Chapter 143: Meeting Brent Again

After a period of boring sailing, Ethan landed on the central island again.

Go through the port entry, unload the goods in the warehouse and store them in the personal account of the guild, resell the remaining food with clear water, contact the shipyard to carry out routine maintenance and maintenance of the Dawn Goddess, and when all these are finished, Ethan Only time to find a hotel to enjoy their own dinner and rest.

This time, I have gained a lot from the voyage. The family that has been exhausted has become rich again, and I have "spare money" in my hand. It seems that I have become more confident. Ethan directly asked the shipyard to expeditiously handle his ship, so that he You don't have to wait in line, otherwise you don't know how long it will take to get your boat, and how much time is wasted out of thin air.

After a good night's rest, Ethan wandered around the island.

This time, he deliberately changed the direction to stop and land, and by the way, he was familiar with the situation in this area. As a result, he found that the layout of the central island was obviously interfered with by planning. The distribution of shops in this area is roughly the same as that in the previous area.

Shops, hotels, etc. are all concentrated in relatively fixed areas. Even if there is a difference, there is little difference. After you are generally familiar with one area, you will not find the shop you are looking for when you go to another direction.

It is simply unrealistic to expect shopkeepers to do this spontaneously. It can only be because a powerful person or force requires them to do so.

"guild?"

The most likely one could only be the guild, which became more and more mysterious in Ethan's eyes.

After realizing this situation, Ethan did not give up going to the other two directions that he had not been to. Although there is such speculation, he still has to see it with his own eyes. Considering that the maintenance of the Dawn Goddess will take some time, he is also idle when he is idle, so he takes advantage of this time to turn the entire island again.

The end result was the same as he guessed, the only surprise was that Ethan bumped into Brent on the island.

"You really came to this sea area, but it was later than I thought."

This adventurer, who also has a good reputation in this sea area, was very happy when he saw Ethan, and very warmly invited Ethan to sit down and chat with him.

"I've been here for a while, but haven't been on the island much, this time because my boat is undergoing maintenance."

Ethan crossed the stormy waters, arrived at the central island for the first time, and then went to sea again, staying on that island for several months, even if not counting the time spent in Paradise Island and the Caribbean Sea, Lin Lin always spent more than a year here. .

In addition to the time in the Sea of ​​Tranquility, even if the time spent in other worlds is not counted, Ethan, who went to sea at the age of seventeen, is now in his twenties, and the tenderness on his face has long since disappeared, which is enough. The experience has made his temperament a lot calmer.

Diligent practice and adequate nutrition have also allowed him to catch up with the last train of his own development, and his body no longer looks so thin. He may not realize this, but it took a long time to see Ethan's Brent again. But he could clearly see the changes in his body.

"You're getting stronger."

"I would also like to thank you for your mercy back then." Ethan was not someone who didn't know what to do. He was able to kill Gino at Brent's hands, and the big reason was that Brent didn't do his best.

Brent didn't want to get entangled on this topic, and directly asked Ethan's recent situation, if there was anything he didn't understand, and if you needed help, you could go to him directly.

"It's okay for now, I'm gradually getting used to the life here."

Although the three views of the two people are quite different, the other party expresses goodwill very clearly. Ethan can't give people a face, so he expresses his gratitude very sincerely.

"That's good. Seeing more and more outstanding adventurers, I feel that the future is full of hope."

Ethan turned the cup on the table gently, not knowing how to answer the topic.

For the situation in this sea area, I already had a lot of understanding through Philip. However, Philip was only more familiar with the sea area near the central island, and the two extended sea routes only talked to Ethan about it.

Brent has always maintained goodwill to all adventurers, provided help to new adventurers, and was committed to uniting all adventurers. It must be because those two routes are too dangerous, so he must unite all forces that can be united. But how dangerous is it? Even a strong man like Brent has to choose this method?

This question has always been buried in Ethan's heart, and now that I bumped into Brent, I just happened to ask.

"What exactly are the two routes?"

Ethan's question made Brent understand that this young man was indeed living a good life in this sea area, and even started to take aim at those two routes.

Brent originally wanted to persuade Ethan to let him live in this sea area for a while now, accumulate his own wealth, and get used to this sea, and don't think about those two routes for the time being.

Because this sea and the calm sea are completely different worlds.

Compared to this place, the Sea of ​​Calm is like a lake. It is very calm as the name suggests. There are no complicated sea conditions. Occasionally the next light rain and some strong winds are a big trouble.

In this environment, even a small boat of about three meters can sail back and forth at will on the calm sea.

It is different here, with the changeable environment, complex ocean currents and more violent wind and rain. When many adventurers crossed the stormy sea and came here, they thought it was the same sea area as the previous calm sea, so they lost their lives. Not a few.

But after noticing Ethan's eyes, Brent changed his mind.

This young man doesn't seem to be influenced by the words of outsiders to his own personality, and since he has lived in this sea area for a while, he must have a clear understanding of the situation here, since he can ask himself those two This can be inferred from the circumstances of the route.

"Those two routes will become more and more dangerous as they go deeper."

In this case, it is better to let Ethan know the situation of those two routes. If he is determined to attack those two routes, he can also have enough understanding and be fully prepared in advance.

"Complex ocean currents, variable climates, and increasingly scarce resources."

Changes in water current and wind direction will directly affect the sailing conditions of sailboats, and the climate will also bring a lot of trouble to adventurers. According to Brent's description, what kind of climate will appear on those two routes, maybe before. It was still sailing under the high temperature of 40 degrees for a period of time, and then it would rush into an area of ​​minus 30 degrees.

It is not that storms and blizzards have been raging in turn, and the wind direction is irregular. One second sailing with the wind, the next moment there may be no wind at all.

If this is just a trouble in navigation, then it is possible to find an island after half a year of sailing, which is a huge crisis in survival.

"There is only one unsinkable island like the Central Island in this sea area. You know that."

Ethan nodded. If the central island is the starting point, the further you sail on those two routes, the farther you will be from the central island. If you can't find the floating and sinking islands on the road to replenish enough supplies, then you will be exhausted if you can't reach the destination. Food starved to death at sea.

However, it is not easy to find floating and sinking islands on these two routes, and even if there are floating and sinking islands in some areas, you cannot find them in advance with the pointer, and sometimes it is purely by luck.

"Magnetic interference?"

Ethan always thought that the island pointer issued by the guild would not be disturbed, but now it does not seem to be the case, but there is no environment that can interfere with the pointer in the calm sea.

"besides……"

For Brent, although these troubles are difficult, they are not a big problem. The biggest trouble is that food and supplies are not easy to replenish. If a large enough fleet is formed, then if all food and supplies are fully loaded, it is not impossible to get from the central island. Straight to the end of the route.

With Brent's reputation, it seems that it is not impossible to gather a group of adventurers, so Ethan believes that there must be more troubles, otherwise why does Brent single-mindedly hope that the more excellent adventurers the better? ?

"Besides that, the biggest trouble on the route is all kinds of monsters."

"monster?"

This sea area is enough to give birth to all kinds of creatures, and there are creatures on many islands, such as Xiao Ou, who was caught and kept as a pet.

Xiao Ou doesn't seem to be lethal, but in fact it is a special creature that uses magic stones as food and can use the energy contained in it.

So it's not surprising that there are more ferocious and powerful creatures? Then these creatures will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble for adventurers.

Considering the long voyage and the consumption of food and water, the number of crew members must be controlled within an appropriate number, and a large amount of food means a reduction in weapon reserves.

There are not many people and they can't carry a lot of weapon supplies. It seems that only enough powerhouses can be gathered to cope with this situation. It's no wonder that Brent has always wanted more good adventurers to appear.

This is not the end. What Brent said next directly negated the idea of ​​avoiding these monsters as much as possible in Ethan's mind.

Many of these monsters who were born on the route and lived here have the ability to fly or move in the sea. They also need to find food to maintain their own survival-the goal of these monsters is the few floating islands. And adventurers who want to pass through this sea.

Therefore, adventurers not only have to face various harsh sea conditions, but also face the competition and hunting of monsters. Only if they can solve all the problems perfectly, can they reach the end of the route - and then go to the end of the road with scars. The impact of the more terrifying storm waters.

"Sounds like suicide."
