Chapter Fifty-Seven: Their Troubles

Dealing with the smuggling merchant ships did not delay them much, and the two warships arrived at Lighthouse Island on time three days later, as scheduled.

Vice Admiral Snaith and his attachés landed on the island, while the fighters on both ships remained mostly on board to form the security force of the celebration.

Aven had no interest in this kind of celebration that was more of a merchant carnival, and had been staying on the ship to meditate and practice, except for the inevitable necessary inspections, while also trying to avoid Zorro's attention.

Now he is in a state with Zorro, he knows Zorro, and Zorro knows him, he knows Zorro's true identity, but Zorro has never connected him with Captain Evan Galott.

In Ai Wen's thoughts, the two may not have any intersection in the future, and it is better to avoid it directly at the beginning than to bear the consequences of not knowing the good or bad after revealing their identities.

"After all... His dad is a lieutenant general!!"

It's not that Evan is cowardly, but who makes the big guy behind the family? can't be provoked, can't be provoked, say goodbye!

......

Over time.

Large and small boats and bustling crowds slowly converged on this small island, which is usually very deserted, and under the auspices of many chambers of commerce from all over the world, the warm-up activities for the celebration were started in advance.

Colorful flags fluttered on the island, and a makeshift theater was erected.

The grand rehearsal ceremony injects new vitality into this remote island with brightly dressed dancers, unruly artists, raunchy poets, and reporters sent by major newspapers.

Due to the large number of people with complex identities, the work of the navy sent by the three fleets to participate in the event was not easy, and they had to maintain order on the island as the official representatives of the kingdom.

Large-scale cluster events, no matter which world they are placed in, are enough to arouse the great attention of those in power!

It's just that Ai Wen, as a rare second-order official knight, doesn't have much work, and mainly acts as a mobile force to deal with problems that ordinary sailors can't handle.

"Chirp..."

Fluttering Ridge –

At this time, he was not busy with work, but he stood on the bow of the Silverwing, and waved his hand to scatter a large handful of bird food mixed with potions. Dozens of seabirds hovering in the sky flew down quickly, swift and skillful, and the bird's food was snatched up before it could fall to the surface.

These are the preliminary findings of Aven's "Bird Modification Witchcraft", after all, what bird in the vast ocean is more reliable, diverse, and unobtrusive than a seabird?

And in the selection of seabird species, Ai Wen has also put a lot of effort into it.

From the most common "white seagull" on the Black Coast to the extremely fast "pintail petrel", from the "black feather frigatebird" with both shape and speed to the largest seabird "large albatross".

After nearly a month of careful cultivation by him, although there has not been much progress in the transformation technique, they have already taken the "Bird Language Elixir" for a long time, and they are fully qualified as scouts.

Listening to their chirping, Evan's heart has automatically translated the "code" of the seabirds' hearts. Invalid information is eliminated directly, and valuable information is gathered and processed quickly.

Two more merchant ships have just arrived... The drinks for the celebration have been stocked... The two opera troupes are fighting over who is more famous, and there are already sailors who have gone to deal with it... Wait a minute.

With the end of the feeding, Aven's intelligence gathering also came to an end.

"Another day of peace. ”

The seabirds' modifications are still very primitive, although they can automatically collect intelligence, but they are like drones that only have Bluetooth transmission functions, and can only be recorded with their very touching brain capacity, and then handed over to Evan for analysis and processing.

And they themselves simply can't prioritize and understand the implications.

In Aiwen's vision, in the future, a "central processing bird" should be specially trained as a "base station", which will be responsible for processing the information collected by the birds, and even help command the battle after the seabird unit is trained and matured in the future.

Like the crow swarm commanded by the crow ghost woman before, it doesn't know anything but a swarm of suicide attacks, and I'm really sorry for this witchcraft with great potential.

Only at that time can this "Seabird Army" become a real supplement to the combat effectiveness of Aven's hands as a hole card.

However, it is still too early to say this, and the reason why Ai Wen brought out all the hundreds of seabirds he had accumulated this time was to sum up his experience in continuous use, and then prepare for continuous improvement in the future.

Turning ideas into reality was a daunting challenge for Aven.

While Evan was struggling with his seabird breeding plan, Mr. Zorro on the other side was also in some kind of trouble.

Unlike Aven, who lived on a warship, Zorro was placed in one of the best hotels on the island as soon as he landed, with a luxurious private suite.

Sitting behind a carved desk made of cherry wood, Zorro stared at the crystal ball on the table, which was glowing white.

As an apprentice-level prophetic school wizard, he has long been able to skillfully apply the tarot card divination and spiritual number divination that the first-order "soothsayer" of his transcendent path should master.

But there is still a big mountain in front of him to cross, and that is the "crystal ball divination" that uses his own spirituality to resonate with the crystal ball for divination.

The "Crystal Ball Divination", which is known as the most difficult apprentice-level, is very effective in predicting large-scale events and finding people and objects, but it has made him stuck for a whole year.

It's not that he can't use this divination. As early as when he practiced divination as a soothsayer in the "Raven Bazaar", he was already proficient in it, and he had successfully predicted the whereabouts of the saltwater crocodile for Aven.

His current dilemma was that as part of the promotion ceremony, only by successfully completing a prophecy that would affect the life and death of a human being of several hundred or more people, or an event of equal influence, could he satisfy the prerequisites for becoming a second-order official wizard "prophet".

This is also the original intention of him to change his usual style of hiding himself as much as possible (such as: dressing up as "Zorro" to steal?), and took the initiative to run out to participate in the celebration to expose himself, trying to participate in the big event.

At this time.

In Zorro's eyes, the clouds of light and ribbons fluttering in the crystal ball have different meanings in his eyes. From time to time, fragments of images or sounds slipped through his spirituality of mutual sympathy with the crystal ball.

Now he is not prophesying, but using the unique witchcraft of the prophecy school to monitor Lighthouse Island to see if there is a cause of turmoil, so that he can give himself a chance. Unfortunately, like Aven's seabirds, he has not gained much since he landed on the island.

"Ahh Yes... Am I really not gifted as a prophet?"

After a long clue, "Zorro" spread his limbs and sat on a chair like a waste meow with some self-defeat.

looks like he has been played by fate and is no longer able to resist.....
