The Aymore Family's Orange Leaf Castle, the library.
Although it was called a library, it was more than a thousand square meters in size. It was much bigger than the public libraries in small cities.
Moreover, there were no miscellaneous books in the collection.
There were all kinds of magic books, witchcraft manuscripts, ancient copper coins, supernatural secrets, and so on. The least valuable book was a practical reference book like the 'Encyclopedia of World Navigation'.
Of course, due to its value, only a limited number of people could enter the library.
Under normal circumstances, only the owner of the castle, Marquis Duke, Marquise Nymph, and Olivia could enter the library.
Now, the crew of the 'Storm Horn' was on holiday.
Olivia had also changed from the chubby Brigadier Rody to the tall and beautiful noble lady of the Marquis' family.
"Eh? I remember that the book that recorded the Gem School's enchantment of large-scale equipment should be here? "
Olivia tied her long hair up with a silver ribbon. She wore a loose white dress with lotus sleeves and a pair of exquisite high heels with golden butterflies on them.
She pushed a walnut ladder with pulleys up and down the rows of tall bookshelves that reached the roof.
At that moment, warm sunlight shone through the window and shone on the girl's jade-like face. It gave her a shiny golden edge. She was indescribably beautiful.
Suddenly, Olivia's sapphire-like eyes lit up.
She tiptoed on the wooden ladder and reached out with her lotus-like arm to take out a large hard-covered magic book from the top of the bookshelf.
Because of her posture, the white lotus sleeves slid down her smooth skin to her shoulders, revealing a perfectly cut diamond bracelet on her slender wrist.
Suddenly, the entire library seemed to brighten up. Nobody knew if it was because of the shiny bracelet or because of the girl's snow-white skin.
"Ah! That's great, I found it.
It's this book, 'Large-scale Relic Creation: The Art of Gem Connection'. Let me take a look … "
At that moment.
"Cough …"
The girl's hand trembled slightly as she turned around.
A graceful figure with black hair and emerald eyes, dressed in a lake-green dress, was standing quietly behind him. Her entire body was adorned with jewels just like his own.
Headbands, earrings, necklaces, rings … Everything was there.
Obviously, to them, the things they were wearing were not only beautiful ornaments, but also powerful weapons. They were as important as the swords and sabers of the knights.
"Ah! Mother, you scared me. Why didn't you make any sound when you walked? "
Olivia grumbled and patted her chest exaggeratedly. She seemed to have inadvertently pushed the book back to the table.
"Oh? No sound? I think you're too focused! Hersey (nickname) Hersey, what are you looking for? "
Tap … Tap … Tap …
As she asked her daughter, the Marchioness purposely took two steps forward to prove that her sapphire high heels made a crisp and pleasant sound when they tapped on the oak floor.
"No, Nothing. I'm just looking for books.."
"Is?"
Clap!
With a light snap of her fingers, the tome on the bookshelf floated up on its own and slowly fell into her open palms.
"Large-scale Relic Creation Relic? Hersey Hersey Hersey, Hersey Hersey, you Magic?
Couldn't he just ask his mother directly? Why did he have to look for it here? Could it be that … in your heart, your mother is no longer your strongest support? "
The young and beautiful Nymph, who looked like Olivia's older sister, showed a natural "sadness" on her face that did not show any signs of aging.
"No, it's not that I want to make one myself. I just want to help a new friend find some information on how to make a ship's bow."
Olivia hurriedly explained. Although she knew her mother's true nature, she could not bear to see such an expression on her mother's face.
"New friend? A statue at the bow of the ship?
Coincidentally … I know that there is a friend of your father's in the territory who is also preparing to make a ship's portrait. It can't be that they are the same person, right? "
The hint of sadness on the madam's face instantly dissipated. She winked at her precious daughter mischievously with her beautiful big eyes.
"You haven't been home for such a long time. Is it because you're with that friend?
Hehe, my precious daughter has really grown up and has her own secrets!
However, I think that young man is not bad. What do you think? "
The Marquise looked at her daughter with a meaningful gaze.
"Mom! What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just doing him a favor. Help! Don't make wild guesses! "
Thud —!
Like a stray cat whose tail was stepped on, Olivia jumped down from the ladder and waved her arms in protest.
Along with her movements, the golden butterfly on her crystal-clear feet that was spreading its wings like a piece of art also trembled. It was clear that the girl's emotions weren't as simple as she had said.
"Oh, so it really is that young, promising, and … very rich Commodore.
Ah, sorry, I accidentally said what was on my mind. "
Nymph raised her hand to cover her rosy lips. However, looking at the smile in her eyes, it was obvious that she did not have much sincerity.
However, seeing Olivia, who had always been like a boy since childhood, showing such a girlish expression, the Marquise knew when to stop. She chuckled softly.
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you. The section related to the ship's portrait is on page 26, paragraph 3, page 72, paragraph 1, and there's a surprise on the last page! Come on, baby! "
She handed the tome back to her daughter and clenched her fist to encourage her.
Nymph quickly turned around and left as if she was running away. Obviously, the Marquise was not only young in appearance, but also in mentality.
"What? It's like your daughter can't get married. What's with being very rich? "
Looking at her mother's back as she left, Olivia muttered in dissatisfaction.
However, her body was very honest as she flipped open the magic tome and read the paragraphs pointed out by a high-ranking wizard.
.....
Two days passed quickly.
After receiving pointers from Miss Moonlight Stone in the Spirit World, Elvin finally perfected his design plan and could not wait to turn it into reality.
The totem pole that was cut in half was brought back by Elvin.
Embedded in the top half was the crow-shaped blood stone that most likely came from a high-ranking totem god. It was sealed in a lead box by Elvin.
Together with the box containing the voodoo doll and the box containing Philip II's thistle crown, it was placed at the bottom of the magic pouch.
Then, he used a special solution to soften the wood of the totem pole (Activating Spirit Light temporarily had no effect on supernatural equipment) and reshaped it for the second time.
The ship's portrait that Elvin named [Storm Horn] was on the ship's portrait.
The base was an abstract six-eyed shark head. The top half looked like a huge shark's dorsal fin and also like a sharp horn.
From bottom to top, Elvin combined the knowledge of "Activating Spirit School" and "Alchemy School" to form a complex spell.
From afar, it looked like the shield scales on a shark.
Then, four of the best quality sapphires and two of the best quality rubies were inlaid in its six eye sockets using the jadeite technique to act as its six eyes.
This was because Elvin took Miss Moonlight Stone's suggestion to use the image of a shark as a whole to balance the internal and external energy sources. At the same time, he could also obtain another hidden benefit.
That was to "deceive" Ovig's remaining power to the greatest extent, making him think that his main body was still alive.
Then, it was similar to how a totem warrior would randomly inherit one to three spells from the Totem God after advancing to Grade 3. When the ship's portrait finally activated the spell, it would be able to solidify the most powerful abilities.
It could also be said that it was the ultimate skill outside of luck.
Elvin, who deeply understood the importance of this ship's portrait, even asked Milan to activate the ritual and divine the best time.
If it were not for the fact that he could not let others do it for him, Elvin would have asked Milan to activate [Crafty Fate] again and use his powerful luck to activate the ritual … Ahem.
However, no matter how much he tried to increase the success rate, it was finally time to activate the ritual.
The Extraordinaire officers who heard the news all rushed back.
Chief Officer Boris, Boatswain Gary, and Warrant Officer Roddy wanted to be the first to witness the birth of the ship's portrait that could allow the "Storm Horn" to become a Quasi-Legendary.
This was especially true for Olivia, who had turned back into a little fatty. As one of the technical supporters of the ship's portrait, she was probably the most nervous person in the group, second only to Elvin.
This time, it was exactly like gambling on stones. One cut for the poor, one for the rich, and one for the poor.
For this reason, Elvin specially bathed and changed his clothes. He performed a purification ritual for himself to remove all the negative aura from his body.
Then, he put on the "Lucky Talisman" that Milan provided him with unknown effects. He stood in front of the ship's portrait, took a deep breath, and solemnly chanted the final activation spell.
Acti —
The next second, under everyone's nervous and expectant gaze.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
Amidst the sound of waves, a sea blue halo exploded from the bottom of the ship's portrait, followed by a second one in the middle.
Then, when the light slowly faded …
Just when everyone thought that the Activation Ceremony was barely satisfactory, a voice suddenly rang out.
Among the three pairs of red and blue gemstone eyes on the head of the shark sculpture, a third color flashed slightly.
Pa —
Finally, the third blue halo exploded at the tip of the horn.
Elvin's heart skipped a beat. "It's done!"
Just like when a totem warrior was promoted, the more abilities he activated, the stronger he would be. There was no such thing as concentration was the essence here.
Whoosh —
When the three exploded halos slowly faded, the appearance of the ship's portrait also changed significantly.
The runes engraved on the surface of the ship had automatically disappeared, as if they had completely immersed themselves into the interior of the wood. Only beautiful patterns that resembled waves and whirlwinds were left on the surface. The entire ship looked like an exquisite wooden sculpture.
A few minutes later.
A group of people saw that Milan, who had completed the [Spiritual Detection], opened her eyes again.
They could not help but ask nervously, "How is it?"
"Oh, strong! Very strong! Maybe we need a full-scale sea test to understand the true power of this' Storm Horn '. "
