Transcendent Journey

The second part of the reward is permissions.

There are many privileges belonging to the “Navy Rising Stars”, such as priority enjoyment of supplies, priority selection of reserve crews, participation in alliance specific celebrations, and so on.

But what Ivan values ​​most is the “right of free passage of ports within the alliance”!

As a flag like rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns within the six nations of the alliance.

Ivan and his warships can unconditionally enjoy the right to freely travel to and from the home ports of various countries, including their overseas colonies, and only need to report afterwards without any application procedures.

Also enjoy the treatment of the battleship class of the country.

In other words, Ivan will be able to enter and exit the league in the future!

Although this permission seems unremarkable, it is just a lot more convenient, but one of the biggest benefits is that everyone knows that they will never put it on the surface-warship smuggling !

In fact, smuggling with warships is nothing new. The highly profitable smuggling activities are big fat meat that both civilian merchants and navy want to take a bite of.

In this situation, the Admiralty also turns a blind eye most of the time, and the right to grant benefits to the navy.

As long as it does not affect operations, it will generally not interfere excessively.

How much can the “Corner of Storms” gain free access to the alliance and the colonies when it is just an ordinary captain of a country?

It’s simply incalculable!

As long as you are diligent, you can earn more than the shares of the previous copper mine with no difficulty!

The third part is the highlight of the reward, the treasure that Ilia Kingdom once promised.

In fact, almost all of the treasure list announced at the time was level of treasure. For the rich and imposing Ilia royal family, several low-level “ocean treasures” and The top grade transcendent weapon is still with no difficulty.

But in the face of those treasures with different abilities, such as the transcendent weapon “Blood Lake Light” that can greatly increase the strength of Knight! For battleship, the “Marine Treasure·Caselle Bronze Cannon” bomb cyclone formidable power that can be used as a trump card means is nothing! ….

Ivan still chose this “golden compass” that didn’t seem to be very useful!

Many people on the sea know that the “Golden Compass” is not a sea treasure, nor is it a witchcraft creation, but a gift from the gods of the legendary “Golden Kingdom”.

For hundreds of years, the total number of known “golden compasses” obtained by adventurers and various forces within the entire world will not exceed 12.

It has only one function, that is, on the sea, no matter what kind of bad conditions, it can guide the ship holding him a way out!

Compared with many “ocean treasures” with magical abilities, this mysterious passive ability is so small that it has no sense of existence, but it is in the hands of adventurers who have the courage to explore the unknown world. Supreme Treasure.

On the surface, its abilities seem to overlap with Milan’s prophecy, but it has an advantage that prophecy witchcraft does not possess.

That is the “absoluteness” of the mysterious academic perspective!

What is absoluteness?

Unconditional and unlimited. Contrast with the “Divination Technique” where interpretation and guessing are often linked to probability.

Take a chestnut:

A merchant ship with a deep draft and full of precious cargo was chased by a vicious pirate ship, and there was a calm surface in front of him But the sea is densely covered with reefs.

As long as they can live here safely, they can escape the fate of death.

If he has a “golden compass” in his hand, this treasure will take the fate of getting rid of death as an anchor, plan a route, and guide the merchant ship to an absolutely safe waterway.

Of course, in this process, the compass will not give you any lucky bonuses and boosts. Whether you can escape from this sure way of life depends on your own ability.

If you change to the Divination Technique, you may have multiple guidelines for the purpose of survival.

For example: yaw 12 compass points, there is a certain probability that you will encounter unexpected life-saving straws when you have been sailing; surrender to the pirates, and those who are sheltered by the horse head constellation can save their lives; if you walk in this waters, The probability of escape from a certain route may be the greatest.

Of course, there is the biggest possibility. It’s hopeless, so let’s die and say goodbye.

Where is the gap, obvious at a glance.

However, although it is absolute, the “golden compass” is not a panacea.

Even if it is a gift from God, it has magical power, but no matter what, it is just a compass, not the Spiritual God itself with infinite power.

If you are surrounded by hordes of large sea monsters, maybe it will give you a vertical upward direction.

As for whether you have the ability to go to heaven, it is not within the scope of its consideration…

However, the ability of the “golden compass” is not what Ivan chooses. the reason.

Even if he never talks about it, he himself has always had a dream of exploring the secrets of the sea and the world. But he believes in his own power more than he believes in the path of life guided by a “compass”!

Papa——

Take out the golden compass about the size of a pocket watch from a beautiful walnut wooden box. Thanks to the gift of God, there is no Any traces of wear are just like brand new.

Open the gold flip cover engraved like a cosmic star pattern, and under the smooth crystal plate are scales and letters that are indistinguishable from the normal compass.

In the middle is an arrow-shaped magnetic needle, half red and half golden. On the shore and when there is no danger, it is just an ordinary compass.

Obviously, the secret of the “golden compass” is not here.

Ivan covered the flip and turned the compass over. You can clearly see that the bottom of the compass is part of a golden city-state.

It is said that the golden city-state on the back of each “Golden Compass” is different. Scholars speculate with very limited information that this may be part of the “Golden Kingdom”, the residence of the gods in the legend.

But if they are asked to verify which deity it is, no one can tell.

Among them.

Some of the magical stories about the “Golden Compass” are widely circulated, but some secrets are only circulated between its owner and the Inheritor!

In the seemingly seamless structure at the bottom, there is actually something else.

This is a secret that few people know. Fortunately, after the activation of Ivan spirit strength, the memory of childhood has fully recovered, otherwise it is really possible to remember it clearly.

Ivan pressed the bottom cover with his thumb, and after it sank almost undetectably, first turned it half a turn clockwise, and after releasing it, turned it counterclockwise again.

Crack——

The bottom cover, which seems to be integrated with the compass, has already popped open by itself.

Inside is a complex mechanical structure different from ordinary nautical compasses, precision gears, clockwork, gems, complicated and small incantations, the precision of which is the mysterious and mechanical beauty that is unimaginable by anyone in this era .

Ivan’s attention is not here. On the side of the inner shell, there is a line of tiny handwriting “Garrett, 12th year of the Haiyuan calendar” written in an unknown green paint.

“Ha, it really is it!”

Finally confirmed the initial guess, Ivan once again was fortunate that he chose the road of the navy, this family inheritance treasure can be lost and recovered.

If you choose to be a pirate at the beginning, don’t talk about the ordinary official Knight, even the third rank Great Knight powerhouse like the elder sister, it’s impossible to give this “golden compass” from the treasure house of the kingdom Snatch it out.

After a brief joy, Ivan’s emotions became complicated.

The joy of losing and regaining, the melancholy of seeing things and thinking about people, the feeling of things have remained the same, but people have changed… In the end, there was only mixed feelings in my heart.

It took a long time to clean up the emotions and reinstall the bottom cover.

Ivan rubs this “golden compass” which has only been secretly inherited between the patriarch and the heir for nearly two hundred years, and the legend about it resurfaces from the bottom of my heart.

In the story handed down by the Garrett family.

Their ancestor, Garrett, was still an unscrupulous civilian explorer (there are differences between captain, shipowner, and funder, and civilians with no money can’t be explorers).

Once I was drinking in a pub, I accidentally encountered a mysterious person who claimed to be from the other side of the sea.

Although the offshore shipping has been very developed before this, the ship has also undergone several revolutionary changes in its renewal.

However, the first year of the Haiyuan calendar was the beginning of ocean exploration. The landmark event was that Sirius Kingdom took the lead in “conquering” the treasure sea and discovered the southern continent.

So the young Garrett at that time subconsciously thought that this mysterious person came from the southern continent across the treasure sea.

While the two were drinking, a mysterious visitor from afar heard the distress in the explorer’s words, so he generously offered a deal.

The bargaining chip of the mysterious person is this “golden compass”, and the price Garrett needs to pay is not money, life, soul, etc., but a “cowardly and comfortable” heart!

However, Garrett did not take the cost of this unfathomable mystery seriously.

Garrett, who is determined to become a great adventurer, feels that he has never had such useless things since he went to sea, and can this kind of illusory mood be used as a bargaining chip?

At that time, Garrett, whose transcendent level was too low, simply didn’t think much, and without the slightest hesitation, agreed to this seemingly very cost-effective deal.

The subsequent development is as he wishes.

The “Golden Compass” helped Garrett successfully explore the best route for the Jumbo Sea!

As a result, the Garrett family was granted by the royal family of Ilia, and it became a real hereditary Baron family with forty Knight collars.

It was not until a long time later, with the improvement of status and transcendent level, that Garrett, who was already Baron, learned that the “Golden Compass” was a gift from the “Golden Kingdom”.

As for where the “golden country” is, what is the purpose of sending these “golden compasses”, and who else has compasses, no one can tell.

In the rush of nearly two hundred years, this “compass” of the Garrett family was lost in the bloody night of Blackrock Town, until today the compass has returned to the hands of Ivan, a descendant of the Garrett family.
