The Great Age of Voyage of the Elves

Chapter 7 Vice Admiral
Mu's second visit to the Governor's Mansion went smoothly, perhaps because the Governor's relationship with his father was really strong when he was young.

Anyway, after being courteous and accepting the gift, the governor wrote a letter of recommendation for him and gave him a token: a beautiful fiery red feather.

The next day, Mu arrived at a naval base near York Harbor with the governor's letter and feathers.

The Kingdom's Third Fleet is stationed here. It is not a particularly elite main fleet, but it is close.

The six ultimate dreams of modern social animals: more money, less work, closer to home, high position, weight and light responsibility, here is at least one of them.

After arriving at the port base, Mu notified his intention to come, and presented the letter of recommendation and token from Governor Wellington.

After that, he waited around the perimeter of the base for more than two hours before he was summoned.

Following the leading marine soldiers all the way to the general's office on the tower in the middle of the base, the person who met Mu here was Lieutenant General Samas, one of the top commanders currently staying at the base.

When Mu opened the door and came in, Samas happened to be handing the feather given by the Governor to Charmander, who was lying on his stomach and taking a nap.

The little Charmander, who was sleeping on the ground in the morning, raised his head lazily, sniffed it with his nose, and then unceremoniously sprayed a spark at the feather.

"Forehead?"

Seeing this, Mu just wanted to stop it.

As a result, at the next moment, I saw the feather bathed in fire and exploded immediately, and then magically exploded a fiery red windmill chrysanthemum pattern in mid-air.

Seeing this, Samas said casually, "It's indeed Wellington's token."

Mu quickly stopped speaking.

Fortunately, I didn't have time to speak just now.

The magical fantasy world can always bring him some unexpected surprises from time to time.

Then Samas turned around, put one hand on the long table beside him, tilted his head, and looked at Mu with scrutiny.

"I already know the reason for your visit, but I'm just curious, why would the son of an earl suddenly want to join the navy on his own initiative?"

The lieutenant general's tone was indifferent and his expression was cold, in stark contrast to Governor Wellington who had warmly received Mu twice before.

Mu had expected this kind of cold reception, with a calm expression and a steady answer.

"Because I yearn for the sea, General. The bravery and fearlessness of the navy has always fascinated me. I believe this will be a more suitable stage for me."

Mu Xiaoxiao flattered him, but it was a pity that the effect could not be seen for a while, and the lieutenant general's expression remained indifferent.

The discord between the navy and the inland nobles has long been an open secret in the kingdom, and it is not worth making a fuss about.

With the advent of the age of great voyages, the status of the navy has been rising steadily, and a large number of high-level naval officers have been awarded knighthoods for their military exploits. This has undoubtedly greatly impacted the detached status of the traditional nobles.

On the other hand, in recent years, the royal family seems to be deliberately using the power of the navy to gather its own power, which intensifies the conflict between the two parties. How can those old nobles who have been emperors of the land for hundreds of years in their hereditary fiefdoms willingly hand over power?Therefore, this rift is destined to only get bigger and bigger.

To some extent, Mu's current actions are betraying his own camp!

That's why he needed to write a letter home to report first, and then find the governor of the port to introduce himself on his behalf.

But even so, it is still not so smooth to break into the "enemy camp".

"Longing for the sea? This is not what a nobleman of your age should have."

A smile finally leaked from the corner of the lieutenant general's mouth, but that smile was quite playful.

For a while, Mu wanted to complain: What's wrong with my age?Can't a young man of my age yearn for power?Of course, Naizi is also my desire, but this does not conflict...

"Could you have committed something in the interior?" The lieutenant general asked suddenly.

"Nothing, General."

Just as Mu turned his head quickly, thinking about how to respond politely without embarrassment, Samas suddenly changed the subject without warning.

"So, kid, do you have elves?"

"Yes, I have a Chenglong."

"Ride a dragon, good elf, then, come with me."

Samas got up and grabbed a Poké Ball on the table.

This sudden change made Mu a little puzzled for a while.

Subconsciously, he quickly followed.

After leaving the office, Mu Zai couldn't help asking: "General, where are we going?"

"Of course it is to find a place to have an elf battle. As long as you have the strength, our navy welcomes you."

At the end, he did not forget to add, "Don't worry, even if you commit a crime in the interior, those people in your family will not be able to catch up with the sea. Those grandpas can only show their status in the interior, and the sea is not a place where they can intervene."

Mu listened to a black thread behind him.

Why did you already acquiesce in committing a crime?I'm here to be a navy, not a pirate! Hey!
But the complaints belong to the complaints, and the current handling method still makes him breathe a sigh of relief.

Fairy duel?He is not afraid of this!It's not in vain that he specially prepared for more than a week before coming to visit after practicing the Hinayana dragon.

Compared with the inland high society's communication style of frequently comparing family history, titles, and ancestral glory, it is true that the navy's style of talking about strength is more to his liking.

Originally, he was still worried that this visit would encounter a lot of difficulties, but the development in front of him seemed to be unexpectedly smooth, which made him even hesitate for a while whether he should clarify the fact that he did not commit any crime.

Then Samas took Mu to an open area behind the base.

This place is close to the seaside, and the terrain is higher than the sea level, but at the same time, a large depression was man-made in the center of the open space, and a large pool was formed by drawing in the seawater.

When he came to the pool, Samas threw the elf ball and called out his elf—Gotha Duck.

A kind of duck-headed elf with a blue body, upright legs, webbed feet, and a humanoid shape as a whole.

"Come on, boy who yearns for the sea, let me see your elf strength."

Samas spoke very directly.

As a general who has fought at sea for more than [-] years and climbed up from the bottom step by step with his military exploits and strength, Samas can't play with the vain etiquette and politeness of the upper-class nobles. His style has always been straightforward.

Now that you've met your eyes, let's have an exciting duel!

Okay, it's a Pokémon! (In the Pokémon series games, as long as you enter the NPC's sight in the wild, the battle will be triggered forcibly)

Mu also became high-spirited.

"Then it's up to you, Chenglong!"

He raised his arms excitedly and threw the poke ball, shouting the line he had been looking forward to since time travel.

"Wow!"

Immediately after Chenglong played the ball, he raised his head and neighed.

It tastes so right!comfortable~
But then -

Under Samas' bewildered gaze, Mu moved awkwardly to the pool and whispered.

"Well, Chenglong, dive to the bottom of the pool first, and bring me back my elf ball."

Reality has solved a doubt that has plagued Mu for many years before time travel——

Is it really necessary to throw the ball when summoning the elf?

The answer is: no, unless you can throw a pokeball out of a boomerang effect, that would be really stupid...
