Under the slightly gloomy sky.
Hua, hua, hua …
Two warships with the Sack Empire's "Galloping Horse Cavalry Blade" flag were moving at full speed across the sea.
After accepting the mission.
The soldiers had already prepared the "Storm Horn" to set off. After heading north to the "George Fort", they met up with the "Strider" that was waiting there.
After both of them put on the Sack Empire's military flag for disguise, they headed to the far sea border together.
This route wasn't chosen by them, either. Instead, it was the best route between the Shilius colony and the Potosi Archipelago after comprehensive calculations by the garrison staff.
Actually.
Although the sea was wide, it didn't mean that they could sail north, south, east, and west.
According to the wind, currents, waves, fog, ice, and other conditions of the different seasons, combined with geography, hydrology, meteorology, and ship conditions, they could form this route through long periods of navigation.
Given the current climate, the most likely route for Shilius's reinforcements and supply ships would be to avoid the Tulip colony's territorial waters.
Of course, if there was a captain who was willing to take a large detour and enter the sea boundary where the weather was constantly changing, Elvin could only respect him as a man.
He would let him go while he was at it.
"Captain Robbins, there are no abnormalities for now, so let's continue forward.
I feel that since the higher ups don't want to reveal their intention to fight ahead of time, we can directly go to the buffer zone between the Tulip and Sack territories. At least if something happens to Shilius' supply ships in our territory, they won't be able to find us. "
There was a white seagull on the "Strider" captain Robbins' seat, acting as a messenger between the two captains. It also avoided the inconvenience of communication and limited information.
"Captain Elvin, this ability of yours really is great. I can already see the scene of this ability showing its brilliance in a large scale battle. "
Robbins didn't immediately reply to Elvin's question, rather he was amazed by this new method. This kind of short-distance instant communication ability was simply an epoch-making weapon for warship formation battle command.
Although it could only be used when Elvin was present, the flaws couldn't obscure the jade!
Robbins who didn't know that "Violet Eyes" already had this kind of technology didn't hold back on his praise.
"We have a real-time intelligence network, and the purpose of the mission is very simple. This time, Endeavour and I will listen to your command. We'll go wherever you want us to go! "
Luo Binsi was very straightforward. Storm Horn was far stronger than him, and he had the source of the intelligence.
Other than his experience, he had nothing to show off in front of the other party, so he readily gave up his command.
"Alright! Then I won't hold back, Captain Robbins!
Adjust three compass points to the left and we will block the Tulip and Sark's territorial waters. "
"Understood! Captain! "
Soon, the two battleships changed course and headed north.
However …
Of course, Elvin wasn't idle during the voyage.
Bang!
On Storm Horn, a big shark that was more than three meters long was thrown to the deck.
Elvin easily suppressed the struggle of the huge shark with his knees, and then lightly punched its head with his fist.
The invisible force had easily knocked it out.
As for the difference in the structure of divine power between sharks and humans, it would inevitably lead to repercussions, but it didn't matter now.
This was because its countless predecessors had used their blood and tears to prove that there was basically no chance of waking up on this deck.
"Captain, here you go!"
Elvin took the special knife from Gary, who was helping him. He lowered his head and looked at the shark that was no longer moving, but was still alive.
"This should be a success, right?"
After advancing to an official Magus, Elvin's main spell list had been expanded once again, except for a few spells that were originally at the apprentice level that had been strengthened.
There were also two new series of branches with the core of "Activated Beast Skin" and "Biological Modification" as the core.
[Activated Beast Skin]: Using the skin of an extraordinary creature to create a "Skin Man" (The strengthening effect of ordinary creatures' skin is limited, and it has no effect on official Magi).
[Biological Modification]: Includes bloodline activation ceremony, contracting magical creatures, bloodline transplantation, mutation induction, and so on.
Other than the "Flesh Puppet" that was recorded in the second volume, the current "Flesh Sacrifice" had a complete record.
Every branch of witchcraft was made up of many smaller spells, forming a complicated and precise system.
This included "Mutation Curse", "Flesh Riot", "Freeze", "Frenzy", "Deep Sleep", "Reverse Blood Flow", "Sage Mind", and many other powerful spells.
After setting off, Elvin had already begun to research the many powerful spells that had been passed down from his school, as well as making preparations to suppress the "Adventurer's Blood" that was like a ticking time bomb in his body.
Especially in the current situation where the gods were reviving, countries were fighting, and colonies were clashing … These were all situations that were getting more and more unstable.
However, Elvin, who had barely gotten rid of his identity as a "duckweed" that went with the flow, had a little foundation and confidence, and was still far from being able to sit back and relax.
If he didn't seize the time to strengthen himself, he might be knocked into the sea by a wave at any time.
Moreover, he had also exchanged a letter with Anita. Although his sister, who was far away in Ilya, did not give him any bad news.
However, Elvin could also see from between the lines that Anita did not have any good methods to deal with Count Wright, who was gradually seizing the highest authority in Ilya.
Even if she was a Great Knight, there was still a limit.
Subduing a group of small pirates, killing a few of their lackeys, and severely damaging the "Egret Chamber of Commerce"'s maritime trade, and almost removing them from the list, was already her limit.
With the other party's current position, after being slightly battered, Anita's actions had almost come to a standstill just by putting the merchant ship under the name of another entity.
After all, she was not a true homicidal maniac, and she could not do something like harming the innocent.
For this level of power, perhaps the deterrence of a Great Knight was not as damaging as a large-scale economic war.
Therefore, Elvin felt that he still had to carry out his original plan step by step. He would use the kingdom's platform to accumulate power, accumulate influence, and give Count Wright a hard push at the critical moment of Ilya's internal struggle, and knock Count Wright down the abyss from his foundation.
At this moment.
His research topic was the new series of spells, [Animated Beast Skin], which could increase the strength of the crew under his command in the shortest amount of time.
Putting on the 'Animal Skin' and becoming a 'Skin Man' would immediately increase the strength of one's body to a certain extent. It was currently one of the spells that Elvin had that could easily increase one's combat strength.
After going out to sea, he had done a few experiments almost every day. Elvin felt that he had more or less prepared a series of theories and knowledge.
He rolled up his sleeves and slowly cut down.

The blade that was soaked in the light of magic easily peeled off the shark's skin, not causing any unnecessary damage, and there was very little bleeding.
In this period of time, Elvin had practiced with dozens of various large fish, and his technique was very skillful.
During this process, Elvin's mouth was filled with incantations that were filled with vitality.
The shark's skin also began to squirm, as if what he was peeling off was not a layer of skin, but a special living creature!
As he peeled off the shark's skin, all sorts of information flowed through his mind.
This was a horned shark that was very common in the entire Black Sea. It was not a demonic creature, but an ordinary shark. It got its name because of the hard spike on its back. It mainly fed on marine mammals, fish, and carrion.
The shark's skeleton was all cartilage, which was lighter than a normal skeleton. It also did not have swim bladders. Instead, it had a lot of fat in its liver, which could be used as an extra supplement for the crew.
Bony fishes had bone scales, while cartilage fishes like sharks had shield scales, which mainly consisted of enamel, tooth cavity, and marrow cavity. It was somewhat similar to the type of teeth.
Even from an evolutionary point of view, the shark's teeth that could continuously grow were in fact a kind of mutated scale.
Ci la —
The last bit of skin connected to the head was peeled off, and the horned shark on the ground trembled, and then there was no more sound.
This shark's skin seemed to have completely turned into a mutated monster. Even if it was held in Elvin's hand, it was still squirming and struggling.
However, as Elvin continued to chant, the spiritual light overflowing from the shark's skin became stronger and stronger, and the extent of its struggle continued to weaken.
Its shape also began to slowly mutate and expand from the shape of a shark. It had some human characteristics, such as growing hands and legs. It looked like shark's skin, but also like a piece of clothing.
Finally, after struggling in Elvin's hand for a minute, it finally quieted down.
This meant that the first "Activated Animal Skin" in Elvin's hands was complete!
At this time, the appearance of the shark's skin did not change much. Although it was indeed red inside, it was slightly cool and soft to the touch, and had a rubber-like texture.
Gently shaking this magical witchcraft creation, Elvin's eyes swept through the crowd of onlookers.
"How about it? Are there any volunteers who want to give it a try? "
As soon as he finished speaking.
"Sir Captain! I want to give it a try! "
"Sir! Let me do it! "
Two young men walked out at the same time.
They were both veterans from the "Roaring Conch" era. They were two of the four recruits who first joined Elvin.
One of them was Flake, who Elvin thought was only inferior to Gary in terms of aptitude and was similar to Sail Captain Vader. The other was Baldwin, who was kidnapped by pirates on the island formed by the rock golem "Mountain Giant."
However, after some consideration.
Elvin did not choose Flake, who had better aptitude, but Baldwin, who had relatively mediocre aptitude.
This witchcraft creation was for those who needed external help. If it was given to Flake, who had the potential to become an official Knight, it would not be able to display the ability of "Activated Animal Skin." Secondly, it might affect Flake's future development.
"Baldwin, you do it!"
Flake saluted and did not show any dissatisfaction with Elvin's decision. He turned around and returned to the line.
The other young soldier with a determined expression was overjoyed when he heard his name.
"Yes, sir! Your Excellency! "
He walked to Elvin's side and took over the "witchcraft creation" that looked a little strange and had nothing to do with decent people.
"Just drape it over your body and use whatever you want. If you're afraid that you won't be able to concentrate, you can also shout. The activation code is' Invincible! '"
Baldwin knew that his aptitude was average. Although his level of effort was about the same, in less than two years, the gap between him and Flake, who had better aptitude, seemed to be unreachable.
But every time he thought of the humiliation of being captured by the enemy and the promise he made to the captain, he would turn the humiliation into motivation to spur himself and gain the strength to prevent himself and his comrades from such encounters.
Although he did not say it, he always had a sense of urgency and mission in his heart. He did not want to be left behind by Flake too far.
He took a deep breath and draped the shark skin over his body.
Then, perhaps feeling a little ashamed, he softly shouted,
"Invincible!"
As if an invisible switch had been activated, the "Activated Animal Skin" immediately squirmed and covered Baldwin's entire body. From his head, chest, abdomen to his limbs, he was wrapped in the gray shark skin with fine shield scales.
After a few breaths.
On the spot, Baldwin's appearance had changed drastically. His head was as sharp as a shark's, and his height had increased by half a head. The bulging muscles all over his body outlined extremely obvious lines.
There was a dark spike protruding from his back, and there was a structure similar to a shark's fin protruding from his elbows. If it were not for the fact that he still retained a human face from the "shark's" mouth, he would not be much different from a mutated shark.
However.
Putting aside his combat strength, just his appearance alone was simply … ugly!!!
