"Ah, before you know it, the time is coming again. See you tomorrow, Your Excellency!

Although I haven't personally used the knowledge of the 'Black Ringer School', even the Simpsons have lost most of their spell-casting abilities because they only have souls left.

But I believe that if you are as honest as you, you will be able to make real use of them.

Every communication with you has been a pleasure and I can't wait to see tomorrow coming soon"

After learning that Evan had the title of baron, the aristocrat and artist had been referring to Evan in formal social occasions such as "baron", and his attitude had risen by at least two or three notches compared to the beginning.

Evan didn't correct him in the slightest way that his current title was different from what he had thought before.

A few hundred years ago, titles of nobility were not as valuable as they are now, when titles were tied to land, and no country would issue titles indiscriminately.

Nowadays, merchants and even pirates in many countries can get honorary titles as long as they can give a large amount of money to the royal family, and if they are willing to spend money, they can buy even the earldom.

"Sir, I will put the knowledge of witchcraft you have given me to good use, thank you for your generosity!

In return, tomorrow I have prepared for you a history of human navigation, which is no less magnificent than the 'Renaissance'. ”

"Hahaha, I'm looking forward to it!"

As Katarov's image fades away, Evan carefully puts away the parchment for his recording, and then reseals the painting.

Through these exchanges, Aiwen's assessment of the painting's potential value has also been raised.

Stripped of its own antique and "cursed object" value, the "personalities" of these different eras in it alone are a huge asset, although most of them are strange, but there are also existences like Katarov who can communicate normally.

As a true aristocrat and artist, Aven easily gained a wealth of valuable information and knowledge by using his identity and worthless information.

And in the eyes of the other party who maintains the habits of life, it is just a part of normal communication, and there is no disadvantage.

"What a nice man Mr. Katalov is!"

So, Evan decided to keep the painting in store and use it as a long-lasting treasure trove that might dig up unexpected surprises at some point.

As for the risks, of course, there are.

But the truth is that, as Katarov said, the Simpson, who had only a soul left, has weakened to the extreme. Aside from the power of the "cursed thing" itself, he is not much stronger than a mid-level apprentice right now.

If it were an ordinary person, it might still be afraid of its own terrible curse, but in the combination of Aven, Milan and Kaka, it didn't have to expect to roll over.

In particular, Kaka can be called its nemesis, coming and going freely, and you can steal at any time.

In addition, Katarov also told Evan many secrets about the "Black Lingering School", including the final creation that they said had been realized by someone.

: Create a fake world that is almost indistinguishable from the real world, and even use it to pull an entire city in the real world into the film world and become your own impregnable nest.

Since the mysterious source involves space, even if he doesn't say Aven, he can guess that there is a very likely storage space in Simpson's hand similar to the Shadow Vault.

This would explain why there were so few witchcraft tools and spell-casting materials on the ship other than a pile of mortal things.

"Another day, I will find a way to take out all the treasures that he doesn't know where to hide.

Anyway, it's useless for him who only has his soul left, so it's better to contribute to the 'Living Chemical School'.

Well, it's too difficult to get straight to that crazy old man, and you'll have to find someone from this pile of 'personalities' who can help you find the treasure trove. ”

Talking to himself, Evan got up and covered the painting with a thick opaque cloth to prevent an unknown crew member from accidentally seeing it and causing an accident.

Then he walked out of his captain's room.

Peal pedal, pedal, pedal

Climb the wooden ladder to the open deck.

The luxurious captain's quarters, which were originally located in the tall stern building, have been dismantled by his own hands, and all the functions of the new "Daystar" are to serve the war, and the comfort will inevitably be discounted compared with the past.

Now the humble captain's cabin of this heavy cruiser is just below the aft deck, and with a 24-pounder gun overhead, it is conceivable that the conditions in this place are absolutely unbearable during the battle.

The captain is like that, not to mention the others.

Even if it used to be a third-class ship, but judging from the living environment, now it can't even compare to the "Storm Horn".

The cold wind was howling on deck, and the crew in cotton clothes were busy.

This was to meet the ship's personnel requirements, and all the remaining crew members of the "Storm Horn" and "Endeavour" were cobbled together, a total of 477 people, just enough to achieve a three-shift system that made the crew less tired.

Whoa, whoa, whoa

At this time, the "Daystar" was close to full sail, the bow of the ship was slightly raised to break the waves, and the misty magic aura enveloped the entire hull, and a high-speed current under the hull provided it with an endless stream of power.

Compared to the battleships of the third rank in the past, the current battle cruisers are almost like flying.

Because Tracy, the former helmsman of the "Storm Horn", was accidentally killed, and now the helmsman of the "Endeavour" is Robert, who is in charge of driving the ship.

Seeing Ai Wen coming up from the hatch not far from the helm position, he couldn't hide his excitement and saluted Ai Wen:

"Unbelievable, Captain!

The results of the speedoline just now show that we have reached a speed of twelve knots, and this is still with a boat in tow.

It's amazing, I've never sailed this fast!"

"Hahaha, no need to be surprised, the ship will get faster and faster in the future. ”

Evan wasn't surprised at all, this speed certainly had something to do with the modified ship's shape, but the "Bow Statue Monsoon Goddess" and the "Treasure of the Sea: Horn of the Currents" also contributed to it.

Even with a small merchant ship towed behind the buttocks, it still ran at a high speed that sailors could not even imagine.

And.

At the same time as the speed surged, the salvo launch mass of the ship's guns on the "Daystar" was only 144 pounds less than that of the original third-class ship, so you can imagine how hearty it would be to drive such a ship in battle.

Of course, the current heavy cruisers are not without any shortcomings, and the biggest problem at present is that the hull is too short, and it is very easy to suffer losses in broadside battles.

But wait for Evan to equip the crew with all the elements, and then equip each of them with "Activated Hides".

At that time, the crew members who at least had the strength of the late stage of the apprenticeship didn't care about this little flaw at all, and they could jump directly onto the other party's ship with just one step.

Even a first-class ship as tall as a castle is no exception!

Walking to the bow of the ship, he stood shoulder to shoulder with Milan, who had been standing here for an unknown amount of time, and the bitter sea breeze rattled the hunting sound of the captain on Aven's body.

Looking at the fairly gentle sea in the distance, he asked Milan:

"Hasn't Major General Brand's order come back yet?"

At this time, they were riding the "Daystar", which had just been refitted and had only experienced two short sea trials, heading for the northern seas at full speed.

From the moment they received the order, they had been temporarily placed under the command of the major general.

After the Rear Admiral learned that they had completed the conversion of the "Startenburg" and were ready for combat, the first order issued to them was to disguise and hide all the way to the open sea of Cape Cape to stand by.

Now they were about to reach their destination, and they were summoned to Major General Brand.

"I've been on deck and the terns haven't come back yet.

What do you think will be the outcome of this war, and will it turn into an all-out colonial war?

The silver mine is said to be three mountains of silver that are almost semi-open-air, and the amount of silver stored is truly astonishing.

It is an important weight that can directly affect the country's national strength, after all, even the 'quasi-legend' has already been dispatched!"

From the order before they set off, it was revealed that Rear Admiral Brand had personally piloted the quasi-legendary warship "Splendor" belonging to Pharytis into the battle zone between Cyrius and Atlan and Zac.

In the name of Syrius, who drove the two quasi-legendary warships "Styx" and "Commander of the Guards" without permission, swaggering through the territorial waters of Phaletis.

Apparently, the Royal Navy detected the sortie of two "quasi-legends" of Sylius.

The high-level people have already had a hunch that the critical moment is coming, and when they see it, they can't take into account the possible suspicions of Sylius, and if they don't give their allies a platform at this time, they may not be able to get a piece of the pie in the end.

But after all, the "Brilliant" is not known for its speed, and after all, it is still a step too late.

The "Commander of the Guards" was equipped with a waterway sufficient to allow large warships to navigate in the dense reef area around Potosí at any cost, and then sent a large number of fighters to break through the obstacles of the two countries and force the landing on the island.

It has actually occupied the two largest silver mountains.

The "quasi-legend" of the two countries came one step late, and in the confrontation with the "Styx Jellyfish" and "Commander of the Guard", even if there were location factors, the unprepared Sark and Atlan could only send small boats to finally occupy the last one.

By the time the Brilliant arrived, the dust had already settled.

The situation of 3:2 also added a layer of pressure to Sylius, after all, although he was tough, even the commander of Sylius did not have the authority to take the lead in starting a major battle between the "quasi-legendary warships".

When the rat is thrown, the tide of battle returns to the regular class.

Just like modern warfare, no matter how indiscriminate the bombing is, in the end, it is necessary for ground troops to enter and exercise actual control.

"Don't worry, since we were ordered to come over, it is obvious that the situation has not expanded to the point of being out of control, and our mission is coming!"

Fluttering

Before the words fell, a tern had already flapped its wings and landed.

An order from the major general also came.

"Combine the elite forces of the two countries to break the battle and force the ordinary troops of Hilius to withdraw!
