The so-called "secret treasure of the ocean" is not a human creation!

Rather, specific items are affected by the mysterious factors of this world and are a type of magical treasure that is naturally produced under special conditions.

The reasons for their occurrence are all kinds of strange, and may be based on special geographical environment, large-scale historical events with far-reaching influence, or even the death of a large number of life, etc.

The shape of the body is also varied, it may be a sculpture like "Shipwreck Elegy", or it may be a shell, a stone, a pocket watch, or anything else that may exist in the real world.

But the only thing they have in common is that they are extremely difficult to destroy.

Each "ocean secret treasure" has its own magical ability, which is powerful and mysterious.

Since the name has the prefix "ocean", most of these abilities are naturally related to the ocean. Especially in the ocean, these secret treasures will bring unparalleled assistance to the ships holding them, and they are the objects that everyone on the ocean is desperately chasing.

.

"Ocean secret treasure" can almost be equated with power and wealth!

Of course, not all ocean secret treasures are like "Shipwreck Elegy". There is an evil spirit with ulterior motives living in them. Information about secret treasures and unique extraordinary paths are deliberately revealed to lure others to use its evil power to achieve the impossible.

The purpose of suing someone.

Most of the secret treasures in the ocean are hidden treasures. Unless a professional holds it in his hand, it is impossible to tell that it is a secret treasure in the ocean.

I have to say that this time, the uncle and nephew captured the head of One-Eyed Becky and brought back a secret ocean treasure for free. It was really great luck!

Although because of its hostility to the order side, as long as two people do not want to defect from the kingdom to become pirates, they as navy cannot use it, which is a bit regretful. However, there is no problem at all in exchanging benefits with nobles with special needs.

"As long as we deal with the evil spirits hidden here, we should be able to get a good price." Geer finally concluded.

As for exchanging a secret treasure that they can use with others, neither of them has any hope. The opportunity is too slim to come by, so it is better to turn it into tangible wealth and resources that can be used now.

"By the way, Uncle Geer, what do you plan to do with the extraordinary path above?" At the end of the hearing, Ivan asked strangely without seeing Geer mention the extraordinary path of "Shipwreck Mourner" again.

Mentioning the extraordinary power related to his own future, Geer suddenly became more serious and asked Alvin: "Evan, there are many extraordinary paths in this world. Why do you think the path of knights dominates the human world?"

Although he has a vision beyond the times, Alvin has never considered this issue. After thinking about it and combining it with Grandpa Leo's teachings when he was a child, he tentatively said: "Is it because of stability?"

"That's right! But it's not comprehensive. Stability is only one aspect of it."

“In fact, both internal and external factors determine the extraordinary status quo of the civilized world.

The internal factor is that although the knight's path is extraordinary, the extraordinary power involved only targets the human body and is relatively basic and pure, so the risk of losing control is the smallest and most stable. Even if it eventually loses control, it will not be too destructive."

Gal paused to give Alvin time to digest, then continued to explain:

“External factors are due to the contribution of the ‘True God Church’, the highest level of extraordinary power in each country on our continent.

Although the knights are powerful, our path has been firmly fixed, just like swords in human hands. Even the extraordinary fourth-level titled knights are only magic weapons, and there is no way they can threaten their status."

In his words, Geer, as an old-school kingdom officer, revealed his slight dissatisfaction with the Holy See. If this had to be a major issue in public, Ivan pretended not to hear it at all.

"As for those extraordinary paths that can easily get out of control and cause mass casualties, or extraordinary paths that are extremely creative and promising, including the "Black Iron Cross Church" that rules our Tulip Alliance, the "Morning Church" of the Sac Empire, the sea

Including the "Eternal Fire" of the overlord Cyrus Kingdom, the attitude of the seven true God churches is to suppress and eliminate them!"

"Most unpopular extraordinary paths like the 'Shipwreck Mourner' have flaws, and because of the reasons I mentioned before, the further away from the civilized world, the more such unique extraordinary people become. The path is incomplete, or

It has all kinds of fatal flaws, and the possibility of losing control is terrifyingly high.”

This knowledge cannot be recorded in any book and is entirely a summary of Geer's own experience.

As an extraordinary captain who has been at sea for many years, Geer used his profound knowledge accumulation and unique perspective to make Alvin suddenly enlightened.

I can't help but feel lucky to have such a guide.

"Save it for the trick, kid!" Finally, Geer patted Alvin on the shoulder and thrust the repackaged sculpture into his hand.

"Take it back to your room and keep an eye on it the whole way back to your home. It will depend on whether we and I are going to eat well or not in the next few years."

The two then returned to the main deck and mobilized some crew members to try their best to repair the severely damaged pirate ship, barely allowing it to start moving again.

The Silver Wing was pulled in front by a cable and slowly returned to the original battlefield on Rock Island.

"The Silver Wing is back!"

"We are saved!"

By this time, the burnt wreckage of the Warrior had already sunk to the bottom of the sea, and a few dejected former Warrior crew members were sparsely sitting on the few lifeboats floating on the sea. They only regained their vitality when they saw the Silver Wing's return.

After picking them up on the ship, everyone learned that after they abandoned the ship, the officers on the original Warrior had been focused on killing them, including the captain. They had been eating and drinking on the Silver Wing.

The captain of the ship drank so much that he was considered the highest-ranking officer among the survivors.

Geer actually comforted them with some kind words. After all, their early battle with the pirates had caused huge losses to them, which was considered an assist for the Silver Wing.

But you definitely don’t have to worry about the loot.

Time flies and comes to the third day after returning to Gablade.

After the brief hustle and bustle of returning from the mission, everything seemed to be back on track again.

In the past few days, Geer, carrying the aura of honor of killing the crazy pirate "One-Eyed Becky", has been traveling frequently with the nobles and businessmen of Garbraid. It seems that it is normal communication and he wants to expand his contacts. But in fact, only Ivan himself knows that this is

It was Uncle Ger who was looking for a home for their "trophy".

Aiwen can't get involved for the time being, but he still has important tasks of his own.

Third Fleet station.

In the corridor of the station, large oil paintings are hung on the mainly blue-toned walls. There are landscapes, characters, and war scenes. Each painting represents an important moment of the Third Fleet. For the Third Fleet, this is the place.

A veritable wall of merit.

Walking here is like walking in the corridor of history, and a heavy sense of honor of being a part of it arises spontaneously. Even a guy like Ivan, who has some lack of identification with the other world, can't help but feel relaxed.

pace.

In front of a room with a brass sign, Ivan stopped, rearranged his navy uniform, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The intensity is neither light nor heavy, and the three sounds are just right. This comes from the experience in the workplace in my previous life.

"Come in!" A calm older man's voice sounded.

Pushing open the door and entering, the simply decorated room has curtains drawn to block the sunlight, but a gas lamp is lit, creating a quiet and solemn atmosphere.

Three old men in school officer uniforms sat behind a long table covered with a green velvet tablecloth, with an open notepad in front of each of them.

Ivan walked to the empty chair in front of the long table, stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, three officers! Warrant Officer Ivan Garriott of the Silver Wing is here to take the exam!"

"Don't be nervous young man! Please sit down." The officer with all white hair and a monocle in the middle was very kind. He smiled and asked him to sit down, indicating that the assessment would begin now.

"Before the official start, I hope you can take this assessment seriously.

Although your performance has fully met the standards, it is very difficult for a young man who has only been in the army for a few months. But every officer is responsible for the honor and lives of all his subordinates in critical moments. If the assessment cannot satisfy us, we will

I cannot leave this responsibility to you!"

An officer with short gray hair sitting on the right side of the long table said with a serious face.

"I completely understand! Please start!" Ivan said that he understood and was not intimidated by him. He guessed that this was probably part of the assessment to prevent anyone from thinking that it was just a formality and perfunctory, which would ultimately make it difficult for everyone to end.

"Please list the names of the three types of rigging in battleships and their functions."

"Controlling the sail yard requires halyards, slings, and swivel ropes."

"In a main battle line battle, if your warship is attacked by the enemy, will you give the order to dodge?"

""

"The wind speed is 10 to 14 knots and the wave height is at least one meter. Can the warship sail at full sail at this time?"

"No, before this time, the top sail of the main mast can only be raised to 'half sail', which is used to raise the ship's bow, reduce the effect of burying the ship, and prevent the ship from capsizing!" From the beginning to the end, no matter how the three examiners asked questions,

Alvin answered questions fluently and calmly.

After learning about the test format from Geer, he began to prepare. For many reserve officers, the extremely difficult test was a piece of cake for Ivan, who had been through a sea of ​​questions in his previous life.

After all, for any candidate officer who can reach this point, he has already been on the battleship for a long enough time and has no problem with his practical ability. This is why he adopts this method of using experienced veteran officers to set questions and candidates.

The officer will be assessed in the form of answers.

The assessment lasted for twenty minutes, and each examiner asked a few questions, which were broad but not difficult.

After Ivan finished answering the last question, several examiners looked at each other and gave a unified opinion. A seal of approval was stamped on Ivan's file.

"Congratulations, Ivan of the Silver Wing, you will be a navy captain from today on!" The kind old man in the middle announced the news on behalf of the three examiners.

"Thank you to the three examiners! This is my honor!"

A smile appeared on Aiwen's face, he stood up, shook hands and hugged each examiner, saluted again, then slowly retreated to the door before turning around and leaving.

"I like this young man and hope to see more and more such energetic and well-educated young people in the navy in the future."

"Haha, someone who has worked as a civil servant all his life and is about to retire still has so many worries."

"Leave me alone?"

After passing the first turning point in his military career and truly completing the leap from a candidate officer to a full-time officer, Ivan felt his heart broadened, and even the vague chattering of the old officers in his ears became endearing.
Chapter completed!
