Chapter 126: The First Step to Inhumanity
A simple conversation allowed everyone to get to know each other basically, and the most important ones were Loki and Serena, both of whom had just arrived here, so this conversation was necessary.
After this conversation, the rest of the days became very uneventful.
Serena would find some time every day to teach Laura some basic knowledge with Diana, but Laura had also received the necessary education at the research institute at the beginning, so she was not without a foundation, which made the teaching work of the two start smoothly.
Although Laura doesn't like it, Wolverine Logan is still very authoritative in her eyes, and after being threatened: 'If you don't study well, you won't be allowed to play games', Laura can only start studying with a bitter face.
However, her learning ability is not outstanding, it is just the level of a normal child, and she only shows a high talent when she learns combat skills.
So in addition to the cultural class, a formal combat skills learning course was added, which made Diana very happy, and Serena was speechless.
In addition to teaching Laura, Serena is also learning herself. She is not like a god like Loki, who is physically and mentally powerful, and it is impossible for her to absorb the language and related knowledge of this world into her mind in an instant like Loki, she uses learning tools to learn part of it every day before going to bed, and it takes a while to completely 'learn' it, and it will take a while to completely master it.
During this time, Serena will try her best to speak to everyone in the language of this world, so that she can master this new language as quickly as possible, so as not to make herself stand out.
Serena lives a fulfilling day, but she is not used to being in the sun all day, and her skin can't stand it, so she spends most of her time hiding in the cabin to play with Laura.
During this time, the most leisurely is Logan, he is responsible for controlling the Dawning Goddess to follow the front two ships every day, he doesn't have to worry about anything else, his strong body and special self-healing factors can ensure that his body is in peak state for a long time, and he does not need to deliberately rely on exercise to maintain his state.
So during this time, only Logan was often on the deck, and Ethan spent most of his time hiding in his workshop, and he could only be seen when he was eating and exercising on the deck.
Logan didn't have any resentment about this, he knew what Ethan was doing, because Ethan didn't hide it from him.
This research is not only about the future of Ethan, but even the future of everyone on this ship. Only when Ethan successfully made that kind of potion, allowing his body to break through the limits of human beings and advance to the transcendent level, will this improvised team really have a future.
Otherwise, when Ethan's physical collapse or even physical fitness is declining, he can't support him to keep running around, and his magic doesn't reach the expected height, the small team will completely collapse.
He remembered that he had another mission, and if Ethan couldn't do it, would he want to stay, and maybe he should think about finding a suitable world for himself and Laura, and then settle down.
At the same time, if his own strength is not strong enough, or the speed of progress is not up to expectations, will that Asgardian god of trickery be so honest? I'm afraid that this guy will be the first to jump out and make trouble.
Although Logan has not been in contact with Loki for a long time, he has fully understood from Ethan what this existence is.
When it comes to Loki, although the second prince of Asgard is now honest, it is because he has his own things to do, and after he has mastered that strong frost power, Ethan's strength has not been greatly improved, and he cannot give him more 'help', Loki will not hesitate to point the scepter in his hand at his current 'partner'.
So Ethan hid and engaged in research, striving to solve his own problems in the shortest possible time, which met everyone's needs, even Diana, who didn't mind how strong Ethan was, hoped that Ethan could really take that step.
The reason is simple, she wants Ethan to live a little longer.
Only Serena didn't think about it that much, she was just enjoying her new life, and by the way, thinking about whether she would stay here forever, or leave for a new world and start a new life.
Time passed slowly, and although the days at sea were boring, when everyone had something to do, everyone found out quickly.
They had departed from the 'suicide route' and had reoriented themselves towards the central island.
At this rate, they will be able to reach the central island in a few days.
During this time, Ethan's Goddess of Dawn followed quietly, occasionally the two ships would stop side by side before the sun went down in advance, and the two sides would exchange information with each other to make sure nothing special happened.
This is also a reminder to the other party, don't suddenly have any special thoughts, and everyone keeps communicating and cooperating, so that everyone can earn money when they return to the central island.
So far, there has been no friction between the two sides, and it looks like it will be a very successful collaboration.
Just before arriving on the central island, Ethan's research finally made a breakthrough, and after an unknown number of failures, he even stopped a little to help Loki create a new scepter core that could carry frost energy. One is to stabilize Loki, and the other is to stop a little bit and rearrange your thoughts.
He made the right choice, and after stopping for a moment and reconstructing the potion from scratch, he finally succeeded.
Based on the blood of Alexander and Michael, he finally created a strengthening medicine that incorporated the blood orchid and the blood of the gods, and when he finally succeeded, he also used a large amount of inventory as auxiliary materials. For this small bottle of things, he really emptied his own family.
"Just this little bottle?"
A test tube about ten centimeters long and finger-thick, filled with a golden liquid that glows golden in the dark.
Ethan specially made a special tool to preserve this vial of potion, for fear of accidentally wasting this vial of potion.
"Yes. ”
Diana couldn't see anything special about this thing, except that it glowed, it seemed to be an ordinary bottle of liquid.
"Why don't you use it? Is there any trouble to solve?"
"Trouble?" Ethan was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Diana meant: "No, nothing troublesome, I didn't use it immediately because this thing doesn't use it that way." ”
"Didn't you drink it directly?" Diana glanced at the injection gun that was thrown aside: "It's not injected either?"
"It's not. Ethan really wants to drink it in one go, it is the easiest and most convenient, but the effect of this medicine is too strong, if you drink it directly, the huge energy contained in it will only blow himself up and not even a trace of soul residue remains: "It's for soaking." ”
"Bubbles?"
Ethan had been failing before, and one of the troublesome reasons was that the energy contained in it was too powerful, and he had to think of ways to keep the energy at a stable level, so that he could absorb it smoothly and not be 'strangled'.
But no matter what he did, he couldn't solve this problem, and then he changed his thinking, no longer bothering with one-time use, and at the same time, no longer sending energy directly into his body. This resulted in less hassle, and the final result was the flask.
"Put a drop in clean water and soak it for five hours like a bath. ”
According to his calculations, it would take him at least five hours to fully absorb the energy contained in each drop. At the same time, this slow and outside-in penetration reinforcement avoids the one-time intake of too much energy to blow yourself up.
"It's a long time, but it's safe enough. ”
More importantly, the energy in it will not be wasted in the slightest, and can be completely absorbed by itself. And with the passage of time, the time required for each immersion will gradually decrease, and the dosage used can also be gradually increased, which means that the speed of this 'transformation' will gradually increase, and the final consumption time will be much shorter than expected.
"I see. Diana nodded, then motioned for Ethan to follow, and walked over to Ethan's room.
Ethan, who was a little confused by Diana's movements, didn't know why he actually walked with him, and only reacted when he saw Diana turn directly into his bathroom.
"Wait, what are you going to do?"
"Aren't you going to soak it?" Diana looked at Ethan with her arms crossed, "You can't be disturbed while you're soaking in this, right? I'll be here to help you guard, and if something happens like this, I can drag you out in time." ”
Ethan knew this, of course, but Diana was too calm, wasn't it? And the bathroom door was so open? Although he had considered letting Diana guard it for him, it was definitely not like this.
"At least close the door, right?"
"If the door is closed, if there is an abnormality during the reinforcement, I may not be able to detect it in time. Of course, Diana didn't understand those things, she knew what Ethan was struggling with: "Don't worry, I am very familiar with your body, and it won't embarrass me." ”
“......”
Ethan wanted to say that he was the one who was embarrassed, and it was too easy to misunderstand, right? But he didn't want to dwell on this kind of thing, so he decisively put on his pants and prepared for his first reinforcement.
After putting the warm water and dripping a drop of the strengthening potion, Ethan's whole body, including his head, was immersed in the pool water that emitted a faint light.
Ethan, who was completely immersed in the water, was able to feel a huge amount of energy slowly penetrating into his body and changing something, even though he was not breathing but did not feel the slightest bit of breathlessness.
Everything went smoothly, just as he expected, except for the 'bang' that came when he couldn't move......
