"Ah, before I know it, the time is coming again. Your Excellency, Baron, we will see you tomorrow!

Although I have not personally used the knowledge of the 'Hellinger School', even Simpson has lost most of his spellcasting abilities because he only has his soul left.

But I believe that someone as upright as you will be able to truly make good use of them.

It is a pleasure every time I communicate with you and I can’t wait for tomorrow.”

After learning that Alvin held the title of baron, the nobleman and artist has been calling Alvin using the term "baron" in formal social situations, and his attitude has improved by at least two or three levels compared to the beginning.

Ivan did not correct his idea that the current title was different from the past.

Hundreds of years ago, the gold content of noble titles was not the same as it is now. In those days, titles were linked to land, and no country would issue titles indiscriminately.

Nowadays, businessmen and even pirates in many countries can obtain honorary titles as long as they can offer a large sum of money to the royal family. If they are willing to spend money, they can even buy the title of earl.

"Sir! I will make good use of the witchcraft knowledge you gave me. Thank you for your generosity!

In return, I will prepare for you tomorrow the history of human navigation, which is no less magnificent than the Renaissance."

"Hahaha, I'm looking forward to it!"

With the last sentence left, the image belonging to Katalov gradually disappeared. Ivan carefully put away the parchment used for recording, and then re-blocked the oil painting.

Through these days of exchanges, Ivan's assessment of the potential value of this painting has continued to increase.

Apart from its value as an antique and "cursed object", the "personalities" of different eras in it alone are a huge wealth. Although most of them are weird, there are also beings like Katalov who can communicate normally.

.

As a true nobleman and artist, Alvin easily obtained a large amount of precious intelligence and knowledge by using his identity and some worthless information.

Moreover, from the perspective of the other party, who maintains his previous habits, this is just a part of normal communication and does not see any disadvantage.

"Mr. Katalov is such a good man!"

Therefore, Ivan decided to store this painting properly as a long-lasting treasure house, and he might be able to dig out unexpected surprises at some point.

As for the risks, of course there are.

But the fact is that as Katalov said, Simpson, who has only his soul left, has been weakened to the extreme. Apart from the power of the "cursed object" itself, he is now not much stronger than an intermediate apprentice.

An ordinary person might still be afraid of its own terrible curse, but with the combination of Aiwen, Milan and Kaka, there is no need for it to stand up.

Especially Kaka is its nemesis, it can come and go at will and steal homes at any time.

In addition, Katalov also told Ivan many secrets about the "Hellinger School" during the exchange, including the final creation that someone in their legend once realized.

: Create a false world that is almost indistinguishable from the real world, and can even use this to pull an entire city in the real world into the shadow world and become its own impregnable lair.

Since the mysterious source involves space, even if he didn't mention Irvine, he could guess that Simpson probably had a storage space similar to the Kaka Shadow Vault in his hands.

This can explain why apart from a pile of mortal objects, there are few witchcraft instruments and spellcasting materials on the ship.

"Find a way to find a way some other time to take out all the treasures he doesn't know where to hide.

Anyway, it is of no use to him who only has his soul left, so why not contribute to the ‘Activation Sect’.

Well, it’s too difficult to start directly with that crazy old man. We have to find a fool among these ‘personalities’ who can help find the treasure house.”

After muttering to himself, Alvin stood up and covered the painting with a piece of thick opaque cloth to prevent uninformed crew members from accidentally seeing it and causing an accident.

Then he walked out of his captain's cabin.

Deng Deng Deng

Climb the wooden ladder to the open deck.

The luxurious captain's cabin that was originally located in the tall poop has been removed by his own hands. All the functions of the new "Morning Star" are to serve the war. Compared with the past, the comfort level will inevitably be compromised.

The simple captain's cabin of this heavily armed cruiser is now under the rear deck, with 24-pound guns overhead. It can be imagined that during battle, the environment in this place is absolutely unbearable.

This is true for captains, not to mention others.

Even though it was once a third-tier ship, in terms of living environment, it is now inferior to even the "Storm Horn".

The cold wind was howling on the deck, and the crew members in cotton-padded coats were busy.

This is to meet the manning requirements of this ship. All the remaining crew members of the "Storm Cape" and "Endeavor" were put together, with a total of 477 people, which was just enough to achieve a three-shift system that would make the crew less tiring.

Hua Hua Hua

At this time, the "Morning Star" was sailing close to full sail. The bow of the ship was slightly raised to break through the waves. A hazy light of witchcraft shrouded the entire hull. There was a high-speed ocean current under the hull that provided it with a steady stream of power.

Compared with the third-tier battleships of the past, today's battlecruisers simply feel like they are flying.

Because Tracy, the original helmsman of the Stormhorn, was accidentally killed in action, the person in charge of steering the ship now is the helmsman of the Endeavor, Robert.

Seeing Alvin walking up from the hatch not far from the helm, he couldn't hide his excitement and saluted Alvin:

"It's unbelievable, Captain!

The results of the speed measuring rope just showed that our current speed has reached 12 knots, and this is still towing a boat.

This is really amazing, I have never driven a boat so fast!"

"Hahaha, no need to be surprised, ships will get faster and faster in the future."

Ivan is not surprised at all. This speed is of course related to the modified ship shape, but the "Prow Statue·Monsoon Goddess" and the "Ocean Treasure·Ocean Current Horn" also contribute a lot.

Even though there was a temporarily modified small merchant ship being towed behind it, it still ran at a speed that sailors could not even imagine.

and.

At the same time as the speed increased, the salvo launch mass of the "Venus" shipborne artillery was only reduced by 144 pounds compared with the original third-class ship. One can imagine how difficult it would be to drive such a ship in battle.

of hearty enjoyment.

Of course, today's heavily armed cruisers are not without any shortcomings. The biggest problem at present is that the hull is too short, which makes it very easy to suffer losses during boarding battles.

But wait until Alvin fully equips the crew, and then equips each of them with "activated animal skins".

At that time, the crew members who had at least the strength of the late trainee did not care about this small flaw at all, and could jump directly to the opponent's ship with just one step.

Even a first-class ship as tall as a castle will not be an exception!

Walking to the bow of the ship, I stood shoulder to shoulder with Milan, who had been standing here for who knows how long. The cold sea breeze blew the captain's long cloak on Ivan's body and made a sound.

Looking at the relatively gentle sea in the distance, he asked Milan:

"Has Major General Brand's order not been sent back yet?"

At this time, they were heading to the northern seas at full speed on the "Venus", which had just been refitted and had only undergone two short-distance trials.

Since receiving the order, they have been temporarily placed under the command of the major general.

After the Major General learned that they had modified the "Stardenburg" and was ready for combat, the first order he issued to them was to disguise themselves all the way to the outer waters of Cape Bighorn and wait for orders.

Now they were about to reach their destination and sent a message to Major General Brand.

"I've been staying on the deck, but the tern hasn't come back yet.

What do you think the final outcome of this war will be? Will it turn into a full-scale colonial war?

The silver mine is said to be three almost semi-open-air silver mountains, and the amount of silver stored there is truly astonishing.

It is an important weight that can directly affect the country’s national strength. After all, even the ‘quasi-legendary’ has already been dispatched!”

From the order before they set off, it was revealed that Major General Brand had personally driven the quasi-legendary battleship 'Brilliant' belonging to Falatis into the battle zone between Silius, Atlan and Sark.

.

The name was used in the name of Cyrus driving two quasi-legendary warships, the "Styx Jellyfish" and the "Guard Commander", through the territorial waters of Phaletis without permission.

Apparently, the Royal Navy detected the dispatch of two "quasi-legendary" ships of Cyrus.

The senior officials had already had a premonition that the critical moment was coming. When Tu Qiongdeng saw it, he could no longer care about Cyrus's possible suspicion. If he didn't stand up for his allies at this time, he might not be able to get a share of the pie in the end.

But after all, the "Brilliant" was not known for its speed, so it ended up being a step too late.

The "Guard Commander" used its equipment to open a waterway in the dense reef area outside Potosi regardless of cost, which was enough to allow large warships to navigate, and then sent a large number of combat personnel to break through the obstacles between the two countries and forcefully land on the island.

It has actually occupied the two largest silver mountains.

The "quasi-legends" of the two countries came one step late. In the confrontation with the "Styx Jellyfish" and the "Guard Commander", even if there were location factors, the two countries, Sac and Atlan, who were caught off guard, could only send out

The small boat finally occupied the last seat.

By the time the "Brilliant" arrived, the dust had actually already settled.

The 3:2 situation also added a layer of pressure to Cyrus. After all, despite his tough words, even Cyrus' commander did not have the authority to take the lead in starting a battle between "quasi-legendary battleships".

When the rat weapon is thrown, the battle situation returns to the conventional troops.

Just like in modern warfare, no matter how indiscriminate bombing, in the end, ground troops will be required to enter and implement actual control.

"Don't worry, since we were ordered to come here, obviously the situation has not escalated to the point of being out of control. Our mission is here, right?"

flutter

Before he finished speaking, a tern had already flapped its wings and landed.

The major general's order also came.
Chapter completed!
