Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 688 - 592: New Functions and Warship Refinement

The unnamed island on the edge of the Polar Circle.

Summer God Niord ultimately did not completely forget this place.

Even if only low-level plants could tenaciously survive, they still adorned this forbidden zone for most life with vibrant vitality, and quite a few even bloomed brightly.

In one corner of the island, watching Jacob and Kael lay out a row of plant specimens on the ground, Aiven quietly activated "Data Visualization," and rows of information quickly flashed across his eyes.

"Stemless Flytrap: Cushion-shaped herbaceous plant, growing on the ground like a red and green mound, dense cushions up to 30 centimeters tall; narrow pink flowers, somewhat resembling carnation-like organisms; primarily grows in well-drained gravelly areas."

"Quadrangular Rock Beard: Short evergreen semi-shrub, typically 5-25 centimeters tall, with a milky white wide bell-shaped corolla.

I have also seen Short Stem Rock Beard, Silver Hair Rock Beard, Eyelash Rock Beard, Broom Rock Beard, etc., and named them, suspecting these plants share a common ancestor."

"Ice Land Saxifrage: Approximately 6 centimeters high, with purple, narrow obovate spoon-shaped petals about 12 millimeters long. The flower resembles a rose, suspected to be related."

"..."

Aiven read aloud while Jacob beside him took notes, labeling each specimen.

This moment was not Aiven suddenly gaining the wisdom of the "God of Wisdom," but rather the beneficial help provided by the newly added feature of "Data Visualization."

After exchanging the fourth volume of "Flesh Sacrifice" with the Kingfisher in the mysterious "Turin Grand Library" and successfully returning to the Material World, he discovered that his name and personal information were all protected by the library, leaving only exchanged knowledge.

Aside from the name "Kingfisher," not only were the faces and traits of borrowers he encountered forgotten, but even the internal structure of the "Turin Grand Library" had completely slipped from Aiven's memory.

If not for the tangible "Living Ship Spirit Technique" in his mind, he would have almost believed it was all a dream.

However, due to that transaction, Aiven received an additional gift from the "Turin Grand Library"—[General Knowledge]!

Aiven previously checked the library's directory of the fourth volume and some content to verify the Kingfisher's words were true. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

And since the knowledge of the second volume had already leaked, Aiven simply packed and sent out the research findings from the "Mechanical Immortality School."

Then the Kingfisher determined: After excluding the library's existing knowledge, the remaining part was not equivalent, with a considerable discrepancy. Realizing he had no room to negotiate, Aiven reviewed his knowledge system and reluctantly sent [Mythical Language: Ancient Code] too.

This was a consolation prize from the "Maze Game," which allowed him to avoid interference from chaotic rules when accessing knowledge especially technological knowledge of Ancient Gods.

It once helped Aiven successfully parse the "Steel Refining Blast Furnace Technology," laying the foundation for the development and expansion of "Steel City," making significant contributions.

For the "Turin Grand Library," dedicated to collecting knowledge, if the research findings from the "Mechanical Immortality School" were "fish," then [Mythical Language: Ancient Code] was a "net."

This language from Ancient Gods enabled parsing vast amounts of previously headache-inducing ancient divine cities without side effects, with invaluable worth.

So, besides the promised beacon and borrowing credentials.

Aiven also received "real-time" viewing rights for the public zone of the first layer of the library, and this spiritual-level permission linked with "Data Visualization," integrated within the powerful spiritual strength of the Upper-Rank Wizard.

It was like loading an external database, allowing him to call permissions to consult the encyclopedia anytime without entering the Spirit Realm.

The natural knowledge Aiven narrated now came from the book "A Naturalist's Black Sea Travelogue on the Beagle." Though not mystical knowledge, the recorder was a formal Wizard, knowledgeable and well-informed.

The library contained many similar works, as if standing on the shoulders of giants, giving wings to Aiven and the "Vitalist School," dramatically reducing research time.

However, Aiven felt a bit regretful that although the first layer had a scant description of the "Broken Star Sea" on the west side of the New Continent, none helped his understanding of Lady Kingfisher, the library's treasure itself, or the "Holy Stone Council" she mentioned.

After all, it was a place he would inevitably visit, at least from now it seemed far from being backward like Atrean People on the New Continent, and the development of Wizard Organizations was unexpectedly advanced.

Meanwhile, behind the three individuals organizing specimens.

Clap! Clap! Clap!...

Calvin and Kvarina Bach were fiercely battling, their wooden swords turning into a ferocious storm, the fierce whistling enough to make one's scalp tingle, sufficient to break the bones and tendons of a boar.

The wild boy's surname came from his Atlantean father, while his first name was from his Koyak mother. Both peoples lived in icy and snowy environments, with the harsh conditions instilling resilience in their bloodline, inherited by Bach.

Even in the face of adversity in the duel, taking hits multiple times, he did not retreat a single step.

Lately, Aiven occasionally visited the island to chat with the wild boy living alone, bringing some living supplies and food from the civilized world.

Like taming a highly vigilant wild beast, he gradually lowered his guard.

For Aiven now, even crossing continents required little time.

The disciples frequenting him also began to familiarize themselves with him.

However, Aiven never brought Olivia and Angie here, as the harsh environment of the Polar Circle wasn't very friendly to girls; as for the boys, well... who cares?

Now fifteen-year-old Calvin had reached the Peak of Apprentice Knight, with the activation of his spiritual strength, completing the Official Knight promotion posed no difficulty, and under Aiven's guidance, he also mastered [White Sail Swordsmanship].

But it must be said that geniuses indeed exist in this world, like the wild boy Bach, excelling equally in body, agility, and strength.

Perhaps his parents unexpectedly died when he was young, he only learned a bit of [Frost Wolf Swordsmanship] from his father, but in numerous practices with Calvin, his swordsmanship improved rapidly.

As long as Calvin did not exert full force, they engaged in evenly matched battles.

Having completed the work at hand, Aiven clapped his hands and called out to the students:

"Let's go, once the specimens are collected, we'll head back. Anyone who isn't interested in witnessing the birth of a 'Legendary Battleship' firsthand can stay here and play for a couple more days."

To begin analyzing the "Life Tree" from a simple ecosystem and to test the new functionality [General Knowledge] capability, Calvin, Jacob, and Kael have been staying here for two days. Aiven stopped by to take them back.

At this moment.

After nearly a month of relentless efforts from him and Angie, various raw materials have been activated according to the knowledge from the fourth volume, meeting the conditions for building the "Legendary Battleship," thus reaching the crucial step from blueprint to reality.

Witnessing such a grand project is immensely beneficial for every wizard in the "Vitalist School," so they, of course, couldn't be absent. After bidding farewell to Bach, they all hurried to Aiven's side.

Swish—

In Wild Kid's deeply hidden envy, they instantly disappeared from the spot.

This time, leaving without asking Kvarina Bach if he wanted to come along, the strategy was to appear unattainable, deciding to leave him hanging for a while.

The timing was about right; the next visit would be the time to reap the fruits.

...

The bright moon gradually rose.

At the port of Hatrafa, inside the expanded giant shipyard.

The exterior dark and cold iron-hued, yet in the "Spiritual Vision" gleaming with spiritual light, the "Treasure Tree" has been neatly piled into a mountain.

At this moment, all the wizards gathered here could feel these extraordinary ship materials as if they were replanted into the earth, breathing rhythmically with life, full of vitality.

This is precisely the magical power from the fourth volume in [Witchcraft: Activation].

[Whole Body Activation Technique (Living Ship Spirit Technique)] comprises a series of large-scale creation technologies: [Wizard Tower Design], [Witchcraft Garden Structure], [Activated Maze], [Positional Witchcraft], [Large-Scale Constructed Body Building], [Activation], [Energy Core], [System Integration]...

And nearly all are logistical skills, representing the peak of a certain era's "productivity" and "witchcraft creation level," with great reference value for other schools. Because it doesn't involve the fundamental mysterious source, it won't negatively impact one's own path.

Even without requiring any additional processing, "Treasure Tree," this extraordinary material, is one of the best materials for building a "Legendary Battleship."

Its natural wood density is tight, strength comparable to special steel, but density only one-twentieth of pure iron's 7800kg/m³, possessing all ideal traits desired by ship engineers.

In the wizard's view, it possesses excellent extraordinary adaptability, greatly benefitting the "Legendary Battleship's" final "Extraordinary Transformation."

The only drawback is that, with current technological levels, unless assisted by witchcraft or divine art, it's almost impossible for humans to process it.

But for the "Vitalist School," this poses no problem at all.

The complex technique orbit of [Superlimit Ceremony: Activation of Skillful Hands] in the shipyard, has been completely formed in the hands of Aiven and Angie.

An eight-meter-diameter perfect circle passes through five small circles adorned with spiritual text, each interlinked, forming a complex rune array with densely packed spiritual text.

They respectively represent the four basic elements in alchemical foundations: Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, and the fifth element "Soul."

Each small circle contains various "Spiritual" items corresponding to the elements.

Fire Element, a 6-pound cannon; Water Element, Golden Cup; Earth Element, a polished, clearly frequently traded Golden Lion; Wind Element, Thunder Fang Longsword.

In the circle representing "Soul," Angie, wearing pure white wizard robes with silver hair tied into a high ponytail with a blue ribbon, has replaced Milan's position.

Confirming the time has come, watched by Olivia, Nymph, and a group of school apprentices.

Angie exchanged a glance with Aiven, standing in the circle's center, and simultaneously raised their arms, chanting vast segments of curse imbued with infinite vitality in unison.

The unified chanting echoed and resonated throughout the shipyard.

Then, both of their spirits instantly elevated, connecting with an entity possessing colossal power, though devoid of self-awareness.

Boom!

A roar in their minds.

That is the mysterious source of the "Vitalist School," existing within the world root source, the "Life Tree."

sta—

The final spiritual text uttered, led by Aiven with key-shaped emblem shining on his forehead, upper-rank wizard's seemingly limitless magic power and activated spiritual light jointly poured into the rune array beneath.

Strings of characters, lines of patterns illuminated sequentially.

Hoo—!

Translucent emerald green light like jade burst forth, instantly shrouding the mountain-like piled "Treasure Tree" in the shipyard.

Battleship forging... activation!
