Extraordinary Sailing

Chapter 38 Captain

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

It is a type of magical treasure that is naturally produced by specific items under the influence of mysterious factors in this world and conceived under special conditions.

The reasons for their occurrence are various, and may be based on special geographical environments, large-scale historical events with far-reaching influence, or even the mass extinction of life and so on.

The shape of the body is also varied. It may be a sculpture like "Song of the Shipwreck", or it may be a shell, a stone, a pocket watch, etc., which may exist in the real world.

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

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

And since the name has the prefix "Ocean", most of these abilities are naturally related to the ocean, especially in the sea, these secret treasures will bring unparalleled assistance to the ships that hold them, and they are the objects that everyone on the sea is desperately chasing .

"Secret Treasure of the Ocean" can almost be equated with power and wealth!

Of course, not all ocean treasures are like "Song of Shipwreck", in which there is an evil spirit with ulterior motives. It deliberately reveals the information of the secret treasure and has a unique extraordinary path, luring others to use its evil power to achieve ulterior purposes.

Most of the ocean secret treasures belong to the type of self-obscuring treasures, and it is impossible for non-professionals to tell that this is the ocean secret treasure.

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 nothing.

Although because it is hostile to the order side, as long as two people don't want to defect to the kingdom and become pirates, they cannot use it as a navy, which is a pity. But it is not a problem at all to exchange benefits with nobles with special needs.

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

As for exchanging a secret treasure that they can use with others, neither of them has any hope. Opportunities are too slim to meet and cannot be sought. It is better to turn them into visible and 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?" After hearing the end, Ivan asked strangely that Geer hadn't seen the extraordinary path of "Shipwreck Mourner" again.

When mentioning the extraordinary power related to his own future, Geer suddenly became more serious, and asked Aiwen: "Aiwen, there are many extraordinary paths in this world. Why do you think the knight path dominates the human world?"

Although he has a vision that transcends the times, Ivan has never considered this issue. After thinking about it and combining the teachings of Grandpa Leo 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 state of the civilized world.

The internal factor is because although the path of the knight is extraordinary, the extraordinary power involved is only aimed at the relatively basic and pure human body, and the risk of losing control is the smallest and the most stable. Even if it eventually gets out of control, it won't be too destructive. "

Gordon paused to give Ivan time to digest, and continued to explain:

"The external factor is due to the contribution of the 'Church of True God', the supernatural power at the top of each country in our continent.

Although the knights are powerful, our path has been firmly fixed, like a sword in the hands of a human being. Even a titled knight of the extraordinary level 4 is only a magic soldier, and it is impossible to threaten their status. "

In his words, Geer, who was an officer of the old-school kingdom, expressed his slight dissatisfaction with the Holy See. If it had to be a big deal in public, Ivan would have never heard it.

"As for those extraordinary paths that are easy to get out of control and cause mass casualties, or extremely creative and promising extraordinary paths, including the "Black Iron Cross Church" that rules our Tulip Alliance, the "Dawn Church" of the Sark Empire, the Sea Including the "Eternal Flame" of the overlord Cyrus Kingdom, the attitude of the Church of the Seven True Gods is to suppress and eliminate them!"

"Most of the unpopular transcendental paths like 'Shipwreck Mourner' have flaws, and because of the reasons I said before, the more you leave the civilized world, the more such maverick transcendents. The path is incomplete, or There are all kinds of fatal flaws, and the possibility of getting out of control is scary."

It is impossible to record this knowledge in any book, and it is entirely a summary of Geer's own experience.

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

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

"Keep cheating, kid!" Finally Geer patted Ivan on the shoulder and stuffed the repacked sculpture into his hand.

"Take it back to your room, and guard it all the way back. In the next few years, it will be up to you and me whether we will eat dry or not."

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

The Silver Wing was pulled in front by a cable, and slowly returned to the original battlefield of Chaos Stone Island.

"The Silver Wing is back!"

"We are saved!"

At this time, the burning wreckage of the Warrior had already sunk to the bottom of the sea, and the few lifeboats floating on the sea were sparsely filled with some former Warrior crew members who were dejected. Only when the Silver Wing came back did they regain their vitality.

After they were picked up on board, everyone learned that after they abandoned the ship, the officers on the original Warrior had been mass-fired and killed, including the captain, who had been eating and drinking on the Silver Wing The navigator who drank was the highest-ranking officer among the survivors.

Geer comforted them with kind words. After all, their early engagement with the pirates also caused a huge consumption of them, which was considered an assist for the Silver Wing.

But the spoils of war are definitely nothing to worry about.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third day after returning to Gabrad.

After the brief hustle and bustle of returning from a mission, things seem to be back on track again.

In the past few days, Geer, carrying the aura of honor of beheading the crazy pirate "One-Eyed Betsy", has been walking frequently with Gabrad's nobles and businessmen, which seems to be normal communication and wants to expand contacts. But in fact, only Ivan himself knows that Uncle Geer is looking for a home for their "trophy".

Aiwen can't intervene temporarily, but he also has important tasks of his own.

Third Fleet station.

In the corridor of the station, large oil paintings are hung on the walls dominated by blue tones. There are landscapes, figures, and war scenes. Each painting represents an important moment of the Third Fleet. For the Third Fleet, this is the A veritable wall of merit.

Walking here is like walking in the promenade of history, and a heavy sense of honor to be a part of it arises spontaneously. Even a guy like Ivan, who lacks a sense of identity with another world, can't help but take it easy.

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

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The strength is neither light nor heavy, and the three tones are just right, which is derived from the experience of the workplace in the previous life.

"Come in!" A calm elderly male voice sounded.

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

Three old men in officers' uniforms sat behind a long table covered with a green velvet tablecloth, each with an open notebook in front of them.

Aiwen walked to the empty chair in front of the long table, stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, three officers! 'Silver Wing' warrant officer Aiwen Garriott is here to take the test!"

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

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

Although your achievements have fully met the standards, it is not easy for a young man who has only been in the army for a few months. But every officer shoulders the honor and lives of all his subordinates in times of crisis. If the assessment fails to satisfy us, we cannot entrust you with this responsibility! "

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

"I fully understand! Please start!" Ivan signaled that he understood and was not intimidated by him. I guessed in my heart that this was probably also part of the assessment, in order to prevent someone from thinking that it was a formality and perfunctory, which would make it difficult for everyone to end in the end.

"Please list the names of the three types of rigging on the battleship and their functions."

"Controlling the yard requires halyards, slings, boom lines"

"During the main battle line battle, if your battleship is under fire from the enemy, will you 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, at this time, the top sails of the front and main masts can only be lifted to 'half sail', which is used to lift the bow of the ship, reduce the effect of sinking the bow, and prevent the ship from capsizing!" From the beginning to the end, no matter how the three examiners asked questions, Aiwen answered quickly and calmly.

After learning about the exam format from Geer, he began to prepare. The extremely difficult exam for many reserve officers was a piece of cake for Ai Wen, who had waded through the sea of ​​books and questions in his previous life.

After all, for any alternate officer who can get to this point, he has already been on the battleship for a long enough time, and his practical ability is no problem at all. Officers answer the form for assessment.

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

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

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

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

With a smile on his face, Aiwen stood up, shook hands and hugged every examiner, saluted again, and then slowly retreated to the door before turning around and leaving.

"I like this young man, and I hope to see more and more young men like him who are full of vigor and self-cultivation in the Navy in the future."

"Hehe, people who have worked in civilian jobs all their lives and are about to retire, still worry so much."

"Leave me alone?"

After passing the first turning point in his military career, he truly completed the leap from an alternate officer to a full-fledged officer. Ai Wen only felt his heart widened, and even the chatter of the old officers faintly heard by his ears became extremely cute.

With a slight smile, the corridor was still the one engraved with history, but his footsteps became unexpectedly brisk.

Aiwen's assessment method comes from the assessment of naval officers of the British Empire in the 18th century.
