On the Sea of Treasures, a gentle sea breeze caressed their faces.
Snakeskin swung its long, steel-like tail. The turbulent currents gave it a strong push, propelling it all the way to the northern shore of the Sea of Treasures. However, its small, flat head above the surface of the water was as still as a reef in the sea.
A normal ship would need to travel carefully for a month and a half, but for Snakeskin, it only needed six days.
On the spacious head of the Thorn-Crown Sea Snake.
Elvin and Olivia sat across from each other at a small cherry wood table. Both of them were engrossed in writing and drawing on a piece of paper. They looked like childhood sweethearts doing homework together after school.
Perhaps … one of them was not that engrossed in their work.
Putting down the golden quill in his hand and the one-third completed ship design, Elvin rested his chin on one hand and admired the view across the table.
The girl had changed out of her military uniform and put on a long, aqua-green silk dress.
The off-shoulder design accentuated the girl's soft, round, and fair shoulders. The short sleeves were piled up with layers of white tulle, revealing her delicate, lotus-like arms. The hemline of the skirt was embroidered with silver threads and gems to form a ripple pattern, complementing the girl's temperament.
It was as if her entire body was shrouded in a layer of aqua-colored halo.
This long dress was one of the spoils of war they had obtained, the "Fairy Spring."
With the precision of his "Data Analyzing Vision", Elvin made slight adjustments to the clothes with "Revitalizing Aura". At this moment, the clothes looked especially elegant and decent on the girl. It was a feast for the eyes and never tired of looking at it.
Of course, Elvin felt that Olivia looked better in person than the master's meticulously designed dress.
Previously, he had racked his brain to design his ideal "legendary warship." Now, it was as if he was soaking in a clear spring. He felt refreshed from the inside out.
However.
Perhaps it was because he was staring at her too blatantly, Olivia could not continue writing after a while.
Putting down her half-completed [Organic Gem Cultivation Method], she held the same quill as Elvin's in one hand and pinched her slim waist with the other. She glared at Elvin with dissatisfaction.
"What are you looking at? Have you finished drawing your warship design?"
Elvin, who was nonchalant and did not sense any lethality, waved his hand and stared at the girl without blinking.
"No, there's no hurry. No matter if it's my own Magus rank, or the second or fourth scroll, I have no idea where to find them. Ship materials alone won't be enough to turn the blueprint into reality. "
The first rule of "The Secret Book of Chasing Girls": Be bold, careful, and thick-skinned. After all, a theoretical veteran is still a veteran.
"By the way, Hersey, are my feathers useful?"
Two golden feathers grew out of Elvin's body after he almost lost control of himself when he looked directly at the true body of the demigod Krukena. He did not hold back and directly installed a pen tip made of sapphire to make two quill pens.
He gave one of them to Olivia.
It was a mixture of the "Adventurer's Blood" from the Goddess of the Ocean, Thetis, and the "Golden Feather" from the Goddess of the Sky, Kurutena. It was the best writing tool for the two of them. Not only could it be used to write normal words, but it could also be used to write Spirit Texts, Witchcraft Seals, Runes, and Tactics.
"Of course it's useful. Unfortunately, there are only two of them in the world. Why don't … you sacrifice yourself again? "
Olivia blinked her beautiful sapphire-like eyes. Her gaze was already sweeping back and forth on Elvin's body. She even reached out her slender hands and began to tug at the corner of his shirt.
Until Elvin, who was defeated, hurriedly dodged and begged for mercy.
Olivia, who returned the favor, smiled disdainfully like a real old priestess.
"Hmph, coward!"
After the daily bickering, the girl who helped Elvin tidy up his clothes began to talk about business.
"Elvin, do you have an idea on the suitable host for cultivating organic gems?"
"Hmm, almost. There are a few places recorded in the" Flesh Sacrifice ". We can look for them when we return to the Old Continent …"
Currently, the cultivation of organic gems was their most important research project.
They had even expanded it into the "Standardized Gem Industry System". The significance of standardized artificial gems to the Magi was obvious just by thinking about the significance of standard caliber artillery shells to shipboard cannons.
Not only would the cost and casting difficulty be greatly reduced, but it would also create an exponential impetus for the promotion of gem witchcraft.
It was similar to the effect of papermaking on the popularization of cultural knowledge. The more members who were qualified to join the school, the stronger the school would be, and the closer they would be to the ultimate truth.
To Elvin, it might only represent wealth, but to Olivia and even the upper-level Magus Nympho, it was a major event related to the future of the Magi.
In addition, after the destruction of Dahomey, the title of "Destroyer" was automatically added to him. Receiving the Sword Sage's advice might be related to Elvin's future as a Knight.
However, he did not feel any difference from the past when he used his own body and his superior spiritual sense as a Magus. Only when he used the identity of the First Seat of the "School of Activation" to connect with the mysterious source of the "Tree of Life" through the ritual, he could feel an unfathomable power lingering around him.
That was probably the power that belonged to the 'name' that the 'Rose Sword Saint' had mentioned. It was similar to the power of faith of the gods, and it was also one of the sources of the great powers of a level four Conferred Knight.
However, Elvin's ability was not enough for the time being. He could not use this unpredictable "Name."
However, during the destruction of the nation, the Tulip Family, especially the Magi of the School of Alchemy from Faletis, had plundered a large number of books, magic books, manuscripts, and notes that recorded the unique witchcraft of the Voodoo Sect.
Elvin also made a copy of it.
And he found something very interesting in it.
At first, he did not understand the idea of the founder of the Voodoo Sect. This was an organization that appeared to be a sect, but was actually a school of Black Magi. The final creation was actually a living "God" with an independent consciousness?
Later, when he saw the collection of witchcraft books, he learned that the original Voodoo Sect was no different from the traditional beliefs of the other Anumar people. "Voodoo" meant God and Spirit.
But a hundred years ago, as a large number of slaves went to the New World and brought the belief of Voodoo with them, the "Voodoo Empress", a mixed-race Mastizo, Lavieu, established the current organizational form of the Voodoo Sect.
Then, it was sent back to the place of origin, the Kingdom of Dahomey.
This amazing Sorceress combined the concept of the "mysterious source" and the concept of "God" into one. With the help of the believers' power of faith, she accelerated the growth of the mysterious source. It could be said that she walked a special path that combined the strengths of both Sorcerers and Gods.
The effect was, of course, immediate. In just a hundred years, she had walked a path that countless Sorcerer Schools could not complete in thousands of years.
The price was that the mysterious source would inevitably have its own consciousness after being invaded by chaotic thoughts day and night.
When he saw this, Elvin had a flash of inspiration, but he could not understand it after thinking about it carefully.
But Elvin felt that this was very important. Whether it was the limitation of the mysterious source of the "School of Activation" or the promotion of the "Branded Swordsman", it could all fall on this.
He needed to invest his energy and study it carefully.
Other than that.
Elvin still had many urgent and non-urgent matters on hand.
After the destruction of the Kingdom of Dahomey, the Rose Swordmaster arranged half a year's leave for Elvin.
Firstly, he had been in the limelight during the war in the Southern Continent. He had to temporarily retreat from the frontlines to settle down and digest what he had gained.
Secondly, the promotion ceremony of a major general required Her Majesty the Queen to personally preside over it. Even the Rose Swordmaster, who was a prince and the Queen's father, was not qualified to do so.
Moreover, Elvin had been promoted from a warrant officer to a major general. As the subject of the navy's loyalty, Her Majesty the Queen had not even seen him. It was really unreasonable.
In addition.
On this trip back to the mainland, other than meeting the Queen, they also shouldered another important mission.
Not long ago, the Raging Waves Church had sent a big gift to the Tulip Family. As they had expected, they had sent an invitation to the kingdom through Elvin's communication channel and explained that they had important matters to discuss with the friendly human countries.
After all, it involved a demigod. Elvin was only responsible for conveying the message as it was.
After reporting it to the kingdom and even asking for the Black Iron Cross Church's permission, the upper echelons decided to abandon their former enmity and agree to the alliance.
Furthermore, Elvin, who had a relationship with the highest-ranking clergyman of the Raging Waves Church, was responsible for being the liaison. He evaluated the development of the situation in advance and then decided on the follow-up investment.
Never underestimate the bottom line of a politician.
Although in the process of Hipponoa's escape, he had left behind many blood debts to the Tulip Family.
But now, the two sides had the foundation of cooperation. The higher-ups understood that the Shilius people would not sit back and watch their own country rise. Of course, they had to unite all the forces that could be united and then kill them.
The Goddess of the Black Sea, who was at a disadvantage in the conflict in the Black Sea, of course, also needed a strong ally.
Both sides agreed to send representatives to meet in the city-state of the South Wind Kingdom in February next year.
It was still early now, so there was no hurry. The beginning and the end had been arranged one by one.
Before the war against Dahomey, Uncle Gör's family and the "May Wind" had already set off to return to the mainland. However, during the next garrison mission, he would apply to go to the New World. They would meet again then.
His little disciple Angel followed the "Storm Horn" back to the New World. As an official Wizard, his survival ability was greatly enhanced. Elvin was not worried about Angel's safety.
At the crucial moment, there was Minnie, the White Deer of the Heavenly Realm, and the only great albatross that had been successfully demonized with a wingspan of nearly ten meters. They were completely mobile enough.
It was a good opportunity to teach his second disciple, Calvin, and help him fill in the gaps in his knowledge.
He could also bring back the [Secret Treasure of the Sea — King Mansa Musa's Treasure Chest]. He could not go back for the time being, but as long as he had this treasure in Hatrapha Port, the safety factor would be greatly improved.
After all, even if his sister Anita became the Pirate King, it was impossible for her to run amok in the Golden Sea. At least, he could never let down his guard against Shilius.
As for the batch of treasure trees, they were still in Kaka's shadow secret storage. It was better to keep such a treasure by his side so that Elvin could rest assured. As Kaka grew, under its deliberate control, it should not be a problem to keep it for a year or so.
It was rare for him to have some free time, so he could bring Olivia, Pippi, and Kaka out for a walk.
The two of them who rode on the snake across the sea had the help of storage items and witchcraft, so it was not any less comfortable than riding on a boat.
Now that his wings were growing, taking this opportunity, Elvin was also preparing to start his dream of becoming a professional military-type explorer.
For example, starting from an unknown place that no human had ever set foot on before?
But … did he seem to have forgotten someone?
In the New World's Port of Hatrapha, the lonely snow-white owl did not notice at all. It was engrossed in processing documents.
"Working as a worker, so busy, so busy!"
