Chapter 176 Cleo's Promise
Ethan put all his attention on the outfit on Cleo's body, carefully observed every detail, and still found a lot of differences.
"The breastplate, shoulder pads, armguards, and greaves are more like a set of light armor in terms of these structures. The lining is not that kind of close-fitting tights design, but ordinary armor that is pressed down by these parts of the armor. clothing."
After watching it for a while, Ethan had a rough judgment in his heart.
"It seems that the assassin's equipment is more advanced."
He still hasn't completely figured out what material the assassin's equipment is made of. From the feel and some surface details, it seems to be some kind of composite material.
This made him feel very speechless. If he saw this kind of thing in Tony, it would not be unusual for composite materials to appear at all, but in this world... Is the level of craftsmanship in this world so high? Or...you haven't seen the real technical level of this world at all?
He couldn't find the answer for a while, and he had put away that set of equipment for a long time. He took it out from time to time to study it. He already knew a lot about many of the above details, so he could accurately judge at this time. This set, while somewhat similar, should be the 'backward' version.
"Maybe this is the most important personal equipment for adventurers in this world."
There are still too few adventurers in contact with Ethan. The slightly higher-end one is Brent. He fought with Brent once but he didn't show his real strength. He didn't know whether Brent also had similar equipment.
However, it can be inferred from Cleo that Brent has a very high possibility of having similar equipment, perhaps similar to Cleo's set; it may also be a little better than Cleo's set of equipment, but it should not be as good as himself. The set in hand.
"The assassin's equipment is more focused on concealment. I don't know what effect this set has on Cleo?"
What is certain is that this kind of suit similar to light armor can produce a close-fitting protective energy layer. Because the assassin's equipment is more focused on concealment, the energy layer is relatively fragile, and it can be easily penetrated by Ethan. Cleo's should be Not that weak, maybe a type that is good at taking attacks from the front.
"Considering that Cleo is the captain of a ship, it is very likely that he will be attacked by the enemy during the battle. This may be very large."
Ethan did not hide his judgment, but directly told Logan and Diana next to him, letting them know what abilities the equipment on the other party might have, so as to avoid a sudden encounter with a loss due to ignorance.
"There's something so miraculous?"
Looking back at the console on the Dawn Goddess, it seems that it is not surprising that this kind of armor exists-compared to the various magic stone equipment on the ship, this purely combat equipment is easier to understand.
"Sounds good, I should get a set if I have a chance."
Logan is very interested in this kind of equipment. Although he has a self-healing factor, he doesn't care about the opponent's attack at all, but no one has the tendency to abuse himself. It hurts to be cut on the body, and it is of course better not to be injured.
"I have a set in my hand, but the effect tends to be hidden, so I guess you won't be interested."
He has kept that set of equipment, the purpose is to study the principle and structure of it, so that he can copy it in the future. Now it seems that this thing is likely to be a batch product, so he began to consider a set for all his partners. , which can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of yourself and your partners.
"Why do you have such a set of equipment?"
"From an assassin who wanted to kill me."
Logan was not interested in why there were assassins to assassinate Ethan, but Diana asked with interest, and at the same time gained a better understanding of the "sinister" of this world.
"Are you going to kill someone for such a simple reason?"
"This kind of thing doesn't just exist in this world, it's the same in many worlds."
Diana's worldview still needs to be slowly shaped, and at this time everyone's attention is focused on Cleo. Cleo, who has been firmly advancing towards the depths of the island, suddenly stopped, his state It doesn't look great.
"The energy of the armor on him fluctuated violently."
This does not require Ethan's extraordinary mental power to detect it. Anyone with eyes can see it. There are ripples flashing on Cleo's body. Diana can see it with extraordinary vision. Ao was struggling as if he was trapped by something.
Although they couldn't see the other party's expression, everyone knew that Cleo was in trouble.
"Go ahead?"
"I'll go, Diana, you are our hidden trump card now, and it's not suitable for prematurely revealing your strength."
Ethan has already met with Cleo. Properly showing his strength can let the other party understand that he is not to be messed with. If the other party wants to be unfavorable to his side on this basis, he will be stunned because he does not know Diana's strength. hit hard.
If Diana directly showed her strength, once the opponent made a move, her side would be passive because she didn't have any trump cards. So if Diana can not make a move, it is best not to make a move.
Putting on the magic suit, Ethan first took out the book of inheritance and was ready to cast a shield to protect himself. He knew that as soon as he entered the island, he would be attacked by that mysterious power.
The stretched flame wings spurted a strong airflow, slowly pushing Ethan into the air, aiming for the direction and rushing directly to Cleo.
This time, he didn't directly open the shield. How fast did he want to try this mysterious power? Will he be attacked within a certain range, or will he target specific targets? The speed of energy transfer? Reaction time? Can it be avoided? These all require testing to find out.
The result is very clear. Not long after he flew out, Ethan felt a lot of energy gathering towards him, but at present this energy could not threaten Ethan. The suit on his body also has energy protection, and the current posture can also be more flexible. , Ethan began to try to get rid of this energy attack with speed.
"When attacking a target that has invaded the range, the opponent needs to mobilize energy to chase after you avoid it, instead of being within this range, you will definitely be attacked. This proves that this kind of energy is not infinite and high-intensity. The energy also cannot cover the entire island."
The situation is not too bad. Having these materials will also help with future exploration. In addition, his speed is fast enough. This time is enough for him to fly to where Cleo is. It grabbed it, then drew a very beautiful arc in the air and flew back towards the sea.
Because of Ethan's rescue, Cleo, who had been trapped by the mysterious power, only felt light all over. When he came back to his senses, he had been caught and flew in the air. The armor on his body was enough to protect him from flying. It was affected by the airflow generated at the time, so he was able to raise his head to see who saved him. Unfortunately, Ethan was wearing a hood when he was flying, so he couldn't see Ethan's true face under the hidden magic effect.
Taking Cleo down on the deck of the Eternal, because of the strong airflow generated by the wings and the high temperature it has, the entire deck became empty when he fell, and the crew of Eternal was forced to hide in the corner. so as not to be injured by the flames.
Ethan didn't come here to demonstrate, so he put away his flame wings as soon as he landed, and turned it back into an ordinary cloak, and at the same time he lifted the hood back to reveal his face, Only then did Cleo know that it was Ethan, the captain of the Goddess of Dawn, who saved him.
"Thank you very much for your help, Captain Ethan."
"you are welcome."
Ethan's strength surprised Cleo, but he didn't bother about these matters, but hoped that Ethan could starve his crew back.
"Although I know this request is abrupt, I am willing to pay a price for it."
It's hard to judge whether Ethan is sincere or not, and he doesn't know what the price will be. For him, saving one is also saving, and saving ten is also saving. It is not a troublesome thing, let alone if he refuses , the relationship between the two parties that was good may suddenly become very bad.
"It doesn't cost anything, you wait here, I'll bring them back soon."
The huge flame wings unfolded again. The crew of the Eternal was shocked by this magical ability. Cleo was also surprised that Ethan's unremarkable hooded cloak had such magical ability. He was the first The first time I saw magic stone equipment with flying ability.
The key is that the flight speed is simply amazing!
Cleo can easily judge that with Ethan's flying speed, no ship can escape the pursuit of the Dawn Goddess captain. Completely wiped out, or they will only be wiped out by the opponent, there is no possibility of half-playing and finding that the situation is wrong and turning around and running away.
His first mate Bob also saw this, and when Ethan flew to save his crew, he got close to Cleo and reminded his captain: "Be as good as possible with this person, and with him. Being the enemy is a very unwise choice."
"I know."
Even if Bob didn't remind him, Cleo didn't want to be enemies with Ethan, and he didn't like to make enemies everywhere. His first mate knew that, so Bob just reminded him and didn't say anything else.
This is indeed the case. After Ethan rescued several crew members who had fallen into illusions back to the Eternal, Cleo showed greater enthusiasm and promised not to compete with Ethan for any items on the island, even I will do my best to help Ethan get the resources on this island.
