Subsequently, under the command of First Officer Perry, the sailors performed their duties and began to clean up the battlefield.

The damage to the Silverwing after being attacked by the sea monster was not serious, and after a simple repair, the body of the conch was dragged behind the ship with a net bag, and the normal navigation was resumed.

Sea monsters are creatures that are inherently transcendent materials, and no one can easily give them up when they can. Fortunately, it is in the near sea, and if it is caught in the open sea, only a part of the core materials can be harvested, and the value is far less than that of a whole corpse.

Although the loss of the "Silver Wing" was not small, the corpse of the sea monster alone was enough to pay for the fare, whether it was to pay for the bereavement of the war dead or the commendation of the survivors.

With such a big guy, it was difficult to continue the rest of the cruising work, and the existence of the sea monster was inconvenient to be exposed to ordinary people, so Gehr simply ordered to return directly.

Whoa...

As the sea monster died, the fog on the surface of the sea gradually dissipated. The Silver Wing made a graceful arc across the sea, turned onto another fast course with fewer shipping vessels, and returned at full speed.

On deck.

"Let's go, Warrant Officer Aven, let's go and rest first, and let you taste the special food of our ship at lunchtime, but it's a rare delicacy. First mate Perry patted Evan on the shoulder and said mysteriously.

The friendship of fighting side by side, coupled with the obviously different attitude of the captain Gehr, the first mate, who has always been known for his stern and unapproachable feelings, is uncharacteristically kind to Aven.

"Really, I'm looking forward to it!" There is an opportunity to better integrate into the group, and Evan naturally will not miss it.

Really.

In addition to the high-quality ingredients originally stocked on the ship and the fresh sea fish caught on the spot, the chef also presented each table with a mysterious plate covered by a hood.

This is the special food that is rarely seen in other places in the mouth of the first mate.

Curious, Evan opened the metal cover in front of him.

A large piece of snow-white tender meat soaked in turmeric juice, accompanied by a few slices of green vegetables, the strange aroma spreads, which makes people can't help but appetite.

It turned out to be a "sea monster feast" made of sea monster tentacles, which not only tasted delicious and crispy, but also had the magical effect of slightly improving physical fitness.

The old crew members are nothing, how can they enjoy it once or twice a year when they were on the fourth-level ship before, and even when they reach the fifth-level ship, the ration is much stronger than others, but it makes the two of Aven and Gary, who have seen it for the first time, feast.

Feel the subtle heat flow stirring in your body.

Ai Wen even fantasized that if he could eat this kind of meat every day, he should be able to reach the limit of mortals quickly, right?

When you think about it, you know it's impossible. The sea monster is the ruler of the sea, and it is also the top predator, and it is understandable to accidentally encounter a desperate fight, but if you are specifically chasing and hunting, you really think that your life is too long.

However, if you only eat one or two meals, the sea monster meat is no more effective than the corresponding auxiliary medicine, which is better than nothing, and can only satisfy the taste buds.

Even so, Evan solved his share as quickly as possible, leaving no residue behind.

Sitting at the exclusive wine table of the officers, while they were all slightly drunk, they began to talk with great interest.

Evan inquired curiously about the old officers' past experiences in the deep sea.

Today, everyone saw Aiwen's performance, and he alone cut off the three tentacles of the sea monster and saved at least a dozen crew members. Whether or not they have a special relationship with the captain, they have been approved by most of them.

"I'm the right person to ask, I'm the first person to follow His Excellency the Captain on the seas. "The navigator Terus had drunk a lot, and his eyes were already a little blurred with drunkenness.

"Young man, you have to remember that there are many behemoths in the sea, but not all of them have hatred for humans.

The coexistence of carapace and tentacles is the characteristic of the sea monsters under the command of the mother of sea monsters, and their hatred of humans is an instinct, and there is no way to change it, but there are still many other types of wild sea monsters.

To these wild sea monsters, humans are no different from other creatures, and if they have the means, they can even be tamed in the same way that they can be tamed hounds. ”

With that, Telius cut a large piece of white sea monster meat, dipped it in the soup, stuffed it into his mouth, poured a large sip of rum, and burped hard.

"And, the brave Navigator tells you from his experience that the mighty sea monsters have one thing in common, and that is that they are all delicious!" Seeing that Telius was addicted to wine and meat, Boatswain Chris teased him.

The people at the table burst into laughter.

"Or is it better for us to fly a fourth-class battleship on the open sea, this small species of sea monster only needs one salvo to send to the bottom of the sea, where will you need Your Excellency the captain to take action personally?"

The gunslinger took a sip of amber rum and sighed with emotion.

"If you want me to say, when will we be able to subdue and enslave a large wild sea monster, then our days will be tsk..."

"Dream on, you don't need anything else, it's enough to rely on such a large sea monster to compete for a quasi-legendary battleship!"

A crowd of people were heckling and laughing at the helmsman's impracticality.

Unlike small species such as the Shock Conch, which can be killed by a single person with a special javelin, each large Kraken has the ability to destroy a battleship on its own (in the absence of a powerful Transcendent on board).

Even a few decades ago, the Kingdom of Sylius, the overlord of the sea power kingdom, once released a bold statement when it sent a battleship into the sea for the first time: "The only thing in this world that can resist a battleship is another battleship and... Large sea monsters!"

The large sea monster is the kind of terrifying monster that is at least longer than a first-class battleship, and with the power of this monster, combined with the command of humans, the combat power exerted can no longer be simply described as one plus one is greater than two.

Although it can't reach the level of the "legendary battleship", which is used by the sea power country to suppress the country, it is still no problem to surpass the first-class battleship and reach the level of quasi-legendary.

This means that the combination of humans and large sea monsters is enough to crush more than 90% of the human ships on the sea, which is terrifying.....

Evan didn't interject, and while eating all kinds of food from Hesse, he struggled to satisfy his appetite, which was becoming more exaggerated by knightly practice, while listening attentively to the conversation of the officers.

In addition to some common sense related to sea monsters, I gradually have a certain understanding of the strength of the officers on the ship.

The strength of an individual on the sea is small, but it does not include the transcendent at the peak level, and even as far as the inauguration regulations of the Kingdom of Pharytis are concerned, every warship captain should be at least an extraordinary knight!

This is also the last force guarantee for the warship to defeat the harsh natural environment and deep-sea monsters.

The extraordinary captain is assisted by a different number of midshipmen (corresponding to the captain officer) and a large number of ordinary sailors, with the help of the ship's ship's guns and various weapons, to form the overall combat effectiveness of a battleship.

The officers present here are naturally no exception, they are all qualified to practice the real transcendent swordsmanship "Pharytis Saber Technique", but either because of age or because of qualifications or because of lack of ambition, there are few people who can really surpass ordinary people and reach a certain level.

After all, at their age, they are still in the position of captain, and most people have already reached the pinnacle of their careers, and have long given up their otherworldly paths, often pinning their hopes on the next generation.

Among them, Uncle Gehr is a well-deserved military force as the captain, and a powerful existence at the peak of the official knight. Moreover, the Navy Military Department has regulations that if an officer of the martial arts faction wants to be promoted to a colonel-level officer, he must have the rank of official knight, except for civilian rank.

First mate Perry is counted as one, although he has not yet reached the official knight level, but the level should not be too low. The other is Boatswain Chris, who leads the stormtrooper's most jumping team, and Evan feels that he is physically stronger than Gary but should not be as good as himself.

But when it comes to development potential, both of them are already too far apart.

The first mate Perry is over thirty years old, and his physical fitness has mostly been improved by the years, and there is almost no possibility of advancing to a full-fledged knight.

Boatswain Chris is in a slightly better situation, but if he doesn't try to break through within two years, he may never have a chance again.

This kind of qualification is not to say that it is compared to Evan, but it is far inferior to Gary.

Theoretically, as a member of a former fourth-class battleship, the ability of a captain officer is not like this.

From their chat, Evan unexpectedly learned that there was actually another knight-level existence on the fourth-level ship, which was where the confidence of the fourth-level ship's crew lies. It's just that everyone is secretive about this former colleague, and they don't know whether they sacrificed or transferred.

After a moment of silence, Ai Wen did not ask any more questions.

"Come, keep drinking!"

"Warrant Officer Aven, welcome to our Silver Wing. ”

"With Warrant Officer Aven's skills, he will be the new force on the Silver Wing in the future. ”

A celebration feast allows Evan to fully integrate into the new group.

......

The return was much faster than it was on patrol, but the Silverwing's destination was not Gabred's military port, but a small hidden island outside the harbor that was not on its normal course.

After handing over the body of the conch to the navy stationed on the island, the officers and crew of the Silver Wing were credited with a handful of merit and bonuses. In the future, this is a voucher for upgrading the military rank and exchanging training methods and various cultivation resources.

With Aiwen's outstanding performance, his share is naturally indispensable.

Ai Wen estimated that as long as he did this again, he would be able to reach the standard of becoming a regular without slowly staying up for years, and become a captain with the same rank as the boatswain and the first mate.

After returning to the port and reporting the Kraken incident, the Silver Wing received an additional commendation, and the crew was given another three days off a week after their last docking.

After a thrilling sea monster battle, the crew can't wait to relax in bustling Gabrid.

Evan frowned a little, because Uncle Gel was called away by the Third Fleet command alone. He felt that the matter of the sea monster breaking into the offshore sea to attack the merchant ship was not so simple, and there might be a hidden story behind it.

But now it is not his turn to worry about these things, but another small matter is imminent.

Only those who have been adrift on the sea for a long time can experience the beauty of stepping on the earth, without worrying about being overturned by the bed board when sleeping, not worrying about the inkwell tipping over at any time, and not worrying about ......

Maybe you'll get used to this kind of sea life in the future, but it's clear that the thick ground is more appealing now, and it would be nice to have a large salad with a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables to satisfy your vegetable-hungry stomach.

Given that he had to spend a lot of time in Gabrid, Evan felt the need to settle his own accommodation on the shore. You can't sleep in a hotel every time you dock, right?

Renting a house, as a place to live on the shore for a long time to come, became Aven's primary goal.

Calling Gary together, the two of them got off the Silver Wing, and then hung out on Gabred. It was only then that he realized that he had been in Gabrid for several months and had never had a chance to visit the city.

"Come and take a look, the special fruits brought back from the Southern Continent!"

"Behold, how suitable this fine piece of cloth is for you, beautiful girl!"

"Sell glass mirrors, sell a silver bull glass mirror in the royal capital, I only sell ninety copper folks, only ninety!"

It is a well-known trading center, whether it is a civilized world or a distant colony, as long as you can imagine the goods can be bought here.

In addition to the bulk trade, large and small bazaars also flourish due to the abundant flow of people. Fruits, vegetables, accessories, clothing, etc., although they have the common shortcomings of this era and are slightly messy, they are full of life.

It makes the guys who are used to seeing the monotonous scenery of the sea feel relaxed.

"Gary, what kind of house do you think we should find?"

"Hmm... Cheap?"

"Ahem, ahem..."Aven was speechless for a while, knowing that this guy didn't have any reliable advice.

"Rent is not a problem, just leave it to me. Evan also knows about the situation in Gary's family, there are many brothers and sisters, and he probably wants to save his salary and send it home to support the family.

Evan himself is not short of money now, and he still has the loot captured by the Blood Anchor and the two thousand gold tickets to dispose of the ship still in his pocket.

Wherever the 2,000 golden tickets are placed, it is already a huge amount of money.

Commerce and trade are developed, and housing agencies are naturally indispensable. found an agent that looked quite pleasing to the eye, and the two of them followed a young clerk to start a half-day tour of Gabrid.

The black-hearted businessmen in the other world have not yet extended their claws to the real estate field, there is no real estate speculation fever, even in a more prosperous harbor city like Gable, the house price is not very expensive, and the rent is naturally cheaper.

It doesn't matter if the location is good or bad, as you spend most of your time on the boat and don't have to think about your commute every morning.

From high-end apartments in a bustling area, to luxury villas in the suburbs, ordinary homes in a civilian area... In the end, I turned around most of the city, visited almost all of Gabrad, and finally found a satisfactory place near the sea.

"Yes, this is it!"
