Elvin sat cross-legged above the 'world bridge' that had been completely connected.
Whoosh!
Feeling the wind whistling past him, he gradually let go of his body and mind, turning into an invisible energy body like the seagull sprites. The Tier 4 [Heraldic Knight] had a special vision that surpassed all seagull sprites, allowing him to easily see the vast land and the entire Golden Ocean.
"Think about the promise of the lord. Look at our Huron compatriots. A happy life is fought for by our own hands!"
"The great 'Goddess of Royalty and Navigation' is the guardian of the country and the people, protecting every sailor …"
“.....”
The plantation was once again bustling with activity, the Black Iron Cross Church's large-scale missionary work among the Shilius people, the "Father of Creation" shaman group that had become active again, and the first batch of White Sail Caravans on the distant seas during the spring season …
Looking down on the world was like looking at the lines in his palm, and wherever he looked, most of the land had changed its surname to Garriott.
The dust of the new continent gradually settled. The new Shilius vice king district and the entire Golden Ocean had completely changed hands, and Elvin had also sent elite troops to the key positions to achieve effective rule.
When the 'world bridge' was also connected, he had the throat of the entire Golden Ocean and even the new continent in his hands, becoming the true majestic tiger that sat on the land!
Because of this mere 81-kilometer canal, not only did it change the route between the Black Sea and the Shattered Star Sea, but it also shortened the sailing distance between the east and west coasts of Elvin's new territory by at least 15000 kilometers, and he no longer needed to go around the southernmost point of the new continent, Cape Horn.
For an ordinary sail ship, it would take at least two months to travel this distance even if the wind and the current were smooth. In other words, it had reduced the difficulty of ruling this land to the minimum.
Also, it was no longer limited to the pirate raids of the past, which seemed powerful but were actually small scale. Instead, warships were sent to carry out daily patrols on the main routes, cooperating with the ubiquitous [Mental Network] to openly collect 'protection fees'.
It had completely replaced the influence of the Shilius Empire in this area.
Who did not know that the largest nest of pirates on the Golden Ocean was run by them? It was impossible to make a loss in this business even if they wanted to make a loss.
To Elvin's relief, the other pirate king of the Golden Ocean, Undead Rudolph of the School of Necromancy, had also wisely given up the title of king. He led his core subordinates out of the sea and stopped fighting with them.
As for the other pirates, they didn't have to worry about not being able to survive. Elvin and Anita took the opportunity to wantonly absorb the elite pirates with good reviews and integrate them into their own naval fleet. With 10 million square kilometers of land and the corresponding territorial waters, no matter how many people they had, it would not be enough.
With this combination of fists, the security of the sea had greatly improved. It was simply a great deed.
Hmm, maybe … the "Blackwing Cult" wouldn't be that happy.
His gains did not stop at the material level.
After opening the Balvoa Isthmus according to the plan and connecting the Black Sea and the Shattered Star Sea with the "World Bridge", a large number of [World's Favor] swarmed over.
Apart from Cedric, who was a professional from the School of Mechanical Immortality, Elvin, Olivia, Angie, and his sister were the ones who handled the mapping, site selection, route determination, and later construction and operation.
According to their contribution, everyone was given a large share of [World's Favor], far more than the share they received the last time they went to the North Pole together.
For Elvin, who was the leader, if the [World's Favor] he received last time was one, then the one he received now was ten, or even more.
Although Angel and Olivia worked overtime and still couldn't catch up with Elvin and his sister's breakthrough, they were far from the end of the Transcendent path, so there was no need to worry about wasting it.
With this majestic [World's Favor], Elvin gradually sorted out the two future directions of the new profession [Heraldic Knight] — the "macroscopic world" and the "microscopic world".
After the [Exterior] was activated, the [Heraldic Knight], which had completely integrated the mind, body, and energy, already had the feeling of an Elemental School Wizard.
Currently, Elvin's state was an application of the "macroscopic world" — [Form: Weather Sprite].
Not only was it equivalent to an enhanced version of [Djinn of Storms], but it could also use the majestic "vitality magnetic field" to leverage the power of the world itself and induce large-scale meteorological disasters beyond Grade Four.
Compared to [Pseudo Authority: Position Stealer], it was more specialized and consumed less energy.
This was because there was always a huge amount of energy and all kinds of unstable factors in the atmosphere.
As long as he grasped the changing pattern of these unstable factors, under certain timing and conditions, he could use less energy to "induce" them through human intervention and guidance. A huge energy conversion would occur, causing the weather to develop in the direction Elvin expected.
[Weather Sprite] could also be said to be a human-shaped weather weapon. It was omnipotent against people, armies, and the country.
If he could expand his ability to the "microscopic world" to the atomic level, at this scale, molecular and atomic bonds were just a kind of electric attraction. As long as his control was strong enough, he could change the composition of matter at will and achieve the most magical alchemy.
However, the "microscopic world" was far more difficult than the "macroscopic world". His mental strength had also advanced to Grade Four at the same time, and he might be able to try to create things out of thin air.
At the moment, the [Heraldic Knight] and [Titled Knight] were the same as most of the transcendent paths. They were all Grade Four, and above that was the too illusory realm of God.
Among the many transcendent paths, probably only the Wizard's [Truth Concretion] could achieve the essential transformation from a human to a god step by step. For other professions to achieve this, there was a one in ten thousand chance of all kinds of unexpected factors and great luck.
Even for the Wizard, it might take countless generations of people to advance dauntlessly and painstakingly. The birth of every [Truth Concretion] was by no means a fluke.
Sitting high up in the sky.
Elvin felt the indescribable, illusory, spiritual things around his body that were crazily yearning for, and muttered to himself.
"The territory of the material world is just the surface, the transcendent power is the foundation. Gods standing at the top of the world, it's … not impossible! "
A wild ambition that he did not dare to imagine in the past, after advancing to Grade Four, grew crazily like wild grass.
.....
Faletis mainland, Saint James Palace.
Levina, who was wearing a loose floral dress, her golden-red hair was simply tied up with a hairpin, showing a hint of laziness. After dealing with the backlog of government affairs at hand, she stretched her beautiful body.
"My Grand Duke, can we make a deal? When it's just the two of us, can you change back? A 'stranger' suddenly appeared in front of me and gave me a fright. "
When her gaze inadvertently swept across the other person in the room, she quickly put down her hands to cover the infinite beauty that was exposed, and when she reacted, she could not help but grumble.
This queen lived comfortably in White Swan Castle for three months through the winter, and finally, when the affairs of the New World came to an end, she was personally sent back by Elvin.
It was only natural.
Levina immediately gathered the ministers and the great nobles in the country to hold a dukedom ceremony for Elvin. It was also the highest title that Levina could give as a king, the "Grand Duke".
Although they were still subordinate in name, in reality, they were already two kings of equal status.
In the Source Continent, whether it was a marquisate, dukedom, kingdom, or the like, the strength of a country was not necessarily related to the title of a noble. Status was all dependent on one's strength.
Just like the Tulip Dukedom, which was only a dukedom with a pitifully small territory, but because it was the core of the entire alliance's faith, its status was incomparably respected.
In the history of the continent, there were cases of powerful dukedoms suppressing kingdoms.
The Dukedom of Garrett, which was located in the New World, was not much smaller than the entire Source Continent on the west side of the "Wall of the World". Moreover, it did not exist in the form of a colony for plunder, but a real national territory that was vigorously under construction with great potential for development.
Although in terms of economy, political influence, population, culture, and so on, it was temporarily far behind Faletis, but in terms of the number of pinnacle Transcendents, it had completed the reversal.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Isn't this handsome? "
A strange magnetic voice sounded in the room.
The man who spoke was staring at a gorgeous longsword that was solemnly placed on the weapon rack. The gilded decoration formed the shape of a lion on the hilt. Not only was the golden light incomparably luxurious, but it was also filled with an indescribable supreme majesty.
He was tall and burly, close to two meters, black eyes, black hair, and fair skin with a slight bronze color. The curve of his face was far softer than the Nimanstans, and he looked a bit like the Mastizo after the Nimanstans and Atleans were mixed.
In fact, this was Elvin's "new alias" after using his appearance in his previous life as a blueprint. It was called "Thunder and Dragon" Sarkani, but his original body was far away in the New World.
Compared to the past, the [Coat of Arms Knight]'s control of electromagnetic force had increased exponentially.
As long as there was a [Mental Network], he could achieve remote control of this body. If he was not in a fierce battle, there was no problem at all for him to be distracted.
This [Eternal Shell]'s life force was majestic, and on the surface, it was no different from a normal Grade 4. When fighting against a Grade 4 opponent, he could transfer his soul at any time to obtain full combat power.
With the glorious record of killing two Grade 4 opponents, Elvin's name was already growing by the day. Even if the news of him advancing to Grade 4 spread, it was just icing on the cake.
However, after creating a new alias, he could increase the deterrence from one to two, making potential enemies even more wary of taking action. And when others focused their attention on this higher and more unfamiliar alias, it would naturally give Elvin more room to maneuver.
For the time being, keeping "him" in the capital was just to prevent the Shilius people from flipping the table and sending people to assassinate Levina. The Garriott and Faletis families were now closely connected in all aspects, and they were much more reliable than their allies in the Alliance.
More importantly, the Tulip Islands and the Shilius Empire were separated by the Lamanche Strait, which was only 240 kilometers wide. Where else could there be a better place to sit and watch the tigers fight?
As long as the benefits were big enough, it was not impossible to find an opportunity to personally take advantage of the situation.
"How dare they trick us! This time, we must make these two bastards pay the price!"
The two had already made up their minds to be qualified 'offshore balancers and continental stirrers'.
In the Frisian independence that was gradually emerging, it would be a waste of the Tulip Islands' superior terrain if they were not allowed to fight for eight to ten years and maximize the consumption of national power.
This was part of the "Disqualified Overlord Plan".
The so-called peaceful rise was simply impossible unless one controlled the war machine that suppressed the level of civilization. No one with vested interests would be satisfied. Once the peace was broken, turmoil would ensue. Of course, they had to make the other party fall into chaos first.
But for the time being, it was impossible to predict when the civil strife in Shilius would break out. They might need to stay in St. James' Palace for a while.
However.
Although that was what he said, Elvin still changed back to his original appearance.
Levina's body immediately relaxed. She glanced at the longsword in front of him and could not help but tease.
"Blessed by the goddess herself, the 'Sword of the Gilded Lion' that represents the royal power of the Six Kingdoms. Why? Do you want it? "
All the members of the royal family knew that every founding Titled Knight in the history of the Alliance had once received such an extraordinary longsword. It represented the recognition of the Goddess of Royalty and was also one of the components of the Divine Bestowal of Monarchy.
His good friend Anita had silently been promoted to a Titled Knight. Even in the Old Continent, she had fully met the conditions for an independent country.
If she had completed the promotion through the [Seven Gods Ladder] provided by the church, it would not be a problem even if she directly replaced the Ilya royal family that no longer had the protection of the kingdom. But now …
"I'm about the Seventh Kingdom of the Alliance …"
Halfway through his words, Elvin's body suddenly froze as if there was a signal lag.
And in the New Continent, the current capital of the principality, St. Elvin City.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! "
Accompanied by the sound of the bell from the Holy Mountain in the void.
A cluster of clouds that looked like a door in the sky split open. A figure with huge snow-white wings slowly descended from the sky accompanied by a brilliant golden holy light.
