Dealing with the smuggled merchant ships did not take up too much of their time. The two warships followed the scheduled route and arrived at Lighthouse Island three days later.
Lieutenant General Snyder and his entourage boarded the island while most of the combat personnel on the two warships remained on the ship to form the security force for the celebration.
Elvin had no interest in this kind of celebration that was more of a merchant's carnival. Other than the inevitable patrol work, he stayed on the ship to meditate and cultivate. At the same time, he tried his best to avoid the attention of "Zorro".
His current situation with "Zorro" was that he knew "Zorro" and "Zorro" knew him. He knew the true identity of "Zorro", but "Zorro" did not associate him with the navy captain named Elvin Garriott.
In Elvin's mind, the two of them might not have any interactions in the future. Rather than bear the consequences of exposing his identity, it was better to avoid him from the beginning.
"After all … his father is a lieutenant general!"
It was not that Elvin was a coward, but who asked him to have a big boss behind him? "I can't afford to offend him, I can't afford to offend him. Goodbye!"
.....
As time passed.
Ships of all sizes and bustling crowds slowly gathered on this small island that was usually very deserted. Under the auspices of many chambers of commerce that came from all over the world, the warm-up activities for the celebration began in advance.
Colorful flags fluttered on the island as a temporary theater was built.
In the grand rehearsal ceremony, there were gorgeously dressed dancers, unruly artists, slovenly poets, and reporters sent by major newspapers. All kinds of activities injected new vitality into this remote island.
Because of the large number of people with complicated identities, the navy sent by the three major fleets to participate in the event did not have an easy time. As the official representatives of the kingdom, they also had to maintain order on the island.
A large-scale gathering of people was enough to attract the attention of the authorities no matter which world it was in!
However, Elvin, as one of the rare Tier 2 official Knights, did not have much work to do. He was mainly used as a mobile force to deal with problems that ordinary soldiers could not handle.
"Chirp chirp chirp …"
"Flutter!"
At this time, he, who was busy with work, stood at the bow of the Silver Wing and waved his hand to throw out a large amount of bird food mixed with magic potions. The dozens of seabirds circling in the sky quickly swooped down. Their movements were swift and skillful, and the bird food was all snatched away before it fell into the sea.
These were the preliminary results of Elvin's "Bird Modification Witchcraft". After all, in the vast sea, what birds were more reliable, diverse, and inconspicuous than seabirds?
Moreover, Elvin had also put in a lot of effort in choosing the seabirds.
From the most common "White Seagull" on the Black Sea Coast to the extremely fast "Pintail Petrel", from the "Black-feathered Frigate Bird" that had both size and speed to the "Great Albatross", the largest seabird, although there were not many species, they all had their own characteristics.
After nearly a month of careful cultivation, although there was not much progress in the modification technique, they had already taken the "Bird Language Potion" for a long time and were completely qualified to be scouts.
Listening to their chatter, Elvin's heart had automatically translated the mental "password" of the seabirds. Invalid information was directly removed, while valuable information was collected and quickly processed.
Just now, two more merchant ships had arrived at the port … The wine for the celebration had been completely stored … Two opera troupes were arguing about who was more famous, and there were already marines on the way to deal with it …
After the feeding was over, Elvin's intelligence gathering work also came to an end.
"It's another peaceful day."
The modification of the seabirds was still very primitive. Although they could automatically collect intelligence, they were like drones that only had Bluetooth transmission function. They could only use their very limited brain capacity to record the information and then hand it over to Elvin for analysis and processing.
And they could not even differentiate between priorities and could not understand the meaning behind it.
In Elvin's vision, in the future, he should specially cultivate a "Central Processing Bird" as a "Base Station" to be responsible for processing the information collected by the seabirds. When the seabird army matured, it could even help to command the battle.
Just like the crows commanded by the Ghost Crow Nanny before, they did not know anything other than a swarm of suicidal attacks. It was really a waste of this witchcraft with great potential.
Only then could this "Seabird Army" become a true trump card in Elvin's hands that could supplement his combat strength.
However, it was still too early to talk about this. The reason why Elvin brought out all the hundreds of seabirds that he had accumulated this time was to accumulate experience through continuous use and then make preparations for continuous improvement in the future.
And how to turn ideas into reality was also a difficult challenge for Elvin.
While Elvin was thinking hard about his plan to cultivate the seabirds, on the other side, Mr. "Zorro" was also in some kind of trouble.
Unlike Elvin who stayed on the warship, "Zorro" was arranged to stay in the best hotel on the island as soon as he came ashore. He had a private suite that could be considered luxurious.
Sitting behind a cherry-wood carved desk, "Zorro" stared at the crystal ball on the table that was emitting a faint white light.
As an acolyte of the School of Divination, he was already proficient in using the Tarot Card Divination and Spirit Number Divination that he should have mastered in the first rank of the Beyonder path.
However, there was still a large mountain that he had to cross in front of him. That was the "Crystal Ball Divination" that used his own spirituality to resonate with the crystal ball.
The "Crystal Ball Divination" that was known to be the most difficult of acolytes was very effective in predicting large-scale events and finding people and objects. However, he had been stuck for an entire year.
It was not that he was unable to use this type of divination. Back when he was practicing divination as a "Crow Bazaar" diviner, he was already proficient in it and had even successfully predicted the whereabouts of the Saltwater Crocodile for Elvin.
His current predicament was that as part of the advancement ceremony, he had to successfully complete a prophecy that affected the lives and deaths of hundreds of people, or an event that had the same influence. Only then would he be able to fulfill the prerequisite of becoming a rank 2 official Magus, "Prophet".
This was also why he had done his best to hide himself (for example, disguising himself as "Zorro" to steal?) His style of doing things, taking the initiative to participate in the celebration to expose himself, and his original intention of participating in a major event.
At this moment.
In "Zorro's" eyes, the light clouds and ribbons floating in the crystal ball had different meanings in his eyes. From time to time, there would be some images or sound fragments that would flash across his spirituality that resonated with the crystal ball.
Now, he was not making a prophecy. Instead, he was using the unique witchcraft of the School of Divination to monitor Lighthouse Island to see if there was any unrest in Miao Yin that could give him a chance. Unfortunately, just like Elvin's seabirds, he had not gained anything since he landed on the island.
"Ah … Ah … Could it be that I really don't have the talent to be a Prophet?"
Having no clue for a long time, "Zorro" opened his limbs and sat on the chair like a useless cat in despair.
He looked as if he had been toyed with by fate and could no longer resist …
