Chapter 6: Danger is on the horizon

Whether the Endless Land is a legend or whether it really exists, Ethan did not get a clear answer.

After completing the membership and receiving an inconspicuous pointer, Ethan was led to a special lodging for adventurers to rest.

Although there is only a separate bedroom and a small bathroom, the environment is simply paradise for adventurers who have been wandering the sea for a long time.

Clean beds, water that you can use as much as you want, and enough food to eat.

"Being able to provide these for free, this guild is even stronger than I thought. ”

Thinking back to the previous clerk, the mental power fluctuations that escaped when he used the magic stone, Ethan knew that the guy who was always smiling was definitely not an existence to be messed with.

"What's next?"

Ethan took out the magic stone that Wood had given him, the only thing on him that could be exchanged for resources. In addition, there are clothes and books that Gu Yi gave him, neither of which is valuable, and he can't exchange them for enough materials to support himself to go to sea.

"So...... I don't have a choice, do I?"

The magic stone that Wood gave him was his only hope for the next time he went to sea, and if he had to keep it, he would have to rely on water-making and food from the sea, and then hope to find the island - or the energy of time and space in the shortest possible time.

"Pin your hopes on the unknown, and it's enough to do it once. ”

And by reading the information provided by the guild, Ethan became more and more aware of what the rules of survival in this world are: adventurers collect materials in exchange for items that can improve their chances of survival, such as better ships, etc., and then find more materials with a better foundation, and then continue to improve their strength.

Such a cycle is the most basic survival rule of this sea, and it is also the rule that the adventurer's guild strives to maintain.

"Exchanging this magic stone for enough food is the bottom line, and water can not be prepared...... No, that's too conspicuous, so you still have to prepare. ”

Having set a direction to do, Ethan's brain spun as he planned what he was going to do next.

"If possible, change to another boat as soon as possible, your own boat is too poor in terms of capacity and safety, and a slightly larger wave is in danger of capsizing - even if it does not drown, it will cause a loss of supplies. ”

What is uncertain is the price of ships in this world, maybe it is not a goal that can be achieved in a short time, in which case you have to control your range of activities.

Looking at the pointer that he received before, the pointer issued by this guild looks inconspicuous, but it has a very important function - it can point to the floating and sinking islands that exist within a certain range around it, so that adventurers can find their targets more quickly.

On top of that, there is a knob on the outside of the box that points the needle in the direction of Stated Island with a slight turn, allowing adventurers to find their way home no matter how far they drive.

Putting the pointer away, Ethan continued with the simplest mental exercises, even if he didn't see any progress, he persevered, because this was the only way he knew to make himself stronger.

"The world...... It doesn't look like it's so peaceful......"

Danger, in fact, is not far away. And being a good person doesn't mean that everyone will treat you well.

"Hopefully I'm a villain......"

After a good night's rest, Ethan didn't waste any more time, and went to the guild hall to trade the magic stone in his hand as soon as possible.

He didn't choose to go to the market, because there were so many people there that he didn't have the means to protect himself, and he might not know what would happen to him.

The guild is relatively safer, even if it will be a commission and cause a loss in price.

In fact, the situation was much better than Ethan expected, and the guild did not cheat him, and even directly told him: This is a high-quality battle magic stone, which can be exchanged for enough materials and even many riches. If it was simply exchanged for food and water, it would be enough for Ethan to have no worries about food and clothing on the island for a while.

"Can you change ships?"

Instead of drawing ridicule, Ethan's inquiry drew appreciative glances from the guild members, who seemed to be more pleasing to the eye - it seemed that the guild was indeed committed to cultivating better adventurers, and was more bored with those foolish days.

Although it is not known what the hidden purpose is, the situation is more favorable to Ethan at the moment.

"How big a boat do you need?"

Ethan thought about it, he was not prepared to recruit strangers, because the matter of space-time energy is not easy to expose, especially if it lacks self-protection ability. If you're alone, you won't be able to sail too big a boat.

"It doesn't need to be too big, one person can drive, the main thing is to be able to resist some wind and waves. ”

"Then a ten-meter-long, double-decker dhow will suffice. The clerk took out a notebook from the side and asked, "Is it okay to have an old ship?" If it is an old ship, you can change it to something other than a full load of food and fresh water. ”

Ethan didn't think about it for long, it didn't matter what the old ship was, as long as it was strong and durable, after all, in his opinion, even this ship was only for transition.

"As long as it's a good boat, it doesn't matter if it's old or new. ”

"Rest assured, what can be listed by us on the list is definitely a good ship that can be used normally, and the old ships with hidden dangers will be recycled into wood by us. ”

"Wood?" Ethan's eyes lit up: "I have a small boat, do you accept it?"

"Of course, is it counted in this transaction?"

Unexpectedly, not only did he get a new boat, but he also used his own boat to 'sell' it by the way, Ethan was happy and realized that the value of this magic stone was greater than he thought.

Since he sold it, he won't regret it, and what he cares about is the title of 'magic stone for battle'.

"The world is not so peaceful. ”

Inspection, trading.

Ethan got his new ship, about ten meters long, including the deck and the bottom of the two-tiered sailboat, although the length was about the same as the original one, but the height was much higher, and the draft was much deeper, and when he found the island, he could not rush straight to it, but chose a suitable place to stop, a single mast and a sail, and the bow and stern were slightly higher, and there were two cabins, each with a small door to let him enter.

In addition to storing supplies, these two cabins can also give him a place to hide from the wind and rain. Although the space was so small that he couldn't even stand up straight, it was much stronger than the unobstructed boat before him.

In addition to the new ship and a full load of food and water, he chose some basic household items for the rest of the share, such as a low-quality fire attribute magic stone function stove, so that he could cook food at sea without risking the entire ship to be burned down in the future.

When the deal was completed and the guild men filled his new ship with food and water, he did not return to the accommodation provided by the guild, nor did he stay on the ship for the night, but left the island of Stated in a new car that had just been painted with the name 'Goddess of the Dawn'.

More than once, as he was busy handing over and loading supplies at the port, he had already felt a malicious gaze, either from a stranger he didn't know, or from one of his 'acquaintances'.

"Rodney...... Didn't see Wood, didn't know they parted ways...... Or is Wood hiding deeper?"

He really didn't want to think too badly of people, but he had no room for error, and the safest way for now was to leave the island of Stater as soon as possible and disappear from sight before anyone who had malicious intentions towards him could react. The probability of being found in the vast expanse of the sea is undoubtedly much smaller.

Everything was just as Ethan had planned, those who were watching him didn't expect him to go directly to the sea, and by the time some people reacted and called for help to chase him, he was long gone.

The few who reacted and did not have reliable ships to catch up with Ethan - these eight achievements are those who are despised by the guild members who are messing around on the island, and they can't get along and have evil intentions on Ethan, but unfortunately once they go to sea, they can't catch up with Ethan with those rotten ships in their hands. Ethan's ship, though an old one, was better than their rotten ships that had not been properly maintained.

It was only when there was no longer a shadow of Stated Island and no more ships catching up on the sea that Ethan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's safe for now. ”

Next, all he had to think about was choosing a direction and looking for floating islands that could appear at any time.

It was only before that that he habitually summoned the space-time pointer, wanting to see if his greatest reliance had 'searched' a new target.

The results did not disappoint him, and the space-time pointer, which had been displaying '...... searching', reappeared with an arrow, pointing right to his side and in front of him. What made him even more overjoyed was that compared to the triple arrows displayed in the pointer when he first went to sea, this time there was only one.

This means that the location of the space-time energy is not far from itself, and it can even be said that it is very close.

"Luck is good all of a sudden, and if you do good deeds, you will be rewarded. ”

Before the thought fell, the hands of the floating and sinking island that he had taken out began to turn, and then he quickly locked a direction and never changed again.

"Uh...... There is no target for constant shaking, and the fixed pointing is to search for the floating and sinking island...... This luck can't be stopped. ”

Ethan was just about to figure out which one to go first when he noticed that the two pointers were pointing in almost the same direction.

"Okay, let's go in this direction first, and see which one I find first. ”

Despite this chatter, Ethan still prefers more space-time energy in his heart, perhaps being able to shuttle between different planes can give him a higher sense of expectation. So in the following days, he was always adjusting the course according to the space-time hand.

"There are so many different worlds, even if I can't stay for too long, there are countless ways to make my life better in this world, and it doesn't seem impossible to even live forever and become a higher-level life!"

He didn't know how to find the endless land or something, but immortality was also extremely tempting, and it seemed to be closer to himself.

Even if it was too uncharted to think about it now, it wouldn't stop Ethan from thinking about it in his free time.

It's just that when he found the scattered space-time energy, and then used the shuttle magic circle, and then was aimed at all the vital points on his body by a group of women in leather armor with bows and arrows, this idea was thrown into the middle of nowhere.
