At the end of Frostfall Month, President Triss of the Scavenger Guild receives an invitation from the Senate of City Hall to participate in the launch of the new warship as the provider of the Elemental Cannon.

There was no boiling joyful atmosphere at the scene, and there were no crowds of onlookers and good deeds, and the fragrant flowers, the roaring salute, the intricate ribbons like spider webs and the colorful flags waving in the wind, and the champagne hanging on the bow of the ship were nowhere to be seen.

Aldrich looked around, and only a handful of unidentified people were qualified to attend, in such a secluded dockyard, and somewhere downstream from Eastwood.

Tris quietly left the viewing platform and walked to a higher position alone, looking down condescendingly at the new warship that had quietly stayed in the dock. There was no elaborate rope system, no towermast of astonishing height, and the familiar chimneys on the deck made him suddenly lose his mind.

Below the waterline, the ship's side is covered with a thick copper skin, as if steel armor protects the hull from the erosion of brackish water, and the gray black paint coats the deck, giving the whole a solid, reliable quality.

The new warship, named the Dreadnought, was lying on its stomach in a dry dock like a sleeping beast, and Aldrich's spiritual pillars rumbled and vibrated that it was no longer enough to see with his eyes, he wanted to get up close.

It was a very reasonable request, especially before the big man who was used to being late did not arrive at the secret dockyard, and Tris, who had the title of Fourth Knight, was approved by the host of the launching ceremony, and even allowed him to move around the deck of the ship as he pleased.

Holding the thick wooden pillars one by one, crisscrossing the hull to maintain basic balance, Aldrich did not want to embarrass the host, so he did not go down to the bottom of the dock, but stepped onto the Dreadnought.

Reaching out and touching the dark paint on the side of the ship, the inner touch increasing as the fingers touched for longer and longer, Tris seemed to sense that the new warship was breathing with life, but its cries did not ring in his ears.

It is really an incomparably amazing creation, the original ordinary materials, through the dexterous hands of workers and craftsmen, combined from scratch to form, as if stepping on an ancient glacier, awakening the earth of the Titan giants, ready to open the world to do something great.

The spiritual pillar had a faint resonance with the Dreadnought, and it was clear that Aldrich had a certain quality that was very compatible with the new warship, and he felt that the source of his faith had reached a new level, and that he could break through to become a great knight at any time.

However, a jumble of footsteps from far and near woke Tris from his drunken dream, and then the most magical resonance came to an abrupt end, and no matter how loud his heart cried, the Dreadnought never responded.

Aldrich was a little disappointed, but he knew his identity well, and immediately straightened his position, without the need for the master of ceremonies, and calmly left the deck of the new warship, because he saw that it was a master you knew, and a great man who was under the close protection of the Grand Master of the Knights of the Cold Mountain.

Needless to say, the middle-aged man in the position of heavy protection, despite his simple and modest clothing and the lack of the usual arrogance of the nobles on his face, Triss dared to conclude that he must be his own feudal lord, that is, the initiator of the Customs Union, the Archduke Eastwood, who was elected as the leader of the League.

The invitees, including Aldrich, who were scattered around the docks, spontaneously approached the ceremonial stage, and after a brief speech by the eloquent host, he opened the gates and lowered them into the river to make way for the new warships to float, and asked the Grand Duke of the highest position and prestige to take his place.

There is no superfluous improvisation, no unexpected contingencies, just the precision of the gears, and even the Grand Duke of Eastwood is no exception, both the creator and maintainer of order, and at the same time subject to the invisible order.

Hidden underground, invisible to everyone's eyes, a series of intricate mechanical linkages, so that the Grand Duke himself was able to slowly lift the dockyard locks with a gentle pull of the iron handle.

The icy water roared wildly into the dry dock, filling the bottom quickly, and as the water level continued to rise, the new warship, balanced by log pillars, the Dreadnought, broke free and floated smoothly on the water, gradually leveling with the river outside the dock.

The Grand Master of the Cold Mountain Knights waved lightly, and most of the well-trained elite knights under his command boarded the Intrepid through the pedals, and they stayed in different positions very tacitly, and then the sides of the new warship opened their flaps one after another, and a pitch-black barrel was pushed out by the knights.

The harmless beast that had been sleeping soundly suddenly showed its claws, trembling its flabby fur, and an astonishing momentum gradually took shape, like an evil lord from the bottomless abyss.

When Edmundo received permission, he immediately took out his staff, stretched out his hand and lightly dotted it, only to see a ray of astonishing brightness hit the bow of the ship, lifting the curtain that had been obscured for a long time, revealing a sphinx with a human face and a sphinx, which symbolized nobility, mercy and courage, which was very much in line with the name of the Dreadnought.

Hit by the master's spell, the double protection of the ship's bow image was instantly activated, and the force field at the forefront was offset, and the whirling arm like a vortex could be vaguely seen, constantly stirring. This is followed by the crystal clear wave shield, the honeycomb-like hexagonal grid, the strongest form in nature.

Aldrich's eyes were heightened by the Crow's Vision, and he saw a faint flow of crystal light beneath the bow ornament, which was obvious to the key to the Dreadnought's protection system, but it was not clear why it was not hidden in a safer part of the ship's hull, but instead exposed to the outside.

"Maybe it's reverse thinking, the more inconsequential the place, the more important the responsibility, the ornament that no one cared about is now the protective center of the new warship, it is estimated that few people can guess. ”

The Dreadnought, which floated on the surface of the water and gradually sailed away from the dock, wandered on the river of spirits, which still smelled of wine, lowered its three-claw iron anchor and fixed it, and the barrels on both sides of the ship fired a salute in turn.

"Bang...... Boom...... Bang"

Twenty-four rounds, the highest spectacle, and a specially made smokeless ****** are still provided by Tris's workshop, and from this point of view, the competitors of the Scavengers Guild will need to continue to work hard to catch up with the giants who are getting farther and farther away.

The launching ceremony was basically over, and everyone left in a hurry around the Grand Duke of Eastwood, no one even cared about the host's speech, but fortunately, Aldrich, who was on the scene, wanted to try to resonate with the Dreadnought, so he did not leave the stage with the crowd, and continued as an enthusiastic participant until the end of the ceremony.

There were only a handful of young people in the dockyard, heirs from upper-class noble families that Triss didn't know, or core members such as the eldest son, who had planned to take the opportunity to get acquainted, but unfortunately the secret circle potentially excluded the strange Aldrich, even though Aldrich was invited to participate in the launching of the secret new warship.

Without a key introducer, he couldn't squeeze into the "gentleman's" club club, and it was estimated that he would be met with a cold spot if he continued to try, and Triss walked to the ceremony stage alone, his request surprised the host, who had seen many of the quirks of high society, but it was only a surprise.

While the Knights of the Cold Mountain were leaving the Intrepid one after another, the host immediately motioned for Aldrich to board the ship and take charge of the finishing touches, put the elemental cannons back into place, put down the hanging plate on the gun's side of the ship, and restore everything to its original state.

As for the double protection of the ship's bow, it has quietly fallen silent after the source of casting has been exhausted, and in order for it to work again, it must be filled with new sources, and Tris now has this ability, but he does not need to show it in front of everyone, especially in front of young people who can't keep secrets.

The new warship, which slowly put away its claws, woke up completely, and in the twenty-four salutes that roared just now, Aldrich clearly felt the powerful cry of the newborn when it fell to the ground, and the small spirituality grew rapidly, and every plank and sail line of the hull seemed to be injected with vitality.

Triss stretched out his hands and pressed them on the railing of the ship's side, he didn't like the cold copper shell, his fingers resting on the painted wood, perhaps because of the long winter sun, or maybe the residual warmth of his own hand for a long time, Aldrich felt a continuous mooring life.

The Intrepid quickly responded, and the windless automatic rudder swayed back and forth, like a dazed child in a strange crowd finding a familiar loved one and waving warmly to Terris.

When Aldrich's hands touched the handle of the rudder, the spiritual pillar shook, and the source of his virtue finally reached a level of equivalence, and the invisible boundaries could no longer stop Tris's onslaught.

The wellspring of the eight virtues filled his body and mind, the fame that had been accumulated for a long time, the loyalty of Lovett's love, the pity for the common people at the bottom, and the sacrifice that he was willing to give...... The seeds sown by the heart of the knight in the former whispering forest have grown vigorously all the time after hard irrigation and fertilization, and all the crops rooted in the pastoral field of the soul are now in the harvest season.

In the sacred hall on the top of the mountains, the eight pillars quietly faded from the original color of bronze and glowed with a silvery white luster, and a fully armed gold statue suddenly rose at the center of the temple, and the gems hanging from the top slowly descended and were inlaid on the forehead, and the steel armor retracted into the helmet like a tide, revealing a blurred human face. As time passed, the lines of his face became clearer, and if you looked closely, it was clear that Aldrich Tris was looking like.

The Helmet of the Eagle, the armor that protects every part of the body, the Meteor Spear that slides through the sky and is sure to hit its target, and the Excaliba Sword that cuts through all tangible things......

The weapons and equipment of the divine source have endowed the great knight of virtue Aldrich Triss with eight different abilities, and the knightly skills of the six major bodies have not only not disappeared, but have more powerful abilities due to the rise of the overall level.

When he left his psychic world, he was a little impulsive to find someone to try his tricks, and his best opponent was naturally the Children of War in Cetanis' arsenal.

Each other has entered the transcendent level of one enemy and one hundred, and they are also great knights who specialize in sacrifice, and no one knows how strong Marthas is with the unique title of "Red Comet", but Aldrich Tris wants to find out today.
