After returning home, Alvin, who originally thought he had nothing to do and was ready to rest for a few days, was hurriedly called back to the ship by Geer the next day and met a mysterious guest.

"Alvin, this is Mr. Brown, Earl Tujak's butler."

"Mr. Brown, this is my nephew Alvin."

Although Alvin was a little confused, he still shook hands politely with this middle-aged man who had a similar temperament to Grandpa Leo.

"Mr. Irvine is really young and promising. If His Excellency the Earl knew that the new owner of his property is such an outstanding young man, he would be very happy!"

The middle-aged butler named Brown saw his captain's epaulettes and gave him a slight compliment, then got down to business and bowed slightly in the most standard and elegant manner: "Your Excellency, Colonel, Mr. Irvine has arrived, let's get started."

""

Half an hour later, the uncle and nephew sent away Brown, Earl Tujak's butler. Ivan was holding a parchment contract document and a stamped envelope in both hands, and his head was still a little dizzy.

The deed document is a certificate representing the change of owner of a fixed estate. The names of Count Tujak and Alvin have been signed in the positions of the donor and the recipient respectively.

This means that the ownership of a large-scale plantation and its attendants belongs to Alvin from now on.

This "vanilla plantation" in the southern continent produces high-quality coffee beans and spices, and is equipped with sound management personnel and a sufficient number of slaves. Ivan does not have to take care of anything, excluding various expenses, and can sit at home every year

A net profit of approximately one thousand gold lions was obtained.

What is the concept of a thousand golden lions? It is equivalent to the head belonging to "One-Eyed Becky" that a group of people worked hard to get, equivalent to ten six-year-old military horses in the best condition, equivalent to the most elite musketeers of the Kingdom's Guards

Ten years of salary!

From now on, Ivan has become the house owner that he struggled to pursue in his previous life. No, he belongs to the village-owning family! The documents show that the area of ​​this plantation is no less than the area of ​​any village in Ivan's previous life plus its attached fields.

.

Even if Alvin retires from the Navy directly now, he can live the rest of his life comfortably.

besides.

The other thing in Alvin's hand, that thin envelope, may be more valuable than this plantation in the eyes of some people.

Because that is a letter of admission to the Royal Naval Academy of the Kingdom of Phaletis without examination!

Although it is only a six-month short training course, whether you have a Royal Naval Academy study experience or not has a huge impact on a naval officer's future.

By analogy, it is the same as whether Ivan attended the Whampoa Military Academy during the turbulent era in his previous life. How big is the difference in promotion difficulty and prospects between Whampoa alumni and ordinary top soldiers? It is obvious.

Although with the exploration of sea routes, geographical discoveries, and colonial expansion, the navy has given the impression that it is short of manpower all year round and is recruiting people all the time. But because the overall base is there, the outstanding naval talents that emerge every year in the entire kingdom are naturally not

small amount.

As the top military academy in the Kingdom, the Royal Naval Academy attracts these naval elites both in terms of its teaching staff and the political significance behind it. They fight hard to compete for the short-term training quota of less than 100 per year.

This is not only a mere admission qualification, but also an opportunity for naval officers with non-professional backgrounds to rise to the top in one step.

Even if you didn't learn anything in the academy because of your basic skills, just getting to know the best young people in the navy and getting to know the faculty members in the academy who are very knowledgeable is worth the price of admission.

What's more, in this extraordinary world, as a member of the pan-continental organization "Red Maple Leaf Academy Alliance", purely in terms of teaching quality and the various mysteries hidden behind the academy, it can also be called the world's first-class academy.

This place is not only the cradle of naval officers, but also the best window for every extraordinary person who is determined to go further on the extraordinary road to contact the hidden side of the world.

Therefore, the admission threshold has been raised infinitely.

Even with the potential and achievements that Ivan has shown now, without two or three years of time to accumulate and Geer's operation, this kind of good thing will never be his turn.

Alvin has long known that the first ocean secret treasure "Shipwreck Elegy" he obtained before is worth a lot of money, but he feels that he just missed this "ocean secret treasure" and the contribution he made is not worth what he got.

these returns.

"Uncle Geer, these things." As soon as he said this, Geer put his arm around his shoulders and sat on the sofa in the temporary reception room. Geer explained jokingly:

"Relax, Alvin! You don't think that a marine treasure is only worth this little thing, do you? This is just part of the deal. Your uncle and I are not a pedantic guy. A marine treasure of the level of 'Shipwreck Hymn'

It won't be sold cheaply.

The subsequent 'finial payment' will be received gradually over time, and the harvest from wiping out the Shark Tooth Pirate Group this time will only be greater."

Without giving Alvin another chance to refuse, Geer continued:

"What you have to do now is to make good use of these resources and grow up as soon as possible. In this era, no matter what you want to do, you can't do it without power.

However, if you have the resources but fail to meet my requirements, I will not agree!

Moreover, it is rumored that there is a little-known secret hidden in the Naval Academy. If you have the opportunity, you must seize it. It will be of great significance to the growth of your other career."

"Uncle Geer, I won't let you down!" Since Geer said this, Ivan would naturally not let down his good intentions and solemnly promised him.

Moreover, I was vaguely curious about the secrets spoken by Geer, and I was also looking forward to the upcoming study career.

Isn’t it just as simple as a gilded journey?

In the dark attic, a gas lamp was lit, and Alvin was writing something at his desk with a quill in hand.

swish swish

The young man looked focused, a piece of parchment was filled with various words, graphics, and lines, and the work he was writing was gradually coming to an end.

"Finally completed! "Garriott Bird Transformation Technique 1.0""

Alvin, who has long planned to establish his own witchcraft research project, this time, with the basic knowledge gained from Tru's consciousness, he finally has enough accumulation to start. He is ready to complete his idea before officially setting off.

.

After a week of continuous revision and improvement, the final result is this written result. Well, at least in theory it should be feasible.

He has always wanted to transform special individuals who can use "witchcraft to lose heart" similar to those in the hands of the crow hag, and this version of "Garriott Bird Transformation 1.0" is the beginning of this idea.

Because although the wizard apprentice Toru has a wide range of knowledge and knowledge about witchcraft, not only is the basic knowledge very fragmentary, he also doesn't know much about the actual practical witchcraft, and most of it is useless.

I don’t know if he only has this knowledge, or if the imprint of knowledge accidentally obtained through a rough collision of mental powers is incomplete?

But then again, if Toru was really that powerful wizard apprentice with both knowledge and power, Ivan wouldn't be able to win easily, let alone get part of his knowledge by accident.
Chapter completed!
