recently, Simon has been running around because of this matter, which has made him very ashamed, and this kind of private family matter will definitely require him to bear the pressure in the end!

"Master, please come in!" The gate of the house opened, and the servant poked his head out and said.

Guy was sweating nervously, wandering around the door not knowing what to do.

Simon said to the servant gently: "We have prepared some gifts for Viscount Doyle, can you help carry them into the yard?"

Looking at the several large wooden boxes on the carriage at the door, the servant who opened the door was a little surprised.

When visiting a strange noble for the first time, it is normal to bring some gifts, but if you bring so many things directly, it is probably for their master to do business!

In charge of the royal fleet, as long as it is related to maritime business, they can't get around their master.

Calling his companions to carefully carry the wooden box, the servant led Simon and the two into the house.

Following them, the servants began to carry the gifts that Simon had brought.

The other two wooden boxes were okay, but the biggest wooden box was too heavy, and the servants had to leave it alone, and then ran a second trip to carry it together.

Hearing the movement in the yard, Viscount Doyle also straightened his clothes and walked out of the room calmly.

Two strange teenagers came into view.

A handsome and handsome man, with pale golden hair showing the nobility of his bloodline.

He was wearing a pure white aristocratic dress, with a golden ribbon passing through his shoulders and hanging on his chest in a half-moon shape, and a gorgeous red cape behind him.

Whether it is image or temperament, it is not inferior to the princes of some countries.

Even Viscount Doyle couldn't help but nodded in his heart.

An ordinary-looking man with short chestnut hair, almost indistinguishable from ordinary people.

The ordinary cheap cotton gray shirt has almost no bright spots except that it is more resistant to dirt. If it weren't for the aristocratic coat of arms on the chest, Viscount Doyle would even think it was a commoner.

The two stood side by side, just like a prince traveling with his attendants, the only difference is that the attendants would never dare to stand side by side with the prince!

"I am Viscount Doyle, may I ask who you two are?" Viscount Doyle asked suspiciously.

Simon and Guy looked at each other, and then Simon stood up first.

"The Hawke family, Earl Hawke's eldest son, Simon Hawke, send hello to Your Excellency the Viscount!" Simon pressed his right hand to his left chest, and bowed slightly to Viscount Doyle.

"The Hawke family?" Viscount Doyle murmured, tasting.

A few years ago, the Hawke family beat the Hood family in front of the royal capital, and their momentum rose sharply. Although he had already gone to sea at that time, he heard about it from other people after he came back.

But the Hawke family is the lord of the southern border, and the family territory is not near the sea. What's the matter with him, the commander of the royal fleet?

Immediately afterwards, Guy beside Simon also pressed his right hand on his left chest and bowed to salute the prospective father-in-law.

"The great-great-great-great-grandson of Grand Duke Gaseppe, the great-great-grandson of the Marquis Kim, and the eldest son of Earl Farid, Guy Willie, send your greetings to Your Excellency the Viscount!" Guy said in a deep, apprehensive voice.

"A nobleman of the royal family?" Hearing Guy's identity, Viscount Doyle was even more confused.

What is this all about!

Whether it is the great-great-grandson of the Grand Duke or the heir of the Hawke family, it seems that there is no reason to look for him!

At this time, the servant had already moved three large wooden boxes into the yard.

While Viscount Doyle was still in a state of confusion, Simon smiled and said: "Your Excellency, Viscount, I took the liberty to visit today, and we brought you a gift!"

The servants were very discerning, and quickly opened the wooden box after hearing this.

In the first wooden box, Chen placed an exquisite knight's long sword, and a knight-shaped shield with the Doyle family's coat of arms painted on the front.

In the second wooden box, there is a knight's plate armor that is both gorgeous and majestic.

In the third wooden box, Chen placed five light red earthen jars.

The wooden boxes are lined with layers of hay to prevent these things from being damaged in the wooden box.

Viscount Doyle's eyelids twitched. Whether it is a sword shield or a plate armor, he likes it very much. He is worried that these things are not displayed in the guest room!

And the things in the third wooden box made his heart beat faster, the endless jugs, five of them were given away at once, the royal fleet lacked such things!

"A pair of master-level enchanted swords and shields, a piece of master-level enchanted plate armor, and five endless jugs, do you know if it suits your viscount?" Simon asked with a chuckle.

Viscount Doyle's heart was shocked, master-level enchanted sword shield and plate armor?

There are no master alchemists in the Silvermoon Kingdom, and these things can only be purchased from the Holy Empire.

But as strategic weapons and equipment, and almost monopolized sales channels, these three items can definitely sell for a sky-high price of 50,000 to 60,000 gold coins in the Silver Moon Kingdom.

Plus endless jugs worth five thousand gp each, oh my! He couldn't imagine how much wealth this was.

But immediately, Viscount Doyle also became vigilant.

Go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, delicious bait must be poisonous, Taishun's victory must have traps, he can definitely conclude that the two people in front of him have no good intentions.

"Of course the Viscount likes these gifts very much, but if the two young masters can't explain why they came, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to accept them!"

Viscount Doyle narrowed his eyes, looked at the two of Simon, and kept thinking about the reason for their visit.

Guy seemed a little embarrassed, but Simon stretched out his right hand calmly, and said to the vigilant Viscount, "Your Excellency, Viscount, can you please come in and have a seat?"

"Of course!" Viscount Doyle knew that the two probably wanted to talk further.

He brought the two of them to the living room and ordered the servant to serve three cups of hot tea. Viscount Doyle motioned for the two to sit down freely.

Guy and Simon were not polite either, they picked a wooden chair and sat down, which happened to be facing Viscount Doyle in a triangle.

"Your Excellency the Viscount, I'll just say it straight!" After sitting down, Simon said straightforwardly: "We are here for your daughter!"

Guy's face turned pale with horror at Simon's frankness, and he unconsciously picked up the teacup and drank it. Fortunately, he is a senior soldier now, otherwise he would definitely be scalded.

"My daughter?" Viscount Doyle frowned, and then there was a cold light in his eyes again.

He is just such a daughter, and he is very precious all day long. If the two of them want to have some bad intentions, then he doesn't mind letting them lie down and go out.

"Yes, Alicia!" Simon nodded to himself, then pointed to Guy beside him.

"In April, Alicia had already agreed to Guy's marriage proposal. We came here this time to get your blessing and consent, and to discuss with you the time for the wedding!"

"Huh?" Viscount Doyle's head was full of question marks.

His daughter has already agreed to someone else's marriage proposal, but his father doesn't know at all, how can this make him not be confused!

Moreover, it seems that his daughter is only fifteen years old!

"The gifts in the yard just now are Guy's betrothal gift for marrying Alicia!" Simon explained while the iron was hot.

"This! Is it a bit too sudden? I have no preparations on my side, and my daughter is only fifteen years old now. Is it too early to get married?" Viscount Doyle said worriedly.

Although he had a good impression when they first met, he didn't know anything about this guy, so how could he trust his daughter to him.

And Alicia is not at home now, and he doesn't know if what the two said is true, what if they just came here to cheat the marriage!

Although he kept saying that his daughter had already agreed to the marriage proposal, what if she didn't?

You know, even if Alicia is unwilling, as long as he let go, the marriage contract will be drawn up on behalf of the two families, and there will be no room for repentance.

In that case, wouldn't he want to ruin his daughter's life!

During the one and a half months of preparation, in order for Simon to formulate corresponding countermeasures, Alicia had already sold her father completely.

Therefore, Simon had already anticipated Viscount Doyle's worries.

"Well, Your Excellency the Viscount, I understand your worries. I can swear to the Moonlight Goddess that Guy is definitely a good guy with good conduct, and he is definitely in love with your daughter!"

Simon was a little nervous when he swore. Strictly speaking, his promise had more or less flaws.

It is certain that two people are in love with each other, but there are some problems with a good guy with good conduct.

He was promoted to a high-ranking soldier at a young age, and he was also a high-achieving student in a military academy. There must be no problem in terms of ability, but the key is in character.

When he didn't propose to Alicia before, Guy's girlfriend in the strict sense was Xiludi, and his behavior of sleeping with Alicia was definitely considered abusive and cheating.

Simon knew that Guy's nature was definitely not bad, but he did have some problems in doing so.

Not only cheating with Xiludi at the same time, but also sleeping with Alicia before getting married, these two behaviors are absolutely morally corrupt.

Fortunately, after the event, Guy has the courage and ability to take on everything.

Therefore, Simon didn't know whether the goddess of moonlight would be serious about his holy son.

After waiting nervously for a moment, Simon breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no divine punishment had come.

Every **** has its own judgment standard, and the moral standards of mortals and gods are also very different, so there is a certain risk in swearing in the name of gods!

Maybe when you swear, there are some situations that you don't know, or think it doesn't matter, but the gods think it's wrong.

There are quite a few unlucky people who died under this kind of divine punishment.

But fortunately, Simon is a relative on the side of the Moonlight Goddess, so he won't embarrass him for such a trivial matter.

Hearing that Simon swore in the name of the goddess of moonlight, and that no divine punishment had yet come, Viscount Doyle's vigilance relaxed a little, but he still did not completely let go of his vigilance.

"Well, I still think it's too early to get married now, or wait a few more years!" Viscount Doyle still had some concerns, and his eyes were full of melancholy.

It's so fast! In a blink of an eye, my daughter is about to get married!

Brother, in a few years your grandson will be able to run all over the place! Simon growled in his heart.

At first, I thought that with him on the scene and holding such a valuable gift, he should be able to deceive the world, deceive the father of Alicia, and agree to the marriage of Gay and the two first.

But now it seems that he still underestimated the concern for his daughter.

"This!" Simon pretended to be a little embarrassed: "After your daughter agreed to propose ~www.readwn.com~ we were so happy that we used our relationship to rent the cathedral from the Moonlight Church as the wedding venue. In a few years, I'm afraid the church will not be willing!"

In this god-supreme world, holding a wedding at the core of an orthodox church, almost no girl can resist the temptation.

In the Silvermoon Kingdom, those who can use the Moonlight Cathedral to hold weddings are nothing more than one or two members of the royal family, as well as those nobles who are willing to spend a large amount of gold coins to [donate] to the church.

It can be said that with the status of Viscount Doyle, according to the normal trajectory of fate, it is absolutely impossible for his daughter to hold a wedding in the cathedral!

But fate is so wonderful, Alicia met Guy, and Guy happened to have a church saint who could make the church sell face.

Viscount Doyle stared at Simon, and suddenly smiled mockingly: "Hehe, Master Simon, do you know what your weakness is?"

Simon's face froze, then the smile on his face disappeared, and he nodded silently.

It was obviously the marriage between Guy and Alicia, but he was the one who kept talking, but Guy, the person involved, kept silent. Even a fool could see the problem.

"Tell me! What's going on?" Viscount Doyle looked at Guy sullenly.

As if he had made a decision, Guy took a deep breath first, and then said with a wry smile: "Okay! Alicia is pregnant!"

A certain father looked indifferent, nodded without any surprise, and then shouted to the servant outside the living room: "Go and get my machete, and close the gate of the house, speed!"

Viscount Doyle roared out the last two words.
