Chapter 244

The second part of the reward is authority.

There are many privileges belonging to the "new star of the navy", such as giving priority to supplies, giving priority to the selection of reserve crew, participating in the alliance's special celebrations, and so on.

But what Irving values most is the "free passage right of ports in the alliance"!

As a rare flag within the six countries of the alliance.

Evan and his warships can enjoy the right to freely travel to and from the domestic ports of various countries, including their overseas colonies, without any application procedures.

Also enjoy the treatment of national battleship level.

That is to say, Elvin will be able to brush his face in and out of the league in the future!

Although this authority seems unimportant and convenient, one of the biggest advantages is that we all know it, but we will never put it on the surface - Warship smuggling!

In fact, smuggling with warships has long been nothing new. The highly profitable smuggling activity is a big piece of meat that both private businessmen and the Navy want to bite.

Most of the time, the Admiralty has turned a blind eye to this situation, and has the power to give benefits to the Navy.

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

That's just as a national ordinary captain, but how much can the storm horn gain by gaining the free passage rights of the alliance and the colonies?

It's impossible to measure!

As long as you work hard, it's easy to make more profits than the shares of copper mine in front of you!

The third part is the play of reward, the treasure promised by Elijah.

In fact, the list of treasures published at the beginning was almost all of them at the level of "secret treasure of the sea". For the rich Elijah royal family, it is easy to take out a few low-level "secret treasure of the sea" and the best weapons.

But in the face of those treasures with different abilities, such as the extraordinary weapon "blood lake light" which can greatly increase the knight's strength! For warships, the bomb cyclone power of "ocean secret Casley bronze gun" is matchless! ...

Elvin still chose this seemingly useless "Golden Compass"!

Many people on the sea know that the "Golden Compass" is not a secret treasure of the sea, nor a magic creation, but a gift from the God of the legendary "golden kingdom".

For hundreds of years, the total number of known "golden compasses" obtained by adventurers and various forces in the whole world will not exceed 12.

It has only one function, that is, in the sea, no matter what kind of bad situation, it can guide a way to survive for holding his ship!

Compared with many "secrets of the sea" with magical ability, this mysterious passive ability is so small that there is no sense of existence, but it is a treasure in the hands of adventurers who have the courage to explore the unknown world.

On the surface, its ability seems to coincide with Milan's prophecy, but it has an advantage that prophecy Witchcraft does not have.

That's the "absoluteness" of mystics!

What is absoluteness?

Unconditional and unlimited. It is opposite to the "divination" which needs to be interpreted and guessed and is often linked with probability.

Take chestnuts for example:

a merchant ship with deep draft and full of precious goods is pursued by a vicious pirate ship. In front of him, there is a sea area with calm surface but full of reefs.

As long as they can get through here safely, they can get rid of 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 the anchor point, plan the route, and guide the merchant ships to an absolutely safe waterway.

Of course, in this process, the compass will not give you any lucky bonus and help. Whether you can escape from this definite life depends on your own ability.

If we switch to divination, there may be multiple guidelines for the purpose of survival.

For example, if you yaw 12 compass points, there is a certain probability that you will encounter unexpected life-saving straws if you sail all the time; if you surrender to pirates, those who are sheltered by the constellation horse head can save their lives; if you take this water area, the probability of getting out of danger by a certain route may be the highest.

Of course, there is one of the biggest possibilities. If you can't save it, you can die and leave.

The gap is clear.

However, although it is absolute, the "Golden Compass" is not omnipotent.

Even if it is a gift of God, with magical power, but in any case it is just a compass, not a God with infinite power itself.

If you're surrounded by hordes of large sea monsters, it might give you a straight up direction.

As for whether you have the ability to go to heaven or not, it is not in the scope of consideration...

however, the ability of "Golden Compass" is not the reason why Elvin chose him.

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

take out the golden compass which is about the size of a pocket watch from an exquisite walnut box. Thanks to the gift of God, there is no wear mark on it, just like a brand new one.

When you open the gold flap carved with the pattern of cosmic star map, there are scales and letter marks that are no different from normal compasses under the smooth crystal disk.

In the middle is a magnetic needle in the shape of an arrow, half red and half gold. 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 put on the flap and turned the compass over. You can see clearly 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 it may be a part of the legendary "golden kingdom" where God lives.

But if they were asked to find out which God it was, no one would be able to tell.

Among them.

Some of the magic stories about the "Golden Compass" are widely spread, but some secrets are only spread among its owners and inheritors!

In the structure that seems to be perfectly integrated at the bottom, there is something else.

This is a secret that few people know. Thanks to the activation of Elvin's mental power, his childhood memory has fully recovered. Otherwise, he may not remember it clearly.

Evan pressed down the bottom cover with his thumb. It sank almost imperceptibly. After that, he first rotated half a circle clockwise, then loosened it, and then rotated one circle counterclockwise.

Click -

the bottom cover, which seems to be integrated with the compass, has been opened by itself.

Inside is a complex mechanical structure different from the ordinary navigation compass, with precise gears, springs, gems and complicated small incantations. The precision is a mysterious and mechanical beauty that no one can imagine in this era.

However, Elvin's attention is not here. On the side of the inner shell, there is a small line of handwriting written in unknown green pigment: "Garriott, 12th year of Haiyuan calendar".

"Ha, it is indeed it!"

Finally confirmed the initial conjecture, Elvin once again congratulated himself on choosing the path of the Navy, this family heritage treasure can be recovered.

If you choose to be a pirate at the beginning, not to mention an ordinary official knight, even a third-order Knight like my sister can't snatch this "Golden Compass" from the treasure house of the kingdom.

After a brief period of joy, Elvin's mood became complicated.

The joy of being lost, the melancholy of seeing things and thinking about people, and the feeling of being right and wrong... In the end, there is only a mixture of five flavors in my heart.

It took a long time to clean up the mood and refit the bottom cover.

Evan rubs this "Golden Compass" which has been passed on secretly for nearly two hundred years between the owner and the heir. The legend about it reappears from the bottom of his heart.

In the story handed down by the Garriott family.

When their ancestor, Garriott, was a civilian explorer who was not literate, depressed and aspiring (there were differences among captain, ship owner and sponsor, and a civilian without money could not be an explorer).

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

Although maritime transportation has been very developed in recent years, the ships have also been upgraded and undergone several revolutionary changes.

However, the first year of Haiyuan calendar was the beginning of ocean exploration, and the landmark event was that the kingdom of hillius first "conquered" the treasure sea and discovered the southern continent.

So at that time, young Garriott subconsciously believed that this mysterious man came from the south continent opposite the treasure sea.

When they were drinking, the mysterious visitor from afar heard the anguish in the explorer's words, so he generously put forward a deal.

Among them, the chip paid by the mysterious man is the "Golden Compass", while the price that Garriott needs to pay is not money, life, soul and other things, but a "cowardly and comfortable" heart!

However, Garriott did not pay any attention to this inexplicable price.

Garriott, who is determined to become a great adventurer, feels that he has no such useless things since he went to sea, and can this illusory state of mind be used as a bargaining chip?

At that time, the extraordinary level was too low, and Garriott didn't think much at all, and agreed to this seemingly very cost-effective deal without hesitation.

The development behind is as he wishes.

"Golden Compass" helped Garriott successfully explore the best route of treasure sea!

As a result, the Garriott family was canonized by the Elijah royal family and became a real hereditary Baron family with 40 knights.

It was not until a long time later, with the advancement of status and transcendence, that the Baron, Garriott, learned that the "Golden Compass" was a gift from the God of the "golden kingdom".

As for where the "golden kingdom" is, what the purpose of sending these "golden compasses" is, and who other people have compasses, no one can tell.Nearly two hundred years later, this "compass" of the Garriott family was lost in the night of blood and fire in Blackstone town. Today, the compass is back in the hands of Elvin, a descendant of the Garriott family.
