The second part of the reward is permissions.

There are many perks that belong to the "Naval Nova", such as priority access to supplies, priority selection of reserve crew, participation in alliance-specific celebrations, and so on.

But what Ai Wen values the most is the "free passage right of ports within the alliance"!

As a rare flag within the six countries of the alliance.

Evan and his warships have unconditional access to and from the ports of the mainland, including their overseas colonies, and only need to report afterwards without any application formalities.

Also enjoy the treatment of the national battleship class.

In other words, in the future, Evan will be able to brush his face in and out of the alliance!

Although this authority seems inconspicuous, it is just a lot more convenient, but one of the biggest benefits is that everyone knows it but will never put it on the surface - warship smuggling!

In fact, smuggling with warships is nothing new, and smuggling activities with extremely high profits are a big fat meat that both civilian businessmen and the navy want to take a bite of.

Most of the time, the Admiralty also turned a blind eye to this situation, and it had the right to give benefits to the Navy.

As long as it does not affect the operation, it will generally not interfere excessively.

That's just as an ordinary captain of a country, and how much profit can the "Stormhorn" make by gaining free passage in the Alliance and its colonies?

It's immeasurable!

As long as you are diligent, it is easy to make a profit more than the shares of the previous copper mines!

The third part is the highlight of the reward, the treasure promised by the kingdom of Ilya.

In fact, almost all of the treasures announced at the beginning were treasures at the level of "Ocean Secret Treasures", and it was still easy for the wealthy Ilia royal family to come up with a few low-level "Ocean Treasures" and superb extraordinary weapons.

But in the face of those treasures with different abilities, such as the extraordinary weapon 'Scarlet Lake Light', which can greatly increase the strength of the knights, the "Ocean Treasure Catheret Bronze Cannon" bomb cyclone that can be used as a means to press the bottom of the box for battleships is no less powerful!

Ai Wen still chose this "Golden Compass" that didn't seem to have much effect without hesitation!

Many people on the sea know that the "Golden Compass" is not a secret treasure of the sea, nor is it a witchcraft creation, but a gift from the gods of the legendary "Golden Country".

In a few hundred years, the total number of known "Golden Compasses" obtained by adventurers and various forces in the entire world will not exceed 12.

It has only one function, and that is to be on the sea, no matter what the worst circumstances, can guide the ship that holds him to life!

Compared to many "Ocean Treasures" with magical abilities, this mysterious passive ability is so small that it does not even have a sense of existence, but it is a treasure in the hands of adventurers who dare to explore the unknown world.

On the surface, its abilities seem to coincide with Milan's prophecy, but it has an advantage that prophecy sorcery does not have.

That is the "absoluteness" from the occult point of view!

What is absoluteness?

Unconditional, unlimited. This is the opposite of "divination", which requires interpretation and speculation, which is often linked to probability.

Take a chestnut

A merchant ship with a deep draft and a precious cargo is in hot pursuit by a vicious pirate ship, and in front of him lies a sea of calm but reef-ridden seas.

As long as they can survive this place safely, they will be able to escape the fate of death.

If he had a "golden compass" in his hand, this treasure would be used as an anchor to escape the fate of death, plan a route, and guide a completely safe waterway for merchant ships.

Of course, the compass will not give you any lucky bonuses and assistance in this process, and it is your own ability to escape from this undoubted way of life.

If you switch to divination, you may have multiple guidelines for the purpose of survival.

For example, if you deviate from 12 compass points, there is a certain probability that you will encounter an unexpected life-saving straw if you keep sailing, if you surrender to pirates, and those who are protected by the constellation Horsehead can save their lives, if you take this water, the probability of escaping a certain route may be the greatest.

Of course, there is the biggest possibility, it's hopeless, wait for death, and say goodbye.

Where the gap is, it is clear at a glance.

However, although it is absolute, the "golden compass" is not omnipotent.

Even if it is a gift from the gods and has magical powers, it is only a compass anyway, not a god of infinite power itself.

If you're surrounded by hordes of large sea monsters, it might give you a straight upward direction.

As for whether you yourself have the ability to ascend to the heavens, it is not within the scope of its consideration

It's just that the ability of the "Golden Compass" is not the reason why Evan chose him.

Even if he never talks about it, he has always had a dream of exploring the secrets of the sea and the world. But instead of believing in the way of life guided by a "compass", he believes in his own power more!

Bang Bang –

From a fine walnut box, the golden compass, which was about the size of a pocket watch, was as good as new thanks to the gift of the gods, without any signs of wear and tear.

Turning over the gold flap engraved like a cosmic star map, under the smooth crystal plate is the scale and letter logo that are no different from a normal compass.

In the middle is a magnetic needle in the shape of an arrow, half red and half gold, which is just an ordinary compass on the shore and when there is no danger.

Obviously, the secret of the "golden compass" is not here.

Evan closed the flip and turned the compass over, revealing that the bottom of the compass was imprinted with a part of a golden city-state.

It is said that the golden city-state on the back of each "Golden Compass" is different, and scholars speculate with very limited information that it may be part of the legendary "Golden Country", the abode of the gods.

But if they were asked to find out which deity it was, no one would be able to tell.

Thereinto.

Some of the magical stories about the "Golden Compass" are widely circulated, but some of the secrets are only passed down among its owners and bearers!

In the seemingly cohesive structure at the bottom, there is actually something else.

This is a secret that very few people know, but fortunately, after Aiwen's mental power was activated, his childhood memories have been fully recovered, otherwise it is really possible to remember it clearly.

Evan pressed the case back with his thumb firmly, and after an almost impeccable sinking, he rotated it half a turn clockwise, then released it, and then rotated it counterclockwise.

Click-

The caseback, which seemed to be integrated with the compass, had popped open on its own.

Inside is a complex mechanical structure that is different from ordinary nautical compasses, with precise gears, clockwork, precious stones, and intricate tiny incantations, the precision of which is a mysterious and mechanical beauty that no one in this era can imagine.

Aiwen's attention was not here, and on the side of the inner shell, there was a line of fine handwriting written in unknown green pigment, "Galiot in the 12th year of the Haiyuan calendar".

"Hah, sure enough, it's it!"

Finally confirming the initial suspicion, Aven was once again glad that he had chosen the path of the navy, and this family inheritance treasure could be recovered.

If you choose to be a pirate at the beginning, not to mention an ordinary official knight, even if you are a third-order knight powerhouse like your sister, it is impossible to snatch this "golden compass" from the treasury of the kingdom.

After a brief moment of joy, Aven's emotions became complicated.

The joy of being lost and regained, the melancholy of seeing things and thinking about people, and the emotion of things being right and wrong, in the end, there is only a mixed feeling in the bottom of my heart.

It took a long time to clean up the emotions and reinstall the bottom cover.

Evan Mo held this "golden compass" that had been secretly passed down between the head of the family and the heir for nearly two hundred years, and the legend about it resurfaced from the bottom of his heart.

The story handed down by the Galiot family.

Their ancestor, Gallott, was an unruly civilian explorer (there is a distinction between captains, owners, and patrons, and civilians without money are not explorers).

Once drinking in a tavern, he accidentally met a mysterious person who claimed to be from the other side of the sea.

Although offshore shipping was already well developed before this, ships have undergone several revolutionary changes.

However, the first year of the Haiyuan calendar was the beginning of ocean exploration, and the symbol was that the Kingdom of Hilius took the lead in "conquering" the treasure sea and discovering the southern continent.

So at that time, the young Galott subconsciously thought that this mysterious man was from the southern continent on the other side of the Treasure Sea.

While the two were drinking, the mysterious visitor from afar heard the bitterness in the explorer's words, and very generously offered a deal.

Among them, the bargaining chip paid by the mysterious man is this "golden compass", and the price that Galliot needs to pay is not money, life, soul and other things, but a "cowardly and comfortable" heart!

However, Galiot did not take this inexplicable price to heart in the slightest.

Garlot, who aspires to be a great adventurer, feels that he has no such useless things since he went to sea, and can this ethereal mood be used as a bargaining chip?

At that time, Galiot, who was still too low in the transcendent level, didn't think much about it at all, and agreed to this seemingly cost-effective deal without hesitation.

The rest of the development is as he wished.

The "Golden Compass" helped Garot successfully explore the best route to the Treasure Sea!

As a result, the Galliot family was canonized by the Ilia royal family, and in one fell swoop became a true hereditary baronial family with forty knightly titles.

It wasn't until much later, with the rise of status and transcendence, that Galliot, who was already a baron, learned that the "Golden Compass" was a gift from the gods of the "Golden Nation".

As for where the "Golden Country" is, and what is the purpose of giving away these "golden compasses", no one can say who the other people who have the compass.

Nearly two hundred years have passed, and this "compass" of the Galliot family was lost in the night of blood and fire in the town of Blackstone, until today the compass is back in the hands of Aven, a descendant of the Galliot family.
