Chapter 164: The First Mission

The next day.

Milan had barely regained his ability to cast spells when he was pulled back into divination by Aven. I don't want to see Anita like the first time, I just want to confirm her life and death now!

In the end, the scene of the sea dragon rushing to the head of the city made Ai Wen still have palpitations, and his expectations were not high at all at this time, as long as his sister could live, even if they couldn't reunite for the time being, it didn't matter.

"It must be okay!

This time there is no need to be as troublesome as when the "Moonlight Spirit" ceremony is held, just put the crystal ball back on and perform ordinary crystal ball divination. In fact, even if Milan still wanted to perform that level of ritual, it would not have been possible to calm the spiritual turmoil and loss without a few months.

As Milan concentrated and cast the spell, a mist of light slowly appeared in the transparent crystal ball, which was a harbinger of successful divination!

Two pairs of eyes staring at the crystal ball widened at the same time.

But in the next moment...

Poofโ€”

It was like a candle flame that had been suddenly blown out, and the light and mist disappeared in an instant before it could be connected.

The two were stunned, looked at each other, and at the same time saw each other's wide open mouths.

No success is not a failure, and both of them know what this scene represents. Because half a year ago, before Evan set off for Newinn Harbour, when he asked Milan, who was still a wizard's apprentice, to divination, there was the same scene.

"Milan, your power... You're not going to go back to the wizard's apprenticeship, are you?!"

Evan was a little dumbfounded, couldn't it be that a divination ritual yesterday had caused Milan's spiritual overdraft to regress back to the apprentice level... This is too great a sin for yourself.

"No, no!"

Milan also looked at his hands in disbelief, repeatedly confirming that he was still an official wizard-level "prophet". Spirituality is only a temporary decline, and it doesn't actually hurt the roots.

There was no problem with the "divination" this time, and the spirituality of the crystal ball also gave me feedback, but because the difference in strength between myself and the divination object was too large, it was no longer enough to support the continuation of divination.

"Is it....?"

The two said in unison:

"Grand Knight?!!!

......

"It's a good time to go to sea,

Let's go, my boy,

The sails are already hoisted high,

You're a good boy,

Come sail with us,

Ride the wind and waves together,

You're already a man,

You should have your own choice,

Jump on deck when you're decided

Young people, don't rub around

Look at the sky in the distance for a day

Thick clouds are gathering

Johnny boy!

We were born for the storm

......โ€

Listening to the cheerful singing of the crew, Evan stood on the bow of the ship in a captain's sword and a sword, and the sea breeze blew the hem of his clothes to hunt.

The bow of the "Conch" pierced the sea, and today's wind and waves were a little strong, and the water splashed and shattered into a snow foam around him.

For that day's divination, Evan didn't get to see the scene where Anita killed the sea dragon with the "Dragon Slayer Sword Siegfried" and bathed in the blood of the sea dragon's heart.

Although it was a little strange for my sister to be in that sinister situation, not only was she fine, but she also accidentally advanced to the Great Knight.

But at this time, after all, it is thousands of miles away, and it can only be put down gently. At least I know that my sister is okay for the time being, and there will always be a day to meet in the future.

As for dropping everything now and setting off for the treacherous Misty Seas of the New World to find her in the "Shipwreck Bay", which is infested with murderous pirates?

Hehe, Evan hasn't been reckless enough yet.

After taking up the new position, the Conch was able to leave port for a few more days offshore, starting Aven's first mission as a captain.

I used to have my uncle Gehr on the "Silver Wing" and an instructor to take care of him at the Naval Academy, but now when I really go to the sea, the only person I can rely on is myself.

Although it was just a simple task of cruising and delivering mail and parcels, Ai Wen was in good spirits, and he had to do it beautifully without any accidents!

The same is true of the crew under his command.

and the new captain went to sea for the first time to carry out a cruising mission, and everyone wanted to perform well, after all, his Excellency the captain controlled the promotion channels and even the power of life and death for most of the people on the ship.

After going to sea until today.

The first cruise was almost over, and even when the return trip began, it was calm and it seemed to be a relaxing and enjoyable trip.

After all, Evan had been serving on the "Silver Wing" before, and the "Silver Wing" that existed with Gehr performed the most difficult tasks below the battleship level. Now that Evan has left the "Silver Wing", it is natural to feel relaxed to carry out the regular tasks of an ordinary sixth-tier ship.

At least now you won't bump into a sea monster or be besieged by vicious pirates...

After another routine round, Evan returned to his own separate captain's quarters.

No matter how low the level of the warship is, the living and working conditions of the captain on a warship can still be guaranteed, at least they are much better than on the "Silver Wing".

Boom.. Boom.. Boom..

"Goo-goo..."

On the shelf by the porthole, the snow-white owl bass tilted her head and looked curiously at the door. After becoming the captain, Evan openly arranged a separate place for his "pet" in the captain's room.

After all, after going out to sea with the ship, it is really difficult for an owl to follow those seabirds on the sea.

"Come in!"

"Your Excellency, I have brought the navigation chart, do you need me to report to you on the next voyage?"

The door opened, and the man who came in was Adrian, the captain of the Conch.

This is a taciturn middle-aged man, with a flaxen-colored curly face full of weather, and his years of sailing have allowed him to accumulate a certain amount of experience, not outstanding but not unqualified.

The appearance is ordinary, the personality is ordinary, and the ability is also ordinary. In short, he is an "ordinary" person who is difficult to impress.

After all, most of his life has only been on a sixth-level ship, and no matter how much pride and ambition he originally had, it is difficult to be like a young man at this age, and he has enough heart and perseverance to hone his skills and break through himself.

Maybe An An steadily survived the rank of captain in the Navy until retirement, which was already his biggest request.

However, Ai Wen is not demanding of him for the time being, after all, he has just taken office, and many things need to be sorted out step by step.

With Aven's permission.

Adrien walked over to his desk and unfolded the chart in his hand, and said respectfully:

"Look, Captain, 'Campland', 'Tulst', 'Westcoll', these three cities are connected on our return route, and the voyage will take about two and a half days.

The last stop is a short stop at Leopold, a small fishing town, before sailing along the twisting coastline and returning to 'Gabred' in less than two days. โ€

"Leopold?" a name so familiar that it was almost carved into his flesh made Evan move slightly.

Listening to Adrian's introduction, he had already set his eyes on the nautical chart unfolded on the table, as an excellent graduate of the Royal Naval Academy, it was naturally impossible for Evan, who had reached the proficient level of "naval knowledge", not to understand the chart.

This is a typical Portland-type chart, created and perfected by St. Portland, the "goddess of kingship and navigation".

The charts are full of radial azimuth lines, which are relatively convenient for navigators to determine their position on the known ocean with the help of these azimuth lines and compasses.

The contents marked above mainly include: shore shapes, islands, reefs, water depths, buoys, lighthouses, supply points, habitats of dangerous marine life, etc.

With nautical charts, ships on the sea can accurately determine their course, find suitable supply points, avoid straying into the habitat of otherworldly creatures, and do not easily run aground on reefs, which is one of the indispensable hardware for navigation in this era.

Of course.

If you're an adventurer who dares to explore uncharted waters, you can leave that sentence unsaid.

As a rigid need for the navigation industry, an accurate nautical map also requires a huge cost of manpower, material resources and time, which is not something that can be done by idle small forces, so the value is naturally very expensive.
