On the sea, a three-masted ship was breaking through the waves at a speed that was clearly beyond common sense.
At the bow of the ship, a beautiful statue of a goddess with a hazy face and a graceful figure spread out her arms, propping up an extraordinary spiritual light that was hard to see with the naked eye. This allowed the warship to possess speed and stability that ordinary ships could not hope to achieve.
Considering that they were all on the same ship, the warship's abnormal speed could not be hidden from the crew. At this moment, the captains who were qualified to come into contact with the supernatural world had already learned of the magical abilities of the new ship's bow statue from Elvin.
At this moment, the officers who were not on duty were all gathered at the bow of the ship, scrutinizing the treasure.
After all, they had always been at the bottom of the kingdom's chain of contempt for Grade 6 ships. When had they ever seen such a magical item?
All of them were exclaiming in amazement.
"This magical power … Is it witchcraft?" Chief Officer Borg, who was in charge of logistics, was the most knowledgeable. He had inadvertently exposed the essence of the "bow statue" with a single sentence.
"Shh! What witchcraft? This is a power bestowed by the gods! "A cautious colleague quickly stopped the blabbermouth.
"Hehe, what's there to hide? This is the sea! So what if it's a wizard, let alone a witchcraft item? You can't possibly think that the alchemy weapons distributed on the battleship were made by ordinary people in the military factory, right? "
Having been the chief officer for many years, even if he did not come into contact with the upper echelons, some of the inside stories of the navy could not be hidden from this old sailor!
However, although everyone was talking about the truth and lies, no one dared to touch it with their own hands.
Being wary of unknown witchcraft was only one of the reasons. More importantly, this was the personal item of the captain. If it was damaged, they would not be able to bear the responsibility.
Among the group of people chatting around the bow statue, the boatswain, Vader, seemed to be the most enthusiastic.
At only 22 years old, he had become the boatswain with his outstanding sail control skills and professional abilities. He was also the youngest captain on the Roaring Conch before Elvin joined.
Unlike Elvin, who was born in a declining noble family, Vader, who was born in a commoner's family, had nothing else but the spirit of studying professional skills.
Even when Elvin was talking about the effects of the "Monsoon Goddess" on the ship's bow, he was the only one who had the courage to ask Elvin about the mechanism of this mystical item …
After a brief examination, Elvin regretfully informed Vader that he did not have the necessary aptitude (Magus aptitude) to delve into this mysterious force.
However, Vader had also successfully entered Elvin's line of sight.
After all, apart from his military rank, this Captain Vader was one of the few "talents" on the Roaring Conch who still had a chance to advance further on the path of Transcendent.
After Elvin asked the officers to temporarily limit the spread of the "bow portrait," he returned to the captain's cabin alone.
Coo coo coo …
Of course, there was also the captain's "pet" owl, Beth.
Elvin leaned on the captain's chair in a very casual posture. He closed his eyes and his vision automatically connected to the seabirds' reconnaissance network.
In the few months after the incident with the evil god, Elvin had finally perfected his "Garriott Bird Modification Spell 2.0."
He mainly modified the black-feathered frigatebird and the great albatross, two seabirds that were large enough. To be more precise, he had artificially induced them to undergo a certain degree of demonization.
After the modification, the black-feathered frigatebird's wingspan had increased from its original average of three meters to five meters. Its feathers were tough and had a metallic color to them, and they were already able to withstand close range fire from firearms.
The bird's beak and claws were sharp and cold. Even the hard head of a wild boar could not withstand a single peck from the sky.
Even if it did not have any spell-like abilities for the time being, its size and defense were already comparable to a peak-level Novice Knight. As long as three of them were dispatched together, and with Beth's coordination and coordination, they could directly suppress ordinary officers like the "Shark Tooth Pirates."
Compared to the success of the black-feathered frigatebird, the modification of the great albatross was not so smooth.
Elvin got inspiration from its huge size. His initial idea was to modify the warship as a platform, and the seabirds that could carry people into the sky to form the "Sky Knight" unit.
But the final result was not satisfactory.
In the final test, the great albatross had indeed become much larger. Its wingspan had reached seven meters. Although it successfully carried Angel, who was an experimental assistant, into the sky, it was far from being able to carry Elvin, an official Knight who had completed the Transcendent transformation and whose muscles and bones had greatly increased in density.
Elvin guessed that reaching such a size and strength was probably the limit of an ordinary creature. In order to truly break through this limit, his witchcraft level needed to be further improved and help them complete the complete demonization.
Analogous to humans, it was to complete the Transcendent transformation and complete the Berserk transformation!
However, at that point, it was hard to say how many of the first generation great albatrosses, which only had about ten in total, would be left. Even the Transcendent transformation of humans was very risky, let alone a mere seabird.
There seemed to be many creatures in the outside world that had withstood the test of the Berserk transformation and formed a stable group of demonized creatures, but that was based on the huge number of natural creatures. It did not mean that they could withstand it better than humans!
Except for the black-feathered frigatebird and the great albatross.
The most common white seagull, as the main force of the scouts, did not undergo any external modifications. The nature of its work was, of course, the more inconspicuous it was, the better. It only further strengthened their senses and environmental tolerance, and the degree of modification was not too great.
The small and swift needle-tailed swifts, while maintaining their overall coordination, focused on strengthening their wings and bones, making their bodies lighter and flying faster!
In fact, with Elvin's current accumulation of knowledge, it was not that he could not give the seabirds a higher degree of modification, but he wanted to leave them the greatest room for improvement. When his witchcraft level was higher, they could still follow in his footsteps.
Now, Elvin's flock of birds had been modified and supplemented several times, forming a scouting team with the needle-tailed swifts and white seagulls as the main force, an aerial combat formation with the black-feathered frigatebird as the main force, and a backup mount, the great albatross, which Elvin was not very satisfied with for the time being.
However, Elvin did not plan to leave them idle. For the time being, he used the big bird, which had a wingspan of seven meters and could fly all day, as a large early warning aircraft.
As a transit for the owl, Beth, it could greatly expand the existing scouting radius.
After several upgrades, the scouting radius of the seabirds had now risen from the initial ten kilometers to more than fifty kilometers. As long as it was within this range, the scouting network could ensure that the images were transmitted in real time without any delay.
At this point, Elvin's seabird unit had taken shape. With the warship as the platform, its main function was to scout and assist in battle.
However, it was like a brand-new army that had just been equipped with new equipment. It still needed follow-up training and run-in to truly unleash its combat power.
After returning to Gabred, this work was what Elvin had been doing.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The "steel" wingspan, which had reached five meters, easily rode the turbulent airflow on the sea. The flying formation formed by three black-feathered frigatebirds flew over the "Roaring Conch" and shot toward the distant sea.
With the signal transmission amplification of the "base station" Beth and the "early warning aircraft" great albatross, Elvin could not only passively receive the signals of the seabirds at the terminal, but also project a part of his mental power to precisely control the movements of the seabirds.
However, with the size of the black-feathered frigatebird, three was already the limit. If there were too many of them, they would lose sight of one thing and lose sight of the other. Their combat power would decrease instead of increasing.
Now, Elvin was ready to continue the training subject that he had failed many times before: Consciousness Descent, using human consciousness to control the strengthened body of the frigatebird to perform extraordinary swordsmanship!
This was also a somewhat helpless alternative plan due to the lagging development of spell-like abilities.
Whoosh!
A frigatebird flapped its wings awkwardly and dived toward the sea after accelerating to the limit. Its sharp beak was like a sharp sword that pierced the air and tore it apart, making an ear-piercing scream.
But … it still failed.
If he hadn't reacted in time and controlled it to climb quickly, he might have let the poor "test subject" plunge into the sea.
Although the frigatebird was a seabird, its feathers were not waterproof and it couldn't swim at all. It relied on robbing other birds for a living. If it had plunged into the sea just now, it would never have been able to get up again.
"It seems that this idea is difficult to realize. The foundation of the Knight's swordsmanship is the breathing technique, but the body structure and breathing method of birds are too different from that of humans. I was too whimsical before.
To achieve that effect is tantamount to re-establishing a cultivation system for bird creatures, which is far beyond the limit of my ability.
In the end, it still has to fall on the development of spell-like abilities? "
Elvin was mentally prepared for the failure of the experiment again, and he wasn't particularly frustrated at this time. Instead, he recorded the process of his experiments again and again, temporarily sealed it, and then explored the possibility of another direction.
His consciousness drove the frigatebird flying formation, and it was a little far from the "Roaring Conch".
"Hey, there's a ship here? That symbol is … Egret Chamber of Commerce?! "
From the perspective of the frigatebird in the sky, through the clouds and smoke, two ships were sailing side by side on the blue sea. However, it was obvious that they were not companions.
An armed merchant ship hung a white sail with the logo of the Egret Chamber of Commerce, while the other three-masted ship hung a black sail that belonged to pirates.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even from high up in the sky, the continuous roar of cannon fire could be heard from below. The two ships sailing side by side fired at each other as they continued to approach each other. The sailors on the two ships sharpened their swords as they prepared for the inevitable boarding battle that would follow.
However, seeing the armed merchant ship being robbed by pirates, Elvin had no intention of going up to help.
Because the "Egret Chamber of Commerce" was the property of his enemy, Count Wright of the Ilya Kingdom!
Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road!
