After a few months, Ethan returned to the island of State.

Compared with the last time, the changes in his body during this time can be said to be earth-shaking, from a thin fisherman boy, to a mage apprentice who has touched the mysterious power, and the equipment on his body can ensure that he can move freely in this sea area without worrying about his own life.

"This is the island of State?"

Arthur stood at the top of the aft building, looking over the harbor while Ethan negotiated with the managers stationed there.

This time he drove back two boats, the smaller of which he was going to sell back to the Adventurers' Guild. The larger one, on the other hand, was ready to be repaired and renamed the Dawning Goddess for his own use for some time to come.

"This time, it can be used for a little longer, right?"

In fact, it was impossible for him to leave sooner when he came to State.

It takes a lot of time to unload the cargo on the ship and count it before selling, and the ship also needs to be repaired and cared for - the previous Angus didn't know how long he had been floating at sea with this boat, and when was the last maintenance?

He doesn't want to drive the boat to drift on the sea, and suddenly find all kinds of problems that lead to him in danger, the safest thing is not to care about the cost, and directly carry out a major maintenance of the ship.

"Also, get rid of the names on the side of the bow. ”

"So what did the name of the ship change, and where did it engrave?"

The name of the ship is engraved on a separate wooden board and then additionally nailed somewhere in the ship, which will not cause damage to the hull itself and will also facilitate the name change.

There is only one shipyard on Stater Island, which contracts all the shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance work in the Sea of Calm, but although it has formed an absolute monopoly, the price is fair and the craftsmanship is trustworthy - most of the ships in the Sea of Calm are built by them, and there are so many adventurers in the craft.

With the help of the port, the shipyard sent a young man of about 20 years old to receive Ethan, in addition to determining and registering which ship to be maintained, but also to record all the additional requirements of the employer, so as to avoid conflicts caused by deviations in the final delivery.

From this point of view, this shipyard, which does not even have a name, is still very conscientious.

"Goddess of Dawn. Ethan touched his chin, and after a moment of thought he decided to hang his name on the stern of the boat: "If possible, add me a bow statue, a praying goddess statue." ”

The bow statue is not an unusual thing, but it is purely a decoration and is rarely requested to be installed - these additional additions are subject to an additional fee.

This kind of thing, which is useless to others, is different for Ethan. He had learned a lot of things, and he had been practicing at sea for so long, and this time he was going to change to a larger prop to practice his hands. It is a bit dangerous to test directly on the hull, and it doesn't matter if the bow is like this, and if it is damaged, it will not hurt the ship itself.

If he succeeds, he can upgrade his ship with some abilities! That's right, he just wants to engrave some magic circles on the bow statue, so that his ship can become a magic warship.

The young man sent by the shipyard, named Margo, heard that Ethan was actually going to install a bow statue, and his routine expression finally changed.

In fact, he was a little surprised when he saw this ship - the mad dog of the vicious dog Angus is still somewhat famous on the island of State, not to mention that their shipyard is responsible for the maintenance of almost all ships in this ocean, and this ship has been seen many times.

Of course, although the reputation of the vicious dog is not small, but the strength is also the same in the eyes of these people who have 'seen the world', and it is not surprising that they accidentally kicked the iron plate or were killed because they were unlucky.

It's just that I didn't expect that this young man not only wanted to keep the Mad Dog for his own use, but also had to carry out a lot of transformation - it seems that this young man is not only strong, but also financially weak.

"Is there anything else to do besides the bow and routine maintenance?"

Margo turned his head to look, there were many wounds on the ship, it was obvious that it had gone through a battle, but the marks were shallow, and they did not need to be overhauled, and they could be repaired properly. But after making sure that Ethan seemed to have a lot of money, he was ready to develop the big client.

"What renovation projects do you have?"

"Oh, that's a lot, I'm afraid it's not clear here, if you're interested, I suggest you take the time to visit the shipyard in person, not only has a detailed catalog, but also actual samples can give you a more straightforward understanding of the specific effects of those modifications. ”

Ethan didn't expect the service of this shipyard to be so in place, so he nodded and agreed: "I'll go and see it myself when the cargo is unloaded." ”

Margo made a note in his notebook that since Ethan had promised to come in person, he didn't need to waste time here. He came today just to record the service that the other party needed, and the ship would wait for the cargo to be unloaded before being sent to the shipyard by someone else.

"Goodbye, then, Ethan of the Dawn. ”

"Goodbye. ”

Seeing Margo leave, Ethan returned to the ship. Workers brought in by the harbor steward have begun to take the ore out of the ship's hold and load it onto one ox cart after another.

It was only then that he realized that the ore he had found was a rough ore with a variety of metals, from which commonly used metals such as iron and copper could be extracted, and it was the most common and demanded ore in the world.

Despite the fact that it is very common, in fact, because the demand is huge, and even the inhabitants of the islands who do not go to sea need a lot of copper and iron, so the 'price' of this ore is not low.

"If all these ores are sold, we will be able to live without food and clothing for a long time. ”

Even the shipyard is willing to use ore to pay for his maintenance, repair and renovation, although the specific price depends on what he wants to transform the ship into, but in the end it will not consume much.

"Are they all shipped to the guild?"

"Yes, and then store it directly in the guild. ”

The guild had sent a special clerk to handle this matter earlier, and such a large amount of ore was enough to attract their attention.

"Do you need to arrange a slightly larger accommodation this time?"

This clerk is very discerning, not to mention that the guild would have arranged people on a boat together when arranging accommodation.

"It's okay to get closer...... By the way, does the guild have a place where people can exercise?"

"There is a dedicated driving range and it's completely free. It's just that it's a common space, so there will be a lot of people, and there may be some bad things happening. ”

The words are very vague, but the meaning is already in place. Ethan nodded to show that he understood: "That's okay, arrange the two of us to live together, preferably closer to the driving range." ”

"Okay, no problem. ”

Naturally, someone else will do the statistics, and all the clerk has to do is record all the 'property data' in Ethan's personal name, and then go to the guild to back it up, and then Ethan can consume the property stored in the guild to enjoy some 'charged' services, and at the same time, he can also 'buy' the things he needs directly from the guild's store.

Unfortunately, the guilds of the Sea of Calm still use the simplest form of barter, and there is no currency that everyone can accept to facilitate transactions.

"Forget it, it's better than having to carry a lot of stuff on your back. ”

Now he was glad that he had joined the guild directly, instead of breaking in alone. Not to mention the storage of materials, it takes a lot of time just to collect all kinds of materials.

With Ethan's 'account' depositing a large amount of 'property', a lot of information in the guild began to open to him, and even the clerk told him some information very bluntly: for adventurers who can bring a large amount of materials, the guild will not only provide all kinds of information, but even support them to a certain extent.

For example, priority is given to providing information and new ships, for example, when in distress, other idle adventurers will be called upon to rescue them, and after encountering 'bankruptcy' trouble, the guild will provide some basic ship supplies so that the adventurer has a chance to turn around.

These treatments, as the adventurer brings more wealth to the guild, will also get better and better.

"Oh, and so many more?"

"Of course, there are many benefits to joining a guild. Speaking of this, the clerk suddenly leaned over and lowered his voice: "In addition, including the Sea of Storms and the information on the side of the Sea of Storms, can also be consulted in the guild. ”

"Oh?"

Ethan is more interested now, he planned to collect some relevant information during this time, but he didn't expect someone to send a pillow when he fell asleep.

It's just, what good is it for these clerks to tell yourself these things?

When I thought of the first time I joined the guild, the person who helped me to join the guild was the same, always sneaking around as if revealing all kinds of information. It's just that these messages are good for him, and it doesn't seem like they are deliberately tricking him.

"What are these clerks looking for?

I really can't figure it out, but by this time the goods have all been disposed of, including the ore of the two ships, which have been shipped to the guild, and the rest of the food and water on the ship will be used as payment for the employment of these laborers, and the rest will be handed over to the guild to be disposed of - these things will soon be sent to the market to be sold, and exchanged for other things that can be stored for a long time and deposited into Ethan's account.

By the time all this was done, Ethan had no time to visit the guild's database, so he could only go to the assigned room with Arthur to rest.

"Let's wait until tomorrow to check out the reference room. ”

After a brief wash, Ethan is ready to simply practice his mental power and rest, and then go directly to solve Arthur's language problem tomorrow.

"I didn't expect that even in this matter, Merlin left me a test. ”
