Chapter 38 Captain
The so-called “ocean treasure” is not a human creation!
It is a kind of magical treasure that a specific item is affected by the mysterious factor of this world and is bred under special conditions.
The reasons for all kinds of strange things may be based on special geographical environment, large-scale historical events with far-reaching influence, and even the mass extinction of life.
The body shape is also varied, it may be a sculpture like “Shipwreck Eulogy”, or it may be a shell, a stone, a pocket watch, etc. Anything that may exist in the real world.
But they have one thing in common, that is, they are extremely difficult to destroy.
Each “ocean treasure” has its own magical ability, 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 treasures will bring incomparable assistance to the ships that hold them. The object that people are desperately chasing.
“Ocean Treasure” has almost been able to draw High Level numbers with power and wealth!
Of course, not all ocean treasures are like “Shipwreck Tributes”, in which an Evil Spirit with ulterior motives lives. Deliberately revealing the information of the secret treasure and a unique extraordinary path, enticing others to use its Evil Power, so as to achieve ulterior motives.
Most of the marine treasures belong to the type of treasure self-deprecating, and it is impossible for professionals to distinguish them as marine treasures.
I have to say that this time, the two uncles and nephews captured the one-eyed Becky’s head, and they also picked up a marine treasure for nothing. It is a great luck!
Although because it is hostile to the order side, as long as the two do not want to defect from the kingdom to become pirates, they cannot use it as a navy, which is a pity. But there is no problem at all in exchanging benefits with nobles with special needs.
“As long as you deal with the Evil Spirit hidden here, you should be able to trade for a good price.” Goll concluded.
As for exchanging a secret treasure that they can use with others, neither of them has any hope. Opportunities are too slim to be met, and it is better to turn them into tangible wealth and resources that can be used now.
“By the way, Geer Uncle, what do you plan to do with the extraordinary path above?” At the end, Alwin asked strangely without seeing Geer mention the extraordinary path of “Shipwreck Mourning the Dead” again. .
Referring to the extraordinary power related to his own future, Geer suddenly became a lot more serious, and asked Alwin: “Alwin, there are many extraordinary paths in this world, why do you think the path of Knight dominates? What about the human world?”
Alwin has a vision beyond the times, but Alwin never considered this issue, and after thinking about it combined with the teachings of Leo grandfather 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.
p>
The internal factor is that although Knight’s path is extraordinary, the extraordinary power involved is only aimed at the relatively pure human body, and the risk of loss of control is the smallest and most stable. Even if it eventually loses control, it will not cause too much damage. Sex.”
Ger paused to allow Alwin time to digest, and continued to explain:
“The external factor is because of the supernatural power at the top of our continent’s countries’ True God Cult. ‘ credit.
Knight is powerful, but our path has been firmly fixed, just like a sword in the hands of people, even the title Knight of extraordinary Level 4 is just a Divine Weapon. impossible threatens their status.”
Ger, an old-fashioned kingdom officer, showed a faint dissatisfaction with the Holy See in his speech. If this was a major event in public, Alwin didn’t hear it at all. .
“And for those extraordinary paths that are easy to get out of control and cause mass casualties, or the extraordinary paths that are very creative and promising, including the “Dark Iron Cross Church” that rules our Tulip League, the Sark Empire Including the “Church of Dawn” and the “Fire of Eternal” in the kingdom of Cyrus, the overlord of the sea, the attitude of the seven True God Cults is to suppress and eliminate them!”
“Like a ‘shipwreck mourning the dead’ Most of these unpopular transcendental paths have flaws, and because of the reasons I said before, the more you leave the civilized world, the more such maverick transcenders. The path is incomplete, or there are various fatal flaws, out of control probability It’s also terrifyingly large.”
These knowledge are impossible recorded in any book, and are entirely based on Geer’s own experience.
As an extraordinary captain who has been in the sea for many years, Goll used his profound accumulation of knowledge and unique perspective to make Alwin suddenly enlightened.
I can’t help but feel fortunate to have such a leader.
“Keep the pit man, child!” Goll finally patted Alwin on the shoulder and shoved the repacked sculpture into his hand.
“Bring it back to your room and guard it all the way back to the voyage. In the next few years, we will depend on it to eat dry or thin.”
Then the two returned to the main deck , transferred a part of the crew to try their best to repair the severely damaged pirate ship, barely able to make it start again.
The Silver Wing was pulled in front with a cable and slowly returned to the original Rocky Island battlefield.
“Silver Wing is back!”
“We are saved!”
At this time, the burning wreck of the Warrior has already sunk in seabed , a few lifeboats floating on the sea were sparsely seated with some downcast former warrior crew , only to see the silver wing come back to life again
After they were picked up on the ship, everyone learned that after they abandoned the ship, the officers on the original Warrior had been slaughtered by focused fire, including the captain. The navigator who ate and drank on the Silver Wing was regarded as the highest-ranking officer among the survivors.
Gerre comforted them with good words. After all, their early engagement with the pirates also cost them a lot, and it was an assist for the Silver Wing.
But spills of war is definitely not a concern.
Time has come to the third day after returning to Gabride.
After the brief hustle and bustle of returning from a mission, everything seems to be back on track.
the past few days, with the aura of honor of beheading the crazy pirate “One-Eyed Betsy”, Goll frequently walked around with Gabred’s nobles and businessmen, seemingly in normal communication and wanted to expand his contacts. But in fact only Alwin himself knows that this is Geer Uncle looking for a home for their “spoils of war”.
Alwin is temporarily unavailable, but he also has important tasks of his own.
The Third Fleet Station.
In the corridor of the resident station, large-scale oil paintings are hung on the walls mainly in blue tone. There are landscapes, characters, and war scenes. Each painting represents an important moment of the Third Fleet. For the Third Fleet, this is the Wall of Merit, not just in name only, but also in reality.
Walking here is like walking in the long corridor of history, and a heavy sense of honor to be a part of it arises spontaneously. Even a guy like Alwin who lacks a sense of identity with the foreign world has involuntarily relaxed his steps.
In front of a room with brass signs, Alwin stopped, rearranged his navy uniform, and knocked lightly on the door.
“dong!”“dong!”“dong!”
The intensity is neither light nor heavy, and the three sounds are just right, which is derived from the experience of the workplace in the previous life.
“Come in!” A calm old male voice sounded.
Pushing the door and entering, the curtains are drawn to block the sunlight outside, but a gas lamp is lit, creating a quiet and solemn atmosphere.
Three old men in school uniforms sat behind a long table covered with a green velvet tablecloth, each with an open notepad in front of them.
Alwin walked over to the empty chair at the long table and stood at attention and saluted: “Hello, three officers! Warrant Officer ‘Silver Wing’ Alwin Garriott is here for the exam!”
” Don’t be nervous, youngster! Please sit down.” The officer in the middle with all white hair and a monocle was very kind, let him sit down with a smile, and signaled that the assessment would start now.
“Before the official start, I hope you will take this assessment seriously.
Although your merits have been fully met, it is very important for a youngster who has only been in the army for a few months. It’s not easy. But every officer bears the honor and life of all his subordinates in a critical moment. If the assessment cannot satisfy us, we cannot hand this responsibility to you!”
At the long table An officer with short gray hair sitting on the right side said seriously.
“I totally get it! Let’s get started!” Alwin signaled that he understood, not intimidated by him. In my heart, I guessed that this was probably part of the assessment, to prevent someone from thinking it was going through the motions and perfunctory things, and finally made it difficult for everyone to end.
“Please list the names of the three types of rigging in the battleship and their functions.”
“Hailing, sling, and girder cables are required to control the sail”
“In the main battle line battle, if your battleship is focused by the enemy, will you order dodge?”
“”
“The wind speed is 10 to 14 knots. , the wave height is at least one meter, can the battleship run with full sail at this time?”
“No, at this time, the top sail of the front and main mast can only be raised to ‘half sail’ to lift the bow of the ship , reduce the effect of burying the head, and avoid the capsizing of the ship!” From beginning to end, no matter how the three examiners asked questions, Alwin answered them fluently.
After learning about the exam format from Geer, he began to prepare. For many reserve officers, the exam was extremely difficult. For Alwin, who came from the sea of books in his previous life, it was a small dish. dish.
After all, for any alternate officer who can go to this step, he has been on the battleship for a long time, and there is no problem with practical ability. The old officers asked the questions and the alternate officers answered the questions for the assessment.
The assessment time lasted 20 minutes, and each examiner asked several questions, which were broad but not tricky.
After Alwin answered the last question, several examiners looked at each other and gave a unified opinion, and a seal representing passing was stamped on Alwin’s file.
“Congratulations, Alwin of the Silver Wing, from today you are a captain of the Navy!” The gentle old man in the middle announced the news on behalf of the three examiners.
“Thank you three examiners! It’s my honor!”
Alwin smiled, got up and shook hands with each examiner, saluted again, and slowly retreated to the door Just turned around and left.
“I like this young man, and I hope to see more and more energetic and well-bred youngsters in the Navy in the future.”
“hehe, he has worked as a civilian all his life. , people who are about to retire, still worry so much”
“You care about me?”
Through the first turning point in his military career, he has truly completed the transition from an alternate officer to a Alwin’s heart was widened when he became a full-fledged officer, and even the rambles of the old officers that were vaguely heard in his ears became very cute.
smiled slightly, the corridor was still the one engraved with history, but his footsteps were unexpectedly brisk.
Alwin’s assessment method is derived from the assessment of naval officers of the British Empire in the 18th century.
