Chapter 99: Farewell to Arthur
Merlin was very satisfied with Ethan, and in the following period of time, His Excellency the Great Magician first tested Ethan very carefully, and then gave guidance on his current situation.
"Your mental power is now on the right track, if you start extracting external magical energy and converting it into your own magic now, then you can immediately become a good mage. ”
Merlin's vision is very high. What he said is good, that's really good, such a comment can make many people think highly of Ethan, even not limited to this world.
"The spiritual power cultivation method in that Book of Inheritance must continue to be adhered to. ”
I pointed out the way to you before, and it's up to you where you can go, and I won't interfere too much. Now that Arthur is making such progress, he doesn't mind mentioning it more, and even giving some obvious hints.
In addition, Merlin found that Ethan still has some talent, and he can make progress in such a short period of time, and he has found a suitable means of saving his life in another way, which makes Merlin have a lot higher evaluation of him - Merlin has seen those magic props, and many of them have very good ideas, the key is that it is very suitable for the current Ethan, and it can allow Ethan to exert combat effectiveness far beyond the actual level.
"I'm not going to tell you how to improve these items, but by using them yourself, and then constantly improving them is also a kind of magic practice, he will let you organize your magic and knowledge in more detail, and let you notice problems that you didn't notice before. ”
At the beginning, Merlin made it clear that he would not help Ethan improve and make magic items, but he could answer any questions he had when making magic items.
With such a super magician by his side to personally guide him, Ethan took out all the problems that had accumulated before.
He had asked a lot of questions from Gu Yi before, and Gu Yi helped him solve most of them. But there is another part, because of the different paths taken, the ancient one can only give some of his own opinions more objectively, and what exactly is still up to Ethan himself to try to discern for himself.
The same is true of Merlin, who does not directly give the so-called 'right answers' to many questions, but gives some ideas and then lets Ethan try them himself.
Even so, Ethan had solved a lot of problems, and he could feel that his path of magic was smoother. Especially his own equipment, many details of things he didn't deal with very well before, now that he is here, there is no shortage of materials and there is a super magician town, he has almost improved and upgraded his set of equipment.
Fortunately, when he made it, he knew that his technology was not good enough, leaving a lot of room for improvement and upgrading, and did not directly finalize these props. In retrospect, it was the right choice.
"It may not be possible to do the most of what it can do now, but it preserves the future. ”
In addition to upgrading all the equipment on his body to become more powerful, Ethan's biggest gain is the way he uses space energy.
Ethan used spatial energy to craft things like a combat belt that could carry more ammo, potions, and even grenades, and that combat suit also used spatial energy to make it easy for him to change outfits at any time.
Other than that, he didn't dare to use it indiscriminately, but just delved into the characteristics of spatial energy, hoping to be able to master this energy thoroughly.
Merlin helped him immensely in this regard, finally allowing him to create the first piece of space equipment that could actually be used for storage.
"Because it's a simple space equipment, the internal time flow rate will be completely synchronized with you, and it can't be stationary. ”
Ethan looked at the ordinary ring on his hand, which he had created under the guidance of Merlin, using his experience gained from studying spatial energy for a long time, and the magical knowledge he had accumulated over the years.
"At present, it can only hold one cubic meter of objects, but I can use the space energy in my hand to continuously expand the internal space, which can theoretically grow indefinitely. ”
Merlin smiled and nodded, this thing is the result of teaching during this time, although Ethan is far inferior to himself or even some other mages he is familiar with in terms of talent, but his brain is flexible enough to make good use of the knowledge he has mastered, if he changes to other young mages, he may be able to barely make a one-time stereotyped space equipment under his teaching, and there will be no possibility of further improvement.
"Being able to actively and intentionally leave room for upgrades proves that you know that your abilities are still lacking, and maintaining this humble attitude can make your path of magic smoother. ”
"Thank you very much for your guidance. ”
"You deserve it. ”
Upgrading the combat suit, solving a lot of magical doubts, and even creating his first space storage equipment, Ethan's harvest this time is no less than that in the Marvel Universe, these two plane trips seem to have been taking benefits, making him happy and almost wondering if he is having a sweet dream.
With everything in order, the harvest here in Merlin is considered to be the end of it.
He took Arthur around to increase his knowledge, making Arthur grow more mature and more like a good heir to the throne, and Merlin personally guided him for a while in return, helping him solve a lot of his own problems, and this time the transaction can be regarded as completely over.
The space-time energy in his body was about to reach the bottom line, and even if he didn't want to leave, the space-time magic array in his left hand would forcibly send him back.
"Let's say goodbye to Arthur at this last moment, he has been studying with me alone, and you should be his first real friend. ”
After some time, Ethan will return to the Sea of Calm to continue his voyage, while Arthur will succeed to the throne and become the ruler of the country.
Both of them have their own paths to follow, and even if they can meet in the future, they can only simply catch up, and it is impossible to travel together as before.
The two looked at each other, and when it was time to separate, both of them remembered the scene when they first met.
"At that time you could not be as high as you are now. ”
"You're still so thin, but you look more mature. ”
Arthur is now taller than Ethan, and although Ethan works hard to supplement his nutrition and insists on exercising every day, his congenital deficiencies still prevent him from becoming a 'warrior'.
"There are many worlds you can travel to, and there are countless possibilities in those worlds, and when you can't do magic on your own, you should consider something that will improve your physical fitness. ”
Arthur was genuinely giving himself advice, and he didn't want this to be a farewell for the two of them. If you want to see Ethan again, you must ensure that Ethan can live well, and improving your own strength is the best way to survive.
"If I were to come across a world like this, I would go for it. ”
Ethan knew his weakness, and in fact he had considered getting a Super Soldier serum from Tony, or a modified version of the Desperation Virus, but it was not possible to get the stock solution. He can make some improvements through magic, even if the positive effect is a little worse.
In addition to that, including the Blood Orchid, the various viruses in the Resident Evil game version world, and the kind of medicine in the superbody world are all on his hunting list, and the biggest problem now is that he can't be sure when he will be able to enter these worlds.
"I look forward to seeing you next time. ”
"I also look forward to seeing what the kingdom under your rule will look like. Ethan's left hand began to emit a pale blue light, and the space-time energy began to activate as expected, and the pattern of the magic array had formed under Ethan's feet.
Arthur looked at Ethan, who was gradually engulfed by brilliance, silently withdrew from the range of the magic array, and gave Ethan a big gift as a disciple.
By the time he looked up again, there was nothing in front of him. Ethan has already left here, and he doesn't know when he will be able to see him.
Ethan, who had returned to the Sea of Calm again, sighed depressedly as he looked at the Goddess of Dawn, which had once again become only his own.
From the beginning, he knew that Arthur would not be his long-term companion, he was just a temporary crew member, and even a tourist was almost the same, he would only be a tidbit of his journey, not someone who could accompany him to the end.
"Although I have known it for a long time, I am still a little depressed. ”
Taking out the fruit wine that Merlin had given him from the ring, Ethan took a large sip, the cool juice sliding through his throat, not only making his whole body excited, but also shaking his spirit, as if he had absorbed a huge amount of nutrients.
"Something Merlin sent...... It's really not ordinary. ”
Immediately taking things back, and feeling calm after being stimulated by this, Ethan looked at the much deserted Goddess of Dawn and made his own decision.
"It's also time to say goodbye to this ship. ”
Ethan had planned to return to Stater Island after returning from the Marvel Universe and use the Death Stone as a bargaining chip to build a new ship of his own. After Merlin has once again improved his strength to make up for some shortcomings, it seems that there is no need for this plan to continue to delay, and the matter of a new ship is already imminent.
Whether it's a stormy sea or a new sea, this ship can't meet the demand, Ethan needs a larger, more stable ship that can withstand the rough sea conditions, and also needs to consider the problem of being able to operate it alone.
By the time he had solved them one by one, it would be time to leave the place.
"Then storm the stormy seas and travel to a new world. ”
Lifting anchor and hoisting the sails, Ethan took out the island pointer, switched to the mode of pointing to Stated Island, and then piloted the Goddess of Dawn alone and embarked on the way back.
