Whoosh —
The west coast of the Black Sea.
With the help of the northeast trade winds, a fourth-level battleship flying the blue flag of Faletis from afar was flying at full speed towards the kingdom's naval station in the New World, Dearborn Fort.
This was also the usual process of the New World garrison mission. First, they would escort the ocean-going merchant ships from the mainland to Thomstown, the first royal colony established by the kingdom in the New World.
Then, they would go to Fort George, the northernmost naval base, and Dearborn Fort, the southernmost naval base.
The fleet that arrived in August was also the first large-scale fleet of this autumn season.
In the captain's room of the battleship.
"I can't remember the last time I came to the New World for a mission. Was it eight or nine years ago?
Although I started from scratch, the development of the colonies here is simply changing day by day. It's just different on the mainland.
If Hymer back then … Sigh, forget it. Let's not talk about him. "
Looking at the strange yet familiar scenery on the mainland outside the porthole, First Mate Perry could not help but feel emotional. After being punished and removed from the battleship fleet, he never thought that there would be a day when he would return to this magical land.
Without a doubt, this battleship was Gör's "May Wind".
"I'll make up for the mistakes I made in the past with my own hands.
Fortunately, after the battle with Shilius last year, Chris finally grew up and successfully became an official Knight at the age of 35. All these years of hard training were not in vain. "
After reaching Tier 3, Gör no longer cared about Hymer, a mere Tier 2 "banished prisoner" who defected. Instead, he felt a little gratified when he looked at Chris, the boatswain who had followed him for many years.
"Heh heh heh, Captain, compared to Elantra, what are my achievements?
He's a genius who completed the Transcendent transformation at the age of 16, just a little later than General Elvin. When he graduates from the Royal Naval Academy, he'll soar into the sky. Captain, you have a successor. "
Chris smiled. He had exhausted his potential. However, Ilante, who still had two years of study in the Royal Naval Academy, was already one of the best among his peers. In the future, there might be hope for him to reach Tier 3 like Gör.
"Hahaha …"
These words scratched Gör's itch, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily. Becoming a Brigadier General, advancing to the third rank, and receiving a commendation from Her Majesty at the beginning of the year were not as delightful as Ilante becoming an official Knight.
Of course, he was very clear that all of this was inseparable from one person's silent contribution.
Just as they were chatting happily.
Suddenly.
"Click, click, click …"
All of a sudden, a strange sound came from Gör's bosom. Knowing what that sound meant, the three people in the captain's cabin couldn't help but change their expressions.
He quickly took out the "Sea Monster Pointer" that looked like a silver pocket watch. In the middle of the complicated mechanical dial, an emerald pointer slowly turned with continuous clicking sounds before it finally stopped at eight o 'clock.
"We've just arrived at a new continent and we've already encountered a sea monster? Sound the alarm and prepare the Song of the Siren! "
Without hesitation, he activated the power of the "Tree of Life Totem Warrior". With a flash of lightning under Gör's feet, he took the lead and rushed out.
Whoosh!
At the rear left of the battleship.
Under the water, a huge black shadow that was more than fifty meters long was in front of them. Apart from the white sail, a Brigantine two-masted mixed sailboat that was entirely dark green in color glided across the water surface and automatically lined up with the "May Wind."
A young general with his arms crossed in front of his chest stood alone at the bow of the ship. He turned his head to look at the battleship.
Gör, who had flown to the ship's bow, saw the person who came. The solemn expression on his face instantly dissipated and quietly turned into a mischievous one.
Pa!
The heels of his military boots collided, and he was the first to salute.
"Major-General! Gör Kauper is here to report for duty in the new continent! "
The tall young general returned the salute solemnly.
"Welcome, Brigadier General Gör!"
Then, the two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
First Mate Perry and Boatswain Chris who were following closely behind Gör looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes was replaced by … disdain. 'These two are too much.'
It was then that they noticed that Elvin was the only one on this strange looking ship. There were no other crew members. However, they also knew that this could be a wizard's trick, so they did not ask much and just clicked their tongues in wonder.
In fact, this was the first time this mixed sailboat equipped with the "Animated Battleship Suit" went out to sea. And Elvin's purpose was not as simple as just welcoming Gör.
Inspired by the "Venom" on the Wizard Tower, Mydora's mushroom humanoid was combined with the "Venom", and the "Venom" Animated Battleship Suit that possessed intelligence was easily realized.
It replaced all the sailors and could sail the ship alone. It also integrated a series of very useful auxiliary functions such as automatic cruising, water extraction, decomposing organic matter into edible mushrooms, and so on.
Not only did it reduce the resistance of the seawater by a large margin, the protective effect of the hull was even better than copper. Any maggots that wanted to attach themselves to the bottom of the ship would only become food for the "Venom".
Suddenly, Elvin's ears twitched as if he had received a signal.
"Eh, what a coincidence."
* Whoosh whoosh whoosh … *
Turning around to look at the sea outside the ship, a large whirlpool appeared on the left side of the ship without warning.
Without hesitation, under the puzzled gaze of the people on the "May Wind", Elvin took out a dozen heavy wooden boxes from the [Shadow Secret Storehouse] and threw them one by one into the whirlpool that appeared in front of him.
A moment later, a large wooden box filled with all kinds of precious witchcraft materials was carried onto the ship by the waves. There was also a precious item that Elvin had specially requested for, the "Gem Star".
After checking, Elvin whistled softly. He was more and more satisfied with the "Raging Waves Church" as a big customer. With these things and the timely arrival of Uncle Gör, the next step of the plan that he had been planning for a long time could be officially launched.
Under the waves.
A group of sea spirits, which were riding sea monsters, also confirmed the Military Fire's quality, then they smiled and waved at Elvin to bid him farewell. Some daring ones even jumped out of the water to show off their hot bodies and blew him a kiss in front of everyone.
For creatures like the Sirens, a handsome sailor was an irresistible temptation. However, stopping at this level was already the best they could do to restrain themselves. Elvin didn't mind it at all.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to pay.
Even if General Elvin accompanied the sirens to chat with them for 50,000 Gold Lions, it would not be a problem at all! Most importantly, Miss Olivia would also think that it would not be a problem …
After bidding farewell to the beautiful creatures, Elvin turned around and waved at the "May Wind" people who were stunned.
"Uncle, I've already greeted Lieutenant General Gustav. Let's go, shall we have a drink in the Georgia Territory? "
.....
It was still at the High Cliff Castle, the headquarters of the Mechanical Immortality School of Thought.
The evil alchemist did not expect that after receiving the news from Camsid, the Fog of Order had already sent an emissary to the school before he could even take action.
At this moment.
A man in a grayish-white leather robe did not wear the iconic animal skull. His head was pale but at least had the outline of a human.
Four gradually symmetrical green eyes stared at the group of official Magi who had the right to decide the fate of the school. Through telepathy, it spoke.
"Honorable wizards, I come with the grace of God.
The maker of the just rules, the great God of Labyrinth, has just awakened from his slumber. He has set his sights on the humans who are struggling in the mortal world.
As a generous god, he is willing to share his glory with the puny humans.
Since your pursuit is' immortality ', why do you care if you obtain immortality through witchcraft or divine arts? "
The last time the God of Labyrinth, Aihort, and his followers were able to go to the New World, they relied on the nobles of the Kumar Empire who were full of desire for 'immortality'. They had cruelly sacrificed at least ten thousand prisoners of war.
That was not all. They did not even count the main god of the Kumar people, the feathered serpent god, Kukulkan.
Now, the situation was very different.
The descendant of blasphemy, Bradley, who could descend into the sun, had occupied the first city on the New World, Camsid, and established a stable faith to worship Aihort. It also provided an anchor point for the God of Labyrinth to extend his tentacles to the New World.
In less than two months, the "Blasphemous Cultists" who had been transformed from the nobles of the Kumar Empire could now openly return to the New Continent. Perhaps in a year or so, some of the twisted monsters in the Fog Sea would be able to come to the coastal waters.
With the gradual expansion of faith, core followers like the Azure Beast and even Aihort's main body, who had begun to transform with the help of his new clergy, would have a chance to return to the mainland.
Whoosh …
There was a slight commotion among the official wizards in the hall.
It had to be said that the words of this' blasphemy believer 'were very provocative. It put Cedric, the chief of the school, in a difficult position.
Even if it was a group of wizards who claimed to pursue the truth, it was not impossible for them to cooperate with the gods. The so-called 'truth' was always just a means. The wish behind the mysterious source was the essence.
The most fundamental wish of the 'Mechanical Immortality School' was, of course, immortality!
This was the biggest basis for cooperation.
If the 'Poison School' could cooperate with Lady Crow, it was not impossible for the evil alchemists to join Aihort. In terms of the power that could be used on the New World, Aihort, who was a demigod, might not even be comparable to the Grade 4 totem god, Lady Crow, who had completed the 'Transcendence of Faith'.
As for the appearance of the 'blasphemy believer' who had begun to transform into a normal human's aesthetic, it was completely secondary. He was not even prepared to be a human, so he naturally did not mind becoming a monster.
Moreover, this emissary had proven that he had indeed survived from the era of the Kumar Empire more than two hundred years ago until now. 'Immortality' was not an illusion that could be used to quench one's thirst.
Therefore, the chief of the school, Cedric, who had considered the matter the most, could only say after some deliberation.
"Sir Emissary, please allow us to discuss before giving you an answer, is that alright?"
"Alright, I hope that I can hear good news from you the next time I come. You must know that the gods possess more than generosity and benevolence. "
This blasphemy believer could see that many of the official Sorcerers were already somewhat moved. Who could resist the temptation of immortality?
The door closed once again.
With no outsiders around, the official Sorcerers began to divide into two factions and fiercely argued.
Even the three leaders could not come to a consensus.
In fact, looking at the pursuit of 'immortality', it was obvious that most of the members of this school were not outstanding figures. This was because in the orthodox path, the higher the level of the extraordinary, the longer the lifespan.
As long as one could reach the realm of a Grade 3 Upper Sorcerer, the natural lifespan of a Sorcerer would surpass that of a Grade 4 Titled Sorcerer. They would truly have the qualifications to 'retire with the country and grow old with the sky'. Perhaps there were many countries that did not have as long lifespans as the great Sorcerers, not to mention Grade 4 Crown Sorcerers or even 'Truth Manifestation'.
The three major branches of orthodox Alchemy were 'Potionology', 'Alchemy Instrument and Enchantment Engineering', and 'Runology'.
The corresponding mysterious source and Ultimate Knowledge were respectively:
[Elixir of Immortality]: The most direct means of immortality.
[Hephaestus Cube]: A super integrated production line that can create all kinds of powerful alchemy instruments from ancient times to the present. It is the 'industrial machine' in Alchemy.
[Steam Titan]: The representation of power, comparable to the gods.
The evil Alchemists were originally a branch of 'Runology'. However, in the later stages of the split, there were major deviations in terms of ideology, witchcraft, and even the preset supernatural source.
The fundamental knowledge of this' Mechanical Immortality School 'was' Runology 'and' Flesh Modification '.
Because there was only the second volume of 'Flesh Sacrifice', although they did not know that the 'Tree of Life School' had a fifth volume, 'Creator's Blood', it did not prevent them from developing a development path that understood the body and then abandoned it.
They abandoned the original branch of Runology, [Steam Titan], and set up a new Ultimate Knowledge, [Intelligent Machinery Template]:
Through it, the official Sorcerers of the school could transform into an amalgamation of thoughts, energy, and information. They could freely switch bodies among various constructs and achieve spiritual immortality.
So.
It was not easy to choose whether to continue to plant fruit trees and wait for them to bear fruit or eat the dried sweet potatoes given by others.
Most of the people in the 'Mechanical Immortality School' had worked hard for their dreams their whole lives. The decision to completely abandon and change their school was too heavy.
Moreover, even the apprentices would not be naive enough to think that there would be a day when they would leave the 'Fog of Order' after joining it.
"Perhaps, as the first step of the early cooperation, we can open up some of the quotas and let the volunteers try it out first? Who knows, maybe when they have enough lifespan, they can really materialize the [Intelligent Machinery Template] in the future and return to the right path of Sorcerers? "
Someone said softly, and the eyes of most of the Sorcerers instantly lit up.
