"Long sail, sail at full sail!"
In the blue sky and white clouds, a three-masted warship broke through the waves and sailed alone on the vast black sea. From time to time, various seabirds rose and fell on the warship as if it was a temporary nest.
This scene had lasted for more than half a month since the departure of the military port. The marines on the ship had long lost the novelty at the beginning and were used to it.
Today was already the third day after the sailing day celebration smoothly ended. On the way back to the Gabred military port, it was strange that only the "Silver Wing" was left of the two warships.
"Morning! Captain Elvin is feeding the seabirds again. "
On the deck of the "Silver Wing", Elvin was carrying out the daily routine of feeding and training and collecting information. A handsome young man with dark blue short hair in a captain's uniform seemed to have accidentally wandered here and greeted Elvin very warmly.
"Morning! Captain Milan is not accompanying Miss Ivina in the cabin today? "Elvin scattered the last bird food, clapped his hands and smiled back.
"Children are troublesome. Isn't it just a teddy bear that was left in the hotel? She has been making a fuss for several days." The young man curled his lips. Although he disagreed with his sister's willfulness, he was clearly the one who had been trying to make his sister laugh these days.
Needless to say, this young man with dark blue short hair was naturally our hero thief, Mr. "Zorro".
As for why they appeared on the "Silver Wing" together, it started from the celebration a few days ago.
After discovering the conspiracy of Lion Head in advance, it was unknown whether it was because of the navy's strict defense that made the mastermind retreat or there was no follow-up attack plan. A total of seven days of sailing day celebration passed very smoothly.
However.
In this calm situation, the Marines who had been waiting for a long time finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, on the day of the celebration, they received a letter from the Marine military headquarters.
The kingdom's route to the New World was attacked by a group of ferocious pirates. In just half a month, more than eight merchant ships and a guard warship had been lost.
Moreover, this group of pirates not only robbed the goods but also killed all the people on the ships. No one on the nine ships was left alive. Their methods were vicious and cruel, almost stopping the route for a time. The kingdom suffered heavy losses and the impact was extremely bad!
Finally, the warship sent to the front sent back information that this was a medium-sized fleet of at least three pirate ships. It was suspected to be the infamous "Shark Tooth" pirate group that had been active in the New World.
This pirate group was not unfamiliar to the navies of many kingdoms. The "Shark Tooth" pirate group was the nightmare of many colonies in the New World. It even made some governors of small countries to the point of "Shark Tooth". Because their main area of activity was not in the Faletis sea area, the navies had never dealt with them....
However, the navies, the navies, the navies, the navies, the navies, the navies, navies, would not allow such crazy pirates to continue to exist!
In the New World, where the naval forces were weak, it was one thing, but if they dared to provoke the Kingdom in the coastal waters, they would be completely annihilated no matter the cost.
Lighthouse Island, which was the closest to the location of the attack, had four warships participating in the celebration. Other than Vice Admiral Slater, a civilian general, who was not suitable to participate in the battle, the remaining three warships, including the "Warm Wind," were mobilized to form a joint formation to support the guard warships on the route and hunt down the "Shark Tooth" pirates together!
Of course, only the "Silver Wing," the weakest fifth-level cruiser on the surface, carried General Slater's family and their entourage back to Gabred.
Although Gör and Elvin guessed that this matter could very well have originated from the Shark Tooth pirate group's vice captain, "One-eyed Becky," who had been captured by their "Silver Wing," he had the intention to participate in the battle.
But he also knew that now was not the time to show off. For the safety of the Vice Admiral, he could only obediently obey the order and return to Gabred.
However, what Elvin did not expect was that "Zorro" found an excuse to chat with him not long after he boarded the ship, acting very familiar with him.
Although Elvin was helpless, he had no reason to avoid him. Through this, he learned of his real name, "Milan Slater."
After a few "coincidental" encounters on the deck, the two of them could be considered acquaintances.
After chatting for a while, Elvin realized that this fellow was surprisingly to his liking. He did not have the arrogant attitude of the upper echelons of this era. He was a little cynical but extremely principled. In short, he was a fellow that was not detestable.
Elvin had always believed that.
A person would only show their true self when they put on a "mask." It was just like how a cultured, normal person in his previous life would become an internet mob the moment they went online. After a few encounters with the disguised "Zorro," his overall impression was quite good.
Clearly.
The Vice Admiral subconsciously glanced at "Zorro" when he received the crossbow bolt. Others might not have noticed it, but how could it escape Elvin's digitized vision? Soon, he realized that "Zorro" was the person who fired the crossbow bolt in the dark to warn him.
He could afford a crossbow and liked to hide at night. There was no one else other than him who had good intentions towards the Navy.
Although he knew that Milan had recognized him, he did not point it out after seeing him several times. Elvin no longer rejected contact with him and treated him as an ordinary friend.
"The weather at sea should be good for the next few days. Is Lieutenant Elvin interested in fishing together?"
"Oh? Our navigator is also an expert in weather prediction. Is Lieutenant Milan also very good at this? "
As if he was tickled, Milan's face was a little proud, "Weather prediction is my strength. In the navigator competition organized by the Third Fleet, whether it is map identification, navigation, information collection, or weather prediction, I am in the top ten of the fleet in all skills. "
"Wow! Isn't that too strong?! " Elvin praised from the bottom of his heart. This was the result of the entire Third Fleet, including all the combatants of the first, second, and third level battleships. The value of gold could be imagined.
He didn't expect this guy who looked like a playboy to have this kind of ability. At such a young age, he had already surpassed most of the experienced seniors.
Capable people always made people look up to them. Only those who had drifted on the sea knew how important an excellent navigator was to a ship.
Elvin had joined the "Silver Wing" for a long time. He had stayed in all the key departments of the battleship and learned a lot of skills. Now that he met an expert, he was itching to learn, so he couldn't help but talk to Milan about navigating knowledge.
"You see, the wind and waves are not big now. Although there are many clouds in the sky, they are all cotton-like cumulus clouds. Their bottom is on the same level. When the sky is filled with clouds like this, it generally means that it won't rain. "
Milan endlessly demonstrated her knowledge to Elvin. Elvin nodded in agreement from time to time. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Milan had even forgotten that she had come to find Elvin to confirm if he had discovered the secret of the witchcraft notes.
She had originally wanted to confirm it through divination.
But after a few failed divination attempts, she was surprised to find that Elvin had quietly broken through to become an official Grade 2 Knight, exceeding the limit of her divination. She was surprised and driven by curiosity, she personally came to talk to Elvin.
Just as Milan confidently said that the weather for the next few days should be good, a white mist suddenly appeared.
In the air, wisps of white mist quietly formed, and then quickly became thicker. Soon, it reached the point where it affected the vision of the sailors. Immediately, Captain Gale's order to lower the sails and slow down was heard.
"Extend the sail! Lower the sails and reduce the speed! "
Elvin noticed that Milan's face stiffened for a moment. The slap in the face came too quickly, making him, as a listener, a little embarrassed.
He quickly mediated for her, "The weather on the sea changes too quickly. Even the Sea God can't completely control the entire sea, let alone us mortals."
"Hahaha, Captain Elvin, you said …"
Milan's voice suddenly stopped. From Elvin's point of view, she seemed to have been electrocuted and instantly twitched. Her eyes were unfocused on the spot.
One second, two seconds, three seconds …
Milan's body shook again, but it seemed that she had used up a lot of energy in just a few seconds. She was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, Elvin's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast enough to support her.
But even so, Milan still leaned on Elvin's body weakly. She was like a dehydrated fish desperately gasping for air.
"Hoo … hoo … Danger! Danger! Blood … Cannon fire … Shark … Fatal danger is approaching! "
If other people heard Milan's words, they would only be confused. They wouldn't understand what the young master was talking about, but Elvin knew that she was a real diviner. Her divination ability had already been proven when she guided him to find the Saltwater Crocodile's scale.
Now hearing her words, Jiang Liushi was shocked!
Whoosh —!
Jiang Liushi didn't care that Milan might discover his secret. With a loud whistle, a few needle-tailed swallows on the ship flew into the depths of the fog.
It was useless to guess blindly. He would know if there was danger when he saw it with his own eyes.
Looking back, Milan had already recovered, but she didn't notice the few swallows that flashed by under the violent fluctuation of her mood.
She took out a crystal ball the size of a child's fist from her pocket and saw a vast expanse of whiteness.
"Damn it!"
Without explaining to Elvin in detail, Milan rushed to the cabin. He wanted to tell the contents of the prophecy to the only person on the ship who could trust him, his father.
Otherwise, even if he told the truth, no one on the ship would believe him, and he wouldn't be able to stop the disaster from happening.
Even if most of the navies had seen some of the strangeness of the supernatural world, predicting the future was too shocking. Instead of wasting time, it was better to ask for help from the most authoritative person on the ship.
Milan's mood was extremely complicated. He had finally made the major prophecy that he had been waiting for and could fulfill the requirements for promotion. But now, he would rather not be able to break through to the second level of a prophet.
"I want to predict a crisis that will affect hundreds of lives, but I don't want to be one percent of that!"
