Brigadier General Elvin Garriott, the captain of the Storm Horn, was a name that Olivia had heard of before.
He was the kingdom's "Rising Star of the Navy," the youngest captain of a battleship, a brigadier general with outstanding achievements, and a great contribution to the maritime industry. Regardless of whether it was in the military or in academia, all of his titles were eye-catching.
Olivia considered herself to be outstanding among her peers. She had become an official sorcerer at the mere age of seventeen, and her swordsmanship was impressive. Unlike most other sorcerers, who only had physical strength but no combat ability, Olivia had plenty of experience and knowledge.
She was also well-versed in literature, art, mathematics, etiquette, territory management, and so on. She had been praised by her teachers for everything that a noble heir needed to possess.
However, she had to admit that this young general, who was of the same age as her, had achieved far more than her despite his humble background.
Today, he had slaughtered a large group of supernatural ghouls with a wave of his hand. It was as if he had done it effortlessly.
Olivia had to admit that she was shocked by his strength.
She was an expert in marksmanship, swordsmanship, sailing, adventuring, and hunting. Apart from being shocked, she also felt an inexplicable sense of admiration for the strong.
Perhaps it was a secret emotion that even she herself had not noticed.
Compared to sorcery, that kind of power.
"Gemstone sorcery" was magnificent and exquisite, like an extremely sophisticated machine or a work of art. His power, on the other hand, was direct and domineering, like an unstoppable thunderstorm high in the sky!
Although his power was domineering, as a direct superior, he gave her an inexplicable sense of security.
She did not know if it was an illusion, but she had never met him before. His pair of black eyes gave her a faint sense of familiarity, as if they had met many times before.
Thud … thud … thud …
Her footsteps were light. Now that the crisis was over, Olivia felt much more relaxed.
She carried her luggage and followed the tall Elvin all the way to the captain's room at the stern of the ship.
Pa!
A soft but bright light came on. She instinctively observed the layout of the captain's room.
A mahogany desk and cupboard, a walnut bed, and a high-back chair inlaid with silver threads. It wasn't shabby, but it wasn't luxurious either. At the very least, it was still slightly inferior to the status of a general.
But soon, her attention was attracted by the many strange plants in the room, including the white hanging wind chimes that provided the light source. There were also some that she recognized, some that she didn't recognize, and some that she could recognize but seemed to be a mutated species.
Moreover, most of them were magical materials!
"Gu gu …"
She also saw a large snow-white owl behind a strange spider plant with a triangular oblate capsule.
At the same time, Besmir, who was resting on the shelf, tilted his head and looked at her. Then, he closed his eyes and continued to deal with the military affairs in Hatraffa.
"These things …"
At this point, Olivia realized that her understanding of the captain was still incomplete. She had to add one more title to his list of titles … Adept.
She hadn't noticed anything wrong when Elvin took out and put away the alchemy gun because she was used to this kind of thing since she also had storage equipment.
Otherwise, she would have noticed the captain's abnormality just now.
Olivia, who had been "adventuring" for a while, did not know that Elvin was not only a Adept, but also an important business partner of her father!
Bang!
At this moment, the door behind Olivia suddenly closed. She was shocked, not knowing what this powerful and mysterious captain was going to do.
Tap … tap … tap …
However, Elvin walked around him with his hands behind his back and observed him for a while with a playful expression.
Until she felt goosebumps all over her body, she even thought that the "False Face" had revealed some flaw and that she had been exposed.
But then, she heard him speak slowly.
"Mr. Rhodes, you've hidden your strength well. Your information only records the strength of an Apprentice Knight. I didn't expect you to already have an official rank! "
Elvin, who was originally a little serious, blinked at him with a look that said, "I've already discovered your little secret."
"Uh … Captain, you have good eyesight. You even found out."
Olivia heaved a sigh of relief. She had thought that this guy, whom she could not defeat, was going to do something. She had given herself a big scare for nothing.
"This time, the garrison headquarters is quite reliable. They actually sent another official Knight to my ship.
Warrant Officer, perform well. There's no need to hide.
There's no lack of battles on the Storm Horn. With the corresponding strength, a Field Officer should be able to accumulate merits very quickly.
In fact, if it weren't for the restriction of strength, all the captains on our ship would already be Field Officers. "
Although her "life force field" was concealed, Elvin, who had "Data Analyzing Vision" and a Tier 3 strength, could see the clues from her steps.
Elvin nodded with satisfaction. He was one step closer to having a lineup of Transcendent officers. This was the only good news of the day.
"Right, let me think about it.
It just so happens that you're familiar with Vader. When you get on the ship, you can learn how to sail from him. Vader may be young, but his professional ability is very good.
Rest for the night. Tomorrow, you can report to Captain Sail Cable. "
These words made Olivia a little confused.
"Calling someone over so mysteriously … That's it?"
However, a false alarm was much better than a real one. "False Face" was still a very reliable ability that was similar to a high-level transformation spell.
She only muttered a few words, saluted, and then walked out.
However, when she reached the door, she suddenly turned around and asked curiously, "Oh, right.
Captain, do you have a grudge against the ghouls of the Eliya Kingdom? "
Although Elvin's history after joining the army was widely known by the kingdom as an example, not many people knew about his history before that.
Other than a few people who had a vested interest in him, only some of the higher-ups in the Alliance knew about it.
Although Olivia's status was not low, she did not know about the grudge between Elvin and Count Wright.
"Ha, you'll know in the future. Go out and turn left. Next door is your cabin. Right belongs to the Navigator.
Don't go in the wrong way. Don't blame me for not warning you if you get beaten up. "
Elvin did not want to talk about this topic with the new crew members. He did not answer directly.
"Yes, Captain!"
Although Olivia was curious about "her" captain, she knew that she had just boarded the ship. It was best not to be too casual.
Olivia turned around and walked out of the captain's cabin. She saw her own cabin next door. She was glad that she did not have to squeeze into the cannon deck with the other sailors.
Suddenly.
Flutter.
She saw a flock of birds that were much larger than normal seagulls soaring into the air. Their bodies were white without a trace of impurities. There seemed to be a faint glow coming from the inside out of their bodies.
"That's …"
Olivia's heart skipped a beat when she saw these very familiar seagulls. Her face was filled with disbelief.
Because she already knew where that pair of familiar eyes came from!
.....
Using the image of a very friendly captain, he encouraged the new warrant officer.
Elvin took out a piece of information that was sent to him by the Chief of Staff, Major General Martin Christopher. He was lost in thought as he browsed through it.
In the kingdom's earliest royal colony, Carginia, something big happened some time ago.
It happened when he was patrolling from the south to the north as the vice commander of the garrison force.
In the colony along the Faletis route, there were four extremely serious Atrian revenge incidents in a row.
Most of the incidents happened in the evening. The people in the town gradually returned to their residences. It was also the time when the residents were the most concentrated. The methods were bloody and cruel.
Occasionally, the survivors were only lucky enough to escape because they were delayed in returning to their residences.
Moreover, what worried the governor and the garrison the most was that.
The modus operandi this time was different from all the previous native revenge incidents. In addition to the routine scalping of the victims, the natives also gouged out everyone's heart.
This was not just a revenge operation, but more like a premeditated bloody sacrifice.
This reminded Elvin of the several incidents where the evil spirits were inexplicably strengthened. Could it be related to this event?
As for the target of the crime, it was a small clan called Araucan that worshiped the totem of the great sea shark.
The good news was that in the recent attack on the pioneer town of Pavel, Major Greg, who had died heroically in the garrison force, successfully left a potion on the attacker.
Because the follow-up search and rescue personnel found a special potion bottle with the cork opened beside his body.
This potion could be sensed by specially trained animals, but humans could not smell it. It was effective for about a month. Even a bath could not wash it off.
In order to prevent any more accidents in the pioneer town, immediate action must be taken.
Because of the urgency of the matter, the garrison force also sent two hunters who were familiar with the deep environment of the continent to wait for him at his destination, Cabusher.
After Elvin memorized the information, he was about to put it away.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.
He took out a palm-sized oval-shaped leaf from his pocket. A line of small words was written on it.
"Action tonight!"
After the last time he made an appointment with Miss Moonlight Stone to explore the outside world.
Because the leaf of the hyacinth grass allowed instant communication, Elvin had been waiting for Moonlight Stone's signal.
He didn't expect her to reply that she might not arrive at a fixed time in the spirit world when she was away. That was why it had been delayed.
And today, Elvin finally received her signal for action.
With the dual assistance of the Monsoon Goddess and the Ocean Current Horn, it would take four days for the Storm Horn to travel from Cabusher to Carginia at its fastest speed.
Therefore, there was no point in being anxious. He was about to face a group of extremely ferocious enemies. It was good to increase his strength a little.
Therefore, he wrote on the leaf:
"Alright, got it!"
