Extraordinary Sailing

After solving the issue of Hawkins' identity and ensuring that the important asset "Mercury United Trading Company", which must be more profitable than robbery in the future, will not be available to no one.

Surprisingly, Ivan stayed in Hartrafa Port for another three days.

However, in these three days, no one has seen his team leader, and even Milan, who has always been inseparable, doesn't know what mysterious things Ivan is doing in hiding.

It was calm until nightfall on the third day.

The members of the pirate group who were about to fall asleep were completely dispelled from their sleepiness by a loud thunderous noise above their heads.

boom rumble

Like the prelude to the approaching storm, the muffled thunder rolled in against the bottom of the clouds, weighing heavily on the hearts of the pirates.

"Quick! Quick! Go and check if the boats on the pier are fastened?"

At the beginning, the pirates were busy stabilizing the ships moored in the port to cope with the coming storm.

However, the extraordinary captains who stayed on the island took out the "storm bottle body" that had been assigned to each ship and observed that there was nothing unusual. From now on, there will be only clear skies for twelve hours.

"Strange, what's going on?"

After they distinguished carefully, they discovered that the faint thunder sound actually came from the island below them!

A loud thunder that was more urgent than the last sounded in the rainforest deep in the island.

boom! Crackling!

Even if they stand in the gentle seaside residential area, they can see the constant flashing lights of various colors in the towering mountain rainforest in the middle of the island.

Everyone on the island knows that there is actually an extinct volcano on the island and the location of a freshwater volcanic lake with a diameter of two kilometers as a water source.

Red, yellow, purple, blue normal lightning in nature does have different color distinctions, but such colorful lightning rarely appears at the same time.

However, no matter what the cause was, the immense power and influence within it was no less than the thunder that fell from the sky.

The huge movement also attracted most of the pirates on the island to come out to watch, seeing this bizarre scene and talking about it.

If there are time-traversing people in the crowd at this time, no matter whether others can understand or not, they may shout: "Where is the Taoist friend here?"

However, the only one who travels through here is right at the very center of the shining lightning!

Crackling

In the rain forest at the foot of the extinct volcano.

With his upper body naked like a marble sculpture and wearing only a pair of trousers, Ivan was constantly shining with blue electric light all over his body.

At this time, holding an ordinary iron sword for training with both hands, it stood tall like a temple.

With his feet on the ground and his head on the sky, Aiwen's tall body seems to be a bridge connecting the sky and the earth.

He closed his eyes slightly to cover up the increasingly powerful white light in his eyes, and gradually adjusted his breathing between his mouth and nose, exhaling as a gust of wind and inhaling as a thunder, gradually creating a wonderful synesthesia with the world.

After a few breaths, he inexplicably grasped the melody of the world itself, and all the visions between the breaths disappeared.

After listening to the pulsation of the world through synaesthesia, there seemed to be thunder in Ai Wen's ears, but it was a loud sound.

next moment.

The spirit sitting in the sea of ​​consciousness is like a majestic god with the power of thunder, and his vision instantly rises as if he has come outside Ivan's body.

[Profound Truth Thunder Breathing! 】

On the surface of his body, the emerald green engravings on the wrist, ankle, and heart light up in sequence.

Crackling——

The fine blue electric light on Aiwen's body surface was instantly integrated into one, turning into a bright and sharp electric light circle shining with blue light around him!

Extraordinary energy [Shenwei! 】

bang——

Aiwen stamped his feet on the ground, thundering like a thunder dragon trampling.

The violent thunder burst out, instantly turning the bluestone under his feet into powder.

And his body was also propelled by this terrifying force, like an electromagnetically accelerated orbital gun flying out with wind and thunder.

call out--!

At the same time, in the eyes of the pirates on the periphery of the island, they saw a flash of blue lightning, like an arrow, flying up the towering mountain of life and death in the center of the island.

in the blink of an eye.

In the slight vibration that can be felt even on the edge of the island.

The blue arrow light was like a retrograde lightning, and it had already penetrated the outer wall of the volcanic rock more than ten meters thick on the outside of the volcanic lake, and the abundant lake water accumulated during the rainy season poured down.

Under the moonlight, a sparkling waterfall instantly formed.

"Is that thunder?"

"Didn't you see that it was going from bottom to top? It should be ball lightning?"

"It's terrible. Fortunately, it didn't fall into the port area, otherwise none of us would be able to survive."

""

The pirates talked a lot, but without exception, they all thought that this was some kind of strange natural phenomenon, and they never thought that it was the work of their own captain.

The person in charge of the logistics department in the command room is the most stable, and said in a deep voice:

"It's all gone! After dawn, let's go up and check the water source to see if we can use that waterfall."

The island has a typical tropical maritime climate, and the volcanic lake stores a large amount of water during the rainy season.

However, except when the water volume is the most abundant, the lake water crosses the mouth of the crater to form a creek, and daily water collection requires special personnel to carry it on the shoulder.

At this time, the volcanic lake formed a small waterfall in the direction facing the port.

Perhaps as long as a water tower is built after a little renovation, the fresh water there can be continuously transported down with hollow bamboo to build a complete water supply system.

It also greatly saves the cost of later construction and provides convenience for the team members.

And at this time.

Aiwen, who pierced through the thick mountain with a sword, was floating on his back in the clear water of the volcanic lake, throwing the iron sword that had been completely melted by the powerful electric energy into the lake.

If some pirates fish out this sword from the lake in the future, thinking of today's lightning and thunder, maybe there will be more reverie.

call--

Aiwen let his body float naturally on the water, exhaled lightly, and the magnetic field of life slowly calmed down.

The electric sparks on his body dissipated without a trace, and the surging heat generated by the thunder quickly dissipated along with the lake water.

In fact, Aiwen's advancement started three days ago.

But because of this extraordinary profession, which has never been called a unique one before, it was slowly advanced for the sake of caution, and it was not completely completed until today.

If you look at Aiwen from the perspective of spiritual vision, his vitality is surging like a real monster at this time, and the limit of vitality should be far beyond the average lifespan of a great knight of 150 years.

And after his body has undergone many transformations, his height has reached 1.9 meters at this time.

Her figure was flawless, and even her fair skin seemed to be shrouded in a faint light under the moonlight.

Although [Brand Swordsman] is in the same line as [Tree of Life Totem Warrior], it still surpasses it in an all-round way.

After the totem engraving is combined with the projected roots in the sea of ​​consciousness, the perfectly engraved "life tree" does not need to cover almost the whole body of skin like the totem warrior.

Instead, most of it is hidden under the skin, except for a vivid emerald green "Tree of Life" emblem at the heart.

And compared to the mysterious source, it is closer to the red hemlock of Ivan itself!

[Brand Swordsman] Both in appearance and actual strength are far beyond the latter, and there is no shortcoming of their weak spiritual strength.

And his physical data at this time has also completed a qualitative change:

Name: Alvin Garriott

Sex: Male

Rank: Commodore Captain (fourth-tier battleship "Storm Point")

Class: Tier 3 Branded Swordsman/Official Wizard

Attributes: Constitution 6.1, Strength 6.1, Dexterity 6.1, Mental Power 3.2.

Skills: Urgent Thunder Swordsmanship (Proficient), White Sail Swordsmanship (Half-Step Master), Sorcery (Proficient, Uplifting, Potions, Activated Aura, Activated Animal Hide, Bloodline Transformation)

Because the physical attributes are not isolated but a precise system that affects the whole body, even the mental strength has been fed back due to the surge in physical activity, and has made great progress.

Aiwen has completely reached the third level of extraordinary, standing shoulder to shoulder with his always outstanding sister Anita.

At this time, even if he has not made many contributions to the kingdom, he can still achieve the generous treatment of a brigadier general based on his strength alone.

Because even in modern times after the "Breath of the Beast" was born, the proportion of formal knights who can generate grudges and advanced knights is only 2% to 3%.

It is conceivable how precious the third-tier great knight and similar transcendents are.

Among the most powerful kingdoms in the mortal world, except for the guardian of the kingdom standing high on the apex of the pyramid, Tier 3 is already a big boss in all parties.

Even Lieutenant General Gustav, the highest-ranking military officer of Phalitis stationed in the New World, and Rear Admiral Demond Brand, the captain of the only quasi-legendary "Brilliant", is nothing more than that.

Looking up at his slender and powerful palms, Aiwen couldn't help murmuring:

"Is this the power of the third order?"

After becoming a Tier 3 bigwig, while gaining more privileges, it is no longer necessary for him to do many things himself.

Ai Wen also silently took stock of his family background in his heart.

In terms of property:

A copper mine owned by Criboom Mining Company, which is located in the New World and has the background of the Ilia royal family. Aiwen owns 2% of the shares, and can bring himself at least 1,200 Golden Lions in dividends every year.

The "Vanilla Manor" of the Southern Continent obtained in exchange for the "Song of Shipwreck" has an annual income of about a thousand golden lions for various crops.

Then there is the "Mercury United Trading Company", the main force of the commercial project in hand, which holds 40% of the shares and has management rights at the same time. This is a high-quality asset that can lay golden eggs, and the future is limitless if it is carefully managed.

All of these were entrusted by Ivan to Hawkins, who is extremely capable, and the spirit seagull that stayed in Hawkins' dream.

Although Aiwen doesn't doubt Hawkins' loyalty, after all, the extraordinary level is too low, and some things cannot be determined by his subjective consciousness.

Necessary insurance measures are still in place.

In terms of power:

There are 2,256 young and strong pirates carefully selected in the "Dragon Cavalry Pirates Group". For such a long time, Ivan has easily memorized each pirate's name, specialty, and appearance, and he knows the entire pirate group like the back of his hand.

It owns a total of real estate properties: one central port, Hartrafa Port, and three subsidiary small private ports (under construction).

Movable property: the heavy cruiser "Venus" led by William, the "Gladiator" led by Baldwin, the "Wrestler" led by Alec, the "Shake the scull".

There are also eight two-masted mixed sailboats that have not yet been finished.

Although it has not been established for a long time, the lineup is not bad. It already has the momentum of a large pirate group. At least the core fleet is hardly comparable to the pirate group.

All thanks to the selfless devotion of the Cyrusians.

Finally, he is the most elite direct subordinate in the military.

The "Storm Horn" now has a total of 185 people left after the initial battle attrition and the transfer of the backbone to join the privateer fleet.

And Aiwen, who has already been promoted, is going to rejoin his crew tomorrow to fulfill the responsibilities of the deputy chief of the garrison.

By the way, some new crew members were carefully selected from various colonies, some of them came from the naval base, some from the garrison, and some were recommended by the high-level colonies.

The list has been passed to Ivan by "Fort Dirben".

It is said that one of the warrant officers is about to board the ship and become the first "alternate officer" in the history of the "Storm Horn".

"The team can continue to grow and grow. As a temporarily unknown boss, I am very pleased!"
