In the captain's cabin.

Alvin and Milan sat on both sides of the desk, and Milan's high-quality crystal ball was placed on the smooth mahogany table.

"Although sometimes divination can give us the most direct answer, it is best not to place all hope of solving the problem on divination.

The spiritual world is too complicated. The more we seek accurate predictions, the more fate will play a roundabout game with us.

Fate will give us inspiration, but sometimes it will only lead us astray."

As he said this, Milan also had some lingering fear on his face. Wasn't that what happened when he encountered the "Shark Tooth Pirates"?

I expected the prophecy to appear, but fate played a terrible joke on me!

However, facing the mission deadline of one month, Ivan was already somewhat dissatisfied with sticking to a fixed route and getting the predicted results of "reward" or "no gain".

Finally, we still have to use Milan’s accurate prediction.

However, Ivan also knows how to predict how to get the first place in the "Navy Rising Star" competition, which is far beyond Milan's ability.

But other predictions, such as which route will yield the greatest rewards? The whereabouts of a specific pirate with a very high bounty? Or even where is the strongest enemy that the "Conch" can deal with? It should still be feasible.

Follow these ideas to get a relatively accurate answer.

Only you and "Conch" have the greatest chance of getting first place, getting priority, and getting the "Golden Compass"!

Therefore, all he responded to Milan at this time was a firm look.

"Okay, I get it."

Milan has no choice but to try his best to give Alvin a try!

Moreover, he thought that with the "Misty Silver Lamp", a secret ocean treasure, even if there was a problem with his interpretation of the prophecy, he would encounter a powerful being that was beyond the ability of the "Conch" to deal with it.

You can advance, attack, retreat or defend. At least the safety of the "Conch" can be guaranteed.

The spices were lit and the spell casting began, and a mysterious atmosphere suddenly enveloped the captain's room.

Light mist began to flow in the crystal ball, projecting into Milan's eyes and turning into complicated stardust. Infinite information and secrets were contained in it.

There are good ones and bad ones, shortcuts and wrong paths. Milan, as a "prophet", needs to sift through all kinds of complicated symbols one by one.

Because there is no specific spellcasting medium like finding people or finding objects, precise pointing is impossible. This work requires Milan to spend a lot of time and energy to interpret it in order to get an answer full of imagery.

Time passed little by little, and almost half an hour later, Milan, who was sweating slightly on his forehead, finally opened his eyes:

"Crystal, treasure, death, spinning windmill

This image should be that a big opportunity is coming along with a big danger, and the opportunity and danger are pointing at both of us at the same time?

The morning star has lit up, soon!

Hey! What's going on?"

Gu Gu Gu Gu

Suddenly, Bess, who had been quiet in the captain's cabin, suddenly shouted twice, interrupting Milan's next words.

The light mist in the crystal ball completely dissipated, and the two people suddenly raised their heads.

"This signal? Pirates are coming again!"

Without hesitation, Ivan had immediately accessed Seabird's vision, and Milan also released a "spiritual connection" to access it as well.

call

The field of view switches. From the bird's bird's-eye view in the depths, two ships on the sea are chasing each other and escaping.

Although the boat in front is theoretically faster and more agile, its mainsail is full of holes that look like they were eaten by moths, and the bowmast has even fallen down, causing the sailboat's speed to drop significantly.

On the other hand, the battleship at the back was loaded with something unknown, its draft was extremely deep, and its speed was slower than that of a normal battleship.

Overall, the speeds of the two are almost equal, resulting in this long-term stalemate.

"A fourth-tier battleship?"

In powerful navies, even fourth-tier ships sometimes cannot enter the main battle line.

But it is enough to become a flagship in large-scale ocean escort missions, and even has the qualifications to sail alone on the ocean. It is almost the strongest warship that can be encountered outside under normal circumstances.

"Did you bump into your colleague? No."

When I first saw this scene, Ivan thought it was a scene of a naval battleship chasing a pirate ship, but at the second glance, he discovered that the two ships, one large and one small, were actually black sails.

What was going on in front of me turned out to be a drama of internal fighting among pirates!

At this time, Milan's voice came from the "soul connection":

"The 'Ironbone' and the 'Bonegrave'!

Has the monster Bassem finally set his sights on William, a guy with a special identity who has encountered a lot of ups and downs? He absorbs the lives of the strong, intercepts their fate, and prepares to be promoted to the third level of the 'Sorcerer of Destiny'?!

Has he come this far? No!"

Although Milan was not on the ship when Ivan and the others encountered the "Iron Bone", Milan still recognized who the two ships belonged to immediately with his knowledge.

And he seemed to know a lot about Bassem, a big pirate who behaved strangely.

Ivan is no stranger to these two pirate ships. One is an old acquaintance, and the other is one of the top names on the wanted list.

At this time, he had already known that his previous misunderstanding was purely a misunderstanding, and Iron Bone William did not join the Pirate King to participate in the "Massacre at Moby Dick Harbor" because his name was indeed not on Ilya's wanted list.

Although the guy chasing him was on the wanted list and was the "big fish" he had longed for, this fish was a bit too big.

"Basem is a second-level peak transcendent. According to military intelligence, he is suspected of being a transcendent of the 'Necromancy School' and related paths. He has mastered a variety of magical abilities, and he also has a full ship from an unknown country.

The battleship of the 'Zombie'.

Powerful, strange, and terrifying, he has been given various negative labels by many people, including his fellow pirates.

Even in the pirate alliance organized by Pirate King Huggins, he is a prominent figure, and it is not an exaggeration to even call him the strongest under the Pirate King.

After the massacre, Ilya's bounty for him was also greatly increased. One person and one boat could equal the entire 'Shark Tooth Pirate Group' back then, reaching an astonishing eight thousand golden lions, not counting his.

worth of a battleship!”

It can be said that as long as he can succeed in this vote, Ivan's throne as the number one "Naval Star" will basically be stable, unless someone kills the Pirate King.

But the question Ai Wen is considering now is, should he take action? What are his chances of winning if he takes action?

But how could I be willing to let such a big fish go by?

"Evan, let's go!" Suddenly, Milan's eager invitation to fight came from the "Psychic Connection".

"Huh? When did you become so active in dealing with such a cruel guy?"

However, since even Milan supported it, Ivan did not hesitate anymore, he was still confident in his trump card.

After exiting the seabird's sight, he decisively gave the order to the crew:

"All personnel are on level three combat readiness, and the battle is expected to take place in one hour! The 'Thumb' pulled up the traction rope and followed the 'Conch', heading northeast, facing the wind at the angle between the six compass points, and moving forward at full speed!"

Because we are now in a deep water area near the open sea, the water depth has already exceeded the normal anchor limit of 80 meters.

The sails of the foremast and mainmast of "Conch" and "Thumb" are opened in opposite directions. The mainmast generates thrust in the opposite direction to the forward direction, braking the sailboat, and the ocean current drifts slowly with the direction of the wind.

We are currently less than 30 kilometers away from the two ships being chased. If the "Conch" is heading towards the other side at its current speed, and with the effect of the "Prow Statue·Monsoon Goddess", it will continue to make a zigzag move against the wind.

We can meet in about an hour.

Although the sailboat is completely powered by wind, it can also travel against the wind. The principle is:

The longitudinal sail and the horizontal sail are used in conjunction, and the hull is turned sideways to form a certain angle between the sail and the hull. One side of the sail is filled with wind, and the other side is under less pressure. The hull uses this pressure difference to move forward.

However, when moving forward in this way, there must be a deviation between the ship's forward direction and the destination direction. Therefore, after sailing for a period of time, the sailboat needs to change the course by adjusting the direction of the sail, so as to move forward in a "zigzag" shape.

Ascending to his command position, Ivan had already thought carefully about it.

If you wait until the success rate of everything on the sea is 98% before doing it, then you will definitely not be able to do anything. As long as the risk is still within the controllable range, Alvin is willing to give it a try!

First, although the great pirate Bassem himself is powerful, his extraordinary level is at most the same as that of White Shark Skook, so he is not unmatched by today's Alvin.

Second, battleships have an absolute advantage in artillery fire, with more on-board artillery and larger calibers. However, we have three ships (plus the "Iron Bone"), and they should not be easily crushed with the cooperation.

Third, the combination of foggy silver lantern + alchemical musket + seabird bomber gives you enough confidence.

Finally, I just explained the situation of the forces behind Bassem in the spiritual connection.

We can also know from the name of "The Wizard of Destiny" that this is actually a group of extraordinary people who follow the path of destiny. What Milan said is mysterious, but it is easy for Ivan to understand. To apply a sentence from his previous life, it is "Hindering"

The enmity of Tao is irreconcilable."

The "School of Prophecy" in Milan and the "Yellow Sand Society" to which Bassem belongs are undoubtedly mortal enemies!

If Bassem, who has reached the peak of the second level, successfully hunts William, no one can say whether he will immediately be promoted to the third level of "Wizard of Destiny". At this juncture, Milan hits him, and he must be stopped!

This is also the main reason why Milan, uncharacteristically, suddenly had the courage to show off his sword against a powerful enemy!

Come on!

If this battle is won, William will be able to save his life, Milan will be able to get a mysterious "gift" by correcting the chaos of fate, and he will be able to take the throne of the first "Naval Star" with an undisputed advantage!

There is a difference between looking at the sea and going out to the sea. The former is giving your eyes to the sea, while the latter is giving your life to the sea.

Why go to sea in the first place if you don't have any sense of adventure? This is true for pirates who risk their lives for money, so why not the navy?
