Chapter 80 Bess and the journey that finally begins
The completely transparent blisters were punctured from the inside. The owl finally woke up after sleeping for a long time. It struggled to break away from the membrane that wrapped itself and slid to the ground. It shook off the mucus and water stains on its body, spread its wings and stretched its body that had grown one size larger.
Gu Gu Gu Gu
He turned his head and screamed twice, still looking cute, as if he had just slept and was not aware of the changes that had happened to him.
It flapped its wings and flew up, landing on Alvin's raised arm like a piece of light feather. Except for the fact that it was slightly larger than the standard, there was nothing unusual about its appearance.
Although the current owl still has the same appearance as its kind, its wingspan alone exceeds two meters, which is not much worse than a real eagle. If it weren't for Ivan's extraordinary physique, just one arm would really
You may not be able to lift it.
"It's so heavy!"
Although he said he was disgusted, Alvin's face was full of joy. No need to check, he knew that it had undergone earth-shaking changes inside, and the second stage of the ritual had been successful.
Close your eyes.
The seabirds that have spread over half of the saltwater swamp emit invisible waves, which are automatically processed by the owl, the "base station" with the first directivity, and then transmitted to Ivan's mind.
In an instant, Alvin's vision was heightened.
The eyes of every seabird are cameras with extremely high pixels. Hundreds of high and low angles are pieced together into a huge complete picture. It can even be controlled to zoom in and out like the satellite map of the previous life. In a small half of a saltwater swamp,
Everything is in sight.
Under the setting sun, there are incomplete leaves gnawed by insects, a gray rabbit hidden behind mottled bushes, small black fish under the rocks in the stream, and several saltwater crocodiles lying on the sand enjoying the last afterglow of the day. Everything is delicate.
Complete now.
Ivan held his right hand tightly, and a sense of control emerged from God's perspective.
The wizarding version of the holographic dynamic map is completed!
And thanks to the owl's instinctive self-correction after receiving the information, the picture is even better than imagined.
At this moment, Ivan felt that all the energy and money spent during this period were worth it. Only he, a time traveler from the information age, can personally understand the importance of intelligence and information no matter what the background!
Feeling happy, Alvin liked the snow-white owl standing on his arm no matter how much he looked at it. Even though its head was rotated 180 degrees and it was staring at him stupidly, Alvin automatically defined its expression as "cute".
No longer a dispensable one percent, the owl should of course have a name of its own.
Ahem, this is the reality of Alvin
"Um, 'base station', 'base station' will just call you Bess."
After the transformation of the "Cuckoo" ritual was completed, the owl, whose brain development and intelligence level had increased dramatically, could barely understand the meaning of Alvin's teleportation, and it was obvious that he liked it very much.
And Ivan believes that with continuous communication and interaction in the future, the IQ of the owl, oh, the bass will increase rapidly. With the current "hardware" basis, it should not be a problem to reach the level of normal humans.
It had been several days since he left Gablade. After his goal was perfectly achieved, Alvin was not ready to spend the night here again. After packing up his things, he returned to Gabrade in the last rays of the sunset.
But it was different from when he came. There was not a single seabird behind him.
The "scouts" spread out far away, and all turned into nodes on the reconnaissance network, becoming part of Aiwen's real-time intelligence system
Hua Hua Hua
The sky was slightly gloomy, as if rain would fall at any time, the wet sea breeze blew on the face, and the white waves streaked across the sides of the warship, and then swirled and disappeared at the stern.
Alvin, who was wearing a major's military uniform and had a straight posture, stood alone on the bow of the naval supply ship at his feet, looking back at Gabraid.
There is no doubt that today is the day when he sets off to report to the Royal Naval Academy.
Destination: Port Newin, the largest port city in the Kingdom of Phaletis.
After returning from the saltwater swamp, I took a few days to take care of all my affairs in Garbrade, including the handover of work on the "Silver Wing". I asked Uncle Ger to take care of Gary, who had outstanding performance and was promoted to warrant officer.
, pay the rent for the next six months in one lump sum, etc.
Even before leaving, Ivan made a special trip to visit Major Eugene, his instructor when he first joined the army, and gave him a box of twenty bottles of whale medicine specially prepared by himself.
This potion has no effect on peak knights like Gale, but it can be called a miracle medicine on low-level knights like Eugene who are in the violent physical stage.
After becoming an official knight, Ivan already knew that the fleet also had a similar supply of medicines to the extraordinary knights under his command. But with the status of Major Eugene, the fleet quota obviously cannot meet daily needs.
So when Ivan came to the door with these potions, it hit Eugene's heart. After trying the effect for a while, he was very satisfied with Ivan's gift. He said that it was even better than the potions distributed by the fleet!
Ivan was also very happy to receive the gratitude of instructor Eugene. When he first joined the army, he received a lot of help from instructor Eugene, and he was the major contributor to his reunion with Uncle Geer.
Now that he has the ability to give certain rewards, Aiwen, who was deeply influenced by the concept of "repaying kindness with kindness" in his previous life, felt a lot relieved.
Then Alvin, who had nothing to do, packed up his luggage and boarded the supply ship bound for Newport.
Because they received the notice that Irvine was admitted to the Royal Naval Academy, the Third Fleet had already gone through the relevant formalities for him and given him a period of vacation. However, the comrades on the Silver Wing did not receive this kind of treatment. They were repairing the warship.
After handling the loot by the way, I have already plunged into busy tasks.
So today Ivan set off, and there wasn’t even a single person to see him off. Coupled with the gloomy weather, this parting scene didn’t look so bright!
But Alvin's mentality is very good, or in other words, he has been in a good mood since returning from the saltwater swamp.
While the research on witchcraft has made significant progress, the share of the loot obtained from this unexpected encounter with the "Shark Tooth" pirates has also been received.
The cost of an ordinary fifth-level battleship is about 8,000 gold lions, while two specially modified pirate ships will be even more expensive, especially the flagship "Shark Tooth", which costs at least 10,000 gold lions.
Because of Ivan's outstanding contribution, after handling these trophies, Ivan received an unnamed golden ticket for four thousand golden lions. This is also his largest income since he went to sea, which is enough to surpass the one in his name.
Vanilla Plantation's four-year earnings.
However, the most valuable thing that Alvin got was not the money aspect.
Having made a great contribution to saving the Lieutenant General, Ivan's own strength has also reached the standard. Wearing this school officer uniform is natural and logical. And with the approval of Lieutenant General Snart, the "friendship" between Ivan and Milan has become more stable.
After returning to Garbrade, Ivan had several more meetings with Milan, either actively or passively.
The friendship of fighting side by side and fighting bloody battles is still there, and now the two of them get along with each other much better than at the beginning when they were curious and wary of constantly testing each other.
In view of their mutual recognition and the foreseeable long-term cooperation in the future, the two people also had a long and candid conversation in private, and each disclosed some of their secrets to the other.
Milan confessed his identity as a "divineer" of the prophecy school, and Ivan also generously admitted that he had indeed obtained the wizard's inheritance through the "Potion Science" notebook, and expressed his gratitude to Milan.
In fact, even if Ivan didn't admit it, he had already exposed his ability to control seabirds during the battle that day, and Milan had already noticed it, so he might as well be more honest and frank.
The common identity of wizards made two young people who are hard to find similar people instantly feel sympathetic to each other, and their relationship became more harmonious.
Moreover, Ivan also learned from Milan the true views of the upper class towards wizards.
It was completely different from what he had heard and imagined in the past. Depravity, loss of control, and risks were all excuses. It was driven by interests and maintaining rule was the fundamental thing!
Many big nobles are involved in funding wizard organizations and secret societies, and even train wizards themselves.
Creativity, productivity and even the most coveted "lifespan" of the powerful class may be obtained through the hands of wizards. This is something that the dominant church can never give them!
Otherwise, how did alchemists, who were obviously wizards, develop? With the development of the steam industry, branches of the alchemists' guild "Alchemy Light" existed openly in the capitals of many civilized countries.
Ivan also learned from him that the Royal Naval Academy, which is a member of the pan-continental organization "Red Maple Leaf Academy Alliance", itself has a variety of extraordinary path inheritances in addition to the knight's path.
Especially the alchemy school in the wizard path!
Although the Church of the Righteous God stands at the top of the extraordinary world, it does not mean that their rule is all-pervasive. Even under the suppression of the brilliance of the Righteous God, there are far more ambitions and ideas than the rulers of a country, and the "Red Maple Leaf Academy Alliance"
"It is the product of this kind of mutual game and trial.
At least according to Milan, in the Royal Naval Academy, the highest military academy in Phaletis, there is a "shadow library" hidden under the apparent military academy, which contains various mysterious knowledge and supernatural beings.
Knowledge.
However, everyone wants extraordinary knowledge. If Ivan wants to be qualified to enter, he still needs to work hard on his own.
Alvin is looking forward to this library very much, and understands the opportunity that Uncle Geer vaguely mentioned. Whether in the world of science or the world of witchcraft, if you want to discover the truth, in addition to talent and inspiration, you need a solid foundation.
Knowledge is the cornerstone of all achievements.
If Ivan wants to go further on the path of being a wizard, this shortcoming is a hurdle that he can never get around.
Maybe the six months of study at the Royal Naval College can reveal a little bit of the mystery of this world to you?
