"Tighten the sails and tie the cargo

What else do you need?

Hurry up young man!

vast sky and ocean

they make you a man

Remember to follow the dance steps correctly

we never look back

Just as the goddess wishes

we become braver

We fold our laughter into envelopes

To my hometown on a distant shore

Oh my johnny!"

The sailors were cleaning the warship that was unscathed after a great battle, and they were singing in unison the songs of the brave sailors on the sea.

Cheerful songs floated on the warship, seabirds hovered above everyone, and from time to time in the sea next to them, white dolphins, which the sailors loved so much, jumped out of the water, as if they were also affected by the sailors' songs.

After winning the first battle and annihilating the big pirate with a bounty of more than three thousand golden lions, the crew, with unprecedented cohesion and self-confidence, drove the "Conch" to ride the wind and waves, heading towards the "St. Martin Island Naval Base" marked on the navigation chart.

Of course they have reason to be happy

But now the sun is almost disappearing below the sea level.

Although the fighting spirit was high after today's big battle, everyone was actually very tired. Ivan, who was not in a hurry, decided to anchor down and rest tonight, and then continue moving forward after dawn tomorrow (during normal navigation, sailboats usually use three

One shift or two shifts, the ship will not take a rest if people take a rest).

"My captain, please find us a suitable anchorage as a temporary haven."

As the navigator, Milan, who is most familiar with sea conditions and routes, stepped forward to pilot the "Conch".

Living up to his performance in the Third Fleet, just an hour and a half later, with the last ray of light on the sea, he led the "Conch" to the edge of a small island that was not even recorded on the navigation chart.

We walked around to the side of the island to block the howling sea wind from the sea, lowered the sails and anchored, and successfully settled down.

The ship's chef prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone using the best ingredients stored in supplies and fresh fish caught by the sailors. Barrels of rum were brought out to celebrate this great victory with zero casualties.

, and also raise a toast together to praise Captain Alvin’s wisdom and strength!

"Cheers! To victory!"

"Cheers! To our great captain!"

"Haha, cheers! To the bravest sailors on the sea!"

""

After drinking and eating, the first mate took charge of the specific arrangements for tonight's duty, and everyone else went to rest early.

As a captain, Ivan is of course responsible for the safety of his men, especially in this unfamiliar sea area. He has already sent his seabirds to detect the movements on the island.

After confirming that there were no dangerous predators worth noting, he let the first mate make his own arrangements and returned to the captain's cabin.

Gu Gu Gu Gu

The owl Bess, who had already made his home in the captain's cabin, saw his master coming in and cooed twice. Night is when this guy is at his most energetic, and even witchcraft can't erase this nature.

"Bess, go out and play by yourself, don't run too far."

Let Bass, who is as active as a child, go out on his own. He is already smart enough and does not need Alvin to worry too much.

Lighting the gas lamp, Alvin took out the "Eagle Warrior Training Method" which was obtained from the indigenous youth, and studied it carefully word for word.

Combining the above records with my own accumulation of mysterious knowledge, I have several good inspirations and application plans in my mind.

“Although this method of engraving natural spirit totem tattoos on the body seems very powerful, it is mixed with too many factors related to faith and impurities of natural spirit worship.

If I want to use this power, should I find a way to simplify this totem, completely abandon the influence of the so-called natural spirits and faith power, or simply use it in the form of some kind of rune?

At least the direction of this power shouldn’t be some dangerous guy with independent consciousness!”

Alvin held his chin in his hand and fell into deep thought.

There is no doubt that the totem power of the "Eagle Warrior" is a very useful power, but it is not that easy to analyze it casually.

If one simply engraved the corresponding "spiritual text" on one's body, then the wizard pioneers who participated in the development of the New World a hundred years ago would have already perfected this power and even absorbed it into the wizard's system.

To make the corresponding "runes" take effect, a whole system may be needed to support them, which is no simpler than re-establishing a transcendent language system.

Putting aside the problems that needed to be solved for the time being, Alvin decided to thoroughly study this unique extraordinary system first, at least to the extent that it could be replicated in others before thinking about how to improve it.

While studying and writing on paper, in addition to recording "data-based vision" at any time, Ivan also recorded every key knowledge in his own witchcraft notes for easy reference later.

Although "data-based vision" is more convenient than paper documents, Ivan always feels that in the process of writing, knowledge is easier to understand, digest and then draw inferences.

It has to be said that in addition to having the help of a "golden finger" to see every bit of his progress at any time, good study habits and self-discipline are the foundation for Aiwen to reach this point.

Even if he loses his "digital vision" now, he will not disappear from the public!

"Huh, it turns out that studying is the most fulfilling."

Unknowingly, the time was approaching midnight. Ivan rolled up the animal skin, turned off the gas lamp, climbed into bed and began his own meditation practice.

Since having an independent captain's cabin with better conditions, Ivan's efficiency in his nightly meditation routine has been significantly improved compared to when he was on the "Silver Wing".

With the precious handbook records and auxiliary potions obtained from the inheritance of the "School of Alchemy", Ivan's mental power index has reached 0.55 after being employed as a wizard for only half a year, which is very close to the 0.66 required by the apprentice in the later stage.

Although until today, Ivan has been using the basic meditation method obtained from Leon's pharmacy notes, the advantage is that it is solid and stable without any bias, and it will not hinder future path choices.

After returning to Gablade from "Newport".

It would be ridiculous to think that Ivan would do this kind of thing in his previous life, but Ivan did ask Milan to do a divination about his future path.

However, I don’t know if it’s because of Milan’s limited ability or something else. Over and over again, there is only one nonsense sentence that makes people confused:

"Follow the guidance of your heart, and difficulties will eventually turn around."! Saying it is the same as not saying it.

All things considered, although the "Poison Science" of the Alchemy School is very good, it is limited by raw materials. The higher the level of potion raw materials are, the rarer they are. Not to mention the "Fountain of Youth", the final creation of the "Potion Branch" of the Alchemy School.

You may not be able to find the raw materials even if you search the sea.

Even if the technology is first-rate and reaches the advanced standard, it is often difficult for a skilled woman to make a meal without rice. And if you choose this path, your career focus will inevitably be focused on researchers, just like Dilis now.

But the adventurer's blood that has been boiling in his body makes Alvin unwilling to just engage in research work. It would be better if he could also gain the power to conquer "the sea and the unknown" while working part-time.

For the time being, Alvin resisted the temptation to immediately switch to the "Alchemy School Meditation Method" and followed his inner voice and decided to wait.

Hua Hua Hua

The faint sound of waves surging outside the window made Alvin's heart calmer and calmer. He was deeply immersed in a state of meditation. His mental power slowly grew and became sharper at the same time.

Outside the door, there were the sounds of the sailors on night watch patrolling back and forth, the sounds of two watchmen chatting in low voices on the mast observation deck, the constant snoring inside the cabin, and even the chirping of birds and insects coming from the island not far away.

Ming.

This state of almost breathing with the world is deeply intoxicating.

Slowly, the keen spiritual touch penetrated deeper into the body, the mental power slowly increased and strengthened, and Alvin also entered into deep meditation with full concentration.

So he didn't notice at all that some unknown changes in the outside world were quietly happening.

Bobo

Two huge bubbles appeared on the dark sea surface in the distance, and a huge black shadow seemed to swim under the water, and disappeared again in an instant.

"Hey, why did it suddenly fog up?" The lookouts on the two masts looked at the white fog gradually rising on the sea, and one of them reminded his companions softly.

"It's quite normal this season. I just hope it can disperse tomorrow and not delay our schedule." The companion took a brass monocular and looked around for a while, but nothing unusual happened.

"I hope so! Yawn, I don't know why I feel particularly sleepy tonight. I wish I could just sleep on the mast."

"Don't sleep, although I'm a little sleepy too! But just hold on and we'll change shifts. If the first mate sees you and whips you twice, don't expect me to plead with you!"

"Hmm, okay, snoring and snoring if I don't sleep."

"Hululu"

The two people on duty were chatting just now, but now they fell asleep as soon as they could.

What's even more weird is that they closed their eyes and snored, and slipped down the mast one after another, and walked step by step into the increasingly thick fog that had spread to the deck.
Chapter completed!
