Chapter 244 Lost and found
The second part of the reward is permissions.
There are many privileges that belong to "Naval Stars", such as giving priority to enjoying supplies, preferential choice of crew members, participating in alliance-specific celebrations, etc.
But what Alvin values the most is the "right to free ports within the alliance"!
As a rare flag within the Alliance Six.
Alvin and his warships can enjoy the right to freely travel to and from local ports of various countries without any conditions, including their overseas colonies, and only require subsequent reporting without any application procedures.
Also enjoy the treatment of the battleship level of the country.
In other words, Alvin will be able to scan faces and exits in the league in the future!
Although this permission seems inconspicuous and is quite convenient, the biggest advantage is that everyone knows it but will never put it on the openly mentioned warship smuggling!
In fact, smuggling with warships is no longer new. The smuggling activity that makes extremely profitable is a big fat meat that both civilian merchants and navy want to take a bite.
The Navy often turns a blind eye to this situation, just to treat the Navy as a benefit.
As long as it does not affect the combat, it generally does not interfere excessively.
That's just how much profit can the Storm Horn, which has obtained the right of free passage of alliances and colonies as an ordinary captain of a country?
It's simply incalculable!
As long as you are hardworking, it is easy to make more profitable than the shares of the copper mine in front!
The third part is the highlight of the reward, the treasure that the Kingdom of Ilya once promised.
In fact, almost all the treasures published in the list of treasures were treasures of the "Marine Secret Treasure". For the wealthy Ilia royal family, it is easy to take out a few "Marine Secret Treasures" of low-level and superb weapons.
But facing those treasures with different abilities, such as the extraordinary weapon "Blood Lake Light" that can greatly increase the strength of the knight! For battleships, the "Ocean Secret Treasure Kathrey Bronze Cannon" bomb cyclone that can be used as a means to put the box is powerful!
Alvin still chose this "golden compass" that doesn't seem to be very useful!
Many people on the sea know that the "golden compass" is not a secret treasure of the ocean or a witchcraft creation, but a gift from the gods of the legendary "golden kingdom".
Over the past few hundred years, the total number of "golden compass" known to be obtained by adventurers and various forces around the world will not exceed 12.
Its function is only one, that is, no matter what kind of harsh conditions are, it can lead to a way for the ship holding him!
Compared with many "marine secret treasures" with magical abilities, this mysterious passive ability is so small that it doesn't even have any sense of existence, but it is a treasure in the hands of adventurers who are brave enough to explore the unknown world.
On the surface, its ability seems to coincide with Milan's prophecy, but it has an advantage that prophetic witchcraft does not have.
That is the "absoluteness" from the perspective of occultism!
What is absoluteness?
Unconditional, unlimited. It is opposite to the "divination technique" that needs to be interpreted and guessed often linked to probability.
Take a chestnut:
A merchant ship with deep draft was chased by a vicious pirate ship, and there was a sea area with a calm surface but dense reefs in front of him.
As long as they can pass here safely, they can get rid of the fate of death.
If he had a "golden compass" in his hand, this treasure would use the fate of getting rid of death as an anchor, plan the route, and guide the merchant ships an absolutely safe waterway.
Of course, in this process, the compass will not give you any lucky bonuses and helps. Whether you can escape from this undoubted path depends on your own ability.
If it is replaced by divination, multiple guidance may be generated for the purpose of survival.
For example: yaw 12 prayer points, and there is a certain probability that you will encounter unexpected life-saving straws; surrender to pirates and be protected by horsehead signs can save your life; if you walk this area of water, the probability of escape from a certain route may be the greatest.
Of course, there is the biggest possibility. If you are helpless, wait for death and say goodbye.
What is the gap? It is clear at a glance.
However, although it is absolute, the "golden compass" is not omnipotent.
Even if it is a gift from God and has magical power, it is just a compass, not a god with infinite power.
If you are surrounded by groups of large sea monsters, maybe it will give you a vertical guide.
As for whether you have the ability to go to heaven, it is not within the scope of its consideration. The fastest update is PC::/
However, the ability of the "Golden Compass" is not the reason why Alvin chose him.
Even though he never talks about it, he 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 way of life guided by a "compass"!
Smack
Take out the golden compass about the size of a pocket watch from a beautiful walnut box. Thanks to the gift of God, there is no trace of wear on it, just like a brand new one.
Opening the golden flip that looks like the pattern of the universe star map, under the smooth crystal disk is the scale and letter logo that is no different from the normal compass.
In the middle is a magnetic needle that looks like an arrow, 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.
Evan covered the flip cover and turned the compass over. He could clearly see that the bottom of the compass was marked with a 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 legendary "Golden Kingdom", the residence of the gods.
But if they were asked to verify which god they were, no one could tell them.
in.
Some of the magical stories about the "Golden Compass" are widely circulated, but some of the secrets are only circulated among its owners and inheritors!
In the structure that seems to be integrated with tight stitching at the bottom, there is actually another world.
This is a secret that few people know. Fortunately, after Alvin's mental power became active, his childhood memory had fully recovered, otherwise he might not have remembered it clearly.
Alvin pressed the bottom cover with his thumb, sinking almost uncheckable, then rotated clockwise for half a turn, then loosen it, and then rotated counterclockwise for one turn.
Click
The bottom cover, which seemed to be integrated with the compass, had already popped open.
It is a complex mechanical structure different from ordinary navigation compass, with precision gears, clockwork, gems, and complex and small spells. The precision of it is a mystery and mechanical beauty that no one can imagine in this era.
But Alvin's attention was not here. On the side of the inner shell, there was a line of small handwriting written in unknown green pigments, "Galliot, 12th year of Haiyuan Calendar".
"Ha, it's it!"
Finally confirmed the initial speculation, Alvin once again thanked that he chose the navy path, and this treasure inherited by the family can be lost and regained. The fastest update is mobile::
If you choose to be a pirate at the beginning, let alone ordinary formal knights, even a third-level knight powerful like your sister, it is impossible for you to snatch out this "golden compass" from the treasure house of the kingdom.
After a brief joy, Alvin's emotions became complicated.
The joy of losing and regaining, the melancholy of thinking about people when seeing things, and the feeling of changing things and changing people in the end, there is only a mixed feeling in my heart.
It took a long time to calm down and reinstall the bottom cover.
Alvin stroked the "golden compass" that had been secretly passed down between the head of the family and the heir for nearly two hundred years, and the legend about it reappeared from the bottom of his heart.
In the story passed down by the Galliot family.
Their ancestor Galliot was a rude and frustrated civilian explorer (the difference between captains, ship owners, and sponsors, and the poor civilians are not unavailable to be explorers).
Once I was drinking in a tavern, but unexpectedly met a mysterious person who claimed to be from the other side of the sea.
Although near-sea shipping was already very developed before this, ships have also undergone several revolutionary changes.
But the first year of Haiyuanli was the beginning of ocean exploration. The landmark event was when the Kingdom of Hilus took the lead in "conquering" the sea of treasures and discovered the southern continent.
So at that time, the young Galliot subconsciously believed that this mysterious man came from the southern continent opposite the Sea of Treasures.
While the two were drinking, the mysterious visitor from afar heard the distress in the explorer's words, so he generously proposed a deal.
Among them, the bargaining chip paid by the mysterious man is this "golden compass", and the price Gallott needs to pay is not money, life, soul and other things, but a "cowardly and comfortable" heart!
However, Galliot did not take this inexplicable price at all.
Galliot, who is determined to become a great adventurer, feels that he has never had that kind of useless thing since he went to sea, and can this illusory mood be used as a bargaining chip?
At that time, Galliot, who was still too low in extraordinary levels, didn't think much about it at all, and agreed to this seemingly cost-effective transaction without hesitation.
The subsequent development was as he wished.
The "Golden Compass" helped Galliot successfully explore the optimal route of the sea of treasures!
The Galliot family was also enthroned by the Ilia royal family and jumped into a true hereditary baron family with forty knight leaders.
It was not until a long time later that with the improvement of status and extraordinary level that Galliot, who was already a baron, learned that the "Golden Compass" was a legend of the gift from the God of the "Golden Kingdom".
As for where that "golden kingdom" is, what is the purpose of giving out these "golden compass", no one can tell who other people with compass are.
