The turmoil on the world stage hadn't spread to the New World for the time being. Elvin was still focused on his own life and quietly accumulating his wealth.
Buffalo, Saint Elvin City.
The crowd formed a long line in the small square. Although the Nimansts were the majority in this line, there were also a large number of Hurons who had already obtained the status of freedmen.
Psst!
Blood spurted out. A middle-aged doctor working in the territory's medical system put down the forked tip of the blade and skillfully applied the already treated vaccinia solution on the bleeding wound. The vaccination was complete.
"Thank you, doctor! Thank you, Saint Elvin, for your kindness! "
The vaccinated person got up and changed to the next person. With the help of the police in their new uniforms, the vaccinia vaccination project was orderly.
If a new thing like the "vaccine" was put in other places, it would be extremely difficult to promote, and it was very likely that it would be treated as a fraud. However, with Elvin's influence there, it was very easy to carry out.
If emotions could be quantified, the people who had been ravaged by smallpox would be + 1, + 1, + 1 …
Now.
In all three territories of the Garriott and Aymore Principalities, the household registration system no longer registered ethnic origins. Only people from the Far Sail Territory, Georgia, or Buffalo were registered.
In the territory, the Nimansts' faith belonged to the "Goddess of Royalty and Navigation", Hekatele, while the Atreans' faith belonged to the "Father of Creation", constantly contributing to the realization of the mysterious source of the "School of Activation".
Elvin's strategy was to assimilate these incorporated Hurons through faith, culture, customs, and lifestyle, using peaceful means to complete ethnic integration.
Moreover, the two sides had been in contact with each other for decades before this, and the gap was far from the level of modern civilization and primitive people. With the upper echelons all compromised, there was not much resistance to complete integration.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, an illusory Griffin swooped down from the sky and landed lightly on a bell tower near the square. The Griffin dissipated and turned into a golden soulfire that flowed into a shining necklace made of animal teeth, revealing the tall and beautiful Huron Princess Apsuya, who was wearing a long dress and was dressed in a graceful long dress.
The girl stared blankly at the many familiar faces below who were being vaccinated for vaccinia. After a long time, she sighed softly.
"It's already … very good."
At this moment, a pair of arms wrapped around the girl's slender and powerful waist from behind, allowing her to gently lean against a chest that wasn't too thick but was reliable enough. His chin was placed on her head.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"Well, it's not that. I'm just a little … at a loss."
Apsuya didn't move. Although she was a little disappointed at first, her goal since young was to protect her tribe and her people. But under the increasing pressure of survival in the new continent, that hope was becoming more and more uncertain.
She even had nightmares that if the situation on the continent continued to deteriorate, would there be a day when she would have to face Milan on the battlefield? Now that he had unloaded the heavy burden on his body, he was finally free.
As it turned out, Elvin was indeed much more reliable than Graham, the former "Spirit of the Giant Bear". This could be seen from the most basic medical skills.
However …
Apsuya turned around and looked at Milan, who was wearing a white shirt, and the "Daedalus Hound" that was circling around their feet. She smiled and pointed at the police force on duty below.
"Our esteemed Marquis isn't someone who is content with the status quo."
Taking advantage of the fact that he had recruited a large number of outstanding warriors and was financially well-off, Elvin took advantage of the opportunity to conduct a large-scale recruitment and set up a new military system.
It wasn't because he was about to go to war, but because he deeply understood that war was bound to perish! Forgetting to fight was bound to be dangerous!
The establishment of three forces — sea, land, and air — was under the overall command of the Marquis Defense Command, and he was personally the commander-in-chief of the three forces.
As for the air force, the newly established Air Knight Unit was already in the ranks. Even though there weren't many griffins, he gave one to Apsuya as a gift.
He didn't choose a ready-made pegasus purely because he didn't want to provoke the Church of Dawn too much.
Although he didn't know if there was a natural mythical creature like the "griffins" in this world, the biological splicing technology was not difficult for the master and apprentice who had gradually opened up a new world.
One of the direct descendants of his sister, Jeraldine, who had beautiful chestnut-colored hair, was the first commander of the "Air Knight Unit".
As for the army, based on the garrison forces supported by the colonial local finances, three violent groups were separated: the elite army, the police force, and the most critical new combat department, the "Tax Collection Department of the Marquis Revenue" (no one could evade taxes).
The military commanders of the three forces were Robert, "Iron Bone" William, and the Horned Sharkman Baldwin. They were all powerful Transcendents at the peak of Grade 2.
The total number of people reached 22,000. At the same time, every adult male in the territory had to receive the necessary military training and could form a militia at critical moments.
As for the navy, the "Dragon Cavalry Privateer Fleet" had been transformed into the only non-kingdom navy force in the entire Faletis colony.
Under the framework of the kingdom's system, this kind of behavior was not out of line. Previously, the Amor family and the Ford family did not form a navy purely because the territory's output could not support the money-burning navy.
When it came to Elvin, not only did he not have to burn money, he could even make money. It was just that the profitability of plundering was less and less in Elvin's eyes as the various industries in the territory took shape. It was still a good way to train the troops.
At this moment, the total number of elite navy soldiers had exceeded 6,000.
With the heavy-armored cruiser "Morning Star" as the lead, a Grade 4 battleship "Conviction" as the secondary (captured during the war against the rebels, Chapter 586), the second echelon was made up of four Grade 5 warships, six armed merchant ships of the same grade, and a total of more than 30 "Brigantine" two-masted mixed sailing ships.
The total displacement was 18,000 tons.
In the various forces of the sea, land, and air forces, apart from the skinned men and a large number of "flesh puppets" of various models, the total number of Grade 2 Transcendents had long exceeded four digits.
Not counting the wizards and high-end combat forces, just this conventional force of the sea, land, and air forces was enough to firmly set off a large-scale national war. In the entire Tulip Alliance's garrison, the troops under Elvin's command were undoubtedly the number one!
Milan smiled and did not reply.
He did not know about the rest, but according to the information sent back from the mainland, the religious reformation on the continent was gradually coming to an end. Shilius, who had been quiet for a few years, might gradually make some small moves. It was better to be prepared.
However, he avoided the topic and whispered something even more important into the girl's ear.
"Suya, are you free now? That … My father wants to see you. "
"Eh?!"
The native girl, who was like a female leopard, suddenly widened her clear eyes.
.....
A debate had been going on in the Waterfall Hill Wizard Tower for a few months.
Some time ago, after Elvin had studied Jacob and Calvin's report, he had put forward his own guidance from a strategically advantageous position. After a few months of constant revision, they finally came up with a basic version of the "Tree of Life" and the "Theory of Evolution"!
Although it had not been officially announced to the outside world, it had already caused a huge storm within the "Tree of Life School".
In the territory, whether it was the "School of Activation" or the various foreign wizards, including the "School of Vissari" Dr. Taylor, the "School of Mechanical Immortality" led by Chief Cedric, and the Master Potion Master Leon who had returned to the appearance of a middle-aged man, all participated in the debate.
It was only because they were inextricably linked to the field of biology that they could better understand the great power contained in these two theories.
The "Tree of Life" was a set of theories that classified different organisms based on the degree of differences in their traits and the distance of their relationships. At the macroscopic level of the entire biosphere, the "Tree of Life" was used to link the "blood relationship" of plants, animals, and bacteria.
In the first version of the graph drawn by Jacob for the first time, thousands of organisms were arranged in a whole tree according to seven levels: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.
It was foreseeable that almost no species, including elemental creatures, could be separated from this small tree.
It had also become one of the most important structural principles in biology, providing a realistic supplement to Elvin's theory, which was of great significance to the concept of the "Tree of Life".
Based on the relationship between organisms discovered by the "Tree of Life", Calvin also put forward his own theories — "Theory of Evolution" and "Natural Selection". Outside of the mainstream "Theory of Creation", it provided a strong support for the "Theory of Evolution".
There were two core ideas: First, species were changeable, and organisms evolved; second, natural selection was the driving force of biological evolution.
From a dozen species of singing sparrows living on an isolated island, he was very keenly aware that the common sparrows in the New World had evolved into more than a dozen different species of singing sparrows in order to adapt to different living environments.
It was inferred that all the singing sparrows in the world most likely came from a common ancestor.
Based on this reasoning, Calvin looked at the "Tree of Life" and finally concluded that all the organisms on Earth had a common ancestor.
This was also one of the important theories in his theory of evolution: the Theory of Common Origin.
During this period, he did not refute the "Theory of Creation", but extended it on the basis of Elvin's theory, proving that the structure of ancient organisms was simpler than the current structure.
He believed that all the organisms living in the world were likely to be continuously derived from one or a few primitive types. After the "Original One" was created, after generations of natural selection, adaptability gradually accumulated, and eventually led to the creation of various new species.
This theory was also the most controversial part among the official wizards.
However.
Controversy was controversy, but [World's Favor] could not be faked.
Strictly speaking, Calvin's aptitude was not outstanding, at least far inferior to Angel, who had extraordinary talent. Moreover, before meeting Elvin, he was suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease.
But not long after he proposed this theory, without holding any ceremony and without his spirit value reaching the standard, he was promoted to an official wizard, and once again regained the dignity of the second senior brother.
The doubts were dispelled!
Even if the theory was not perfect, the direction should not be wrong.
Previously, after Elvin completed the exploration of the North Pole and obtained [World's Favor] for the first time, he felt that the opening of human eyes and gradually understanding the world could be a part of the great voyage.
Now, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
The powerful [World's Favor] was a jack-of-all-trades ability. If Elvin wanted to find the path for the [Branded Swordsman] to advance to rank 4 in the shortest time possible without any side effects, he would definitely need this ability.
"It seems that if I want to advance the [Branded Swordsman] to rank 4, I will have to make a trip to the Shattered Star Sea as soon as possible."
It had been such a long time since he got the [Ancient Scroll, Ocean Treasure], and now that he had a real need, Elvin finally made up his mind to explore the 'Shattered Star Sea'.
Coincidentally.
He gently put down the spiritual world message in his hand, revealing the words on the paper.
It was the Archbishop of the "Raging Waves Church", Fisher, who wanted him to head to the underwater city of Herakleyan to receive the [Legendary Warship – Sea Spirit].
