Hold on tight, young man!

They make you a man

"Oh, my Johnny!"
The sailors were cleaning the warship that was unscathed after the great battle, singing the ballad of the brave sailors on the sea.
The cheerful song drifted on the warship, and the seabirds circled above them. The white dolphins that the sailors loved so much jumped out of the water from time to time, as if they were infected by the sailors' song.
After the victory of the first battle and the annihilation of the pirate with a bounty of more than three thousand gold lions, the crew, who were unprecedentedly united and confident, sailed the Roaring Conch through the wind and waves, heading toward the St. Martin Island Naval Base marked on the nautical chart.
Of course, they had reason to be happy.
However, the sun was about to disappear below the sea level.
Although the crew was in high spirits after today's great battle, they were all exhausted. Elvin, who was not in a hurry, decided to drop the anchor and rest for the night. They would continue the journey tomorrow morning. (During normal sailing, sailboats usually took three or two shifts, so the crew would not rest while the crew was resting.)
"My Navigator, please find us a suitable anchorage as a temporary haven."
As the captain, Milan, who was most familiar with the sea conditions and sailing routes, stood up and navigated the Roaring Conch.
Only one and a half hours later, the Roaring Conch arrived at the edge of an island that wasn't even recorded on the nautical chart under the last bit of the afterglow of the sun on the ocean.
They circled to the side of the island, blocked the sea breeze, lowered the sails, and set up camp.
The ship's chef took out the best ingredients from the reserve and the fresh sea fish that the sailors caught and prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone. Barrels of rum were brought out to celebrate this great victory with zero casualties. At the same time, they raised their glasses to praise Captain Elvin's wisdom and strength!
"Cheers! To victory! "
"Cheers! To our great captain! "
"Haha, cheers! To the bravest sailors on the sea! "
“.....”
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, the first mate made specific arrangements for tonight's shift, while the others went to rest early.
As the captain of the ship, Elvin was naturally responsible for the safety of his subordinates, especially in this unfamiliar sea. He had already sent his seabirds to investigate the movements on the island.
After confirming that there were no dangerous predators worth paying attention to, he was relieved to let the first mate make the arrangements and returned to the captain's room.
Coo coo coo …
Basil, the owl that had already settled down in the captain's room, saw its owner come in and hooted twice. Nighttime was the time when this guy was most energetic. Even after being modified by magic, this kind of nature could not be erased.
"Bei Si, go out and play by yourself. Don't run too far."
Besmir, who was as active as a child, had enough wisdom to let him go out on his own. He didn't need Elvin to worry too much.
After lighting up the gas lamp, Elvin took out the 'Eagle Warrior Training Method' that he had obtained from the indigenous youth again and began to study it word by word.
Combining the records on it and his own accumulation of mystical knowledge, he vaguely had a few good inspirations and application plans in his heart.
"Although this method of inscribing a natural spirit totem tattoo on the body seems very powerful, it is mixed with too many factors related to faith and impurities of natural spirit worship.
If I want to use this power, I should find a way to simplify this totem and completely abandon the influence of the so-called natural spirit and the power of faith, or simply in the form of a rune?
At least the direction of this power should not be some dangerous guy with an independent consciousness! "
Elvin held his chin in his hand and fell into deep thought.
There was no doubt that the totem power of the 'Eagle Warrior' was a very useful power, but it was not that easy to analyze it casually.
If it was simply to inscribe the corresponding 'spirit text' on the body, then the sorcerer pioneers who participated in the development of the New World a hundred years ago would have perfected this power and even absorbed it into the sorcerer's system.
If he wanted to make the corresponding 'rune' effective, he might need an entire system to support it. This was no simpler than re-establishing a transcendent language system.
Temporarily putting aside the problems that needed to be solved, Elvin decided to study this unique transcendent system thoroughly first, at least to the extent that it could be replicated on others before thinking about how to improve it.
As he studied, he wrote on the paper. In addition to the constant recording of 'Data Vision', Elvin also recorded every important knowledge in his witchcraft notes so that it would be easier to read in the future.
Although 'Data Vision' was more convenient than paper documents, Elvin always felt that in the process of writing and reading, the knowledge was easier to understand, digest, and then draw inferences about other things.
It had to be said that in addition to the help of the 'Golden Finger' that allowed him to see every bit of his progress at any time, good learning habits and self-discipline were the foundation for Elvin to get to where he was now.
Even if he lost 'Data Vision' now, he would not become a commoner!
"Phew … As expected, learning is the most fulfilling."
Unknowingly, it was already close to midnight. Elvin rolled up the animal skin, turned off the gas lamp, and climbed into bed to begin his meditation cultivation.
Since he had an independent captain's cabin with better conditions, the efficiency of Elvin's nightly routine meditation had significantly improved compared to when he was on the Silver Wing.
Coupled with the precious handwritten notes and supplementary potions obtained from the inheritance of the 'School of Alchemy', Elvin's spiritual power index had reached 0.55 after only half a year of becoming a wizard. He was very close to the requirement of 0.66 for the later stage of apprenticeship.
Although until today, Elvin had been using the basic meditation method obtained from Leon's potion notes, the advantage was that it was solid and stable, without any bias, and would not cause any obstacles for his future choice.
After returning to Gabred from New Haven.
It would have been ridiculous for Elvin to do such a thing in his previous life, but Elvin had indeed asked Milan to divine his future path.
However, he did not know if Milan's ability was limited or if it was something else, but after repeated over and over again, there was only one line of nonsense that made people confused.
"Follow the guidance of your heart, and there will be a turning point in your predicament."
hetui！ That was as good as not saying anything.
Overall, although the 'School of Alchemy's' Potionology 'was very good, it was limited by the raw materials. The higher the level of the potion, the rarer the raw materials. Not to mention the final creation of the 'Fountain of Youth' of the 'Potionology Branch' of the School of Alchemy, the raw materials may not be found even if one searched the sea.
Even if one's skills were top-notch and reached the advanced standard, many times it would be difficult to cook without rice. And if one chose this path, the career focus would inevitably be on researchers, just like Dilis now.
But the adventurer's blood had been boiling in his body, so Elvin was not willing to only engage in research. If in the process of part-time, he could also obtain the power to conquer the 'sea and the unknown,' it would be even better.
For the time being, Elvin resisted the temptation to immediately switch to the 'School of Alchemy's meditation method' and decided to follow the voice in his heart and decided to wait a little longer.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh —
The faint sound of the surging waves outside the window made Elvin's heart more and more calm. He was deeply immersed in the state of meditation, and while his mental strength slowly increased, it also became sharper.
Outside the door, there was the sound of the marines on night duty patrolling back and forth, the sound of the two lookouts on the mast's lookout tower chatting in low voices, the sound of snoring in the cabin, and even the sound of birds and insects chirping from the small island not far away.
This state of almost breathing together with the world was deeply intoxicating.
Slowly, the sharp mental touch went deeper into his body, and his mental strength slowly increased and strengthened. Elvin also entered a deep state of meditation where he was wholeheartedly immersed in it.
So he did not notice at all that some unknown changes were quietly happening in the outside world.
Pop … Pop …
In the distance, two huge bubbles appeared on the dark surface of the sea. Under the water, there seemed to be a huge black shadow swimming past, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared again.
"Hey, why is there a sudden fog?" The lookouts on the two masts looked at the layer of white fog that was gradually rising on the surface of the sea, and one of them softly reminded his companion.
"This season is quite normal, I just hope that it will disperse tomorrow and not delay our journey." His companion used a brass monocular to observe the surroundings for a while, and did not find anything unusual.
"I hope so! Yawn, I don't know why I'm especially sleepy tonight, I can't wait to sleep on the mast. "
"Please don't sleep, although I'm a little sleepy too! But hold on for a while and we'll change shifts. If the chief officer sees you and gives you two whips, don't expect me to plead for you! "
"Mm, okay, don't … sleep … snore … snore … snore …"
"Snore … snore …"
The two on duty were just chatting, but now they actually fell asleep as soon as they said so.
What was even stranger was that they closed their eyes and snored, slipping down the mast one after another, and walked step by step into the fog that had already spread to the deck and was getting thicker …
Then, he disappeared.
