The next day.
As soon as Milan regained her spellcasting ability, Elvin asked her to perform another divination. He didn't want to see her again like the first time. He just wanted to know if she was alive or dead!
Elvin still had a lingering fear from the last scene of the sea dragon pouncing on the city wall. He didn't have high expectations at all. As long as his sister was alive, it didn't matter if they couldn't see each other again.
"She must be fine! She must be fine! "
This time, it wasn't as troublesome as the "Moonlight Spirit Implantation" ritual. He just needed to put the crystal ball back and perform a normal crystal ball divination. In fact, even if Milan wanted to perform a ritual of that level, it would be impossible without a few months to calm down the turbulence in her spirituality.
As Milan focused on casting the spell, a light mist slowly appeared in the transparent crystal ball. It was a sign of a successful divination!
Two pairs of eyes widened at the same time.
But in the next moment …
Puff —
Like a candle flame that was suddenly blown out, the light mist disappeared instantly before it could connect.
The two were stunned and looked at each other. They saw each other's mouth open at the same time.
Even if it didn't succeed, it wasn't a failure. Both of them knew what this meant. Before Elvin left for New Ein Harbor half a year ago, he asked Milan, who was still a sorcerer-apprentice, to perform a divination. The same thing happened.
"Milan, your power … It can't be that you're a sorcerer-apprentice again, right?!"
Elvin was a little dumbfounded. Could it be that the divination ritual yesterday caused Milan's spirituality to degenerate back to the level of an apprentice? If so, he would have sinned too much.
"No, it's not!"
Milan looked at her hands in disbelief. She repeatedly confirmed that she was still a sorcerer-level "prophet". Her spirituality was only temporarily declining. In fact, it didn't hurt her at all.
This time, there was no problem with the "divination". The crystal ball's spirituality also gave her feedback. It was just that the difference in power between her and the target was too big to continue the divination.
"Could it be …?"
The two spoke in unison.
"Great Knight?!!!"
.....
"It's a good time to go out to sea,
Let's go, my young man,
The sails are already hanging high,
You are a good boy.
Come sail with us,
Braving the wind and breaking the waves together.
You're already a man.
You should make your own choice.
Make up your mind and jump on deck.
Don't dawdle, young man.
Look at the distant horizon
The clouds are gathering.
Johnny!
We were born for storms.
.....”
Listening to the cheerful singing of the crew, Elvin stood at the bow of the ship, wearing a captain's cloak and leaning on his sword. The sea breeze made his clothes flutter.
The Roaring Conch's bow cut through the sea surface. The waves were a bit strong today, and the water splashed and turned into snow foam around him.
Elvin didn't see Anita kill the sea dragon with "Dragon Slaying Sword, Siegfried" and bathe in the blood of the sea dragon's heart.
Although he found it incredible that his sister had unexpectedly become a Great Knight in that dangerous situation, not only was she fine, but she had also unexpectedly become a Great Knight.
But at this moment, he was thousands of miles away, so he could only put it down gently. At least he knew that his sister was fine for the time being, and they would meet again in the future.
As for putting everything down now and setting off to the dangerous Fog Sea far away in the New World, and looking for her in the "Shipwreck Bay" full of ferocious pirates?
Hehe, Elvin wasn't that reckless.
After taking up the new post, the Roaring Conch spent a few more days in the coastal waters before finally leaving the port and starting Elvin's first mission as captain.
He used to have his uncle Gör on the Silver Wing, and the instructor at the Naval Academy to look after him. Now that he was really at sea, he could only rely on himself.
Although it was just a simple mission of a coastal cruise and mail delivery, Elvin was 120% focused. He had to do it cleanly and without any accidents!
The crew under him was naturally the same.
It was the first time for a cruise mission with the new captain, and everyone wanted to perform well. After all, this captain had the power to control the promotion and even the life and death of most people on the ship.
After going out to sea, until today.
The first cruise mission was almost over. Even the beginning of the return journey was calm and peaceful. It seemed like it would be a relaxing and pleasant journey.
After all, Elvin had been serving on the Silver Wing before. With Gör on board, the Silver Wing carried out the most difficult missions below the battleship level. Now that Elvin had left the Silver Wing, it was natural for him to feel relaxed to carry out the routine missions of an ordinary Level 6 warship.
At least now, he wouldn't run into sea monsters or be besieged by ferocious pirates …
After another routine patrol, Elvin returned to his own independent captain's cabin.
No matter how low the level of a warship was, the living and working conditions of a captain on a warship were still guaranteed. At least, it was much better than on the Silver Wing.
Dong … dong … dong …
"Coo coo coo …"
On the shelf next to the porthole, the snow-white owl, Beth, tilted its head and looked curiously at the door. After becoming the captain, Elvin openly arranged a separate place for his "pet" in the captain's cabin.
After all, it was a bit difficult for an owl to fly on the sea with the seabirds after going out to sea with the ship.
"Come in!"
"Sir Captain, I have the nautical chart. Do you need me to report the next voyage to you?"
The door opened and the person who came in was the navigator of the Roaring Conch, Adrian.
He was a silent middle-aged man with flaxen curls and a weather-beaten face. Years of sailing had allowed him to accumulate a certain amount of experience. He was not outstanding, but he was not unqualified either.
His appearance was ordinary, his personality was ordinary, and his ability was ordinary. In short, he was an "ordinary" person who was difficult to leave a deep impression on.
After all, he had spent most of his life on a Level 6 warship. No matter how much ambition he had, it had been wiped clean. At this age, it was difficult for him to be like a young man who had enough ambition and perseverance to hone his skills and break through himself.
Perhaps his greatest wish was to be able to peacefully hold the rank of Captain until he retired.
However, Elvin did not ask too much of him for the time being. After all, he had just taken office and many things still needed to be straightened out step by step.
With Elvin's permission.
Adrian walked to the side of the desk and unfolded the nautical chart in his hand.
He said respectfully, "Sir Captain, look! "Kampalan, Tulst, and Wesker. These three cities are connected to each other on the way back from our cruise. The journey will take about two and a half days.
The last stop will be a short stop at a small fishing town, Leopold. After that, we will sail along the winding coastline. It will take less than two days to return to Gabred. "
"Leopold?" A name that was so familiar that it had almost been engraved into his flesh made Elvin's movements pause for a moment.
Listening to Adrian's introduction, he had already shifted his gaze to the nautical chart that was unfolded on the table. As an outstanding graduate of the Royal Naval College, Elvin who had reached the Proficient Level in "Nautical Knowledge" naturally understood the nautical chart.
This was a typical Portland-type nautical chart that was created and perfected by Saint Portland, the Blessed of the Goddess of Royalty and Navigation.
The nautical chart was full of radial lines. With the help of these lines and the compass, the navigators could determine their position on the sea. It was relatively convenient.
The content marked on the chart mainly included: shore, island, reef, depth, navigation mark, lighthouse, supply point, habitat of dangerous sea creatures, and so on.
With the nautical chart, the ships on the sea could accurately determine their course, find suitable supply points, avoid accidentally entering the habitat of Transcendent creatures, and avoid being stranded on submerged reefs. It was one of the indispensable pieces of hardware for navigation in this era.
Of course.
If you were an adventurer who was brave enough to explore the unknown sea, you could just ignore it.
As a necessity for navigation, a precise nautical chart also required a huge cost of manpower, material resources, and time. It was not something that ordinary small forces could do. Therefore, it was naturally very expensive.
