Chapter 215: The Wizard of Misfortune
In the captain's room.
Evan and Milan sat on either side of the desk, Milan's finest crystal ball already on the smooth mahogany tabletop.
"Although sometimes divination can give us the most direct answer, it is better not to rely solely on divination in the hope of solving the problem.
The spiritual world is too complex, and the more we seek accurate prophecies, the more fate will play a game of circles with us.
Fate can enlighten us, but sometimes it only leads us down another path. ”
Saying this, Milan also had some palpitations on his face, wasn't that exactly what he encountered when he encountered the "Sharktooth Pirates"?
Hoping for the appearance of the prophecy, but fate played a terrible joke on itself!
However, in the face of a one-month mission deadline, Evan was already a little dissatisfied with the predicted results of "gain" or "no gain" by staying on a fixed route.
Finally, Milan's precise prediction will be used.
However, Evan also knew how to predict how to get the first place in the "Rising Stars of the Navy" competition, which was far beyond Milan's ability.
But other predictions, such as which route to go to get the most reward, the whereabouts of a particular pirate with a very high bounty, and even where the strongest enemy the Conch can deal with should still be possible.
Follow these ideas to get relatively accurate answers.
Only by himself and the "Conch" can they get the first place, get the right of first choice, and get the "Golden Compass"!
So, at this time, he responded to Milan with only a determined look.
"Okay, I see. ”
Milan had no choice but to do their best to give Aven a try!
And in his mind, there is the secret treasure of the ocean "Misty Silver Lamp", even if he has a problem with the interpretation of the prophecy, he encounters a powerful existence that exceeds the ability of the "Conch" to deal with it.
It can also be attacked, retreated, and defended, at least the safety of the "Conch" can still be guaranteed.
The Ignited Spice spell began, and a mysterious atmosphere suddenly enveloped the captain's room.
The mist of light in the crystal ball began to circulate, and the projection into Milan's eyes turned into a multitude of star dust, and infinite information and secrets were hidden in it.
There are good and bad, shortcuts and divergent paths, and all kinds of chaotic symbols need to be sifted through by Milan, as a "prophet".
Because there is no specific casting medium such as searching for people and objects, it is impossible to point accurately, and this work requires a lot of time and energy to decipher in order to come up with a... Imagery-filled answers.
Time passed little by little, and almost half an hour later, Milan, who was sweating slightly, finally opened his eyes:
"Crystals, treasures, death, spinning windmills...
This image should be a great opportunity and a great danger is coming, and the opportunity and danger point to ... The two of us?
Daystar has lit up, soon!
Huh, what's going on?"
Goo-goo...
Suddenly, bass, who had been quiet in the captain's cabin, suddenly called twice, interrupting Milan's next words.
The light mist in the crystal ball completely dissipated, and the two of them raised their heads.
"This signal, another pirate is coming!"
Without hesitation, Evan has already accessed the vision of the seabird for the first time, and Milan has also released the "Psychic Connection" to access the same.
Whew-
The field of vision switches, and from the bird's-eye view of the seabirds in the depths, two ships on the sea are chasing and fleeing.
Although the boat in front of it was theoretically faster and more agile, its mainsail was riddled with holes that looked like they had been eaten by insects, and the headmast had even fallen down, causing the speed of the sailboat to be greatly reduced.
On the other hand, one of the battleships behind did not know what it was loaded, the draft was extremely deep, and the speed was slower than that of a normal battleship.
Overall, the two are almost equal in speed, creating this prolonged stalemate.
"A fourth-tier battleship?"
In the navy of a powerful country, even a fourth-tier ship sometimes cannot enter the main battle line.
But in large-scale ocean-going escort missions, it is enough to become a flagship, and even has the qualification to sail alone in the ocean, and it is almost the strongest warship that can be encountered outside under ordinary circumstances.
"Is this a bump into a peer?
At first glance, Evan thought it was a drama of a naval battleship chasing and killing a pirate ship, but at second glance, he found that the two ships, one large and one small, were actually black sails.
What is happening in front of me is a drama of pirate infighting!
At this time, Milan's voice came from the "Psychic Connection":
"The Iron Bone and the Dry Bone Crypt!
Has the monster Bassem finally set his sights on William, a guy with a special identity who has encountered ups and downs? Absorb the lives of the strong, intercept their fate, and prepare for the promotion to the third rank of the 'Mysterious Wizard'?!
Has he come this far? No!"
Although Milan was not on the ship when Aven and the others encountered the "Iron Bone", Milan's knowledge still recognized who the two ships belonged to at the first time.
And in his words, he seemed to know a lot about Bassem, a big pirate who behaved strangely.
Evan couldn't be strangers to the two pirate ships, one an old acquaintance and one of the names at the top of the wanted list.
At this time, he had already known that he had misunderstood that William did not join the Pirate King to participate in the "Moby Dick Harbor Massacre", because Ilya's name was indeed not on the wanted list.
And although the guy chasing him behind him is on the wanted list and is also the "big fish" he has been looking forward to for a long time, this fish is a little too big...
"Bassem, a second-order peak transcendent, in military intelligence, he is suspected to be a transcendent of the 'Necromancy School' and related paths. He has a variety of spell abilities, and a battleship full of 'corpses' that he got from an unknown country.
Powerful, weird, terrifying... He has been labelled with various negative labels on his body, including his fellow pirates.
Even in the pirate coalition organized by the Pirate King Huggins, he is a figure with a face, and it is not an exaggeration to even call him the strongest under the Pirate King.
After the massacre, Ilya's bounty for him was also greatly increased, and one person and one ship topped the entire 'Sharktooth Pirate Regiment' of that year, reaching an astonishing 8,000 golden lions, not counting the value of his battleship!"
It can be said that as long as he can succeed in this vote, Aiwen's first position as a "Navy Nova" is basically stable, unless... Someone killed the Pirate King.
But the question that Evan is thinking about now is, should he do it himself, and if so, what are his chances of winning?
But how could he be willing to let go of such a big fish?
"Aven, let's go!" Suddenly, in the "Mind Connection", Milan's eager voice to ask for battle.
"Huh, when did you become so active with such a murderous fellow?"
However, since even Milan supported it, Evan did not hesitate any longer, he was still confident in his hole cards.
Having withdrawn from the view of the seabirds, an order was decisively given to the crew:
"All staff are ready for three-level combat, and it is expected to be engaged in battle in one hour!" The 'Thumb' pulled the tow rope and followed the 'Conch', heading northeast, headwinding six compass points at an angle, moving forward at full speed!"
Because we are now in deep water close to the open sea, the water depth has long exceeded the normal anchor limit of 80 meters.
The foremast and mainmast of the Conch and Thumb open in opposite directions, and the mainmast generates thrust in the opposite direction, causing the sailboat to brake and drift slowly with the wind and currents.
At present, it is less than 30 kilometers away from the two ships in pursuit, and if the "Conch" moves in the opposite direction at its current speed, with the effect of "the bow of the ship, the goddess of the monsoon", it will be able to meet in about an hour.
Although the sailboat is completely powered by the wind, it is also capable of sailing against the wind, and the principle is as follows:
The sail and the sail are rotated sideways to form an angle to the hull, and one side of the sail is full of wind, and the other side is under less pressure, and the hull takes advantage of this pressure difference to move forward.
However, when moving forward in this way, there must be a deviation between the direction of the ship and the direction of the destination, so after the sailboat has been sailing for a period of time, it needs to change the course by adjusting the direction of the sail, so as to move forward in a zigzag shape.
Ascending to his command position, Evan had already thought it through.
On the sea, if you wait until 90% of the success rate of everything to do it, then you will definitely not be able to do anything. As long as the risk is still under control, Evan is willing to give it a go!
First, although this great pirate Bassem himself is powerful, he is at most as transcendent as the White Shark Cook, and he is not an irresistible force for Evan today.
Second, the battleship had an absolute superiority in artillery fire, with more guns and a larger caliber on board. However, with three ships (plus the Iron Bone), they should not be easily crushed with their cooperation.
Third, the combination of misty silver lamp + alchemy musket + seabird bomber gives itself enough confidence.
Finally, just now in the Mind Connection, Milan quickly explained to Evan the situation of the forces behind Bassem.
As you can also know from the name of "Wizard of Misfortune", this is actually a transcendent group that walks the path of fate. What Milan said is mysterious, but it is easy for Evan to understand, to paraphrase a sentence from his previous life, "the hatred that blocks the road is not shared".
And Milan's "Prophetic School" and Bassem's "Yellow Sand Society" are undoubtedly mortal enemies!
If Bassem, who has reached the peak of the second order, successfully hunts William, no one can say whether he will be able to immediately promote to the third order of the "Mysterious Wizard", and if he is bumped into by Milan at this juncture, he will definitely stop him!
This is also the main reason why Milan is unusual, and suddenly has the courage to show its sword against a strong enemy!
Gotcha!
If this battle is won, William can save his life, Milan can get the "gift" in the dark anyway by changing the chaos of fate, and he can take the first place of the "Naval Rising Star" with an undisputed advantage!
Seeing the sea is not the same as going out to sea, the former is giving your eyes to the sea, and the latter is giving your life to the sea.
If you don't have the slightest sense of adventure, why should you go to sea in the first place? This is the case with pirates who fight for their lives, but what about the navy?
Don't coward, him!
