Early spring, Hatraffa Harbor.
The tropical oceanic climate in this area could be described as "long summer without winter". In other places, the weather was beginning to warm up, but the changes on the island were not so obvious.
Not only the climate, but even the turbulence around Potosi between the countries did not affect this place at all.
Elvin knew that he had to eat as much as he could, which was something he knew very well.
Early in the morning.
He called Milan and went into the tropical forest on the inner side of the island. The evergreen plants were lush, and all kinds of wild flowers bloomed in the grass.
Squeak!
Squeak!
Unknown birds and small animals were very active, and there was a rare vitality in the north of the New World.
They passed through a path that had been specially opened and came to a cave that was as tall as two people.
Flutter!
On a nearby tree, Besmir, who had been guarding here, flapped his wings and gently landed on Elvin's shoulder.
"Besmir, how is it? Is there anything unexpected? "
"Squeak, everything is normal!"
With the continuous growth of wisdom and the accumulation of knowledge, Besmir really looked like an owl scholar. It was no longer a problem for him to help Elvin with some simple experimental support work.
Of course, it was not just to be studied …
Looking at the cave in front of him, Elvin's mood was slightly nervous.
After the last mission ended and returned to Hatraffa Harbor, he immediately started his "Garriott Bird Modification 3.0" project.
The main goal was the current main force of the seabird reconnaissance network, the white seagull.
The success of the modification was not only related to the upgrade of his reconnaissance network, but also related to the next step of his spiritual exploration and continuous progress after he became an official wizard.
It was very significant!
Especially as a wizard whose fundamental power was the soul, it was really unreasonable that he had not done his first spiritual exploration a few months after his successful promotion.
Before.
Although he already had a modification plan that he thought was more mature, this time it involved a qualitative change from ordinary to extraordinary.
To be on the safe side, Elvin took advantage of the northern seagulls that came to the south to overwinter and caught thousands of white seagulls at one time and put them all into the experiment. Most of them were more plastic young birds.
No matter how low the success rate of this kind of metamorphosis was, with a large enough base, there should be enough production.
The only drawback was that the number of experimental subjects was considerable, and the overall cost of the modification was even more considerable. It was enough to build a brand-new level six cruiser, which was too extravagant in the eyes of outsiders.
He kept an eye on the time in his "Digitized Vision" and the movements in the cave. He felt that the time had come.
"Let's go in."
Pop — —
Elvin stepped forward and broke the invisible barrier at the entrance of the cave. A strange smell spread out. It was like egg white, but also like amniotic fluid.
However, the two people and the bird, who were already mentally prepared, walked in without a frown.
Tap … tap … tap …
After passing through a long and narrow passage, they entered the spacious interior of the cave. This cave, which was originally discovered by accident, had changed greatly.
The ground and walls of the cave were covered with a layer of light-red jelly-like flesh. The surface of the flesh was densely packed with eggs of similar shapes, sizes, and colors.
Especially under the illumination of a fist-sized blood essence stone above their heads, this scene resembled an alien hatching. It made one's scalp tingle.
Milan closed her eyes slightly. Her spiritual light flickered as if she was communicating with something. Soon, she opened her eyes again.
"There should be no problem. The ability has been solidified."
As soon as she finished speaking.
Crack! Crack! …
Among the more than a thousand eggs, seagulls that had successfully transformed broke out of their shells one after another.
"Chirp chirp chirp …"
Amidst the noisy cries.
They shook off the mucus on their bodies, and their waterproof feathers immediately became dry. They extended their 1.5-meter-long snow-white wings and soared into the sky.
Flutter — —
In the next half an hour, more and more white seagulls broke out of their shells. In the end, a total of 152 brand new white seagulls were successfully hatched out of the thousands of eggs.
As for those that had not hatched yet, it was obvious that they would never hatch again.
Although the success rate was only one-tenth, it involved extraordinary metamorphosis after all. Elvin was very satisfied with this ratio.
"It's enough!"
Taking a step forward, Elvin looked at the birds circling above his head and snapped his fingers.
Snap — —
Immediately, white light slowly overflowed from the surface of the seagulls flying around the cave.
Then the bird's body gradually blurred and turned into a faintly discernible light shadow. Even the stalactites in the cave did not dodge and directly passed through them.
And they seemed to be unaware of it.
This was the "Bloodline Modification Spell" that Elvin used on them that could only be used by official wizards to complete the transformation. While truly achieving extraordinary metamorphosis into magical creatures, they were given powerful spell-like abilities.
[Spell-Like Spiritualization] broke the boundary between matter and spirit. It could be freely switched, but the price was that the lifespan was halved.
A normal seagull's lifespan was about 24 years. Now this group of spiritualized seagulls could barely live for 12 years. Unless Elvin could make another major breakthrough in the biological modification technology during this period, it would be possible for them to get rid of this fate.
However, considering that the future was still too far away, Elvin was very confident in his own growth speed.
At the same time.
The solidified extraordinary connection between them and Besmir, which was the base station, had been re-established.
Elvin immediately ordered:
"Let them fly. Let's check the modification effect."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! …
There was no need to go to the entrance of the cave. The white seagulls had turned into white arrows and flew out from the rocks at the top of the cave.
In the blink of an eye, they had reached the sky and were still climbing rapidly. Not long after, they had reached the troposphere at a height of 10,000 meters. Then, they easily broke through the boundary and entered the stratosphere. Their flying altitude had reached 12,000 meters!
It should be noted that three-quarters of the air quality on the planet was concentrated in the troposphere. For normal birds, flying at an altitude of less than 200 meters was simply terrifying.
The change in the nature of life had also greatly expanded their senses. It was absolutely impossible for them to not be able to detect the countless lizards hiding in the shadows like when they were on the Black Dike.
Now, the 152 white seagulls were scattered under the command of Besmir. With their superb vision that had reached 36 kilometers, each seagull had a panoramic view of an area with a diameter of about 50 kilometers.
When combined with each other, they were like simplified satellites, presenting the scene of a large area in front of Elvin.
In the God's View from above.
Near the Port of Hatraffa, a group of soldiers were exploring the channel under the leadership of Boris. They wanted to find the channels that led to the Tasman Islands behind the reefs.
In the naval base of 'Dirben Castle', two dusty cruisers slowly returned. A group of soldiers were practicing their sword arts in the drill ground on the island. 'Brilliance', the quasi-legendary warship, did not stay in the port.
A little further away in the Far Sail Territory, in a large market held to welcome the arrival of spring, the stalls were full of people coming and going. It was a bustling and prosperous scene that was rare in the colonies of the New World.
Further away, a battle at sea with great disparity had just come to an end. A group of ferocious pirates sank the merchant ships that dared to resist and left with the blood-stained trophies.
Of course, this was the limit of their current detection. The clarity was limited.
If they wanted to achieve accurate detection, such as recognizing a face within a certain range, the detection range would be greatly reduced.
Other than that.
When they were spiritualized, they also solidified the [Mind Connection] that Milan had contributed to them, further strengthening the short-range signal. They became network nodes that covered the void and could even achieve the ability to [Speak] on a large scale.
Even in a huge fleet with hundreds of warships, they could let two soldiers on different warships communicate directly.
The realization of this was also the original intention of letting Milan participate in the whole process. It was also a kind of leap in information technology.
Although there was no obvious increase in combat strength, and the strong body was just an accessory after the Transcendent transformation, their abilities in concealment, detection, and communication had been improved exponentially!
Of course, their greatest use was not in the material world, but in … the spirit world.
For Transcendents, the spirit world was a topic that they could never avoid.
Because the original source of all Transcendent powers and knowledge in this world was the spirit world!
In ancient myths and legends.
The spirit world's sun was the source of all mysterious energy, and the spirit world's sea was the final destination of all souls (doubtful, at least the kingdom of God had taken in the souls of many devout believers).
For any Sorcerer who was determined to reach the peak on the path of Transcendents, this was a treasure trove that they had to come to, as well as … a hunting ground for killing.
In the eyes of the ordinary people in the material world, hunting spirit world creatures could obtain the Transcendent knowledge hidden in their bodies and obtain the pure spiritual origin.
The sects built hidden bases and treasure troves of knowledge in it.
The special environment created countless precious materials.
Even just bathing in the spirit world's sun could increase one's spiritual power.
.....
As a Rank 2 Transcendent, an official Sorcerer was the lowest threshold to explore the spirit world. This was because only by reaching a sufficient soul strength could one resist the assimilation of another world.
After traversing between realms, one could return to the material world!
