Chapter 351 Adventurer?
When Alvin and a relaxed Boris walked out of the house again.
The identities of both parties have changed again. Now Ivan is not only Boris' direct captain, but also Calvin's teacher.
Starting today, Ivan's "activation school" can finally hold its head high and can describe itself as "two or three big cats and kittens."
Well, although it doesn’t sound too exciting, it’s just that.
However, Ivan has finally completed the first step in the great cause of rebuilding the school. More members mean more opportunities and stronger strength, which can also make the path of "activating the school" more stable.
.
Even contribute to the seemingly out-of-reach "concrete truth"!
Although after further detailed testing, Calvin was not as gifted as Angel.
But he is also a middle-aged person, at least not much worse than the chief, Ivan.
If he is willing to use the "Essence Fruit" to cultivate him, there is no problem in reaching the limit of the apprentice level in a few years. But whether he can complete the soul sublimation of a formal wizard depends on himself.
Before that, if there was no "activated aura", Colvin would immediately be knocked back to his original shape.
Therefore, he needs to wear a seed provided by Alvin at all times, which stores the activated spiritual light injected in advance, which is equivalent to a long-acting "sustained-release pill".
And they should all be grateful.
This strange disease only damages the motor neurons and does not affect the patient's intelligence, memory and feelings. Although his journey to knighthood was suspended for two years, at least it did not cut off his journey to wizardry!
Before leaving.
Ivan and the boy agreed that after his body recovers initially, he would come to him again to lead him to officially enter the wizard's door.
As for now, Ivan still has a lot of things to do and doesn't have much time to wander outside. After finishing the business, he will return to the original route immediately without any delay.
Tread..tread..tread..
The two of them walked along the neatly repaired roads in Yuanfan City towards the port area.
Only at this time did Alvin have time to admire this prosperous city, which ranks among the best among all the Phaletian colonies.
In the kingdom's colonial economy, Sailland and Fordmont are mainly based on shipping and shipbuilding. The industrial system is relatively developed, and even factories using steam engines are not uncommon.
This is one of the colonies in the entire New World, the closest place to the mainland of the source continent, and even has a much higher level of industrialization than many conservative countries in the Old World.
In fact, this is also easy to understand.
Because not only Silius, but also the Phaletis royal family wanted to suck the blood of the colonies to support themselves.
Even if the oppression is not as harsh as that of Silius who adopted totalitarian politics, the intensity of supporting the development of the colony itself cannot be too great.
But the Elmore family is different. After completing the early expansion of the territory, they have already moved the entire family's roots here.
They are also one of the few pioneering nobles in Phaletis after the reform of the kingdom.
Although he is a member of the aristocratic group, he was also promoted to the nobility due to the development of a huge territory.
In this territory, Elmore enjoys the same rights as the royal family, which is not much different from the independent kingdom in the feudal era. Of course, it must be managed carefully.
Even all standards are compared to the cutting-edge achievements of the Kingdom of Phaletis, and we want to build this place into the most dazzling pearl in the entire New World!
"Staying in this city feels almost like staying at home. The ruler of Yuanfan Leader has a very long-term vision!"
Along the way, Aiwen discovered that the level of development here is no less than that of some big cities in the country.
Although there are many residents of different skin colors, such as Niemanster, Creole, Mastizo, Atrian... you name it, the results are already dazzling enough.
Especially judging from the context of world development, industrialization is the mainstream of the times, and Yuanfan Ling is already on the right path.
"The Marquis and Marquis of Yuanfan are both extremely outstanding people. They have created a good business environment internally, actively developed core industries, and currently own the largest private fleet of the Kingdom in the New World.
By uniting the major colonies with the outside world, you can also flex your muscles and carry out bloody revenge on pirates and natives who dare to offend.
However, the Vice King District of New Silius, which is adjacent to Silius, is not only across the sea, but also has a land buffer zone of only a few hundred kilometers.
Even a powerful third-level knight is still walking on thin ice."
Boris, who has made his home here, certainly knows a lot about this place. After agreeing with Ivan's words, he also pointed out the hidden worries here.
As the bridgehead for Phaletis to break into the Golden Sea, while receiving support from the kingdom, it must also face various external risks and challenges.
Ivan nodded and agreed with Boris's point of view. The big guys looked prosperous, but of course they also had their own difficulties.
But at this point, he asked Boris somewhat jokingly:
"By the way, Lieutenant Colonel Boris, are you still planning to retire and retire in this city?"
"No more retreat, no more retreat! Those who are born as Stormhorns will die as the ghosts of Stormhorns!
When I get back, I will write a letter to His Excellency the Commander and apply for formal admission. Your Excellency, Captain, you won't drive me away, will you?"
"Hahaha, look at your performance."
He was joking, but Alvin knew that for no other reason than Calvin, Boris would definitely work hard to shine for the "Storm Horn".
Even if he was allowed to work for nothing, his work efficiency and attitude would probably be unmatched by others. Besides, Aiwen is not a shady boss, and his treatment will never be worse than elsewhere.
Finally, I have gained another core crew member that I can rely on as my mainstay, and Ivan is very happy.
Navigator Milan, Boatswain Gary, First Mate and Gunnery Chief Boris, plus myself as the captain who is a peak knight and a formal wizard, this is a luxurious lineup that many first-class ships cannot come up with!
The two chatted all the way to the port area where people came and went.
"What's this?"
Alvin suddenly saw an eye-catching red notice on the notice wall next to him. When he docked, there was still nothing there.
I walked forward curiously and saw that the content of the notice was very simple, with only one line of text.
Read it gently:
"If you find any trace of Olivia, report it to the city hall immediately. Can you get a golden lion as a reward?"
The lackluster notice makes people confused. Who is Olivia? Why are we looking for traces of her? A wanted criminal? There is not even a portrait, and even if you see it, you can't recognize it!
Without waiting for him to ask questions, Boris, who also saw this notice, had already suppressed a smile and explained to Alvin a scene unique to the Far Sail Leader.
"Hahaha... This is a fixed program for our Yuanfan leaders. We have been attending it once or twice every three or five since last year."
Without stopping, Boris explained the inside story to Alvin as he walked.
This Olivia is not a criminal, but the jewel in the eye of the Marquis and Marquis Yuanfan, the only daughter, and the only legal heir to this prosperous and wealthy territory.
If we go back a few hundred years ago, when the enfeoffment system was still very popular, with this territory, it would not be too much to call her a princess.
However, this eldest lady is a little different from other Shuyuan from famous families.
It can even be called "deviant" in the eyes of many old antiques.
Although she is extremely smart, she is outstanding in all the abilities that a noble heir needs to possess in literature, art, mathematics, etiquette, territory management, etc. Her level of excellence surpasses 99% of the noble ladies, and she is also the pride of the Marquis family.
But her interests and hobbies go far beyond that.
She is actually better at marksmanship, swordsmanship, sailing, loves adventure, hunting and... fighting!
He often sneaks out to explore alone. During this period, he also discovered a huge phosphate mine for his family in the central and western part of the Elmore Peninsula.
Although there is no chemical fertilizer at this time, it is also an important raw material for the "alchemy bomb" and has indescribable strategic and economic value!
Since then it has been out of control.
Mineral deposits, rare medicines, economic plants, indigenous relics... Gradually, the Elmore Peninsula could no longer satisfy her interests, and her explorations continued further and further.
It’s normal to go out for ten days and a half or even a month or two at a time.
Even three years ago, a group of powerful children in this colony were organized to form an armed fleet known as the "Dragoons".
She sneaked out and eliminated a pirate group with an official knight level, the "Fiddler Crab Pirates", just because this group of pirates robbed the birthday gift she bought for the Marquis from the kingdom through a business group...
She was only fourteen years old at that time.
There are countless other similar "great achievements".
This really gave the Marquis and his wife a bit of a headache, but because the territory was busy with affairs and they didn't have time to keep her by their side, they had no choice but to let her go.
"She is a unique girl.
But in a place like the New World, only leaders with this kind of personality can ensure the safety of the people under their command, right?
I think as the heir of a big family, there is nothing wrong with this."
From Alvin's point of view, I don't think there is anything extraordinary about an heir with such a personality. Even if he is extraordinary, can his own sister run away and become a pirate?
“Of course it’s not bad for the people here.
But it is very bad for those powerful people who want to have both talent and talents! Hahaha..."
Boris laughed a little gloatingly when he said this, and continued to tell Alvin the deeper story behind this notice.
Eighty-five years ago, the pioneering hero Old Count Amore, as a great knight, led the family's private soldiers and drove away a powerful remnant party that had entrenched here due to the collapse of the Azik Empire.
Then he occupied this geomantic treasure land with warm climate, fertile land and abundant water. It is also called Tallahassee in Azik's indigenous language, which means "the place where flowers bloom"!
I don’t know what Old Elmore was thinking at the time, when he directly moved his entire family from the comfortable homeland of the kingdom to this barren land with nothing.
Although his title was promoted to marquis, he was far away from the core of power in the kingdom.
What seemed like a foolish choice at the time gradually paid off over the next few decades.
Especially with the vigorous development of the territory in recent years, the title of Marquis Yuanfan has become more and more shining. Compared with the domestic nobles who have mostly exchanged land for economic interests, it is even more different.
No matter how high the gold content is.
Normally, no one would dare to spy on this territory that belongs to a long-established noble family and is even dominated by great knights.
But many people have simple thoughts: "My daughter will get married after all!"
The higher the extraordinary level, the later the family will have children.
The main reasons are, first, because the stronger the strength, the more difficult it is to raise offspring, and second, because the higher the extraordinary level, the better the family bloodline can be optimized, so that the offspring will have an excellent starting point when they are born.
Therefore, this family has never been prosperous, and the current Duke Amore, Marquis of Amore, is only a grandson of the original old Amore.
Not to mention Olivia Elmore, who is also the only child of this generation of the family.
If anyone can marry her, even if it is a marriage, it will be equivalent to sharing this rich independent kingdom equally!
So ever since Olivia turned 16 a year ago, she has been visited by wealthy children who feel good about themselves.
This scope is not limited to Phaletis, even young people of school age in other Tulip colonies are eager to try, wanting to gain both people and wealth without working.
"So, I think this notice was never meant to find the eldest lady of the Qiao family, but to tell those crazy bees and butterflies that the rightful owner is not at home.
Besides, how can Marquis Yuanfan, a great knight, live to be 150 years old? How can these guys who are spying on someone else’s beautiful daughter and this huge inheritance not look in the mirror first, live longer than someone else’s father?”
When they were talking about this, the two people had already boarded the merchant ship in Dong Lun Branch again.
Looking at Yuan Sail Harbor getting smaller and smaller.
Boris continued:
"And I think compared to the excellent leader Duke Marquis who concentrates on running the territory.
This eldest lady seems to have inherited the legacy of old Elmore, and is more like an adventurer at heart than a lord!
No matter how large the territory is, she can't stop her heart from exploring the unknown world."
Ivan just smiled and listened to what Boris said before. Sometimes it was quite interesting to listen to the gossip of these big noble families.
But when he heard the term "adventurer at heart" from his mouth, Alvin seemed to be struck by lightning.
Standing on the spot for a moment!
Chapter completed!
