The Great Age of Voyage of the Elves

Chapter 69

The days that followed passed quickly.

Siegfried's award ceremony was over, and there was no need for the Cleveland to stay in the capital for a long time.

On the afternoon of the third day after purchasing the elves, Mu received a letter informing that the ship was about to set sail.

On this day he came to say goodbye to his brother Schifer.

"Are you really going? Why don't you want to come back? We are a family after all."

There was a little helplessness and exhaustion in Schiffer's tone.

The cousin Catherine behind her had one hand on her waist, her eyes were deliberately staggered to the side, but it was rare that she didn't quarrel with Mu today.

Faced with his brother's persuasion, Mu was silent for a long time, and then suddenly asked: "Brother, do you believe that enfeoffing nobles really represents the glory of the kingdom?"

Schiffer was a little puzzled, but he still replied without thinking: "Of course, we are the arm of the king to govern the country and the foundation of the kingdom's prosperity."

Faced with Schiffer's certainty, Mu didn't refute it, because he already knew that it was meaningless, so he just smiled lightly.

"Hey, if, I mean if, the answer to this question changes in the future, then let me reserve another possibility for the continuation of the family."

For the first time, his words made Schiffer look serious, and he was even a little shocked.

This may be Schiffer's first real realization that his younger brother's departure may not be due to some kind of childish resentment and rebellion, as he has always thought.

"Is there another possibility for the continuation of the family..." He muttered and chewed on Mu's words, and gradually realized that he couldn't see through the younger brother who had just grown up in front of him.

He was a little distracted and said to himself for a while: "Maybe, father's decision was really wrong that time, maybe, they all despised you too much, maybe, those people in the family have never really seen your wisdom..."

He used three maybes in a row, which is enough to show his amazement and admiration at the moment.

Schiffer's praise did not shake Mu's decision, he still smiled calmly, and he had made up his mind to go.

It seems that he has a high-level demeanor.

Provided he shuts up about it.

"So, brother, in order to save one more possibility for the family, why don't you sponsor me a little more?"

This opening of his mouth immediately failed.

Catherine on the side made a heavy "cut" at this time, thinking that you, a cunning guy, can be regarded as showing your big tail.

However, to her disappointment, her always shrewd elder brother Schifer failed to see through the details of the "big-tailed wolf" in front of him at the first time this time. Instead, he gently promised Mu funds and resources worth no less than [-] silver dollars.

"Hey, Brother Schiffer! Don't be fooled by him!"

She tried to dissuade her several times, but Schiffer always turned a deaf ear to her.

After Mu left, Catherine pestered Schiff angrily and said, "Brother Schiff, you are too...too kind this time, right? Why were you so easily deceived by that guy?!"

However, Schiff just laughed, patted her head and said, "No, he didn't lie to me, and he couldn't lie to me.

Because to the family, the things he took away were not worth mentioning, but if the possibility he retained in the future really played a role, it might save the life of the entire family.

Although I still don't think what he said is correct, for a family that has been passed down for a hundred years, it is never a bad thing to have one more possibility of survival. "

As a man who will almost certainly become the head of the Eliak family in the future, Schiffer's vision is no longer limited to the gains and losses of a few silver dollars like his little cousin. He focuses on the inheritance and survival of the family for a hundred years.

Catherine couldn't understand this, but it didn't prevent her from correcting her thoughts in an instant——

"Brother Schiffer is amazing~~"

……

The next day, the USS Cleveland officially departed from the canal port next to the Acropolis of the Royal Capital, and embarked on a voyage back to the base of the Third Fleet in York Harbor.

Mu also returned to the team on time with what he had collected, and they returned to the boat together.

On the first day of the voyage, Clemdelli joked with him before passing by the captain's room: "Hey, you're really back, why are you willing to part with those beautiful little sisters at the ball? I heard that many of them are expecting you to stay in the capital for a long time, and you don't want to leave anything before leaving?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After hearing this, Mu coughed violently.

He didn't expect that even the news from the noble ball in the capital would reach here, which made him feel that the people on board were well-informed.

As for refuting or speaking up?
Don't make trouble, he can't even handle the reserved ladies at the ball, how can he speak yellow accents better than the female hooligans on the navy's capital ship...

So he had to retreat.

Fortunately, after a while, Zieg flew out and called him into the captain's cabin, which saved him from disaster.

After entering, Siegfried motioned him to sit down, and talked to him frankly: "I think you may have learned that when I was in the capital, I was invited to serve in the First Fleet, but I declined."

Mu nodded.

He did know this already.

At this moment, Siegfried put his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers under his chin, looked at him and said, "And your family is more inclined to support the First Fleet at present, so, have you really made up your mind to come back?"

Mu nodded, answering as freely and freely as always.

"Yes, I thought it through very clearly. To tell you the truth, Captain, this time someone in the capital also invited me to join the First Fleet, and even promised that I would be the captain of a battleship within three years, but I also didn't agree to him."

Siegfried couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

He really didn't know what Mu was talking about.

"Then you—why still?"

Mu Saran smiled and said, "Of course it's because you have been promoted to major general, captain."

Siegfried looked puzzled.

Mu then explained: "I don't believe that the senior management of the fleet will not respond to the recent aggressive attack of His Highness, at least for now, the route to the east coast of the New World is not within the cruise range of the First Fleet. I think the fleet command should have some countermeasures for the current situation, right?

In the past, our level was too low, so we probably wouldn’t be able to find out even if there were countermeasures, but it’s different now, Captain, you’re a general anyway, and I’ll follow you after you go back, so you should be able to know some details, right? "

This time Mu Kesuan expressed his true inner thoughts.

To be honest, he didn't follow the navy without thinking. If the ship he is currently serving is not a capital ship, or if his captain is still just an ordinary officer, then to be honest, even if he is not optimistic about the future of the nobles, he will probably still choose to stay in the capital and work with his brother Schifer.

That way at least his own strength can grow faster, and even if he encounters changes in the future, he still has the capital to re-elect his position.

And now the reason why he dares to bet on the navy with all his eggs in one basket is because he feels that the captain he is with is quite promising at present——

Young and promising, with the rank of major general, not long ago, he just rejected the personal offer of the leader of the hostile faction. His ability and loyalty are impeccable.

At least Mu felt that if he was a senior executive of the fleet, he would definitely promote and cultivate a captain like Siegfried.

So follow suit.

So far Siegfried can be considered to understand.

He laughed and scolded: "Fucking fuck! I've been worrying about you for a long time, and you treat me as a pot for exploring the way?"

(Huhu: The famous flesh-shield elf, with almost no offensive ability, but the defense and special defense are overwhelmingly superior to the beasts. It is an excellent choice for injury-bearing positions.)
