Chapter 3: The Victims
Ethan didn't have to dwell on it for too long before making a choice, he decided to make all the remaining potions into potions, and boost his mental power in one go.
The substantial increase in spiritual power can directly improve his strength, and now he has created a lot of magic equipment, all of which are based on spiritual power in order to exert their due power, although the mental power used in each is not amazing, but when used together, it will cause a certain burden to themselves, and increasing the total amount of mental power can make their combat effectiveness more durable.
Unable to sleep anyway, Ethan got up and left the bedroom and entered the workshop.
In this brand-new Dawning Goddess, Ethan's captain's cabin is connected to his own independent bedroom and a dedicated workshop, which almost occupies most of the space on this floor, but considering that the whole ship is alone, it is useless to leave space, it is better to use it and divide it into rooms for various purposes.
Enough space can also make Ethan's journey more comfortable, and he doesn't want to live the kind of days when he sleeps on a cramped deck without a roof.
When conditions permit, he prefers to live a more comfortable life, and the open space can keep him in a good mood. A good mood would make him work much more efficient, and in this spacious workshop, Ethan quickly made a small bottle of the improved potion that was left in his hand.
The effect is simple and has no side effects, as long as one bottle, Ethan can once again improve his mental strength. And because he had used cigarettes made of this drug for a long time before, his spiritual power had thoroughly analyzed all the characteristics of this spiritual power, so even if he added an extra section of spiritual power, he didn't have to worry that his spirit would be polluted by this sudden increase in spiritual power.
"I wonder if I will have a viral immunity constitution after taking this bottle of medicine?"
The raw materials of this bottle of potion were retained by Ethan by magic to retain all the positive effects, in addition to the additional increase in mental power, it would more or less allow his body to get some benefits.
For example, let his growth period be appropriately extended, his physical strength will be improved, and his resistance to viruses will become stronger.
It is unclear to what extent he is immune, and it is estimated that some relatively weak viruses will hardly affect him, which also means that Ethan is less likely to get sick than ordinary people.
Taking a bite of the potion into his mouth, Ethan took a sip of his mouth and found that this thing was actually a little sweet, but unfortunately there were no more materials, otherwise he could make a few more bottles and put them in his belt, so that he could use them when the mental consumption was too large during the battle, and it was not bad to use it simply as a recovery potion.
Feeling the potion kick in, Ethan walked out of the workshop and sat down at the desk in the captain's room and read the book quietly.
The night passed so peacefully, when the sun slowly rose and illuminated the cabin, Ethan felt that the effect of the potion was also slowly dissipating, and the increase in mental power made his spirit very good, and reading a book for a night did not affect him in any way.
Although his current physical fitness is still within the range of a normal person, his strong mental power has begun to affect his body in turn, and he can now keep his energy on the normal line even if he doesn't sleep, and his physical condition will not decline in all aspects because he has not rested.
"It's a pity that the physical fitness is still not strong enough. ”
He can only guarantee that he can maintain a normal state without sleeping, not to ensure that he is in the best condition, that still needs to sleep and rest to adjust, and if he wants to go further, he needs to find a way to solve the problem of physical fitness.
Magicians have developed a variety of ways to improve their physical fitness.
Those who use magic to transform their bodies make them equally powerful in their bodies, some use the time of rest to get their 'souls' out of their bodies, and when they ensure that their bodies can rest, powerful spirits can still learn new knowledge and even conduct experiments, and the most powerful ones should be those who have completely abandoned their bodies, some of them have transformed themselves into pure elemental creatures, and some have transformed into undead creatures such as lichs, freed from the shackles of their bodies.
Ethan only favors the first of these methods, but there is no fixed method for this method, and many magicians create a magic based on their own situation, and it is not suitable for anyone. In addition, they are also very cautious about this magic, because it is related to their own secrets, and if it is obtained by the enemy, it is likely to study their own weaknesses. No mage would teach this kind of magic to anyone else, and Ethan naturally couldn't learn it.
His current knowledge of magic mainly comes from the Ancient One and Merlin, of which the Ancient One uses magical energy to strengthen himself and increase his lifespan at the same time, this method he already understands, but it is not suitable for the path he is taking now.
As for Merlin...... People are the type of people who are so talented that they are speechless, and they don't need to think about this problem at all.
Walking to the deck, Ethan did a few simple activities, then lifted anchor and hoisted the sails, and drove the Dawning Goddess in a random direction.
He didn't need to look in any direction, he drove in the opposite direction of the stormy sea first, and then paid attention to the island pointer on the way, and if he found the target, it was the best, and if he couldn't find it, he would continue sailing in another direction.
The next few days were calm and uneventful, and Ethan lived a very regular life every day.
Wake up early to get a good idea of how your boat is doing, and then lift anchor and set sail. In the process of sailing, exercise, read and study without delay, occasionally think of a fish or something to improve the food, or change your own equipment to familiarize yourself with the practical application of these equipment.
He found that after his mental power increased significantly, the power of his equipment was really exerted, before his spiritual power could barely drive these equipment, but he could not maximize the full power, always felt almost meaningful, at this time it was considered to show the power he thought of when he designed.
For example, the bracers controlled by the two water elements, before he wanted to use this pair of bracers, not only did he need to concentrate, but at the same time, the mobilization of the water element was very slow, and it would always seem half a beat slower to apply to the actual battle.
After his mental power was enhanced, he only needed one thought, and the water elemental would quickly gather in his hand, and then change into various forms to attack or defend according to his wishes.
For example, when he used the cloak to fly, it would be a little difficult to use his mental power to control other props, but at this time, he can use his staff well to attack spells, and it will not affect the stability of the flight.
"If I knew that the effect was so good, I should have made it into a potion and drank it. ”
But after thinking about it, if you hadn't used the cigarettes made by that potion for a long time, let your mental power adapt to the characteristics of this spiritual power little by little, and recklessly make the potion and drink it, maybe you would have caused a lot of trouble for yourself - can the sudden increase in xenomorphic spiritual power really be perfectly absorbed by yourself?
"Maybe, but it will be wasted for a long time. ”
After all, it was a potion that had been improved many times by removing a lot of side effects, and it might cause some trouble, but it didn't hurt the root cause, but in this case, things went back to square one.
The end result of these two methods is similar and the time consumed seems to be about the same, so I really can't see which option is better.
Ethan has a headache, and it is better to be cautious when he finds a new drug that can increase mental strength in the future.
There are several drugs in the target, and all of them can be obtained in large quantities, considering the situation of his own mental power, Ethan decided to continue at the current pace.
First make some drugs with relatively small medicinal effects to let your mental power slowly adapt, and then make a medicine that can greatly improve your mental power at one time.
Come to think of it, this is the safest and most rewarding way.
When he was bored, he began to guess which material he would get first? Just as he was looking at the sea in a daze, he noticed a small dot in front of him, which seemed to be a small boat?
"Is there such a small ship in this sea?"
Taking out the binoculars, Ethan looked in the direction of the boat, only to realize that it was an escape boat, and there were only three people on board, one of whom was waving his hands to his side, probably trying to get his attention.
Ethan followed this direction, extending his gaze into the distance, and did not see anything special, except that a few pieces of wood wreckage could occasionally be seen on the surface of the sea, which may be related to these people.
Turning the steering wheel to adjust the direction, Ethan did not turn a blind eye as not seeing, for no special reason, Ethan's three views are still full of righteousness, and he is very willing to lend a helping hand to those in distress - of course, if some idiots want to bite back, he also has the means to make this kind of guy regret doing this kind of thing.
After two years of sailing career, Ethan certainly would not make mistakes such as overdriving and slowing down in time, and perfectly parked the boat not far in front of the dinghy, leaving them some distance to avoid being overturned by the waves brought by the big boat.
After coming to a stop, Ethan went to the side of the boat and lowered the rope ladder, and then watched as several people rowed the boat to the side of the boat and climbed up the ladder one by one.
"Saved!"
The first person to come up did not celebrate his rescue immediately, but turned around to help the people behind him get on the boat, which also made Ethan look at him a few more times.
It wasn't until the last man had climbed up that several people collapsed on the deck, and the first man to come up barely stood up and thanked Ethan.
"Thank you very much for your help, I'm Philip, the first mate of the Advance, and these two are our observer Stephen and Combat Captain Sean. ”
"Hello, welcome aboard the Aurora, I'm Captain Ethan. ”
