Chapter 38: Captain

　　 The so-called "ocean treasure" is not a human creation!
　　 is a kind of magical treasure that is naturally produced under the influence of the mysterious factors of this world on certain items.
　　The reasons for their occurrence are various and strange, which may be based on special geographical environment, large-scale historical events with far-reaching influence, and even the mass extinction of life.
The appearance of 　　 is also diverse. It may be a sculpture like the "Sunken Shipwreck Song", or it may be a shell, a stone, a pocket watch, and so on, anything that may exist in the real world.
　　 But they have the only thing in common, that is, they are extremely difficult to destroy.
　　 Every kind of "ocean secret treasure" has its own magical ability, powerful and mysterious.
Since the name carries the prefix "ocean", most of these abilities are naturally related to the ocean, especially in the sea. These secret treasures will bring unparalleled assistance to the ships that hold them, and are the objects that everyone on the sea is desperately chasing. .
　　 "Marine Secret Treasure" can almost be equated with power and wealth!
　　 Of course, not all ocean treasures are like "Sunken Shipwreck Songs" in which an evil spirit with ulterior motives lives. It deliberately reveals the secret treasure's information and has a unique and extraordinary path to induce others to use its evil power to achieve ulterior goals.
　　Most ocean secret treasures belong to the self-obscure type. It is impossible to tell if it is not a professional person holding it.
　　 I have to say that this time the two uncles and nephews captured the head of the one-eyed Betsy, and they also picked up a sea treasure back for nothing. It is really great luck!
　　 Although it is hostile to the order side, as long as two people do not want to defect to the kingdom and become pirates, they cannot use it as a navy, which is a pity. However, there is no problem at all to exchange benefits with aristocrats with special needs.
　　 "As long as you deal with the evil spirits hidden in it, you should be able to trade a good price." Geer concluded.
　　 As for exchanging a secret treasure that they can use with others, neither of them has any hope. The opportunity is too slim to meet and cannot be sought, so it is better to turn it into tangible wealth and resources that can be used now.
　　 "By the way, Uncle Geer, what do you plan to do with the extraordinary path above?" At the end of hearing, Ivan didn't even see Geer mentioning the extraordinary path of "Sunken Ship Mourning" and asked strangely.
　　 Mentioned the extraordinary power related to his own future, Geer suddenly became a lot more serious, and then asked Aiwen: "Iwen, there are many extraordinary paths in this world. Why do you think it is the path of the knight that dominates the human world?"
　　Although he has a vision that transcends the times, Irvine has never considered this issue. After thinking about it in conjunction with the teachings of Grandpa Leo when he was a child, he tentatively said: "Is it because of stability?"
　　 "That's right! But not comprehensive. Stability is only one aspect."
　　"In fact, both internal and external factors determine the extraordinary status quo of the civilized world.
　　 The internal factor is that although the path of the Cavaliers is extraordinary, the extraordinary power involved is only for the relatively basic and pure human body, and the risk of losing control is the smallest and most stable. Even if it eventually loses control, it won't be too destructive. "
　　Gelton paused to give Ivan time to digest, and continued to explain:
　　"The external factors are due to the merits of the
Church of the True God
, the most extraordinary power in the countries of our continent.
　　 Although the knights are powerful, our path has been firmly fixed, like a sword in the hands of a person. Even the titled knights of the extraordinary rank 4 are only divine soldiers, and it is impossible to threaten their status. "
　　In his words, Geer, who was an officer of the old-school kingdom, showed a slight dissatisfaction with the Holy See. If this had to be a major event in public, Aiwen would have not heard it.
"For those extraordinary paths that are easy to lose control and cause mass casualties, or extraordinary paths that are extremely creative and promising, including the "Black Iron Cross Church" that rules our Tulip Alliance, the "Dawn Church" of the Sark Empire, and the sea Including the "eternal fire" of the overlord Hilius Kingdom, the attitude of the Seven Churches of True God is to suppress and eliminate!"
"Most of the unpopular transcendent paths like the shipwreck mourners have flaws, and because of the reasons I said before, the more you leave the civilized world, the more such maverick transcendents. The path is incomplete, or There are all kinds of fatal flaws, and the possibility of losing control is terrifying."
　　 This knowledge is impossible to record in any book, it is entirely Geer's own experience summary.
　　As an extraordinary captain who has been in the ocean for many years, Geer used his profound knowledge accumulation and unique perspective to make Ivan instantly stunned.
　　 can't help but be thankful that I have such a guide.
　　 "Keep the cheaters, boy!" Finally, Geer patted Irving on the shoulder and stuffed the repacked sculpture into his hand.
　　 "Take it back to your room and guard it all the way back to the voyage. In the next few years, it will depend on whether we eat dry or thin."
　　 Then the two returned to the main deck and transferred a part of the crew to try their best to repair the severely damaged pirate ship, barely allowing it to start again.
　　 Silver Wing was towed in front with a cable, and slowly returned to the initial battlefield of Rocky Island.
　　 "The Silver Wing is back!"
　　 "We are saved!"
　　 At this time, the burning wreckage of the Warrior had already sunk to the bottom of the sea. Several lifeboats floating on the sea were sparsely seated with some dejected ex-Warrior crew members. It was only when the Silver Wing came back that they were rejuvenated.
After they were picked up on the ship, the people learned that after they abandoned the ship, the officers on the original Warrior had been focused on fire and extinguished. The captain, including the captain, was not spared. They had been on the Silver Wing. The navigator who drank was the highest-ranking officer among the survivors.
　　Geer comforted them with a few words. After all, their early engagement with the pirates also caused them a huge consumption, and it was an assist for the Silver Wing.
　　 But the loot is definitely not to worry about.
　　......
　　 In a blink of an eye, time came to the third day after returning to Gabriel.
　　 After the brief hustle and bustle of returning from completing the mission, everything seems to be back on track again.
　　 In the past few days, Geer, carrying the aura of honor to kill the crazy pirate "One-eyed Bache", frequently walked with the nobles and merchants of Gabriel, seemingly normal communication and wanted to expand his contacts. But in fact, only Ivan himself knows that this is Uncle Geer looking for a home for their "trophies."
　　 Aiwen is temporarily unable to get involved, but he also has an important task of his own.
　　 Third Fleet Station.
In the resident corridor, large oil paintings are hung on the walls dominated by blue tones. There are landscapes, people, and war scenes. Each painting represents an important moment of the Third Fleet. For the Third Fleet, this is A veritable wall of merits.
　　Walking here is like walking in a historical corridor, and a heavy sense of honor of being a member of it emerges spontaneously. Even a guy like Aiwen who lacks a sense of identity with another world can't help but relax.
　　 In front of a room with a brass sign, Ivan stopped, rearranged the navy uniform on his body, and knocked gently on the door.
　　 "咚!" "咚!" "咚!"
　　 The intensity is neither light nor heavy, and the three tones are just right. This is derived from previous career experience.
　　 "Please come in!" A calm old man's voice sounded.
　　 opened the door and entered, in the simply decorated room, curtains were drawn to block the sunlight from outside, but a gas lamp was lit, creating a quiet and solemn atmosphere.
　　 Three old men in school uniforms sat behind a long table, covered with a green velvet tablecloth, and an open notepad was placed in front of each of them.
　　 Aiwen walked to the empty chair in front of the long table, and stood up and saluted: "Hello three sirs!'Silver Wing' warrant officer Alvin Garriott is here to take the test!"
　　 "Don't be nervous young man! Please sit down." The officer with all white hair and monocle in the middle was very kind, and smiled and told him to sit down, indicating that the assessment is now beginning.
　　 "Before the official start, I hope you can take this assessment seriously.
　　Although your achievements have fully met the standard, it is very difficult for a young man who has only been in the army for a few months. But every officer bears the honor and life of all his subordinates in a critical moment. If the assessment fails to satisfy us, we cannot delegate this responsibility to you! "
　　 An officer with short gray hair sitting on the right side of the long table said with a serious face.
　　 "I fully understand! Please start!" Irving motioned to himself to understand, and was not frightened by him. I guess that this is probably also part of the assessment, to prevent some people from thinking that it is a casual, perfunctory matter, and ultimately making it difficult for everyone to end.
　　 "Please list the names of the three types of rigging in the battleship and their functions."
　　 "The halyards, slings, swivel ropes..."
　　 "In the main battle line battle, if your warship is set on fire by the enemy, will you order the anchor to evade?"
　　 "......"
　　 "The wind speed is 30 to 40 knots, and the wave height is at least one meter. Can the warship go full sail at this time?"
"No, at this time, the top sails of the front and main masts can only be lifted "half sails" to raise the bow of the ship, reduce the effect of burying the head, and prevent the ship from overturning!" From beginning to end, no matter how the three examiners asked, UU reading www.uukanshu.com and Aiwen are all calm and unhurried.
　　 After learning about the test format from Gehr, he began to prepare. For the extremely difficult assessment of many reserve officers, it was a piece of cake for Aiwen, who had traveled from the sea of ​​books in his previous life.
After all, for any alternate officer who can get to this point, he has already spent enough time on the battleship, and there is no problem with his practical ability. This is how experienced veteran officers are used to make questions. The officers will be assessed in the form of answers.
　　 The assessment lasted for twenty minutes. Every examiner asked a few questions, which were broad but not tricky.
　　 After Aiwen answered the last question, several examiners looked at each other and gave a unified opinion. A stamp passed by the representative was stamped on Aiwen's file.
　　 "Congratulations, Irving of the Silver Wing, you will be a captain of the navy from today!" The friendly elder in the middle announced the news on behalf of the three examiners.
　　 "Thank you three examiners! This is my honor!"
　　 Ivan smiled on his face, got up to shake hands and hugs with each examiner, and after saluting again, he slowly retreated to the door before turning away.
　　 "I like this young man, and hope to see more and more such energetic and well-educated young people in the Navy in the future."
　　 "Hehe, people who have been in civil service for a lifetime, and are about to retire, still so much..."
"Leave me alone....?"
　　 Through the first turning point of his military career, he has truly completed the leap from alternate officer to official officer. Ivan only feels broad-minded, and even the faint chattering of the old officers has become extremely cute.
　　 smiled slightly, the corridor was still the corridor engraved with history, but his footsteps unexpectedly brisk.
