Chapter 122 Basel Nobles (Subscribe!)

The early morning sun was not too hot, and the sea breeze blowing to the shore carried a slightly damp and salty smell.

Although these soldiers in front of them had been fighting for a whole night, there was no sign of fatigue on their faces.

This could be said to be the first time that Idar's naval soldiers set foot on land outside of Idar's territory. Therefore, not only the lowest-level soldiers, but even the naval admiral Mal Karen, were quite excited.

There is a first time for everything...

This was the most precious first time for the Idar Navy! Boxes of gold coins were carried out of Kelvin's castle by Idar's soldiers. Although it was heavy to carry, the soldiers were filled with happiness.

Although most of these captured spoils would be stored in the treasury of Idar County and then used by the Earl, the soldiers had no objection to this and did not have the slightest complaint.

After all, the instructor in charge of lecturing to the naval soldiers had already said long ago that the Earl was a diligent and motivated person, and after these gold coins and spoils were handed over to the Earl, they would often be used where Idar County needed them most.

The Earl will work with many officials to develop the most appropriate use plan based on the actual situation of Idar Territory, but no matter how it is used, the Idar people, including these soldiers, will benefit! In the long run, measures such as insecticide, renovation of Idar City, and collection of feces promoted by Idar Territory these days have greatly benefited the families and friends of these soldiers.

To put it more recently, it is precisely because of the support of the Earl that the Idar soldiers can now use brand new three- masted warships and a large number of magic crystal bombs. Otherwise, how could they have such good things? Without the full support of the Earl, how could today's battle be so easy? I am afraid that the number of casualties alone would have tripled! Besides, the salary Idar receives is relatively generous even in the entire empire, so how could the soldiers have other thoughts? Just as Admiral Mal Karen was busy counting the spoils of this battle, an Idar soldier came over and said, "Sir, there is a guy who claims to be a Basel who wants to see you."

"Nobles?" Mal Karen was stunned.

"He claims to be a Basel nobleman imprisoned in Kelvin's dungeons," the soldier added.

…

There is also a dungeon under the castle of pirate leader Kelvin.

Unlike the stuffiness on the ground, even though it was summer, the dungeon under the castle was extremely cold.

Perhaps because it is deep underground, there always seems to be a layer of damp water vapor on the cold stone walls, which makes people feel a biting gloom.

The light in the dungeon was very dim, and there were some dried bloodstains on the ground, making the atmosphere of the entire dungeon seem particularly depressing and cramped.

The noble robe that Wally Harlin was wearing had been torn to pieces, so that his face and body were stained with dirt and blood. He was wrapped in a wet straw mat and curled up in the innermost corner of the cell, shivering.

He carved fourteen lines on the wall with stones, which meant... this was already his fourteenth day in the dungeon...

The days in the dungeon were so dark that he could only count the time by the number of times the pirates came to bring him food.

“A-choo!”

Wally Harlin rubbed his slightly swollen nose and couldn't help sneezing.

He was a nobleman of the Kingdom of Basel. He had just followed his father's orders and led a few guards to take a ship to the Odin Empire to buy Highland horses produced on the Arctic ice field.

Unexpectedly, they were robbed by pirates on the way to the Odin Empire...

This shouldn't be the case...

Although pirate groups like the Coral Island Pirates are quite powerful on the coast of the Kingdom of Basel, this is mainly aimed at civilians.

As a noble, you can pass safely as long as you give a little money and make some arrangements.

But what Wally Harlin didn't expect was that this time, the pirates didn't play by the rules. Although they had taken the money he had paid, they still went back on their word and arrested him...

When he thought of this, Wally Harlin felt particularly aggrieved.

These damn pirates have absolutely no moral principles!

However, unlike other stupid nobles in this world, Wally Harlin had already understood from the pirates' words why he was captured.

That is... the right to inherit the title!

As Wally Harlin's father grew older, as the youngest and most beloved son of Viscount Harlin, Wally Harlin naturally became a thorn in the eyes and flesh of his two older brothers.

After all, the inheritance system of the Kingdom of Basel does not distinguish between the old and the young. As long as your father likes you, you can inherit the title.

Therefore, it was obvious why he was captured by pirates...

Maybe... it was because his two dear brothers gave the pirates a large sum of money...

However, maybe the two dear brothers didn't give enough money, or Kelvin originally wanted to use the existence of Wally Harlin to blackmail him again.

Therefore, Wally Harlin's life was saved for the time being.

But until last night! Although Wally Harlin was in prison, he could still vaguely hear the roar coming from outside the dungeon, as well as the intermittent shouts of killing! Then...

After an unknown amount of time, Wally Harlin finally saw a team of fully armed soldiers in the dungeon!

After some inquiries, Wally Harlin finally figured out the identities of these soldiers. They were naval officers from the Norman Empire's Idar Territory! Although they were the Norman Empire's army, Wally Harlin had no resistance to it, and he was too lazy to consider why the Norman Empire's soldiers appeared in the waters around the Kingdom of Basel...

After all, he was still in prison, so how could he care about these things? Besides... in Wally Harlin's opinion, dealing with the nobles of the Norman Empire was always much easier than dealing with pirates.

Therefore, being rescued by these Idar soldiers who had no conflict of interest with him actually made Wally Harin feel much more at ease.

At least, it was impossible that these Idar soldiers took money from his two brothers to murder him!

"Lord Mal Karen, I hope to go to Idar Territory to visit Lord Earl Idar and thank him in person for saving my life."

As soon as they met, Wally Harlin went straight to the point.

And Wally Harlin's demands and frank words obviously caught Mal Callen off guard.

Originally, he was planning to use the name of the Crusaders to explain why Idar's army appeared in the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Basel, but he did not expect that the nobleman in front of him did not care about it at all.

Before the Idar officer could ask a question, Wally Harlin spoke first: "I am Wally Harlin, the son of Viscount Harlin of the Kingdom of Basel. I have something important to discuss with your lord."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The so-called important matters were just Wally Harlin's rhetoric.

For Wally Harin, the most important thing was to get these Idar people in front of him to take him away from the coral island.

However, Wally did not dare to return to Viscount Harlin's territory for a while.

After all, although he had the support of Viscount Harlin, he didn't know what kind of tricks his two dear brothers had prepared for him.

The current situation is actually extremely favorable to Wally Harlin.

Because, at this moment, in the impression of his two brothers, Wally Harlin had already been cut into pieces by the pirates! In this case, it would be better to let this idea remain in the hearts of his two brothers...

Mal Karen really couldn't think of any reason to refuse the suggestion given by Wally Harlin.

After all, the other party was a nobleman. After being rescued by the Idar people, he went to the Idar chieftain in person to express his gratitude, which was a very aristocratic etiquette.

Therefore, Mal Karen had no choice but to nod in agreement and prepared a room for Wally Harlin on the three-masted warship in advance.

…

The Idar army led by Mal Karen did not stay on the Coral Island for long.

After a thorough plunder of the spoils at Coral Island, the three-masted warship sailed out of the Coral Island pier early the next morning.

Wally Harlin stood on the deck of the three-masted warship and looked around curiously.

After washing up, Wally Harlin finally appeared in front of everyone in an aristocratic appearance.

After all, he is just a teenager who just turned seventeen this year.

There is a long and thin scar on his young face, which was caused by a sword during the confrontation with pirates. Instead of disfiguring his appearance, it adds a bit of determination.

But if the sword had been a little closer, Wally Harlin would have been killed long ago.

As a son of a noble family, Wally Harlin considered himself to be well-informed, but as he looked at the Idar warship he was on, he suddenly became curious about Idar, which was far away in the Norman Empire.

After all...few men can resist the temptation of a three-masted warship!

Even though most people of this era have not yet set their sights on the ocean, the sharp streamlined shape of the three-masted sailing ship is still unforgettable and deeply remembered.

The three-masted warship was sailing at full speed towards Lord Idar, braving the wind and waves. The howling sea breeze blew across the deck, dissipating the warmth of the morning sun.

Wally Harlin looked deeply at the outline of the coral island that was gradually disappearing in front of his eyes. He couldn't help but hold the railing on the side of the boat tightly with both hands, without saying a word.

Basel, I will definitely come back...

Of course, there are also those two dear brothers...

Let me make it clear in advance that this chapter is really not a joke! Harlem is a very important character in the subsequent plot.
