The group returned to the redoubt. Elvin pushed his sister all the way to her room.
Although he hadn't lived here for a day, with Besz as his butler, Elvin knew more about the redoubt and even the harbor than anyone else.
Anita slapped Elvin's hand away. She was a little resistant to his request.
"What's the surprise? Why do I need to change? Is it inappropriate for me to dress like this? "
She even spun around as she spoke.
Elvin lowered his head and glanced at his sister. She was wearing a white shirt with flowery sleeves, a wide belt made of "Living Animal Skin" wrapped around her perfect waist and buttocks, and a pair of slim brown trousers wrapped around her explosive long legs.
After a Grade 3 Grand Knight had undergone several extraordinary transformations, the excellent fragments of his innate genetic information had been fully expressed and further optimized by the dragon bloodline on this basis.
Anita's body was full of feminine curves, but it did not lose the symmetry of a powerful warrior. There was only one word to describe it: amazing!
However, Elvin still pushed her in without any explanation.
"Sister, your status is different today.
As the eldest daughter of the Garriott family, you need to be with me to witness this important moment of the family. At the very least, you have to dress up for the ceremony.
Hersey, go help your sister. "
Olivia covered her mouth and chuckled. She followed Hersey into Anita's room.
"No problem. Leave it to me."
Bang!
The door was closed.
As expected, dressing up had nothing to do with a woman's strength.
It was only after an hour had passed that Anita and Olivia finally reappeared before the three of them, accompanied by Olivia.
However, her current appearance made everyone's eyes light up. It was worth the wait.
She changed out of her shirt and trousers. With Olivia's help, she put on the exquisite sky-blue dress Elvin had brought back for her. She tied her hair into a dignified and elegant hairstyle.
He had bought it for Anita when he was filling Olivia's wardrobe. They were all stored in Olivia's bracelet. In fact, even Angel had a set.
There were ordinary household dresses, normal outfits, and formal dresses for important ceremonies.
However, compared to shirts and trousers, this kind of clothes looked good, but there was also a bit of a disadvantage.
No matter how strong she was, it was impossible for a single person to wear those complicated inner linings that men simply couldn't understand.
Now, Anita was wearing a hairpin, necklace, earrings, bracelets, and rings. She was also wearing a pair of high heels with pearls on her feet. She had transformed into a dignified and gentle young lady of a noble family.
Well, Anita's life was supposed to be like this.
Although she did not know what she was going to do, Olivia had arranged everything for her sister.
This was because after coming ashore, her identity was no longer Pirate King Emerald Light, but the eldest daughter of the Garliot family, the elder sister of the current Viscount Garliot.
At such an important moment, even the ancestors of the Garriott family, who were adventurers, probably hoped that the girl, who was only 21 years old this year, could witness the milestone of the family's revival in such a graceful manner.
However …
Although the girl looked very beautiful, the magnificent emerald color of her hair was rare, and it was easy to make unnecessary associations.
Anita was about to go back to the closet that had been stuffed by Olivia to pick a veil to wear when the girl next to her handed her a hairpin inlaid with colorful tourmaline.
"Sister, here, use this. It can visually change the appearance, eye color, and hair color. It can also hide the majestic life force of a Knight to a certain extent. It's a very practical little prop. "
After gently lowering her head and letting the girl put it on her, Anita's appearance immediately changed back to the same style as Elvin's.
They had wavy brown hair, black eyes, and a similar appearance. When the two of them stood together, there was no need for any proof. Everyone knew that they were siblings.
"Thank you, Hersey."
Anita smiled gently at Olivia, who was holding the mirror for her. From this little prop, she realized that this innocent and cute "good girl" seemed to be different from what she had imagined.
She was … a very interesting girl.
.....
Georgia Territory.
The port city of the largest city and capital – Brunswick.
As one of the original six royal colonies, it was directly governed by the governor sent by the royal family. It was mainly a bicameral system. Members of the upper house were appointed by the queen and served as the governor's council. The lower house was elected by the free people.
But of course.
The upper house also continued the consistent tradition of the kingdom's mainland. The strongest group of people in the colony served as members of parliament. They were composed of big plantation owners, big mine owners, big merchants, and the fallen nobles who reemerged in the New World.
Without the support of this group of people, even the governor's orders would be difficult to implement in the colony.
And in the colony's ruling system, of course, officials at all levels were inextricably linked to these people.
So …
When a huge piece of land of 100,000 square kilometers suddenly changed owners, the first to bear the brunt were these noble gentlemen.
In a tea room in the Governor's Mansion, the big shots of the Georgia territory, who were rarely seen, were already gathered here.
"Everyone, the emissary has entered the governor's mansion. The new owner of this land will soon arrive. How should we deal with it? "
Someone couldn't hold it in, put down the well-made teacup in his hand, and spoke first.
"Hahaha, Mr. Nayden, that's just a young man. Even if the governor comes to check in person, what can he do? The accounts are flawless. If he wants the land, just give it to him. But we have worked hard to govern the colony for many years, so we should get a reward. "
A mustached gentleman with a fine pure silver pipe in his mouth didn't care and blew a smoke ring gently.
"Mr. Smideli, when you first gave us the news, you didn't say that the one who received the territory was the famous' destroyer '!"
Mr. Nayden, who spoke first, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked a little gentle. The experience of the "Battle of Benin" in the Southern Continent had long been widely publicized, and someone's legend level had increased by at least ten percent.
Not to say that everyone knew about it, but the people who should know about it already knew.
"Yes, and he is also the deputy commander of the kingdom's garrison in the New World. He solved the large-scale epidemic around the Golden Sea last year. This is a tricky person."
Another very wealthy merchant in the teahouse also echoed his words.
"I also heard that the viscount became the Crown Prince's Guardian Knight at the age of 16. I just don't know what kind of contribution he made that the kingdom made an exception to grant him a territory, and it's the entire Georgia territory. "
“.....”
In the tea room filled with smoke, a group of big shots talked and shared the information in their hands.
"Haha, don't scare yourselves. Maybe this General Garriott is really strong, but under the kingdom's system, having power doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.
Whether we have a problem or not, we have to show evidence. What's more, are you going to spit out what you've eaten and give it back to him? "
The mustached Mr. Smideli, who was faintly the leader, knocked his silver pipe on the table and said this. After that, the room suddenly became silent.
It was impossible to spit it out, not in this lifetime. Serious business was too slow to make money. It was taking advantage of the opportunity to embezzle some of the country's property to maintain their lives.
Outside the window.
Flutter — —
A seagull quietly flew away.
.....
This group of big shots who had just eaten with oil dripping from their mouths probably didn't expect the viscount to come so quickly.
Near the evening.
Da … Da … Da …
An unmarked carriage slowly stopped in front of the Governor George's Mansion under the escort of a team of capable and sturdy Marine soldiers.
Elvin took the lead and stepped out of the carriage.
Dressed in a straight Major General uniform, shiny military boots, a big mane fluttering in the wind, a gilded sword hanging from his waist, and the breath on his body was as deep as the sea.
He turned around and helped the two beautiful girls down one by one in a very gentlemanly manner.
Even now, Anita still didn't understand what this trip was about.
In fact, early this morning, the "Storm Horn" carried Hawkins, some of the core staff of Mercury Company, and the elite officials supported by Marquis Far Sail. They launched the [White Shark Cruise] and arrived in Georgia one step ahead of time to arrange everything.
Iven flew over with Olivia and his sister. With Boris's meticulous arrangements, the viscount's entourage was not shabby at all.
At this moment.
Headed by Governor Childe, a big shot of the House of Representatives, the highest official of the local garrison, and the peak official Knight Colonel Robert were already waiting here.
In the garrison that served as the police force, other than the Chief Major General Martin Christopher and the Deputy Chief Elvin, the highest official of each colonial capital was a colonel.
When Governor Childe saw the future master of this territory, he took a step forward and shook hands with Elvin in a polite and reserved manner.
"Your Excellency Viscount, good day! Welcome to Georgia. "
As someone trusted by Her Majesty, after the territory was handed over, he would definitely not stay. He naturally had some confidence in facing Elvin.
"Mr. Governor, we meet again."
Although he hadn't been the second-in-command of the New World's garrison for a long time, he was acquainted with Governor Child of Georgia and could understand his current feelings.
Colonel Robert, who was technically Elvin's subordinate, was about to salute and greet his immediate superior, but someone beat him to it.
The bearded man, Smedley, had a respectful attitude and bowed very low. As a successful person, his ability to put up a front and act another way was perfect.
"Your Excellency Viscount, good day! I … "
Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Elvin with a wave of his hand. Unlike the pleasant expression he had when facing the governor, his eyes were sharp and his tone was indifferent.
"I'm fine, but I think you'll be fine soon."
Smedley's heart skipped a beat. He immediately realized that the visitor was not friendly, and this young man had no intention of playing by the rules.
He argued, "What do you mean by this?"
Elvin ignored him and stared at a person in the crowd.
"Mr. Senior, forged bills and embezzled 2,200 Gold Lions from public funds."
Then he turned to another person.
"Mr. Tim, created a fire and embezzled one-third of the reserves in the colony's granary."
Elvin looked at the big shots in the Senate one by one. It was his first time meeting them, but he accurately reported each person's name. Every name he reported was followed by a heavy number.
"Mr. Nayden disposed of a batch of 3,000 tons of high-quality iron ingots in the colony's steel mill according to the price of scrap iron … Mr. Smedley falsified the output of the coal mine and embezzled half a year's output of the territory. The originally publicly owned Castrimo Trading Company was sold to Jackson's private trading company at a low price …
Fill up all the holes before sunrise tomorrow. Otherwise, all of you can go to the prison of the garrison forces and stay there.
Oh, by the way, when you return it, each of you have to pay a 3% late fee. Is that okay? "
Before the news of the kingdom spread to the New World, Elvin's spiritualized seabirds were already stationed beside every big shot.
Although it was a takeover of the territory, it was actually similar to the one the company bought.
During the handover, the aspects that were most likely to cause the loss of assets were: confirming the current assets and fixed assets, clarifying the main forces in the territory, recent abnormal transactions, paying attention to the debt situation to avoid being taken advantage of …
Fortunately, Georgia was the latest to be established among the six royal colonies, and its inherent forces were not strong.
In other words, in the eyes of ordinary people, it was an unshakable force. In the eyes of Elvin, who had already established the forces of the underworld and the righteous, well, it was just that.
"No … no problem, sir, please rest assured."
Their voices were stuttering as they answered. One could imagine the shock these words gave them.
Drip … drip …
Then, although it was just the beginning of June, beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down from the heads of these big shots.
It was laughable that when they wanted to take a bite of the fat meat, they had already been figured out. The numbers were already reported, would there be a lack of evidence?
Whoosh —
Too lazy to look at them, Elvin flung the cloak behind him and walked into the governor's mansion first.
Olivia and the pensive Anita lifted their skirts and followed closely behind.
