Chapter 80: Bess and the Journey That Finally Begins

The blister, which had been completely transparent, was punctured from the inside, and the owl, which had finally awakened after a long sleep, struggled to break free from the membrane that wrapped itself and slipped to the ground, shaking off the slime water stains on its body, spreading its wings and stretching its body to become larger.

Goo-goo...

Turning his head and screaming softly, he still looked so cute, as if he had just slept for a while, and he didn't realize the changes that had happened in his body at all.

Flapping its wings and falling like a fluttering feather onto Evan's erected arm, there was nothing unusual about it except for the fact that it was slightly oversized.

Although the owl still has the same appearance as its counterpart, its wingspan alone is more than two meters, which is not much worse than a real eagle. If it weren't for Aiwen's extraordinary physique, just one arm might not be able to lift it.

"It's so heavy!"

There was disgust on his lips, but Evan was full of joy. It didn't take any inspection for him to know that it had been turned upside down internally, and that the second stage of the ritual had been successful.

Close your eyes.

The seabirds, which had spread over half of the saltwater swamp, emitted invisible fluctuations, which were automatically processed by the owl, the "base station" with the first direction, and transmitted to Aven's mind.

In an instant, Aiwen's vision was raised.

Each seabird's eyes are a high-pixel camera, and hundreds of different angles of view are pieced together into a huge complete picture. Even like the satellite map of the previous life, you can control zooming in and out, and everything in the small half of the saltwater swamp can be seen.

In the sunset, the mutilated leaves gnawed by insects, a gray rabbit hidden behind a mottled bush, a small black fish under the cracks in the rocks in the stream, a few saltwater crocodiles lying on the sand enjoying the last afterglow of the day... Everything is in the dark.

Evan clenched his right hand tightly, and a sense of control from God's perspective came to him.

The witchcraft version of the holographic dynamic map is complete!

And thanks to the owl's instinctive self-correction after receiving information, the picture sense is even better than expected.

At this moment, Evan felt that all the energy and money spent during this time was worth it. Only he, a traveler who has come from the information age, can personally understand the importance of intelligence and information, no matter what the background!

Happy in his heart, Evan liked how he looked at the snow-white owl standing on his arm. Even though it now rotates its head 180 degrees and stares at itself stupidly, Evan automatically defines its expression as "cute".

No longer a dispensable percent, owls deserve a name of their own.

Ahem, Evan is such a reality...

"Hmm..' 'Base station', 'base station' will call you bass. ”

After the ritual transformation was completed, the owl, whose brain development and intelligence level had skyrocketed, could barely understand the meaning of Aivan's telepathy, and he obviously liked it very much.

And Evan believes that with the continuous communication and interaction in the future, the IQ of the owl, oh, the bass will increase rapidly. With the current "hardware" basis, it should not be a problem to reach the level of normal humans.

It's been a few days since I've been away from Gabrad, and after the goal has been achieved, Evan doesn't plan to spend the night here. After packing up your belongings, you will return to Gabrad in the last rays of the setting sun.

It's just that unlike when he came, there is not a single seabird behind him.

The "Scouts" scattered far away, all of them turned into nodes on the reconnaissance network, becoming part of Aven's real-time intelligence system.

......

Whoa, whoa, whoa—

The sky was slightly gloomy, as if rain was going to fall at any moment, the wet sea breeze was blowing, and the snow-white waves swept past the sides of the warship, and then disappeared into the stern of the ship with a whirl.

Dressed in a major's uniform, Evan, standing alone on the bow of the Navy supply ship at his feet, looked back at Gabred.

There is no doubt that today is the day he set off to report from the Royal Naval College.

Destination: Port Newinn, the largest port city in the Kingdom of Phaletis.

After returning from the saltwater swamp, he spent a few days taking care of all his affairs in Gabred. Including the handover of work on the "Silver Wing", asking Uncle Toggle to take care of Gary, who has performed well and has been unusually promoted to warrant officer, paying the rent for the next six months at a time, and so on.

Even before leaving, Evan paid a special visit to Major Eugene, his instructor when he first joined the army, and gave him a box of twenty bottles of whale potion that he had specially concocted.

This potion has no effect on a peak knight like Gehr, but it can be called a miracle medicine for a low-level knight in the stage of physical ferocity like Eugene.

After becoming an official knight, Evan already knew that the fleet had a similar supply of potions for the extraordinary knights under his command. But with Major Eugene's status, that fleet quota obviously did not meet daily needs.

So when Evan came to the door with these potions, it hit Eugene's heart, and after trying the effect a little, he was very satisfied with Evan 's gift, and bluntly said that the effect was even better than the potion distributed by the fleet!

Evan was also very happy to receive Eugene's gratitude from Instructor Eugene. When he first joined the army, he received a lot of help from Eugene's instructor, and he was a great contributor to his reunion with Uncle Gehr.

Now he has the ability to give a certain reward, which makes Ai Wen, who was deeply affected by the concept of "repaying virtue with virtue" in his previous life, feel a lot more relaxed.

Later, Aven, who had nothing to do, packed his bags and boarded the supply ship bound for Newinn Harbor.

Because he received the notice that Evan was enrolled in the Royal Naval Academy, the Third Fleet had already given him the relevant formalities and a period of vacation. But the comrades-in-arms on the Silver Wing did not have this kind of treatment, and after repairing the battleship and disposing of the loot by the way, they had already devoted themselves to the busy task.

So today, Ai Wen set off, and there was not even a person to see him off, and the gloomy weather made this parting scene not so bright!

However, Aven's mentality is good, or he has been in a good mood since returning from the saltwater swamp.

While there has been significant progress in the study of witchcraft, the share of the loot from this unexpected encounter with the "Sharktooth" pirates has also been received.

The cost of an ordinary fifth-class warship is about 8,000 golden lions, and two specially modified pirate ships will be even more expensive, especially the "Shark Tooth" as the flagship costs at least 10,000 golden lions.

Because of Aiwen's outstanding contributions, after the loot was processed, Aiwen received an anonymous golden ticket of 4,000 golden lions. This is also his biggest income since he went to sea, which is more than the income of the "vanilla plantation" under his name for four years.

However, the most valuable thing that Evan got was not the money.

has made great contributions to saving the lieutenant general, and Ai Wen's own strength has also reached the standard, and it is natural for this school officer to wear a military uniform. And with the approval of Lieutenant General Snaith, the "friendship" between Evan and Milan was also more solid...

After returning to Gabrid, Evan had several more meetings with Milan, either actively or passively.

The friendship of fighting side by side and fighting bloody battles is still warm, and now the two of them get along, much better than the curious and wary situation at the beginning.

In view of the mutual recognition and the foreseeable long-term work together, the two also had a long and open private conversation, and each revealed some of his secrets to the other.

Milan confessed his identity as a "soothsayer" of the school of prophecy, and Evan generously admitted that he had indeed obtained the wizard's legacy through the "Potions" notebook, and expressed his gratitude to Milan.

In fact, even if Evan didn't admit it, he had already exposed his ability to manipulate seabirds during the battle that day, and Milan had long been in the eyes, so it was better to be open and frank.

The common identity of a wizard made two young people who were difficult to find the same kind instantly sympathize with each other, and the relationship became more harmonious.

Moreover, Evan also learned from Milan the true opinion of the upper echelons of the elite about wizards.

It is completely different from what he has heard in the past and imagined, degenerate, out of control, and risks are all excuses, and interests and maintenance of rule are fundamental!

Many of the great nobles have participated in the funding of wizarding organizations, secret societies, and even cultivated wizards themselves.

Creativity, productivity, and even the most coveted "longevity" of the elite could be obtained through the hands of wizards, something that the dominant church could never give them!

Otherwise, how did the alchemists, who were obviously wizards, develop? With the development of the steam industry, the branch of the alchemist's guild "Alchemy Light" existed openly in the capitals of many civilized countries.

Ai Wen also learned from him that the Royal Naval Academy, which is a member of the "Red Maple Leaf Academy Alliance", a pan-continental organization, has a variety of transcendent path inheritances in addition to the knight's path.

Especially the alchemy school in the wizard path is the most!

Although the Orthodox Church stands at the top of the transcendent world, it does not mean that their rule is pervasive. Even under the suppression of the glory of the righteous gods, there are far more than the rulers of a country who have ambitions and ideas, and the "Red Maple Leaf Academy Alliance" is the product of this mutual game and temptation.

At least according to Milan, the Royal Naval Academy, the highest military academy in Faletis, hides a "shadow library" beneath the military academy on the surface, which houses all kinds of occult and transcendent knowledge.

However, everyone wants transcendent knowledge, and Aven needs his own efforts to obtain the qualification to enter.

Evan was looking forward to the library, and understood what the opportunity was for Uncle Geer's vague words. Whether in the world of science or witchcraft, in addition to talent and inspiration, a solid foundation is the cornerstone of all achievements.

Evan wants to go further on the wizarding path, and this shortcoming is a hurdle that can never be bypassed.

Maybe six months at the Royal Naval College will reveal a little bit of the mystery of this world for yourself?

"Can only a wizard threaten the rule of the gods?" chewing on the words Milan had said, Evan was thrilled.
