Chapter 411: Operation Tonight
The name of Commodore Evan Gariot, the captain of the battleship "Cape Storm", is certainly thunderous to Olivia.
The kingdom's "rising star", the youngest captain of a battleship, a decorated brigadier general, a contribution to the seafaring industry... Whether it is a title in the military or academically, it is eye-catching enough.
Although Olivia considered herself outstanding enough among her peers, she had already been promoted to a full-fledged wizard at the age of seventeen and was good at swordsmanship, not the wizards of most schools who only had physical fitness and no combat effectiveness.
He was rich in knowledge and adventure, and was praised by his teachers for all the abilities required of a noble heir in literature, art, mathematics, etiquette, and territorial management.
But she also had to agree that this young general of the same age as herself, although his background and starting point were not high, his achievements were far above herself.
Especially today, with the wave of a hand, the large group of transcendental-level ghouls chasing you are slaughtered, and it is almost effortless to be easy and freehand.
Olivia admits that she was a little struck by his power.
Even for her, who is already good at marksmanship, swordsmanship, sailing, adventure, and safari, in addition to shock, there may be a little bit of indescribable admiration for the strong.
It may have been a secret mood that even she was not aware of.
That kind of power is compared to witchcraft.
Gem Witchcraft is magnificent and delicate, like a machine or a work of art of extreme precision, but its power is direct and domineering, like an irresistible thunderstorm in the heavens!
But although the strength is domineering, as a direct superior who can be relied on, it gives people an inexplicable sense of reassurance.
I don't know if it's an illusion, obviously I've never met, but those black eyes give her a faint sense of familiarity, as if the two of them have met many times before.
Trample.. Trample.. Trample..
The pace was brisk, and at this time the crisis had been resolved, and Olivia was much more relaxed.
Carrying the suitcase that had not yet been put down, he followed the tall Evan all the way to the captain's cabin located in the aft building.
Smack-
There was a soft, bright light on, and she was already instinctively observing the layout of the captain's room.
Mahogany desks and cabinets, walnut beds, high-back chairs with silver threads... It's not shabby, but it's not very luxurious, at least it's still a little bit different from the identity of a general.
But she was soon drawn to the strange number of plants in the room, including the white wind chimes that were providing the light source, and the others she knew, didn't know, and might know but seemed to be mutants.
And most of it is witchcraft material!
"Goo-goo..."
And behind a heterogeneous spider plant with a triangular oblate spherical capsule, she also saw a large snow-white owl.
At the same time, Bes, who was resting on the shelf, tilted his head to meet her eyes, and continued to close his eyes and go to the military affairs of Port Hatrafa remotely.
"These things..."
Seeing this, Olivia has realized that her previous understanding of this captain is still not comprehensive enough, and she has to add at least one more before many previous titles... Sorcerer.
When Aven took out and put away the alchemy musket just now, she hadn't realized what was wrong, because she was also used to this kind of thing as a storage device.
Otherwise, the captain's anomaly should have been spotted just now.
Olivia, who has been out on an "adventure" for a while, doesn't know that Evan is not only a wizard, but also an important business partner for her father!
Bang –
Just then, the door behind Olivia was suddenly shut, just as she was startled, not knowing what the powerful and mysterious captain was going to do.
Da.. Da.. Da..
But he saw Ai Wen spinning around him twice with his hands behind his back, and looked at it with some amusement for a while.
Until she was a little hairy, and even thought that the "false face" had revealed some flaws, and she had been exposed.
But I heard him speak slowly:
"Mr. Roddy, it's hidden. What is recorded on your profile is only the strength of the trainee knight, but I didn't expect you to actually have an official rank!"
Aven, who was originally a little serious, winked at him, as if I had discovered your little secret.
"Uh... Your Excellency Captain really has a good eye, and you have discovered this. ”
Olivia breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that what was going to happen to this guy she couldn't beat at all, and she was startled in vain.
"This time the garrison headquarters is quite reliable, and even sent another official knight to my ship.
Warrant officer, behave well, don't hide it.
There is no shortage of battles on the Storm Horn, and with the corresponding strength, the accumulation of merits of the school officers should be very fast.
In fact, if it weren't for the limitations of strength, all the captains on our ship would already have the rank of colonel at this time. ”
Although the "Life Force Field" was obscured, Ai Wen, who had a "Data-based Vision" and third-order strength, could see the clues just from her steps.
Ai Wen nodded with satisfaction, he was one step closer to the extraordinary lineup of officers, and it was the only good news today.
"By the way, let me think about it.
It just so happens that you are most familiar with Vader, so let's learn to sail with him first when you get to the boat, don't look at Vader's young but professional ability is very good.
Rest for the night today, and tomorrow you can go to the cable chief to report. ”
This remark made Olivia's words slightly messy.
"God mysteriously called people over... That's it?"
However, a false alarm is always much stronger than a real shock, and the ability of the "false face" to resemble an advanced transfiguration technique is still very reliable.
She only muttered slightly, stood up and saluted, and walked outside.
However, when she walked to the door, she suddenly turned around and asked with some curiosity:
"By the way, Your Excellency, do you have a grudge against those ghouls of the Kingdom of Ilya?"
Although Aven's history since joining the army has been widely known through the kingdom's continuous propaganda as a typical propaganda, the experience before that is not well known.
Except for a very small number of people with relevant interests, there are only some high-level figures in the alliance.
And Olivia, although her status is not low, is not clear about the feud between Evan and the Earl Wright.
"Ha, you'll find out later. Turn left next door to your cabin, and turn right belongs to the Navigator.
Don't make a mistake, don't blame me for not reminding you if you get beaten. ”
Not wanting to talk about this topic to the new crew members, Evan didn't answer directly, just muttered.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Captain!"
Although she was really curious about the captain of "herself", Olivia also knew that she had just boarded the ship, so it was better not to act too casual.
Reflexively walking out of the captain's room, Olivia saw her own private room next to her, and was about to rejoice that she didn't have to squeeze the gun deck with the sailors.
Suddenly.
Fluttering Ridge –
She saw a flock of birds on the boat, which was obviously much larger than ordinary seagulls, soaring into the air, snow-white without a trace of variegation, and even the surface of the body seemed to have a subtle light from the inside out.
"That's..."
Seeing these very familiar seagulls, Olivia's heart suddenly flashed with a flash of lightning, and there was a touch of disbelief on her face.
Because she had already figured out where those familiar eyes came from!
.......
With a very friendly image of the captain, he encouraged the new warrant officer.
Evan took out a copy of the information that Major General Martin Christopher had passed on to him, and fell into deep thought as he scanned it.
Caginia, the kingdom's earliest royal colony, really had a big incident some time ago.
coincided with the time when he was the deputy commander of the garrison, patrolling all the way from south to north.
In the colonies along the line of Pharytis, there were four extremely serious incidents of Atrian revenge in a row.
The time basically happened in the evening, and the people in the town returned to their settlements one after another, and it was also the time when the residents were most concentrated, and the methods were bloody and cruel.
The occasional survivor was only able to escape because he had been delayed in returning to the settlement.
Moreover, what worries the Doge's Palace and the garrison the most is that.
The modus operandi was unlike any previous Aboriginal revenge incident, and in addition to the routine scalping of the victims, the Aboriginal group also took out the hearts of all people.
This is no longer just an act of revenge, but more like a premeditated bloody sacrifice.
This couldn't help but make Ai Wen think about whether the several incidents of the inexplicable strengthening of evil spirits that he experienced some time ago would be related to this kind of activity.
As for the target of the crime, it has also been locked, it is a small clan named Araukan that enshrines the great shark totem.
The good news is that in the most recent attack on the pioneering town of Pavel, Major Greg, who had died heroically among the garrisons, managed to leave a potion on the attacker's body.
Because the follow-up search and rescue personnel found the special potion bottle that had been corked next to his body.
The potion can be perceived by specially trained animals, but not by humans. The validity period is about one month, and you can't wash it off even if you take a bath.
In order to prevent any further development of the town from being killed, immediate action must be taken.
Because the matter was too urgent, the garrison also sent two hunters who were familiar with the environment in the depths of the continent to wait for them at their destination in Kabushir.
After Ai Wen memorized the information, he was about to put it away again.
But there was a sudden movement in my heart.
From his pocket, he took out a palm-sized oval blade with a small line written on it.
"Act tonight!"
After the last time I made an appointment with Miss Moonstone to explore the outside world together.
Because of the hyacinth blades that could communicate instantly, Evan had been waiting for the signal from the moonstone.
Unexpectedly, she replied that the time when she went out to the spirit world may not be fixed, so it has been delayed.
And today, Evan finally waited for her signal to act.
With the help of the "Monsoon Goddess" and the "Horn of the Currents", the fastest speed from Cape Storm to Kaginia takes four days.
So it's useless to be anxious, you're about to face a group of extremely ferocious enemies, and it's good to be able to increase your strength a little more.
So, he wrote on the leaf:
"Okay, Roger!"
